[rapid warren]

thats what am thinking too

[worn mirage]

You know whats worse

[rapid warren]

there's worse?????

[worn mirage]

They once had an accident there, the heavy forklift was taking heavy pallets at the nose of the trailer and it toppled over forward

[proper elbow]

That's not optimal

[blissful locust]

what is that

[worn mirage]

Its delayed the unloading quite a bit yeah

[proper elbow]

Bundesstraße is almost everything that's not a highway

[proper elbow]

Btw bring cash with u

[worn mirage]

Oh?

[proper elbow]

If you get fined you have to pay on the spot in cash

If you don't have cash they'll bring you to an ATM

[worn mirage]

But fines are like 100s or 1000s

[proper elbow]

Few hundred max

[blissful locust]

is it similar to an "erftoegangsweg" that we got here

[proper elbow]

No basically N wegen

And not all German restaurants and toilet buildings accept cards so you need cash for that too

[worn mirage]

Legos be like: i know these spots where nobody else parks, ill tell you where they are. Btw bring lots of cash. Hmmmm

[proper elbow]

Sshhh

[blissful locust]

extra income

[worn mirage]

Yeah how is that about parking, in belgium i see the trucks parked on off and on ramps when its full. I know thats illegal but police doesnt care. I assume in germany you get fined for being 1 meter outside of the parking spots or something?

[proper elbow]

Nope

[queen brook]

90

Or go home

BAG cant fine you for that. They dont have the authority

So only police you need to worry about

[proper elbow]

That's why they let the police pull you over

[formal minnow]

They couldve just kept the whole as warehouse on floor level

plenty of room obviously

just need wheelchocks gauranteed cuz hill

[proper elbow]

70 or 80 is fine

[queen brook]

Escape the shithole challenge

[worn mirage]

the other side of the warehouse in on 'floor level', but this side is just the lower side of the hill.

[worn mirage]

woah, the weather might be terrible at times but no need to call the netherlands a shithole

[queen brook]

It absolutely is though

[proper elbow]

Gonna wash before heading to pfullingen tomorrow I think

[proper elbow]

Got ma own trailer back

[blissful locust]

put your name on it

[lean oracle]

i let it roll to 110 downhill loaded, trust me its more stable than a jeep at that speed xd, but yeah corners shit and such nah but for straights its fine

[rapid warren]

savage

[manic sandal]

if the boys are thirsty in atlanta, i would let it roll to 130. if i was a trucker.

[lean oracle]

one forklift and its downhill, id be annoyed having to unhitch my trailer for their stupidity

[lean oracle]

trust me when i have a 20ft tank on that weighs 25ish tons

ill be getting out the tunnel at 70/75 if there isnt a polish dipshit infront whos empty doing downhil on cruise with engine brake and htus doing 70

to then remember oh yeah i can hit the gas and pulls off while im stuck with his stupid slow driving climbing out the tunnel

[proper elbow]

I have

[proper elbow]

Hes headed Frankfurt, I'm going to pfullingen

[formal minnow]

[proper elbow]

Germany experience

[jaunty idol]

Wtf happened

[proper elbow]

Dude overtook me

The slowed me from 90 all the way to 70 cuz ur wanted to take the upcoming exit

[jaunty idol]

[worn mirage]

If you're going to load 2 20ft containers, 1 weigh 20 000kg the other 10 000kg. Which you put in front and which back.

[worn mirage]

B-b-baka! Sensei teached me drive only 80 in germany!

[proper elbow]

[gentle canopy]

dad made it 150 downhill once with an 12to :D

[rapid warren]

really nothing to be proud of 😄

ist just dangerous for you and others 😄

[gentle canopy]

nah autobahn was straight and empty

[tender plover]

I'm worried about the engine or was he in neutral^^

[gentle canopy]

manual

idk if he went in neutral

[gentle canopy]

happened once but it was bec (as always) drivers cant focus on the road but need to film every accident they come across

[blissful locust]

always make room for a volkswagen golf

[gentle canopy]

or someone german with an M on their plate, just for your own safety

especially within munich

[tender plover]

yeah changing the lanes without indicator and I has to brake

[formal minnow]

Sex

[rugged cape]

I only got flashed twice in like two minutes doing 89 on the autobahn lol

First was in a 80 limit so I understand but the 2nd time was in a 100, didn't know they differentiated between cars and trucks

[magic girder]

Thats just being stupid, everywhere in europe its 80 for a truck, except for France and Belgium those are 90

[rugged cape]

Still didn't know the cameras differentiate

Sweden has 90 on highways and UK has 96 too

[proper elbow]

[proper elbow]

Gonna pull a risky stunt

Gonna cut right across the black forest

2.5 hours of bundesstraße

Either that or 2 hours in traffic at pforzheim

Which is only gonna get worse

[lean oracle]

Have fun

[queen brook]

99% they wont even send anything after u

I flashed a camera going 90 on a 60 limit 1 year ago, still nothing

Germany and their outdated 60 limit for trucks on 2 lane roads

[formal minnow]

@queen brook

My shift is 4 weeks that is

[formal minnow]

