Shouldn't send driving photos in this discord tbh.
Hey @hoary dirge,
Please keep in mind that it is prohibited to send videos or images that display or encourage dangerous driving as per #discord-rules §2.9. This includes taking photos or videos of you driving yourself.
Last Trip today
it can be a good daf, but if it is the pre facelift be aware of air and electrical problems esp around sensors of the DPF and the common atomizer problems
It’s like a massive parachute 
bros done freak all for 5days at a daf and acts like expert 
yes, still done more than you
also don't forget i still wash trucks and they also had dafs of that period with those exact problems
probz not
ive done plenty of driving
and few minutes of work outside of that
if any of you woth DAF- knowledge can tell me what model of DAF this is?
its a daf 106, pre facelift is 2013-2017, facelift is 2017-2020/2021

Somebody said said you dont get anymore money no matter how skewed the trailer is
And how common is duomatic connector in europe?
All tandems I drove had duomatik

i have a question

@jade tangle nub
Cant wait for ice to melt. After that work becomes so chill 🤔
Dont have to hammer ice of the hoses then j geuss
Watch out for @queen brook
I would not dare to drive into Finland up here if i didnt already know hes a southerner 
Where in here
Kivilompolo
hes afraid of south finland
Akshually
Im from Lapland
Yeah were only crossing borders in transit, crossed over to Sweden in Karesuando later and now parked for the night and will cross back into Norway tomorrow
Our hoses are inside trailer or truck so they dont get covered in ice 🤔
@queen brook good thing I’m not wearing puukkarit 
Ah hell naw
The puddle they give you when you need to close your doors
I reversed the trailer into a dock. That puddle was what was right under the driver sides steps
That seems like a wise choice of shoes for the winter 🧐
Puukkarit are the best winter shoes
I have no idea of what that means but they seem like converse shoes which i know for a fact theres nothing called comfort at all in 😬
They are warm
Well thats if you get fur ones
Puukkarit are these 
Hi ^^ You have ?
Isnt there fur versions
Or am i remembering wrong
Nesquik

Sorry for your loss
A fellow austrian truck driver here - hiya 
That’s a thick book for adr 😂
I had one about idk 1/6th thickness of that 
Well this is the correct one for EU so 
Adr course is sooo much fun 
Wanna do it again?

I have to at one point if I wanna keep that license, so all in due time 
@short flame 
Bout time, and I even dm’d him yesterday already n modmail

We got this tiny book 
Easier to carry around
Yeah but it cant possibly have all the same information as the thick one we have 🤔
It doesn’t but it has all the needed information
Same bout that size
I mean, thick one got every class or smth?
Here in nl i only gotta know classes and shit
And not every un number
Just gotta known the codes like 90 99 22 that indicate the danger and such for instance
It has everything about what you can carry or not and whats needed and all like it has all the information needed
Like chemicals, how much you may carry of it and how you need to secure it and all
Mhm? Sounds like overkill
All u needda know is what category and like minimum quantity so not need plaquadds
securement how to goes back to like when get license and be tought how to calculate shit for straps needed n such
Its not really overkill to have all the information you might need available for you in a book tho 
true, but u also cant be expected to know every category and every rule specifically
well i only carry my phone with adr advisor
only thing you need
Don’t even need that. I get informed if I need to open the blanks or not
Hmmm
I Wonder if when i have to choose what line i want to do should i pick logistic mechanic or electrician
@summer valve where u at
Somewhere ur not at
Near Kuisema. Omw to Lahti from Tampere
Ah
Tule Lahteen, Suomen Chicagoon
Holy shit.. my friend drives this junk
This is only 10%, the more you look the more faults you find.. EX 2 missing brake cylinders on the trailer

The truck itself is a rental I think, they're getting a new one in April Ive been told
Ahhh

Cool neste truck
Low
I have to say this looks nice. I am actually not the biggest fan of Volvo but how does a Volvo drive like?
you drive this one?
cool, so besides taking pictures, can you read?
Like a boat, its important to always bring sea sickness pills and your boat license with you before you jump into a Volvo
😂
I like them. Got really nothing to complain about
same
My cousin drives for Posti too
Nice truck!

