๐Ÿคข

rustic bolt

queen brook
#

Huhtala is such a table turner lol

rustic bolt

queen brook
#

They were like "We'd rather take Volvo's"

#

and boom

#

๐Ÿค”

patent bolt
#

How long does those trailers make the combos?

queen brook
#

rustic bolt
#

34m is the orange bastard

patent bolt
#

Ah, not bad

queen brook
#

36 is HCT

#

usually

#

atleast the thing what moves in lapland is

#

rustic bolt
#

the meat train is 34m aswell

#

anything over 25m

#

basically

queen brook
#

oh tf

#

I have a possible low loader job for tomorrow

#

but it's saturday

#

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

Atria

#

thats enough info

#

yah

#

i see them daily

#

and also sometimes the "Life"

#

or whatever it is called

rustic bolt
#

you'll spot ours easily, its the not-volvo one

queen brook
#

๐Ÿคข

rustic bolt
#

the volvo was thrown away in place for a R520

queen brook
#

should have gotten a polar

#

instead of the merc

rustic bolt
#

yeah its bit long

#

still easily doable to reverse in single pipe to the dock

queen brook
#

I remember seeing one of these dudes last winter

#

at Keslog

#

trying to reverse

#

the whole thing

#

into the terminal

#

i kinda laughed for a bit, but then i realized i drive a casette

rustic bolt
#

first trip i did detach them and one by one reverse them to the docks, then i got lazy and started to just reverse it as whole, then cut it

queen brook
#

I rember one friday a while back

#

it was the last delivery of the day

rustic bolt
#

it takes crapload of space, but its not that bad

queen brook
#

i just took the box ontop and drove 4km in a forest road

#

I was too lazy to start turning it in there

#

and i haven't regretted it ๐Ÿ‘

rustic bolt
#

If i recall right, this one will be pulling the similar long trailer to the pommac

#

yup

queen brook
#

We used to have Oulun Mies Voimistelijat in our trucks

#

but then we merged into another company

rustic bolt
#

jรถlli is eating so much sausage that 2 trucks and the meat train is not enough

queen brook
#

Wilhelm ๐Ÿ‘

rustic bolt
#

so now theres yet another long trailer

queen brook
#

you need to start driving into Oulu

rustic bolt
#

hell no

queen brook
#

and maybe coffee at Tupos one day

#

๐Ÿ˜‰

rustic bolt
#

that road sucks

#

food

queen brook
#

I usually bring a Ceasar salad with me

#

#Fitness

rustic bolt
#

either something i made up before work or just some ready stuff

#

and just microwave it

queen brook
#

and when i'm not bothered then i just go to the nearest mcdonalds

#

or hesburger

#

or anything there is near

rustic bolt
#

alternatively the disgusting Fresh salad boxes

#

usually the ones that are "broken" or something else

#

once we had a meatbox of those salad boxes for us... we ate those for like weeks because nobody could eat them more than few

queen brook
#

What i do requires a lot of physical fitness

#

So i must eat properly

#

My job is so damn rough

rustic bolt
#

yeah yeah

queen brook
#

i need to walk a few steps to disconnect the hoses

#

and then to reconnect them

#

and obv to open the servo

rustic bolt
#

my crap doesnt unload itself

#

nor does the box have a tipper

queen brook
#

hey i need to reverse more straight than you never have to

#

so i don't break the "kasettimiehen vala"

rustic bolt
#

true, every time i reverse, i usually go somewhere behind a corner or something

#

because theres no space to reverse straight

#

i'll have to bring this issue up in next meeting for truck purchases.. we'll have walking floor boxes

