#

lmao meanwhile if we post "dangerous" driving our stuff gets deleted within mins and warned

#

and this still here

formal minnow Sep 24, 2023, 12:23 PM

#

the only real danger no offense

#

is drivers like you

#

from east european countries / wherever

#

where theres way less rules / requirements for getting license

#

who drive like absolute baffoons when they get send to germany / netherlands etc

#

So your saying u have seen dutch plated trucks reversing on highways

#

then cutting across 4 lanes trough a grass divider

#

because they missed their exit

#

when in reality they are on a paralel that merges again

#

just cuz the rear is yellow plates doesnt mean its dutch trucks

#

thats what i basicly said

#

either way when they come here its foreign drivers

#

german / belgium / french plates we dont count as foreign

#

anything else thats white plates is

#

well you said u overtake in construction zone etc

#

that proves that is not really true lol

#

because it may look wide but isnt?

#

you dont slow down just cuz its construction

#

you slow down because the workers

#

the amount of dirt / rocks theres on roads u cant see

#

but that get launched into the air / to the side at high speed because a car or truck drives over em

#

that alone is one of the reasons of lower speed

#

u dont want to get hit by that if your working on the road

#

okay and?

#

ok and?

#

its for a reason

#

especially seeing your not a european company and probably working for barely any profit

#

if u get caught youll probably get a big enough fine to lose your company and go bankrupt lol

#

construction zone = bigger fines

#

thats what eu companys make with a van

#

💀

#

companies like yours is why truckers get less and less respected honestly

#

we have 0 foreign drivers

#

ok so tell me

#

how much do u get paid on average per month

#

kekw

#

and how much hours is that

#

per month

#

and im geussing u dont get extra money for food / staying in truck

#

or for shower etc

#

okay so imagine being a owner

#

and you get paid the same as me if i put in alot of hours

#

wich will still be less then you

#

ive had 152 hours this month + 24h overtime

#

and i got 2300

#

if i was a owner i wouldnt get out of my bed for 2600

#

i can earn that as minimum wage at any company on truck

#

i mean if u have 3 trucks running

#

and u cant afford 600 more a month

#

your not charging enough

#

okay yes but anyone can do that

#

as soon as you get your first truck

#

u either charter for others and use their trailers

#

or u get jobs secured and rent / lease one

#

and if u dont pay yourself much ofc u can afford more trucks soon after if you are looking to expand

#

if i get my own truck and i pay myself 2k a month i can ofc also afford another 1/2 trucks within a year

#

doesnt mean its a good thing

#

if u maintain them

#

instead of just driving months with no maintenance

#

u can easily do 4 years + with truck

#

but im geussing u never drive home

#

to do maintenance

#

tf u mean its not safe? XDDD

#

if you maintain your trucks

#

its very safe

#

theres people who are still running their trucks after 1million + km

#

i mean

#

that can happen at 200000km on the truck too

#

it shouldnt just randomly crack

#

unless u skip on maintenance

#

and abuse the truck

#

Well if u drive netherlands im there 90% of my workweek

#

okay

#

u got certain companies u attend in rotterdam?

#

i mean

#

not really

#

ok but u arent leasing are u

#

u said u bought them

#

if your truck is bought and paid off

#

and its reliable

#

u may aswell do the 15k in maintenance

#

and keep it going for another 3 years

#

well i hope whoever u give that truck of your employee

#

u buy him a new matress and a full interior cleaning lol

#

i mean

#

yes he wont need it

#

but its nice to have

#

because if u have a bed and your on break or 2hours waiting for loading

#

your going on the bed to rest

#

all truckers here have bed in their truck even if they are home

#

sheets on it everyhting

#

especially if its been lived in

#

id get him a new matress and full interior cleaning profesionally

#

seeing its been lived in lol

Just filled up, 3800 km in 5 days, 860 liter of diesel and 35 liters of adblue

magic girder Sep 26, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

Only NL doing day and night, day does local distribution and i drive a night route, weights differ a lot one moment i weigh 35 to 40 tons other moment only 20 to 25 tons

#

I sit around the 20 liter a lot, although it also helps that i can take my time and have a relaxed driving style

#

Been as low as 17.5 liter per 100 km average over a night

#

I do have time for that, and i love to try to get the number as low as possible

#

My old 2008 CF was also really good with fuel, MX13 with 360 hp, did always run around 22.5 when i drove with it

#

Would be possible, give me a week and i think i would be able to get it under 25

#

Same engine as the 510, only differemt turbo and managment

#

We used that truck with 30 ton loads, always pulled great

#

Mostly flat yes, but still enough hills around. But no need for more than 500 hp, The old CF bacame a beast after the turbo blew and got a engine rebuild and a turbo from a 460 and a adblue delete, thing went into the Coentunnel(one of the largest) with 110 km and came out with 85 to 90 fully loaded

#

My current truck is a 450

#

They took the risk, after the engine was rebuild the truck drove for 1 hour, DPF system was burned when the turbo blew, and after spending 15 k on the engine they did not want to spend another 10k on a new/used dpf system

#

Adbleu tank was always half full

#

This was just damage from the blown turbo, bearing went and engine did run on its own oil, so the dpf got so hot it got burned on the inside

#

It is for sure

#

It is for sure, thats why i love driving old trucks in ETS2

#

My old CF is now somewhere in africa doing its second life

#

Love driving my 143 heavy hauler or the 95XF with the Cummins engine

#

I know that there are some pics of old trucks from the company runninh around the world

#

We have multiple running, the XF model, sofar not to much with those

#

Some electrical gremlins, but no mechanical what i heard

magic girder Sep 26, 2023, 10:18 PM

#

I know that most are happy with them, never heard of that so far

#

Can understand that, i will drive my CF for about 4 more years

#

The XF105 had the best seats

#

Same in tre CF

#

Big matrass

#

I like them the most with a spring cab for some reason

#

Got 2 om the front axle, 2 on the rear axle and none on the cab, but i'm fine with that

#

It is, although there are some bad roads too

#

Go to the A27 between Gorichem and Lexmond, a part of highway where you want air overywhere

#

It got better after i has been resurfaced, but its a bad piece

#

One road that was really bad got completly rebuild, when driving on that road when going 60 the truck would come of the ground, rear bumper hit the road multiple times causing sparks

#

Overal the roads here are good, local/smaller roads can be bad sometimes

#

Although we have constant roadworks going on

Total weight, have a 2 axle truck and 95% of the time i drive with a 2 axle trailer, so 40 tons total is the max over here for that combo

formal minnow Oct 5, 2023, 2:59 PM

#

here they either have overhang

#

or they extend the trailer depends on the size

#

usually its extended somewhat and then some overhang

#

because otherwise trailer is too long and permit wise / stuff they then just do overhang

#

because theyll fall within certain rules then i think they wont need a escort

if i can get a van charter for this company

and earn 6-7k a month as a company

id be able to get a truck within a year safely

the more the better ofcourse

but if im getting serious ill look into that stuff

we have alot of solo's at our company basicly that charter

who solely charter for us

Well, the problem i see with the smaller US sleepers is the lack of making use of the space there is in a usefull way

#

Take for example that fridge, its placed up to the roof, looking at the picture from the outside there is also a storage under the bed erea, so the floor i see is raised and the top the the storage erea, i assume this storage area is only accesable from the outside and not from the inside being it a all metal floor in 1 piece, this leaves a huge erea you will never fully use, if they would have been smart to create more space the fridge could have been placed in under the bed in the open space of the under bed storage, made as a slide out fridge leaving the place where the fridge is placed now open for cubboards along the roof to store personal items like clothes or a microwave
