Nah, leopard ftw

[turbid latch]

Or true chads be transporting the Marksman

[summer valve]

True chads be transporting monnis

[turbid latch]

Done that enough, got fed up with the seats

[summer valve]

I never did that

[turbid latch]

It wasnt supposed to be something i need to be doing but having over 120 recruits and less than 8 drivers kinda means they made me do anything

[summer valve]

[turbid latch]

Thought being the only BECE would be fun but turns out it was just crap

[lean oracle]

Cocaïne time?

[daring sail]

more grip now

[restive shoal]

the boss must really love it

[rugged cape]

@fossil canyon did you tag me

[proper elbow]

My truck for tomorrow

Same type as my own luckily

[lean oracle]

It can’t be the same, that one isn’t a broken piece of shit

[turbid latch]

Is it slippery in the north rn

[rugged cape]

No

[turbid latch]

Based

I loooove it when theres 2x more snow and more colder in the very south and when i go north, spring has already arrived there

It just makes sense

[restive shoal]

You drive this?

[analog galleon]

No

My truck

[restive shoal]

So why are you posting the other truck here?

[analog galleon]

Heavy lifting heavy transport

Because I do heavy transportation the vehicles I drive are constantly changing

[lean oracle]

Is all that red from stuff ya hit that’s covered?

[analog galleon]

No they light up at night like fluorescent lights

[lean oracle]

Ah just curious as I was like they’re all over the place not all angled exactly the Same haha, id painstakingly take a entire day making sure they’d all be exactly at the same angle and all

[restive shoal]

and if i were your co-worker i would miss place them or put them all in different angles

[lean oracle]

Booo

That’s just my add gotta be perfect or I can’t leave till it is mwhahaha, id reslly spend a day at it with lasers measuring and all

Or just do circles as then that issue doesn’t really exist

[rugged cape]

Blues while on the road is such a vibe

[restive shoal]

watch me

[lean oracle]

Bhahaha asdhole

[restive shoal]

unless i like the design of how you put it

[lean oracle]

Bhahah tbf if I were to put reflectors wich I honestly my taste wouldn’t if I’d have it I’d do it like the cops n all have them the dots around the top

[restive shoal]

do it like a heart like people have in ets2

[rugged cape]

Dots what

[lean oracle]

The reflector stickers

Id use dots so the ocd isn’t as strong

[turbid latch]

Crazy that its only monday and ive just seen atleast 2 drivers on the motorway that drove like they were drunk or something

[restive shoal]

maybe they were drunk

[turbid latch]

Probably yeah

mood

[summer valve]

Feels good to be back in a Volvo

[velvet quest]

Going thowerds Umeå Sweden

[rugged cape]

Me too

But sleep first

[velvet quest]

Nice

[summer valve]

@turbid latch

[rugged cape]

No

[queen brook]

Special delivery operation

[formal minnow]

U aint drive it tho?

[rugged cape]

He is double manning can't you tell

[restive shoal]

being 17yo and driving?

[rugged cape]

First time I drove a car I was 5 so anything is possible

[velvet quest]

It's apl aka pratik

So I get to drive the truck on the terminals

[formal minnow]

Ill allow it 😂

[velvet quest]

I going to this special school here in Sweden where I get for free driving licence and all other licence for free. And then I got APL aka a Pratik place where I am allowed to drive under special circumstances like on the terminals because is a close of area

[formal minnow]

Yea

[turbid latch]

Very clean

[calm parrot]

mans is basically an intern

[proper elbow]

Had to get rid of the top layer🥵

Beautiful out here

[turbid latch]

This is peak Netherlands

[rugged cape]

Break

[formal minnow]

I was like why am i sweating its not even sunny

Belgium rn

[turbid latch]

This is just unfair

😔

[summer valve]

Indeed

[turbid latch]

I should show you the back of my truck

The western europeans here would feel disgusted

[summer valve]

Gotta love the blown airbag tho

[turbid latch]

Oh i didnt even notice

💀

[summer valve]

Was moving a trailer when it blew up. Luckily I wasn't next to it

[turbid latch]

Posti trailer?

[summer valve]

Yup

[turbid latch]

My colleague said theyre kinda crap, some of them

Since he drove Posti too

But we do have crap stuff too..

Like the trailer i pulled last week, made in 1985

[restive shoal]

Perfect parking, did it take you long to get it right?

[velvet quest]

Really nice to see Swedish military use Scania T Cab

[restive shoal]

Are you sure that isn’t @summer valve

[summer valve]

I don't drive them any longer

[calm parrot]

I dont understand why they drive old ass 4 series

[restive shoal]

Probably thinking why replace something that works

[calm parrot]

Well its shit
shit should be worth replacing
also like both volvo and scania are made here why dont they make a special deal with the military or something

[turbid latch]

@summer valve Wasnt as bad as i remember

Last week the whole rear was gray

[lucid birch]

Tomorrow i have to reverse into this with 50-60 tons

A bit to much to the left or right and i fall over

[formal minnow]

If the road even holds u to start

[blissful locust]

optimistic

[formal minnow]

It touches the 160 in right conditions

[summer valve]

You don't even have a trailer, so that's easy

[blissful locust]

damn didnt expect that for a big van

[calm parrot]

naaah u should be fine

[lucid birch]

I hope so

[rugged cape]

It's easier and cheaper maintenance and repairs

[rugged cape]

Normal

[turbid latch]

Im fairly certain the Finnish and Swedish armies have deals with Scania to maintain those older Scanias

[warm estuary]

nice name

[turbid latch]

Atleast the Finnish army does

[rugged cape]

Try practicing that in a war scenario

[turbid latch]

Well yeah

But older is better

[magic girder]

Less technology, so less stuff that can break, engines that can run on bad quality fuel

[lean oracle]

Ive thrown my shorts in my lunchbox already just ncase, especially as some offices are stil ridicilusly hot inside

[lean oracle]

But only the truck u dont got no trailer nothing should be fine

[lucid birch]

Still easy to tip over

If im to far to the left or right

[lean oracle]

Owh def

But i mean what way to get known in the company u just joined than do that

[restive shoal]

