[turbid latch]

I just realized that this factory is the perfect place for doing parkour

And now i lowkey wanna do that

[formal minnow]

do it

break your back

sue company

Get boeing'd

[turbid latch]

well i am a noob so i just like to hang by the ladders

opens up the body and feels less stiff

[formal minnow]

i bet it does

aslong as u can keep urself hanging

[turbid latch]

A minute is what i can do rn

[formal minnow]

must be nice to have ur spine decompress

[turbid latch]

After 4 hours of sitting it does really get stiff

[formal minnow]

my back is bad once i sit in my van it gets worse

[turbid latch]

and ill never understand drivers who sit so that their head slouches forward

[formal minnow]

cant move my seat back enough

to angle my backrest enough

• get more legroom

lol

[turbid latch]

I feel like this might annoy Natalie

[formal minnow]

all the way back hah?

[turbid latch]

Seat adjusted as high as it goes and its somewhat forward

And bouncy

[formal minnow]

mine is super bouncy too

if i speed over speedbumps

[turbid latch]

RIP suspension

[formal minnow]

idk but it wont surprise me if my rear came off ground on some

but hard to tell as i cant see

flying trough the cab

[ivory patrol]

I always let the air out. I dont like using it

[silk zephyr]

Pain

[summer valve]

Nah. It doesn't affect me in anyway

[turbid latch]

Cap cap

[summer valve]

Why would it annoy me if you drive like a grandma?

[turbid latch]

Wow

Rude

[summer valve]

You:

[turbid latch]

Youre the one going under the speed limit

Smh

[summer valve]

I'm driving 80kmh. It's not under the speed limit

I could drive 90 but why would I do that

[restive shoal]

less money for the boss

[turbid latch]

77 smh

Absolute grandma

[restive shoal]

should drive 75

[turbid latch]

Ye

83 is perfect

[summer valve]

80gps

[summer valve]

More money for me

[turbid latch]

Few euros more

Driving in Estonia is more fun

[summer valve]

And lower risk of getting ticket

[turbid latch]

How would you get a fine though

[lucid birch]

Are we really complaining about someone driving 77?

[blissful locust]

b

[turbid latch]

No?

[magic girder]

Parked 5 minutes from my delivery

[turbid latch]

Ever heard of banter?

[blissful locust]

navigation systems have trip meter now?

[magic girder]

Yes, and this one is atleast 8 years old

[blissful locust]

damn

[lean oracle]

truck speedos same as cops are actually clocked to display the actual speed on the speedo being the same as actual speed

[summer valve]

Camera on a downhill

[ivory patrol]

Waze: Nuh uh

[turbid latch]

Yeah just dont speed into the camera

I always brake when the tacho starts complaining too so the police cannot see it so

Never had a problem regarding speeds

[summer valve]

I don't use none of that crap. Google maps

[ivory patrol]

L

[summer valve]

I don't have to brake

[turbid latch]

Yeah not enough weight

[summer valve]

Nah, I just don't want to support the country that waze is from in anyway possible

[formal minnow]

I cant

[summer valve]

Or hear me out, the truck brakes automatically

[turbid latch]

Bit posh that

[magic girder]

If you can go 90 and someone drives 77 in front of you, and overtaking os not allowed, itd really annoying to drive behind that person

[ivory patrol]

yeah, why not

[nimble dust]

Driving 77 should be a criminal offence

[summer valve]

Luckily, I drive 80kmh

[magic girder]

In belgium you can do 90, and like today, i drove a lot 90, as that way i could make it just 5 minutes from my drop off with 10 mimutes of driving time left, if your stuck behind some one doing 77, thats not too fun

[fleet basin]

I drive 80max also

[magic girder]

I drive a lot 83, as 80 is the limit in Netherlands, but sometimes i drive 90

[restive shoal]

have cars drive 80 on their speedometer that is fun, drove behind a truck last week in a car had to drive ''95 kmh'' to keep the same pace

[fleet basin]

All trucka driving for neste are limited to 80 and arent allowed to drive over it

[magic girder]

And the truck drives 90, so you have a 5 km/h difference in your speedo

[restive shoal]

nope drove 85, car was a 06 corolla

[magic girder]

Than you have a 10 km/h difference

[turbid latch]

Glad Anora does not limit anything

My truck does 85 according to speedo but the real speed is 82

[blissful locust]

because of adr?

