Didn't think it was you
Well I mean, never would've guessed it was you*
Yea it is lol
Glad ur okay
volvo👍
Ur rig?
volvo👍
You drive this?
where i do that
andd where do i find it on the channel
Somewhere on top
here?
ahhh here
👀
morning
whoops

Doesnt matter
Unless where do i then
Unless YOU tell me where ido i dont know where i am
I am a child and lost
help me
If your lost dont use discord? 🫠
then im not lost 😄
Give
Wtf why they closing so early
And why does ur planner not keep it in mind and just send u somewhere else xD
why you all 3 got scania's🤔
cuz scania is best
They are Scania boys
damn
Gotta flex with the best brand
Only if 16l engine is under the cabin 😜
💪
Or a 7.8 infront of the cab
Waiting to unload?
Which is exactly now
hurry up then 
Nice. Excuse me for asking, do you work with fuel trailers?
Ethanol
UN 1170
I understand 🙂
Fuels are okay to work with too but this and gas are very clean to work with
Clothes stay clean and dont smell
I'm going to take the ADR to work with dangerous goods in the future.
Yep, at the moment I'm working with a Curtain Trailer. 🙂
Just be prepared that the police will constantly stop you
I know about it...
I meet the police more than i meet my boss

@undone willow do u drive that
no its just some Scanias i seen and didnt know where to post them but here
Well its not meant to go here unless u drive them
then where if you know
Other media channels
what rule says you cant post irl trucks here
i dont see no rule that i cant post irl trucks here
its also still trucking pics
it doesnt say it had to be you that is driving them
just saying
You have to be the driver
im on PC i cant see that
Click on the title of this topic, and it will popup, also on PC
well can you tell me where to put them
On pc it should show up right on top vs phone where it wont
Also go sleep @magic girder
Am late today, just got home, but i'm going to bed within the next few minutes
why did you just get home, did you do a nightshift?
Always nightshifts for me
Damm how come
They where late with loading in Roosendaal, and to unload in Drachten i had to wait, all doors where already in use, and on my way home i had to take a detour because someone almost missed his exit and drove into the ditch, so my exit was closed
Damm thats annoying
Stupid people causing jams due to the fact they dont wanna take next exit and turn around
And then in return crashing causing them to be late even more 
Bound to happen 
Lovely
Trailer
Palletbox floor rusted so much everything just fell through
Luckily I was driving relatively slowly in a city centre
It's behind one
So it's the trailer
Small
This why if u store anything but pallets should just put in a plank
Then if its rusting trough u have less risk of losing ur junk

You hardly realise it's a small thing, irony. 
So my boss just called me and told me our new Scania got sent to Simeon Sverige
So my truck is in Sweden

Company leadership is reassigning trucks like crazy
But ig it makes sense when you have over 700 trucks and trailers and you need to be biased with what needs to be genuinely replaced
Call bosses boss to complain
Its not really a problem for me but kerosine drivers desperately need a new truck
Ill gladly get this machine to 1.5 million km
Still a long way to go but probably by the end of the year its about a million
Most likely same here. 873869km atm 
Inb4 its a race to see whos brand has a total breakdown at some point
no way your doing 250k in 10 months
unless that thing is doing day shifts too
Oh it does
6000km in a week nonstop
Probably even more when Hartwall starts begging for more booze

Poor Scania
This kind of tipper trailer will remain my pain to hook back onto
there’s no room for messing up or just correcting yourself
boem is ho 🤷
accurate 
What? 
Stop when you hit smth
I usually stop when I hear a noise I know my spot where to look when I know Im aligned which if I don’t see the numbers on the trailer means Im alligned
Literally kaboom💥 is stop

Truck-
7 years ago, broken down in the City center of Groningen, antit thefts system of the loadlift/reardoor gave out, lift was open and partly down, unable to move it

