Young un
Then again we’re all pretty young here
Think bambi is 19, jolli is 22 I’m 21
Can’t speak for dr or noxii
patent bolt
Older than all of you then 😎
patent bolt
Getting too old now it feels like
rustic bolt
haha same problem
patent bolt
Getting closer and closer to 30 😩
outer current
how old do you have to be to drive a 40+ ton truck?
outer current
ah
patent bolt
The truck I’m driving right now is 60 tons 😛
rustic bolt
why would you need some special age restriction to it?
Yeah
Norway still has the old masses i think? max 60?
patent bolt
Yeah
outer current
I only know it's 21 in Germany... I was just wondering if it's different where you live
patent bolt
And some roads are like 60 summertime and 50 in the winter
rustic bolt
it would be stupid to age restrict certain weights
patent bolt
I think if you get your license while at school here it’s 18 but if you get it like just from a driving school it’s 21
outer current
well you can get a license for smaller trucks earlier
storm tangle
18 in th netherland, from that age you can obtain them licences except for motor, only 125 cc i believe but who drives 2 wheelers? 😄
rustic bolt
and the 25.25m/60t combos are starting to get old here
outer current
ah nvm it's 18 in Germany as well if you do an apprenticeship
patent bolt
True Dr
outer current
and 17 for 7.5ton trucks under certain circumstances
patent bolt
Sweden is getting more and more larger combos
rustic bolt
Our newest addition.. Yes its a MAN 580.. I feel bad too
patent bolt
Just euw 😂
patent bolt
The seats are crap, the steering wheel is crap cuz you can barely tilt it and everything 😂
rustic bolt
But i belive it comes down to price, 2 of those were made, identical combinations, 1 for us and 1 for another company.. So t was some combo deal
patent bolt
Ah I see
rustic bolt
Considering we are dumping the 1 year old Volvo 750 already for nextgen aswell
patent bolt
Our company got a new Scania delivered today
rustic bolt
The mercedes is gone.. and the old MAN will be gone too
patent bolt
We traded in all our 750s to 540 cuz they drank too much fuel and they still drink more than our Scania 730 combos 😂
rustic bolt
Yeah, same here.. for the earlier extra long combination we had, the 750 volvo drank too much diesel and oil
so it gets changed to a nextgen 520
paper bear
volvo make good excavators. and by the sounds of it. Thats what they should stick at
rustic bolt
agreed
patent bolt
Yeah nice cars too, but trucks they can’t just make any good anymore
serene mason
I like mine though 👀
storm tangle
^^
patent bolt
That’s cuz it’s older 😉
storm tangle
I know hah
patent bolt
The new ones are just crap and break down all the f-ing time
serene mason
My dad hasn’t had a problem with his at all
It burns a bit of oil but they all do
750hp is a lot out of a 6 cylinder like that
storm tangle
2th gen fh was a good one but after it , it went sour?
serene mason
And compound turbos
When I worked in the shop, out of all the volvos we had in that weren’t inspections were all the new gen
patent bolt
Our new gens broke down like once a week and constantly ran out of power during 9h rests and all that
We had them for a year before our boss got pissed and told Volvo to shove it and ordered our Scanias for us
patent bolt
Yeah I like the interior especially of the new Scania
serene mason
I’d hate to be a passenger in a new gen volvo
The dash comes so close to your knee that’s in the trans tunnel
patent bolt
Ha yeah coworker of mine didn’t like it too, he sat there screaming “you’re in the ditch driving” all the time even tho I was inside the lines 😂
patent bolt
Yeah we don’t either but sometimes the weather messes with the driving times etc so we need to rush out with blue lights basically and assist each other 😉
Btw speaking of 25.25m combos, they’re so funny to drive on Norwegian roads that just opened to such combos cuz the Norwegians aren’t used to such long combos there so they move out to overtake and then abort and go like “oh sweet Jesus he was long” 😂
serene mason
People always move out my way when I have the 4 axle low loader
They never expect the rear steer