The Netherlands still has euro 0 dafs for training

[magic girder]

Also the new Scania's now

[rugged cape]

How will you tip

Doesn't look deep

[magic girder]

Soft sides

[rugged cape]

Must be basically mud then

Can't be that bad surely

[formal minnow]

Oh it is

Even normal small trucks get stuck onto these roads cuz it just caves in

If ur unlucky

[lean oracle]

Yep, see them often at the dealership behind my work altough theres no base near me really so i wonder if each group gets a dealer appointed or so that they can split the maintenance over multiple so its never full with their vehicles and can get service on time

[magic girder]

I believe they do it like that, spread them out, they also do a lot of maintance them self

[lean oracle]

Yeah but I think they do the normal simple stuff but major stuff n all not, in war times probably do full but as leased they only maybe do oil changes m tire swap anyways as it is after all leased

[magic girder]

Probably lease buy, but its also cheaper to have it on a contract, as you pay that much max, and if there are more expensive things broken thats on Scania to pay

[lean oracle]

They’re for sure lease and at end they probz buy them instantly or get new ones

But for sure those first 5 years they lease as cheaper than lease to buy but probz has some contract where they can do certain maintenance to teach their staff

[proper elbow]

3 times forward

Was some debris on the street so I couldn't use it's full width

[lucid birch]

The road is 2.45m im 2.50m

[proper elbow]

Doing calais-duisburg irl

[lean oracle]

Looks like u coulda been 5 wider too nothing to worry about

[lean oracle]

Where’s the honking overtaking reck ban people?

[calm parrot]

Sounds like my life

[silk zephyr]

Im surprised of their equipment on the tractor unit for sucking into the tanker the factory waste.

[calm parrot]

idk if its a nordic thing but why is it always here where i live we always drive trucks with minimum 3 axles meanwhile rest of central europe drives around in super singles like no tomorrow

[silk zephyr]

Because fuel economy, tire economy and because people don’t wanna blow loads of money for special chassis configurations when singles can do the same job for cheaper

Also because they wanna save alot of weight

[lean oracle]

It mostly in end relies on company’s too, some rather have the single ace in rear while others like two

But also singles in cities run better as length and steering radius

[calm parrot]

Pffft theyve clearly havent heard that the more axles you have the cooler you become

[silk zephyr]

I mean all companies wishes to have cool trucks but gotta start somewhere with what money can offer you a good job revenue

[calm parrot]

well yes i was just making a joke, i also think many companies here in the nordic countries atleast option for more axles is for better driving during the winter months

[silk zephyr]

Because it makes sense and it's safer

[calm parrot]

and it looks cooler 😉

[silk zephyr]

Not gonna lie tho if I wanted to buy my own truck I would go for an XF105 cuz man the engine noise

[calm parrot]

I have never driven nor heard a xf105
only passed them on the road

[proper elbow]

I had my lessons and exam in a 105

Those machines are proper shite

[formal minnow]

He already drives shit

So he just thinks its less when it aint

[turbid latch]

Dude got upgraded from a DAF to a Super Scania

I can only see that as a big W

[calm parrot]

thats a W

[turbid latch]

All the foreign DAFs i see daily just give me anxiety

Theres just something so unpleasant about them

[silk zephyr]

I mean just listen to it

[calm parrot]

not much to listen to when you literally only started it

[silk zephyr]

Yeah it was back in 2021 I think so I only have this kind of video of an XF105 sadly

[formal minnow]

Ah nothing like a polish on highway with his rear trailer door swinging open

[lean oracle]

Hehe

[magic girder]

105 is just the best

[turbid latch]

I might be pretty bad at reversing

Supposed to be the most easiest place for reversing yet constantly i manage to get the trailer somehow slightly off

[proper elbow]

To be precise from a 15 year old xf 105 manual shitbox that could not go into 1st 3rd and 6th after a cold start to a 2022 scania super with virtually no problems at all except the sound

upgrade

[turbid latch]

Scania supremacy

[proper elbow]

Real

[turbid latch]

[proper elbow]

Except I'd trade it in an instant for a MAN

Just can't top em

[turbid latch]

Well its nearly the same thing ig

VAG supremacy then

[proper elbow]

Yes

I got my b license in a golf so that makes sense

[magic girder]

Had that with one of the old company truck, after 2 days you are used to it and you just skipped the gears

[formal minnow]

i mean

not like u needa be straight there

aslong as hose reaches

[turbid latch]

No i need to be

Theres an emergency gate behind

Cannot block it

The hose is also stupidly impractical

[formal minnow]

Yes but i meant as in dont matter if ur not 100% straight

aslong as the gate isnt blocked

[rugged cape]

Sore throat remedies in the truck 😫

[wide knoll]

@formal minnow Hello

[calm parrot]

thats the most british shit ever

[calm parrot]

Waiting as usual

[rugged cape]

Nah

[lucid birch]

Long day today

[formal minnow]

didnt get stuck for once? :D

not really

[lucid birch]

Legally allowed to carry 52tons on public road

But can do much more then that

In the netherlands yes

The first 3 wheels are steerable

And the middle is also a liftable

[formal minnow]

in normal circumstances yes

He can lock the front 2 steer axle's aswell

[lucid birch]

5

[formal minnow]

not sure about the lift

ah yes 5 then

[lucid birch]

I can lock everything

[formal minnow]

rowan where u driving tomorrow

[lucid birch]

Almere

[formal minnow]

Alrighty

my luck is always being sent towards groningen on fridays so if thats the case ill stop by

[lean oracle]

Yeah its called working for ya money

[magic girder]

Time to start the last night for this week, saterday a day of school for code95

[restive shoal]

take the MAN

[magic girder]

Would be nice, but i pick my CF

[restive shoal]

tell ya co-workers to drive a bit slower on the A50 will ya

[magic girder]

Why

They probably have places to go

[restive shoal]

cuz they cut infront of my bus

[restive shoal]

yeah Wegrestaurant Mendel

[magic girder]

Not much i can do about, i have about 200 coworkers, so hard to find out which one it is

[magic girder]

He picked a good spot for his rest

[restive shoal]

true, but i rather see him and me life a day longer

[magic girder]

I know, thats the best for everyone

[proper elbow]

Unloading and loading for tomorrow

[turbid latch]

Forklift operator

[proper elbow]

Certified even

Parked next to big brother

[restive shoal]

i thought big brother would be S model

[turbid latch]

(this has been the most useless thing ever)

[summer valve]

Facts. Jobs don't even require one

[summer valve]

Nah, in reality, the big brother is a L series

[turbid latch]

I had a fricking EXAM FOR IT

And everyone failed it firsthand

[summer valve]

Same. Both in amis and intti

[turbid latch]

It was fun tho

Drifting with it on snow

[summer valve]

[proper elbow]

We don't do S

it's neRf or nothing

[turbid latch]

Bruh!

