You can get permits for bigger trailers but Utah won't allow us to run 57ft trailers with the full 72inch sleeper. So we have coffin sleepers.
52inch
Our Costco doubles are also a combination of a 48ft trailer and a 42ft pup.

Its just like every other scania
Expect its just a smaller cab
Nothing special really
Usually a daycab, but can have a bed in it too
And for all the kids, no you can't have V8 in it
queen brook
Not really
Its just a day cab simply said
Still a 5 or 6 series
Or 4
But ofcourse you can get them as next gens too
rustic bolt
Scania G series sits just closer to ground, it has 1 step less than in R
Cab sizes are same as in R,
The cab judy physically is mounted lower, you lose V8 options with it though
small swan
But according to my step dad, his G380 pulls better than a DAF XF 106.410
brisk oar
The Scania’s are far better with the torque to horsepower than any of the other brands
thick cedar
^ even volvo?
rustic bolt
Scania used to build fast power engines, now they build torque engines because thats what matters in normal driving conditions
rustic bolt
The paper specsheet is useless
No truck is built the same in terms of scania amd volvo
small swan
I'm pretty sure the R730 will beat an FH16 750
small swan
If they're fully loaded, I think the Scania will pull it better.
rustic bolt
Ishift isnt that much faster than opticruise
Mind you the dual clutch ishift is only for 500hp model
Or 560 whatever
small swan
You don't really need 8x4 if you're not hauling heavy stuff.
queen brook
Sisu has even more torque ;)
brisk oar
@thick cedar just because the Volvo has 20 hp more it has a few hundred less torque so therefor the scania has a much better pull away force
thick cedar
i just said it randomly
gentle hollow
So, what is the Peak Torque of the Scania 730 vs the Volvo 750 at peak torque? and I mean the ETS2 Game ratings, not RL
I am at work so can not look
NVM, found the answer Scania "DC16 21 730 Euro 5 EEV V8" = 3500Nm torque.
Volvo "D16G750 Euro 5 / EEV" - 3550Nm torque.
rustic bolt
Meaningless numbers
gentle hollow
it answers my question, therefor not meanilngless
rustic bolt
Those are engine numbers, you forgot the rear diff, gearbox, hub reductions..

Why do you need a damn 2 meter fuller stick

No problem

So, a person comes in here and makes a statement of preference, and you people all act like rabid dogs and try to rip them apart? shame shame, sorry I am not that way

Well Scanias are perky when pulling empty.
Coming out of Manchester film studios, and heading for motorway. Scania 2012 shape pulling an empty tanker. Was silly accelerating, with no leaning.
rustic bolt
Why would it lean
marble lark
shell blade
take a corner at speed with a load, it'll lean 😉
alot of power for an empty trailer.
rustic bolt
Doesnt leafn that much, only when you feel it torque is on heavy pulls
verbal cape
I guess new trucks also adjust their fuel injection according to the load
For example there is no 600hp needed for an empty trucj/trailer
serene mason
Yup it’s always changing on the fly for fuel consumption
Good luck getting traction with a high powered truck, even my dads spins the wheels when it’s fully laden if it’s greasy
Mine does aswell, you have to pedal it like it’s a drag car 😂
rustic bolt
All trucks since first electronic throttle pedals have limit on throttle to not let it burn excess fuel
If it cant burn it all cleanly, it wont inject excess
And load based fueling has been around since forever, Sisu done it from like S series atleast on cummins engines
verbal cape
I have 410hp i weigh 21t empty
4axles on the ground and i also spin sometimes when making a turn if the road is a little bit wet

same as if you put all the weight in the back of the car, lightens the front, and you get less traction.
so easier to understeer.
rustic bolt
More
Consider tgat the normal TAV pins are rated for like 50t
So even half of that, which is basically semi trailer, it should still be good 25t
Also 5th wheel placement matters on understeering
The more away its from driveaxle, the worse it becomes to drive
shell blade
not worried about the pin, just the load distribution.
looks front heavy, lifting the steering wheels, risking understeer.

unless you intend on driving like a twat, understeer should never be a problem.

Keep it civil please, seeing a lot of "bashful" comments, as DrDog said, this isn't the place to make sarcastic jokes. Use #general and keep this on the topic of real life trucking. Thank you

Haha in your dreams.

Why can't we make sarcastic jokes about real life trucking in #irl-trucking?

57ft trailers do exist. But that doesn't look like one, the axles are set too far back
swift karma
@crimson turtle You can slide the axles...
So
And I’m pretty sure Navajo trailers have 3 trailer axles. Looked up “57’ reefer trailer” and it popped up and had three axles on trailer
Welp
I stand incorrect
They do run a large fleet of 57’ to reduce load runs
crimson turtle
ah yes, I forgot you yanks need sliding axles

The Costco and Sprouts fleets run 57ft trailers, mainly. Unless you're running super doubles for Costco. Then you have a 48ft lead and a 42ft pup.
We are pulling a 53ft today for Dawn Foods in Denver heading to Phoenix.
And yes, tandems on 57ft trailers do slide. Instead of a 13ft overhang you get a 17ft overhang at the back if you move them all the way up.
I also haven't seen any 57's at Navajo with three axles.
Most of their equipment is new now. Costco trucks and 57ft trailers run super singles unfortunately.

You Americans don’t run heavy enough to run twin tyres 😉
thick cedar
We do.
People are just idiots and try to cut costs.
80,000lbs is the maximum without a third axle or special permits.
50 different states, 50 different laws.

America requires a permit to go over 36ton... They do bulk more than heavy