Right so 3 weekends in truck

[queen brook]

Theres rooms to sleep in but I like sleeping in the truck so cant be bothered

[formal minnow]

Ah u got terminals all over the place i geuss?

and yeah if i had aces to that stuff id still sleep in my own truck lol

rather not sleep in a bed lots of people sleep in

[queen brook]

Aalsmeer, Maasdijk and Lübeck

[formal minnow]

must be a tiny one in aalsmeer tho

[queen brook]

Big enough to fit 3 trucks

[formal minnow]

yeah its not big

im geussing a decent bit is taken up by accomadation then

[rapid warren]

Sooooo, I passed me C practical examen, however failed the C95 one miserably
Probably can't drive anymore this year 💀 yiehaaa

[formal minnow]

How

the practical shit is easy

especially if no inspection

just automatic pass

unless u show ur examinator ur really bad xd

[rapid warren]

no, my instructor didnt say specific how to drive He said my style was okay and I should pass easily - so I drove even more careful and yet I failed.
He literally said, imagine you drive super fragile cargo not stripped down.... that careful I have to drive

yeah, in 2 weeks I have the next test....

yieha.... 200€ more 💀

[formal minnow]

So u have code 95 driving test?

i had to do parkour

[lean oracle]

Tf u have to drive that slow for

It’s a parkour on closed property and a don’t hit the poles or you fail

[restive shoal]

yall countries differ with exams you know that?

[rapid warren]

Yep...and our Code 95 test aint on the parkour place... its on the road under real driving. Of course it was rush hour and all them kids had school out when I drove, causing all 30 kmh school zones zo be filled with all them kids.

[formal minnow]

lol

[queen brook]

Theres a test for code 95?

How about that

[formal minnow]

i had 2

• 2 theory

[restive shoal]

Module 1 is the most stupid one

[lean oracle]

But easiest if you just need it for a rv or grocery store that type a crap where u don’t need 95

[rapid warren]

Well, I had the Theory C + E Test, then I have the C + C95 + CE Test (but in my case C and CE are splitted simply because too many want to have the truck license, yet only one truck is available) - and once the practical examen is done you have the theory C95 Test at the professional driver registration office 😄

[summer valve]

Something ain't right

What's wrong with it?

[restive shoal]

you tell us

[rapid warren]

happens?

[restive shoal]

yeah

[rugged cape]

Didn't hear anything but it was a German truck

[rugged cape]

Which is unlucky since I've heard they don't send it out to foreign trucks

[queen brook]

They do

[rugged cape]

Quick trip before next weekend off 😴😴

[magic girder]

Nice

[paper fjord]

Volvo was not happy

[sinful tiger]

You have got to be kidding me…

For context, that entrance is to the HGV only fuel pumps, and I’m of course pulling a trailer

Guy in the 7.5t truck claimed he had broken down but moved over to the left more, the BMW just said “Oh well, no signs here” when I told him to move. Conveniently a police car was fuelling up so I asked them to tell them to move and they of course obliged.

[lean oracle]

Could be limp mode and mechanic said don’t move it and he did for you lol

[sinful tiger]

Besides the point, parking in front of a tight enough entry for HGV fuel is a stupid thing to do

Limp mode or not, he chose to place his truck there. The area he was in was big enough to choose a more sensible place

[formal minnow]

[thick cedar]

[thick cedar]

I want to do truck driving.. what is the process of getting there?

[lucid birch]

get a license

thats step 1

then get a employeer

thats step 2

then start working

thats step 3

[lost crow]

Get a licence
Sit for months

[thick cedar]

How hard is that initially. Getting s trucking job will sure be hard

Im 16 as of now. So got good amount of time

[lucid birch]

Where are you from?

[thick cedar]

England

[lucid birch]

i think there are many companies in england that want to pay for your driver license.

because there is a shortage of drivers.

So might be smart to email some logistics companies that has their own trucks.

but make sure you have your car license. 😄

[quartz moat]

average bmw driver in the uk

[sinful tiger]

Can confirm

[thick cedar]

Il be getting that asap

[thick cedar]

I want to do it. Because I have a big liking for trucks. For being able to just. Travel the world. I want to go to norway alot

Norway is beautiful

[lucid birch]

Probably becoming an international truck driver in england would be quite hard i think.

due to brexit and its quite expensive to take the ferry.

[thick cedar]

Ah yea.. hopefully they fix brexit. All the costs and things are terrible. And the government think handing benefits out is all that needs to happen (which is just invalidated by tax anyway)
Rejoining the union means better cost of living..

[elder roost]

Nobody will pay for your license unless its a megacorp. Taking a bet on some nobody because they "want to drive trucks" sadly is not a thing that happens.

Dont know about the "driver shortage" in the UK.
But here in Sweden the driver shortage is somewhat of a complicated issue. Theres a shortage of local/distribution drivers. And a shortage of drivers who are up too any good. But none who are up to any good are out of a job..

[restive shoal]

what rowan means, is that in nl there are plenty of companies big and small who pay your license and you work for them for 3/4 years

[lucid birch]

big or small companies definity want to pay for your license.

you just have to work there a x amount of years

or pay the cost back.

