Yeah in the middle of nowhere outside Vittangi in northern Sweden ain’t much people there 😝

#

And nice truck Pete379! 😱

queen brook
#

American trucks look a bit rough imo

#

But thats cool

rustic bolt
#

they look old

#

mostly because they are

#

they dont have this thing called emission requirements or rust..

#

So they can easily run around with 30 year old truck, just re-tube the engine couple times

#

or the engine efficiency has not gone up in the time period either so it doesnt make sense to buy a new one because of fuel efficiency and savings

serene mason
#

They do run adblue on new trucks I believe

rustic bolt
#

yes but nobody cares are you driving 2010 or 1980s truck, neither does it show up in fuel costs either

serene mason
#

A lot of Americans refurb their older trucks

#

There’s a company called Fitzgerald glider who do a really good job

#

@patent bolt Nice truck xD

#

Like in TMP ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

wow, i must be living under a rock... i thought it was still deliXL

storm tangle

#

#

when did they change over?

storm tangle
#

Few years ago man.

uncut bronze
#

hmm, i guess some have still been driving under their old logo then... i've seen deliXL trucks a few months ago

storm tangle
#

yeah, its quite expensive to sticker it all i quess, also their trucks are going out and its being transported by Cornellissen Transport, the same that drives for Kruidvat

storm tangle
#

I know. Worked at hanos too

#

I delivered there😂

#

Sheffield? England?

#

Damnz bro. Quite the distance between those

#

Nice going👌

#

Grootegast. Where HRM sits

I know, the most were repainted after they went from Gastronoom to deliXl.
I got some pics, they had it on.

Nice the lzv of them. I know Dave drove one, also from deliXl Almere that was closed so he drove from Ede

#

I know. Almere and ede had a sort of fight between eachother. Bc ede took all the customers away back then.
I dont know who bert is tbh. Its funny you work there. Was my first real company to work, having a lot of good memories about it

Those are some bald tires

#

woa

whole dragon
#

the tread blew on the highway

#

thats how it blewout

queen brook
#

Meh i just eye them around

#

Sometimes maybe grab a hammer

#

and try them out

#

When im in the mood™

#

Meh maybe

#

But i dont really feel like inspecting dualies

#

I just take a look on what i can

#

Finland

#

Im a gravel guy so

#

I have the easiest job

#

What you can ever imagine of

maiden shard
#

@whole dragon the tire is skinny

rustic bolt
#

When i do check the tyres, i do random checks on 2 nuts on each wheel, and if visually looks like they are loose, or they are loose. I check all nuts

serene mason
#

If you’re checking 2, you might aswell check all 10

#

And driver checks are purely visual checks unless you aren’t sure about something then comes the boot

#

Is that secure? kicks

#

Yep

#

With that tire, it was either a crap job when making/crappy retread or there was a mahoosive gash to cause the tread to lift away like that

#

Also

#

This months job (probably)

#

60+ years old machine still going strong, and worth an absolute fortune

storm tangle
#

nah only bc of the euro norms, we drive a fl7 from 27y old but bc euro shizzle we need a new one

#

most trucks are also lease, so thats why they keep it new 😉

serene mason
#

Leasing is an expensive but hassle free way of operating a truck

#

In theory

rustic bolt
#

We buy our stuff, drive it for 800,000km and replace, it pays itself back in reliability and low consumption

#

Trailers are only thing that stays as long as they are suitable, untill size limits get upped again

serene mason
#

Until they fall apart

candid solstice
#

I always thought leasing would be a better option with regards to running costs, warranty and meeting emissions

rustic bolt
#

Leasi g works in south europe because you have only semi trailers

serene mason
#

Overhaul the brakes once a year, drums, shoes, cams, the lot and they last forever

rustic bolt
#

Here we got built to order and so colourful and different trucks

serene mason
#

For general haulage across the uk, leasing is the way for uk hauliers

#

They have the money to spend

rustic bolt
#

Yup

#

Viable in south europe as everything is same

serene mason
#

In uk all the trucks are the same anyway

#

3.9m pusher

rustic bolt
#

Not here, the box lenght, height, inside structure, 2-level loading bars, wall rails.. refrigerator location and size, is it 2-zone.. you just dont have a standard here, so leading wouldnt work really

