[frozen trout]

Depends

[frail zephyr]

Depends on what?

[frozen trout]

Depends on what you fix

Truck, car, plane, submarine mechanic, there are pretty many

[rugged cape]

They are all mechanics

[lean oracle]

Hammer makes u good mechanic too if u ask Jeremy clarkson

[frozen trout]

Kinda of yes

[rugged cape]

Kinda how

[frozen trout]

Stop asking ffs

[rugged cape]

Nope

[formal minnow]

[rugged cape]

Mechanics are Mechanics 👍

[summer valve]

[rugged cape]

Stop asking ffs

[summer valve]

Uboat mechanic

[frail zephyr]

Youre build different in an weird way

[rugged cape]

Thanks bud

[rugged cape]

Lil slippery today

[daring sail]

Safe for driving yes

Are u even supposed to drive on ice

Is that safe

[summer valve]

I've changed bulbs in my truck so

[formal minnow]

(it took 30 minutes)

[summer valve]

500€ + work

[formal minnow]

[rugged cape]

Yes

Dang

[formal minnow]

Hhahahah

[formal minnow]

That bullbar definitely saved the truck from more damage

[lean oracle]

Timber

[daring sail]

I guess it was not safe to drive on ice

[lean oracle]

It was, he just didn’t turn on his 2fd

Just had 1fd on

[paper fjord]

Roads are way too slippery

[rugged cape]

What's that

[rugged cape]

You need to say you are filming with a gopro or they will punish you for using the phone while driving

[paper fjord]

Who will punish me for that

[rugged cape]

Moderators

[paper fjord]

Cant find that rule anywhere

[rugged cape]

Go look at the channel description

[paper fjord]

Wasnt a public road tho

[rugged cape]

Saying that also works

[paper fjord]

Was a private road uo from a farm

Up from farm/ only for people living there

[rugged cape]

I got banned a few times but always had my appeal approved because noone could prove if I was using a phone or not 😏

[lean oracle]

Clearly he’s on a construction road tough, see main road is next to it

[rugged cape]

A Lil wheelspin

[lean oracle]

Hah

Mint clearance

[formal minnow]

L for getting banned each time tho

Needa make sure they remove the warns too

[rugged cape]

Never got one

[formal minnow]

Damm straight up ban?

[regal comet]

u got parkinsons?

[rugged cape]

You drive a lot of different trucks

[lucid birch]

U drive all these?

[daring sail]

Calm down people no need to be jealous. Hes just a rich man who owns all these trucks…

I actually own this truck myself.

[regal comet]

does it come with a buttplug?

[lucid birch]

Ya special one

With rainbow effects

[summer valve]

Perfect for Volkswagen drivers

[lucid birch]

Yes

[daring sail]

Like Rowan

[summer valve]

And you

[daring sail]

I’m afraid my Polo is a Chinese knockoff purely based of the fact there is no engine light.

Therefore I don’t drive a Volkswagen

[summer valve]

The engine light is just burnt out

[daring sail]

Ah its been on for so long.

[cobalt onyx]

Burned bulb

[lucid birch]

I got a new golf

I sold my grey manual shifted golf for an white one automatic with more options on it.

But still same engine and year

But 100k km less on it

[summer valve]

Sorry for your loss

[soft remnant]

is that darth vader?

[rugged cape]

Last thing I'd say I own

[daring sail]

Ye ye mr jealous

[daring sail]

Yes

[rugged cape]

It's ugly

[daring sail]

I see ur in denial

Totally fine

Very human

|| Its so goddamn ugly this thing better be a concept ||

[rugged cape]

||I actually hope it's just AI because someone needs to go to a mental institution if someone designed that.||

[summer valve]

[idle panther]

what's irl trucking like?