ASMR ofcourse
Mmmm yes snow
Did you threaten that bridges family or something
It got something against u man
Sadly its a remote controlled bridge 😭
good to see u post again
Each time i see you posting a pic of your truck it reminds me of a company that is located close to me, they have the same collors
nice
Had to clean the front plate from snow cuz the automated gate couldnt read it and thus didnt let me in :p
shouldve rang bell
I love slush
u basicly took away your free speeding method
True
alltough u do nightshift
u can just put reflective letters on
and if cam flashes ur plate is white
as u guys got the old speedcams
So ur basicly doing 85 already anyway
so why not on limit then
my speedo is at 107 if im on 100 road
so doing 102/103 gps
Complaints from the higher ups before
Well some ADR companies are strict about it
Like Neste trucks are all limited to 80 iirc
I just have my cruise at 80kmh. Used to have it on 83 but slowed down a bit
Speedo
aka theyre doing like 77-78
Yeah
true i geuss as u do night shift
Except when going to Koff or Hartwall i kinda have to do 85
but during day that may mean having to wait few mins before being able to unload
vs a hour
Nah we have our own loading and unloading schedules
Never have to wait
You could say we have VIP priority, everyone else has to wait before us
80 is fine, i also drive 80, i'm never in a rush, and my gps says i'm doing 80 to 81, so happy with that
u can rush when im waiting in the cold 🙄

that is different, customers can wait
DHL can wait indeed
And i'm paid by the minute, so why rush
So that means the more i would rush to be home early, the less i get paid
i aint

i take time wherever i can
Got a nice pay per hour, so i take full advantage of that
I have per hour which is standard ig
Same, and my boss pays me well, so i take it
Its nice when you can always happily know when your salary is gonna come
Not like my first company
O yea, thats a good feeling, having it each month at the same date
I get it the 25th, unless thats on a saterday or sunday, then its the friday they pay
Nice
Just saw my hour table for this month, getting paid 230 hours + night
Ez money
And easy work
I love how i am driving 83 only yet i am still constantly stuck behind Posti drivers
Neste trucks always let me pass then but not Posti
Dont wanna tailgate them so im just doing a small break now
Gotta be kind to snails
Sheesh that's a lot.
In the summer time its closer to around 260/70
Must be getting paid quite a lot then 
I can not complain, 3500 ish a month
This is after tax, pension, and some other stuff
Pre that its a lot higher
Oh that's a steady amount then
It is, can't complain at all
Since i started with the company i about doubled my pay
Thats kinda bad
In a good month im doing 26-2800
With less hours and in a van. 😅
Gonna be that alot more now probably if i get overtime in as i got a raise
Doing about 50 hours a week average
I do less
Im geussing its mainly the night bonus that causes u to be at those high salaries
Once you get paid more, the tax man also takes more
Do u also get food money etc
True
Id rather get paid a bit less and not have to give up more in tax
No, but a night compensation
Stupid tax being paid double if not more on certain things
Yea, tax is juat stupid
Posti 
Battle of the kappaletavara
Yes 
You'll remember when you see ones
Probably
If i go study in HAMK then im probably gonna continue doing work with my current company
Never work with them, but the times i do, its really easy
5 years ago, really nice truck to drive with, 2008 XF105.410,
Yeee
Abolish the government
We pay way too much taxes here
i was driving 82kmh and got passed by a 32 meter who procceded to stamp on his horn while passing
dude think hes driving a little box truck or smth
who is holding you back🤨
Well i'm sure your big monster truck can make some space
Is sand all you guys drive in netherlands?
No, gravel, dirt and everything that fits in it
Difficult reverse ever with heavy rain and no space to go forward
Ah okay all ive seen is sand lately 🤣
its like, there is rowan lets open the bridge
@magic girder n3 is closed this weekend apparently
Have you also been denied to tip asphalt cus theyve thought there was too much gravel even tho the excevator literally was using a grid bucket
Ah ok, I drive for all sorts of quarries and customers so its always diffrent
Well, have to take another route anyway, A28 is closed too
Yea, gona take the A50, A59, A2, A59, its only 15 minutes longer
not too bad then
Sconia👹
Thought i found i another swede for a sec
u drive it?
No its my uncles
But we work together when i have a break from school
That my hobby since ive been little
Then #irl-media
Got my big boi back
She's hurting🥲
Also started pumping diesel fumes from the parking heater right into the cabin
Came back from unloading today after 1hour with the heater on and the entire cab was a literal fume chamber
Not sure If this is the correct thing for cleaning my mirrors but whatever
Thats uh
Not optimal
U clean ur mirrors?
If they get too dirty i just go to truckwash and get whole van cleaned instead
Wich i may aswell do tmrw as theres birdshit covering my blindspot