#

Your leasing truck would have "something like that" not "what i need" equipment

serene mason
#

Yeah nobody runs the same setup

rustic bolt
#

Definitely not here

serene mason
#

Companies that run bdf 🤢 combos buy their kit over here

#

So do we, not usually new though

rustic bolt
#

Also thats the reason why the shit trailer manufacturers like Schmitz or krone has no foothold here.. they arent adaptable and not offering built to customer specifications at all for same price as here

#

They have nothi g to offer in good price

Getting some dairy milk hauled with the new 06 Columbia

#

One of our Sisu's have 2 million in it

#

#

Around a million

#

Both are Rauta Ruukki's old ones

#

Wtf

storm tangle
#

😂

rustic bolt
#

Its so cute

candid solstice
#

those chrome wheels don't suit it at all

storm tangle
#

alcoa wheels, imho they suit quite nice, but if it was for me, i would have them black with a chrome wheel ring, like the volvo has

candid solstice
#

that's what I was thinking, either that, or black wheel with chrome ring at the back and coloured wheel at the front with a chrome ring

storm tangle
#

yup but i got not much to say about it, only how to make it easier doing loading/unloading

queen brook
#

i dont like that color at all tbh

storm tangle
#

i am a big fan of the volvo colors, but missing the black on the cabin 😐

rustic bolt
#

Also pure white rims could be nice

candid solstice
#

would get filthy very fast though

rustic bolt
#

Still

#

@maiden shard @thick cedar that tire is for my 3500 ram. not a commercial truck.

shell breach
#

I never saw a truck with painted rims in my life, alcoa rims are incredibly common over here

#

Not much people bother with polishing their rims tho

willow cove
#

Ive seen a few trucks with painted rims

#

very rare

#

usually just plain black

gloomy portal
#

a lot of them here have a painted rims

#

and very customised trucks

#

i've seen the odd one or two plain trucks and thats it tbh

#

its weird ik, but thats Leeds for ya

#

a lot are company trucks but it's like it's someone's own truck cos of how they customise it

#

pretty good tbh

frail tartan
#

complete opposite here

storm tangle
#

I got painted rims. Black as the night but still thug lifehaha

serene mason
#

Imo painted wheels should stay on the older trucks

#

Durabrites belong on new trucks

rustic bolt
#

And fat singles belong to trailers

keen atlas
willow cove
#

Kinda not funny but okay

queen brook
#

I mean that doesnt really belong here imo

#

But allrighr

rustic bolt
#

Why is this here and not in videos?

rustic bolt
#

Memes and trash goes to videos

#

This is mostly for priginal content amd discussion, not some random trucks jumping over hills or american police chases

serene mason
#

Fancy words coming out now dog

visual hawk
#

Any love for American trucks

rustic bolt
#

No

visual hawk
#

Listen here

rustic bolt
#

Yeah yeah, its a truck

visual hawk
#

Not just any truck

#

A Pete 389 and a international 9400i

storm tangle
#

🍆 🍆 💦

#

😂

rustic bolt
#

Shrug

#

Its some ancient truck

visual hawk
#

You see unlike European trucks the ancient ones are actually good.

#

You also don't need a electronic log

rustic bolt
#

... primitives

#

You dont want to even change

queen brook
#

LOL

rustic bolt
#

Thats why your car industry sucks, and your truck industry has grinded to halt and stuck in 1980s, with same old inefficient engines

queen brook
#

European trucks are like

#

100% better

#

ngl

#

I mean sure, americans make them safer

rustic bolt
#

Not really

queen brook
#

with the pointy front

#

If you go on a head on

#

Mehi mean

rustic bolt
#

But the cab shatters to pieces

queen brook
#

True that

rustic bolt
#

Not sure if theres actual metal anywhere apart from the frame

#

I seen few americans crash and the engine block is in place, the cab however is in million pieces

