The 500 HP Raka6 is sooooooooo good, it pulls almost as good as a 560 V8

#

Loaded up to 43tons

#

I personally like opticruise with the 3.80 adjustment

#

The retarder is sooooo good at that setting

#

I'm like 70% sure that this volvo has a dual clutch or atleast according to my driving instructor O_O
I might be wrong but

#

Replaced by Next Gen Scania, with the new dash

#

Hooklift

peak salmon

#

Aaah

peak salmon
#

Yea my school had one but it was for the adults getting their C-CE license

#

and it was also a hooklift, but it had the container with the hooklift chassi adaption to the container

oak bolt
#

Well, i'll be driving the Scania I think once, we will switch with another group on a long trip and drive the other group's truck back

#

Is 500S Next Gen any good? 😂

peak salmon
#

But like, if its the premium interior with either the digi or regular premium dash before the full screen dash, yea, both are good.

And the SUPER engines which are just more uptuned Inline6's is also really good, they do pull.

I only use the auto feature of the retarder🤔 Only using the lever does almost nothing when loaded😅

#

oh

queen brook
#

This was supposed to be an hooklift chassis but the company who ordered it went bankrupt

#

So they decieed to slap a whopping 9.6m inner lenght VAK box on it and call it a day

lean oracle
#

so before hooklift got send to chassis build up company urs bought it and put reefer on it?

#

i mean i bet the truck itself can weigh with them 4axles total like 35tons or smth ?

queen brook
#

35tn ye

lean oracle
#

geez

#

plus trailer similar i assum

queen brook
#

Trailer only 30 something

lean oracle
#

lol

queen brook
#

32 iirc because the max weight for this combination is 68tn

ivory patrol

Or maybe its 72tn, cant remember

If u guys are going on a boat and they want to fasten ur truck do u guys let the air out?

formal minnow
#

Shouldnt matter

#

as they would presumably secure via either straps over the wheels or axles

#

securing it any other way aired down or not would put alot of extra wear and tear on suspension parts

Hey, I am not too sure if this is the best place to ask... But I am in the process of getting my class 1 license (UK) and I am watching a video of someone coupling a drawbar trailer. I think the non-coiled one is the ABS cable but are you meant to just leave it dangling like that? He never goes back later in the video to do anything with it?

lean oracle
#

thats def not good, it can get snagged/drag and get damaged

#

definetly supposed to tie it off to the other cables or something so it isnt dragging so low ot the ground/can get snagged

gusty dust
lean oracle
#

probz a cable from a diff trailer thats further from the truck or such hence it isnt the right size, also looks like that trailer be slid in a tad more before driving off as its pretty far back , so then it would be fully dragging

gusty dust
lean oracle
#

no. trailers behind a rigid truck with a box or whatever can have different types, theres also the one where it has a steering dolly type on front and then rear axle, dunno how they be called exactly at moment

gusty dust

# gusty dust

no, this is for like long trailer so box truck with full size trailer, theres also where its hard mounted basically and doesnt come off

#

you dont have downhill speed control?

elder roost
#

Yeye

regal comet
#

its not

#

maybe you like fiddling with the retarder

elder roost
#

Agreed. Manual hill decent is better. I can stay fully of the brakes with almost any load. But the automatic shit will ride em till they burn

regal comet
#

but its much more convenient in long descents

regal comet
#

it uses the retarder

#

lol

elder roost
#

Until it needs more than that..

#

It aint perfect. Nor is anyone of us as a driver.. but combine the tech and your brain and its dang near perfect

regal comet
#

"Downhill speed control is designed for long periods of braking on downhill slopes. When downhill speed control is operating, the wheel brakes on the vehicle are completely
passive and cool."

#

it only uses the retarder/engine break

elder roost
regal comet
#

scania doesnt use the brakes

#

normal brakes in that case

elder roost
#

Some of them sure do

regal comet
#

not scania

elder roost
#

Yes.