#

so loading and unloading is easier

queen brook
#

Hakehomo

#

You don't drop the box

#

if you do

#

then you will be a peasant

rustic bolt
#

walking floor for loading stuff would be good

queen brook
#

I haven't broken it

rustic bolt
#

just bring the crap at the doors, and slowly the junk will move to the frontwall

queen brook
#

but i know people who have

#

and it locks automatically

#

so no need to fuck around with it

#

But i have almost dropped it but saved it with my insane reflexes ๐Ÿ˜Ž

#

I started going forward and felt the front end starting to raise a bit

#

And jumped on the brake instantly

#

Almost pooped my pants

#

ngl

#

Thats why you need to check it's locked always

#

but sometimes you just forget about it

#

meh, winter season is worse

#

i sat for 22 hours last winter

#

almost straight

#

We got non stop snow

#

for 3 days straight

#

This summer was too hot

#

My Sisu doesn't have a working ac

#

The compressor is just broken

#

but haven't had time to change it

#

No, we take them to Pekant or Raskone

#

but my sisu is gonna go byebye this winter

#

i wonder what will i get next

#

i was thinking about changing to another kind of profession next

#

move on from gravel stuff

#

but i don't know

#

i would like to start driving woodchips

#

could be fun

#

or peat

#

Everything will do where you dont need to secure the load

serene mason
#

Containers @queen brook

#

4 locks and youโ€™re off

paper bear
#

i think youll find being physically active and fit will increase your life expectancy, not reduce it ๐Ÿ˜‰

serene mason
#

To an extent yes

#

But itโ€™s easy overdone

paper bear
#

naaah, bs. listen to your body and youll be right.

serene mason
#

Like all these people who are runners and all that jazz who are the healthiest you can be and they drop dead from heart problems

paper bear
#

running? fuck that. smashes your knees to pieces.
but casual excersise, enough to get a sweat on.

#

on a daily basis, thats class

serene mason
#

Like having a wank

#

That has to count right

paper bear
#

๐Ÿ˜„ suuure....

#

but like i guess it depends on what age you start doing it too. like if youve been lazy all your life and suddenyl start going for it, you might find some issues. but if your body is used to it

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

exercise i mean, not wanking

serene mason
#

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

#

My exercise is being a monkey up and down machines with chains and slings

paper bear
#

yeah, thats what i mean. occasional exercise is what our bodies are designed for.

#

like, to chase and kill shit, then eat it. and chill for a bit. then go and murder something else....

queen brook
#

Eat back all the calories you lost*

paper bear
#

but ive not done anything like that in a while. tipper work..... dont want to become a typical tipper driver....

serene mason
#

I couldnโ€™t be arsed being a tipper driver

#

Tbh Iโ€™m starting to fall out with this work now

#

Donโ€™t get me wrong I love fucking about with hiabs and forklifts but thereโ€™s never a decent job, whether Iโ€™m getting all the dregs or my boss canโ€™t seem to find decent work I donโ€™t know

#

Heโ€™s not even giving me the hours now, and I donโ€™t even know what Iโ€™ve done

paper bear
#

yeah, i know what you mean. when i used to be on the hiab i didnt get a single external hire for 6 months, they just put me on our construction work. i thought i mustve fucked up or somethings been said :D
nope, was just a quite patch

#

and a busy patch for construction

#

i guess that happens, companies go through phases

#

like right now we're getting a ton of machine removal work, a lot of abnormal loads and stuff. apparently thats what were trying to get into now

serene mason
#

Heh more competition

queen brook
#

We have Infra and Property Service

#

so basically

serene mason
#

Machine moving is still the sort of work where you can get away with setting your own rates

queen brook
#

I kinda do them both, expect i'm not a service dude

#

who does all the shit work

#

like collects the garbage from the yards

#

and checks the water meters etc

#

Because we have machinery operators as another job title

paper bear
#

haha, nah. were just doing it on the side. just a bit here and there. plus, we dont have forklifts like you, just cranes. so we move like the larger things.

and yeah, on the hires you can kinda control what times youre gonna finish and what not. not always, but sometimes

serene mason
#

Tbh you can move almost any machine with a crane if the space allows it

#

And theyโ€™re not too heavy

queen brook
#

Our excavators are 25 and 36 tonnes

#

come move them please

paper bear
#

yeah, we kind struggle with the smaller stuff really, the biigger stuff is more our cup of tea.