#

As if its some fibreglass

queen brook
#

Niittikoppi

#

Breaks in 1000 pieces

#

Basically the same

storm tangle
#

Rather have a engine underneath me then infront, crashing and got a engine swap with my legs

rustic bolt
#

Yup

#

Ill rather have the car dive underneath.me, than have it head on me, or the engine coming to me

willow cove
#

Youd have to have a terrible impact with a lot of force for that to happen

rustic bolt
#

60 tons when crashed at 80kmh weights quite alot

willow cove
#

Of course

rustic bolt
#

Especially even in america where you drive even faster.. with shit brakes

#

Its even more fatal

willow cove
#

Well, our trucks are a lot more heavier

#

And bigger

#

Than yours

rustic bolt
#

Haha, heavy?

#

Dont make me laugh

willow cove
#

Laugh I dare ye

storm tangle
#

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

rustic bolt
#

What are the max weights?

storm tangle
#

Not much i quess,. Rust doesnt weight so muchhaha

queen brook
#

i think its 36 tonnes

candid solstice
#

that's it? wat

rustic bolt
#

Lol

#

36 tons

storm tangle
#

Serious? 36tonnes? haha

rustic bolt
#

I can load that to a truck alone

storm tangle
#

Gotta love the americans, always think they win😂

rustic bolt
#

Yup

#

Sooo big and ignoramt

storm tangle
#

^^. Yup.

queen brook
#

I can load 36 tonnes in 1 minute

#

Definelty not a wheel loader

storm tangle
#

I load approx 3tonnes. By hand and ubload the same 3tonnes by hand. Gotta love removalsconfused

serene mason
#

Why are Americans so bothered about e logs/digi tachos

#

The amount of cameras there are nowadays it doesn’t matter if you’re running new or old, if your truck had a movement at 5am and you’re still going after 8pm when your 15 is up it’ll get noticed

willow cove
#

Now you can’t lie on paper logs

serene mason
#

It’s all the same shit

willow cove
#

Which is what everyone used to do

#

Not really

#

Paper logs, could just make stuff up

#

Go driving all day without a break and write down you took one

#

No one would know

storm tangle
#

Paper logs is before the analog tachograph for us, not even my dad knows paper logs anymore. And imho paper logs, analog tachograph shouldnt be hard job to lie on

serene mason
#

What’s the point tho nowadays

#

Cause you will get caught

#

Doesn’t take a genius to figure out what distance you’ve travelled vs your speed

#

Or should I say time and distance = speed

#

Tbf I’m being a hypocrite cause I set my tacho on break when I’m on a job

storm tangle
#

^^ 😂

#

yeah, indeed you always get caught we aint the first ones doing that trick

#

and them fines, are horrible

thick cedar
#

hm

#

guys

#

do you prefer imperial or metric?

#

i prefer metric

shell breach
#

Metric

willow cove
#

Imperial for me

storm tangle
#

Metric grew up with it.

rustic bolt
#

Metric

#

Theres not really option

queen brook
#

#

The other one?

My dad used to drive truck before he passed away..this brings some memories back but not many..

#

And you brits think you have big hills? You should see the one hill up towards nescopeck Pennsylvania

#

Flipping 45° angle or more or less but i know it's atleast 40° and it's hell on some trucks without enough horsepower

#

It goes up 4000 or more feet and it's near three mile island aswell

Man

Just like i dont know that, but me @rustic bolt @serene mason @paper bear @storm tangle usually talk off topic here

#

So better get used to it

serene mason
#

Flynn’s just salty cause he posted some garbage the other day and got jumped on for it

#

Besides Jolli is assessing a job so it still ties in with the job, still on topic technically

rustic bolt
#

Everything is on topic what i say

#

This is place for real drivers to talk freely without some random MP player coming to break the discussion with some player report in totally wrong place

rustic bolt
#

It was some other guy

paper bear

my apologies your highness, we shall never stray from talking about trucks again. @thick cedar