[formal minnow]

They can get subsidized aswell

[lucid birch]

not everywhere

swen dont talk

if u dont know

[formal minnow]

im not saying they all get subsidized did i

im just saying they "CAN" get subsidized

doesnt mean they do get subsidized or use it

[lucid birch]

ur just dumb

[elder roost]

Yes that exists. But then your "stuck" with an employer who may or may not be any good.

[formal minnow]

Thats why u try to work there a bit before

in a different position perhaps

so u know how the company is

before u get stuck in something for years

[lucid birch]

first smart then capri has ever said

[formal minnow]

fk you

[lucid birch]

@jade tangle, capri is swearing

[elder roost]

Well. I for one would never get myself in such a contract..

[formal minnow]

okay

Well you dont have to you know

[lucid birch]

are u even a truck driver?

[elder roost]

Yes

[formal minnow]

either u start and u find a different employer when u got your license who will "buy over" your study debt

or u pay off yourself and leave

or u just ride it out till the times over

im gonna have 1 year i must stay

and looking at it for the comming 3 months most likely i wont even have a truck yet

as scania is super slow building up the new rigid

[lucid birch]

i bet u probably read ur contract wrong

and u have to stay much longer

[formal minnow]

No, ive got a one year

if i leave before i must pay back 50%

otherwise i must remain one year

[elder roost]

Doubtfull

[formal minnow]

😄

not really

plenty of companies who will say 1 year

[elder roost]

Here in Sweden the standard for such contracts is 5 years..

[lucid birch]

here in the netherlands its 3-5 years

[formal minnow]

Mine is 1

it really depends on the company aswell

if they finance it themselves 100% its usually a few years

[elder roost]

An how much did they get to scam you off your salary?

[formal minnow]

0

or theyre taking some but its so minimum i havent seen

and they wont begetting that amount that theyve paid lol

ok 6.50 a month i see

thats fk all

[lucid birch]

"soob"?

[elder roost]

Well.. not in the sense that you get paid "less" but your ability to negotiate is GONE

[formal minnow]

Yea

[lucid birch]

every truck driver pays that

[formal minnow]

but i think every trucker pays that

yeah

[lucid birch]

its standard in "CAO"

[formal minnow]

ah yeah

so in that case i pay 0

😄

[lucid birch]

every truck driver pays that to improve the trucking industry

[formal minnow]

Yeah so in that case my costs are 0 then

[elder roost]

How come they are paying? Been with them for a long time?

[formal minnow]

No

people got hired and they were starting license within 2/3 months

😄

its just normal

yes i wanted to get my truck license

but in the eyes of my company i am getting it for them

so they paid everything

including my hours at exams / driving lesson / in class lessons for theory etc

[elder roost]

Well how much is your hourly rate?

[formal minnow]

My pay?

[elder roost]

Yep

[formal minnow]

that aint none of your business

[elder roost]

Ballpark number dont need exacts..

[formal minnow]

Well so im currently still in van

as my truck isnt empty due to us waiting for a new one

but ive been paid as truck driver salary since day 1

[lucid birch]

so when u getting ur trailer license?

[formal minnow]

and ive been working here almost 2 years

[formal minnow]

Usualy 1 year roughly after u got c

as they want us to get experience first with c

[lucid birch]

isnt it smarter to get trailer right away

[formal minnow]

🤷‍♂️

yes

because then the driving instructors dont have to unteach u alot of stuff again

if new truck takes too long they might just say go get ce to me

or maybe to another driver whos in c for a bit already

[elder roost]

Well any good driver can adapt driving to a given situation anyways.. no need to unteach...

[formal minnow]

Well

yes

but for driving exam

u have to do everything 100% according to the book

even tho in real life it happens differently

[elder roost]

I know... No shit

Just about any respectable/good driver can adapt they "normal" driving to fit a driving test with low effort..

[formal minnow]

Well if uve been driving for a good while

doing stuff they wont allow for exam

sure u can adapt

but it takes a bit

its not just instant

[restive shoal]

.

[thick cedar]

I guess migrating wouldnt be a big issue. But that will have to be if i really wanted to do truck driving.

[regal comet]

😴

[pseudo bone]

i got my licenses out of School for free, didn't have to pay anything

[lean oracle]

might be uk companies that haul their trailers on the ferrys without truck and have a entity business in eu to be based there and just has trucks drive there but they dont takethe ferry each few days but once a month to go back for their rest n shit

[lean oracle]

the benefit is cause its for worktheyre more lenient, i wasnt folowing the look all wau trough the mirrors in order before hitting signal

just looked in mirror and turned it on and then went

jjust keep looking lot they oversee lot of other shit

@lucid birch btw if u get it trough soob vs go apply company and they stary it

u either have a 1year contract with 24hr a week minimum contract

or a 2year with 12hr minimum a week contractn

[manic sandal]

how expensive is the license in Europe?