decided it doesnt wanna go into gear when u go from neutral
so it takes 3mins to select it
went to office mechanic sat in it, tested
within 3mins he was calling dealer
they gonna look at it tomorrow, hes like i dont even wanna touch it
buttttt, now im driving a newer fh5 and its got a trainhorn so like
cant complain 
been terrorizing all day
Sound like what I had... On the Aero.. not enough grease on the clutch disc splines
Won't let the input shaft slow down enough.. try only selecting Drive with full air pressure in the tanks.
u also had no issues with shifting when it gone into gear?
air pressure was always full
Yup
once into gear it had no issues
And only on the first start after sitting 1h+
so what was the fix then?
eh after driving and go into reverse still had 3mins before it decides to go into ti
Tear down clutch and grease impirshaft
Input shaft
Well the Aero started acting at 120k
No biggie tho. Warranty job
They overnighted it
mhm
so if they know what they doing i probz have my own back tomorrow or monday
was brought today to dealer so tomorrow they ginna look
IM waiting 30 minutes to load that **** game

Double the wannabe mod

Nah, but the servers being overrun by bots and tmp ain’t done shit
When did volvo make this kind of truck
American market
They’ve been making them there for decades
Volvo VNL ?
Idk? They’re produced in America or somewhere near there
But parts n stuff coming directly from Sweden afaik
Little kitty cat
Do u speak english bruh
the cab and chassis are made in the usa
yeah what i figured, drive train engine and interior parts come straight from europe
John Deere water truck 
mi baby
This could be far too local to me 😂 although I have questions about the job
that's not optimal
that dosnt look right
still got a tire next to it keep going
I'm not trying to get yelled at by my boss
He won’t already for having a tire in a bad enough condition that y didn’t get it swapped n waited for it to blow up?
Elon Musk in TMP is wild
it's not our company trailer we just lease trailers from another company that has a bigger fleet then we do
Aka hook er up n send em?
I guess
their drivers don't care about their trucks or trailers
they've also known about this since the beginning of this month


Not looking good 😬
Air suspension might be freaked
It’s bottomed out so
My main concern with my was my trailer brakes
Eh this one blew up
It is one behind flashed overtook n then signaled to go off
That I knew tire
Didn’t hear it nor feel much
Rin after 3 km of being notified and going off doing 70 still cuz no sparks yet is send it
Rim was mint
No damage to it
me?
Yea. I’m local to one of their depots
Nice truck
Question for the DAF drivers. i cant seem to find it in the manual. Hom many kilometers can i drive when the reserve of adblue is reached. First petrolstation i can use is in about 150km...
Shouldve filled it before it went empty
I drove several weeks if not longer with no adblue in my iveco before it went into safety
Your adblue should last fine
My truck 3x refuel ish and go to empty almost on diesel before adblue is empty if filled up fully and then fuel 3x ish
I havent seen a petrolstation that has adblue in 600km so yes i should have filled up before but my original route was only 260km XD so i thought i was more than fine 🤣
Your fine
Unless you have a really small adblue tank most u can do atleast one full trip and a half on the fuel before adblue be empty so
But you ain’t yet
Bot
Says the one named ceo

I aint goving u pictures of myself or telling u who i am and where im from dumbass
Ur definetly not a lady

I smell catfish
Doubt
whats the temps being like now?
Here = 8, home = chaos
geussing uve gone south then?
not too warm but weather looks nice
we had some good weather but past 2 days its been max 10 and rainy again
ohh haha ya this wasn't a depot just a store down in the southwest
why cant i send my trucs pic?
I’d be worried if that WAS a cullina depot 😂 looks like a classic Sainsbury’s bay to me.
That being said I’m 99% sure you’re out of the depot near me. I’ll DM you
I tricked the system; the traffic jam was coming from two sides. I was driving from the side where it was very long, and decided to cheat, make a circle, and get into another lane, where there were already 4 cars )
Can anyone help me?
I drive a 2013 Dailmler-Benz Arocs 16 speed manual with a MAN V12X-2200 With 30 liters of displacement, 2,100 horsepower, and 7,350 Newton-meters.
I have problem
what
Yeah I swapped it
why
So I’m 12 Tons over. He is not operating at driving level, and he has a loss of power.
u do know this is a chat that isnt for the game right
Wdmy?
Do you want to see the Damm papers ? I bought the engine cheap and spend over a year modifying it
well sounded like u were talking about a ingame truck lol
if u did that swap to a actual truck thats cool
but could have also just gotten a scania volvo etc that wont struggle with 12 tons of overload xD
Jesus Christ I’m in the mud with 4 Axels and 45 Tons. It doesn’t struggle I think something must have broke
No for that price it was the cheapest one I could have bought
I’m not convinced this is a true story 😂
If you got the mechanical knowhow to put a 2100 hp engine in, then you also got the knowhow on how to solve your problem
Also a 30 liter yacht engine definitely wouldn’t fit in a cabover
sure buddy whatever you say
Hi
bot
@formal minnow Bot?
Yes bot
give me un ban