I washed the truck when i went to work and after 150km it was entirely covered in road salt
I cant see crap at night
Smh i just cant wash my truck when ive only done 25% of my trip
I just use some water and a sponge to clean my mirrors if they are to filthy to be seen through, but that is during the week. At the end of the week it gets done with window clean and normal soap while I am doing a full cleanup
Id like to clean my windows when i am at Koskenkorva but theyve strictly said no
For whatever reason, probably because of hygiene issues
I just carry window cleaner and a window cleaning brush thingy in my truck. Does the job really well
Thats good
If i had the motivation i could just powerwash the truck every single day
Company leadership specifically encouraged us to wash them more often
"Theres never been a driver who has cleaned their truck too often"
I may carry to much stuff to clean my truck, have window cleaner, all purpose cleaner, brake cleaner, wet wipes, 3 different brushes, tons of towels etc, sponges
I just wipe my mirrors clean with a wet wipe or a rag
Im not allowed to wash as often as id like to 😭
I dont
Welp boss just called me and told me Anora is going to reduce delivieries in the next 3 weeks atleast
So next week only 2 trips, then after that ill drive alone for 4 days and then i am going to be driving a completely different truck to Pansio
Taking burger king to my cab
Best way to eat food is always in your own cab
Picked up my 2 new models of the company, they gona drive with me tonight
Not gonna lie tho I'm still wondering why my company's not owning more of those aluminium tippers because damn we can load 30t inthose bad boys and not too slow to accelerate on uphills with our 460hp T cab
Nicee
They gave em or u bought them
Bought them with a huge discount
nice
Should ask your boss to get one made of your truck
150 retail each, we got them for 90 eacj
im geussing he sells them for profit
unless its to employees
wich is i geuss very standard / nice to do atlleast
Company got them, sells them for thier price to us, so the company does not profit from them, they now did all the employees, and soon the also have for other people, but then you have to pay retail, we also could only buy 1 of each, when they have more i can buy more if i want
They decided only to do the 2 models we have now, they want to do a box truck later too
They probably won't
i know when i got my truck license
im remaking my work truck in a rc version then
so i hope by then i have a nice scania xD
got my medical test next month
😄
Did a full wash of truck and trailer and the cabin while the others were loading the last few trailers
Also reorganized and cleared out junk of the cabinets and removed all the dust
nice
Feels so good to have the cabin 100% cleaned and squared away
clean truck is important when u live in it all week basicly
is this the xl cab btw? @proper elbow
or is it the "normal" cab
cuz that bed looks pretty big
how big is that bed?
Lemme grab a measuring tape

2m length
And 80 width in the middle and 60 behind the chairs
But I'm a small man so I don't have any issues at all
thats not bad
bit narrow imo but like
if im in a small bed like that ill sleep against the wall anyways so its fine 😂
You can pull it to the front an extra xx cm. Maybe 20 or sum
But I can be bothered to slide the seats back and forth every time
Magic or something
:D
😂
Slides back and forth and you can tilt it 45 to access 2 small storage baskets next to the 2 fridges
im geussing thats just the 2 boxes tho
that are normally accesible via the outside
or theres more
No those baskets are on top of that
ah nice
geuss thats more for easy acces i geuss
good for putting spare clothing etc so its easy to reach

very nice
Get them free when you order something
i just realised like this week i have a second 12v plug in my chair
i needa figure out if its on when my van is off
if so i may order some cheap interior lights
Some brands use a fuse for that
So if you remove the fuse there will always be power to sockets
yeah
But which one and which brands I don't know
i needa see where my interior fuses are
as most likely u can swap a fuse around with where its in
to enable power
but ill check if the other one is always powered or not
cuz if it is its also out of the way wich is nice
so can just dump the wires behind my seat
Stay there, I'll come visit rq
I go to Tampere in every shift
Lahti and Tampere every shift, yikes
Back in January... I can't belive we have to share the roads with these people
wouldve loved if the vw in the opposing lane just didnt brake
Why
Theyd be off worse
Its a up its not very good to be in a crash in headon
dam
On both driver side too
yeah thats the point, and the vw would win in a court case and insurance wise
that wouldnt go to court
also just cuz u can get money
doesnt mean its worth all the permanent problems....
Yeah cuz it would be insurance, hospital bills. But if there’s a death. You’re done for
accident like that ur fked
either way
i did a similar overtake yesterday not proud of it
was like 100 meters left
but not as bad as that one
🫠
Its now well past 9 eta
I havent even started work yet
Took a hour already for under 1km lmao
oof
did you go from Groningen to Limburg? 
No
anyon ehere drive fliegl trailers?
Unbelievable
Pickup the load before 2pm they said
Loading fix at 2pm they said
Yeah 2pm tomorrow