I had 2 stupid cyclists yesterday.
I had to make a really tight turn and they were standing in the middle of the road, right next to my bus.. Told them "If I were you I'd move to the side, or you'll get yourselves crushed under a bus."
rustic bolt
I mean.. Swedes and Norwegians might feel uncomfortable with such power on their east side
yup
I mean.. we do encrypt on the language on the fly..
others may have difficult on trying to understand it, even if they know some of the language

maiden shard
patent bolt
Tomorrow I'm gonna drive a new route with one of our 25.25m which means that I'll go down a bit through Norway on a road that just recently was opened for such long combos, this is gonna be fun. 😃
Nah it's a certain road stretching from Nordkjosbotn 1h south of Tromsö and down to Bjerkvik and then either to Tjeldsund Bridge or further south towards Björnfjell and over to Abisko and Kiruna in Sweden
patent bolt
Yeah funny thing is that along that road is some places which is a bit narrow even for ordinary semi trucks so gonna be fun taking a 25.25 down there
patent bolt
That’s so true, wanted to take a 25.25m down there for a long time and tomorrow I finally can cuz as far as I know there’s not many companies here doing that, it’s like our company and a smaller one with like 2 trucks that go down there every once in a while

1st of all, i'm not trying to impress anyone
Get the facts right
2nd, Please, understand English
Never did i ever try imply that "Oh im the best driver i can do stuff better than anyone else"
I'm very much allowed to talk about things with other fellow truckers, and tell them whats the deal on something
That was brought up

You seriously need to mind your language!
queen brook
Yes, but indeed im allowed to say my opinion
It's not like
Illegal or anything
I saw what you typed before
It's not like you need to ask my opinion for something
If i wan't to ill just come out with one
¯_(ツ)_/¯

I know but I read through it again and ofc you’re most welcome to share your opinion but you still gotta mind your language.
queen brook
Yeah i'm aware but i don't like these whatever dudes jumping on my face
When im trying to
Say something that sounds atleast somewhat reasonable
patent bolt
Yeah but what do you expect from them when you come here starting off like you did earlier today? With that sentence do you expect to be greeted with flowers and candy?
queen brook
No, what i was trying to implify was that driving a 25.25 is hard enough
I never meant to be selfish and that i do that everyday you know
But if you take it out of context
Then it really sounds like that
Context matters you know
patent bolt
I know but still if you look at the first thing you wrote today that comes off rather rude and inappropriate language if you get what I mean in this case
queen brook
Yes i do, but that is what everyone does here, really no one takes offense but i guess then
Has been going on for months
Well not everyone
not trying to generalize
But some people
paper bear
i mean, i read that first comment of Jollis, i just see it as (forgive me for using the word) banter
we say shit like that all the time at work to each other, not in an offensive way, its just how we communicate

Oh
yeah
Im suprised no one paid attention to it
and warned about it
paper bear
im not complaining
queen brook
me neither
patent bolt
The thing is that we can’t notice everything as we have lots of different stuff to do so unless someone points something out for us it’s easy that we miss it.
And I get it that it wasn’t meant in a bad way but if does sound to come off rude and I do get it that you use such language daily without meaning no harm by it, I mean trust me I swear a LOT too daily but this discord still has rules that needs to be obeyed by all of us “for the greater good”.

In my mind, the #irl-trucking is more of place where the drivers can be drives, laugh at pictures of girteka in ditch or curse off some stupid drivers, naturally it would be ideal to have the 'nsfw' enabled in channel settings, not because there would be pictures of company coffee room walls or your truck's new calendar.. but more because of the language and adults talking more openly about things

I was only joking, if it wasn't already obvious.

I had to get the weeds of the terrain last week bc truck in repairs. 😂
Today was the truck for yearly examinatiom(?) And thought i had a long weekend. Got called, could you do a little thing. Little thing was a 12h movenent ffs😂