[magic girder]

Old tires, mine does 91 when speed says 90

[turbid latch]

ADR does not restrict it

Neste is just a strict company

[turbid latch]

its 25k driven

Probably the trailer

[magic girder]

Then you need to get the tacho calibrated

[magic girder]

Trailer does not affect speedo

[turbid latch]

Sadge more tacho crap

[magic girder]

Tacho and speedo are calibrated and measured on the transmission

[turbid latch]

My tacho says i am speeding when i exceed 88

Real speed 85

[lean oracle]

my instructor said theyre eiked the speedos on trucks same as cop cars, so if it says 80 u doing 80

[magic girder]

The truck is, but normal cars are not, so if the truck drive 90, speedo and gps, and your car does 95 on speedo to keep up with that truxk, the car reads 5 km/h off from the actuall speed

[lean oracle]

yeah ik but tought we were talking truck for sec anyways it depends cars, some its 3km h and usually over 120 its bigger difference

had a work van 5overal and anything over 110 it would jump more

[magic girder]

But a truck can also have different speed than tacho says, for like example you get a new truck with new tires, at first 90 is 90, over time you will end up doing around 87 to 88, while speedo says 90 as your tire wear, and if you then recalibrate the truck with those old worn tires, and then put on new tires afterwards, you could do 92 to 93 when speedo says 90

[fleet basin]

Because neste wants so. We get paid bonuses based on how we drive. And it has nothing to do with economical driving. Speeding (going over 80), hard brakeing, hard turns, etc. lowers your score.

[blissful locust]

damn

[fleet basin]

So we stand on brake pedal on downhills so we dont go over

[turbid latch]

Neste is that strict???

[fleet basin]

Yep

[turbid latch]

God now i dont even want to know what Finavia would want

Anora drivers keeo winning

[magic girder]

We are also scored on driving, but they don't look at speed, but things like accelerating, braking, engine brake use, idle time, but we don't get a bonus, but for people that peform really bad will be send on a driving course to improve thier driving style

[fleet basin]

And in truking companys avarage score drops below 97points the whole company doesnt get paid bonuses so kinda puts pressure on all drivers to drive well

[magic girder]

My score is between 9 to 9.5

[summer valve]

I drive 80kmh on cruise cuz I don't see any reasons to go faster than that

[magic girder]

Average company score is 8.2

[turbid latch]

Wait wait wait

@fleet basin Does that only apply to trucks with Neste logos on them

Or all fuel trucks

[fleet basin]

Neste only

[turbid latch]

Okay good

Explains why Teboil trucks can go 85

[calm parrot]

Atleast my boss can take pics

[fleet basin]

Most fuel trucks are limited to 80 but can go over it in downhills

[rugged cape]

I did 120 before I braked and instantly the police passed me just outside Liege

Didn't get stopped though 😀

[rugged cape]

But Google owns Waze and you're using google maps?

[summer valve]

But it's not being developed by Google

[vivid crystal]

I ain't sure, I only got my one a few months ago

[blissful locust]

good ones too

[magic girder]

No, they don't

[magic girder]

Guess my total vehicle weight

And the load weight, 14 pallets loaded

[restive shoal]

15 ton load, and 25-30 ton total weight

[formal minnow]

35 ton

[magic girder]

No, both wrong

[restive shoal]

less?

[magic girder]

Well, do a guess, but there is a reason there are only 14 pallets

[blissful locust]

45 ton

[magic girder]

No

[blissful locust]

am i close

[magic girder]

Yes

You are

[blissful locust]

epico

[lean oracle]

47235

[magic girder]

You are close

[lean oracle]

More?

50 tons?

[magic girder]

A little more, but less than 50

[lean oracle]

48490

[magic girder]

Well, you got it

Only 10 kg off

Scale had me on 48500 exaclty

[lean oracle]

Owhhhh

[magic girder]

Each pallet weights 2050 kg

[formal minnow]

[lean oracle]

Least y got electric jack

[magic girder]

Loaded via the side

[lean oracle]

Ah forklifts nice

Minimum effort for you besides tying it sown

[magic girder]

And opening the curtains and getting all the boards out

[formal minnow]

Ur next to a boat, i am on a boat

In the workshop cuz why not

[vast vessel]

Hello

[ivory patrol]

Do you drive the next gen daf

[magic girder]

No, older gen

[ivory patrol]

Okay

[simple merlin]

That's a nice truck is it company or you own it and do you know like model it is? It is really nice looking

[turbid latch]

It's a Scania Super R560 8x2

Owned by my employer

[regal comet]

they think they are some sort of super trucker

[lean oracle]

cause there he isnt allowed to overtake so following the rules? and where it is allowed hes probz doing left lane when possible

[restive shoal]

wasn't it a mercedes van? cuz that might have been capri then

[magic girder]

Could be the truck of another driver

[lean oracle]

Bruh it’s Germany if y don’t wanna break traffic rules it’s there as a truck driver, second why are you surprised he follows the rules? Stays behind another truck and doesn’t overtake when not legal? Nothing weird about that. Once it is legal I bet you a 100% the guy overtook the other truck

[restive shoal]

i think what dutchdriver said makes most sense with the info you gave us

[lean oracle]

are you stupid? if theres a ban on overtaking for trucks he isnt allowed to can be fined if he does, hes following the rules, where the ban is lifted he will be overtaking

so if someones plate says fast car cuz they drive a lambo in your eyes it must mean that they always speeding and pushing the car to its limits

you said when u overtook it was ILLEGAL for the truck to overtake, so it makes sense for him not to as otherwise hell be getting fined by police if caught

[restive shoal]

ladies why can't you accept this #irl-trucking message

[lean oracle]

u minsinterperted the sticker then

[restive shoal]

hold on, was said interaction close to a exit?