S Scania is a must have

If only my boss would give us it already..

[formal minnow]

HOW

u just listen for like 3/4 hours

answer one or two things not even paper

like a hour or two of forklift operating

then a exam proving u can zigzag it and stuff

its impossible to fail unless u destroy something

[turbid latch]

They made us do a test on the first lesson

[formal minnow]

u had lessons?

[turbid latch]

For whatever reason

[formal minnow]

[turbid latch]

Yeah

One whole week

[formal minnow]

i was driving forklift for like 6 months before already at work

after like a month of working there they were like ok this how it works

drive around for 15mins or so so u know how to grab pallet

and good enough

and then i got sent to course

just incase i kill someone they insured yk

[turbid latch]

Only time i needed the license was when i had to plow snow in the army

With a tractor like thingy that wasnt a tractor

No idea what they are called in english

Army had some weird ass license rules

Like how youd need a separate license to operate forklifts and tractors

[blissful locust]

grader?

[turbid latch]

Oh not that big

This kinda goofy thing

[restive shoal]

wheel loader

[turbid latch]

Yes that

Funny drifting tractor

[calm parrot]

bro actually

[proper elbow]

We do the same with shunting and coupling here

Since there is absolutely nothing to do on day shift we grab Tweety or the the blue MAN and practice coupling with the newer interns

I've seen 15 year olds drive better than some senior drivers

[formal minnow]

Lol

Because they race those things

• race em in reverse its a great way to learn reversing without the pressure of making all your stops because your not as fast yet

[lucid birch]

Around 60 tipper trucks on 1 massive job

And this is field one

There is another one thats even bigger thats already done

[formal minnow]

Damm

[proper elbow]

Cb radio chaos?

We typically use 9 for on terrain shunting but it gets hectic when it's 5pm lol

[lucid birch]

To much chaos

[lean oracle]

[proper elbow]

He's been staring at me like that for like 30 minutes

[restive shoal]

this you?

[proper elbow]

Yes

I've lost my curtains and roof

[turbid latch]

Yayyyy next week is gonna be ass again

Or ass in a good way since i have a lot of work to do but three different customers again to serve

Means i gotta probably go flat out

[calm parrot]

One of us

[proper elbow]

Moved all the trailer to the back

[lean oracle]

Good for you doing your job haha

[proper elbow]

Not even my job

Just made it my job

Finally using the adr certificate

[turbid latch]

Nice

Only missing the UN code, then youre a true ADR chad

[restive shoal]

doubt police will do anything about it, cuz many companies drive like that

[calm parrot]

well un number is needed for some goods
dont remember the rules and laws fully but basically like that

[magic girder]

You don't need UN codes on the sign, as it can haul different types at once

[proper elbow]

Out here being busy

[calm parrot]

what the f

[restive shoal]

@jade tangle uhm can you like do something?

[jade tangle]

Great message to wake up to kek

[magic girder]

Its really really rare, but it can happen

[calm parrot]

that looks like a model set ngl

i was genuinely fooled

[uncut vapor]

lol

I own my miniature truck too

[turbid latch]

Looks cool

Tank trailers best trailers

[lean oracle]

It needs more coal

[polar ruin]

I know it does. But it has to be MOT compliant

[restive shoal]

beekman is a weird as company

[lean oracle]

I mean tune it so it does and have a setting to go to the right tune when it goes in for mot

With a hidden switch or smth

[lean oracle]

Your weird too, tf is ur point

[polar ruin]

Haha I mean I can't say your wrong but what's that weird about it?

[polar ruin]

Nahhh, the driver doesn't care enough

[polar ruin]

And money. It's the oldest lorry in the fleet doing like 3 km long trips

[restive shoal]

so beekman has a charther my dad works for and me and him went to somewhere in brabant for a load that wasn't there and beekman kept saying it was there until they checked their email a few hours later

[polar ruin]

Hahahaha, which planner did you have? I think I already know

[restive shoal]

dunno couldn't hear his name but it was something with steel we needed

[lean oracle]

Lol

Tbf that isnt the company but just some office dipshit who thinks hes right without looking at the answers that are clearly in front of him

[polar ruin]

Yea he always makes those kinds of mistakes

Which company does your dad work for then?

[polar ruin]

Biggest know it all in the company he is. But the problem is. The chaotic and sometimes unreasonable he is. He is genuenly good at his job and handling sudden changes

[restive shoal]

riggeling transport duiven

[lean oracle]

Good at his job yet he says hteres shit somewhere to pick when it aint

That sounds like stupidity to me

[polar ruin]

Ohh that's your dad?? I've spoken to him before. I do remember he was struggling to get that city in the spot tho hahahaa

[lean oracle]

It needs more lights

[polar ruin]

He's just too chaotic, it's not that he doesn't want to

[restive shoal]

my dad drives what ever truck is needed so he doesn't have his own truck

[polar ruin]

Ohhhhhh

Right

Might not have been your dad then

[restive shoal]

yes but the driver of the truck doesn't have time to add them

[lean oracle]

Hm

Im wrking n getting my license soon , got a test day planned after that the lessons will get started

If the truck ill be set to if i hopefully get a own instantly if not i wont but when i do, that shits gonna light up like a christmas tree haha

[restive shoal]

most of the time beginner drivers are jumpers at a company

[lean oracle]

Yeah one im at probably too altoguh they got lotta trucks so wil see, gonna be half year probz before i have my license so

[polar ruin]

It depends at beekman, you can immediately get your own lorry or if you wanna try out which one you like best you can aswell

[lean oracle]

What they get to choose brand of truck theyu want?

