Love NL, when they said LKW can come without problem on loading, guy on loading said, yes you can come when road is open trough forbidden area, but now road is under construction and you can come but you can’t turn around, only possible exit is by this street but I don’t know if you can make it, they are sending short trucks usualy he said
Little bit of car moving and you can pass trough

As we load all oversize stuff, this way i have more turning space

@rose rose my view for tonight
formal minnow
As we load all oversize stuff, this way i have more turning space
Also less chance trailer gets damaged
magic girder
Also less chance trailer gets damaged <:Wesh:983073194913202216>
Its just more easier, first "pallet" was 2.80 meter wide, so i use the lift as a turning platform
formal minnow
Yeah
i hate those big ass pallets
especially when they arent my first unload
cuz then it takes 15mins to get it into the van having to take out pallet jack etc
try and force it in as far as i can then put pallet jack back in
i hate having to turn around on my lift gate
always afraid im gonna fall off
magic girder
Yea, and its to long to load them in the length as they tip of the forklift and to heavy for the pallettruck to pick them up in the lenght, so its wigling them all the way in
formal minnow
Cant he load it by rotating it in
so they get put in length
and then a extra palletjack under it
magic girder
Pallet truck can't lift ot properly then
formal minnow
How heavy are they
magic girder
600 ish
formal minnow
Shouldnt have much issue with it then
magic girder
But the lenght is the problem, lifts the drivewheel
formal minnow
how long is it
magic girder
2.80 meter

Ive never had issues with pallets those big and heavy
with it lifting the drivewheel

Be carefull at using those, red and blue are not allowed
lean oracle
Be carefull at using those, red and blue are not allowed
tbf its slow as freak mode i think ud be fine not that id risk it but yeah
as then also how its lit in truck its clear it aint cop lights,
magic girder
as then also how its lit in truck its clear it aint cop lights,
You can get a fine for having blue covers on your beacons, even if you don't use them
lean oracle
ah yeah but rgb light strip do be different
wich is what he asked
just dont have them on brightest setting and a fast pattern
magic girder
I know, but just saying, red and blue they can do difficult about
lean oracle
owh yeah def hecne said dont freak around with it, i got rgb in the ape i do run it but usalkly if its on the color changing its set to musc so it goes n changee colers fast or not but it goes trough all colors and red n blue i think also how they are intentionally not come after each other
running red lights is ifne i got pulled over they either didnt see it or didnt caer but blue stationaryt be different
depends on cops tough but yea
magic girder
It does really depends on the cop
lean oracle
\yea landelijke eenheid can gtfo regular cops are chill
never ever with runnning strobes on my ape on gpot issues with regular cop/ drivingf where not allowed
that one itme i run flashers at midnight i get stopped by one as they saw me from the highway
magic girder
Yea, those are the worst
lean oracle
got like warning for running led bar in front, running strobes
and driving where not allowed
but benefit is i still do that cause they dnt come there where they puleld me over but ony lcuz my strobes attracted them to get off the highway
regular cops dont care/dont know what to do with my ape and thus leave me alone
magic girder
We have the orange, and in my case white flashers in the grill as we also do oversize with construction materials, we are only allowed to to use them when we do those loads, but i also use them when i'm parked on a dangerous spot like a biking lane etc
lean oracle
yrah legally i cant even run them but i was like they also count as my hazards as i dont got them but im wider thjan a moped so big fdifference
i usually use them mostly as my: i can park here when these are on lights
also shows if some cop or boa comes that i aint gonna be there long or suchs
formal minnow
I mean
its technically a scooter
so u can be on sidewalk anyway
to park
aslong as people can still get past
lean oracle
yes but boas dont care if they want they suck
i almost got towed once and those were old hags and once almost fined cuz that guy was powertripping
both times sidewalk being 3x as wide as my ape and not block over half of it