[turbid latch]

Blud looks like a grandma when turning 30

[summer valve]

[ivory patrol]

Nuh uh, 19-6 is good enough

[turbid latch]

[ancient onyx]

Welcome in Belgium

[summer valve]

[turbid latch]

Disgusting

[ivory patrol]

Almost best pay

[turbid latch]

[summer valve]

Nah. It was perfection

[turbid latch]

Aight ill contact your boss

[ivory patrol]

[summer valve]

I'll make your boss order you to do 21.30-10.00 shifts

[turbid latch]

[summer valve]

Yes it is

[turbid latch]

Anora would say nuh uh

[ivory patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/thriller-michael-jackson-eating-popcorn-watching-gif-5577709

[turbid latch]

How

Theyre the ones responsible for these working times smh

[summer valve]

I'll get it past anora

[turbid latch]

Sure

[bleak wind]

Unload please

[turbid latch]

Gotta love when mechanical problems just randomly come all at the same time

Right side blinkers do not work, power steering is not working when steering right and now the grounding socket for the trailer is not working correctly

https://tenor.com/view/i'm-dead-merry-go-round-i'm-dead-dead-girl-gif-12794513672052994710

[magic girder]

Still in NL

[frosty hearth]

Hsv?

[turbid latch]

Ye

[magic girder]

Good morning,

[bleak wind]

Free diesel.

[ancient onyx]

I know but just for when you enter

[magic girder]

Waiting for a unloading bay

[magic girder]

Still waiting

My 3 o'clock loading time in Kallo i won't make for today

[lucid birch]

Bro ive been sitting in this classroom since 7;45

Its now 12;00

Im bored, annoyed

And i want to go home

I hate code 95 and vca

[formal minnow]

[restive shoal]

you would rather wait for a bridge or railway crossing?

[lucid birch]

Yes

[magic girder]

I'm also bored waiting to unload, still no unloading bay

[rose rose]

Does someone know what I need if I want to drive for example in Sweden, Norge or Netherlands trucks 25.25m? Just CE category or I need to have something more?

[blissful locust]

probably LZV certificate too in netherlands

[magic girder]

In the Netherlands you need to have your CE for atleast 5 years, and after that you need to get a permit, and for that you need to take a driving test

[lean oracle]

Unless country he’s based out has different rules and shit but to get to us u needda go to Germany and they don’t allow Lzv right?

[rose rose]

Do you know if I can go to the test if I am foreign citizen, because I will drive it only in NL if you understand..

I need it to collect goods around NL and drive it to warehouse where we will load it to other trucks

[turbid latch]

Thankfully not

[summer valve]

Just get one of these for Finland and hire someone who knows how to drive them

[rose rose]

I don’t think that we can load this one from Finland to Croatia in a month hahaha

[restive shoal]

don't hire timstim

[turbid latch]

Bit too many axles

[rose rose]

Can u drive it with CE or you need something extra?

[turbid latch]

You just need CE

[summer valve]

CE is enough. And skill to drive it

[turbid latch]

Its up to the company to give you the necessary training

Or well "necessary"

[summer valve]

I got no training

[turbid latch]

That is what he mean

Ok Thanks, do you maybe know situation in Sweeden or Norway?

[lucid birch]

Vca done

I somehow now know how to be work safely

With all safety protocols in head 😂

[summer valve]

Afaik, CE is only required for the 25.25m trucks in Sweden and Norway

[proper elbow]

Kolega with smol trailer came loading aswell

So we do a little trolling

[lean oracle]

I mean nope as they only allow Dutch company’s for instance to do it due to rules here, so unless u drive a Dutch truck for a Dutch combo they won’t allow it

[lean oracle]

Turned his heat on? Nice

[magic girder]

Loading company closes at 4, and arrived at 4.30, tomorrow at 6 i can load

[magic girder]

Place could be worse tho

[lean oracle]

`all u need is a fishing rod and some bait

[bleak wind]

Finish.

[magic girder]

If i had a rod i would give it a try and see what i could catch, there are lots of ponds round here

[blissful locust]

of which you will probably forget 2/3rd of

[blissful locust]

@jade tangle i sense another van 🤔

[bleak wind]

Yes

[blissful locust]

well this is truck channel

[lean oracle]

should get one of those folding ones as u always overnight at places with water oto as u visit the nicer places to park up

[magic girder]

I have a seat, so i might take that an just relax a little at the water later on

[lean oracle]

swim trunks?

then again im sure the white plates have done worse than if u where to go in just ur boxers xd

[magic girder]

A small seat i can sit on next to the truck, might take that go the water and just gona sit there

[rugged cape]

Just CE

[rugged cape]

Is it legal

[lean oracle]

yes thats legal why wouldnt it?

