I am fast enough in my work that i have time to stop by to eat unhealthily

rustic bolt
you dont pull several hundred kg carts or 500kg pallets on snow every winter
rustic bolt
well meat loads i do with forklift
and depending on potato place, on forklift or atleast lift with forklift to the truck and then with pumps to its place

When i drove the hiab,
It was
painfull

The guy was so fast
He was just brining the planks and stuff
and i had to put liftstraps

Actually, mud or whatever tha bagged earth is, is best one
theres guys bringing you 2 FIN pallets at time with wheel loader

to be honest the yellow and black actually suits it. never thought I'd say that,
rustic bolt
maybe i would've flipped the colors around
serene mason
They pull black trailers too so it kind of goes well
I would have gone for a different font for the sign writing though, a little bit bland
crimson turtle
minimalist I guess.
although it's a bright yellow truck so it's not exactly discrete
serene mason
That isn't bright yellow
rustic bolt
Though looking at the house behind.. seems quite big company
crimson turtle
I suppose not. it's nearly orange

those midlifts always make me laugh
rustic bolt
because it doesnt have to
rustic bolt
65% of the vehicle must be on double wheels

the horrible tyre resistance
queen brook
Friend sent me a nice pic
How does 25 tonnes go through this?
@rustic bolt whatcha think
granite cosmos
25 tons over 2 bogies?
or 25 tones spread over truck + trailer?
(ie. stake truck)
granite cosmos
that's pushing it on that thing yeah
queen brook
I think he just needs to leave the stuff at the side of the road
And customer can pick them up
queen brook
Well yeah, i wouldnt recommend tho
Its a 4 axle MAN, maybe the weight would balance tho
Or it will yeah but
I dont know is it enough
granite cosmos
2 front and 1 bogey with 2?
queen brook
1 in front and and 2 at back
granite cosmos
uhm, that's 3 axles? ๐
queen brook
Well 2 lifting at the back
granite cosmos
k
queen brook
granite cosmos
I'd call that risky myself
queen brook
Basically same like this
granite cosmos
yeah, bogey with 3
granite cosmos
if the bridge has bracing underneath as well maybe
queen brook
Get some speed maybe it will go over by luck
Umm it does have but its wooden bracing
granite cosmos
if it's like the top bracing, and bolted, it should be able to handle quite a bit of load
queen brook
It usually can handle more than it says
But 25 tonnes, who knows
Maybe i should go with my casette to try 1st
68 tonnes
Easily would go over
granite cosmos
the biggest risk with bridges that are relatively short like that is point loads, and since it's a tripple bogey, as long as they are down, you have a good distribution of the load on the bridge
queen brook
The axle lenght is so small
It should be bigger
Longer i mean
Then it would balance it better
Wheelbase longer
granite cosmos
if it's similar to that truck, the bogey seems to be about as long as the bridge, +/- a meter or two
near the anchor points, the bridge is incredibly strong, so the worry is when the load is on the middle, and that's when point loads are the worst, but it also of course depends on the age and maintenance on the wood
but I agree, a longer wheelbase, and ideally 1 axle further towards the front would make it more ideal for traversing such a bridge
queen brook
Yeah, i forgot i still need to pull my trailer on
rustic bolt
Theres a funny 20 ton bridge before a certain tomato plantation, the bridge is about half metres long, and it has weight limit of 20t
No matter how hard you try, only single axle will ever touch it at once
crimson turtle
just foot down, close your eyes and pray.
granite cosmos
it'll work once at least

