Like chemicals, how much you may carry of it and how you need to secure it and all

All u needda know is what category and like minimum quantity so not need plaquadds

ello guys,

We have ***changed *** the way we will be using the #irl-trucking now! Feel free to read the channel topic or description for more information.

TLDR: You're no longer restricted to posting only your own truck pictures; As long as they're IRL trucking-related, you're permitted to post them here. The images and/or discussions can be related to your own trucks, could be your friends', or just a random Truck's picture, or any experience you have encountered in real life. wee

For any discrepancies or queries, feel free to reach out through @twilit bear.

Thank you!

Kind regards,
CMManagement.

Question
Europallets. 3 across or 2 across 🤔

3 across if the number of pallets can be divided by 3

#

3 6 9 12 etc

fringe sleet

But in terms of how many pallets you can fit on does it make a different

queen brook
#

33 if you do 3 across and 32 if you do 2

fringe sleet
#

Now I’m on UK work it’s irrelevant but I’m watching the driver I’m with loading 2 across and made me wonder. I remember in Germany not knowing what to say when the forklift driver asked if I wanted it 3 or 2. Funny know but well embarrassing at the time

I always told em just ram it till it fits all my shit

And the pallets and were good

Oh I see

the fog lights don't work on this truck and the drivers side running lights don't work either

patent bolt

Fogs arent really necessary but the running lights can certainly be nice when driving after dark tho 😬

#

One thing I keep questioning tho is how come basically no American truck has extra high beams mounted? Like so many here in Europe do and i mean you lot obviously get dark nights as well

the driver's side door doesn't open the passenger side driver tires are balding

#

or time limited tacho wise or?

#

or is drive times not a thing there

ivory obsidian
#

We all don't care about the tachograph

#

the main thing is that it has a map

#

The fine for exceeding the working time is 5 euros, and you still have to fight to get a fine from the tachograph.

#

Because everyone drives like that, and the road service doesn't care either.

#

In 2 years I was only stopped once and my tachograph was checked.

#

They said that I needed to rest (I had 48 hours of rest for 2 months in a row)

lean oracle
ivory obsidian
#

After that they wished me all the best, and I went on

lean oracle
#

here it be a few 1000

ivory obsidian
#

that's why everything looks like one big joke

lean oracle
#

mhm

ivory obsidian
#

Now they want to significantly increase fines for using tachographs so that drivers use them (transition to the European standard)

#

But then carriers will simply increase transportation prices (by 4 times), which will cause the economy to stall.

#

and the drivers will stop working because with such a work schedule they will be making not 15 trips a month, but 4

shame im not in the us, id like to drive there at some point perhaps just for fun tough

as its still different than here in europe

feral bison

and I had to run the load since I was the only one available

lean oracle
#

so i assume youre owner operator/ but just work for one company or such as that, and they asked you to go rescue trhat load/ return truck?

feral bison
#

yep

lean oracle
#

oof

#

whyd they have u do it tough as your a "contractor" and not one of their own drivers

ivory patrol
#

Yesnt

lean oracle
#

best woulda been drop trailer have someone pick that up n then transport truck back or sum, i assume u had to fly out to the truck?

feral bison
lean oracle
#

so like, they said to do so even tough your a contractor and such?

#

id assume youd told em your unavailable x date for trips as truck be in for maintenance?

#

my work almost all have besdies 2 guys ish their own truck, but those retired work here n there get whatevers parked

#

but if mines in shop if too late and cant get time off, i aint overnighting, home every day

feral bison

it's my way of helping out since this company has helped me alot

#

and I'm getting paid extra for doing this

feral bison

#

ah

#

so your own driver but work for them ,run their trailers n all just own truck itself

Oh okay, so reefer usually u unload reload near drive back, and sometimes it’s a site where it’s a drop empty take loaded site?

Btw I hate reefers

Don’t haul em but god damn if one with it reefer on decide park near me im annoyed, especially older ones that be loud as freak and drop n raise rpm of the unit

Also the new carrier units are a not something I'd recommend to try and plug into a power outlet and then try to sleep through that ä

lean oracle

But it was foreigners with old as heck rundown crap Wesh

patent bolt
#

Our newer carriers are way worse than the old ones when it comes to rpm

#

Also if you plug it into a power socket it'll run on electricity and then basically shut down until it notices the temp goes off set point, then reboot ergo gonna beep and then repeat it all over again all through the night

I agree that the response time isn't often very fast. However I hope that we get a few more Discord moderators from the recent recruitment. At the moment we only have kibby as a new mod and he isn't from the EU sad_3