#

It might not be standard tho

regal comet
#

a new gen scania wont

#

I can promise you that lmao

elder roost
#

Mate Ive used the feature multiple times in a Scania...

regal comet
#

for the truck to have automatic downhill control it needs to have a retarder

elder roost
#

Nope..

regal comet
#

clearly you are wrong then

elder roost
#

CRB also gets it..

#

Mate the 660 i drove last week has it. It can be disabled. But still thats an even worse option to just manualy driving.

regal comet
#

okay but how would you even test that it uses the normal brakes?

elder roost
#

No retarder

#

Just crb

regal comet
#

okay but it doesnt use the normal brakes

#

only the engine breaking

elder roost
#

Theres an indicator light.. and you feel the brakes engage..

regal comet
#

yes the engine brake

elder roost
#

Dumbass

regal comet
#

you are slow dude

#

you must have some crazy poor spec

elder roost
#

Yes first full enginebrake>kickdown enginebrake>frictionbrakes

#

Volvo does the same. The Scania system seems to be somewhat better at keeping off the brakes tho.

#

This guy🙃

#

Id love to see tsoi decend a 8% grade at 65ton GVW and not burn up his brakes or retarder

#

Same principles.. even slower and lower

#

His 40 tonner will do fine on engine and retarder alone

#

That might start getting interesting

#

Down a 30% grade 😏😏

#

Gopro mount, good day for some rautakesko

elder roost
#

Brakepads go Brrrr

#

Wait you Finns run 76ton on 9 axle rite?

#

We hardstuck 74😅
Mines a 68 tonner. Longbogie front and back on the trailer

#

Do be like that.. got the 20 ton drive axle for a reason😏

#

Tipping a big load of fibre while overloaded aint great tho.. all the possibilities in the world to get stuck

#

Try a woodchip truck😅

covert mantle
#

That’s part of the fun

#

Or ig “fun”

Love watching bozos tip themselves stuck in easy situations

# elder roost Untill it aint...

I once dropped a trailer off the fifth wheel about 500 feet after leaving the dock door. I always double check the connection now

#

The trailer decided it wanted to try concrete swimming

elder roost
#

Only ever had one messup which was 100% on me.
Lots of breakdowns tho..

#

This week was electrical on the forklift..

regal comet
#

10%

fleet basin
#

And brakes are included in scania service plan so 🤷🏻‍♂️

regal comet
#

typical fleet truck

#

I see u dont have the fancy dash either

covert mantle
#

Don’t need a fancy dash if it still gives me all the info I need

#

I also prefer actual dials and whatnot to digital dashes

#

Digital dashes feel like too much at times

fleet basin
#

Luckily new ones we got have some extras

covert mantle
fickle ingot
#

Like total the wagon and the truck not the load

Mine just has leather seats and infontainment premium Wesh

regal comet
#

can go ahead and remove power steering while you are at it, can still steer without it

covert mantle
#

No need to be rude mate

regal comet
#

just brutally honest mate

formal minnow
#

Bearings gone out slowly

fleet basin
#

Fancy dash would be nice but doesnt really affect drivinh so idc.

covert mantle
#

Just because I like actual dials doesn’t mean I’m broke

formal minnow
#

Leaks air steering

#

“Its fine no need to fix”

formal minnow

In my car dodge12

regal comet
#

I am not talking about the new smart dash

covert mantle
#

I was talking more about the speedometer dial or whatever the hell it’s called

regal comet
#

the digital speedometer inside of it

# regal comet yes the engine brake

Fun talk from the guy, retarder uses gears onto the drivetrain of the truck, ain’t no brakes being used, and engine brake does the engine so yeah, Volvo tough engine brake and hit button it starts shifting back and even then doesn’t use the trucks brakes, it will activate brake lights tough at that point

#

Detarder is fun to slow down slowly when someone didn’t let u past to then get infront and without noise or brake lights slow down

regal comet
#

I know he is taking out of his ass

#

automatic downhill speed control never uses the brakes

covert mantle
regal comet
#

it will go over the set limit without applying the brakes, I have already seen that

covert mantle
regal comet
#

?

