Here are some photos. The first shows the monitor built into the dash. Volvo had enough blanks for switches to accomplish this. I moved active switches to blank areas, freeing up enough room to cut a hole in the dash plastic and mount the monitor in it. Also shown is the camera dome on the...

We purchased our 8-camera system from TS2. http://ts2net.com/prodmobile.html I am reluctant to provide advice about camera types because technology changes so fast and I have not kept up. It might be best to contact these folks and Safety Vision with your color-camera and night-vision...

I served three years active duty in the U.S. Army and several years in the national guard. Active duty, I was a radio operator. In the guard, I went to the infantry school at Fort Benning, Georgia, earned a commission, the 11B MOS (Combat Infantryman) and served an infantry batallion in various...

If Broompilot could be anyone he dreamed of being, he would pick a place in time where he could kill other people and return safely himself.:( It takes a dark soul to produce a fantasy like that. What's going on, Kraig? You used to be happy...

It has been a while since the new rules went into effect regarding HAZMAT endorsements (fingerprinting, background check, fee increases to cover the costs of both). Soon after the new rules were in place, a number of driver complaints were heard about the process. Some industry publications...

No officer has ever measured our truck. If one did, it would come in at 40.0" exactly, including dock bumpers. I have heard first-person accounts from two drivers that got in trouble with overlength straight trucks. One was in California. He was ordered out of the state by the scale cop that...

While the rules may be complex, the actions are easy. Keep booze in any amount out of your truck and out of yourself when you are in the truck. Diane and I are home now and have both the truck and ourselves out of service so we know we will not be flagged for a random test (though...

If I saw a cool truck entering or leaving a sensitive area, I would not take photos of it because I would not want to come under suspicion myself. If I was carrying certain kinds of sensitive or high-value freight and someone was photographing the truck, I would consider it a threat and...

Just a test post to see if my Avatar image works. For info about the program I used to make it, see: http://www.expeditersonline.com/dcforum/DCForumID1/5572.html

Here it is resized to 48x32. Pretty tiny.

Thank you Dunbar and Pelican. I'll keep trying until I get it right.

No privacy rights, copyrights or ethics are violated by people who post pictures of trucks they see on the road. A truck out on the road is a public event. It is no different than taking pictures of a rock star at a concert and posting the photos you took. If you used the truck's or rock star's...

Well now! That went over like a fart in church. I thought I finally had the avatar thing figured out but, nope. My custom avatar looks terrible. Any tips?

Photo with fixed avatar. This one is sized to 48 on the largest side of the photo. Avatar is no longer distorted.

Here is the same photo in the recommended avatar size of 48. Notice that the avatar image in this post is distorted. That is because I used the 100 pixel size in that. Below is the avatar sized to 48.

Some of you may have noticed that I am sharing more photos on EO than I used to. That is because I stumbled across a neat little program that makes it a breeze to resize digital photos for easy posting here. The program is called Resizer. You can download it free at...

Certainly I am not the only one out there with photos of big-sleeper expediter trucks to share. The invitation to share your photos remains open. Paul56, I am especially interested to see a photo of your truck. There are not many out there where the sleeper is actually bigger than the box.

Well, when we built our truck with an 11-foot sleeper, we could have built one with a 15 foot sleeper instead; flush mount the lift gate, use a VNM chassis instead of VNL, go with the minimum required box size of 14 feet instead of sixteen and, presto, we have a 15 foot sleeper. I guess that...
