[formal minnow]

Hammer no fix?

[lean oracle]

[elder roost]

Might be the classic lose nut on the solenoid

[quartz gulch]

Pulp loaded, 20 straps and direction Trelleborg :)

[formal minnow]

Pretty sure ur not meant to crush that

[quartz gulch]

naaah it's ok

it must be this tight

[formal minnow]

They dont forcw u to put corners on?

[quartz gulch]

nope

only on paper

[formal minnow]

Im geussing this is gonna get made into wet pulp again for further processing so it dont matter

[quartz gulch]

everyone from our company secures it like that, no one has ever made problems

[formal minnow]

Fair enough

I wouldnt even secure it tbh xD

[quartz gulch]

yuuup, it's heavy but can make some problems

this one one photo is 24t and the highest I've ever loaded

mostly I load lower and heavier (about 28-30t)

[formal minnow]

Ive strapped things like 3/4 times in truck so far since february

And once it was purely cuz it was a machine

So wasnt gonna risk it for the 30 min drive even

[rugged cape]

Yep

[lean oracle]

I mean usually there’s a sign or sum in there but cuz is non = why my message

[rugged cape]

It says Wide load when I turn it on

[lean oracle]

Ah

[cyan barn]

Miss going on road trips with my dad in his long truck. Genuinely hope someday I meet a real life truck driver lmao

[lean oracle]

Hello scammer

[glacial gazelle]

Hi can someone who’s real truck driver from europe answer me one question?

[formal minnow]

sure

[elder roost]

Have at it

[glacial gazelle]

Okay so why do truck drivers on highways like to overtake other trucks in the moment when cars are coming close to them? It feels like they are doing it just for fun

[summer valve]

Because no matter when we do it, at the end there's still a car behind us at the end of the overtake.

It's not against the law to overtake on a highway so

[glacial gazelle]

Yeah is not but they make it dangerous bc car in left lane drives 130km/h and then truck switches into left lane right when car is getting close and then all of the cars need to brake from 130km to 90km or 80km and then they have to sit there behind that truck for some time

[elder roost]

We don't have a choise most of the time.. we also have to carry our momentum rather than reaccellerate. The overtake happens when it happens. And if this is such a big deal to a car.. the car is the one with a problem. Not the truck

[elder roost]

Yeah.. you don't own the road.. nor do we.. cooperate

[formal minnow]

Because if we wait instead of one car

theres suddenly 50

and then were stuck behind the foreign illegal driver doing 20 under

[elder roost]

@formal minnow Fact

[formal minnow]

only some time if theres several trucks we overtaking at once

but thats safer then cutting into someones gap each single time just to let the cars pass where we gotta slow down again

i overtake everyone usually

so if its only 2/3 km difference i might wait a bit

as itll take longer but if theyre doing 80 where im doing 90 im just going past everyone at once

[elder roost]

Well. I rarely overtake at all on the highway..

[formal minnow]

as itll take a minute and im past 10-15 trucks

[glacial gazelle]

But isn’t it better to wait for 3 cars or 1 car to pass and then overtake?

[formal minnow]

No

[glacial gazelle]

Why

[formal minnow]

because i see all the other cars behind that car speeding

and catching up to said car

[elder roost]

No because then there's other cars..

[formal minnow]

and im not waiting for 40 cars to pass me

Look at it this way

dont order shit

and i wont be in your way

[glacial gazelle]

No u dont understand what I’m saying

Listen

[elder roost]

We understand.. but we don't agree

[glacial gazelle]

No no u are saying like there are 20 cars behind im saying only 1 car in left lane or 3 cars

[elder roost]

F the potatoheads that are bummed out by trucks passing

[formal minnow]

because by the time the cars passed us

theres 50 other cars already

as theyre clearly speeding

[glacial gazelle]

Man

[formal minnow]

while the single car isnt

[summer valve]

Leave 15 minutes early if you're in a hurry. If not, then just wait for the truck to pass

[formal minnow]

just like you

[elder roost]

Thsi

[formal minnow]

i got places to be

idc if i can legally overtake or not

im not sitting behind someone doing 80

75

70

85

[glacial gazelle]

U can’t wait for 5sec?

[elder roost]

If the overtake is legal.. it's legal. Deal with it

[formal minnow]

if i start my overtake 5 seconds before ur there

id still hit u

[summer valve]

U can't wait 15 seconds?

[formal minnow]

as u all somehow slow down while passing trucks

[glacial gazelle]

Yo I wish is 15sec it takes like a min

[formal minnow]

now to you

why cant u move over when its a 3 lane

and i turn my indicator on

[glacial gazelle]

Bc one truck is going 80 and other 82

[formal minnow]

and the left lane is clear

forcing me to slow down

[summer valve]

Then wait the minute

[glacial gazelle]

Only 2 lane here

[formal minnow]

okay but im not talking about a 2 lane part right now am i

[elder roost]

You do realize I'm 66tons fully loaded.. no such thing as quick acceleration.. I'd rather not brake and wait..

