An vehicle overhead clearance detector devised to prevent a collision between an overhead obstruction and a vehicle and a cargo carrier attached to the vehicle by providing at least one sensor and a laser finding device operative to detect the overhead obstruction, a digital camera, and a visual flashing alarm disposed on a waterproof housing body disposed on a rotatable mounting base and in communication with a central processor unit operable by a driver. A monitor with integral speakers displays images captured by the digital camera to permit the driver to see any detected overhead obstructions. The housing body is disposed atop a motorized telescopic pole between a cab of a semi-tractor and a semi-trailer is operable via the central processor unit. The housing body is mounted atop the telescopic pole for proper positioning.