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. 
For any discrepancies or queries, feel free to reach out through @twilit bear.
Thank you!
Kind regards,
CMManagement.

Double’s gonna have nothing to do now 😂


So you're saying basically anyone can post any picture in here as long as its a truck or truck related, or did I read that wrong? 
You read that right
That means just any truck spotter or rando with a phone who takes picture of any rando truck along the road will be starting to appear here.
That SUCKS.
I think people will post that in irl media anyway. I figure we’re still relatively safe
So ,
Guys look at this DAF vent
Should probably pin that, ngl. 
Nvm - it is
@summer valve Slightly different
Question
Europallets. 3 across or 2 across 🤔
But in terms of how many pallets you can fit on does it make a different
33 if you do 3 across and 32 if you do 2
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
I never run a full load ngl. Only ever multiple collections that would get to full and I wouldn’t be told how many I’d eventually have. So mine was that too 😂
Our 25m combos loads 100 pallets
European drive next to us has done 3 across
First Renault I've seen irl
Kiilakeikka oy Scania👌
Indeed
Ive never seen a renault truck irl
Or an iveco
Man too
They are quite rare here in Finland
I've seen both an Iveco and Man
Do they even exist here
Yeah but rarely
Like really rare
Another Man
Man again
Daf👍
Cool
Thanks!
Nice truck
Nice

I was unfortunately wrong
Some spots from today👌
Indeed you were, this place is gonna be ruined now.
We need new irl trucking channel now
Yep, it worked fine being in media, and truckers here, now it’s a shit show again
Big
Very big
How do you see stock trucks i dont usually see them here
anyone else got some off highway rigs here?
I just spot on a bridge on top of the highway. I'm usually there around 1 hour at a time.
I'll probably go spotting in an hour
Renault
⛽
GUYS I just saw an abnormal load chase vehicle, does this mean it will be going through our town or what?? Just wondering
I really hope it is
No
Okay
That scanina with a double is a dream
I'm a Volvo guy but true
It’s tidy
it really is!
One thing it needs is marker lights on the front sides
And the low profile rear tag
Do you have CEX in your country?
my phones camera is not that good
If you do they sell decent cameras at a alright price
I have a amazing one for 95€
we don't
Shame
do you have pictures?
Nice! I used to do aviation like 2 years ago
Same lol
dang tha's pretty good
I’m 2 hours away from Dublin tho so sad :( also we should move channel
alright lets switch
ouch
Thats cheap
when i filled my truck wich took around 160 gallons usually
it was around 1200 dollars after conversion
with current prices its probably alot more lmao
shh, americans forget they have cheap fuel
I know I aint a adult or anything but like... yall lowk lucky to see cool trucks and stuff like that, i am stuck in a 10k ppl town with only like compancy trucks, I even get excited when i see a normal scania
Washie washie
Some spots from yesterday.
The struggle is real, hope you get a couple good spots
use #irl-media
its allowed now 💀
yeah its stupid
because now you can "share " your friends trucks etc or shit that adds to the conversation
as if weve never shown friends trucks if theyre in here or random trucks because we are talking about something lmao
They could just change the name to ”truck spotting”
yea
scania to be exact cuz u know all the fanboys who are now allowed here are just going to post that
well media was
i guess they got annoyed at having to do their job\
yet now they have less reports to deal with
still responses take 3+ days
or they just undo the shit they done here
and bannish em again
why do we need to make a suggestion when it was working as is?
then they changed it to not wanna deal with modmail reports, wich they dont even freaking do
You lot have talked more about the rule change more than anything to do with your own trucks 😂
@lean oracle does
Seen this when I was on the Rødby to puttgarden crossing
Buses are not trucks
they think cuz its allowed now to post trucks u not drive, busses count
the channels gone to shit the minute they posted it, just cuz they dont wanna run modmail on this channel
yet even non stuff of this channel, so far we 4n half days further for modmail yet no responsed
And then drive the same speed as the guy on the right 😶🌫️
Late night container driving
I missed 600k, but still, hurray
Gonna wake up and your mirrors are still gonna be knocked of by them
Mines fairly fast, I rarely get overtaken in that
i always abused busses overtaking me
by following them 
trucks usually moved over for em as theyre obviously faster

