Well you asked why do we use wheel chocks/strap it to the dock. Its ok to ask when youre new to hauling
and do u really think that plastic wheel chocks is gonna work on ice? lmao
friction 101
Nice 4/10 bait
In 5 years in my current company we`ve had parking brakes failing on 4 different trailers. So not that uncommon 
okay so u really are a fool
and what happens then…
Well 1 trailer rolled into ditch and flipped on its side
If you say so kiddo
and the emergency brake didn’t come on when the pressure got lost? I call that bs
Who needs them anyway
Trailer still had pressure so nope
then the release valve must have been pushed in
lmao
2 hours late to work 
Average potsi driver
volvo?
Mistake from our boss. Didn't get 45 hours full before 22.00 so I got to work when it was full
Okay so average juitsari*

I like the Volvo
Just a 540hp Volvo
That's a weird truck 
What brand is that truck?
Clearly a iveco
newest opel truck
they made an aerodynamic design based on their old models
Opel🌍
Truck/Lorry?
@regal comet up and down movenent such as loading or unloading can move the trailer regardless if the parking brakes are on or off. Aswell as a second security in case of failure of the brakes.
Opel

I’d say go to work but yea…
Been 3 years since my first lesson. Time flies
3 years for me when i started trucking
Legend, didn’t pass my Class 1 until August the following year but I still count today as my 3 year anniversary since I passed my test a few days later 😂
Nah dude it counts when you started practising
Well then it’s probably my 12 year anniversary playing ETS2 so happy 12 years to me then 😂
Well only thing you cant get from from ets2 is the feel of the machine and connecting/disconnecting things so maybe it does count
I mean I recently found a tasty option for more immersive coupling
That and a direct drive wheel
But tomayto tomarto
Wouldbe nice to buy the moza trucking wheel
natalies next truck
7 years since I passed my license. Time really flies
what a nice name
What
on the trailer
Professional driver training very nice name
in one word?
Yes
damn
Hell nah
Time to crack the rest
1600km total, farthest ive ever driven without unloading or loading
That’s so nice 5 years here
lovely daf
good band
No integrated GPS?
No but there really isnt need for one
Looking that you drive international I'd have thought that the trucks, especially brand new ones have integrated GPS
Awesome
Looks like tomtom, it always gives me some really long detours. But maybe it works better outside Scandinavia
27 km till ring 1 Antwerpen, 59 minutes of traffic
Wonder how they make profit then or are u loaded atleast 
Obviously
Why vabis wheel 
I was talking about the radio
Oh I read brand
But yeah youre right. It works well
Cause sometimes a customer pays well enough to afford it, coworker got send 500 km one way for a pickup to our own yard, customer paid well enough to sent him there empty
Paid per km
I got my license 7y ago. I still think fh3 volvo is much better to drive than fh4 or fh5
Volvo F16 very good truck for you 
Why do u need to take them off
Because they look awful
Because fk france
Back on road after 5 days workshop
Best thing in the morning is waking everybody up with a carrier
Id say a trainhorn
But sure
Is this a work van or a mobile strip club? Geez