[rapid warren]

I paid 2900€ - but since I booked 2 driving units additionally and didnt pass C95 in first test, so now my total is 3.600€

[lucid birch]

Around 7.000 euro for truck and trailer (CE)

Is normal. Some fail a theory test some fail a driving test.

My CE costs me €7.709,86.

I failed every theory exam once
I failed C driving exam once
I failed CE driving exam once

(Soon new CE exam)

[rapid warren]

but thats expensive

if I would not have failed in any single, it is 2,800€ here 😄

[lean oracle]

i mean tbf thats a real skill issue if u failed everything once

and then its still cheap if under 8k tough

[elder roost]

C CE + Yrkeskompetensbevis 3800€

[lean oracle]

but i assume @rapid warren u didnt take any classes for exams and did self study

most here go trough classes per exam shit and then take exam so that adds up too

[rapid warren]

no, you have to attend classes which is included already

[elder roost]

Yup, 140 hours of classes mandatory for the "YKB" in Sweden...

[lean oracle]

damn shit is cheap then

[elder roost]

Me?

[lean oracle]

maurice but yeah cheap in sweden too

yrkes shit is assume the code 95crap so u can drive commercially where transport is the companys business model stuff

[lucid birch]

C OR CE?

[elder roost]

Bang on

[lucid birch]

Oops caps

[lean oracle]

nub

[lucid birch]

Ur mom

[rapid warren]

C95E 🙂

[lucid birch]

And ur from belgium?

[rapid warren]

Austria

[lucid birch]

Oh

How do driving schools even make money

If CE costs 2800

[elder roost]

Well i spent about 1500€ total on 2 driving lessons, and truck rental for the tests...

Which makes them about 400€ per hour..

[lucid birch]

2 lessons to get a truck license is wild

Thats how we get bad drivers with white license plates

[elder roost]

Grew up on a tractor😉 already knew how to back up a train

[lucid birch]

Im happy that dutch truck driving standards are high

It costs a bit more but we have many good drivers here.

[elder roost]

They are here too.. its very very uncommon to get by on only 2 lessons..

But we are seeing an influx of shit drivers lately. Mostly 18 yearolds who got their licences through school..

[elder roost]

LNG i see

[summer valve]

Yup

[formal minnow]

For c + e after?

[formal minnow]

I got told mine is 6969 wonder of thats with +E already paid for in advance

[rapid warren]

Yes, for C95E 😄 the only things which I have to pay additionally is the doctor to check up on you (e.g. when needing glasses/lenses, hearing aids or any medical stuff like high/low blood pressure or any medication) and the first aid help course (which I already had for the car) and the bill for the actual license card you get, as the temporary license paper only is valid 4 weeks and only in austria.

[elder roost]

Dont your employers pay for that shit?

[rapid warren]

my mom and I paid for it

I do that on my own.

[formal minnow]

Fkn cheap

I know my friend in england got his c+e cuz he wanted it

He doesnt even drive truck

But he got it all together including theory etc within a week

No clue what he paid tho but it wasnt more then 5000

[elder roost]

Well before you get a job ofc, but the mandatory C95 renewals and doctors checkups are an employer issue in my book..

[rapid warren]

I tried applying for companies who'd pay for the license and funnily enough, I never got a reply. Then I faked an application and sent it out from another provider and look, if you already got a license, they can answer so yeah. I do it to finally being able to do what I wanted to do since I was a little kid 😄

trucks always fascinated me - same goes with buses

[elder roost]

Not an issue.. its the C95/YKB// thats the issue

[rapid warren]

yeah, thats true greek is even cheaper iirc

[elder roost]

Yea no shit they wont reply, i meant the running costs down the line.. not getting it in the first place..

[rapid warren]

obv if I had a company as well, I would prefer people who already have a license and the Code 95 tbf

but not even sending out an rejection email is really harsh tbf

[elder roost]

Agreed, at least if they had a position advertised...

[formal minnow]

He wont need it anyways

As he doesnt drive commercial

He just wanted to have it xd

[elder roost]

Fair.

[manic sandal]

it's good you have a passion like this that you can build a living from

[rapid warren]

I fairly can't wait until I can start my job at a trucking company 😄

[elder roost]

Looking at a specific side of the industry? Construction, Dryvan, Reefer, etc. ?

[rapid warren]

I know what I definitely don't want to drive 😂
Which would be living animals, any kind of fluids* / gases / explosives, construction
I prefer dryvan / cooled goods / pallet ware

* -> except Milk.

[elder roost]

Pallets get boring quick, i do Dryvan focused on direct to construction deliverys. Its a challenge, i like it.

[elder roost]

Read, Drywall, lumber, cement, etc Factory > Construction site

[rapid warren]

Well, I want to drive international. Not in the beginning, so I can get used to the protocols and all that stuff what comes up on one. But after like 3 - 6 months? I wanna change into international driving. I love driving routes

[elder roost]

Dont be in a hurry, 6 months is nothing. International driving brings its own problems. Trust me you will have problems getting people to do what they need to even in your own country. 😉

[rapid warren]

yeah, I can guess so. But I don't wanna drive the same route over and over again, otherwise I could've stayd in my old job (post guy) always the same route, same adresses and whatnot. That tired me at some point 😄

I wanna see some of europe whilst doing my job. I know, lousy excuse, but it is what it is

[elder roost]

Well, we have a certain set of fixed routes. Maybe 2 days a week. An the other 3 we are all over Sweden 👍 in my book the perfect combo. Keeps the stress down to do things you already know very now and then

[rapid warren]

okay, that's actually something I'd like to have as well tbf.