[formal minnow]

u complain yet car drivers do the same shit to trucks

to slow us down

[glacial gazelle]

And then 50 cars are behind suddenly waiting

[formal minnow]

okay and

[glacial gazelle]

But I am lol

[formal minnow]

if they all pay attention

[elder roost]

Boo hoo

[formal minnow]

as soon as my right indicator goes on

they can speed up

and within 20 seconds most of them are past me

and 20 seconds more theyre all out of my vision

[glacial gazelle]

Okay so what u are saying u do that bc u can and don’t care about car driver?

[formal minnow]

u guys can go way faster then us stop crying

[formal minnow]

Correct

i do not care about car drivers

ive got places to be you got places to be

be nice and give a truck some room

[summer valve]

Car drivers don't care about truck drivers either

[elder roost]

Correct. If you want to believe that then sure

[formal minnow]

flash them over if you let them go

[glacial gazelle]

Yeah even if u are doing it dangerously

[formal minnow]

instead of tailing close into my blind spot

because thats just causing more traffic slowing down then it speeding up as

[formal minnow]

The only times my overtakes were dangerous

is because the car comming wasnt doing a 100

but a 160

[summer valve]

Nothing dangerous about overtaking on a highway. You got brakes on your car

[glacial gazelle]

Yeah trucks do slow down everyone when trying to overtake

[formal minnow]

so its not my fault if he arrives faster then expected

[formal minnow]

AND?

[glacial gazelle]

It is when u cut quick

[formal minnow]

we move back to the right

[elder roost]

No shit

[formal minnow]

u floor it back to 130

and ur gone within 15 seconds

stop fkn crying

u lose 0 time

[summer valve]

You got brakes on your car

[formal minnow]

unless im doing 82 overtaking 50 trucks at once doing 80

then yes itll take time

[glacial gazelle]

Yeah just wait for 4 cars to pass and then overtake when there is nobody behind

[formal minnow]

bro u dont listen do u

by the time theyre gone

theres another row of cars

stop being stubborn

give truckers some room

be nice

[glacial gazelle]

Yeah but still not everyone can brake that fast in short time

[elder roost]

Why are you such a crybaby..

[formal minnow]

[summer valve]

And by the time the 4 cars have overtaken, theres 40 cars behind you

[formal minnow]

Then u shouldnt be driving

💀

[glacial gazelle]

Can u listen what I’m saying lol

[formal minnow]

truckers are always paying attention

the only people we cut close to is the other trucks already overtaking

we cut infront of them but only if they see us and give us a flash

[glacial gazelle]

Bc is dangerous what truckers are doing XD

[summer valve]

You're not listening to what we are saying

[formal minnow]

we dont do that stuff infront of cars

[glacial gazelle]

Yo is not

[formal minnow]

okay so why are most truck crashes caused by cars

[glacial gazelle]

Do u understand

[formal minnow]

doing stupid shit

because they cant wait 15 seconds

[elder roost]

Okay. Go live in a padded room

[summer valve]

Car drivers do much more dangerous crap than truck drivers

[elder roost]

It's not a contest to be fair

[formal minnow]

https://www.nu.nl/313478/video/auto-slingert-over-belgische-snelweg-en-laat-vrachtwagen-kantelen.html?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F look at this video for a example

[glacial gazelle]

Nope 5 times truck driver tried to go in a left lane while I was right next to him

[formal minnow]

just because the van cant wait 1 minute

now everyone can wait hours

[glacial gazelle]

So they almost smashed into me

[formal minnow]

Okay

so dont stick in their blindspot

[elder roost]

@formal minnow He does not drive a truck and hence wont understand.. give up

[glacial gazelle]

Is not

[formal minnow]

because your barely overtaking then

otherwise theyd not hit u

💀

[summer valve]

Let me guess, you were riding their blindspot?

[formal minnow]

he was

[glacial gazelle]

No bruh

[formal minnow]

theres no way your speeding past and that happens

[glacial gazelle]

U dont understand

Can u listen???

[formal minnow]

or your doing 60 over the limit

where the trucker cant see the difference in speed

so its the cars fault either way

[glacial gazelle]

Bro

[formal minnow]

Your not winning this

Lmao

[glacial gazelle]

I am

But u won’t listen

[elder roost]

Ehm no

[glacial gazelle]

I’m going 130km that’s the speed limit im passing truck as usual and then he turns on left signal and start to go in my lane while im next to him

[formal minnow]

Do u even have a license

[glacial gazelle]

How is that fine?