Ugly
Literally dumbest thing ever existed, creating fkin sticker in french, to force every country to put them on their trucks, even tho no one understands what it means apart from france
You actually need to use your brain to figure it out if you don't speak french, and we all know, people walking into blind spots don't use their brains, same with cyclists
I mean, is that shit mandatory, we got a few who sometimes go France and they don’t got that crap on
Mechanicn’t
Truckdrivern’t
This cannot be NL!!
It could be
Its just not but it could! Be @daring sail 
“A trailer cant move under loading unloading “
See posts, photos and more on Facebook.
I know, it's mandatory, but in every country it's still in french xD instead of language the contry is using
Or at least in english
Luckly we don't have them on our trucks
Ugly sht
Neither do we
Neither those who drive to France
Least magnetic is the best option then
Haha no it isn’t, that was Germany near the town lunebach. I was on my way to Luxembourg. Then France after that!
Yea i desperately need to change my name
U no longer do mechanic stuff?
Fancy trip i was luxembourg yesterday
Did u sleep then or no tacho
Nope gone into full time driving now
I had Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, France and Belgium yesterday
Do u not have tacho then i geuss
Both sometimes, I’ve done from Netherlands to south of France and back in a day before, but I’ve done Netherlands to Poland with paid hotel and back before aswell
I think it’s more fun for now, I can go anywhere with it. And I always get trips far away which you don’t really get with a lorry in our company
Because 9/10 of them are urgent deliveries
Nope
They are amazing that’s why I think the van is more fun for now
If I’m late yes, normally no
It is indeed, and it weighs 3050 empty
I got to take home yesterday even tho i was done early ish
And then loaded to 5.5
cuz well fraud
Heaviest I’ve been with it was like 6.3 ton total
xDDD
Niiice
They are indeed, the trip to south of France paid like almost 3 grand
Because of the urgency and what it was
Which I can’t say here
I’m waiting
I had to do it in an unmarked van aswell, they had to hire a white caddy to do it hahaha
xD
i mean if its just a small pallet makes more sense sometimes then send a van thatll use 4 tanks to get there
Practice on license instead
I have
More
More gray than blue
just clean the handle to open the door, and off you go 
Let's send it
2 euro pallets
And the snow melts 😦
Gonna snow like half a meter
Sounds fun
its snowing bc snow
You drive that?
Nope, I just caught it
Oh, I didn't see it
okay but next time please use the right channel, thank you 
@noble dirge sry forgot the ping 
Ok
Bro just got bullied Because he forgot to read one sentence
Nub 
Git gud
🌨️
man f you i want snow
snö
☃️
When tf did u destroy ur door
hey truckers can i ask you something
do rigid trucks get paid less than the trucks that carry trailers?
cuz they look easier to drive
Yesnt
Without a trailer, yes.
With a trailer, no
Yes. Atleast here in🇫🇮
Yes but they have less expenses in fuel so often they'll have more at the end of the day, for those that do city driving that is
Last load for the week
I thought you hated snow
Depends
No ur old so u hate snow like every other boomer
Same tbh
I dont hate teh snow
i hate the cold
because shit is so cold here
due to all the moisture in the air
cuz i went outside in -25 in finland naked and it didnt feel cold
vs here where u feel like ur dying
Interesting, i still walk around in a T-shirt 
I do too if not work
Good good
Nieuwegein?
No wait no its not
as that one isnt flat

Nah this is near Tilburg
Ah
Well
do u fit
ive learned from @lucid birch if u go fast enough
itll collapse behind u
If you hit the gas, there’s an automatic feature that does that for you
No weight limit?
xD
And he had not even time to fold his mirrora
3 months ago
handbrake decided to die and it rammed a stone so hard
I mean thats mercedes sprinter for y
damn u drive those?
Which one do you drive?
the one that is not in the picture

Damn you pull trailers with thise 2-axle thingis
Yes? In Switzerland thats normal Max weight 36Ton
ok
we have 50
Swiss Weight is 2axle Truck (18 T) + 2axle Trailer (18T) so 36 But with a 3axle Trailer i Would be allowed to Pull 40T, 40 Is The Normal Limit in Swiss Without the Eco Friendly Enignes & Heavy Duty Stuff.
With Heavy Duty my Truck is Allowed to pull 46 Tons (But not in This Combination)
Ah, you are talking about the axle_config_max_weight_pull - thats another story :3
Im Talking about The Swiss Regulations and What i Am Legaly Allowed, Because Illegal Things We Donk make 😉
understandably 😄
very lovely paintjob choice off your company, i love the design
the electric handbrake is the worst off all stuff
the sprinter so is great but the E handbrake is often failing
then abs sensoirs...
i agree handbrake is weak
Its like That Since 1966 Which is Very Nice and The Logo Is Since The Company Founding in 1931.
I Appreciate It Very Much To Work For this Company Because its Very Known in Switzerland For Its Heavy Cargo Like the Machine for the Gotthard Tunnel. Which Was Transported by Us
has been on each generation
on the 905 i drove the handbrake was still good after 1.4 mil
ah fair
goofy ah
@formal minnow this had a strong handbrake
those combos mainly on lights stuff
Yeah, because you cant fit anyting inside of them
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l56VuCn5YZ0 best sound off vans out there
OM605 6mm pump & hx35
i now read the title, it is from the W202 benz lol
love this thing but sadly no more avaible in company
since now we mostly go to the 907
Yeah that model sucks
First stop for tonight
Oh someone is driving between switzerland and italy through the Gotthard pass .
I own them
The first one
Hey, Atm im Only Driving In Switzerland but i Was Sometimes Through The Gotthard to get into Ticino.
Was also on The Gotthard Twice But Thats an Experience for Itself
Ah, i Just Recognized.
Did you Say that because of the S - Transit Sign?
Volvo??
Nah, sizu 
Thats a ford
your wrong
Wrong pic
yes that was for that
those fords are made in turkey
ok
Average mercedes
Youre Done 
🙏🏼
Switzerland stuff
swiss cheese
Yes Swiss Cheese is Better Than Those Weird Dutch Ones 😉
You Began The Fight 
you started
Dear Kringspier, as an Swiss Neutral Person i Would like you To Sign under This Message to Declare the Fight as Finished with the Result that The Swiss Chesse is The Best and The Dutch one is Better than Gorgonzola.
Sign Here
When Somebody Attacks you Do u Just wait and Sit Still?
do You wanna Make an other Trade offer?
abolish swiss cheese and replace it with gouda and beemster cheese
Switzerland just kinda sucks
Bros arent letting us into Gotthard tunnel
I have places to be
Why not
Dunno, they were arseholed