They aren't in the condition of their life

Read-only permission for everybody, write only for confirmed

In this channel

queen brook

rustic bolt
#

Yeah

queen brook
#

we could suggest to make this NSFW

#

So dudes wont complain

#

about the language usage

#

and other things like that

rustic bolt
#

Thats my dream

queen brook
#

i mean i could try

#

Go +1 it after

#

Sure

queen brook

There

#

Hopefully

rustic bolt
#

Done

queen brook
#

@serene mason @storm tangle @paper bear

Lets win this debate

#

@dense kraken maybe you could join too 😉

#

I mean im not sure will it help that much

#

But probably we wont have people complaining

#

about using some harmless swear words

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

no

#

all you have to still do

#

is appreciate what sisu auto oy has given us

#

and praise it

#

Go +1 it now

so we can consider

You still haven't +1'ed it

You still haven't +1'd my discord suggestion

@dense kraken man

#

You just wont listen

shell breach
queen brook
#

nvm

it instatly got denied

#

Nothing we can do

#

Man

#

we really need our own one

#

Why not make on then?

#

am i right

#

i don't know if the gang is in for that tho

#

who cares

#

it would replace this channel

#

I just need opinions on who are in

#

And if anyone wants to

#

I mean there we could do whatever we want to

#

No need to worry about being banned or smthing

#

Ehh i guess

#

I mean, technically it could work

#

and what not

#

Uhh

#

I mean

#

That would be you

paper bear
#

Eh, if this server didn't have dicks on it then that would solve our problems.

queen brook
#

yeah thats why we need private

candid solstice
#

well it was only really one unsavoury person who took things too far

#

usually things are ok in here

paper bear
#

Fine for now, just the occasional hickup but nothing major. If we made our own server then it would just be us kinda limits the numbers you know?

queen brook
#

yeah

#

Limits what?

#

Surely we could invite more

#

but not these 12 years who think

#

they are truckers

storm tangle
#

upvoted the suggestion, downvoted konfig

serene mason
#

There’s not enough of us to have our own discord really, besides i like laying into people who come in here with stupid sh... stuff

The most comfortable truck for the driver ?

#

And most features ?

rare prairie
#

Renult T was voted as one of the best, by Commercial Motor, before the Scania S and R came out. But the new Scania is supposed to be amazing.

serene mason
#

Scania seats are some of the comfiest

#

And the trick even tells you how many hours you can drive and work, when you’ll need to take your weekly rest etc

#

Truck

sleek pagoda
#

I had the pleasure to sit and drive booth of the trucks 😄 and the scania is more comfortable and practicle 😃 And the french RENAULT dumbs made like everithing thay can electric so... the fridge electric lock the outside cases electroc lock the car I hve been in had like 20 000KM and the driver side case was broken 😄

#

and what i love on Scania S and R is the light control panel on the doors 😄 awsome

#

but if i had to chose one perfect it will be mic of the new Scannia New volvo and Iveco highway and renault T 😄

serene mason
#

I’d probably have a 6 series scania

#

One of the most refined trucks on the market

sleek pagoda
#

But i fell something strange in MAN 😄 i just dont know why i love it maybe for the simplicity.