#

and np ๐Ÿ˜„

#

we have a 36

#

and a few 20s, 25s

queen brook
#

then our wheel loaders are 7t 7t 8t 5t 20t 12t and 12t

#

But they can be moved

#

without a low loader

#

And well, theres this opinion too

patent bolt
#

This trailer is a nightmare to reverse with

dusty flicker
#

k

#

that looks nice though

patent bolt
#

Heavy as F tho as itโ€™s loaded with beer and soda and so on

dusty flicker
#

oh boyy...tempting

dusty flicker
#

he's driving someone else's truck

queen brook
#

shes*

dusty flicker
#

really ?

#

lol

#

ok

#

Muzolf there's no need for conspiracy theory FBI ๐Ÿ˜‚

patent bolt
#

HA I would never drive that ๐Ÿ˜‚

#

That belongs to our smaller mother company down south

dusty flicker
#

Which one is yours then ๐Ÿค”

#

or you only drive for companies?

crimson turtle
#

Someone's new here.

patent bolt
#

I think thereโ€™s literally 100 pictures at least of mine in here

serene mason
#

Lmao people must love double manning with noxii

#

I bet she always gets the bottom bunk ๐Ÿ˜‚

patent bolt
#

Luckily I barely ever do that ๐Ÿ˜›

#

I kinda "refuse" to double up if it means that we both have to sleep in the same truck

azure vapor
#

@patent bolt you alive?

patent bolt
#

Almost

azure vapor
#

Hard day?

patent bolt
#

Nah just tired, work tried to call me today probably wanting me to work overtime on my week off. Didn't even answer the phone ๐Ÿ˜‚

azure vapor
#

๐Ÿ˜‚

#

what do you drive now?

patent bolt
#

Nah right now I'm at home on my week off

cobalt vigil
#

Hello

azure vapor
#

picardfacepalm Noxii what truck you on ? still on scania?

#

Hi @cobalt vigil

patent bolt
#

Ah yeah ofc a Scania

#

I still have my 2016 R580

azure vapor
#

R580 , fancy I guess

#

I always get 420 , 450

patent bolt
#

It sure is, feels like home

#

Yeah but that's understandable since there's more flat terrain down there. We cross several mountains weighing up to 50tons each day ๐Ÿ˜›

azure vapor
#

The worst feeling is when you have 420 with 35 t and a hill that is 2 km long , it barely goes over 60km/h

#

Now Im on a 460 FH

patent bolt
#

Barely over 60? are you kidding me xD

#

Our trucks fully loaded end up at 30-40 up hills

#

so don't complain ๐Ÿ˜›

azure vapor
#

I got overtook by an Iveco Stralis

#

Annoying really

queen brook
#

But you said you are going to drive a man full time

#

and now you drive a scania and a volvo

#

๐Ÿค”

#

something smells

azure vapor
#

I still did not go to BiH

#

The owner does not reply to my msgs . So ofc Im on my old job still .. When we make a deal then I will leave this job. Until then nope.

queen brook
#

So you work for a 1 specific company

azure vapor
#

Im signed with ล TW

#

Somethimes they send me to Frigo Food

#

When the guy from Bosnia replys about my conditions then I will go there . Its not easy as you think

patent bolt
#

Thatโ€™s what most of us do tho Jรถlli, signed to one company

azure vapor
#

Yeah but I do work for 2 , depends which has more jobs pending

#

They just send me a msg " Tomorrow go to Frigo Food office and give youre ID , you will have to drive 2 days for them , you will get 30% or 50% (depends on the load) extra. "

#

and somethimes they are like " You need to change your truck for a Volvo , after that run , change it for a Mp4 or Daniel's Scania S if Daniel will be off that day" .. So it all depends

queen brook
#

Noxii im aware, but i was going after something

#

but it's ok

patent bolt
#

Ah okey

azure vapor
#

Jolli what do you drive?

queen brook
#

Sisu E11 420hp

#

isx cummins

#

eaton fuller 18 spd

azure vapor
#

Whats a Sisu? What country does make this?

queen brook
#

Finland

azure vapor
#

Sisu is from Finland ?