It would be nice if you could stop those training wheels from locking up when braking

I like your avatar
At 20:16 the parking lot started to fill up like crazy.
I pulled in and saw three empty spaces (in a row). As soon as I pulled in, 20 trucks piled up.
They were left without a place )
like the hunger games
and for the last place, two men fought
What yall think about the protests in ireland?
Basically the same as the Stop Oil protests 
i guess.
Idk what spring is, its just all mud
Muddy season
Love the grey on it
The whole port is empty, I'm the only one loading (and the loader with the weighbridge)
The Improvised Truck Art in {akistan
looks very sleek 🙂 and those bullbars mean business. Ever had a chance to ride in a cabover volvo?
hes in america, so he wont
There's the madlads with a scania, surely someone must have some hiding somewhere 😉
You clearly did not understand what he said with that, you could read it again and maybe then you'll get it.
are you stupid or blind?
You can say both maybe 
How’s that a truck?
looks c-chill... ha.. 
Old school daf 
what is blessing my ears
a truck engine im guessing
rather poverty
old trucks feel nostalgic and amazing until you get in an new one
day and night difference
A truck engine doesn’t have a blower
Cleaner
@elder roost the truck got fixed, apparently the fins on clutch or somtheitn that are also for engaging pto broke wich was causing the shifting issues
Should be fixed now 
a good place to wait until tomorrow
Drove link for the first time in my life today
A fully new volvo 780 that just got out the factory
Was a nice experience

that old firetruck looks cool
@short flame
Mercy arocs with 4 wheel lift axle trailer
This video took place in Indonesia
I am still just starting (driving my 4th year now) but man trucking is without a doubt the best job i ever had.
Until ya realize you live in Belgium and get thrown trough the cab the entire day on the roads more than others 
I tried to get it straight for 30 minutes after that lost my motivation and left it
long as the ramp goes in without issue
who cares xd
Connecting 2 trailer when dolly is not straight might cause difficulties
Wouldn’t of been easier grab a strap n drag it straight if needed?
Rarer then a Blue moon.
Scania R 730 T Cab/Torpedo spotted Wednesday 15th M18 Northbound.
i mean yea you'll see em at a show ground like truckfest but it's rare to see them on the road in general especially down my way
ah
isnt air seat& air cab a thing
Not help tough
You’ll still get rocked trough
theres like
10 of em atleast in uk that run daily if not more
Strobe and double Burners done ✅
Next up talmus, super sign and side markers
And need to connect the Pablo's also
True
New yard abuser
Good enough
how high are those mountains?
1 700m
very cool
Indeed it is, that whole valley looks cool af
The Troll Wall (English) or Trollveggen (Norwegian) is part of the mountain massif Trolltindene (lit. 'Troll Peaks') in the Romsdalen valley in Rauma Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located to the south of the towns of Åndalsnes and Molde inside the Reinheimen National Park.
The Troll Wall is the tallest vertical rock ...
Its actually this
beautifull area
I can cook
I can order Wolt
You're rich, and I'm greedy (I'm using a multicooker for soup for the first time in six months)
They named a mountain after my ex
currently doing a very last minute load
I don't drive myself, but I like these pics I got :)
@ivory obsidian hello,can i see your daf key please?
Why is there so much interest in my key?
because then they can copy it
and steal your truck
if they know where u are
Good luck to him, I'm in another country :D.
If only that were enough to stop people from trying anyway
yeah
should never ever share ur keys online if someone asks
even in public etc should keep em out of sight
With all the tools available nowadays, you shouldn't share anything online
True
Tbf trucks are easy to be broken into/ plenty of tools to open doors without keys
I never take pictures of any keys unless I'm dropping off a truck to get worked on
i just want to see i have a daf key too i just want to see the key nothing else
then show your key and well tell ya
doubt its daf key, totally nothing on it saying if it is one or not
I only have three buttons on my key:
- Close the door
- Open the door
- Check the dimensions
Using the key I sent above, she starts the engine, brings me a meal, and checks the tire pressure on my tracked excavator.
yes it power on every light on the truck and you can see if it s working or not
So who stole my trailer light
if there was a sv plated truck
or ag
probably them 