[elder roost]

Most important thing is finding a company where you get along with your bosses/leadership. And to find something that fits you. Worrying about what to do next every day is not nice. Also, shit happens, you will break things, punctures happen, equipment fails. As long as you did your best, its okay. Be honest with leadership

[rapid warren]

Yeah, that's true. Same with my old boss.

In personal super nice and awesome, but when it comes to the company, she's the biggest assh.... on earth, not gonna lie. I disliked that.
I don't need an overcaring boss, but also not a minimanagement boss, I'm confident I can drive alone 😂 But yeah, I got you.

Yeah, shit already happened. I crashed in a car or in a garden fence causing 20k€ on damage. Happens. But I tried to do my best.

[elder roost]

Well im running on 4 years without even a fender bender in the truck.. but lost my drivers license for a month for drifting and got tasked with shop duty for the time.. they didnt like that..

[rapid warren]

ouch
But yeah, I'm rather afraid of driving in snow. Never really drove real KMs on a road, then I start driving when potentially snow could be there? me

[elder roost]

Dont see the snow as the enemy👍 snow is fun in a car and a challenge in the truck. Dont worry too much, its the black ice that will get you in trouble not snow😉

[rapid warren]

😅

black ice caused me to crash a 3.5t van into a garden fence

I knew the road was icy, yet I decided to drive on it, because the customer was waiting for their parcel.... once I let off the brakes the car gained too much speed too quickly, causing the brakes to fail and me slipping right into a garden fence with 40km

[elder roost]

Now make that van 64 tons. Well in your case 40?
Same difference. Trucks are very good in subpar conditions. But once the grip is gone.. its GONE

[rapid warren]

40 yes, 44 for the pre/post run in combined traffic (e.g. train/ferry)

yeah, thats why I am kind of afraid of it.

I'd drive on that conditions max 40 - 50 kmh 😄

to be fair if I even would drive at all 🤣

where I live snow is quite rare. Basically nonexistant. But IF it snows, then everything is under snow 🤣 and people panic and the roads are even less safe.

[elder roost]

You worry too much😉 if you dont keep the speed youll be stuck spinning in an uphill..

[rapid warren]

of course I'm worried 😄

[elder roost]

Learn to strechbrake

[rapid warren]

I only drive inappropiate if the conditions are 1A fancy weather. Once it rains / snows or the littlest tad is off, I drive as rule conform as possible 😄

[elder roost]

It does wonders for stability in shit conditions

[summer valve]

Luckily tonight I don't have to drive 90kmh on cruise. Can chill with 80kmh cruise

[rapid warren]

nice 😄

stretchbrake is what? I mean, I can guess what that is, but I better ask to not mix it up

[elder roost]

Hell yea👌 whats your max comfortable free roll?

[summer valve]

I have it set on +5kmh

[elder roost]

Gas and brake/trailerbrake combined, makes the truck understeer(go straight) while still reducing speed.

[rapid warren]

ahhhh, okay, then I mixed it up ^^ but yeah, makes kind of sense.

[elder roost]

While pushing 90? Ours would let go all the way out to 100+ that way😂

I usually run 82+10 which keeps it below 97.

[summer valve]

iSave so it starts to roll way before a downhill. Usually doesn't go above what I set on the cruise control

[elder roost]

Yea same, not going over is odd. Guess that is hidden settings. BTW switch the shifting program to anything but economy. It will keep more speed over the hills 👌

[summer valve]

Ehh, I don't mind losing little speed when going uphill

[elder roost]

What i meant is the shifting program ties into the iSee system.. not just shifting sadly..

[summer valve]

As I said, I don't mind losing a bit of speed going uphill

[summer valve]

Light load of 60 tons

[lean oracle]

In tunnels I use my momentum and go downhill at max 110, to get out the tunnel at 75 if fully loaded 😂

[elder roost]

Sounds like you dont have a tacho..

[lean oracle]

i do

but thye can see u aint giving any gas, engine is in neutral\

tunnels here be steep to get out if ur 40tons or more

empty it does fine but if loaded yeah u wanna get speed downhill or ull exit at 50

wich i had before too wich aint fun

[queen brook]

@formal minnow Rotterdam Centrum time once again

Hate going there but must get that bread

[formal minnow]

U goin anywhere else after as i aint in Rotterdam

So just air up and drive off and let mechanics replace in afternoon when ur back?

[sinful tiger]

Yes I’ll just pull the air compressor out of my arse shall I

[lean oracle]

Idk we have our trucks parked at base and can just air up after 7 am when one of the guys come and unlock the garage

Heck roadside when mechanic come they grab the hose out truck and run it off supply line 😂

[lost crow]

Glad i have a 15 meter hose

[trail magnet]

Wow that camera when blinkers are activated is so cool

[summer valve]

HCT requirement

[trail magnet]

Sorry, whats HCT? Is it 3 trailers?