Ever tried 34m? Since its allowed in Finland 👀
Nope, but I've tried 30m
You drive that?
I wish!
Just spotted it may be in wrong channel if so I'm sorry
I believe it is wrong channel yes sorry
I think it’s fine here, to be honest
Description states otherwise
fancy seeing you here
Ikr
🔥

Just the other day I was having a conversation with a colleague about all the new trailers we got and I kid you not the old trailer we were standing next to spontaneously started creaking
If only it was summer
Well it's just a bit too cold but yeah
its not
I'd prefer 15C but oh well
Just wait 4/5 months
Staying at my secret spot

Dead end street between 2 companys always calm and guarded by nearby security cameras
not like thats stopping diesel thieves
Locked the caps
Nothing more you can do
Not that they're gonna get much out of it anyways 
Are these only buyable in Europe
usually yes
WSI is het merk voor hoogwaardige schaalmodellen in schaal 1:50 dat toonaangevend is op de internationale schaalmodellenmarkt van trucks, trailers, kranen en grondverzet
WSI is the brand for high-quality scale models in the 1:50 scale and is a leader in the international market for scale models of trucks, trailers, cranes and earthmoving vehicles
thanks
do you charter for dhl
@magic girder how
70 ton at leaaast
Domt want to be posting overloads on the internet
pfffftttt
how do you get stuck at a gas station?
so you are stuck because you have no grip?
Yeah basically
Well not anymore
Had to do some weird moves
And some kind bus driver threw some gravel to help with grip
Hate this kind of weather, cant stop anywhere
do you not have chains?
damn
My best friends
what truck do you drive?
This
niceee
Loading time
Tip it in the water

@lucid birch Saw the big Zandink truck drive past me a few mins ago on the N221.
Not sure why it choose to reply to your message)
Wait was that you driving?
Past Dierenpark Amersfoort?
Or another colleague, nevermind it can’t be u if ur at A1
Will be visiting you soon 
Oh thats too bad
Im the whole day on the N414
Saw a zandink new man with trailer on the a1 somewhere near Deventer yesterday
I was stuck yesterday in a rest spot at Tuulos 
Glad i am not the only one
Where was this taken
Yes
Drive had to do a night shift for the first time in months, he was a little tired and went into the guardrail
HCT time
This looks big but i saw one of those crazy Posti HCT's at night
AB double or whatever you call them, looked horrifying
Yeah, this is only 28m long
Or atleast that looks very much like something you can actually reverse with
Just lock the rear axle with rear fogs and reverse like normal 

the bridge here
Ok thanks and this was in the Netherlands correct
Yes
🫠
All the trucks i had in the military had some wacky knobs and settings
Rasi 
How do you know which one you need to use?
U use one all the time unless u get stuck
Then u use different one
That sums up locks quite well
If you cant move even with all of them on then lol
Chains it is
Give
Everyone gets stuck with 10x8 work
Its normal 
Some construction workers think 10x8 are capable of doing everything they want.
But we also have limits 
just don't get stuck
~construction workers
Basically yes
And then they expect you to drive on soil from a farm thats hella wet.
And not a hard surface
with their vans its possible, you on the other hand weighing 50ton not
Oop
When h have house delivery and just open the gate and park to unload and the owner comes running out that this aint smart because for all i know her dogs are out
Well add a signto your gate / note to delivery order then