Super sign check ✅
Old school Scania 💪
Boat season starting 🤔
must be excited for that
more places to get to then
Yep and many are in nice places
Did you get a new truck? 🧐
Oh I see
the fog lights don't work on this truck and the drivers side running lights don't work either
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
Sounds like a lovely truck and a driver that takes good care of it 😬
it's a personal preference thing
the truck runs fine it just needs some tender love and care
theyre just behind 40 years thats why they get no extra lights
@void crag @short flame
Talmu's check ✅
today trucking :))
I need some help. I'm looking for floor mats for my 106 DAF (2018 XF, Eco 6). I want to find beige ones with one or three pieces, and made of this material.
My view for tonight
Oh hey I saw a logger like the one on the right today
Woops I guess they were more similar in my head
Is that your truck?
Anyways you'll NEVER GUESS WHO I SAW TODAY
Steep ass dock
yeah ! :))
I'm finally heading home so I don't have to deal with this truck anymore
Hi
Believe it or not, I have never seen a volvo out on the roads before.
photos don't do it justice but the outside black areo faring almost touched the reefer unit
I'm not really a big fan of this truck
niche truck
Wow! I never really looked into Hino but its pretty nice
8x8 Scania XT 😎😎
💀💀💀 unfortunately, this is hyundai 🥀
@short flame
I can't wait to get back into my truck
tought u was already done with that one?
900 kilometers in a day, I think I'll go to bed.
are you not speed restricted? tf
or time limited tacho wise or?
or is drive times not a thing there
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)
5euros? yeah okay i getcha, thats a joke
After that they wished me all the best, and I went on
here it be a few 1000
Our country is made up of crooks
that's why everything looks like one big joke
mhm
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
I own two trucks I have a driver in one and I drive the other one
so whats the story with the black one then?
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
the driver quit
and I had to run the load since I was the only one available
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?
yep
oof
whyd they have u do it tough as your a "contractor" and not one of their own drivers
Yesnt
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?
it was 20 minutes away from where I was and my truck was getting it's brakes changed so I had to take this truck
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
it's my way of helping out since this company has helped me alot
and I'm getting paid extra for doing this
and I'm not a contactor per say I just run under this company but they take a small percentage because I use their fuel cards
ah
so your own driver but work for them ,run their trailers n all just own truck itself
and only work for them
Basically
we got one of those too, runs a trailer of ours own truck, basically does only work for us afaik
Yeah thats definetly not urs
It's my grandads 🤣
🥲
wouldnt happen to be in belgium? 
worse, it's Ukraine
Trucking in morning
I'm finally home

trying something a little different
oh flatbed shit, guess tarping that shit is fun ay?
when I got to the pick up it was already strapped and tarped
Me when i remember this server exists
u just mostly drop n swap?
I mainly do reefer work so sometimes I have to swap to different reefer trailers depending on what I'm hauling
this tree load is new to me and what I've been told it's just pick up a trailer deliver the trees bring the trailer back and swap to another loaded flatbed
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
only benefit is that its breathable tarps i geuss
so when u gotta fold em and pack em theyre way lighter compared to a normal tarp
with the reefers I'll usually have the same trailer for a week or two unless it needs work done or I do a load of flowers
I usually park far away from people when my reefer unit is running