Ask in #support

Quite a fast truck to get from here to Bleiswijk ngl
Parked for the night, same spot as last night
Nop

New HCT truck, yes
Fancy! 
I can't wait to get MY first truck 
guess around 1st / 2nd Week of January I know more
🔥🔥🔥
XF105 for the win
artsy
fr your truck is the best
Unload 101: unhook your shit
This has happened to me and the guy came and lifted the container almost immediately after I put the park brake on
Sleeping time
Yeah usually we unhook before going to it if it’s not a hit switch wait till they come, least this one depending on driver we only get out when sign in and give freight bill, stay in nice warm cab
First snow of the year, country is a complete mess
Non here but coworker who works night said he got rained on hailed on and snowed on trough the night
no way is that a new truck or did u get some aero on the top or whatever u call that
Forza Italia
Thats new lol
just low cab, flat roof
Best place to spend the night
no, at home.
and no dont call ur truck a home
🏠
You never have slept on a dike, when there is hard wind and is around freezing
And my truck is my second home
sounds fun
My polo would fly away
It is, fresh sea air is the best to sleep with
Yes, thats sooooo nice
ollie, i slept last week and monday in truck, last week was late to office at evening, monday i decided imma sleep there as home hot water dont last long and shower at work has infinite hot water, truck nice warm blanket and a good pillow, sleeps freaking golden
heck woke up to rain pelting on my roof and passed the frick out instantly again
an fuel line
Sign me up please
Fuuuu...
U ok?
Wasn't me
He's fine from what I've heard. Leg was clenched apparently
This was the truck involved. My first truck in this company
Oooo, thats not good to see happen to a coworker, hope he gets well soon
Unload at a camping they said, should be fun they said
"Well, dear colleagues, even though the pictures look bad in the news, we managed with little and here we are waiting for treatment.
That otherwise everything is fine."
He sent this to our company group 40 minutes ago
It happens 🫡, main thing is that the driver is ok, you can get new trucks and Parts, but not new drivers
2x Scooters
Thank god i dont have to use those containers anymore
Not a bad spot to be parked in a traffic jam
Drivers are also replaceable
You serious ?
All I'm saying is that's what all companies think (at least here in America)
All companies ?, like every company in the whole country ?
Come on man, pull yourself together please, you cant be that dumb to think like that
That's just ridiculous
Idk what ass companies you've been in but, i can guarantee that they all dont think like that
The only companies that don't think like that are the really small moms and pops companies
Dude american companies don't care, the only reason American workers even get decent is due too regulations imposed by the government like if not for those all workers would be underpaid and over worked (which they already are) but it would get much worse
All this is coming from someone who has great pride in their country
danng!!!
awesome!!
Fuel
Yea but in generally, if your country thinks that it's best to have opinion like that, it doesn't mean that you have to agree with the rest, like, can you even imagine what you sound like, when you your opinion style about company drivers is idgaf , you wont get very nice reputation in the community, wont ya?, I'm not even surprised if there's not very spectacular wellbeing in the companies in USA
Also, the crash happened here in Finland, so, yes we take care of drivers here, if not all then 90% of truck companies do, from what i have heard
and experienced
Only big houses try care what i have seen.. meny companys has left tes behind and solved own. Payment is going down all logistics sectors
Ready for winter 
Brand new too? Boss got da bag
@jade tangle scam
How do u know its a scam and not someone trying to sell trucks??? Did u try to buy one?!!?