[magic girder]

What do you want to know

There is so much to irl trucking

[idle panther]

Just in general, whats the experience

[summer valve]

You sit, drive and listen to music

[magic girder]

The experience is different for every type of transport work, some is relaxed, some is rushed

[magic girder]

In your work, yes, and what i have this week, yes also

[idle panther]

So basically euro truck just without the crashing

(Joking)

[magic girder]

Its bassicly driving a car but much bigger, for people who never have driven a truck it al seems soo big and scary, but once you drive a little, its actually pretty easy, only you have to deal with many extra rules

[magic girder]

A little, although ets2 is much easier with the low ammount of traffic

[magic girder]

Also long days, 10 hours a day is a short day, 12 to 15 hours is considered normal

[summer valve]

Meanwhile me with 5.5-7 hour days sometimes

[magic girder]

Last 3 weeks i started my overtime on thursday morning, last week i had already 56 hours on thursday afternoon, and still had to do friday on saterday nightshift extra

[magic girder]

Is it still clean?

[fleet basin]

Not really 😂

So much salt and stuff on roads 😅

[magic girder]

Was to be expected

[rugged cape]

Road closed due to blizzard

[daring sail]

Who cares just keep driving 😎

[regal smelt]

Good morning

[formal minnow]

[rapid warren]

Jeez darn....

[ornate lotus]

jesus how can you even see anything with all that trash around

[rapid warren]

That's what I'm asking myself too. That's too much shit xD

[paper fjord]

Tbh i started in the passenger seat, but when u drive its a totally different feeling. Its bsssicly freedom

[lean oracle]

How tf u even see anything lol

I seen trucks get shit by cops cuz they had 3 little flags middle of window

Ur window is half of that and 3x as filled 😂

[swift lance]

name of the mod in ETS2?

[rapid warren]

Realism... not game

[rugged cape]

Hour 8 of waiting 😁

[daring sail]

Looks like you didn’t take my professional advice…

Must’ve been a fun 8 hours

[rugged cape]

Where you want me to go

[daring sail]

https://tenor.com/view/step-on-the-gas-f-is-for-family-step-on-it-drive-faster-hurry-gif-24476786

Just send it

Whats the worst thing that could happen?

[devout rock]

crash into somebody else ? or getting flipped by the police ?

[daring sail]

U cant crash into anyone else if there is nobody on that road if its closed 🧠

And Police cant do anything bc the road is closed

Maybe you could add a Snowplow infront of ur Volvo Cotton

[devout rock]

well you can, what if a tow truck or smth else LEO related comes ?

[formal minnow]

yes they can

[devout rock]

its not always that simple irl mate..

[summer valve]

I would definitely have waited for the 8 hours as well

[formal minnow]

the road is closed for a reason

if u then get stuck / whatever

theyll blame u for any further delays etc

best to just wait for a plow to get past

[devout rock]

• it doesnt even bring you any further bc no one will let you in after the road is opened again and then comes the traffic from the other side

[daring sail]

Sorry man but in ETS2 its possible

[devout rock]

thats a game mate

[daring sail]

Time is money though. Gotta risk it all for that dough

[formal minnow]

[summer valve]

Time is money indeed. Hourly pay

[daring sail]

Ohhhh I see 😉

[daring sail]

Oh i didnt notice

[daring sail]

Yeah but just install a snow plow urself that way u never have delays

Add some rocket boosters to the side and nothing can stop you.

Its like im the only smart person in this world.

[devout rock]

stop lying to yourself.

obvs your dutch also.... my guy aint got any braincells..

[daring sail]

Ur saying Dutch are not smart due to their drinking problems at young ages causing the brain to not fully develop therefore causing braincell loss resulting in being an idiot?

[devout rock]

...

[winter crag]

Hello, I have a small question I noticed that some people next to their nickname on truckersmp have such a golden circle with a logo, can you tell me how to set it?

[formal minnow]

Wich golden logo

[devout rock]

you need to be a patreon

[daring sail]

@formal minnow post a picture of the “truck” u drive otherwise mods not happy

[formal minnow]

what

its been posted here so

[daring sail]

[raven gate]

He does not drive a truck

[summer valve]

Had to take our newest trucks speakers out on a test drive

[formal minnow]

[sinful tiger]

Coles & Sons spotted… Mexicano is my absolute favourite in the fleet

[formal minnow]

It is very nice

Theres also a 1:14 rc of it

[sinful tiger]

Hardly surprising

[formal minnow]

Its very nice

Ive seen it in person

@sinful tiger

[sinful tiger]

You absolutely love to see it

[formal minnow]

Its very nice yea

[soft remnant]

[soft remnant]

[restive shoal]

[lucid birch]

Offcourse alloys

Great company

[formal minnow]

Imagine being stuck behind this

[ivory patrol]

15hrs is normal atleast for me

[magic girder]

Making my 30 minutes at home

[inner heron]

Jesus

Imagine weight with trailer

[inner heron]

I absolutely love the color combination used on Kernow

[regal smelt]

I am used to tanks

[magic girder]

Better remove that video before the moderaters see it

Thanks!