[rugged cape]

Max 10h working at night

[lean oracle]

yes but working at night is from 12till 5

if not mistaken so he only worked 5hrs of night

the other 6 was daytime

some places trough the union or whatever it be 10to 5 but that still isnt 10h

there is rules of how much u can work a week/month night hrs but that also depends on the countries

if u do it as trucker tough u gotta folow them for the country u drive in as it might be different

[blissful locust]

6

[lean oracle]

As said it depends

In trucking here it’s 12-5

And isn’t considered night shift if it’s under a hr

[blissful locust]

but night ends at 5:59 🤔

[lean oracle]

So if u start 4.45 it’s 15min and isn’t considered night so regular pay

[lean oracle]

It depends per country and per union

[blissful locust]

damn

[lean oracle]

My current employer it’s 10-5 but when I go truck it’s 12-5

[formal minnow]

Same in netherlands

but need 5 years of ce

[summer valve]

#irl-trucking message

[formal minnow]

and i think u could get it @rose roseas ive seen polish with lzv

driving for wolter koops

Woop

Yes

but they cant drive them in poland im pretty sure

germany they can under certain circumstances if i recall

yeah lzv

but im pretty sure its only netherlands belgium and scandinavian countries that use em

[lean oracle]

yes germany is like special convoy but just long trailers mostly not lzv

[formal minnow]

i think its tolerated to pass trough germany along border area

[lean oracle]

only "lzv" they got is if its a front trailer that holds cargo and rear one that attached to it

[formal minnow]

but its not allowed to drive in the country

[lean oracle]

probz but only on highways and certain area

[lucid birch]

germany lzv are allowed

only max 44 tons

[formal minnow]

Ah see that was it

only funfair + special transport

[lucid birch]

So u drive for kfc?

[formal minnow]

thats what happend to rowan

No

[lucid birch]

Euser

idfk

all i know the orderpickers are from havi

but havi hires euser to do the delivery work

i worked for havi 😄

[formal minnow]

Isnt that second pic from when u and i met at mcdonalds

xD

when u were at home

[lean oracle]

technically u cant post these, as u never drove those, u got no ce just c

[formal minnow]

i mean he drove the right one for sure

and probably drove it with trailer in yard etc

[lean oracle]

[lucid birch]

second pic is also C?

[formal minnow]

[lean oracle]

second has a trailer behind over 750kg making it ce?

[lucid birch]

Ya but u can decouple the trailer?

and then its a C

[lean oracle]

but did u at kfc and then drive?

cuz at that config it wasnt u driving

[lucid birch]

thats a parking spot for our trailer

[summer valve]

You can do the same thing to a semi truck so

[lucid birch]

to leave it behind

[lean oracle]

btw would a ce truck when u take trailer of, like not the box n trailer, would it be classed as c as no trailer and just truck?

[lucid birch]

yes

[lean oracle]

so u where tandem driving rowan?

[lucid birch]

yes

i drove a lot with tandems on mcdonalds property

when public roads ended

i took over

parked the truck

[lean oracle]

i meant tandem as in two drivers on truck

[lucid birch]

no

[lean oracle]

as u cant drive ce but u got plenty of it so only time u coulda driven is without said trailer

[lucid birch]

wtf are u talking

[lean oracle]

ur pics are just trucks with trailers making ce

[formal minnow]

As soon as rowan got his license he did a bit of training and then drove off on his own

[lean oracle]

so where u with a codriver who drove those, and when the trailer be parked u drove?

[formal minnow]

thats when he was working at havi while learning

[lucid birch]

i can fully drive with a trailer i just dont have the license

so i drive them on private property

[formal minnow]

he didnt have his license yet when it was ce combis

😄

[lean oracle]

im sure u can not saying u cant, but legally n road u cant

[lucid birch]

yes so what i said it

the moment we left

public road

i took over

parked the trucks unloaded the mcdonalds or kfc

truck driver took over

and we went to the next one

[lean oracle]

so u where just codriver when wokring at mcdnalds mostly not the main driver?

[lucid birch]

yes i was a co driver for 1.5 years lol

then got my c and became a truck driver

[lean oracle]

no wonder they made u pay back lots, u didnt earn them shit

[lucid birch]

jeez what a toxicity

[lean oracle]

yeah but as c u just drove truck without any trailers or

[formal minnow]

he earned em for sure

[summer valve]

If you were to hit someone, insurance wouldn't have covered anything. And the property is open for public soooo

[lean oracle]

not toxic am just crious lol

[formal minnow]

but companys want their money back if u leave soon after getting it

as a "penalty" so to speak

[lucid birch]

yes and no

[formal minnow]

its all posted as private property

theres loopholes

[lean oracle]

most yards here the gate is open but theres a boom, so due to said boom even if it opens for anything without a button it makes it a closed property

[lucid birch]

i didnt have to pay back any working hours

[lean oracle]

just that doesnt count, but a boom does\

[lucid birch]

just the driving lessons etc

[formal minnow]

Thatd be weird and illegal too

[lucid birch]

how do you know thats "illigal"?

[formal minnow]

There’s different rules for commercial properties

[lucid birch]

can count as "lessons working hours"

[formal minnow]

Right but thats not what it was

[lucid birch]

i had 24hours driving then did my exam but failed for a stupid reason can't remember what the reason was but it was dumb.