How stupid can someone be and mistake gravel as sand

Had to make do with a lightweight sheet on the CNC, not my proudest moment but it’s covering up all the open spaces
paper bear
you see Jolli, if you had a telehandler you could get some of that sand out without a shovel, then lay the bucket in the pond and shovel straight into it.
but hey, apparently wheel loaders are superior 😛
storm tangle
Bambi, for sure you wanna discuss normal road behavior in #ets2 ? With the i got an opinion girl😂 i liked ur comment. But they dont even know how to drive a moped normal😂
paper bear
i tried, never again.
and sure, i bet your arms dont think wheel loaders are superior.
queen brook
Telehandlers can't handle this much of snow you know
It's been tested in finland
Won't work
Wheel loaders = more power
Excavators are even more superior for work like what i did
storm tangle
*not this sht again 😂
paper bear
more power doesnt mean its superior
queen brook
😉 you will see
just try one
for the funs of it
I've driven a telehandler once so i can't really say it's shit
It's kinda neutral
paper bear
would like to see a wheeloader place over a ton, 3 stories high onto scaffolding
queen brook
Thats where we use Hiabs and cranes
paper bear
like i said before. wheel loaders are good for bulk, but that is it
queen brook
Not telehandlers
paper bear
telehandlers are quicker
for little lifts like that
no need to set up everytime you need to move something
queen brook
And wheel loaders are quicker for road maintanence and other winter maintanence
Boom
paper bear
it can be half a mile away and you can just grab it and deliver it anywhere
queen brook
so it's 1-1
paper bear
err, no
its 4-1
Wheel loader:
Better for bulk movement. (can carry more in one load)
Telehandler:
More manoeuvrable
Can lift objects higher
Can reach objects further away (no need to move other things to get to desired object so time saved)
queen brook
🙄
queen brook
Imo wheel loaders are more manoeuvrable (damn thats a hard word) because they turn from the middle whatever the english word is
paper bear
they articulate in the middle? ha, no that doesnt mean its more manoeuvrable
queen brook
It is indeed, Kramer has 4 turning wheels and i feel like articulated are better
paper bear
infact, articulating is much less agile than 4 wheel turning
paper bear
compare an articulating body to a 4 wheel steer body with the same wheel base
queen brook
This is what the swing on the front lead to one time
But it's not that bad
It sure is annyoing
but it works
paper bear
end of the day, loadall can turn sharper than a car can. when you full lock around the middle of the telehandler is the pivot point. and it takes 2 times the width t make a full turn.
man, this is difficult to explain
basically, its better 😛
queen brook
🤔
paper bear
turf turning?
queen brook
Yeah thats the word i was looking for
paper bear
yeah, they are more manoeuvrable than a telehandler.
but skid steers are small machines
cant lift nearly as much
paper bear
it can come in handy if its a factory forklift
usually they can get one hell of an angle on the steering
so the back end can almost go sidewways
allowing you to turn without the front end moving forward too much
paper bear
not always
wait
what am i saying
ofcourse it is
but it comes at a price
its a lost cause @storm tangle
im done

serene mason
My abs light keeps coming on and off, my air regeneration warning makes an appearance now and again
And one of our trailers got pulled today
With the studs rotted out of the chambers
patent bolt
Volvos system beeps all the time in ours and Scania is a bit like you can cut corners for hours and it won’t beep but suddenly it’s enough that you look at the stripes and it goes nuts scaring the crap out of you
serene mason
So the pushrod in the chamber was just pushing it out

that reminds me off the time i drove 8 hours with the air pressure alarm going off constantly. Talk about an annoyance....

it was because of a wiring fault, showed no air in the tanks on the dash

Dogs right. Whatever van I buy would be the same age as my car. Early 90's.
And it's a van. What's the point of owning a van if you're scared to get it dirty.
A pickup would be too small tbh. If I'm gonna buy a bigger vehicle I want one big enough to carry 50- odd hay bales.

tune it and build a trailer out of old truck frame that still has gearbox and diff on

Have been thinking about one though, for the horse field

then its just matter of picking the fastest gear and engaging PTO after you maxed out the tractor's gears
Thats how i went +80kmh on a old tractor when i was a kid

i been building cars way too long on rough gravel yard and open sky... now atleast i got roof and concrete floor
Lets just say it sucks when your car suddenly falls through the ground as the gravel gives away

The back of my car is like a toolbox half the time
I have a big boot for a coupe 😉
Also my house has a garage barely big enough to drive into and open the door
I can’t use my dads double garage cause it’s full of shit, even then it’s a squeeze
rustic bolt
I have nice big barn, downside is that it has no electricity
Not that its a problem, for i have a mercedes generator
rustic bolt
I got old 200D which had rolled already respectable 1.2 million km, repurposed it as a 15kW generator
serene mason
How much fuel does it go through
rustic bolt
like 2L/hr
serene mason
Could be worse
rustic bolt
cheaper than getting electrician to run a wires from the house's main panel
and install lighting, and wire the entire thing
serene mason
Yeah
rustic bolt
i paid 150€ for the mercedes, and another 200€ for the generator head
and i run it on red diesel anyways so its damn cheap
serene mason
Yeah you’d be stupid not to
rustic bolt
yup
serene mason
It’s definitely something I want to do eventually
Have my own barn or unit
Then I can hoard welders
rustic bolt
hah
serene mason
One of the things I miss the most about being in the workshop is fabbing stuff up
Gluing metal with metal
rustic bolt
0,822€/l for red diesel isnt that bad, its about 1300€ like every 4 months or so
depends how much fun i have
serene mason
That’s with constant usage?
rustic bolt
no
its not like i burn through 1500L in month or two
at the current rate, i need refill only twice a year
serene mason
Ah so you have tanks
rustic bolt
Yeah
serene mason
You are dedicated man
rustic bolt
I got one for cheap so i bought one
serene mason
Used it more than I thought I would
On renaults ironically
Mk1 clios
One we rammed a Reno 5 gt turbo engine in
And the other lost the oil pump and got the death knock
Towed it back with the bimmer 😂
Ripped the engine out and fit another he had in another Clio he owns