No but really
If one of your dogs is dangerous depending on kts mood to people who walk in
A sign would be smart yk
Anyways off to next delivery tk also unstack by hand as my van is in for service 
There was a guy here on a small wheelloader i shoulda asked him hey wanna take this out for me xD
should make it a law for companies that have dogs there to put a sign up
3 is enough
Back again at my favourite factory
The police did a nasty prank on me
I was having a very quick pee break at some random resting place and they stopped next to me while i was standing and tryna mind my own business, asked me if i was going to Lahti and i said yes, told me theyll inspect me next time lol

what part do you mean?
Parking air conditioning
Where is my Nobel Prize?
@summer valve is your company called Rajala something something Oy
Ive used that few years ago.. during the winter... 😉
Rajala Logistiikka Oy
I think i saw a truck of your company for the first time in daylight
Where?
Low roof?
Then it was either CMS or other OXH
ive driven to Lahti over 30 times now and ive seen your company trucks like only twice

Doesnt help that theres the huge DB Schenker terminal next to Hartwall so its only those moving in the area
I see your company trucks like 3 times a day
And little bit larger company
Do you have any idea how many drivers are there in your place
~20
We're a pretty small company tbh, which I like
Fair
Simeon might be a pretty huge company considering we have over 600 drivers but we are located everywhere in Finland, Baltics and Sweden
Rajamäki is the HQ but theres mainly only ethanol drivers stationed there
Some dudes have their trucks stationed at their own homes
Lmao
great management you got
Started of with incorrect reference number, then issues with the maximum weight, then got loaded, oops wrong freight. Unload, load correct freight. Oh damn 13 tonnes on the drive axle, reload it. Done. 8.30pm
Got told it was first time testing out how loading goes at that company. Closer to the main unload address than the previous return load address... Safe to say we won't be going there again
Atleast they get paid a crapload in waiting fees
But yeah annoying for u as days wasted
Maaaan this is tempting... no i guess ill be good and go around.
Would not risk that
Ud probably make it trough
But sink a tiny bit with no issues and get stuck on the legs 
Yup, and If i get stuck thats fired immediately lol
Not worth it 100%
Hey thats my truck!

Oh and my car
No keys? No problem
Aint this faster and more fun anyways
if its tight on space yes
Give
no >:)
I don't wanna be stuck 
Skill issue
Womp womp
Next week ill be driving alone for the first time, kinda cool ig
So i can decide when i wanna go to work everyday
Only need to make sure i am at Hartwall and Sinebrychoff at daytime
I mean
U can
Have u not seen the predicaments the white plate banditos get into in a small van 
"Can you please not put anything in the way" sure jackass
#irl-media exists ya know 
I aint wanna bother
I should be getting a pass

Irl media sucks
Filled with kids wholl go insane
Speaking of
They missed us on the way as they were looking at highway they went insane when we came back xD
when is the next event coming
what event?
Go home
this is where TruckersMP takes you
Moving a empty trailer with the boys so I can have a spot in the front 
Gearbox kaputt

engina start 5 minute
tidin tidin tidin
lmao someone did that yesterday
cuz he was like well if im leaving empty
im parking there

Thursday and Friday finally some proper hours for a truck driver
And from Monday till Wednesday
64 hours and a bit
Does anybody wanna play euro
Perhaps asking in #looking-to-play-ets2 would be a better option
what did you do?
They didn't wanna respray the corner of my bumper
So I did it myself
Some ass put a pallet right where we park disconnected trucks
In the dark... With no lights. Without telling anyone
So I reversed out and adjusted a bit the right and boom
what a ahole to put a pallet there
someone didnt do a walk around 👀
You know
you dont need that
because we walk around our vehicle anyways when loading / unloading so u just check then
people shouldnt put stuff where vehicles park
You gonna do a walk around for a vehicle you used 1 hour ago?
Appearently its needed 
it shouldnt be needed
whoever put that pallet there probably got a stern talking to / warning
lol
Why?
because they put a pallet somewhere its not meant to be put
as its where trucks park
Whose fault is this?
He got choked for a good 30 seconds and then was forced to make coffee
haha
Got that tablet mount installed finally
nice
nice truck
My wallet isn't saying the same