[formal minnow]

If your doing 130

hes not going into your lane

hed have seen u and wait

[glacial gazelle]

But he did

[formal minnow]

ud be past him in 5 seconds

u are not going 130

ur going 2 km faster

and then as soon as u next to him

u let go of ur gas

and give gas let go and give gas

at some point ill also move left

[glacial gazelle]

Yeah u think truckers are always in the right

[formal minnow]

if theres another lane and its clear

if ur gonna be annoying im gonna be annoying

[elder roost]

Well some truckers cut it a bit close.. agreed but most dont.. so don't go ask general questions based of the rare cases

[formal minnow]

ur blocking me ill just gently direct you to the next lane

[glacial gazelle]

He could smash into me if I didn’t honk

[formal minnow]

He wouldnt hear your honk anyways

Only other horns we hear is trucks honking

[glacial gazelle]

Well it happens to me many times and this guy is defending them

[formal minnow]

We all are

because your clearly not telling the truth if this happens

[glacial gazelle]

I am lol but believe that u are always right idc

U ain’t

lol

[elder roost]

He's not. He's defending truckers. Not truckers who merge stupid.

[glacial gazelle]

He is

[formal minnow]

no

[lyric carbon]

Test test

[summer valve]

Ask the trucker that did that to you?

[glacial gazelle]

💀

[formal minnow]

But but!!!

he beeped at the trucker!

now all is good!!11!!11!1

[glacial gazelle]

I’m not sure that I’m speaking with REAL truck drivers

[formal minnow]

You're stupid

[elder roost]

But you being stuck behind a truck has nothing to do with this. If he merges to late he's stupid. But you being stuck behind is not a big deal

[glacial gazelle]

Myb don’t switch in left lane while im next to u

[formal minnow]

Maybe dont camp next to me doing the same speed on a 3 lane?

[summer valve]

And I'm sure you don't even have an license to begin with

[glacial gazelle]

Yeah im just giving another example

[formal minnow]

Okay @summer valve @elder roost

lets imagine this

we are on an 3 lane highway yes

[glacial gazelle]

Bruh

2 lane

I said

[formal minnow]

youve been catching up to the truck infront your doing 90 hes doing 84

theres a car creeping up doing 100 or so once u want to get ready to overtake he slows down and does 90 next to you

[glacial gazelle]

U can imagine that but that’s not what I’m saying

I said 2 lanes

[formal minnow]

after a minute or so do you force him slowly but gently to move to the left lane that is clear

as hes clearly not budging or speeding

And the truck infront is now slowing down

and so is the car

(this doesnt happen if the car would continue his steady speed albeit 95 constant or higher whatever he was doing)

as hed be past us in 10 seconds maybe

[glacial gazelle]

Bro u are speaking to a wall ngl I didn’t say 3 lanes if it was 3 lanes it would be fine

[formal minnow]

its the same principle

[glacial gazelle]

Is not

[formal minnow]

u do stupid speed camping in blind spot / next to us

we will force u to move

[elder roost]

I simply change lanes in good time and let the cars cry about being stuck behind.. also I don't ride 90 unless absolutely necessary. 82 on the cruise and roll out to 93

[summer valve]

Oh look, a truck overtaking me and no cars behind. By the time he's done, there's a car behind him

[glacial gazelle]

2 and 3 lanes are so different

[formal minnow]

me doing 90

[glacial gazelle]

So in short u guys could say u are doing it bc u are bored

[formal minnow]

No

[elder roost]

Banger! When in a hurry down the backroads this is the shit

[glacial gazelle]

Cut car and bus even other trucks

[formal minnow]

dont camp in my blindspot

and match my speed

when u were going faster

[glacial gazelle]

Nobody is doing that buddy

[formal minnow]

The only people who truly cut other trucks

[elder roost]

Are you dense?

[formal minnow]

are the indians / wherever they are from

in lt pl slo plated trucks

[glacial gazelle]

💀

[formal minnow]

theyre doing 82 will cut infront of u doing 90

[summer valve]

Ok, why do car drivers overtake trucks doing 83 in a 80 zone and then continue going 80 in front of the trucker?

[formal minnow]

ye must not have a car license

otherwise hed know for real lol

[glacial gazelle]

Why do trucks overtake in 50 zone?

[formal minnow]

because your not going 50

but going 40

[glacial gazelle]

I am lol

[formal minnow]

and i can do 55 before i get a ticket

[glacial gazelle]

They go 70

[formal minnow]

so ofcourse im maximizing whatever speed

[glacial gazelle]

They pass rly fast tho

[summer valve]

Nothing illegal in overtaking in a 50 zone. I do that in a 40 zone as well

[formal minnow]

Cuz we overtake u faster then?

also a truck overtaking a car always feels fast

cuz we are noisy

[elder roost]

Short answer tachograph.. long answer owner operator eco driving😂

[formal minnow]

and push wind

lol

[glacial gazelle]

U go over speed limit

U can’t do that

[formal minnow]

Okay even if i do?

why do u care

im always speeding

i can legally go 80

i go 90

[glacial gazelle]

Bc there are people around

[formal minnow]

i got places to be?

i wanna be home on time?

[glacial gazelle]

Crosswalk

[formal minnow]

okay?