Nah it’s not but long story short a truck driving for us broke down so this company got contracted to bring this trailer and our load north, but it was then 1 day late so to not arrive late I was ordered to fly half way and meet up with it and drive it the last bit north 😛

Nice truck 😮

As a co volvo driver, i really disagree. The sk were strong as hell, didnt had rust. as much as a daf nowadays still has. Did there work good. Actros1 was a bit mweh, but then again, the actros3 till now are pretty decent trucks to drive and work with.

Mercedes Benz gearboxes are rubbish though.
serene mason
Mercs are fleet trucks trying to be real trucks
The only good thing is their chassis support for heavy weights
rustic bolt
Their gearboxes arr hopeless
cosmic condor
@storm tangle MB is bad imo. If my opinion isnt good for you, then dont say your own opinion either
queen brook
Mercedes would be good if they still used >D
ZF
Not their stupid robotic thing
that REALLY wants to downshit when you are trying to join the highway
cosmic condor
The robotic thing is stupid AF
rustic bolt
The pwershit is horrible
queen brook
i see what you did there
rustic bolt
It goes all over the place
queen brook
meh but the rest is a pretty good package
only the gearbox
Volvo is a thing that should have sticked with their cars and wheel loaders
cosmic condor
I dont like MB trucks nor cars
cosmic condor
Volvo wheel loaders are the best
queen brook
Well i totally forgot about Ljungby which is
A good competitor
L18 or L13 is something i would go for
But since our wheel loader arsenal consists of Volvo L110E, Volvo L60G, Volvo L60F, Volvo L60E, Volvo L45G, Wille 455B, Lundberg 6200 LSE, Terex TL120 and Wille 625c i would definetly say
Id take Volvo anytime
cosmic condor
Willes are bad imo
storm tangle
But @cosmic condor your opinion is based on what ur teacher tells you... So you dont have a real opinion imho. Thats like i am saying to a carpenter to use a different hammer even if i dont know anything about it. When you drive, parttime or fulltime, i will take your opinion. Atm your just a fangirl/boy of Scania altho even of Scania you dont know alot as seen in the last discussion.
cosmic condor
@storm tangle My teacher hasnt told us anything about MB. Its all my real life experience from TOP part on school. And I'm not a Scania fangirl. In my opinion MB isnt good and my uncle has the same opinion. So now shush and leave me alone with my opinion
storm tangle
Yeah well let the grown ups here alone then 😉 those with a license and the ones without acting normal instead of shit talkin without a reason. You only give ur uncles opinion, bc how long did you drive in the mb?
cosmic condor
2 months and my uncle has had his work MB for 5 years now
storm tangle
You drove 2months? Thought ur were 17?
cosmic condor
I am but laws are probs different here
storm tangle
Imho i dont care about ur uncles opinion tho. My dad and i differ opinion about daf, but i aint telling his opinion to others bc nobody cares.
Did you drove the mb for work? Going to customers and so too? I spend quite some time in it. Only thing that i know is the gearbox like said above. But i never cared, was a good working truck.
cosmic condor
For work yes. I didnt like it in general. Now leave me alone
thick cedar
You can take a ride on my big green tractor, we can go slow or we can go faster ;)
I'm dead
storm tangle
So, you come here with your 17y and 2 months experience and i need to go? Funny 😂
thick cedar
yea
storm tangle
👋
cosmic condor
I have 1 year of experience. And where do you see a message where I say that you need to leave 
I just said leave me alone with my opinion
storm tangle
Cool thing. Have fun with your uncles/teachers opinion👋
cosmic condor
Its my opinion ffs. CANT U READ?
paper bear
hmm, we can all share our opinions here, no need to make arguments for the sake of making arguments....
queen brook
i just have to ask, what law gives you the ability to drive a truck on the road when 17
Legally
storm tangle
Sure. I dont mind. Sometimes i learn from here, but some ppl, i cant take serious. 17 and a year experience on driving trucks? If you got a link of it in english, or translate it, i dont mind. Then i will see you and your opinion as something serious. Ah i will even say sorry 👌
cosmic condor
You can start to drive with learning vehicle when you turn 17
queen brook
Uhh no you can't
queen brook
You can ONLY drive a truck with a teacher who is lisenced,
And you need B lisence too
So i mean
But what can you do
cosmic condor