#Frenchtrucking
rustic bolt
so did the cruisecontrol shift in neutral etc to save fuel?
the drive aids the scania gives you no matter what
but the cruise control is brilliant in the scania, it maps the roads it goes and uploads it back to scania, similar to volvo, except i dont think you need to pay for that
also mine got several updates to the cruisecontrol, now it knows how to keep the speed withn limits when coming down the hills even..
no longer blasting down 105kmh in neutral down a hill
serene mason
What a shame
rustic bolt
tyres dont like it
rustic bolt
yeah, for tyres that are rated for what, 120kph?
rustic bolt
which are under VERY heavy pressure anyways already since the trailer wheels especially are 445mm supers
rustic bolt
i dont think the rating is very high here
since the trucks shouldnt go over 80kmh anyways
serene mason
Singles are usually J
patent bolt
Well yeah mine releases the gears even before we start rolling downhill
rustic bolt
and mine puts gear back in to use some engine braking
when it comes down the hill, and near bottom it releases it again
patent bolt
And I would never like the cruise control you have then, I usually roll down the mountains at 120 to 130 ๐ฌ
serene mason
Then after about a minute the tacho starts shouting at you
serene mason
Once I was at 110 downhill on the motorway and I see this Irish scania rolling up on me, he comes past and I looked in awe just to see the driver smashing the enter button on his tacho
rustic bolt
lol
patent bolt
I remember last time in workshop the mechanic connected his computer to the truck to try and find an error code to a fault I had but he found like loads of error codes with the same number and clicked on one to see what it said and there it was "speed limit exceeded" and I just laughed and said "oh yeah that's that mountain pass" he couldn't hold himself from laughing then ๐
serene mason
Yeah the best fault code is lost signal from tacho
rustic bolt
...
patent bolt
Hahaha yeah
serene mason
Up to the driver if he wants to risk it
rustic bolt
I remeber the F volvo with paper disc tacho, drive into a bump and the tacho unit takes a hit from it, suddenly speedo falls out of game and so does the tacho
patent bolt
One thing bout scania tho, I swear the ESP is trying to kill me in bends
serene mason
Some old trucks if you turn the key back but not enough to click the speedo drops off and no limiter
rustic bolt
Or in 3 series, just take the limiter + tacho fuse out
Its even labelled as speedlimiter
serene mason
Yeah it has tipex on it also
rustic bolt
And a whack to the speedo and most likely it disconnects entirely
Along with the tacho
patent bolt
What...
serene mason
Lmao
patent bolt
Dang bot...
Well I was saying one more negative thing about scania is the bloody lane departure warning, you can cut lanes all over the place for hours but then all out of nowhere when miles from the sides it starts beeping like crazy
Scaring the crap out of ya
rustic bolt
That thinks even snow is some line and it picks up the line from like 2m away
So it keeps buzzing all time
serene mason
Isn't there a switch for it
patent bolt
Well scania gets the snow too
rustic bolt
Yeah
serene mason
What's snow?
rustic bolt
You cam turn it off
patent bolt
And ye but then you get a warning light in the dash and I dislike that, I like it clean ๐
serene mason
Ahhhhh
patent bolt
But the adaptive cruise control is awesome
patent bolt
Except when it quite doesn't notice some car turning off up ahead and that it's clear of the road when we reach it and it floors the brakes instead
patent bolt
Yeah exactly, that one really scares the crap out of you too sometimes or when you just drive normal without it on and you are in the same situation and the collision warning just goes "nope" and decides to take over ๐
rustic bolt
Yup
For automatic, its really good
Me who disliked and didnt see point in automatics in trucks..
Scania has atleast made a working one
patent bolt
Yeah true and the new one is even better
I used to drive in Stockholm before and trust we had a bunch of volvos there and getting out with a manual 460 in that traffic sure took its time
rustic bolt
Yup
patent bolt
I preferred the ishift we had since they're both good and faster than a human
rustic bolt
Yup
patent bolt
And we used to have dual clutch ones here before our boss told Volvo to shove it and bought Scania's for us and that gear box was really nice
But also basically the only nice thing about Volvo
Well that and the electric sun shade
patent bolt
Why so?
serene mason
So many issues with them
patent bolt
More like issues with volvo
serene mason
I've not seen one in a while so idk whether they fixed it or not
patent bolt
We had issues with everything except the gearbox on ours
patent bolt
Some froze when it got below -20 and then the truck lost effect and try dragging a 50 ton heavy truck up a mountain pass in the winter with just 200hp
Ah yeah ours used to be called "hybrid trucks" at the company we drive for since we could never start them after a 9h rest with only running the heater, so we had to plug them in and charge then each day ๐
serene mason
It makes me ashamed cause I know they should be better than that
patent bolt
Yeah me too, but yeah hour scania trucks we run for 20+ hours with the heater on, watching tv for hours and having lights on etc and they start instantly without any issues
patent bolt
Nah, that one I just drove extra in my week off
serene mason
๐๐
What's your obsession with removing the mudguards though
Or do you guys like to rip them off
patent bolt
Too high so scratching on the trailer
patent bolt
Nah they got round and flat, round are original while flat are extra option
serene mason
Do the tag axles do that stupid thing where the air suspension goes up quite a bit with the axle up
We have a midlift that turns into a dragster with the axle up
patent bolt
Yeah it goes up a little bit when I lift the rear axle yeah
serene mason
Also we have a name for tag axles here

