So I have been thinking about how some drivers today have a laptops and tvs in their rigs but thought that is too many items that you might not be able to hook together. Laptop screens are kind of small, unless you bought one that has a huge screen, and can take up lots of room, so why not do something different? I present to you the HP Streambox. It can do most of what people want with its built in WIFI, and since external hard drives and flash drives are not badly priced you could store lots of music or movies on them, how you get them is not any of my buisness . Now this hooks up with a HDMI cable and most tv's today have those in spades and the audio could be run to an auxiliary input on the trucks stereo system, or even the TV itself. This would also be great if you have a Netflicks or Amazon Prime account to stream movies from, and with a webcam you Skype with loved ones from time to time. Most importantly is the size of this thing it so small that it will not need much room in the truck, and given that room is a commodity while on the road that is a bonus as well . Also the price is great as well, it comes in under the $200 price point.
Something to consider when looking for tech to have on board the truck.
Dm:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