#

Got a pic of that?

willow minnow
#

yes, Sisu is from Finland

azure vapor
#

Why does it look like Premium?

queen brook
#

Because it uses the same cabin

#

10% renault

patent bolt
#

10% Renault and 90% crap troll

azure vapor
#

Whats the price on in ? for the base 4x2 model ?

queen brook
#

says someone who drives a scania

#

which btw

#

is 99% crap

#

1 percent atleast something good, which at the end of the day

#

doesn't work

#

They don't really sell as semi

#

mostly rigids

azure vapor
#

oh, They must be expensive then I have never seen this truck here

queen brook
#

But depends on which model, Jyry, Nasu, Karhu, Kontio M, SM, SR, SL, SK, E11, E12, E14 , E18, R500 C600 Polar 1st gen or new Polar

azure vapor
#

Proper driving and working boots

๐Ÿ˜‚ even the rubber cover on the pedal wore away huh @queen brook

queen brook

i don't use the clutch so i don't really mind it being kinda slippy

#

only when stopping or starting to move

patent bolt
#

Sisu quality ๐Ÿ˜‰

queen brook
#

Certified Sisu quality

rustic bolt
#

The rubber pads are notories for slipping out from that pedal, it just slides back in, but if the rubber has cut, it slips off all the time

paper bear

There's nothing certified about sisu

Apart from being stubborn and trying to get off on 4th gear

patent bolt
#

Haha yeah Iโ€™ve driven one of those and theyโ€™re rather fun actually

#

And no offence Jรถlli but it seems that unless itโ€™s a sisu theyโ€™re all worthless according to you ๐Ÿ˜›

serene mason
#

Heโ€™s worse than Americans with chevys

queen brook
#

nah

#

I mean scanias are cool and all but, from my experience i don't like them

#

volvos is fine, atleast i've liked them so far, even tho i only have a few hunder kilometers with one

#

Atleast the one i drove left a bad taste in my mouth, but i'm not saying all of them are the same

#

Even tho it REALLY REAALLYYYYY sounds like it

serene mason
#

We can all agree that MANs are crap

queen brook
#

an Ivecos

willow minnow
#

Iveco is not crap

queen brook

rustic bolt
#

Its downright shit

patent bolt
#

The new Merc looks rather cool interior wise tho

#

BUT I'm rather skeptical regarding those mirrors and how they'll work in Scandinavian winter conditions etc

outer current
#

that Sideguard Assist think is pretty neat

candid solstice
#

O.o

#

so the new Actros doesn't have mirrors

queen brook
#

The mirrors block the view a bit

#

Not a huge fan of that

#

or the screen

candid solstice
queen brook
#

should i say

candid solstice
#

this is the launch video

#

looks odd seeing a truck without it's mirrors

paper bear
#

I'm staying well clear of mercs. From all I've heard they aren't much better than MAN.

#

daf tho... Now that's a different story.

small swan
#

Why the bloody hell would you trust a camera as a mirror

#

What if it breaks

#

What if a bit of water dries up on it and you can't see anything through it

#

What if a wire decides to not work

#

What if the screen breaks

#

What if you scratch it

serene mason
#

We donโ€™t have mirrors on our mercs

#

Weโ€™ve knocked em off troll

I mean, i have nothing against volvos and i think i like them, but the only problem is the little bugs and things in the ECU

Whats wrong with it?

junior anchor
#

He doesn't have his seat belt on

candid solstice
#

he also has his handbrake on

#

so he's clearly not moving ;p

queen brook
#

ofcourse because i pulled the casette box back into the trailer

candid solstice
#

also from the few trucking videos I've seen, a lot of drivers drive off without wearing their seat belt because it's easier to move your body when manoeuvring tight yards

azure vapor
#

Who wears a seat belt while trucking ? Alot of people dont

patent bolt
#

I met one of Jรถllis wet dreams today

candid solstice
#

you'd be given points on your license if you were caught not wearing a seat belt in the UK cro

azure vapor

We got a solution for that also Moh

queen brook
#

atleast some Norwegians are still sane ๐Ÿ˜Ž

patent bolt
#

I imagine it being rather optimal as a lumber truck actually

queen brook
#

it is, mainly built for lumber and earthmoving

rustic bolt
#

I only wear seatbelt when im driving for longer than 15 mins

#

Never in city distribution or in yard because its just in the way

rustic bolt

Oh but it is when you jump in and out of the cab and reverse oht of the window sometimes