[summer valve]

Imagine having to pay a company because of you leaving them

[lucid birch]

then did 8 extra hours 4x 2hours

and passed

[formal minnow]

Wasnt it someone who cut u off

like he tried to go infront on a merger

[lucid birch]

i signed a contract with them. i had no money to get my driver license so they paid for it.

if i stayed for 3-4years it was free did i leave early

[formal minnow]

even if u had the money

[lucid birch]

then i had to pay it back

[formal minnow]

why spend ur own when someone else can do

[lucid birch]

not for the amount of money they spend on you lol

[formal minnow]

after how long?

it depends on companies tbf

[lucid birch]

no one is gonna hire you for 1 year and pay 7-10k for CE

[formal minnow]

i mean

90% of that gets funded by government

[lucid birch]

u clearly dont know how the STL program works

[formal minnow]

Thats what they told me at one of their become a truckers day

[lucid birch]

if ur a truck driver in the netherlands and u fall under "cao transport" and u look at ur salary it almost always says "-6 euro soob"

so all truck drivers pay 6 euros per month of their salary to soob

all company's add another 6 euros per employee

then ur company isnt partnered with soob/stl

soob/stl is like FNV

its more then that.

sorry for the dutch tekst

😄

i drive C

on a tipper 10x8 truck

[lucid birch]

so all company's have this 😛

u probably also pay soob with that tax.

i dont drive with the CAO for truck drivers.

i fall under grond, infra etc.

look at this beauty

[rose rose]

Suit up for Restorant

[formal minnow]

The kurwa pierdolej outfit

[rose rose]

[rose rose]

[magic girder]

Thats a nice journey

[rose rose]

Yea, around 1350 km from Amsterdam, but tomorow i will be at home around 10 something Like that

[formal minnow]

[formal minnow]

[rose rose]

Yes, at night

[formal minnow]

And then u drive day i geuss

[rose rose]

It is nicer when u lay

[lean oracle]

fun part is its cuz he wasnt there ofr 3years, mine is only a year, but thye changed the rule this year what a other guy who also went for his license said is a company canot do that anymore cant force u to pay back but also not to stay due to them apying for your training and shit

[formal minnow]

i cant wait to be able to do this on my breaks / waiting

just gotta make sure i aint fall asleep

[formal minnow]

So if i start now they cant force me to stay after / pay back?

[lean oracle]

mine is

[lean oracle]

i mean u cannot take the training and once have it quit

[lean oracle]

but they cannot be like due to u having this training and it invested u have to pay it back or have to stay for x years

cant just get the training and once pass quit tough

[formal minnow]

Yeah

[lean oracle]

theres some ruling all the guy said to me was they cant uphold it to u to make u not quit or pay it back

[formal minnow]

u guys added more lights yet?

[lean oracle]

then again if ud do that its still cheaper than u paying it urself as no taxes

[formal minnow]

They can just hold ur salary

lol

[rose rose]

What do you mean by that?

[formal minnow]

i bought these rollup cookies i geuss at a gas station in luxemburg and damm were they cheap and are they good

[formal minnow]

https://tenor.com/bZhIP.gif

exterior lights etc

[rose rose]

Yea we put some but still not connected

[formal minnow]

haha

[rose rose]

Will be in a month we dont really Had time to go to electrican…

[lean oracle]

how, i havent started there yet havent worked a single minute for them yet theyve so far paid for my theory wich i passed and soon my c

[formal minnow]

Yes

but u have probably already signed a studycontract

that says u must work there for x amount

[rose rose]

We add some on sideskirt, and on back of the spoilers

[formal minnow]

u got pics?

i think when i get my license i might ask boss if i can add talmu / grill lights

and beacons

xD

[summer valve]

Meanwhile I paid everything that was needed out of my own pocket

[lean oracle]

yeah but cant u just rent a truck there drive a bit and then go exam, my buddy in sweden who haas his was like we can do that and then exam is just gfo there do that and such

[summer valve]

No. You need to have a license to rent a truck

[lean oracle]

but said buddy has

lol

but i mean once i have it after year depending on, my buddy can get me work i might move to sweden

cheaper to live there than here and nice nature n shit

[formal minnow]

nice

[frozen trout]

Yeah im pretty sure even in sweden you can't drive any kind of vehicle without having license for it, even rental ones

[frozen trout]

Dont know where your buddy has rented truck but sounds pretty illegal to me

[rose rose]

You can until police catch you, then u will probably get ban to drive for some time when u pass test

I had similar when i was 15 police catch me on motorbike

[frozen trout]

Clever

[rose rose]

I was went to Court and they give me idk something Like 6month ban driving

[formal minnow]

u were on a bike

how tf u get caught

🤣

[rose rose]

I didn’t have mirors hahaha

[formal minnow]

xd

[blissful locust]

well what can you legally drive anyway at 15

[formal minnow]

a bus

[blissful locust]

you dont drive it, you sit in it

[formal minnow]

[rose rose]

I stoped to greet my friend after i add 70cc kit to it, and without Any plastic on bike i was go to test riđe and policeman drives behind me with bike too

[formal minnow]

L

no narrow alleys nearby he dont fit?

if u got a illegal bike thats when u learn ur area

[rose rose]

Yea, i was drive truck illegal too

Yes i have but bike was off

And to start IT i need to get of IT and start IT by leaver on the side i dont know how to say IT