[summer valve]

25.26m or longer combination. Requirements kick in for 28+ meter combinations

[paper fjord]

lol, it was already kaboom

[lean oracle]

ik but u made it worse clearly

[trail magnet]

Yoo thats so long for a truck. I wish you luck and respect 🙏👏

[summer valve]

This is the truck I drive

[trail magnet]

Woww so cool 😍
Is it even possible to park backwards???

[summer valve]

Yes. It's surprisingly easy

[trail magnet]

I tried 2 trailers in ets2. It didnt go well 💀
Anyways, i dont even have a driving license irl

[restive shoal]

@jade tangle or @lean oracle still complaining about proof?

[summer valve]

Surprisingly not. At least TimTims isn't

[trail magnet]

Sorry, one more question
How old should I be to drive one of these?

[summer valve]

18

[trail magnet]

Oh

Cool, thx 🙏

[formal minnow]

“Kicks it” like it wasnt flat

[formal minnow]

Im geussing aslong as the dolly doesnt reverse wrong it steers like a dream

[formal minnow]

[daring sail]

😂

[dull heath]

Some tacho-clever drivers here? I have this annoying tacho that, instead of counting down to a 45 minute break, it counts down to a 15 minute break after 2,5 hours of driving. When it exceeds the 2,5 of driving it will just show 00:00 minutes in display until you have your 15 minute break. When youve had your 15 minutes it will count down the remaining time to the remaining 30 minutes.
It is not possible to have a 45 minute break without having to move the truck after 15 minutes or else it wont register the remaining 30 minutes.

Is there a setting somewhere or am i just unlucky with this pos tacho?

[formal minnow]

Probably the tacho is programmed that way

Best to ask ur tacho technician when it goes for certification to look at it

[magic girder]

I would go down to a garage, its not meant to do that

[lean oracle]

Damn tiny electric

[blissful locust]

just don't get it ignited

[calm parrot]

just one more trailer

[elder roost]

As Capri said, but you can just ignore it, unless your employer wants it that way.

[manic sandal]

I'm thinking about getting a heavy vehicle license, I worked in a office but I can't fathom going to work behind a computer again

this channel is my therapy, looks like hard work but fun and I love the passion

[lean oracle]

keep driving see if it adjust time as clearly u always stopped then and see what it does if it doesnt add up time oir continues driving time, keep track urself and after ur 4,5 take ur 45

[oblique kernel]

I wonder how many of you Dutch drivers I have passed IRL

(I'm not a truck driver IRL sadly)

[formal minnow]

Need to pay proper attention tho

as itl just say 0 vs actual driving hours

[formal minnow]

Depends if ur on the road always yourself

[wise thistle]

Why are UK trucks all 6x2 and 6x4??

[muted shell]

wait a sec, I thought the law in Finland to operate 6x4 only when using HCT, no?

[lucid birch]

My truck is much better

Its a 10x8

[daring sail]

My Polo is better, it’s 4x2

[magic girder]

Maybe multiple, as there are atleast 4 dutch drivers active here

[wise thistle]

Why does uk use 6x2 and 6x4 trucks only?

[magic girder]

if you have a 6x2 you can be 44 ton instead of 40 with a 4x2

[formal minnow]

auy ur not dead

[muted shell]

why would I be? 🤨

[formal minnow]

cuz u rarely active

[muted shell]

Too much work man, no time for discord during the week

[blissful locust]

my scooter is better, it's 2x1

[wise thistle]

Oh k

[sinful tiger]

We… don’t?

[pine pelican]

It is more cost effective for companies to be at a higher gross weight. For example cemex use the ftp axle as it still allows them to be at 44 tons but they only carry cement dust

Then for their half pipe they use the ftg or the ftn axle

[wise thistle]

Every one i see on yt are 3 axle

[sinful tiger]

There are plenty of 4x2 units on our roads

[elder roost]

The minor damage from a bus crossing a solid white, the front of the box is from and old incident of a colleague

[lean oracle]

Yep, legos you rowan and me, capri doesn’t count

Last truck of the day here

[earnest dawn]

[daring sail]

Wow long waiting time

[wise thistle]

They don't have limiters in your country?

[rustic ferry]

Hi guys, I've got some pictures of some of the trucks my dad and I have driven. I was wondering if I could share them?