[summer valve]

FH5s are honestly so nice

[elder roost]

100% agreed, got the leather dash and doorcards?

[summer valve]

Nope. Don't have those

[elder roost]

Youd love it, makes the cab even better NVH wise. Big diff in a already comfy cab

[summer valve]

I doubt I'd notice any difference

[elder roost]

It is very noticeable. Think of it like a Audi S6 vs A6

[summer valve]

I doubt it'll make my acceleration any faster

[elder roost]

LNG gang🤙🤙

[elder roost]

Lucky😂 gimmie dat for free

[summer valve]

Nah

We just got this

[elder roost]

My colleague has been main driver on my truck for the last 4 months.. hes had a few too many fenderbenders and now im getting it back with all scratched up sideskirts and shit.. kill me

[summer valve]

Feel ya

[elder roost]

Has the gut to blame all sorts of shit too.. "the sun was to bright" "it was dark"

[elder roost]

Saw that sadly...

[summer valve]

Just plain ol' skill issue

[elder roost]

If it was a lovetap in the bottom right i would understand... But up there leftside?? What did he hit? A brick wall?

[summer valve]

Another truck hit my truck

[regal smelt]

👌

[rugged cape]

Don't want leather dash but I got the door panels

[pseudo bone]

Monday starts with good drive (PIMA) contaminated lands... Helsinki - Rovaniemi that's 826km per direction.....

[formal minnow]

i see this video more then my mom

[rugged cape]

Why

[formal minnow]

because ive seen it 4 times in the past week

and ive seen my mom 0 times

[rugged cape]

She left you

[formal minnow]

No

[daring sail]

[weak sparrow]

thai truck styling has changed a lot ngl

went from 6000 lights on the roof to underglows and rgb sun visors

open pipe and pente na turbina as well

also starting to see more eu trucks

like scania and volvo

[tall sorrel]

gosh you've been so lucky to have this small part to protect a little... damages can be more ugly without it .

A friend of mine was hit same place with something like construction stuff and now he got a big hole to fix on the front of his truck .

[summer valve]

The whole left corner is getting changed

[daring sail]

Oh it’s worse than i thought

[hushed matrix]

ouch 😬

[stray rover]

[pseudo bone]

[magic girder]

Nice trip for tomorrow

Mini trucker koleka Meeting

[daring sail]

Worst nightmare.

[summer valve]

Steer tire blowing up is worse

[queen brook]

Lads, its official

Got myself a place driving local finally

Same company but 25.25m combination and pretty much only Finland, and the odd Swedent ripo

[magic girder]

Tipical Antwep

[rain heron]

Seeing these on the road sometimes when travelling around and always makes me wondering, how do Posti's drivers handle those combinations so well?

[hollow horizon]

How did u get him to flash u and beep his horn

[rugged cape]

Because I was driving

[hollow horizon]

Oh cool

[formal minnow]

Nice

[formal minnow]

Whennu see someone record u

U just flash and beep

Even if h dont know them

[hollow horizon]

Nice

[formal minnow]

Best delete lol

before u get a warn

[restive shoal]

no mod no problem

[void totem]

Why would he get a warning

[formal minnow]

because its obvious hes using his phone

and they think thats dangerous driving when its not on a empty road like this

[void totem]

just say go pro mounted to chest and filmed on private land

[zinc sonnet]

[summer valve]

[daring sail]

Such nice weather for the beach.