[glacial gazelle]

Yk u can crush someone

[summer valve]

Car drivers do that constantly when overtaking trucks. Why don't you go cry at them too?

[formal minnow]

and if theres a pedestrian crossing ill stop

[elder roost]

Wrong mindset tho dude

[formal minnow]

i nearly killed one yesterday because he crossed out of nowhere without looking

not on a pedestrian place

[glacial gazelle]

Yeah

[formal minnow]

Not really

i have places to be

[glacial gazelle]

It is

[formal minnow]

i have timeslots

[elder roost]

Yes very..

[formal minnow]

if im doing 80 vs 90

i will not make it sometimes

[glacial gazelle]

U kill a person and u say I have places to be???

Crazy

[formal minnow]

If someone jumps infront of my truck

hows that my fault

The person yesterday who did that i stopped in time dw

[glacial gazelle]

No bro if u drive 90 in 50 zone where people walk and cross the road is your fault

[formal minnow]

i n ever said im doing 90 in a 50 tho

i said im doing 90 in an 80

theres no pedestrian crossings on an 80 road

[glacial gazelle]

Still u said u are driving faster then speed limit

[formal minnow]

without traffic lights

Yes?

whats wrong of going 10 over

90% of the time its a 100 road

cars will go over 100

but i cant go 10 over and still be 10 under the cars speed limit?

[elder roost]

Well Im the worst offender on 70k backroads.. city and highway I'm all good

[formal minnow]

because then you will complain oh u can do 90 but u go 80

[glacial gazelle]

If u are going through town where is 50 u need to go 50

[formal minnow]

because cars can go 100

[formal minnow]

xD

Belgium trucks can only do 60

on 90 roads

ofcourse im not gonna do 60

[formal minnow]

i go 55

maybe 60

depends completely on the road

cars are going faster then me still anyways

[glacial gazelle]

And I said before why did truck overtake me where speed limit was 50 where people died bc of speeding cars and trucks

He was driving 70 myb even more

[elder roost]

They don't keep up with me on the backroads 😅

[formal minnow]

tbf

if u drive certain roads alot

depending on how ur loaded u know exactly how fast u can go

[summer valve]

Ask the trucker that did that. Don't ask us

[formal minnow]

100%

[elder roost]

Side tipper mate.. my center of gravity is👆👆

[formal minnow]

Even the "bad " east european drivers etc dont do that stuff

only the out of europe imports do

[formal minnow]

Ah

[glacial gazelle]

Yeah im gonna stop in front of his truck and ask him why did he do that smart guy u are

[formal minnow]

well then u always have same loaded ish

so u know exactly ur limits

before the whole truck is a side tip

(we flipped)

[elder roost]

Skrr

[glacial gazelle]

Well im there in east so

[summer valve]

And you expect us to know why they did what they did? Smart guy you are

[glacial gazelle]

That’s why I’m asking

[glacial gazelle]

Yeah bc 70% of them are doing the same thing

if u don’t know then don’t argue with me I asked someone who drives a truck

[summer valve]

Then ask them? Not hard to follow them or call their company now is it?

[summer valve]

I drive a truck so

[glacial gazelle]

I’m not crazy to follow a truck to ask him why did he do that XD

[formal minnow]

Yes

car drivers dont seem to have issues doing that

[glacial gazelle]

I pray for people that are near u

[glacial gazelle]

Well those are Karens

[formal minnow]

literally all of us talking here are truck drivers

[glacial gazelle]

That’s too much

[summer valve]

Ok, why do car drivers overtake trucks going 83 in a 80 and then immediately slam on their brakes after the overtake?

[formal minnow]

i doubt u even have a legal license

or are a 15 year old complaining while mommy drives

[glacial gazelle]

I don’t think Natalie is

[formal minnow]

She is

[summer valve]

#irl-trucking message that's literally a video taken by me

[glacial gazelle]

Idk ask him

U can overtake him can’t u?

U like to drive over limit

[glacial gazelle]

Yeah ik but it really doesn’t seem like it

[summer valve]

And then when I start to overtake them, they accelerate to prevent the overtake

[glacial gazelle]

But the answers

[glacial gazelle]

I was joking about overtaking

[summer valve]

83 in a 80 zone is completely legal. If cops were to radar you doing that, they'd say you were going exactly 80kmh

[glacial gazelle]

Yeah but I never made that example

I said for 50 zone

And highway

[formal minnow]

Okay

[glacial gazelle]

But here in Eastern Europe truckers are rly dangerous

Idk for other parts

[formal minnow]

so why dont you put on your cruise control

and we wont overtake

but no u cant and so ur doing 50 45 52 whatever

we go past

[summer valve]

Highways can be 80 zones

[glacial gazelle]

Not everyone have that

[formal minnow]

Okay so learn to keep a steady speed

instead of complaining someone who can overtakes u

as they continuesly gotta brake and accelerate

[glacial gazelle]

Here no

[formal minnow]

some people get punished if they keep doing that because it ruins their eco score

[summer valve]

Well here they can

[formal minnow]

aint noone gonna get punished or whatever at work because u cant keep your speed

and get mad we overtake u

[formal minnow]

Even 70!