[restive shoal]

all i know is that at rabelink we have some jumpers

[lean oracle]

Company im working with has majority volvo, they got a few old dafs, a few new mans and like 2new renaults that are in the paintshop atm and 2scanias

[polar ruin]

Man, Scania, daf or volvo

[lean oracle]

Kinda cool theyll actually let ya choose tough

[polar ruin]

Who are you working for then?

I do love Volvos

[lean oracle]

Not gnna say anything yet

As the stuff is still in the works

[polar ruin]

Yea it is tbh, if you want a tgx you can get one or if you want a XG they can see what they can do

[lean oracle]

I wont sign till i got my license basically but im gonna keep shit private for nwo, to protect myself if someone ever decided here to troll or whatever

[polar ruin]

Oohhh yea I do understand

[lean oracle]

Owh so u can decide the model too? Thats dope

I just hope when i do kinda like scania and volvoi as those are always nice decked out trucks

[polar ruin]

Yea just which lorry you prefer and they'll see what they can fo

Do*

[lean oracle]

But i doutb theyll let me add much to the truck

[polar ruin]

Are you allowed to do stuff to lorries yourself then?

At that company

[lean oracle]

They do allow if u work hard prove urself not slack off, as its a reward that u get to add ur moenyt and customise it like u want, but yeah i do wanna add some nice stuff, so far their trucks dont got but id like to add a roof bar with lights and a beacon for instance

So far what i heard yes and no

Not too much, interior seems to be free game but exterior it depends

Horns grill lightgs n shit yeah

But well see how it goes haha

[restive shoal]

tbf the trucks gotta look a bit like each other

[polar ruin]

Sounds amazing, we can't do anything. Like that at the company

[lean oracle]

All i know is if i ever go to like start my own business im getting a custom truck built lol

Yep thats why said, what i seen exterior most is like lights under the bumper, on the grill horns on roof whats modified exterior]

[restive shoal]

that is like every big company

[lean oracle]

Its a smaller company im hiring at, they got like about 45 drivers they said

[polar ruin]

We can't do anything that changes the look on the exterior, we can do stuff to the interior but it can't be permanent or change the looks from the outside

[lean oracle]

Each wich had their own truck tough mostly

I assume with new drivers and non retiring they get new trucks and the more seniors get a new one if they waht i assume is want that new one and the newbies get said old truck

[polar ruin]

At the previous company I worked at had about 500 lorries and it was free game to an extent and you had to pay it yourself

[lean oracle]

Yeah one im at working to get is same, u can modify if u prove irsellf if u slakc off theuy aint gonna reward u as in allow u to modify but its ur own money obv that goes to it

[polar ruin]

So it's even more strict than proper lager transporters

[polar ruin]

Not even everyone could do what they wanted

At the previous company

[lean oracle]

Nice

[polar ruin]

Then again they were all lease so they couldn't care

Less

[lean oracle]

If i modify shit the first ill do is interior cuz stuf can be cheaper there so to say like adding leds n shit

As idk if id be there for a lot of years or not ya know

[polar ruin]

Yea exactly you can just get some covers and shit

[lean oracle]

Dont wanna invest a few k if idk id stay there for long

[polar ruin]

No exactly

[lean oracle]

Tbf but i dont think theyd allow and its a lot but id like to add a bullbar ya know

Light behind it n all

[polar ruin]

You have to pay at all yourself or jot

Not

[lean oracle]

Yep

Imma ask when im at a group ride for my ape if someone got a roof rack, if such ill add my lightbar to that so ill also can bolt it down fully so if i tow it i dont gotta take it off cuz magnets wind rating, and then probz add some michelin mans to it the tinier ones lol\

Probz hook some leds into it so they light up when i want it to

[polar ruin]

Sounds good

[lean oracle]

Yep

Idk if u seen it yet in #irl-media

[polar ruin]

The tuktuk?

[lean oracle]

Yes

[polar ruin]

It genuenly looks really cool!

Bet those light bars give a shit ton of light

[lean oracle]

Yes

The rear i gotta get some brackets made but looking on temu where i got the ones from that didnt fit it seems they got those that would fit so just gotta measure it

The rear is more a never be used os be pointed up against people riding on my ass and when i know i drive where i can use it like bicycle paths without lights it will be aimed noraml to light behind me wich both will but it lights more

[formal minnow]

Dirty

[turbid latch]

Yeah worse in the back

[proper elbow]

Made it just in time for the 30m break

[proper elbow]

Bugger

Got invited to the BAG tea party

[lucid birch]

Different bridge this time

[lucid birch]

Wow! So nice of them.

How much was the tea party?

[restive shoal]

you and your bridges

[turbid latch]

sugar truck needs to be grounded for some reason

So i cant offload anything because the sugar truck got here first even though theres two separate pumps, hes got the only grounding wire thingy

Amazing

[magic girder]

Static energy, sugar can explode too

[turbid latch]

Wack

But i dont understand why im told everytime that we can both offload at the same time

Even though we cant

Theres no toilet in this stupid factory backyard 😭

[turbid latch]

Nvm found a solution

He had a grounding wire for his tractor so we can now both offload at the same time, thankfully he is estonian so we can make this easy

[lean oracle]

There is, against the wall

[turbid latch]

I

Theres security cameras everywhere

[lean oracle]

And? Your not camera shy are you? Not your fault they don’t got toilets

[turbid latch]

i meant the other kind of toilet situation

[lean oracle]

Tought there was some law in Europe or smth I heard one time that it’s illegal or smth to not have a toilet acailsble fro driver

[lean oracle]

Bucket and cmv tickets for paper 😂

[turbid latch]

oeo

[lean oracle]

And some gasoline and a match

[turbid latch]

Kek

I dislike this place

[lean oracle]

Haha

[turbid latch]

Hate driving here anyway

[lean oracle]