@serene mason From what i know its just under the topline so yeh i'd say it is but if you put it next to an old topline its bigger so its quite funny lol.

I think it's taller because of the flat floor. I do like the s series though

Yeah possibly. Yeh me too there quite nice.

I used to think it looked like a daf and a reno t range mix but it's grown on me

Yeh I didn't like it at first but now I've been in one etc they're better.
Nah its auto they dont need more then 580 v8 thats one of the only V8's they have as all they need is really 480-500

He does bulk tankers so I would like a 4.1m tag axle so there's room for the blower equipment but he isn't a fan of them
serene mason
How much does one of them new 580s cost though
We priced up a tag R490 a while back for a laugh and it was 119k
proud saddle
Not sure. As when my dads boss bought the truck he took it to a company called tranztech
So extra cost etc
I'd say like 150k maybe not totally sure probably a lot more baring in mind he was discountec etc

So basically you have your mums minivan as your profile picture. that's genuinely sad.
I'd also like some scientific evidence driving a truck is "bad for your health"
"you crash you most likely die". you really are an uneducated child. it amuses me.
there's a reason cars cause more truck crashes than the trucks themselves.
that's a pathetic arguement.
"they can't brake as much" I'm pretty sure most modern trucks could brake quicker than any 20+ year old rustbox car on the road. Mine included.
with a trailer.
I know the laws of physics thanks.
truck drivers are restricted on how many hours they can drive. Car drivers aren't.
yes. But it's a car that I paid for. not mummies MPV
then you definitely can't say a thing about my car when you drive an echo. the offical car of driving at 20mph on your way to bingo.

it's sad to see. afther 5 years the player count declined and wa couldn't get it up for the past half year
and we ran out of money to keep it going. the staff team chipped in themself to keep it going and maybe save it
but sadly we couldn't
hollow zenith

Everywhere wants at least a year of having your class 1
hollow zenith

jolly orbit
Ye lol
serene mason
Unless youโre lucky enough to find a company or agency willing to hire you
Even then the money is pretty bad
Youโre lucky to get more than 9 quid an hour, especially on general haulage
jolly orbit
@serene mason he has had class one for a while and just decided to go full class 1 as he gets more as had it for a year
He also changed company that pays better lol I don't blame him I have a relative who has been driveing hgvs for 20years he does all sorts of hauling from car transporter to crazy wide/valuable load

Ouch
When it gets cold outside my house, the road becomes ice and deliveries to shops nearby get diverted to roads that have been given grit. Because iโve had many truck crashes outside -_-
Thereโs a school and delivery routes on the school road yet thereโs no grit
But hope everything goes alright in the snowy weather

Almost like our Man's trailer, it sprouted suddenly one day trees out of it, like through the roof... Yeah that was end of that trailer, Was about time that trailer got killed

that was embarassing

clearly you havent driven an old Sisu
You dont know a slack shifter untill you driven an old fuller
queen brook
Isnt E11 old enough ๐ฐ
rustic bolt
no
When the cab swinged in SM just right.. it knocked the shifter linkage so that it nudged it out of the gear.. if the linkage was loose.. in M162 it was like a broomstick in a empty bucket
in M162, the gear pattern never corresponded to what was written on the tin, and each truck was bit unique in their own way
earliest models had a 2-speed rear which you manually had to enable from steering column