Is the trailer from VAK?
Piako if I remember correctly
In the 8th episode, I drive the Iveco S-eWay (738 kWh) from the North Sea to Lake Constance and back. This time with all the charging data and costs of the tour. On Friday, I have the unique opportunity to drive an overhead line truck. Everyone has an opinion on it, but very few have ever driven one.
This video is rewritten, re-edited, and dubb...
i wasn't driving
i honestly don't know, got it for free 
yep, middle of nowhere its legal park middle of the road actually
Hehe
How does one manage to get a whole vabis wheel for free
Stealing

Arent they uncomfy
Steering wheel is steering wheel lol

Gotta sacrifice for the cool factor
Cool?
u saying a 3 spoke isnt cool"?
Nah they arent
id preffer a comfy wheel
Hi fellow truckers
hi
A old 3 spoke is pretty comfy, and gives you really great steering/ and also really good control as they are most time larger than stock
Trailer do be on fire
No buttons tho
And on a cold day id preffer a leather wheel cause metal is cold
Tededem
It has 1
They are not made of metal
See posts, photos and more on Facebook.
Really,
Yes, maybe the reproduction ones are, but original ones are not madd of metal, and i can know, as i have a original one in my 1968 Scania
Oh alrigth
They are made of bakelite, with a steel core
Mh
Work week done
Flashing lights
Assume they work as running lights tooo?
Nah
Ah
tought would be like a static mode or smth, give it some touch
Looks like they work good tough 😂
@magic girder why is the daf seat so ass
I love mine
Nothing beats Scania
I'm not sure Natalie agrees
Except pretty much anything
its fine
you just need to put it right
with the cf i suggest putting your bottom cushion a bit pumped up
My man hauled a ferrari and left it on the middle of the road on it’s trailer
Parked next to an old gem aswell
Probz unloading close and although ass only spot to leave it?
Yeah he was loading or unloading at a garage a feet away
Yep shit spot but can’t do crap bout it, wonder how they got the Ferrari on trailer as low trailer it ain’t, and those usually have a steep edge wich is fine for normal car but not a Ferrari
Probz a lot of gentle driving curse words and wood cribbing
Time to fix the truck :)
Lol
Why
Not a busy day
Doesnt that suck that you dont have jobs
i mean yeah, its kinda boring but i still get paid the same so it wont really affect anything other than me being bored
Oh okay so it doesnt matter that much then
Its trucking time
the best time
I have to pickup trash though 😔
other peoples work in a office though 💀 that's a scary prospect
Id rather be in a office than pickup more trash, luckily today is my last day picking up others trash :)
Hopefully i get my new truck soon too
maybe one day you can drive like Natalie
three trailers
3 trailers not that big of a deal
We’re u atleast driving?
Mostly yes
Koleka van is back
its not koleka, its simply just ugly and illegal 
if you get caught and with that amount of lights its just a question of time you will be and you have to remove everything. Also that must be disturbing whilst driving in a disco ffs
lucky you then 
and then there is me - I got caugh with a red poppy
"Is ReD iN tHe frOnT WindSHIelD!11!1"
how tf is yours allowed but I had to pay 150€ for the poppy as fine
I have em too

You what
yeah, I had to pay 150€ as fine for having a red poppy + had to throw away the LED part - the poppy itself was fine
Only fine o had for a 2000 lumen highnbeam
What country
Austria

time for sweden 
Don’t move to Germany either
would never 🤣
Feds pull me over but can’t do shit to me
I'd rather kill myself before I go to germany
visiting is ok
but moving there? no
hell no
I might move to Poland
So I can do maximum trolling
But for that I need 2nd battery due my Turk flute is eating power
Nah, Poland wouldnt be a country I'd feel well
Sweden / Norway is rather something I'd go with
By me either Finland Netherlands or Poland
Just get a better alternator and run it straight from taht to flute so it won’t take power from battery?


You tried
Illegal in UK aswel, every 2nd truck i pass has something red in the windshield so 
I did indeed.