[jaunty idol]

😦

[formal minnow]

Bro gets spotted nonstop

[daring sail]

He’s a celebrity

You wouldn’t catch me going that fast on a snowy road

[restive shoal]

We wouldn’t even catch you on a snowy road

[rugged cape]

Skill issue

[formal minnow]

thats the difference between heavy ass vehicle vs light polo

aslong as u know what ur doing ull be just fine in a truck going normal speed

[rugged cape]

The problem is when you start sliding you actually start sliding

[formal minnow]

Yes

[lucid birch]

Not even in a truck

As he is a van driver

That works parttime

[regal comet]

more stations should have the height written

[rugged cape]

Anything under 5m is required to be marked

[regal comet]

i know of 3 stations here that are under 4,2 and not marked

weird or I might be blind

[restive shoal]

ollie drives a van?

[lucid birch]

No Capri

Oh it was ment to ollie

Oops

[summer valve]

Just a tad slippery

[queen brook]

Eww absolutely not

Would call it quits tbh

[summer valve]

Good old persmäki

[magic girder]

Oooo, waiting on a towtruck?

[summer valve]

Nah. Got out without a tow truck

[magic girder]

Thats good

[summer valve]

A wheel loader came with a chain and gravel to assist me

[queen brook]

That 2 axle truck behind you was prob shitting his pants

[summer valve]

Blud just reversed it away after like 20 minutes

[rugged cape]

You don't have chains with you? Also it's amazing what gravel does

[sterile flint]

how much weight did you have on your drive axel?

[shell temple]

Who has the electric Mercedes truck?

[daring sail]

Did you crash into the snow smh

[formal minnow]

Not urs tho is it

[formal minnow]

Noone

[frail zephyr]

https://tenor.com/view/mekanik-t3-t3performance-t3mekanik-mechanic-gif-27005492

[regal comet]

what difference would it make

[rugged cape]

Well if it's uphill it makes a ton of difference

[queen brook]

Not on mirror ice really

Warm tires and heavy trailer, gg

[summer valve]

I had a single chain, it's basically for emergency for when gravel isn't available or has ran out

[summer valve]

Had 20.2 tons on the rear axles with tag on normal drive position, so around 17-18 tons with the tag lightened

[queen brook]

Stuff

[summer valve]

Once again they have trusted me with a brand new ekeri

[magic girder]

First is unloaded, now to the yard, swap trailers to unload a trailer of wood

[queen brook]

God bless the weather

[summer valve]

Lovely isn't it

[queen brook]

Yee, yesterday +3 and raining

Froze overnight

Now fresh snow on top

[summer valve]

Exactly. Decided to park up at Gasum and walk to the posti terminal to check the condition and examine if I can make it up to the terminal.

[queen brook]

Kek

Just 4 more months tops

Then it will be party again

[summer valve]

With good luck

But yeah, the walk took 8 minutes there and back. Beats the 1 hour 15 minutes of getting the truck unstuck

[queen brook]

Looking back at this year, no big hopes

I already had my summer tires on

It decided to give us 30cm of snow in overnight

That was late april

[summer valve]

Yup. Fun times

[jaunty idol]

"Trusted me" don't you have like years experience?

[queen brook]

I just hope they find me a return load today

Cba to sit around here

Its kinda ruining the friday vibe

[summer valve]

It's a joke. Considering that I managed to get the newest truck in the company into a ditch right in front of a Posti terminal yesterday morning

Funnily enough, the truck I got into the ditch isn't officially on use yet

[queen brook]

Happens, gotta laught it off ngl

I managed to bend a new dolly once because I took a good old persmäki

Bossman just laughed about it

[jaunty idol]

Alrighty maybe that's why then

[summer valve]

Yeah. Happens to every truck driver in nordic countries at least once

[queen brook]

Tbf it was kinda my fault, should have built up more speed for the uphill

[summer valve]

Yeah. Yesterday was kinda my fault as well. Should have driven to Gasum and just leave it there or at least go assess the road but didn't, and when I realised that there was no gravel whatsoever, I had already committed to and couldn't back out anymore (64tons gross weight) so I just had to hope to get up the hill

But no damage to the truck so all good

[uneven trellis]

Ohhh 😯 that’s a nice truck damnn im too short to go in one I tried to and I fell right out 😭😂

[sterile flint]

length?

