There is actually no european union symbol on the license plate
And if you look closely in the first picture, there is a tuk tuk to the left. There are barely any tuk tuks in the UK
And boom peek is a sri lankan website
Therefore, that is not the UK
and there is no place in the UK that looks like that

quickly did a search, that states in holland they arer not allowed to be longer than 18.75m
alright, didn't read anything about a special license. thanks for letting me know. since this is what i found https://gyazo.com/bfd7c29efdd3a2e89148c19a13c9a3d9
storm tangle
18.75 for this
16.50 for trailer
25.25 for a long one

Also no grip issues like the semi trucl has

Too much power

Also no need to use the steering axle when you just lift it up

I got stopped in one of our hiab trucks that’s on a disc and I just said I haven’t driven it in months

paper bear
@queen brook any truck can lift axles with weight on them
All you have to do is tweak with the wiring.
rustic bolt
Theres a difference, will it lift, or will the airbag blow up
Or will the chassis bend
paper bear
airbag blow up is more the case
just saw this video
my god, what have we become.
when you need to make a machine to move small trees so you dont have to carry them up some stairs....
pathetic...
serene mason
On the scania you can sometimes get away with the weight transfer switch
rustic bolt
Yup
serene mason
sometimes
rustic bolt
You can lift it in air that way
But definitely not healthy for the lifter
Because its just airbags
serene mason
Airbags aren’t nice when they let go either
paper bear
on the dafs if you arent too heavy then it will lift too
otherwise it just transfers a bit more weight
doesnt lift
serene mason
Do they go down on their own? The only dafs I’ve dealt with were 6x4
paper bear
still enough to get the tag sliding, or give you traction to get out of something not too serious
yeah, they go down after 20mph
on weight transfer
serene mason
Ah
paper bear
or a few minutes
serene mason
Have you ever seen someone put the axle down going up the road?
Boy it’s messy
I don’t think the tyres have just a flat spot anymore when that happens
rustic bolt
Its lots off squealing and tyre markd
paper bear
yeah, happened a few times with my old daf
but it was only at like 25mph
so nothing crazy
you couldnt tell honestly

If a driver sees a animal run into the road do you try and stop/ miss it or dont do anything and plow though ir

for example small deer
or large dog
another question would running flatbed be anygood or should i do another division
only asking bc im thinking about getting my cld in the next 2 years
i was thinking about going with prime to do the training then after that doing the 1 year min with them
only reason i would go with this is they dont charge you a lot for the training
but the bad side is that i heard there going to all auto trucks and i dont want any restritions on my cld when i get it.
thast what i want to do so i dont have to warry about it
so if i get it with a manual i could do both if i need
people are saying prime is cycling to all autos
they have a training department and you get tested and tought with what your trainer drives
well when i get all my shit together ill just have to call them and talk to someone

And it worked but its caught up on me now.

Then at the weekend I sleep like a champion
serene mason
Well if you take a 9, by the time you eat and have a shower it’s been an hour maybe an hour and a half, then maybe chill out for another hour, you always wake up an hour-ish before you start so you’re always gonna be looking at 6 hours sleep max

Heard there was a minibus crash up near Aberdeen. Did it affect you at all?
serene mason
Nah I was on the a956 then straight down the a90, didn’t bother me at all. Heard later today that there were quite a high number of fatalities, 3 people in the 4x4 and I think a few in the minibus also
But the driver that ploughed into that bridge on the m6 near Lancaster doesn’t have any major injuries
One of M.J Griffiths
I’m guessing he fell asleep
And I’m surprised I didn’t clip a bridge today
16 ft 4 after bashing the hoppers down on a pair of compactors like the ones I took up
I was seriously shitting myself coming under the motorway matrix’s on the m73 though
paper bear
yeah, the a9 is 16 8 i think
i remember that because i was 16 4 with some log cabbin on before
and 11ft wide
but nah, that accident was tragic
and is it just me or does it always seem to be the minibuses?