Hello guys id like to ask how much fuel does a scania R500 2019 waste per 100km its a 4x2 and it hauls around 40tones brutto

summer valve
drifting radish
#

The terrain its driven on is 90% flat with slight hills

summer valve
drifting radish
lean oracle
#

why dont ya just drive the truck and find out vs asking

#

new tires old tires/ still plenty shit can affect it

#

but if its a newer truck, even a 2019 expect it to do 3.5 km/l

patent bolt
#

Doing 90 then the gear ratio also affects the fuel consumption

#

So I'd say too little information given and too many factors do affect it such as Nat has pointed out for anyone to be able to estimate your average fuel consumption correctly here.

lean oracle
#

plus where your based/ temperatures ,winds n whatnot , if u on mostly flat area usualy wind acts up a lot

patent bolt
#

I HATE these Spanish 💩 trailers...

lean oracle
#

xd

#

yeah them trains be open on the bottom, everything gets thrown on them

patent bolt
#

I have no idea what you're on about, there's no problems with the trains really. The issue is the trailer that is literal shit tho, the brand SOR

lean oracle
#

oh tought u meant of it giving the dirt on the truck lol

#

that that was waht u complaining about

patent bolt
#

Nah the dirt is since the weather is bad and we pass through several road works daily

lean oracle
#

mhm

patent bolt
#

The problem with the trailers are that the trailer body is built in a weird way so the steel beams under the trailer starts like going downwards too close to the kingpin thus causing these horrible trailers to yeet your top wheel covers on the rear axle if you're unlucky

#

Happened to me before, thats why I've now moved the 5th wheel all the way back to avoid that. But if they could just build proper trailers to begin with that wouldn't be necessary

lean oracle
#

So for them it isn’t a issue

patent bolt
#

Not really an excuse

lean oracle
#

No, but it means why it gives you issue and them not

patent bolt
#

Krone trailers and Schmitz are fine and they are bigger in the rest of EU as well and often behind 4x2 as well

lean oracle
#

Although most I see driving even Polish Romanian whatnot, they all who drive reefer and such drive without fenders 9/10x

#

But they also have a lower fifth wheel/ liftsbke due to uk trailers

patent bolt
#

Yeah ours are quite close as well but when we hook up SOR trailers we got plenty of space at the front of the trailer and the fenders and Krone is a bit tighter squeeze and Schmitz is really close but the steel beams on those 2 brands are straight all the way back basically so thus not causing this issue

#

Also the I dunno what its called but the place where they hook on the chains on the trailers during harsh ferry crossings etc on Schmitz are mounted on the legs of the trailer where as on SOR they are mounted in front of them hanging dangling down which causes them to smash into the rear of the trucks and the battery compartment etc....

#

Horrible trailers, just horrible

lean oracle
#

It’s a good thing u can move fifth wheel, if I’d had to haul that one for instance, that box infront of the landing gear would mean I wouldn’t even be able to hook it

#

Nvm there is or isn’t? Can’t tel from pic lol like looks there smth infront of legs but im probz mistaken

#

Do see the eye tough u mean, that would on mine with being 4x2 probz rip of my fenders or something

#

Aka call mechanic he’d come fix it with a angle grinder kekw

patent bolt
#

They are simply horrible trailers, like so many design flaws

#

Same thing with the fishwater runoff tanks we have on the back, they're made of thin aluminium meaning that they're weak on the edges and thus the chemicals they use to wash them after unloading has eaten its way through most of the edges thus causing the tanks themselves to have more holes than a Swiss cheese...

#

Krone trailers are so much better in every way

#

And nah there's no box in front of the landing gear can be the shadows or something causing it to look like it

formal minnow
lean oracle
patent bolt
#

I am confused to what you're talking about, but most of our combi trailers have a fish goop/water run off tank mounted at the rear of them

lean oracle
#

So u mean a water tank at the back on the trailer underneath?

patent bolt
#

Well not water tank but yeah a tank that gathers liquid running from the inside of the trailer ergo for example fish goop running all over the trailer floor

cobalt onyx
patent bolt
#

Indeed

#

This is how it looks @lean oracle

lean oracle
#

Ah k

sweet pendant
patent bolt
#

Well salmon goop doesnt really smell

#

Nor would it float around inside the trailer cuz no box trailer is built to hold liquids, it would start to leak out

sweet pendant
#

Dunno about that. But many years ago, I worked in a warehouse, where we washed fishboxes. By the time, we got to them, they were plenty smelly.

patent bolt
#

And thats why we have to have the tanks because its illegal and "so dangerous" if some fish goop leaks out apparently

patent bolt
#

And obviously it depends on what the temp those boxes had prior to you getting them and so on

sweet pendant
patent bolt
#

Sure the salmon goop does not smell when its fresh, but Ive had trailers where they forget to empty the tanks in Oslo in the summertime where as they then get sent back up in the warm weather up here with the tanks still full and then i can assure you that after a week of heat it smells like death
