Dont pull the bed, drive under it instead, so it doesnt slide all over the place
queen brook
Also, thats normal, dunno why some people get scared if that happens
Easy to corrext
rustic bolt
With hooklift you dont, as long as it hits the rollers in some way, it'll fall in place once you pull it enough
Cables is a different thing, cant do as bold moves, but you can instead just lift it barely off the ground and then fiddle the truck in place

You’ve got the wheel at the wrong side mate

I drive left in the netherlands too but there are thousands of ghost rijders here
paper bear
Right is superior
paper bear
nope, right is best. easy access to the fifth wheel as its also on the right hand side
rustic bolt
5th wheel handle is on the right. always
Problem is solved by not driving anything with a 5th wheel
rustic bolt
Isnt it usually on the left
Thats where batteries are usually, and on the right is catalysator
paper bear
what? stairs?
paper bear
who uses stairs?
rustic bolt
¯_(ツ)_/¯
rustic bolt
usually the battery case has a step so you dont need to jump so damn high
paper bear
nah, stairs are on the right for us too
and on one of our units theres a cut out in the fuel tank for a step on the left side
so either side really, except when youve got side skirts it changes it up a bit
i usually just jump on the low loader, walk up the neck and onto the back of the lorry
rustic bolt
i dont know ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I dont drive semi trucks
its been like 10 years since i hooked a trailer

The 6 light beams on the roof are overkill tho

I'd have 6 on the roof too if i could here though.. its dark as in groke's ass for 10 months a year,
verbal cape
I have 4 smaller ones
rustic bolt
But i'm fine with 2 Lazers too

Which i frequently use if no one around
rustic bolt
the 2 lazers and the LED spots on the visor are good enough
rustic bolt
amber is good, white is bad

Even the beams i have aren’t
rustic bolt
wtf?
rustic bolt
logic 🤜 👌
verbal cape
Although like every truck has it
rustic bolt
Because working in the darkness is so much safer
verbal cape
Only the driving christmas trees get fined sometimes
I have like 10 work beams around my truck and on the hiab
And it’s still not enough lol
On my new truck i’ll let them make those led bars
Way more capacity
rustic bolt
never can have enough worklights
I think i got like 8 per side, + 2 back of the truck and 2 more on back of the trailer
verbal cape
Ye for trailers it’s even harder to see in the dark
rustic bolt
Yup, 8 per side.. 1 in the front of the truck near steps, 2nd one halfway backwards, around the driveaxle part, then 2 spots crossed in the back under the lift, then at the dolly 1 spot, and 2nd one again at the rear axles.. and 2 lights crossed in the rear of the trailer's framerails
thats about right
thats bare minimum you need really
If i didnt have boxes, and a freightbed instead.. i'd probably have atleast 4 or 6 spots on the back of the cab evenly spreading 180 degrees to back
verbal cape
I got lights on all outriggers 4x, 2 on top of the cab, 2 on the back and 2 behind the cab at bed height pointing backwards
And 1 on the hiab

and he said "Logging is a dream o me because when I was a hazmat or curtain siders I got a call from my boss every 30 min saying go here go there but now as a logger I go where I know I have to go without my boss calling me" So that's why i chose to become a logger like him
and it's a dream a huge dream

Because you're on a set route for a long period of time. Instead of multidrops.

pretty much yes
pick up my logs drop them off at the port

The problem o have is I would satart getting bored about a month in. Doing the same route everyday (especially if it's short) just gets boring for me.
O had that with tippers.
Never again...
thick cedar
yes at times it can be correct but I'm going places I've never been
my dad has been Trucking for 28 years and when he was a curtain sider and that he got to travel the whole country
I'm only beginning and in the future I could do the same
paper bear
And curtain siders give me no interest. Bit boring loads....

it is yeah but that's not the only thing
remember with curtain siders your putting this on the shelf so you can give to the community and help them

Feels pretty good so far. Almost feels like a little child on christmas when I got the letter from school.
Now I'm working in a factory that makes wooden floor (parquet floor) and its soo boring. So I will probably say yes to whatever truck job offer I get. Just to get a way from the factory.

man I'm really starting to think of a change in careers, although I'm almost 40 I really am interested in starting out trucking
the games have bled into real life, I've been drooling over trucks I'd normally pay no mind to. Quizzing myself on their trailer configurations and stuff
I love driving and hate my wife, it's a match made in heaven!