You’d expect some toilet but there probably is to be fair, just not where your offloading

[turbid latch]

Yeah all the doors here have locks

So i cant go anywhere

But i go here like once a month so tbh i cant be too bothered

Hartwall gives me free drinks and has a toilet so its nice

[lean oracle]

I also think it does make sense I mean you don’t want drivers start unloading and leave their trailer behind to go take a piss or such incase something happens

[turbid latch]

Theres a scale on the main factory i go to, some dude decided to park his truck on the scale and then go to the toilet for 20 minutes

Meanwhile 6 trucks atleast were waiting

[lean oracle]

Hahahaha

I mean if it ain’t locked it’s fair game

With the keys in

Put it back to the end of the que

[turbid latch]

Kek

Dude sitting on the toilet and suddenly the truck is gone

Gotta be creative

[summer valve]

Good

[turbid latch]

Everything in ordnung except there was a uberholverbot apparently

[ember fulcrum]

How long would it take an 18 year old to learn and get a trucking license in Europe and how hard is it?

[summer valve]

I got mine when I was 18 so do the math

[formal minnow]

Depends how good u are

U could theoretically get it within 4 work weeks if you dont fail theory and do one week of driving lessons with exam last day

Then another week if u want ce i geuss

[proper elbow]

Theoretically yes

But not in NL

Crappy waitlists

You get fasttracked if you're in school still but otherwise you might have to wait a few weeks

[ember fulcrum]

I haven't even got my car driving license yet but I have knowledge in both

I am aiming for the car license first then trucking to potentially get a job

[turbid latch]

As soon as i turned 18

[silk zephyr]

Brand new cars out of factory already totaled to the recycling facility that’s a yikes

[ember fulcrum]

You have to have your B license before you get your trucking one where I live

[formal minnow]

No

Theyre prototypes

They dont have vin nr

They probably got 200k km on them already

And arent safe to be sold everything must be destroyed for liability reason

[silk zephyr]

[lean oracle]

depends on the companies, plenty who buy the slots at cbr so they can do daily exams n shit

[proper elbow]

Doing some reconnaissance again

Why are all baumschulen hidden in the middle of nowhere 🥲

[proper elbow]

I now identify as a farmer

[restive shoal]

So when are you going to protest against the government

[turbid latch]

I can only imagine the fun of driving there when its muddy

[proper elbow]

Germanys number 1 enemy appears to be wide streets

[calm parrot]

Makes you wanna jump off a bridge

Ive gotten stuck way too many times cus the farmer said well the tractor did fine

[turbid latch]

https://tenor.com/view/vary-nais-top-gear-bottom-gear-richard-hammond-gif-21059354

[formal minnow]

One indicator kaput?

[formal minnow]

Well the tractor is made for it

[formal minnow]

U drive this?

[proper elbow]

Now that you mention

I'll check when I can

Don't have any errors on the dash

[formal minnow]

How dk u not realise a massive orange stick blinky to not be on

[teal kayak]

RACE. Milano-Trieste. We need to be 5 minimum

[restive shoal]

what has this to do with irl trucking?

[teal kayak]

i just need people

to organise a race

[restive shoal]

oke but this is for irl truck drivers

[teal kayak]

ik

[lean oracle]

Then go to where ur supposed to be not here

[formal minnow]

Its also not allowed to race in tmp

[calm parrot]

Exactly

[formal minnow]

Ofcourse handsfree

Id share my pov but that was definetly not handsfree

[turbid latch]

Smol

[formal minnow]

Smol indeed

Soon bigger hopefully

Waiting on my boss now lol

[proper elbow]

Whoever was in charge or deciding the spacing between the hooks deserves a proper spanking

[glacial halo]

Not me my grandfather yes he drive

[formal minnow]

Then it shouldnt be posted here

[formal minnow]

Atleast u got hooks

[proper elbow]

means I can post any truck of our company since I've driven them all

[glacial halo]

Yep know but I ride whit grandfather always
I drive it sometimes

[summer valve]

Found the exact same picture in Google. So highly doubt that

[glacial halo]

The truck in country is famous

Even the Instagram page have pictures and videos

[summer valve]

Why don't you just admit that you nor your grandad don't drive the truck. If you did drive it, you'd send a picture that's not found in google

[formal minnow]

I tought that aswell when j saw the text above the left fender

But cant be assed to try reverse image search on phone

[glacial halo]

Because it's my grandfather

[summer valve]

Highly doubt that. You nor your grandad don't drive the truck. It's that obvious to see

[glacial halo]

Ok whatever you say

[formal minnow]

If it is it wont be hard to take a video saying our names

Only time its acceptable to post pics of others trucks is if theyre in this channel and u spot them

Imo

As ive done that myself a few times with rowan and thedutchdriver

[summer valve]

Where's the truck on this (#irl-trucking message). All I see is your friend on the phone while driving and your van, which isn't a truck

[formal minnow]

It was in phone mount

[summer valve]

Clearly isn't

[formal minnow]

And im currently working on becoming trucker so 🤷‍♂️ dont know why ud complain

Rowan did the same noone complained either if it wasnt allowed admins wouldve stopped me posting over a year ago

Same with him

[summer valve]

Because this is real life trucking, not real life vanning.

[glacial halo]

Ok no worries but you have to wait!

[lean oracle]

Looks like that spot where it’s bit bigger might be supports or such for the landing gear?

[magic girder]

@proper elbow

What have you done to that poor Scania

Had some extra time, gave the truck a nice bath

[proper elbow]

Nah it's randomly throughout the trailer

There's no pattern at all

[proper elbow]

Where's that??

[magic girder]

Drachten

[proper elbow]

Bruh

You see any number on the license plate perhaps?

[magic girder]

No, to many vans parked infront of it

[proper elbow]

Perhaps I'll make it back to the company tomorrow and I'll check on the computer

[magic girder]

Its sold to Boonstra Schadevoertuigen

Has damage on the passenger side A pilar and front

[proper elbow]

Shattered glass also?