[vivid sentinel]

@rustic ferry if they are iveco u can keep them for yourself 🤣

[rustic ferry]

🤢🤮 🤣kenworth only, mate

[formal minnow]

If its not ur truck then #irl-media

[rustic ferry]

One was, the others aren't

[formal minnow]

Well

Do u drive said truck then yes here

Otherwise no

[restive shoal]

He can’t even post it

[rustic ferry]

No I can't

That's why I was asking

[lean oracle]

U can let ur run out just don’t have gas, can go downhill as fast as h let it go

[earnest dawn]

Yes but the truck did not slow down when getting off the highway to a normal road and lost control

[wise thistle]

Ah ok

[lean oracle]

Fun sight to see when u spend 2 n half hrs to get ur container on truck to see it took a guy 5m of the terminal and 3 minutes to lose his

[silk zephyr]

Hell that was close

[formal minnow]

Nah

U got 8 mins left

[lucid birch]

8 minutes is nothing man

Rookie numbers

4 hours 31min driven

🫡

[silk zephyr]

I did worse than that 4h58

[lucid birch]

I once did 6 hours

[daring sail]

calling police

[eager cradle]

Havent seen you in a while

[restive shoal]

you should check #car-talk more often

[eager cradle]

I dont have a car, so i dont tend to haha

[rugged cape]

Rookie numbers

Old truck with paper tacho from 8am to 4pm then normal tacho at night shift

That's how I did it in the very start of driving, now they opened too many weight stations

[lean oracle]

Imagine having weight stations 😂

[vivid sentinel]

👏🏻👏🏻😍 wonderfull volvo!

fh 500?

[magic girder]

Time to wait till 12

[restive shoal]

New truck for @lean oracle

[summer valve]

460

[daring sail]

not a depressing view at all 😦

Also what is that score?

[magic girder]

Driver score, how you use the engine brake and how much you let it roll/anticipate

[daring sail]

Not 100%, u fail

bad driver

[magic girder]

I'm always between 85 and 95%

[daring sail]

We only accept 100% here im afraid, back to CBR u go

[magic girder]

You never saw the score of other drivers in the company, some get scores of 30%

[daring sail]

Eek

[magic girder]

Have my curtains closed, so don't see it

[daring sail]

good

[magic girder]

Some days when i drove night, and someone else drove at day, my score at night was 90+ when i parked, when i came back the next night, the score was sometimes in the 40's and they just drove 100 to 200 km at max

[daring sail]

Such bad drivers

[magic girder]

That means they drove so bad, that if it was reset, it would show in the 20's

They just don't care about it

I can drive for 2 or 3 weeks with my rims almost not collecting brake dust, others drive 2 days, and the rims are completly black already

[lean oracle]

That’s a tiny tiny baby truck, it’s perfect for capri

[restive shoal]

Does having fully black rims after driving 2k international mean you’re a bad driver?
Asking for a colleague

[magic girder]

Some get them black here after only 500 km

[lucid birch]

We have that aswell in the netherlands

But its build into the highway roads

Sensors in the road.

U get pulled over if someone is available

[jaunty idol]

Lol

[restive shoal]

if

[lean oracle]

So u hit left lane the

[magic girder]

There is the same scale

[calm parrot]

Scales in the road?

[daring sail]

so u use the shoulder

[magic girder]

Its also in there

[magic girder]

Yes

[daring sail]

simply drive over the grass then

also what if my polo is flagged as too heavy

[calm parrot]

I wouldve lost my license long ago if we had that

[magic girder]

They read the license plate, if a truck of a certain company is often to heavy they will first sent a letter to the company or do a visit, and if it still continues, they will pull trucks over and do a proper scaling on them, and fine them, and if its your first time, and yoy are way to heavy the truck will be flagged down, and stopped as soon as they can

[lean oracle]

If 3 lane only 2 right ones do

[magic girder]

Yea, but you will be flagged automaticly if you drive on the 3rd lane

[lean oracle]

Had no cam?

[magic girder]

Has a cam

[lean oracle]

Mhm guess never paid attention to it

[elder roost]

Wtf? I scrub brakedust every 3 months, average drive score 98.

[magic girder]

Today my score was 91%, considering the route i had, its a decent score

[elder roost]

96 today, horrible route, 3 construction site deliverys...

VEB enginebrake is good shit tho and doesnt deduct score

[magic girder]

Had lots of highway driving, but also inner city driving, and a few small towns where sidestreets had the right of way, but 91 still isn't a bad score

[elder roost]

Yup, score is heavily load and route dependant

[magic girder]

With lots of city driving my score will be lower, but lowest will be low 80's, but some in the company just don't care and drive just in the 30's/40's

[elder roost]

Yupe, im the highest average at the company 98. Never been below 85, but i do 150km+ construction deliverys. So everything is relative..

Also dive through Stockholm EVERY day which should lower score, but once you get into the Stockholm flow you will get better mileage than on the HW..

[civic siren]

@pliant basin Maybe you saw me sometimes

[pliant basin]

Oh jeeh, I often see this truck

[civic siren]

Heyaaa

[minor minnow]

Hello I am a future trucker! Its my dream job so far and I want to ask if you guys have any advice on how I can find an good company to work for. And what if i start my own company what trucks I should use?

[rapid warren]

pretty sure you cant afford the costs to start your own company + having your own fleet 😄

I'd go with a company of your liking on what you'd like to haul.

[minor minnow]

I mostly would go for refrigirated cargo

Like food etc

[civic siren]

what i learned are that the companys who let rookies do the unthinkable

i learned on a heavy cargo company (STL Logistik) and i loved it
you see the unrealest things and you also get invited to see and if you got the license even drive special transports

im now at a company STL owns

[minor minnow]

Nice, what companys would you recommend for starters?