[summer valve]

Moped, microcar, tractor

[blissful locust]

kickstarter

[rose rose]

And that cop knows me Because he was from my area and i already run from him few times

Yea kickstarter

[blissful locust]

is it scooter or an actual motorcycle for scooter license

[rose rose]

After I got A1 category for 125cc but drove everything but 125 hahaha

It was 50cc and I was 14 when they catch me, I was illegally driving it

[blissful locust]

but is it a scooter

[rose rose]

Yes Yamaha aerox

[blissful locust]

damn i was wondering why you had to get off to kickstart

i've got peugeot kisbee rn but i will get rid of it asap when i have my own car

[lean oracle]

whyd u stop

here they get chased one bike path with a pole and they gone

[rose rose]

Because I just make it run and went to test ride

And see my friend

Stoped to light cigarette with him

And cop was right behind me

I didn’t see him

It was funny

[lean oracle]

run and hit switch, spinning the tire will do same as kickstarter , same if manual hold clutch put in 2nd push and dump clutch with ignition on and it starts

[rose rose]

Not on a scooter

[rugged cape]

Finally a well deserved wash

[blissful locust]

well the thing is, my e-start doesnt work

[rose rose]

Hahahahah something like that

[lean oracle]

no but ignition on push and if manual 2nd but auto moped i think u can still push start it so to say due to ye

[rose rose]

U can’t…

[blissful locust]

aint gonna try if my kickstart works

[lean oracle]

my ape is 2stroke manual i can jumpstart it by push but its a brick so kinda awkward and weights like 270

[rose rose]

But yea, after I drived bikes over 600cc without licence and they never catch me

[lean oracle]

also only had that issue once and i just called a coworker who was just being late to office so going home it was perfect so he could come along

duh no one gonna catch up to a crotch rocket

[rose rose]

I learn that I need to check twice what is behind me

[lean oracle]

heck especaily not here in the netherlands unless they fast if u gt no plate and know where u are u gone before they even realised it

[blissful locust]

even the audi's probably cant keep up

[lean oracle]

they can but just not in the citys

[blissful locust]

do they have 250 kmh limiter like every german car

[rose rose]

Can’t, if you have something serious

[lean oracle]

too much traffiuc to pass, to much side streets n shit

[formal minnow]

thats their max allowed in the fast intervention vehicles

in certain scenarios they can exceed

[lean oracle]

anything above 600cc on a rush hour time they wnt keep up, during the night/ you are screwed

[rose rose]

I had for few months r1, it can go 160kmh in 1st gear

[formal minnow]

mmm

not good for fuel

[lean oracle]

probnz doing that 160 stable for a hr burns less fuel than ur van doing it at 100

[rose rose]

Easily over 10l/100km

[formal minnow]

Aka tank empty

[lean oracle]

that aint bad if u doing 160km+ full throttle

one parking garage with multiple exits and less than 15tmin chase and helo aint on yet and u can be gone

bonus is motorcycle fits trough tiny gaps in parking garage like a exit door for people

[formal minnow]

If ur in a chase ur not gonna bother risking being caught by having to open a door

this aint america you know

[lean oracle]

thats why u do

cops aint as fast unless directly in city and they wont tackle or ram u off it here unless u done real nbad

[formal minnow]

Theyll usually have bikes aswell yk

theyll just push u into a wall gently but firmly

[rose rose]

Cops are not stupid

They won’t chase you

They will drive behind u slowly and catch you eventually when they can

[formal minnow]

Yea

[rose rose]

In Bosnia u can drive LKW with 15 years if you have enough to bribe cops

[rose rose]

Pitka in my language means that u are safe to drink it

Like pitka voda, water for drinking

[rose rose]

This drives backwards like regular ridgid

[summer valve]

Yes but no

[rose rose]

When u want for trailer to turn left u turn left

[rugged cape]

No

If you want rear trailer to go left you turn right

[lean oracle]

thats if u just gt a trailer behind but she has truck dolly trailer trailer

[rugged cape]

Yes

If you have just the trailer you turn right for the trailer to go right

[rose rose]

Same like this

[rugged cape]

What

[rose rose]

This have 2 turning points like ridgid

HCT have 3 points and that will be hard to push where you want

[summer valve]

This has 3 turning points

[frozen trout]

If you have dolly between the truck and trailer, you have to turn right then the dolly goes right, and the last trailer goes left

[rugged cape]

It has 3

[rugged cape]

If she turns left the dolly goes right and the link goes left and the rear trailer goes right

[rose rose]

Oh I see it now that she have dolly

[frozen trout]

Fixed

Look again

[rugged cape]

Good boy

Or girl idk

[frozen trout]

Noy

Boy

Ffs

Mobile keyboard = ass

[frozen trout]

Yes it's always complicated when you start explaining it

[rugged cape]

Forgot to fold out my mirrors 😂

The washing place was garbage, didn't clean properly

[rose rose]

That must be pain to push between something on ramp

But you can always help yourself by detaching one

[formal minnow]

