This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Probably one complication is that the trucks need to be able to drive while the bed is up in normal operation. They have to move forward while dumping to spread the load.
Not just to spread it, they have to scooch a bit to let the material fall. The tightest end dump pile is still a fat line.
This is an amusing sentence out of context.
"Shit, that's just Tuesday night around here"
At speed?
Therein lies the complication.
Nah, all trucks transmit their speed on the CAN network. It's very simple to implement.
Sounds like you found your million dollar idea! Now its as easy as cashing all your cheques! Congratulations!