@queen brook You need to have B before you can get truck license
storm tangle
He said it..
queen brook
Which is C or CE?
storm tangle
C rigid. Ce is with trailer
queen brook
But i don't think it is legal to drive a truck on the road if you are 17
storm tangle
Back in the day. Buy butter get a license, now for every trailer you need a new one😒
queen brook
You need to be registered in the driving school, and you need B lisence
storm tangle
I didnt think that too
queen brook
But i can't be sure
And you need a teacher who is lisenced driving school teacher whatever to be with you
cosmic condor
You can start to drive without B but with someone with teaching permit
storm tangle
Like i said, if you can prove it. I am sure your government has it online, i will take the opinion more serious.
storm tangle
And start at 17 driving. And still being 17 isnt a year👀
cosmic condor
What ever. I'm out. I dont want to be part of this argument
storm tangle
Just asking for a internet link. Isnt that hard imho
queen brook
im trying to find one
storm tangle
I was real curious. Here you can start b at 17. But not c or ce
storm tangle
Now at the painter👌 finally after almost 5months..
storm tangle
Damn is it working? I mean imho you need the base of driving in a car before driving a truck. Here you have more basic knowledge about traffic at b and for c you get the additional knowledge
😂 well its a experience the first time you drive it. but no, its not on my resume😂
Its never wrong to learn tho
Hell no😂
In 3months its not much, especcially if the driver isnt really willing to learn you stuff.
I am a mover for a year and every day is learning
O ok. Thought so
When you sit at the co drivers seat, you look also for bicycles for them? 👌 😎
3€ is freakin slavery
Nice. Those are the ones you know they will get there mostly
They dont wanna i quess
😂 aint healthy. Eating so little bro.
Atleast minimum wage
Yeah but 12h on a garlic bread is not much
I eat about 10-12 slices of bread at work
Thats sweet👌 my parents stayes sleeping. I got a morning temper like my dad😂
Damn, nice mom 👌 gotta appreciate it
Still its sweet👌 would love to have a mom like that.
Uh😳 😂 my real mom i didnt spoke for 19y😂
Thats true
queen brook
Meh thats why i won't drive anything else than gravel n shit
basically all that ismass
storm tangle
Na no sorry. You couldnt know. Even tho i would hit her👌 its worth the trip with a police car😂
Removals bro. Thats the badass job😎
storm tangle
if it pays👌 why not
queen brook
I mean it's ok but
Not the biggest you can get
17€/h (Not trying to flex on haters)
storm tangle
Mine pay is way lower damn😆
queen brook
Because i've been here for 6 years
started out as an guy who did all the dirty job
Then moved onto wheel loaders
Then after that moved onto excavators/wheel loaders and my loyal gravelking sisu
😉
Depends,
storm tangle
I get 11€😂
storm tangle
Damn. Wished here too. 8y at one boss never got a normal rais. About 10.50€ there
queen brook
I mean when i deal with the client orders
My day is usually like 5 hours
BUt otherwise it starts 5:00-17:00
Between that
meh its just go get the stuff you the dude has ordered, like 0-40 gravel or smthing
Get to the jobsite
Disconnect the trailer
Tip the truck itself first
Then get the box on
Tip it
Then go get more
Thats basically as easy as it can get
easiest it can geT*
thick cedar
ye
rustic bolt
Indane pay for low effort work
queen brook
How is it hard?
rustic bolt
Insane
queen brook
Shut up man
storm tangle
😂
queen brook
We go with Maa/Vesirakennus
which is 16e according to TES
Stay loyal and do your work good
Thats how you get the big guns
Meh, usually the pay for us is around 16€
17 isn't too big
But when you get to the big league
It can get all the way up to 20
16 is the normal pay for truck drivers hello?
queen brook
I started from 7€
storm tangle
Big firms squeeze more bc your a statistic for a book keeper and a big expense. Small firm are more willing pay bc your a loyal good hard worker from my experience
rustic bolt
around 16€ base
queen brook
Boi ill flex on you one day
queen brook
??:D
storm tangle
Me too. They say dutch drivers too expensive😂
queen brook
I actually need to check my next payroll
If im terrible wrong
Or im just lying to myself
But i don't think i am
rustic bolt
But you want to know a secret?
storm tangle
I never mind my pay. Next day its gone too bills😂
storm tangle
But still 16€. Here we are glad with 12😂
rustic bolt

storm tangle
😂
rustic bolt

storm tangle
I hate work in general😂
queen brook
Dude i wanna be an ahtaaja