[summer valve]

~32 meters

[regal comet]

daf so ugly

[ivory patrol]

But makes good trucks

[regal comet]

probably

[queen brook]

Best in class as far as comfort goes

However going from an XG back to an XF does feel kinda wack, but barely have to sleep here so its whatever

[ivory patrol]

Yeah xf aint bad, but xg is goated

The interior is soo good and exterior too

[queen brook]

Interior build quality can be wack but good enough

[ivory patrol]

Idk havent tested

[pseudo bone]

context: brake valve didn’t work and… well

[summer valve]

@mystic vortex @static condor y'all drive those trucks?

[static condor]

My best friend was a truck driver yeah, I used to follow him with my car on long trips

[summer valve]

@jade tangle have fun

[mystic vortex]

Only co-driver 😥 But not much longer

[peak beacon]

Good Scania my friend drove a similar gas transport only his is not SUPER🤣

[queen brook]

The more the merrier

[magic girder]

Ooo nice

[magic girder]

Pic of last night, only person in the yard

[covert mantle]

I’m working my way into the trucking industry

Got my commercial license

Just gotta wait till I’m older for a proper job, only 19 so far

[magic girder]

I was 18 when i started

[covert mantle]

Learned on a, I think it was a 2014, could be wrong, but a Freightliner Cascadia 10-speed manual

[magic girder]

Would like to drive on of those, but those are a little to big for the work we do

[covert mantle]

Personally I would like to get a Kenworth W900 because they just look amazing, I have one in ATS, but I’m gonna end up with something more aerodynamic when I join a company

Still really good to know how to drive manual though. Lots of companies like it when you can

[magic girder]

I got my license in a i believe 2006 Mercedes Actros MP2 with a 16 speed manual

[covert mantle]

Cool

18 speed sounds both fun and stressful

Would love to learn it tho

[magic girder]

Drives the same as a 16 speed, and 8 out of 10 times you drive it as a 8 speed, or as a 10 or 11, and only split the last few gears

[ivory patrol]

I dont have work today?🧐

[queen brook]

25.25m fits?

Never been there before

Havent looked at satellite either

[ivory patrol]

Hmmm last time i was there it was full where we park. Idk how is now

[queen brook]

Well ill find out ig, need to drop of a few trolleys

[lean oracle]

heh its christmas so i bet it be cramped

but i mean if theres a terminal truck usuually those be unlocked

so u could disconnect and use that to manouver ur trailers

[fading vapor]

Nice trucks can you drift them ?

[rapid warren]

[lean oracle]

please stay away from driving trucks like ever

[fading vapor]

Nah honestly one of the things I want to do before death is drifting a truck with the trailer

[lean oracle]

your gonna jackknife and really quickly see that trailer coming towards ya and crush the cab

[rapid warren]

yeah.... never drive a truck please

[magic girder]

You can drift a truck, but with a trailer you will jackknife, without a trailer, been there, done that

[fading vapor]

Oh

Well that sucks

[fading vapor]

You done that is it harder with a truck then a car ?

[lean oracle]

its just bigger and heavier

rear wheel drive and u can just lock the diff with a button

[magic girder]

Easier, as my car is fwd

[lean oracle]

but its reckless to do it so unles your on a track with safety gear and all u shouldnt do it

[ivory patrol]

nice b link

[magic girder]

Or a closed of company area, and just use common sense

[lean oracle]

yes

[tacit gate]

lol i drifted a scania with winter mods and no grip mods but dont try it with a trailer it just pulls you back

Yes and it usually happens when you dont want it to 😄

Friday night fever

[frozen trout]

Someone has bad day

[summer valve]

You?