Same here

Of all locations ive gone to so far only one did a good ish job and fast

But none of em clean the chassis properly

[daring sail]

Just handwash ur truck

[lean oracle]

come wahs it u nub

[rose rose]

[turbid latch]

From 03 till two at day time

[rugged cape]

Yeah

[rugged cape]

Different here

[lean oracle]

snd as i said it differs per country and union

a cleaner might not have the same as a trukcer or a office person

[rose rose]

I think that in general night driving is 22-05…

European regulation or something

I asked my boss to increase my hourly rate, now I don’t work 15, now I work 18 hours

[lean oracle]

lol

work more hrs for same amount

booo

[formal minnow]

No

Cant do it physically

[lean oracle]

skill issue

[daring sail]

Yeah

[lean oracle]

ollie shush u dead as always, cant come in here say yeah and dip

[daring sail]

If I can hand wash a car im sure you can hand wash a truck

[daring sail]

[lean oracle]

why dint. u come hand wash my ape

i saw that u nub

[daring sail]

too smoll

I dip now

[lean oracle]

its quite big tough if u look at it, its a tiny bit smaller than a toyota aygo

[daring sail]

Too smoll

[lean oracle]

am thinking of getting it repainted spend a grand and just get all plastics taken off get those repainted in the bedliner in one color and the rest in another one, for sure rust wont be a thing then and spray some on inside where sme rust be

[formal minnow]

U know its different

A sponge isnt heavy

A massive ass long broom ish

[rose rose]

mass (IVECO) ck

[lean oracle]

tf u talking about it aint, i have broom that has a long hose to it with water in it that goes 5floors high

and ive used to have one and id go 7high

[summer valve]

They're not heavy

[lean oracle]

that van of his is like 3m smth high and hes complaining bout a heavy broom 🤣

[formal minnow]

Not anymore been in a sprinter for ages

[formal minnow]

I know

But i cant hold / lift it

At all

With my shoulders being so bad

[summer valve]

Maybe you should look for a job in other profession then

[rose rose]

Flower transport is out 🌹

[formal minnow]

I mean i dont lift usually so

Pulling a palletjack for now is fine

Once kn truck i should be getting a ept

[summer valve]

Good luck changing a tire on the side of the road

[rose rose]

I never see Dutch driver changing tyre, they always call assistance

[formal minnow]

I wont anyways

Theyll just send tire service or if close enough theyll probably send our mechanic to do it

Why waste my back when someone else can do it with the appropriate tooks

[rose rose]

Why to pay someone when that is not worth it

[formal minnow]

Because im not the one paying for it

[summer valve]

What if your boss tells you to change it yourself?

[formal minnow]

Most companies that are decent sized probably have deals with a tire service to come replace wherever

[rose rose]

80% todays truckers won’t be able to work that job 20 years ago

[formal minnow]

Dont have the tools anyways

I used to change tires on trucks

Could only do it on the trailers as the trucks were on a lift 30 cm of the ground xD

Couldnt lift the tires onto there

[summer valve]

Pretty much every truck has tools to change a tire

[rose rose]

Once in Germany I stoped to help guy who tyre exploded and he tell me no I don’t need help I call assistance they charge company 2000€ for tyre and he have spare one

[formal minnow]

Damm how tf is it even 2000€ for a tire

Im pretty sure our company has a deal tho with the tyre service

[rose rose]

Because they mount new one and job

[formal minnow]

They come by aswell like every 2 weeks to bring new ones

[formal minnow]

Bad deal if hes got a sparew

Would probably cost way less lol

[rose rose]

If I need to pay 2000€ for something that driver can solve in 30mins I will fire him

[formal minnow]

But also reason most dont change these days is cuz they dont wanna get killed changing tire

Tire service has it changed within 5 mins

[summer valve]

Tire services don't change the spare for you. They change a brand new tire for you

[formal minnow]

Doing it manually with nk power tools takes 30+ mins minimum

In netherlands if it takes too long they gonna tow you

Then h have a few 1000€ bill

[rose rose]

They don’t I had puncture of front Tyre

[formal minnow]

As theyll just tow h to garage instead of the nearest safe spot they should do lol

[rose rose]

And I have low front bumper Scalia

I did it in 45mins

[formal minnow]

With 2 ppl?

[rose rose]

Yes

[formal minnow]

Yeah i wouldnt even bother ill wait safely behind barrier

Im not risking my life

[rose rose]

No I was on the road

[summer valve]

Would have probably taken 3x that time just for the tire service to arrive

[formal minnow]

Ive seen truckers parked on the line on the highway of emergency lane

[rose rose]

Road assistance comes put bariers around us

[formal minnow]

Standing in a active road trying to replace driver side tire

[turbid latch]

[formal minnow]

Yeah but thats cuz your in finland

[rose rose]

Give us second lifter that we can lift front end

[formal minnow]

Here it takes maybe 30 mins to come

[rose rose]

Because it was on the floor

They charge us 0€ and we clean after us

[turbid latch]

An hour max on a normal day

[formal minnow]

If u got a powertook in ur truck probably 20 mins

Aslong as u manually lossen bolt first

[rose rose]