[glacial gazelle]

Sry for complaining about truck cutting and making huge traffic behind him and sry that when I drive 50 in 50 zone truck overtakes me while going 80km and sry that trucks can go to speed limit my fault for driving by the rules I rly love when truck is 2m away from my car blinking and honking for going the right speed rly sry

[glacial gazelle]

I just don’t want to die bc of u or someone else to die

Ik u got great brakes on them

[formal minnow]

only chance u have dying of truck is if u brake check them

or cut infront of them hard

or walk across a road without looking

[glacial gazelle]

Yeah but only crazy people do that

[formal minnow]

No

stupid people do that

[glacial gazelle]

Both do

[formal minnow]

and what youve been saying well

it kinda sounds like u have a bit of that in you

[glacial gazelle]

Well I never said I cut truck

Or brake check them

Didn’t I?

[formal minnow]

i never said you did didnt i

[glacial gazelle]

Well is like u did

[glacial gazelle]

Have u been in Eastern Europe?

[formal minnow]

ive been to germany thats basicly eastern europe

[glacial gazelle]

U do know u can go more east

or did u go myb south europe?

Somewhere like that

[glacial gazelle]

And also a question how long do u wait on borders when is like 30 trucks in front ?

[summer valve]

It all depends on the border. Some don't take any time at all, some do

[formal minnow]

Not?

[glacial gazelle]

When i see line of trucks that are 5km I rly don’t know what they do for fun

[glacial gazelle]

Wdym?

[summer valve]

Everyone has their own ways to spend that time

[glacial gazelle]

I’ve seen they talk to each other what they can also do?

[formal minnow]

Clean truck make food sleep call with family ?

theres so many things they can do lol

[glacial gazelle]

They have internet everywhere?

[glacial gazelle]

Idk just asking

[formal minnow]

why wouldnt they?

[glacial gazelle]

Idk myb is kinda hard to get internet when u travel many countries

[summer valve]

As long as there's a signal, there's internet

[glacial gazelle]

Interesting

[lucid birch]

Most of the times when i car thinks they are driving 50km/h they are actually going 44-46km/h

Trucks are calibrated every year

So 50 is 50 for us

[lucid birch]

We dont want to go more east

We call that 3rd world countries

[lucid birch]

We have no closed borders

We can drive

[lucid birch]

I do in Europe

My brain has 1 brain cell left

After reading this chat

[oblique grove]

I normally clean my cab or call my daughter but that’s rare as I don’t go to Europe a lot

[glacial gazelle]

why

[glacial gazelle]

yeah i forgot

[glacial gazelle]

aha i see

[oblique grove]

I’m a uk driver I did the odd load to Europe but that’s it

But atm I’m not a truck driver anyways tryna find a new job

[glacial gazelle]

[oblique grove]

All you need is signal

[glacial gazelle]

[oblique grove]

Huh

[glacial gazelle]

um not rly bc then u need to pay a lot of money

[oblique grove]

Depends on ur phone contract

I have unlimited texts and calls in Europe

[glacial gazelle]

not everyone can be truck driver

[oblique grove]

My family owned my old company I have my licences 💀

[glacial gazelle]

I mean u live in west eu so ofc is easy

[glacial gazelle]

thats cool but still not everyone can do it

away from family and home

[oblique grove]

Well I’m ex army so I’m used to it with deployments

[glacial gazelle]

yeah is easy for u

[oblique grove]

Yh

@formal minnow Pls help me I’m going insane

[oblique grove]

It pays the bills

[glacial gazelle]

[formal minnow]

no

[oblique grove]

Screw you

[lucid birch]

Yes screw him

[glacial gazelle]

why do some people here call east eu 3 world countries lol

bc of russia or

[lucid birch]

No infrastructure and dumb border controls

[glacial gazelle]

oh

[lucid birch]

And everyone has the truck driver license but cant reverse a truck

[glacial gazelle]

XD

weird ngl

i heard Poland is great country and estonia also, didnt knew they have bad infrastructure

[oblique grove]

And I’m british and we’ll I can’t say what’s wrong with this country because I’ll be kicked

[lucid birch]

Oh i read that message wrong

I cant give my opinion about eastern europe i will get kicked from this server

I rather just stay in the Netherlands, belgium, france, spain, germany, norway, sweden, denmark, Luxembourg, Austria etc

Don’t forget Italy 👌🏻

[oblique grove]

Tbf always wanted to go on holiday to Italy for pizza

[lucid birch]

Nice i went to paris 2 weeks ago

Ate a baguette

And a croissant

[glacial gazelle]

my sister went there to try pizza and said is bad bc they add many bad toppings and the pizza as it self is mid in US they got better pizza i think

not sure

[oblique grove]

I would like to go to Kenya again

[glacial gazelle]

isnt it civil war there lol?