[magic girder]

Yes

[proper elbow]

Oooooh

[magic girder]

Side window looks okay, front window is damaged

[proper elbow]

I know that one

I have a picture from when I saw it in geesteren

[magic girder]

Its not for sale on thier site yet

[proper elbow]

There it is

[magic girder]

Yes thats it

[proper elbow]

Headbutted a tankwagon in zaandam

Maybe for the best

[lean oracle]

Lol

[proper elbow]

Nasty truck and damage allround

[lean oracle]

Nrew window and it be back on the road it appears

[proper elbow]

Doubt it

[magic girder]

A pillar is bent and door

[proper elbow]

Can't think why they'd bring it all the way to drachten

[lean oracle]

Tbf depending on it might be able to fix new door and only a pilar, all they care weld a metal beam in it and cover it call it good

[proper elbow]

Must be a cheap company to fix

[magic girder]

They buy and sell a lot of vehicles, from everywhere

[proper elbow]

There was this 4 series a while back who had a critical leak on its last day, driver went to scania and they said they had to fix but obviously you ain't gonna fix it on its last day so the boss literally said to the driver if they ain't let you leave drive through their gate it's cheaper than the repair costs

So I doubt he's gonna spend money on that one at all.

[lean oracle]

Lmao

[magic girder]

If the A pillar is bent it can also have bent the roof, front behind the grill etc, damage can look minor, but can be huge underneed

[proper elbow]

Spend a night with that dude in cochem a while back when I still had the 77btp

[lean oracle]

Definetly true

[lean oracle]

But on its last day whyu not leave it there tell the shop to give a replacement vehicle or just call the guy a cab get his stuff out and leave it at the shop as their problem

[proper elbow]

That was at a scania, they sold it to some auctioneer or sum

[lean oracle]

?

Why didnt they tell him to leave

Instead of drive out

If it was critical

[proper elbow]

Leave how

[lean oracle]

Idk u said the boss said if they didnt let him drive off the lot to wrecvk their fence

[proper elbow]

Scania policy or something doesn't allow them to let someone leave with a broken vehicle

Law perhaps but idk

They just said we can't let you leave with this truck in this state

[formal minnow]

what was even leaking on it

[proper elbow]

Not a clue

Probably more a case of what wasn't leaking but I wouldn't know

[formal minnow]

[proper elbow]

Rumor has it it's spirit lives on in the form of the wheel rings on a different 4 series they still use

[lean oracle]

I mean yeah whatevers good on it id take off too

[proper elbow]

They put it on pukkie

Tweety's big sister

[lean oracle]

Ah

[proper elbow]

One of those so called sky trucks

[restive shoal]

i don't see it.

Somewhere in the marked area

Hope that helps

Boredom

[formal minnow]

[raven gate]

@proper elbow you know who drives the 80 btp 4 for wessels?

Driver was kinda a pain tbh💀

[proper elbow]

Yes

[proper elbow]

How come

[proper elbow]

Speak of the devil

[raven gate]

He came to deliver something for texel

And i asked if he had been upstairs yet yo the planning

And he just said

nee haal dat ding er gwn uit

Man did not feel like walking the stairs

[raven gate]

Hahaha yh it was exactly that truck and trailer kek

[lean oracle]

@restive shoal did ya find the plane yet?

[restive shoal]

yes i did on different pc

[lean oracle]

Hehe

[silk zephyr]

[turbid latch]

Problem

Tyre go sssssss

[proper elbow]

That's the right way to do it

Especially when it's 1 pallet or a colli why bother going all the way to the office, register etc etc

Few weeks back I had to unload 1 stack of 15 empty euro pallets, and they told me register via phone, then come to office, then wait, then on the scales, then unload and scales again, and then sign out at the office again

So I called the my planner and he said just leave already

[proper elbow]

He's old

Not far from retirement

[proper elbow]

The legendary trailer 59

[restive shoal]

sometimes its needed cuz its something important or expensive. maybe its to prevent theft

[proper elbow]

With 1 whole axle

[formal minnow]

Nah

Thats bs

I unload u sign

If i go to office or not

As soon as u pick it off my van its no longer my responsibility

[raven gate]

Tbh its a jice trailer

Looked fine for its age

[raven gate]

Yh my company has issued some New stuff for delivering collis or pallets so

[restive shoal]

Sadly for you its your responsibility until I sign the cmr

[turbid latch]

Not dirty at all

Cant even wash it because some fool drove into our washer

[polar ruin]

It's mint

[summer valve]

Why did you drive into the washer?

[proper elbow]

No it's not

[raven gate]

Well it looks ok💀

[proper elbow]

It's the oldest one in the fleet

[raven gate]

Well yh ok but still

[proper elbow]

The liftgate takes 3-5 business days to close

[turbid latch]

https://tenor.com/view/clarkson-jeremy-clarkson-top-gear-gif-19275418

[proper elbow]

This makes me sad

[turbid latch]

Cant you pass them

[pseudo hull]

My driving school truck

[restive shoal]

how are you going to pass them?

[turbid latch]

Here we just put the speed up to 83 and start overtaking

[mystic dragon]

how to make personalized trips?

[turbid latch]

But then again western Europe is a lot more stricter on that probably

[restive shoal]

ask your boss

[restive shoal]

but legos is on the left lane, and he can't move another lane to the left

[turbid latch]

Oh nvm i didnt realize that

[proper elbow]

Say again??

[restive shoal]

i've seen worse

[polar ruin]

It's really not bad compared to our trailer 61

[restive shoal]

does that thing even drive then?

[lean oracle]

Flashers so other drivers know there’s a special driver there 😂

[turbid latch]

This looks very modern

[raven gate]

This is just drivers fault

Curtain aint tight enough

[proper elbow]

It's as tight as it goes

[shadow patio]

Should see some of these truck drivers i gotta help at times at amazon 🤣

[pseudo hull]

hahaha

[polar ruin]

It does a lot, it's driving 1,6 million Kms in its life. It's a special made city trailer for the cranes.