[lean oracle]

least it looks nice worked into the cracks of the dash

[zinc sonnet]

"rgbtq" 😂

[frozen trout]

:D

[regal smelt]

If you know how my boss reacted

[regal smelt]

Well I make it more decent later

[rapid warren]

urgh - black

[frozen trout]

How much all those stuff takes up visibility

[formal minnow]

yes

[frozen trout]

Perfect answer

[pseudo bone]

Ye it was actually, trailer was going on its own most of the time side to side

[ivory patrol]

Ikr, my trailer was stuck. Melted itself straight trough ice

[pseudo bone]

I was stuck too, got that morning sweat on

[summer valve]

Feels pretty useless to drive this shift tbh

7 pallets to Tampere. 6 pallets back to Lahti

[queen brook]

Gl btw

12 was quite slippery

[summer valve]

I noticed when driving to Tampere

[queen brook]

Kimalteli a lot

[summer valve]

Yup. Luckily I didn't have to take the B-link with me tonight. That would have been even more useless

[queen brook]

Gotta hate this weather, bouncing all around 0

[summer valve]

Yup. Same. Constant -15°c would be pretty nice winter temperature

[pseudo bone]

25 was like a death note from Hyvinkää - Vihti

[queen brook]

Trailer had no ABS today

Struggle from Sjoki to Mänttä

Kantaties not in good condition rn

[queen brook]

The roads drying up would be mega optimal

[queen brook]

Isnt it always though?

[summer valve]

That as well, yes

[covert mantle]

It was 32°F yesterday here, now it’s 52°F (0°C and 11°C respectively)

[queen brook]

Yee the electrics got a bit messed up I think

Too much salt

[covert mantle]

Whenever I’m doing spotting work I connect nothing but the emergency line

[pseudo bone]

never seen salt this winter, "säästö starts with s"

[covert mantle]

Even at night but that’s cuz the spotting truck doesn’t have an electric line

[queen brook]

Now is the proper time to salt

Not when its -6 and drying

Its mad how bad the winter maintenance has been this winter

[covert mantle]

Sketchy shit in the dark

[queen brook]

This is my first winter driving down here in the south, I used to live in Oulu before and drove mainly up north

No salt after Rovaniemi, roads used to be dry

Here it seems like they just mess them up for the funzies

[summer valve]

Welcome down south. Get used to it

[queen brook]

3 years in mainland europe really did me wonders

[pseudo bone]

yeah, few weeks ago when was the awful snow chaos, almost had an accident with another truck started braking downhill like a crazy, trailer started swinging side to side.. just barely missed trailers turntable

[covert mantle]

Hmm yes let’s mess with the roads that many thousand pound trucks drive on regularly for funzies, what a fantastic idea

[queen brook]

Absolutely no clue how to drive in the winter anymore lol

[queen brook]

They keep salting for no reason causing the road to freeze, then when salt is needed they are nowhere to be seen

Its really bizzare

[pseudo bone]

just "Sukka syyläriin"

[covert mantle]

You can’t help stupid unfortunately

[queen brook]

Almost

Dolly started pushing

Really close to having to fill in an insurance paper

[pseudo bone]

that's fun on high speeds

[queen brook]

I was going under 10 there but it was pure mirror ice

Turned the wheel and nothing happened

[covert mantle]

Can I get opinions on this parking job I did?

[summer valve]

It's even more fun when you press brakes and nothing happens

[covert mantle]

Love when that happens going down a hill

[queen brook]

Eww

[summer valve]

Love when that happens going up a hill but truck decides to go down a hill

[queen brook]

Tried pressing the gas to get it straightened up but to move the mass you need power

Which knowing DAF

[summer valve]

[queen brook]

But yea I was stuck trying to get out of there for an hour

Put on chains, went to find sand

What a struggle

It just didnt turn anywhere, kept pushing. While I was getting sand the front had slipped closer to one of the trucks

No material damage so I think it was a success

Was on the phone with my gf when it happened, apparently she has never heard someone swear so much in such a short time

[summer valve]

Without swearing, it would have taken double the time tho

[queen brook]

Yeah true, power words give you some awesome boost

[haughty ore]

Any UK truckers have any advice for the CPC module 2 I've passed my theory 97/100 but seem to be getting battered in the CPC 2 module 2 everything seems so hard and unknown and the app does even teach anything I've just gotta get the questions wrong to see the right answer any help

[formal minnow]

The practice exam is harder then the real one

If u paid attention studying ull be finea

[haughty ore]

Well, I did really well in the theory test but half the shit coming up on my practice app I haven't ever seen or learnt about so its weird

[peak beacon]

🫡🖐

[ivory patrol]

Better luck next time🤭

[lament creek]

hour or min?
(truck color cool!)