I could extend this but that'd lower the chances staying on this server 🤣
What led did u get
Cuz all ive seen so far is one poppylight with one cig plug
Aka if i got more then one i need 5 fkn slots to put plugs in
They are available with a cig plug, usb, or loose wires
i needda get a adapter as im getting leds so yeah
You need to order them with usb and loose cable online
I was thinking off it
I think theres something wrong with my tyres
Same shit here m8
Is fine
Is just spare
Oh okay. Thx
overtake a government is what you mean
Guess time to read out my driver card today, tacho just etold me it’s time 😂
Yes
I just plug this usb in the slot and that's it
I ordered mine from amazon with usb, instead of cig plug
Ok ty
Maxing out my driving time

When u really dont want to open the side
(Ive never even opened it so dont know how to close it) 
even i know how to open and close a curtain sider
I didnt close those properly when i had to haul those 💩 trailers

Never have
Ofc the side straps is easy but rest no clue
Got to test our newest scania for a day 
Damn, Why did Scania got this Ugly?
I would rather take the old cluster as well
But cant get Scanias without those screens anymore
screens looks fine to me
but
is it actual parking brake lever?
i thought new ones will have a button instead
and all the trucks will need to have buttons till 2025-26?
I'd rather have a lever instead of button
i Drive an Scania Streamline, The Last one from our Company at my Location and i Am so Willing to Drive it till it Dies
same
i would be trippin with button
thinking if parking brake is on, or not 
is that some new EU bullshit
bruh
have u seen volvo's new FH and mercedes benz new actros? both latest ones? gosh i swear it ruined the style
it would only look good if we had flying cars already
Both of those looks great af
Could you tell me more about how the timer works?
Is that 4 minute rest how many minutes you've rested for or how many more minutes you're allowed to rest for?
or is that 4 hours idk
too high tech looking
Don't see the problem with that
I Once Had to Drive Without any Assistance because The Rear View Cam was on the Second Screen from the MErcedes and There is Normaly all The "Helping" Stuff like Hill Assistance and the Weight Controll, Clima etc.
i think he wants to go back to the f12 model
That's too high tech. Donkey and a cart is where it's at
he should carry everything on his own
i mean it beeps just like lever if u get out not engagede, turn ignition off and it goes off itself, hit gas slightly slowly and then again and it disengages
lmao sounds like forklift i used to drive 
sad
afaik parking brake lever is unsafe, and all trucks will need to have an e-brake before certain year

what if the electronics having the e-brake working fail 🤔
while you have to park on a hill
i mean annyoing is with parking lever is u forget u then pul it up
ebrake u think tap gas slowly and drive off and have a tire spin and not move
its annyoign sometimes cuz it wont disengage the same way ais it did the other times
You turn the truck off and the parking brake engages. What if a lever e-brake lever fails?
What is a driving time?

i don't know, im not a fan of this sht
brake lever, is brake lever. you pull it down and you know it's not going anywhere
brake button, is brake button. you pull/push it down and you know it's not going anywhere 
no chance i will trust this thing while quickly pulling forward, to jump out of my cab to close the doors or something 
i need to pull it down with my hand, not finger
to hear that "click"




I've never had any issues with the electric parking brakes. It turns on when I need to and disengages when I need to. It's not rocket science
well it's all about habits, design and geting used to new features
i guess button is common in volvos since years
so if I would learn on volvo, probably i wouldn't complain rn
Except fo abs and ebs
dont you drive a volvo
or a scania
scania
what year
2019
swap trucks?
huh 
can't lie, it pulls really nice, but it's not good truck to live in
at least R series fleet spec
Okay so, the top left is how many hours i have driven below that of the week
on the top right theres the break / rest icon u can drive 4,5 hours before u must take a mandatory 45 minute break
after that u can drive 4,5 hours again and twice a week u can drive 10
so u can do 4,5 45 min break 4,5 30 minute break 1 hour
u can also take the first break split so 15 minutes and then 30 minutes
and only in that order
my grandpa's old wheel out of L71 Scania
so u can do 4,5 45 min break 4,5 45 minute break 1 hour*
After a 4.5 hour drive, you need to have a 45 minute break. So, after you have driven 9 hours already in a day and need to drive for 10, you need to have a 45 minute break after a thr latter 4.5 hour drive. But you can split the 45 minute break into two parts, a 15 minutes break and a 30 minute break.