He has to go right lane and he forces the car to brake hard
Car gives room
Truck some reason slows a bit more and absolutely demolished the front left
Hope he stopped lol
Car driver was a dumbass and immediatly stopped in the tunnel… like no keep going if u can lol
formal minnow
They probably got spooked
They got going again quite quickly when they saw the truck keep going lol
This is why i either slow down alot or absolutely floor it on the rkght lane then

formal minnow

A wat
thick cedar
Blueeye and flitsmeister pro plus
formal minnow
No need for pro
thick cedar
Its a detector for emergency vehicles
To make the rosd safer
U can go to right lane when it beeps
Its not a detector
formal minnow
Just use mirror
thick cedar
🙄
No
its safer
it also detects undercovers
Even without lights
So u can go to right lane
And make road safe
formal minnow
But why u think u need flitsmeister pro
formal minnow
And make road safe
U mean nearly cause accidents cuz u hear it beep and will slam the fk out of ur brakes
If u know ur speedo = real gps speed ull be fine
I know my van at what speed ill get a ticket and what one i dont
Flitsmeister still beeps if ur going too fast in speedtraps
Just wont show speed

Goodnight people
blissful locust
The Volvo gives me the creeps
why
turbid latch
I had some slippery moments with it
summer valve
turbid latch
Although that could be down to me not being good with semi trailers
But the Super Scania on the right is fun
formal minnow
turbid latch
Its like one of the only customized trucks we have
Since the dude who drives it is old, he kinda made some requests when the truck was being ordered
Everyone else doesnt seem to bother
formal minnow
Show it
turbid latch
Dont have the keys for it rn
But its basically got installed extra tables, a million red interior lights, microwave, coffee maker, a TV
formal minnow
Nice
rugged cape
Only finnish to use parking lights
summer valve
Only finnish to use parking lights
lean oracle
Just wont show speed
I don’t got pro n mine shows me speed and in certain city’s lemme know if emergency comes aka ambulance or fire not cops
lean oracle
Mine does? Shows me my current speed
formal minnow
Mhm
turbid latch
have the trailer's inspection and also the tank pressure tests next week
also have the customer order some delivery at a very random time probably meaning i need to go work on sunday at 6 PM
also have problems with the indicators that scania can't fix before the tests due to the lack of employees right now everywhere due to summer breaks
and to top it off, one of the trailer's wheels is dangerously worn out
the wheel is the only thing i can fix
my boss came back from his summer break and i can already imagine the stress he has
The whole ethanol side is a joke right now
Mood