[lean oracle]

Of course it’s a daf, of course it has a warning light

[ivory patrol]

Always has been

[queen brook]

yea next time im aiming to hit the trucks

[ivory patrol]

good

[peak beacon]

2-3 day with all the makeup and details
Ty♥ 🙂

[heady tapir]

In Thailand on vacation. In the main city for the remaining days and the trucks here are mega pimped with rgb lights and neon lights 😆

Would be cool to have that in my country but yeee no

[mint shore]

41,000KM and this is the 3rd time it has a problem.

[summer valve]

@queen brook typical daf, right

[queen brook]

Ehh depends, our new ones havent really had problems

But the 2022 and 2023 MY have had a lot

[spare nacelle]

wow nice daf!

[magic girder]

And i have 360k without any issues

[regal smelt]

35% actually

looks a lot, but isn't

[crystal grove]

Beautiful, DAF always

Top notch

[ivory patrol]

A lot, you cant drive properly with those things

[lucid birch]

@jade tangle do your thing

✨ the thing ✨

Clearly user is using his phone while driving so dangerous!!!

Clearly TimeTimes status is false not always lurking i guess we need @short flame 🫡

[short flame]

Done

[lament creek]

oh.

[lean oracle]

timetimes is nub

[frozen trout]

[weak sparrow]

mostly in only one color

pink green blue or red

rgb is more common as a sun visor

i live in thailand so i know

european trucks in thailand are usually stock

like scania and volvo

[heady tapir]

I’ve seen so many rgb tho

Ofc static color too different colors different places but ya

[weak sparrow]

in 10+ hours i found only 3-4 trucks with rgb

[mint shore]

You're lucky

[summer valve]

I'd suggest reading the channel description

[atomic moon]

Oop, my bad

[jaunty idol]

Guys how do you charge your phones/power banks in Daf XG 2022?

Literally every usb port is so bad i got like 2% in 2 hours, and there is no power at all when you turn off the truck

Ftw

I have only 1 cigarette plug with usb but for my sat nav so can't use it really

I mean 2 slots, just one plug

Only this

And doesn't work when switched off

[formal minnow]

Probably gotta swap fuse from one slot to other for continuous power

[jaunty idol]

Idk i gotta ask my boss if he has some solutions for this, or some driver who got same truck

[queen brook]

Get an inverter

[thick cedar]

[magic girder]

The times i drove the new XF it worked fine for me

[jaunty idol]

Well i can, but dash is light up

Don't know about batteries here, in Scania i could leave it for 2 days and would start up for click

[ivory patrol]

With these

[jaunty idol]

buh it's inverter or what

[ivory patrol]

Yesnt

[jaunty idol]

🤨

[peak beacon]

[blissful locust]

[queen brook]

Gobless

[ivory patrol]

Not that bad actually. Posti’s trailers are 10x worse

[queen brook]

Ive driven with DLK once and it was not pleasant

No turning axle

[void totem]

just say

"go-pro mounted to chest + private road + not my footage"

before posting.

[rapid warren]

🤣

ngl it should be our decision whether or not we drive like this

as in the end - we already did it so warning us would be pretty useless

[formal minnow]

Cuz it is useless

We only do it when safe ofcourse

[rapid warren]

if I deem it unsafe to film I wont. I wouldnt endanger myself just for a small video

[formal minnow]

Weak

If its something cool u must

[ebon arrow]

That’s safest video I have ever seen

[rapid warren]

no.... only if safe - if unsafe my phone stays where it is.

[restive shoal]

you see capri is not that smart

remember he drives a van

[rapid warren]

eh

[rapid warren]

well, that's what I wouldn't do

[cunning willow]

I found some free apple juice. Smells kinda funny and the apples might have been rotten

[onyx bough]

Uh I don’t think that is apple juice.