4.5h driving, 45 min pause, 4.5h driving (and twice a week if it was a short week before -> 45min pause, 1h driving, then resting)
Our 5y old volvo has problems with electric parking brake all the time 🙃 But we use it so many times in one day when doing deliveries to homes etc. So the switch worns out quickly. 🤔
And I've had a parking brake lever fail on me so 
i see the problem already, neither of you drive a renault
9months for a 100k? i did like 40ish in 3months in my volvo 🤣
and i dont drive far like u do
you drove it yourself? or your truck is being used day and night and from 40k, you did like 20
?
no way hes done 40k with those short trips he does lol
just me
no one drove my truck except one day it had to go to the dealer so like 40km i didnt
might be short trips but if u start driving every 30mins for 30/1hr u can still cover lots of grounds
not 40k lol
doubt
Helloo
thanks for the explanation
np
Pretty interested in learning more about how trucking works. Spending the day on the open road is pretty appealing lol
Depends if ur unlucky and in traffic all day 
Haha not American so the traffic ain't too bad here
I was worried about self driving trucks being a thing but I see IT and other industries being automated long before a truck can drive itself
im not american either lol
oh sorry for assuming lol
If you are in certain parts of europe traffic can be pretty bad too
I'm from NZ so outside of like our two main cities there's not a lot of traffic
If you are in the Netherlands everything around the middle of the country and around the large cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht is always hit with lots of traffic, Belgium the same around Brussels and Antwerp, Germany has lot of traffic around the Rurh area.
Last week there was almost 1000 km of traffic here in the Netherlands, which is a lot, normally its around 600 km
wrong channel bud
Partially same here too
DAMN, dawp[okdawkopwak sorry
If youre in traffic youre in istanbul
If youre not in istanbul youre not in traffic
Istanbul traffic
if there is istanbul there is traffic
if there is traffic there is istanbul
if there is no traffic there is no istanbul
if there is no istanbul there is no traffic
most traffic in rotterdam can be avoided tho if u know ur way around the roads where ur at at time of traffic
Does it matter though? Do you get paid by mile or hour?
Hour? Why tf would u be paid by the mile
Depending what u haul u could be crawling trough city’s with heavy loads at night and not cover much ground, or be delivering container with small boxes in it not on pallets that take 8 hrs to unload, pays be shit then
1.This is a special calendar for urgent jobs. Thanks to this calendar a job can be ordered on the 7th and delivered on the 3rd.
- Most jobs are supposed to be done by Friday, thereby there are 3 Fridays in a week.
- Six new days have been added to every month, this way you have more time for end of the month shit-shit-panicjobs.
- There is no 1st in the month. Thereby we avoid late delivery of last months shit-shit-panicjobs.
- Monday with related hangovers are canceled. Same with improductive Saturdays and Sundays.
- An organisational day (real Friday)(meetings) has been added. This leaves all other days for non stop PANIK!
- There is no Friday the 13th.
To add, you can always work according to the principle
"He who doesnt need to do it himself, CAN do anything"
This!
We do some deliverys by tonnage. Some by "load price"
And some by hour..
ahhh ok thats very good
Hour
their good if we got flying cars already to catch up with their style
Sooo? Normal driving???
You try to be your best an not a filthy hourthief?
I understand that I was just wondering if getting stuck in traffic is a cost to the driver or not
@lost crow @lost crow
Yeah it was Like driving in the 1980 And even the Climate was on 18 Degrees
Well, i already hear it, they don't have to give you a manual transmission
?
Cause the mirror cam did not work and its like you are in the 80's
no
When was i Talking about a Mirror Cam? I Normally Drive an Streamline which i Love because it Works and Doesnt has Thousands of Assistance etc. in it and Most Time Works (Only Most because i became an Call an Hour ago that the Turbo got Destroyed...))
Shit driver probs
Oo your swedish
😍
Yes?
glorious sverige, FÖR KUNG OCH FOSTERLAND
Feels so good to be back driving a Volvo
Im getting the LNG pump replaced this week, so im stuck with a FH3 for the week
If there is space, there is space
Had to drive a Scania last week for couple of days 
I like em, drive one on weekends. Hooklift
I don't. Too many issues
Something different than a box or curtainsider
Look at it this way, easier strapping and u ain’t unloading anything
This is the reason you didn't post any pics from last week
?
Rate my latest Cargo :)
illegal
That’s right lift up 3axles and turn
Sure :)
thats the best 🙂
I love Illegal Cargo that is somehow allowed :)
True