#

The old man was something 😄 that's a true TRUCK 😄

#

Them old M.A.N. smell. Love it👌

queen brook
#

meh i feel bad for everyone who is not finnish/norwegian/swedish

#

Because they need to drive those portable toilets

#

I mean, how much can you even take in there

#

like goods

#

I mean that thing what you posted

#

what is the max mass in it

#

With cargo

#

Yeah its still a portable toilet but how much cargo can you take in

#

meh when you try an 25.25 in the city

#

You will change your mind

#

how can that be 25

#

Well

#

maybe the pic makes it look shorter

#

I dont know

#

shorter

#

Picture gives wrong imperssion then

#

but how much can you load in that

#

I mean im trying to compare that to a dolly combination

#

ehh i don't know

#

But i doubt the masses are big in that one

#

I would guess it's like

#

What is that rule supposed to be 😮

#

I never heard of such

#

Im guessing you can load 36 in that

#

Or well, the max weight is probably 36

#

I dunno

#

meh, here you just need CE and you're good to go

#

Actually i think that is only 22 meters

#

25.25 is only allowed in Finland and Sweden

#

But it's being tested in other countries too

storm tangle
#

60t max weight in a 25,25

queen brook
#

Or well i don't know how old article this is

#

only 60 tonnes? damn

#

I mean

#

thats pretty goodi guess

storm tangle
#

Too much walking😒 😂

queen brook
#

But i have never seen anyone use dolly combinations in other parts of europe

#

but possible

#

maxium in Finland is 76 tonnes if it haven't been changed

storm tangle
#

Quite rare here to. Mostly for city adresses. And the trailer for hospitals

queen brook
#

I don't know about HCT's tho

storm tangle
#

Thats more effective then here.

But you really don't reach those masses

#

Expect with "transfer dumps" and

#

well everything that is basically mass

#

If you know what i mean

storm tangle
#

I think so, then again you never have to be scared about your weight mass. 👌

queen brook
#

Damn

@thick cedar if you think thats bad, try a 6 wheeler with that wheel base.

even worse

queen brook

I would love to try out

one of these bad boys

But the only problem here

is that the SLP

Which is literally

the worst maker for these boxes

#

Their locks don't work

And shit like that

#

I would take Kome anyday

#

I drove this thing last fall

and damn did

I love the Kome setup

#

The only thing that was good about the truck

#

was the legendary scania whistle

#

That you heard everytime taking off from the pit

digital moon

It's not practical.

#

It's used for retail distribution... Then a DT is not usefull

storm tangle

Isnt this one driving depots? I dont know tbh, not a big fan of it. Yeah no pun intended

Are the b trains the same as the likes of Finland, where the front trailer has to have steer axles

queen brook
#

No

maiden shard
#

hi

queen brook

But it really depends

#

if 3 axled then they usually have a steering one

#

But im not sure if it's mandatory

How long are those VAK semis

#

I saw a mod pack with that trailer and it’s just absurdly long

serene mason

No chance id drive one of those

#

It’s bad enough when we have to trombone one of our trailers

#

Give me a full trailer any day over that stupid design

rustic bolt

19,5m the long trailers

That long trailer with dolly works though, if i understood right, one of our meat trucks gets it

But hey

if it's cummins it's ok

rustic bolt

Not good kind Cummins

these are probably less comfortable than our modern eu trucks

Yeah 4x2 semi trucks are considered a sin, might as well save some money and buy a Ram 3500

#

but you live in europe

#

so its forgivable

#

yall have that thing where your scared to hurt the road and have 20 axles per trailer

storm tangle
#

Rather that, then driving an old brick of rust

#

Then again i dont drive for the show, just for work. Also getting paid by the hour instead of miles.

tame elk
storm tangle
#

Now we are talking👌

#

Just bc volvo👌 😎

visual hawk
#

Yeah you have a death wish if your pulling +50t up mount Eagle, also it depends if you work for a company or not, companys are moving to hourly but brokers are staying with mile pay cause they like to actually have the load delivered on time

tame elk

huh

#

til rolls royce made trucks

#

no opinion

tame elk

The engine

storm tangle
#

Ah so you guys are slowly geting paid, how it should imho.

Here its legal to drive 50tons. Most of europe 40tons.

visual hawk
#

hm

paper bear
#

You can drive more than 40t in UK, you just get taxed more.

visual hawk
#

also you need stupid permits to go over 55t in my state atleast each state is different dag gum pennsylvania taking 100t steel trailers but once they reach state border the got to break it up to around 35t trailers to avoid getting impounded

paper bear
#

And need an uprated unit

visual hawk
#

as much as convoy and all the other truck movies are good they somehow managed to get politicians to slap on more laws