That happened in 16:00 when everyone went from job home

[turbid latch]

Meant the tyre service

[formal minnow]

Cuz otherwise ur tool just snaps in half

[formal minnow]

Ah

Yea

[turbid latch]

I do not have the tools to change anything

[formal minnow]

Also depends where u are broken down

If id break down in a truck on a15 near my job

Theres like 4 tyreservices nearby that could come

[summer valve]

Just get an air lug nut gun and jack

[turbid latch]

or just get a phone number for a service

[formal minnow]

Yeah but not many people will have those with em

[formal minnow]

Anyways im gonna sleep goodnight kolekas

[turbid latch]

Gn

[rose rose]

It is good if u can put jack under the truck and lift it safely

[summer valve]

No need to

[turbid latch]

I sure as heck will not start changing tyres on the side of a motorway

[rose rose]

Why

[formal minnow]

Only if theres a massive sos area with barrier taken out to reverse behind

And thats only near tunnels usually

[turbid latch]

Because i do not want to hit by traffic?

[rose rose]

You call police police make barriers around you u change it an that’s it

[turbid latch]

Yeah not in Finland

[formal minnow]

In finland u get told theyre too buy being in sauna

And chasing mopad kids

[turbid latch]

too lazy to do their job

It's either the towing service or the tyre service that makes the barriers

More likely the towing service

[rose rose]

Road service too

[turbid latch]

And even then literally nobody cares about the speed limits

[rose rose]

I rather pay driver 100€ for that 40min job

Today drivers don’t know how to change lightbulb

They don’t know what to do when airbag explode to move from road

[turbid latch]

That's partially to do with the fact that modern trucks are much more difficult to operate on by yourself

[rose rose]

They will rather pay 4000€ for towing or something than disconnect and blind 1 hose

[turbid latch]

Plus certain companies have special deals with manufacturers which provide maintenance cheaply 24/7

[rose rose]

They won’t do for long time if they buy own truck

[turbid latch]

Well then don't buy your own truck ig

[rose rose]

My friend nothing is cheap today that is problem

[turbid latch]

Kind of

Scania gives my company cheaper prices because we lease the depot for them to use

[summer valve]

You can tho. I've done that myself

[turbid latch]

Called the police to close the lane?

[summer valve]

Yes

[turbid latch]

Where..?

[summer valve]

Between Taavetti and Lappeenranta

[turbid latch]

That's funny

I called the police to close the lane between Parkano and Kurikka, response was to put a triangle on the road and call a towing service when someone had hit a moose

[rose rose]

Firstly ther job is to help us, after that is to write us fines and control us

[turbid latch]

Yeah

It's always 50/50 which annoys me

Either the ADR checks they do are genuinely passionate or then they are just aholes when doing them

[rose rose]

Try to give them 10€

Tell them it is not much but it is from heart

Advice, don’t do it with German police he will told you that he can put you in jail because of that… don’t ask me how I know

[rose rose]

Did something left?

[restive shoal]

no boat?

[fleet basin]

Was bunkering a boat earlier but didnt take a pic

[fleet basin]

Left wot

[rose rose]

Inside barrel for home?

[fleet basin]

Nah

[rose rose]

[turbid latch]

Ze clean again

[formal minnow]

Damm busy week yesterday luxemburg today dusseldorf

[rose rose]

Not so bussy if u don’t do 1000+ km in one day with van 🤪

[astral idol]

Well boyys... how about go real works.. van drivers is amatör

[rose rose]

I would not do that at least on my country, that where r you looks good, but no thanks when you go out and step in mud to the knees

Chains are your best friends and so on 🤦

[astral idol]

Its dry season so here no have mud but when sping coming then is and then this is sucks. fortunately we have good jobs to when meaby drive 700km days in 15h. I no have chains so 😂

[rose rose]

That is not counting then 🤪🤪

[astral idol]

let's count, see when our working days vary, there are easy and difficult working days. remember that these are not vans, but 3-bed full-length trucks 😁

[rose rose]

I understand what u want to say, for me easy is when in I have 1 unloading place and 5 loading ones and do 2800km in 2.5 days and less, hard ones are like last one with 5 unloading and 12 loading ones with a lot of hand loading and playing tetris and over 3000km

[astral idol]

that sounds like its own art form

[rose rose]

How picture say…
Go work with flowers they said,
It will be fun they said

If you want to earn like a man you need to give yourself into it

Simple as that

[astral idol]

its very intense work with even longer hours then normal

but pays super good

[lean oracle]

mostly driving only hard thing is lugging lot of chain n shit

[formal minnow]

Yes

and the insane hours

depending on what theyre moving they might drive to jobsite for a few hours

and then spend the next 8 hours loading something

[lean oracle]

uusllyt if its something that takes 8 hrs theres crews and shit and all u mostly do ist ell them were to put it and tighten it down, those type of jobs u not alone doing all urself

[formal minnow]

Ofcourse not

but its definetly not just telling people what to do

your running around aswell chaining down etc

[lean oracle]

yes but as said ull have people helping u so u aint doing it all on ur own\

[formal minnow]