( mods pls don’t delete it, it’s in response to his message )
And who did this
Don't know, don't care
Ok and?
Okay nevermind I just assumed you cared about it
I'm not an insurance company so why would I care?
U aren’t annoyed about it?
It's not my job to care about who crashed into my truck
I am but I still don't care about who did it
Sorry I just noticed what I typed
What would I even do with that information?
Idk how to explain it but my tiny brain is not so smart
We noticed that yeah @daring sail
Well, that was close, only 1 minute of driving time left
Ur iq is worse
What happens if you are on the highway and ur minutes run out
I’ve always wondered
You will try to find a parking before hand, if that fails and you run out, you keep driving till you find a save spot, and make a printout of the tacho and write on the printout the reason you went over time, and you keep that printout with you for 56 days(old rule was 28 days)
In my situation i arrived at the delivery company with 1 minute left,
Oh I thought you had to pull over and the truck wouldn’t go anymore for some reason
But that would be unsafe
Your truck will stop

I reported my self to the guys at the desk, and i had to wait anyways as i was 50 minutes to early
You just can keep driving, but it will be on the driving card you broke the max allowed time, if you get pulled over for a inspection you will need to have a valid reason why you went over, thats why you make a printout
56 days start next year don’t it?
And best thing is also when going over your hours is compensate it with extra rest
Yes
I gona get a ordner for my truck, keep them in my wallet currently
Have 6 printouts currently
Also when going overtime, its best to avoid it, if it happens like once or twice a month for like 5 to 15 minutes with a good reason they don't care as much, if it happens daily, then you will be screwed in a inspection
That's not even close. You had plenty of driving time left
Yea, 1 minute
Yea, plenty of driving time
This was close enough for me

hi
Thats just perfect
I hope I never get in that kind of a situation 
Sometimes you just do

@daring sail as u see nothing happens if u go over
Besides it giving warning
Untill police stop u and check tacho atleast
write something on the paper, that should work i've heard from legos and auke
boys we found the person who will replace capri sun as the van driver

hey truckers may i ask you something
how many degrees of steering rotation does your european trucks have? because if my logitech g29 has 900- i heard some trucks have 720 degrees so i might change it
To be honest, i never counted, but i believe my truck has 900 degrees, but don't know to be honest
ahh ok
The one I had in my drivers school had 900
Was a MAN TGX 18.360
dangg didnt know maurice is hauling already
1080° on Mercedes Benz Actros
900° on everything else
really? i thought it was 1800
and i think i saw a trucker on tiktok that has 720-740?
It's 900°. 1800° would be like steering a Titanic
lmaoo fr
so theres no 720?
Not from what I know
I am not a trucker but saw a video demonstrating truck steering from center to right 2.5 rotation which is 1800° lock to lock.
1800?!
From lock to lock. So, it's 900° rotation
In January, yes. For now I am stuck with a 3.5t Sprinter
sprinter..
Yes?
Well, what else? 😄
There are many variations how to utilize such a van. Transporting persons, hauling goods (in my case Parcels) and yuh....
inchresting
interesting 
Also I did yesterday the professional driving test, so I couldn't drive this year anymore. But already got companies who are interested in me
mercedes has very good turning radius
Just to be clear as me and @timid hedge have g29 and in game animation is 900° which perfectly fit lock to lock 900° 
G29 is 900° from center to lock or 1800° from lock to lock.
Lock to lock = dead end left to dead end right. Correct? So it's 900° lock to lock. About 1 ¼ rotation from center to right\left
Ye, mb, I remember that it was 900 from center to lock, mb. but yeah, 900° is plenty enough for trucking sims
Only truck that I know of irl that has more than that is Actros
Thank you for sharing

Use diesel
In episode 9, I'm driving the Iveco S-eWay (738 kWh) on long-distance routes again and checking the suitability of the public charging infrastructure for everyday use. For the first time since I started at Nanno Janssen, I'm also driving a diesel truck and can therefore make a direct comparison with the electric truck. There's also progress on t...
@sudden citrus try to remember not to take photos vertically