Our yard is 1km from a police station and I never have mine on

And itโ€™s f thereโ€™s a copper on the side of the road I just wave at them and they never even notice no seatbelt

I was driving with this trailer

Yes but actual driving

Not random pictures

Also breaks the rule of picture spam anyways

paper bear

"are you a real life trucker?"

vague meadow

yes

rustic bolt

This channel is more like everyday truck talk mostly between drivers, truckshow pictures should go to pictures regardless

The early years of my Trucking career was very eventful when it came to tires

#

I swear I had a tire problem every other month..

rustic bolt
#

Did you never check the pressures in them or why did they blow up?

junior anchor
#

I noticed that I had low tire, and I was heading to a truck stop

#

So I was going to spend the night there, and have the tire fixed before heading off to bed

Luckly the Loves that I was heading to still had a few spots left

Even if you would drive a Tesla truck right now you wouldn't be a truck driver.

Yup

So every truck in the UK is really limited to 90km? Even on the motorways?

Yes

Just like on all of europe

In most of civilized world they are limited

@paper bear new one will be ordered soon itโ€™s gonna be a Volvo with a crane double the size of the hiab ๐Ÿ˜„

What ton metre?

#

@verbal cape

paper bear

looks like an 80 on that

#

atleast

#

so double.... sheesh

verbal cape

@serene mason 47 ton metre next one is going to be 105+ since we already own a 105 ton metre

serene mason
#

We have an 80 and thatโ€™s a beast so I darent imagine what youโ€™d be able to pick with a 105

queen brook
#

It's a bit beast looking ngl

#

@serene mason if 105 is a beast in your opinion, then what is this

#

a monster? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

200 ton meter

serene mason
#

Yeah but you can carry anything with that

#

Whatโ€™s the point

queen brook
#

Thats why trailers are made

#

if you meant can't

#

not can

serene mason
#

And here you would only fit a little drawbar behind

#

No point

queen brook
#

Well i mean

#

In UK probably not

#

but in funland yeah

paper bear
#

Well it's not just about how much you can carry and how much you can lift. It's manoeuvrability and practicality too

#

With a trailer on the back of that you won't be able to get around half the sites over here

queen brook
#

IT goes up to 51 meters so just leave the trailer somewhere

#

still better to maneuver than an mobile crane

paper bear
#

Yeah right, mobile cranes, atkeast our ones. Liebher have rear steer

#

Every axle can steer. Krab and everything.

#

And a mobile crane will lift more.

#

Like, a 70 ton

#

70 ton crane weighs about 35-40 ton

#

3 axle, turn better than any 3 axle truck

not intrigued bc itโ€™s an automatic gtr

azure vapor
#

Did Nissan CEO used drugs ? Cos Infiniti should be a luxurious brother of Nissan ... Not the case

vernal comet
#

it is actually, i dont consider nissan a luxury car at all bc the past few years they have made trash cans... i prefer the older models like the r32's r33's and my all time fav the r34

#

but the r35 was a mistake imo

azure vapor
#

R35 should be infiniti then but then nissan would of lost the ''performance'' tag that goes for years ...

vernal comet
#

i couldnt imagine the price tag on it if it was infiniti, but IF you didnt know infiniti and nissan are the same company xD

#

my car has the inline 6(?) engine i believe same engine they used in the r35 but way dumbed down in performance and again , a pos automatic.... i hate autos which is why im trading it this year hopefully

azure vapor
#

I was sad when they launched the r35 with auto ... Why .. Just why..

vernal comet
#

OH! better yet, let me find it. infiniti did make a 4door concept of the gtr and it actually like it. too bad its not available in the states and forreal

totally ruined the car
