ABSTRACT The invention provides an apparatus and method for monitoring the volume of material loaded into a truck body. Apparatus is provided for sensing the volume of material held in the truck body and indicating, visually or audibly, when a pre- determined volumetric loading has been accomplished. Such an indication informs the appropriate personnel that, if the mater- ial being loaded is of high density, loading should be stopped. Several different embodiments for the sensing apparatus are dis- closed, one of which is a plurality of horizontal holes in the side of the truck body located at a level corresponding to the maximum loading level for a high density material. A cover plate is provided for covering these holes when not being used as a horizontal sight gauge for monitoring the volume level of the material being loaded. Each of the plurality of holes includes a mechanism for preventing material flow through the holes when the cover plate is lowered to expose them to view for use as a hori- zontal sight gauge.