[lucid birch]

Kenya? "Can ya suck it"

[oblique grove]

No I went there with the army

[lean oracle]

you have eyes right? look ahead and anticipate what thye migth do and just watch for blinkers

[lean oracle]

that means your driving too fast and the truck isnt a issue either way

[glacial gazelle]

Man I’m not going to try prove my point when people twist my words I said everything how it is

[lean oracle]

yes, but if you are far behind a truck coming up and he goes and overtake and you saying cannot stop in time, your probably not doing the speedlimit or having a roadworthy car

drive a truck one day, youll see what we mean and why you're wrong

[glacial gazelle]

I said that im going 130 didn’t I?

[lean oracle]

yeah and?

[glacial gazelle]

That’s the speed limit

[lean oracle]

if u wanna do 130 and cant stop in time your going too fast for your car

[glacial gazelle]

Is not that I cant stop is just that I need to brake hard

I get that they don’t care

[lean oracle]

idk what you doing but your not doing 130 then but faster, cause if i see a car coming and theres half a km or further away im moving, if u aint got time to slow down

you shouldnt have a license

[glacial gazelle]

I mean again u are twisting my words

What’s the point of this argument XD

Just say u don’t care when u overtake

[formal minnow]

stop crying

[glacial gazelle]

Man i would feel ashamed to say stop crying if I was your age

[formal minnow]

okay and

[glacial gazelle]

Is an argument dude not crying many people like u run away from arguments

[glacial gazelle]

And is embarrassing

But is okay

Bc i didnt do it

[lean oracle]

yet u came here to specifically harrass truck drivers who dare to overtake where theyre allowed to

[lucid birch]

@glacial gazelle just some info for you

@lean oracle and @formal minnow are family they are twins

so low IQ is something in the family.

[formal minnow]

ah yes because some random idiot needs to know who my family is

[glacial gazelle]

No i asked a question then i got harassed and called stupid and idiot for no reason

[formal minnow]

because all your doing is saying everyone is wrong

[glacial gazelle]

Hahahahaha

[formal minnow]

and your right

because ur in a car

[glacial gazelle]

No 😂

[glacial gazelle]

No i just asked a question is not a car vs truck thing man

I don’t like that u twisted my words 10+ times

[oblique grove]

Go drive a truck because everything they have both said is right 😂

[glacial gazelle]

Are u also his brother? I wouldn’t be surprised ngl

[glacial gazelle]

I said before and ill say again don’t twist my words, don’t harass me and stop being closed-minded

[oblique grove]

No mate I’m from a complete different country and I have a 11 sibblings they do not 💀

[glacial gazelle]

That was sarcasm but okay

[oblique grove]

Because we all know we’re right 💀

[lean oracle]

sounds like youre closed minded and cant fathom trucks overtaking and causing a 20sec delay wich u wont even be affected by when you give gas again and accelerate, vs if a truck brakes n wait to overtake n build speed it can easily take 4mins delay or more

[oblique grove]

I think if I explained it simpler even my daughter would agree💀

[lean oracle]

yeah said him before too but he wont understand till he does

[glacial gazelle]

Yeah like i said is not worth to argue with close-minded people like u bc u twist my words and didn’t see what I was saying

[glacial gazelle]

I’m not going to understand your fake statement

Simple as that

[lean oracle]

fake? until youve driven a truck you wont understand how you're wrong

[oblique grove]

@glacial gazelle go drive a truck

[glacial gazelle]

I think I proved my point and also u showed me what kind of person are u

[glacial gazelle]

Okay and then I should go and cut people off? Okay cool

[lean oracle]

you didnt prove shit besides you hate truckers and clearly dont want goods delivered or understand how unlike cars we have strict driving schedules and such

[oblique grove]

Cheers I will sleep worse tonight knowing something I already am😂

[glacial gazelle]

And again u are putting words in my mouth I never said I hate truckers I hate all drivers that are irresponsible and reckless like u

[lean oracle]

yeah if you think a trucker is reckless because they overtake your wrong

[glacial gazelle]

Idc about that info ok

[glacial gazelle]

And again u twist my words

[lean oracle]

just cause your allowed to do 130 on a 2lane where theres truck drivers, does not mean it gives you the right to overtake everyone and then get mad when a trucker who is also allowed to overtake, does that

[lean oracle]

your calling me reckless, im a truckdriver. so aint no twisting and your calling all of us reckless cause we overtake

[oblique grove]

Your not even a trucker so I don’t know why your in here😂

[lean oracle]

clearly to argue

[oblique grove]

And more

@glacial gazelle so was ur intention just to wind us truckers up

[glacial gazelle]

Twisting my words again bro I don’t want to waste my energy on u two

[glacial gazelle]

I didn’t say all truckers are like u

[glacial gazelle]

To ask a question and idk what’s wrong with arguing

Yeah like I said not every trucker is like u but u are one of those

[glacial gazelle]

No mate I already said everything but u didn’t read any of it

[oblique grove]

😂

[pseudo bone]

Lovely Saturday!