Some here don’t understand that man, I haul tank containers, park furthest away n bundle up with other trucks that ain’t no reefer, then they’ll decide vs parking at other reefers: yes I’ll park next to them with a open n free parking lot
Dont know how many reefers you've heard but the older carrier units dont really do that, the newer carrier units however do that all the time...
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
I mean, I’ve had some old as heck ones parked near not running one constant Rpm/ go on n off every now and then rarely
But it was foreigners with old as heck rundown crap 
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
get this filth out of here
Oh that sucks yea

Got this as a memory today, 10 years ago we picked these 2 up from the Scania dealer
suspicious
Spammed in almost every channel like the frequent scam/phishing attempts? Deff sus
Its just a scam so u click update then download wichever virus
Yes it's spam. One of our Discord mods will have a look at it as soon as possible 🙂
Doing a shit job tbh with how many there are
And how long they allow scams to go on
i didnt even see that it was posted in all the other channels aswell, i just saw something that didnt fit in my beloved #irl-trucking channel and decided that was enough to call it suspicious
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 
The only thing I can offer you is to create a feedback ticket towards the Community Moderation Management.

Oh seems totally legit, I am totally gonna do what those pictures show right now.
This is fun
I was thinkimg i get to go home early
Nah i spend 2 hours cleaning this up
Total loss 6 boxes of eggs and 10cans of øl
this is the moment u come to unload and say: well i got it here aint i? and tell em good luck unloading
xd
The thing is i am supposed to unload
Yes
why tf was shit not secured then
10 cans loss into your pockets yes
Shh
I don't know about a refrigerator, who is responsible for securing the cargo now?
Driver
then, hahaha, unlucky
Not necessarily tho 😬
The driver will be the one getting the fine in the end tho
Also not necessarily true
I gotta wash my truck
Yesterday's shift unloaded a truckload of meal and decided to go home after 5:00 PM without cleaning the pit. By the morning, the meal was completely soaked and hardened. Guess who came to work on their day off to clean the pit?

Deffo's do
Those some dim side markers
Time to head back to Lahti
fixing a few things on my other truck before my driver takes it out on the road

Welp that’s me not leaving our yard
Back to work I see
Yeah
You doing better now?
Yeah
Been back what a week
Yeah I’ll hear about it in dm am sure
That's a nice looking VNL. Mine has almost 2 million kilometers, so the company will be replacing it in the future.
Finally a inverter, am happy can cook food, parked now where there’s nothing near/ has no work time left
Weekend figure out if tv I ordered fits there/ can be hung there versus behind seat
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
Depends on a lot of different things
Like what
The terrain its driven on is 90% flat with slight hills
Weather, weight, amount of tires, speed, how economical you’re driving, etc.
It loads cement with a silo so the load is around 26 to 27 tones the tires are brand new michelins and its driving at around 85/90kmh mostly on the highway
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
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.
plus where your based/ temperatures ,winds n whatnot , if u on mostly flat area usualy wind acts up a lot
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
oh tought u meant of it giving the dirt on the truck lol
that that was waht u complaining about
Nah the dirt is since the weather is bad and we pass through several road works daily
mhm
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
To be fair they don’t run they mostly only run 4x2 trucks
So for them it isn’t a issue
Not really an excuse
No, but it means why it gives you issue and them not
Krone trailers and Schmitz are fine and they are bigger in the rest of EU as well and often behind 4x2 as well
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
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
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 
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
Probably gives of thosw looks due to the crossmembers on them with the position of the what i assume is fuel tank behind it for the reefer
Yeah figured, but yeah fish tanks? It isn’t just an empty reefer pallets with crates get put in with fish or such?
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
So u mean a water tank at the back on the trailer underneath?
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
Diiiirty 
Ah k
Smelly, but better than that stuff floating around the trailer.
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
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.
And thats why we have to have the tanks because its illegal and "so dangerous" if some fish goop leaks out apparently
Yeah i mean it depends on the fish, salmon isnt smelly while white fish is such as cod and so on
And obviously it depends on what the temp those boxes had prior to you getting them and so on
They typically sit in the parking lot for a day or two .. no cooling. But inside the trailer.
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
xd