I used to do some fridge work on my days off for one of my dads mates and that’s how I got my experience on the road
Before that it was “road tests” on stuff id been working on and that was just mindless driving in a circle
I got lucky with that and got a 6 series 580 with a stick to use
The guy said to me “this’ll sort you out kid”
Was just a run down to either Birmingham, Coventry or the odd run up the other way to Glasgow

Hi guys sorry interrupt your conversation but I was wondering if any you would know the problem I'm having with my truck right now
Yes
Haha alright man thanks mind if I drop the problem and see if anyone can recognize it ?
frail tartan
for sure
river relic
Well I was making my rounds and for a while trick was running fine then I was getting back on the interstate and as soon as I flipped it up to high range and about second gear the transmission starts knocking like crazy making a very grindy gravely nice and I'm taking it in to get looked at now but I've never had the problem before
No idea yet but you'd think every gear would knock if the transmission it self was broken
Well the truck I'm driving is an 1992 peter built 😂😂
Geez 😂
They don't make them like the used to
I'm still very new driver and I know that 😂
Yep man tell me about it 😂
Where ya from pat ?
Cool cool haha
I dropped it off at the shop I'm just a farm truck driver I'm only 17 so I can't drive commercial trucks only farm trucks and I'm from Nebraska btw haha
During the winter yes gets about -20 degrees F and the summer about 110 degrees F

You had probably range box's syncros grind, or the gear itself
queen brook
Wait so, you tried to drop it from high to 2nd gear?
high range or split
Because eaton's dont work like hat

@queen brook in Poland i seen a new volvo fh 750hp with a cooler trailer
river relic
I was saying the second gear, in high range so in an 18 speed it started at 7th gear
high and low
river relic
It runs fine in low only the higher gears in high range does it grind
queen brook
Then your not doing playing right with engine rpms
river relic
lol I said I'm new but not that new 😂😂 I can drive a truck legally now but that doesn't mean I haven't been driving for years 😂
queen brook
Eh, i never wanna be teaching anyone about eaton
Last time i tried with my friend
It ended up in a headache
But try to play with the rpms
1000-1200 is a good range to start, when you upshift or split keep the rpms balanced
Dont let it go or you probably have to figure out what gear suits the speed/rpms youre doing
Its not that hard when you get the hang of it
I dont use clutch myself
But yes, if youre new even then
Just forget about the clutch
Its no use
But if you want to clutch to neutral gas for about ~400 rpm
Then clutch to gear
But meh i just take it out of gear and when i start to push the gear in, i touch the loud pedal then
Not before shifting, at the same time
Sounds complicated but really isnt
serene mason
its a very weird thing to descirbe
queen brook
Its like describin sex to little kids
river relic
Lol if it makes you feel better both my bosses drove it after me and it did the same thing 😂
river relic
😂 then forget I said anything 😂
serene mason
If it was a gear issue it would do the same in low box
And if it was a range issue then it would grind like ffff when changing box
remote iron
Ooooh

look at that beautiful thing on the left

The Volvo? 🤔
rustic bolt
forget the volvo
the trailer is right, the axles are right, the combination is right
patent bolt
Ah yeah that’s true, this is my fav combo to drive as I find them the easiest to reverse and they take corners amazingly etc unlike that combo we have in ETS
But have you seen that they’re actually adding Link combos now? That looks really good 😎
rustic bolt
yup
patent bolt
Gonna be really sweet to finally be able to personalise trailers too
rustic bolt
and hopefully slap the entire sides of the trailers full of doubleburners
patent bolt
Haha I doubt that I think at most there will be like a 1m spacing between them etc
Would be nice to be able to customise the rear of the trailers too tho with different lights etc

again, what does this have to do with trucking?
don't mean to be facetious
but it's not relevant at all

But if you look from the other side VW owns MAN and Man is a truck

It's just ironic to the conversation... I'm getting tired with all these strict rules about everything is supposed to be about in the channel

then what's the point of having channels if people aren't gonna stick to the topics relative to the channel name?

@paper bear that plus the hay. Basically uncleanable at this point

I’d rather people ask us stuff over seeing them try to act cool by posting something to try to impress the drivers
But not Flynn level s***

I drove a 7.5 tonne tipper once. I'm basically a truck driver.

Volkswagens are better than both. Just accept the truth.