[cunning willow]

It taste fine

Kinda taste like lemonade mixed with cream soda lol

[narrow tide]

Uhhhh, let me get this straight, you got into your company truck, found some «apple juice» and decided to drink i?…

[elder roost]

Same man.. also you dont find a cleaner record than mine. Just saying

[rapid warren]

Nyep

[elder roost]

Thx for the heads up m8

[autumn wing]

Youtubers been filming while driving on public roads, But does this apply to members here only?

let's say I'm a truck driver but also a Youtuber and I film while driving, What's the consequences for that?

[rapid warren]

you probably will be banned here cuz "ItS uNSaFe to hAVe a PhoNE up whILSt dRiviNG!!11!!11"

meanwhile my phone was always with me and sometimes in use (or my PDA) because thats included in my job

[zinc sonnet]

I'm just warning him as per the rules of this channel. People who upload YouTube videos of themselves driving trucks are capturing their route by GoPros, allowing them to have both of their hands "on the steering wheel". Regardless, using the phone (in terms of holding it) while driving is illegal in most countries and I'm not the one who's soft here, ofc people can use it safely. But tell that to a cop

[rapid warren]

Well, Discord Mods are not cops and they shouldnt be able to warn us for something which only real police authorities should do

and lets be honest - how would a warn stop me from continuing using my phone whilst driving?

I might be at some point in a server less, yet it wont stop me - like at all

[zinc sonnet]

I don't make the rules here but like you said in the end it's up to them whether or not and how they'll use their phones

[rapid warren]

I know you dont - never said you do 😛

guess time to make a suggestion then

what I call unsafe would be ripping out fuses so trucks go past their speed limit (like doing 130 downhill) - thats unsafe AF.

driving chill on an empty highway? not unsafe

[lucid birch]

Rules are there to be broken!!

Lets protest!

[rapid warren]

No, they're not. Rules are meant to protect us. However they try to go beyond and get to my IRL life. That's what's triggering me.

[summer valve]

You drive that?

[frozen trout]

(Impersonating moderator should be bannable rule here :DD)

Next time use #irl-media thank you, if you dont drive the truck you send pic of

[wraith spear]

Must be very old to drive such truck?

[queen brook]

18

[wraith spear]

Ok. Must be very Old to own such truck?

[queen brook]

18

[wraith spear]

[cerulean zodiac]

No, my colleague.

[steel mortar]

Please refrain from Mini/Backseat Moderating as this is violating our rules. §1.9 Backseat moderation thank you.

[restive shoal]

speaking of that and breaking rules what about this #irl-media message

[frozen trout]

And this is not backseat moderation ? #irl-trucking message

[rapid warren]

[frozen trout]

I'd say it is, same context, she ask's question that reffers to the rules, so basically it's backseating as she does something that is moderator's job, in that case if she wants to point out every mistakes someone doea why she dont get mods for her, but whatever

[restive shoal]

That is because Natalie is special

[frozen trout]

Oh right

[formal minnow]

asking a question is moderating now?

[steel mortar]

For random truck pictures, please use #irl-media thank you.

Thank you

[robust moth]

About some weeks ago i take a long trip Sweden-Holland in this

[queen brook]

More axles

[void totem]

Wish this got added into ets2

[magic girder]

Same, i love the CF

[void totem]

Where I live it’s just as popular as the XF because of rigid trucks but also grocery stores that use the smaller cabins..

So yeah would definitely have been cool to see in the game!

[magic girder]

They are ideal distribution trucks, but also large enough to be away in for a week like i do

[formal minnow]

Damm u guys got a proper fuel tank on ur rigids

ours got a tiny little pathetic tank

[jaunty idol]

More weight to pull, more fuel needed

And i bet there is less fuel theft's than in Netherlands xddd

[formal minnow]

Wonder why xd

[primal vigil]

I have seen this truck irl

[teal carbon]

Racist

Can anyone ban this dude ?

[void totem]

[lusty steeple]

[pseudo bone]

i didn't back up quite straight so the "anglegear/koplinki" started hitting over... so I started to correct the position of the truck, BUT the box had come past the locks and the whole trailer was bit nose down, so that's where it came face first to the ground. "beginner's mistake"

[ivory quest]