The whole ethanol side is a joke right now

as its a c eitehr way
summer valve
btw with c u can drive truck without a trailer attached right, like not the boxt...
Yes
lean oracle
aight nice
then im only slightly illegal when i drive ce
as the company im working at was like come over drive the trucks a bit on the yard so there i can do ce but like the other yard across street
xd
lean oracle
probz will drive some trailers once i got some classes
formal minnow
U have tractor license now correct?
formal minnow
Do they have a yard truck
lean oracle
no
formal minnow
Or a old truck thats limited
lean oracle
they have trucks to use as yard truck when needed but they dont change trailers as only trucks are double parked trailers aint
but i could just take a few move em make some spots and learn
plus the trailers if they where to hit not much u can damage
as theyre container trailers
lean oracle
i mean if u got really big lots or docks yeah but as thye dont unload anything theres no need
thick cedar
strats but cant give throttle or sellect geats
lean oracle
here u grab trailer and dont need a yard truck
formal minnow
We got a yard truck
U can legally drive a lzv
If ur within length limits
And the front unit is ofc reregistered as tractor
thick cedar
Lzv is above length
formal minnow
Is it
lean oracle
tought 18,60?
exotic shard
Nope 75
lean oracle
eh too bad i had it learne 2months ago passed exam and instantly forgot
exotic shard
lean oracle
ah right if trailer on c its a bit more
exotic shard
And with the ''eco cab'' even longer
lean oracle
yeah so u can have a t cab for looks and say tis for the environment cant ya?
cuz they always drive the regular trailers iwth em
exotic shard
yeah so u can have a t cab for looks and say tis for the environment cant ya\?
If you convice them
exotic shard
Its not really allowed
formal minnow
but noone really will bother probably
yeah cops can say well your longer so you have a economical advantage u can load more
exotic shard
and you only can do 50cm longer than the 16,50 or 18,75
formal minnow
but as soon as ud go to court for it theyll probably throw it out as u got 0 advantage
exotic shard
For LZV its still 2525
formal minnow
as theres no extra cargo room
its why u see people with longlines give 0 fks either and just run full size trailers
exotic shard
I rather have a longline than a torpedo, theyre overrated
lean oracle
true but theyre nice for the looks if build out
formal minnow
and its one of the first trucks i ever sat in
exotic shard
it is,. but longline is more practical
lean oracle
my new employer used to have a old peterbilt, shame they dont have that
i woulda been like lemme take that for a spin for a day xd
formal minnow
u wouldnt be allowed to drive it anyways
as its probably a manual and i doubt u did your exam with the lil flippas
lean oracle
nope as i woudla failed but the ce ill do manual as i got more time then as my instructors where like meh with the manual so yea
lean oracle
i mean theres one here running around with a fuel trailer
exotic shard
if they dont exceed the 16.5, its no problem
lean oracle
mhm
exotic shard
But with loader trailers you could get exemption.
exotic shard
they always need sign
lean oracle
as its like a meter n some maybe more and its on the front, altough tcabs usually arent stretched frames u know
they just moved cabs back so maybe somehwo with some magic it fits within regulations
exotic shard
This boy drives arround my neighbourhood
lean oracle
owh yeah bet he never has issues as hes got year round license for overload and length
lean oracle
hehe true
got a long sleeper on it
bet he mostly does highways n shit and dont go oversize in small towns altough seems hs 2nd is also a steer axle
exotic shard
Ye 2 front steering, does nothing xd
small cities, no , but everything already thight for him, every corner
lean oracle
probz tough as here even with that distance steering angles probz be bigger vs the american ones as they dont really need it as much as roads are wider and such
exotic shard
true
My truck is also a 8x4, but the last axle does counter steer
ideal for in the cities
lean oracle
ah 2front steering one rigid rear steering?
exotic shard
no only front and rear
its a triple
1 front axle, and 3 at the end , wich axle 2 and 3 are driven , and 4 counter steers
lean oracle
ah
no clue
bout tire layouts whatnot
bet if 2 steered it would be even better as u go citys lots right
exotic shard
you mean 3 out of 4 steered? i thought it aswell, but its not
lean oracle
ye
woulda been nicer also cuz here not much hills or anything so two powered axles isnt necciserily needed
exotic shard
The turningpoint of this 8x4 is between axle 2 and 3, and if you have a steered second axle aswell , the turningpoint is at axle 3
lean oracle
yeah so ud steer pretty tight aint u?
exotic shard
You can say that
lean oracle
but now bit less xd
formal minnow
nope as i woudla failed but the ce ill do manual as i got more time then as my i...
With the paddles?
wierks dont have a actual proper manual anymore so
exotic shard
but now bit less xd
huh?
formal minnow
ud be fine
formal minnow
i mean theres one here running around with a fuel trailer
The silver 4 series?
lean oracle
huh?
meant like if 2front steer it would go really tight vs 1front and a rear it wont as much
lean oracle
The silver 4 series?
white one with the barge on back
lean oracle
wierks dont have a actual proper manual anymore so
they do
lean oracle
they still got one with a sequential gearbox scania in dord
formal minnow
Theres a silver one with a single axle tanker
see it less and less tho around vondelingenplaat
lean oracle
its just not used for driving class only for closed property and for the unlaoding loading exams
exotic shard
meant like if 2front steer it would go really tight vs 1front and a rear it wont...
You really cannot get a thighter turning radius than this
formal minnow
Install a big wide lock kit
formal minnow
u go into small cities etc nonstop
exotic shard
yep 🙂
formal minnow
and u still didnt get a key for the poles?
lean oracle
why do u not have a key lol, even us window washers the skylifts have keys to open those poles to take em out so they can go in places that are blocked off n shit
exotic shard
I have, but the house is sticking out
formal minnow
i mean if ud hit that pole
with the force ur putting a dent into that house anyway
lean oracle
ah i see but it woulda given u like a few more cms to clear the turn
formal minnow
may aswell remove it to have that tiny bit more
lean oracle
and u still didnt get a key for the poles? <:kekw:768921770111533056>
i have one in my bloody ape lol
exotic shard
well there was still 4 meters of trucking comming after the pole.. so backed all the way up
lean oracle
cuz bike lanes have them and sometimes u dont fit
instead of going around next time im just joinking that thing out
formal minnow
So go onto the road
thats what i did at some point
when the junction at n210 was still under construction at the bridge
could cross legally
lean oracle
im not allowed but plenty routes theres places where i go thats like over 2/3km to go back to get on a road as bike paths cross trough shit while cars go around
formal minnow
ah well just go over sand onto road
thick cedar
eh too bad i had it learne 2months ago passed exam and instantly forgot
same