4 days and about 2840km behind and far more to go! 🤠

[lean oracle]

working on the weekend again huh

[pseudo bone]

yes started my workweek on Wednesday 6 trips Helsinki - Lappeenranta this stupid expired soil/dirt shit never ends...

[lean oracle]

xd

making nice money tough with weekend being 150% n shit right?

[pseudo bone]

Yes and then there is few other bonuses

[lean oracle]

nice

[pseudo bone]

There is still calculated to be over 340,000tons of expired lands, we started driving these 15.12.2024 with 30-50 trucks basically everyday. The amount was incredible when we started..

[lean oracle]

fricking hell thats a lot

thats tsill left

[pseudo bone]

yes, the pile when we started was almost 250meters long and 20-30 meters high

More stuff is being piled up all the time by little dumpers.

all this is because of dirt replacement, its so full of shit and stuff its unbelievable, ovens, hundreds of bikes, car wheels... everything you can basically imagine of

back in the days it was possible to dump oil to ground, there is sooooo much oil on the ground nowdays you'd get shot by doing that almost 🙈

[lean oracle]

xd

so the scrap recycled is that money going to whos property being cleaned or that sum extra cash for u guys/

[pseudo bone]

the scrap is being seperated and driven out with scrap trucks, idk really about the payment maybe the general contractors

[ivory patrol]

A lot

[lean oracle]

double dipping, earning money to haul it away, earning money selling it

[pseudo bone]

Contractors laughing in own vomits, and rubbing hands together

sad but true, they earn more than us

[lean oracle]

xd

probz your boss still making huge profits, but obv contractor owns the contract and thus makes even more but if shit goes wrong he gets blamed so

[ivory patrol]

I can rub with you

[formal minnow]

[pseudo bone]

Ey yoo

[ivory patrol]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-jam-gif-19879906

Did you guys know that in oulu there are 6 alkoa in 5km distance of toisistaa

[formal minnow]

bro

oulu slaps

Besides all the criminal shit goin on

[pseudo bone]

idk but karhu is very tasty

[ivory patrol]

Idk i just drink koskenkorva (medicine)

[formal minnow]

sandels and le coq is good

the rest is just stupid exspensive

[pseudo bone]

My number 21 in beautiful shape😍 😍

and my old Scania number 15, can i even call it old because i drove just about 140k with it before my boss told me to change trucks?!

[formal minnow]

[pseudo bone]

i mean fuaak man, when i just got used to the Scania my boss told me "guess what you're getting one of the newest ones" i thought it was a joke but no...... i mean new is new right?

[formal minnow]

xD

have u not broken it yet

[pseudo bone]

Now i got proper beds on that truck, they withstand bigger rocks and stuff better and the trailers box have hydraulic backboard too, i've not broke it ones since i got it

usually everyone leave the hydraulic hoses on when they remove/deliver the box back on trailer you know?

[pseudo bone]

nonooo, i've just driven about 8k with it

only problems i've had with the truck was the new dashboard sometimes went completely black and didn't turn on anymore

[formal minnow]

yeah but im geussing that was just a defect

[pseudo bone]

i don't understand why Scania needed to change the older dashboard it was way better in my opnion

[formal minnow]

i prefer the old dash

still with dials etc

[pseudo bone]

yes but i can't lie the new dash is cool as fk

and the new radio panel etc

feels like first day at work when i drove to Seepsula (biggest gravel mines in Finland) i just told them "No panic loading the truck i just got this"

[formal minnow]

[pseudo bone]

Surprised me even they didnt leave any scratch on it

[formal minnow]

and then the operator proceeds to instantly dump shit on it

ive ofc never run dirt etc or whatever

but feels like all people who ever have to load no matter where

they just rush it

they dont care if they break shit as its not their truck anyway

[pseudo bone]

Not that time, i've had only few trips with trailer on, mostly just with the truck trailers been sitting in my backyard lonely 🙂

[formal minnow]

whys the trailer not being taken

[pseudo bone]

But monday i got some trailer jobs, driving asbest concrete Helsinki to Forssa

[pseudo bone]

i've been in railway jobsite in Helsinki, not needed to have trailer on

we drove all the old railway gravels with trailers to Forssa then without trailers some clayish lands to Espoo (Ämmässuo)

[formal minnow]

ah

i love the forssa region

[pseudo bone]

iugh Forssa

[formal minnow]

i miss finland

i wanna go back again

and maybe convince my friends to drive up to oulu instead of taking the train

[rose hill]

@pseudo bone I like your pfp

[lost crow]

dont disrespect that truck

thats brand new

if anyone should be calling a truck old its me

[pseudo bone]

Where did i disrespect it?