It's a Pacton from 2003 but it's finally getting replaced this or next year

And then it got put on the news with a new tail lift mot sticker next to the rotten through hole😂

[formal minnow]

wtf happened there

[polar ruin]

Car rolled over, driver lost consciousness

Our driver didn't have anything to do with the accident

[formal minnow]

ah

[magic girder]

Thats not a rotten through hole, that a water drain that formed it self over the years

[lean oracle]

@restive shoal find the helicopter

[restive shoal]

Just give me the low cab daf

[restive shoal]

#irl-media for that

[pale inlet]

sorry

i am a bit new here

and thank you for the Tipp

[lean oracle]

Yeah clean one

[formal minnow]

wich one u drive

🤔

[restive shoal]

he drives the helicopter

[raven gate]

ah yh i thought why the curtains where so bad

still 1 axle trailers drive pretty nice

[magic girder]

Wait what, how can a vehicle be 7.5 meters high, its at a entrance for electric vehicle charging

[formal minnow]

Probably if someone wants to drive trough it even tho not allowed with oversize cargo because pjotr decided to take his break at the entrance of parking lot

[lean oracle]

To show it probably if some oversized pull in said gas station and wanna park there or such or that is the only way past to the parking

But probably for the vehicles on the right that are oversized and wide that they go over the guardrail that they know the roof top is 7.5 m

[formal minnow]

if theyre that wide they aint stopping on a rest stop lol

they try to avoid taking breaks they will either go directly 0 stops or if they stop they have a designated area off highway where they can fit and turn around

as they will not fit in rest stops usually

[lean oracle]

Altough yes those big ass transports are definetly bound to stops so maybe not while driving theyre not but after 9hrs theyre still required to so they might just pass trough it, signs probably are as a precaution

[magic girder]

Its a electric vehicle parking only for normal cars

[magic girder]

This is not width, this is height

[formal minnow]

Yes i know

but because he said if they wanna park there and are wide and high

[magic girder]

Yea, but the sign is on the side for the electric charging spot which also has a 4 ton limit

[formal minnow]

yep

[lean oracle]

Yes and if u read what i said, probz for wide loads coming to the right of it passing but might go over the guardrail with their cargo, so they know what the height is to consider, if a turbine part or smth comes trough for instance

Also if u look the 4 ton sign is angled for when you go in yet the 7.5 m isn’t and is just in the center of guardrail to basically notify both sides

[magic girder]

If it was a load that was that wide, it would not even fit through the entrance of this parking lot, its a pretty narrow one

[raven gate]

thats sem boots daf

lives in the village next to me

always on saturday spending the entire day washing that thing

every wheelnut every tire all clean kek

[raven gate]

not even that nice tbh

low cab sucks when you have to sleep in them

[lean oracle]

Why would it suck, yeah u cant stand up in it but i mean your only sleeping in it not spending days in it parked lol

[formal minnow]

less storage

but most of those container drivers dont even sleep in them

[floral coral]

try changing while crouched for a month and then tell me its still good lol

or climbing of the engine tunnel everytime you want to grab something or go to/get out of bed

no thanks lol

[lean oracle]

Even with the low roofs u can still sit on the bed and change right?

With some head room

[floral coral]

sit on the bed maybe but standing I dont think so

[formal minnow]

Who even stands up to get dressed?

also if u wanna stand up go out of your cab get fresh air

[floral coral]

it's scary outside though

[formal minnow]

Booohoo

[lean oracle]

True but u dont really gotta stand tough u go to bed and wake up get dressed and drive off lol

[floral coral]

fair, but I wanna be able to stand if I have a sleeper cab

[lean oracle]

Mhm

[raven gate]

he sleeps in it every day

atleast the truck is never at home

[formal minnow]

just cuz truck isnt at home dont mean he sleep in it

[raven gate]

unless he goes to a hotel every night which i doubt probaly yes

his dad has in iveco

thats really nicee

[formal minnow]

or he just parks truck somewhere vs at home 🤷‍♂️

[restive shoal]

better then the scania in front of it

[raven gate]

yh but still where would you sleep then

[formal minnow]

at home????

[lean oracle]

Parking ur truck and trailer in residential is hard, most park it on a industrial lot or a secure site and drive home with acr bicycle whatever every nightr

[raven gate]

they always park there truck at home always

since they live in a industrial terrian

[raven gate]

i know im not stupid my dad does it always

[lean oracle]

Never said u are but u implying it makes me think it is cause what u said before make not sense lol

[raven gate]

i never make sense kek

[lean oracle]

True

[formal minnow]

okay doesnt mean they aint sleeping at home

just cuz they dont park

chances he runs out of hours daily as he tries to maximise the amount of containers and just parks as close as possible exists too yk

[raven gate]

yh i guess fair

[polar ruin]

yea very very true actually

[elder roost]

Rust is just free weight reduction. Change my mind

[formal minnow]

[lucid birch]

Woahhhh

Look at this!!!

We had a photographer at one of our projects.

[turbid latch]

I think theres a man

Inside a MAN

[daring sail]

Wow

https://tenor.com/view/oppenheimer-smoking-smoke-hug-gif-12408171464121280382

[lean oracle]

Nice face reveal

[fleet halo]

MAN are disgusting accept the brand new ones they just released.

[summer valve]

No, I won't accept the brand new ones they just released

[fleet halo]

i do hate the the old ones

MAN are starting to up there game

[turbid latch]

Western European Scanias

[restive shoal]

you're the left one

[summer valve]

Yep. OXH-521

[turbid latch]

I dont recall having the trailer look like this before winter..

[floral coral]

very cool

[floral coral]

whats the difference between eastern scania's?

[summer valve]

One says Scania, the other says MAN

[lean oracle]

Why u got adr plates, u only carry postage right?