well yh but thats beside the point kek
im almost allowed to drive a truck kek tommorow i have my final theory exam and then onto driving lessons
and hopefully pass in 1 go
otherwise the wallet aint liking it kek
Like volvo
Me too. Scania is much more spacious no doubt about it, but I like having everything more cramped and easier to reach. You bring much less unnecessary stuff and it feels cozier. I'll remove the top bunk though for more space in the bed
Easier to reach on Volvo?
Yes
Cupholders, fridge?
Top compartments
I've never had any issues reaching those
me too regardless of brand
Me too
What do you mean by this?
Having a Scania caused a massive urge to get an extra table for it, which doesnt even fit properly because of the stupid navigator holders
the stuff above ur head
Why do you need to open those while driving?
2nd show me how this Middle one is better then Scania one?
You'll open them to take what's inside that's how it works with compartments
While driving?
Sure or without standing up
Are Volvo seats good or bad?
Good
Because in a default Scania it feels bad for me
Not ideal considering my height anyway
yeah volvo seats are nice
But lower seatbase in volvo is almost a necessity
Ig it would be cool driving a Volvo on my job
But then again company is 100% going to say no
Because the Scania we have now has been far more economical
But thats been the only reason they bought a Scania
It's dependent on a lot of factors
My old boss was a volvo lover from a drivers perspective but as a business owner he bought Mercedes
Because the mercedes shop in my town is superior to anything, always made space when needed for urgent things
Yeah id imagine thats the same reason for us
Since the Scania shop is quite literally in the same building as our HQ
The maintenance schedule is so tight for our truck that its far better this way
mandatory maintenance check is every month
Yep it's not always the name on the grille that matters
In the end i dont really care about what brand it is
Ive just driven Scanias solely throughout my career so they feel the most easiest to use
Like with Mercedes in my town if you go to service or anything scheduled you'll get a clean washed truck back, while volvo only does what's necessary and give it dirty back
Kek
I once had the yearly EU check and got some problems with a leaking air line. Got it fixed and only needed volvo to come look that it's not leaking anymore. Volvo said they could do it in three weeks 😂
Jesus
But it all depends from place to place
If theres something wrong with our Scania, ill just take it to the Scania dudes inside the depot and theyll usually fix it immediately
Went to the next city went inside Volvo and they said of course we can look at it and approve it
Opticruise started choking and they just changed something in just 2 hours and back on the road again
I wonder what DAF shops are like in Finland
Not that they are hugely popular like Iveco's
In northern norway the service network is bad
For daf
Renault works as it goes under Volvo but Volvo and Scania has a good service network with mercedes being close
I'm surprised there aren't more sisus from Finland
Well the way i understand it is that Sisu is essentially just a reworked Merc nowadays
Cabins and engines coming from Mercedes atleast i think
Is it produced in Finland
i have this with the old mans
not with the newest ones
but the old ones they feel so tacky and simpel
like with volvo with the lights they slowly go bright or go out
with man its just on or off
Odd looking truck innit

It identifies as bigger then yours 
Thursday first tests 
Good luck
Wasnt there a guy here from finland that drives for o.jylha?
Yes

same location for both?
At least its not twice at the same day
clean trailer
Washed it on Friday
and today was the first day of driving with it again?
I know where that is 
Certified road salt moment
Yesterday
My old truck, still don't miss it
Its best for the work we do, and hills, we don't have those here, only a few in the south, but thats it, 90% is just flat here
Almost, although we do work into France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, etc but don't go up north, so 2 axle trucks are plenty for us
Kinda
Up hills
We aint got that
Only in Limburg and the Veluwe
Glad i went to work earlier today
Stuck?
Mhm

at our depot aswell
I didn't have a moment where I was even close to getting stuck tonight
The truck has been stationary for 4 days so thats the reason ig
Even though i dropped the axles

Would be nice if it got a bit more warm
So tractors could clear our depot yard from all the snow and slush
Oh @proper elbow
Where in arnhem
Im going trough arnhem back to dordrecht
And stopping for fuel
doesn't look close to where i go trough in arnhem
Ofc not
This is some random industrial estate
Geuss im on the lookout for a wessels
Or with his luck hes there for 4 hours to then be told hes late


Sunny for once
I recognise that place 
But can you recognize this
No kappaletavara drivers allowed in here

Hartwall