#

its also illegal to convoy now

#

even if you have the same load to the same place

omg

Why does Simon Gibson have a vn770

Why not an nh12

rustic bolt

That thing looks disgusting

tulip bramble
rustic bolt
#

Also @visual hawk we load same or more stuff on trucl alone than you allow on entirecombimation. Amd we aremt afraid of hills because we developed methods of slowing down. Rather than making metric fuckload of noise and not slowing down and having to rely on a gravel ramp to stop you

queen brook
#

Lmao

tulip bramble
#

lol

queen brook
#

36 tonnes isnt like anything

#

Thats too little payload

rustic bolt
#

I belive our new Man (ayy) has total mass of around 40t, and the trailer is another 50t

queen brook
#

Like imagine when driving gravel to a worksite, heck just bring 2 76 tonne combinations and you got it

#

But with 36 you need to do double the amount

rustic bolt
#

You het jack shit done with 36

queen brook
#

You right

#

More mass more efficent working

#

Since you can bring more cargo

rustic bolt
#

Yup

#

And cheaper

#

And exonomical and environmentally friendly for those who care

queen brook
#

I mean whats the max mass for american transfer dumps too

#

Im guessing 36

#

For the whole combination?

tulip bramble
rustic bolt
#

They dont know of such device proba ly

queen brook

They do

rustic bolt
#

At best they got mid axle tipper

queen brook
#

But they are from the middle age lol

rustic bolt
#

No big suprise there

queen brook
#

They still dont have a hitch that actually makes sense

#

Its like a tractor hitch

Which kinda made me lmao

#

When i watched a vifeo about it

Useless

visual hawk

yeah its for "multi purpose reasons" even though every one uses the fifth wheel

rustic bolt

That trailer is max 18 tons or something

queen brook

And aah

rustic bolt

In the end leaving you about 8t of payload...

visual hawk
queen brook
#

How many axles can i see...

rustic bolt

And that thing doesnt turn

And it just eats tyres

queen brook
#

Umm thats a special transport tho

u right

dont need to

queen brook
#

I dont think you see those daimy

rustic bolt
#

So its also useless

queen brook

Daily

rustic bolt

But you cant even get that thing to any worksite

queen brook

Transfers are waaay more efficent than semis

Meh we have 2 cummins trucks

They both have over a millipn

Still going strong

If it was pillar they would already be a trailer for a tractor

#

Though petsonally, i still like the rolls royce better, its much more responsive than cummins

queen brook

And you also like twinsplitter more then aye

visual hawk

I only wish the put v8 diesels in American rigs

rustic bolt

Twinsplit isnt that bad

visual hawk

i mean we already push 650 from a i6 imagine a v8

queen brook

Meh RTLO beats it everday

rustic bolt
#

Either way, 13 speed rtlo or twin split, i dont care. I can drive both of them

queen brook
#

We have both 18 speed

rustic bolt
#

Just liked the rolls royce, as it responded to throttle way better than cummi s

visual hawk
#

the land rover 18 speed is confusing

queen brook
#

But i personally only split on high

#

Range

rustic bolt
#

Yup, because splitter in low range is pointless

queen brook

Ofc its usefull to split if youre leaving the pit

Even at logging

Stop cutting the corners and your vehicle industry might still br alive

13 speed is best

visual hawk

i drive a subaru

rustic bolt
#

18 is too muxh of hipster

queen brook

Powershit is the best

👌

rustic bolt

18 speed is for american engines because they lack the torque

#

13 fits for the rest

queen brook
#

Expect cummins

visual hawk
#

the truck industry i have no input nor does really anyone else cause all our trucks from the 80s are still running

rustic bolt

I didnt need the low gears after i got my hands on the cummins

Change of turbo and bigger injectors and elements did wonders to the torque figures

visual hawk
rustic bolt

No, we dont have frames made out of mcdonalds fries

atleast we dont rollover as easy

rustic bolt

No but that body roll is not good either

queen brook

Now thats a lot of damage

thats what happens when you over torque engines

trust me i dont like it either

No, thats wjat happens when your chassis is too soft