[rapid warren]

[lean oracle]

[regal smelt]

[lean oracle]

[regal smelt]

Cool for you

[lean oracle]

[formal minnow]

Ah yes the "no officer i didnt know how i didnt see the pedestrian i just hit"

[regal smelt]

Honestly I would do

Not even through Austria

[bleak girder]

hi

[regal smelt]

Well it’s a truck register, 7,5 T are trucks but whatever y’all think like

[regal smelt]

Sup

Don’t wanna go and discuss about such crap

[bleak girder]

Worlds longest road tunnel ✅️

[lean oracle]

Are your lights on the bullbar not hooked up to drl?

[rugged cape]

Nah too much trouble

Since it's not legal

[lean oracle]

What to have drl on them?

[rugged cape]

Yes

[lean oracle]

Lol

Yet no issue with bullbar, those ain’t legal whole of Europe is it?

[rugged cape]

The bullbar is legal

You get that written into the documents of the truck

Idk EU is stupid and we aren't even apart of them

[formal minnow]

Isnt Scandinavia super stupud with laws about it aswell

Sweden u cant have a bullbar but if u add lights its suddenly legal

And in others if u dont have one u pay more insurance etc

[rugged cape]

Idk many swedes have bullbars

[lean oracle]

Ah i see

Here’s illegal but also cuz nowadays they ain’t like tied into the chassis so if crash ir also damages truck n shit so idk exactly how or what that had to do with why illegal

[formal minnow]

Illegal cuz “pedestrian safety”

As it doesnt crush to protect them or something

As if the truck has parts being crushed when a pedestrian gets hit

Unless its a 200kg person

[lean oracle]

It also has to do with other stuff that hits

[rugged cape]

No it doesn't I had a car smack into my truck once while he was doing 60kmh and all I needed was a new headlight and bullbar

[rugged cape]

Better to protect the truck

[formal minnow]

Yea

[lost crow]

its a joke

[lost crow]

[lean oracle]

He got new job

[rugged cape]

New Job

[oblique grove]

[pseudo bone]

Dads friend asked me for this week so i got 3week vacation at my part time company😂

[sudden citrus]

The state the driver where I am leave the trucks are horrendous sometimes

[pseudo bone]

i like the cowboy one way more than Black Queen🙈

[lean oracle]

[pseudo bone]

Its hard to believe that those trucks basically do everything with those trucks😭😂

Everything same as we in Ventoniemi🤠

[lean oracle]

well yrah if u get dirty pat down clothes, n shoes of

[pseudo bone]

i left every bit of my work clothes out side of the door

the interior was way too nice to be true

[lean oracle]

yeah coverall in side

[pseudo bone]

No coveralls

[formal minnow]

stupid ass move

"hey come work for us u get a fancy truck"

kicks u out of ur truck

and then in a few days he gets kicked off it again for a crap truck

[formal minnow]

3 lights on bullbar on a truck loops stupid

[pseudo bone]

I can say from experience that it's not worth it. You get paid the same driving what ever piece of shit

[formal minnow]

Yeah

[pseudo bone]

I thought the same at first but my eyes got used to it

[formal minnow]

but i mean lets say u get 17 euros at current company

or 17 at this one

and boss pays for the truck to be specced out to a theme for example

but u get to choose lights etc at no costs?

i know what im picking

assuming both are good companies obviously

[pseudo bone]

At this company drivers chose these themes of the truck

[formal minnow]

Thats cool

[pseudo bone]

One is based of owners dog ”Heba”

[formal minnow]

Very cool

we only have one truck with custom interior

[lean oracle]

this just dope

it is that im saving for a house , or i woulda probz bought like custom carpeted panels, like for top bed bottom plate, sun visor the plate, dash the stuff n doors

[formal minnow]

before u complain staff its part of the conversation go away

[pseudo bone]

Thats the proud doggo

[formal minnow]

this is the nicest looking truck we have

has a full custom brown leather interior

And ofcourse open pipe

[pseudo bone]

Yääh openpipes

[formal minnow]

Several of our container trucks have open pipes

but its not proper ones i geuss

so they cant run em fulltime or they get adblue problems

[lean oracle]

does said doggo cocaptain?

[pseudo bone]

i drove one openpipe scania for 3monts then i told my boss to get rid of it

[formal minnow]

why

[lean oracle]

thers one in port, mercedes with a open pipe, OPEN being original exhaust system fully deleted/bypassed and straight piped

can hear it coming from across the terminal

but for a merc, it sounds good sound wise but eh

[pseudo bone]

Not the biggest stacks but the damn sound

[lean oracle]

heh, work last weekend had a scania in, they welded 7m of pipe under it

[pseudo bone]

Felt weird to have own last name on the truck🤣😭

[lean oracle]

wish the back panel was flat in my volvo , but it isnt

[formal minnow]

[lean oracle]

but if i ever get some custom pieces done, ill see if i can get that flat so light board can fit in it u know

[pseudo bone]

yes yes

[copper aurora]

Can i hear tge stacks?

[elder roost]
