    Is the forum rotating them? It's probably rotating them to fit if that's the case? :biggrin_2552:

    They are 800 x 598 pixels which is more of a portrait picture instead of landscape. Change that setting on your camera to landscape. Then it will be more like 598 x 800 pixels.

    To fix those you probably can go into paint and crop them down to 598 x 598 and they would be square. :)

    Like this, but change that camera setting.

    It probably took him 30 minutes just to get like that. He was settling for it at all costs.

    Werner you get door 25 and door 26! :)

    I'm not familiar with Ipad but it doesn't have any camera options in settings? Maybe it's the orientation of the iPad? :biggrin_2552:

    I wouldn't throw the whole generation under the bus. There is a learning curve to backing but the rudeness was uncalled for. Personally, I'm grateful when a old hand points something out to me. Chalk it up as a learning experience.

    Some of the worst behavior I see is at the fuel islands. And they aren't rookies. I'm sure it's not the gentlemen on this forum but someone tell the others where the parking spots are. I can see going in to take a leak but lately I have been held up for 20-30 minutes. If your going to sit down and have breakfast then PARK and walk across the lot!!! It's called common courtesy.

    Now, now. He just likes to take his half in the middle. Let's just hope he doesn't do it on the highway.

    I'm still not exactly sure how you think you determined he was a "rookie".

    Maybe he got a good look at his nose and saw that it was still somewhat straight.

    Because no experienced driver, with any self-respect that is, would leave his truck parked that crooked. This one certainly wouldn't.

    Although, in the defense of rookie drivers, I couldn't tell if there were lines painted on the ground. If those aren't there it does make it tough to back in squarely.

    We have a guy here that has a tendency to back pups in so off-center the load racks won't even fit through the dock door.

    Exactly E-6. I pick up from a lot of places where there are no lines on the ground, first rule once you bump the dock, GOAL. Only in this case, it means, get out and look if you are square to the dock and in a straight or almost straight line. If they were already working his trailer, all he had to do was drop it, pull out, and back under it again, just straighter. It's called courtesy, and it's sad that it's so uncommon anymore.

    Still seems mighty speculative. 99% of those at the controls of trucks can't all be rookies... can they...?