[polar ruin]

I mean it is in this case, doesn't affect the structural integrity

[summer valve]

Because I carry ADR

[lean oracle]

Ah so u get like pallets too with u or something? Besides the mail shit

[summer valve]

I transport only pallets. I don't transport letters or magazines

[lean oracle]

Ah, i tought u like carried postage n shit

Cuz the post on it but didnt think ud carry just the pallet cargo type shit

[summer valve]

I drive for posti, yes, but not for the post division of Posti

[restive shoal]

dhl and postnl deliver packages as well postnl sometimes has adr

[lean oracle]

Ik theres diff department that do like bulk cargo as in pallets, just idk always assumed thats what natalie did for some reason

[lean oracle]

Also.... NOOB

[turbid latch]

I love spring

Start the day off with no snow and lots of sun and now this

[summer valve]

[turbid latch]

Yeah have fun driving back

Totally didnt witness like 2 cars driving straight into a ditch on the motorway

[summer valve]

Totally didn't overtake a cop while heading to Tampere

[turbid latch]

Based

A lot of people are just foolish in conditions like this

[summer valve]

They were going 50

[turbid latch]

Some cars did like 120 past me though

Insanity

I did 75 at max

Finally calm though

[lean oracle]

Better than rain

[turbid latch]

No nononono

[summer valve]

Rain is way better tbh

[formal minnow]

Meanwhile here 20 degrees soon

[lean oracle]

Nah id rather have snow than rain]

U dont become super wet if your passing trough it and its less annoying

[summer valve]

Except, everything you just said there is wrong

[turbid latch]

... the washer is broken again

Doesnt spray anything this time

[lean oracle]

I been in snow storms and didnt, only thing was my bottom pants shoes as i was in sneakers and jeans in 30cm snow instead of boots but yeah

[summer valve]

Go to a snowstorm at 0/-1°c weather. Then say that you don't get super wet and that it's less annoying

[lean oracle]

Been in -30 was cold cuz wind but i didnt get soaking wet lol

[turbid latch]

This is genuinely horrible

[lean oracle]

What is?

[turbid latch]

The snowstorm

The wipers are all frozen

[lean oracle]

Lol

[turbid latch]

But coming home at night after a day like that is rewarding

Bed feels insanely comfy now

[summer valve]

Facts. Rain would be so much more better

[turbid latch]

[lean oracle]

In that point of freezing stuff on car yes, and for sleeping its better but in the end i like the snow more than rain]

[summer valve]

Snow during winter is alright. It's not winter anymore so rain over snow anyday

[lean oracle]

I mean you up north all way right, spring means snow then still haha , I’m planning to go next April depending how new job goes/ allows it to have snow fun with the snowmobiles n all

[summer valve]

Spring in North = snow melts, flowers will bloom and trees will become green once again

[lean oracle]

So what is it now then season wise

As there still snow n all

[summer valve]

Spring

[proper elbow]

Finally

Driving again

[serene pine]

Only 122k ? Its a brand new truck

[proper elbow]

2022

December or sum

[calm parrot]

It snowed

[proper elbow]

Bruh

Should've stayed sick at home

Broken roller wheel prevents th ramp from fully rolling out

[polar ruin]

You can't "force" it out by holding the joystick to roll out a bit longer?

[turbid latch]

Something huge flew from a van towards my truck yet somehow no damage anywhere

Just a huge BANG

[turbid latch]

Cant wait for a tyre to blow up now

[lucid birch]

First work day after a week vacation guess what

Not a bridge this time

[lean oracle]

Haha

[restive shoal]

can you not have railway crossings or bridges for once?

[lean oracle]

He attracts them

[lucid birch]

God hates me he gives me every bridge and railway crossing and every red light

[restive shoal]

giving you a office job probs won't work. but you don't have red lights bridges and railway crossings anymore

[lucid birch]

I probably break my fingers by typing

Or break my back from not being able sit still on a chair and falling off.

[elder roost]

@summer valve How much of what ADR cargo?

^^

[summer valve]

Some acid. Don't remember how much

[magic girder]

@proper elbow

Its sold already

[lean oracle]

Duh, perfect for Africa or smth where they call that cosmetic damage and fix it with some rebar and bondo

[magic girder]

Or east europe

[lean oracle]

Eh i thikn there they actually still require shit tough u might get away with it likle broken but they still be somewhat strict

[magic girder]

Its cheaper to fix it there than here

They also have stuff like this for sale

[teal carbon]

Look responds well to others

[turbid latch]

Estonia is more strict on that than Finland for example

[summer valve]

What?

[formal minnow]

Thats just a window thats broken it seems

[magic girder]

Roof is dented, door is mangled, the pannel between the door and side locker is mangled

[turbid latch]

Poor Scania

[magic girder]

A pillar is bent, so underneed there is more damage than you can see

[formal minnow]

ah bit hard to see igeuss

[magic girder]

If you can zoom in on the pics you can see it

[teal carbon]

I message to you and you didn't answer me

[summer valve]

If you sent me a direct message, I don't get any notifications from people who aren't my friends. So that might explain it

[teal carbon]

Well, now you know and see what I message to you

[turbid latch]

Cold

Boss told me i can use red interior lights if i want, so time to get creative tomorrow

[magic girder]

How bright do you want to go?

[turbid latch]

Yes

[magic girder]

Get a 24v foglight for a trailer, that will do it

Or a combo rear and brake light, so you can switch

Like this

[turbid latch]

Red

Mm

[magic girder]

Amd bright, had a foglift for 4 years in the cab, worked like a charm

[turbid latch]

Ill probably go ask Scania what they have

Their shop is downstairs of our office kek

[magic girder]

Good idea, hope you can find something you like

[lean oracle]

Ask for some stickers

And then send them to me :)

[turbid latch]

Wow

I am the biggest scania fanboy here

Ill take them all

[magic girder]

If its a 0, 1, 2, or 3 serie i take it every time, those are the best,

[magic girder]

@turbid latch

[formal minnow]

what they have? they have a need to upcharge u

[turbid latch]

Not really

I can just go immediately check what i want to buy

And not wait 1-2 weeks for something to arrive as a delivery

[calm parrot]

When can the snow stop?

[restive shoal]

when you stop complaining

[calm parrot]

Never

Its in my nature as a swede to always complain about the weather

[proper elbow]

F

[summer valve]

Just get a RGB strip from Biltema for like 10€. Does the job really well

[turbid latch]

Does Motonet have those

Dont have a Biltema here nearby

[summer valve]

They have RGB lights but Idk if they work via a wallplug or USB

[turbid latch]

Wack