I wanna start with easy cargo

[civic siren]

which country

really easy is what i do. i drive steel. heavy asf but really really easy job for load unload. rooftop trailer open and loaded by crane. most times 1 object with 2m length is about 25ton and youre maxed

[minor minnow]

Sweden

[civic siren]

hmmm
i would try steel if there are options next

[minor minnow]

I can try. But a quick qestion is it hard to backup a trailer?

[civic siren]

this is a example. this are 28 tons

[civic siren]

First time yes
After a bit nope
Do it slowly and its easy
No compare to the simulator. Irl i can back up in anything
I cant do shjt ingame

[minor minnow]

Whats the longest destination u have ever driven in irl?

[civic siren]

And a funny fact
Literally all truck drivers can back up trucks with 18m
But noone can really drive a car backwards xD

[civic siren]

Steel is the good thing youre pretty local most of the time
Great for rookies
My longest tour was 200km away

[minor minnow]

Nice. Whats ur Favorit truck? Tbh I like Scania the most

[civic siren]

u have pretty much the same customer list.
its a long list but if you drive a few months they will know u and will be nicer

[civic siren]

scania
but i drive MAN

[minor minnow]

What does it look like?

[civic siren]

for example at thyssenkrupp i get free coffee unlike others

or get better loading slots

[civic siren]

@minor minnow

[minor minnow]

Nice high beams

[civic siren]

yaa but illegal

[minor minnow]

Why is it illegal?

[civic siren]

weird german laws

[minor minnow]

Do you drive around countries?
Or is it only in germany?

[civic siren]

in germany youre allowed to have 6 lights at once into the front
that means
2 normal light
2 normal high beams
3 high beams on roof
and in theorie 5 position lights

[civic siren]

different anywhere

[minor minnow]

3 only?

[civic siren]

3 what?

[minor minnow]

High beams on roof

[civic siren]

the list is my equipment

i am allowed to have 6 lights at the same infront

[minor minnow]

Oh

[civic siren]

but i got 4 by regular light and highbeam and 3 lights on my roof
so i have 7

and in theorie i have 12 because of that 5 position lights

[minor minnow]

Is the high beams expensive?

[civic siren]

yaa
i dont know the exact price but i heard with that strobes, pos lights and highbeams in black by Lightfix is around 7-10k

the whole bar

[minor minnow]

Wow thats alot

[civic siren]

good thing thats equipment the company does

[minor minnow]

Do you own your truck or is it company owned?

[civic siren]

company

[minor minnow]

Is it hard being a trucker with yk family and stuff?

[civic siren]

i dont have family i dont care

[civic siren]

lightfix is the second most expensive one
if you want the cables to be prepared for the lights they build on it for you they want 400 €
only the bar without LED or anything is 4999€ from what i researched

[minor minnow]

Dang 4999€

[civic siren]

without lights or anything

[minor minnow]

What does your truck look like ingame?

[civic siren]

just the damn metal

[minor minnow]

METAL? For 4999€!?!

[civic siren]

thats something for other chats

[minor minnow]

Oh

Ets2 chat?

[civic siren]

yaa

[minor minnow]

When you work for a company cant you use your own truck if u have one or must i have an own company to use my own truck?

[formal minnow]

Yes

u cannot be driving ur own truck while for a company

unless u are hired as a "charter" as most call it

aka a independent hireable driver with his own truck atleast

[minor minnow]

Alright thanks for the info!

[magic girder]

You can, but its complicated

[quartz moat]

wheres ur company based

[sinful tiger]

Oxfordshire

[summer valve]

Good brake lights

[formal minnow]

plugged one in wrong? XD

[summer valve]

You can't plug the plugs in wrong

[formal minnow]

then why tf its doing that xD

[summer valve]

Idk. Old AF trailer so somehow it's sending signals back to the dollys work lights when I press the brake

[twin drift]

Aaa nope

Ma bad

[formal minnow]

lol

aslong as its not on the rear trailer its fine

[muted shell]

Let it snow

[summer valve]

Luckily no snow yet

[summer valve]

I just unplugged the additional power cable from the trailer

[formal minnow]

[trim mango]

Tanker training 🥵

3 days into it and not sure if trucking is for me 😫

We are doing team miles and my trainer literally does not take breaks

[west drum]

You’ll eventually find the type of trucking you want to do, don’t give up

I personally prefer Dry van/Reefer runs

[trim mango]

Nice ! Have you tried tanker before?

My trainer is telling me tanker is better because you are more respected at the shippers/receivers

[thick cedar]

I just saw those american looking scania trucks

[stark tinsel]

Drivers behind you be like:

[signal saffron]

Tanks are the way to go

[rugged cape]

Paint the work lights red and you've solved the problem

[summer valve]

I just unplugged the additional power cable

[west drum]

Negative, but I’ve got buddies that do, long shifts but more money, and it’s true you’re more respected doing Tanker than Dry van/Reefer, we deal with a lot of miserable warehouse workers 😂