#

that’s what the whole conversation was about

covert mantle
#

I thought it was about the retarders

lean oracle
#

Goes fast and abrupt then 😂

regal comet
#

yup

lean oracle
#

Already messed about with train horn today

#

Fun times

covert mantle
lean oracle
#

No, I don’t wanna go over a 100downhill

covert mantle
lean oracle
#

It’s a tunnel yes bit speed is nice to get out but it’s limited at 85 so no power anyways till it hits 85

lean oracle
#

Probz horn blasters kit as 12v but wonder if it got like the wiring n all

#

If so I’m getting it

#

Back of box so more noise but not visible

covert mantle
lean oracle
#

You could tough, 12v system in a backpack, just bicycle won’t with dynamo produce enough power to run the compressor

#

Probz get a battery that can do it a few times and then be out n lugging it around

#

But also ear damage then 😂

covert mantle
#

Then take it downtown

lean oracle
#

Nah that close need that and muffler trust

elder roost
#

Yall sound like you have 3 days experience

lean oracle
#

google :retarder scania

#

it literally is gear driven on scania

elder roost
#

But it still is a pump stator converter

#

First online store orders of the year… and here are the first impressions… i had 49tons of 0-8mm😂 i had to call the owner ”Do you really think this will fit on that cover” bruhhhh💀💀

lean oracle
#

thats a shovel it outta truck type of tarp amount

pseudo bone
#

there is room above

#

😂

#

Thank god it was already paid off so i just tipped it fast and left without leaving any trail

formal minnow
#

lol

#

no pics of how u left it?

lean oracle
#

besides the massive pile blocking the driveway?

fleet basin
#

😂

pseudo bone
#

im never accepting online orders again... shushkekw

formal minnow
#

i mean

#

just dump it on their property and good enough

#

if they dont have a clear suitable spot Shrug

#

not your problem

pseudo bone
formal minnow
#

lol

elder roost
pseudo bone
#

latest picture of my gallery is where buyer said "Yeah there is a large gravelpart where you can dump the trailer and truck" THE LARGE GRAVELPART was some sort of small decoration stuff next to shitty steep ditch

#

i had to dump there

formal minnow
#

Thanks for the circle

#

i wouldntve been able to find the gravel otherwise

#

meanwhile here they just tell em yeah dump it at the closest parking spot to said house

#

not on my driveway thanks

pseudo bone
#

i mean i didn't notice it either in the first place, i thought there was some sort of place where i can turn and drive figure eight with my trailer on. kekw

formal minnow
#

aka drove in

#

then be like "fuk"

pseudo bone
#

i just scratched my head and i sighed monday monday

fast adder
elder roost
#

Might be a bit finnicy but doable

formal minnow
#

but why bother

#

just tip it close enough to where customer wants

#

i wouldnt bother doing a fkload of extra work to try keep it in one area

#

it either fits or it dont

pseudo bone
#

yeah the customer even wanted it all to stay in the gravel part not on asphalt :))))

formal minnow
#

Thats doable if its what

#

2/3 m3 of gravel or sand whatever

#

any more and its going off

pseudo bone
#

i just said that's not possible he started to question why not......

formal minnow
#

and if it was sand

#

id rather have it on asphalt

#

otherwise u lose a good bit in between the gravel

formal minnow
pseudo bone
#

it wasn't possible at all xD

formal minnow
#

people are stupid

#

like sure if i can get it as close to the place u want it

#

ill try my best if u ask nicely

#

but otherwise its going on the fkn curb

pseudo bone
#

im just happy that my vacation continues for the next 2 weeks

formal minnow
#

if u hint ur giving money

#

sure

#

wherever u want it pal

#

and it better be 10 bucks atleast

pseudo bone
#

everytime those online buyers, they have never even seen big trucks, prob like Toyota Hilux max

#

Then they start to ask some stupid questions about why this why that

formal minnow
#

lol

#

i mean

#

i geuss if they just ask if its possible to tip a certain spot and asked nicely

#

vs demanding ull try

pseudo bone
#

i mean its always possible to tip the stuff, but the thing is the customer happy about itawesome

formal minnow
#

yeah

pseudo bone
#

but as youngest driver, im always trying to be calm as possible but this companys older drivers i can just imagine kekw