@snow yarrow even if you are almost 40, it's fine to still join. The best truckers are mostly old.

Yeeeah right.

Age has nothing to do with it. I've seen people with yeeears of experience struggle with yards that are piss easy. It's all about what kinda trucking you learnt with. Even then some people just get it more than others.
But starting at 40 is absolutely fine. I've seen people start older.
And they got to it alright.

If you're a truck photographer, your photos would be better suited in the #photos channel, as this channel is generally used by real truck drivers who post images of their own wagon or whatever it is they're working with.
This information is also available in the channel topic, located at the top of the screen (on desktop anyway), there's also a pinned message explaining this.

i see that all trucks on ATS have a speed limiter that goes to 65 mph
all modern trucks in America have this speed limiter ?
thick cedar
Most megafleets limit their trucks to 65. Owner operators don't usually have limiters or they're set at 90.
willow minnow
then why the trucks in ATS are limited to 65mph when we are owned operators in ATS ?
thick cedar
It's the world of trucks contract system.
It's for fairness purposes I think.
You can turn off the limiter when you're bobtail, using your own trailer to haul cargo, or pulling from the freight market.

Smoother ride and supposedly better fuel economy
But blow one out on the front drive axle? You risk taking the second axle's tire off, then the trailer tires on that side, plus you bend one or more rims beyond repair

I'll try to film the drive once I'm almost there. I know of a spot I can pull off and start recording at
It's so freaking tight because of construction
Not to mention the construction takes up both entrances to the freeway so after you take the exit ramp you have to find an alternate route (Through streets not made for trucks) in order to get out
I'm also going to be doing it in thick fog with the possibility of snow.
I also just kinda hate Nestle 
Oh. The area is also filled with one-way streets because for some reason some idiot thought those should be a thing.

lets show your real MAN TGX E6 trucks 😃
anyone having a performance lion with 640ps here? 😉
verbal cape
@paper bear new one is either a palfinger pk 135 or 165
It’ll be there next year
It’s 12 years now
verbal cape
My current one?
paper bear
pk 135
verbal cape
Yea pk 135 is a 135 ton metre
paper bear
what do you plan on lifting with that beast?
verbal cape
It’s the distance and height mostly
This one can reach 16 metres with 2000kg
A 135 can do 33metres with 1000kg or so
And of course you can do heavy machinery inside factories
12 years ago this 47ton hiab was a “heavy duty” crane
paper bear
like jesus, we have mobile cranes for anything larger than our 2 hiabs. we have 53ton
palfingers
verbal cape
Palfinger is my first choice tho
paper bear
whats on yours the now?
paper bear
yeah, i had a hiab before. palfingers are definately nicer
verbal cape
Thats our 105 ton hiab and my 47t
Hiab operates very accurate but they have no bigger cranes than 105
paper bear
nah, i felt like the palfinger is waaaay smoother
verbal cape
And they kinda messed up with our 105
paper bear
although the palfinger ive got now is waaay more modern, 9 years younger
si maybe thats why
but hiab aint got nothing on palfinger imo
paper bear

willow minnow
he played too much on C-D Road
paper bear
no, he just wasnt used to driving off road
verbal cape
Unfortunately now he is
paper bear
no, he probably still isnt. takes a long time to learn what different surfaces can and cant hold. and you only learn it by driving on all of them
just because youve been stuck doesnt mean you now know what youre doing, it just shows you dont
upper bolt
Yup, sometime when you first step gonna be fine. Nothing worry you can drive it, and think it can hold but you know no longer. But sometime or any minute the situation gonna change unexpectedly.
paper bear
water, if theres a lot of water then its a sign its soft
if its been dry then it most likely can hold a bit of weight, but wet ground is risky
as you can see in the pic
upper bolt
But sometime we didn't see the water comes out even already in the middle of trailer
paper bear
he went into wet ground and it just sank
upper bolt
Yeah, I though he's already know it. But don't know how longer can hold. And I thoughts he don't wanna park or unload in there
paper bear
what?
upper bolt
But unexpectedly just hold a few minutes
paper bear
what? if its gonna sink, its gonna sink quick
its not like, oh if i sit there for 5 mins itll slowly sink. no, once it start to sink thats it
verbal cape
Before you notice it you’re stuck lol
It’s not that you have time to put it in reverse..
