Tell that to the boys in the Outback that use them
I don't see them hauling around in cabover Volvos
EU trucks would fall to bits ;P

You found one, good work lol
All I see is asphalt driving there 😉
That's more like it
paper bear
american trucks are out of date pieces of history, inefficient and uncomfy

plus, you say "come to the states" then immidietely jump to the outback?

What does your truck have? 385?
paper bear
theres a reason theres hundreds of scania v8 compilations on youtube, and not sisu diesel combinations 😄
zenith bough
Yeah the 385 cummins
zenith bough
Oh hell yeah
paper bear
560?!?
zenith bough
That's mean
zenith bough

queen brook
Yes? Because it can take it even with standard transmission, scania tuned would break everything in it
zenith bough
You're driving a dump right now right?
queen brook
Nah
paper bear
😄 oh jolli, much to learn 😉
zenith bough
Ouch
queen brook
Hell they are built weak
paper bear
mustve been something else messed up with it, my mate has a 450 tuned to 520, thats 70hp difference in a 450 stock, and its running fine. so adding 80 to a 620
something else must have happened
"they are built weak" they are the best truck for holding their value, built better than most other things on the roads
paper bear
they arent, why do you think timber companies always use them?
queen brook
Yeah, come to finland and you wont see too mant scanias off the asphalt roads
paper bear
must be a bunch of pussies up there, afraid to take pretty scanias off road, come here and youll see them going up forestry tracks here there and everywhere
zenith bough
People are just less afraid to take a cheaper truck off road 
queen brook
Sisu, Volvo, Merc are the most common wood trucks here
queen brook
Sisu mostly because lifting axles and the amount of abuse the chassis can take
paper bear
lifting axles isnt anything special now jolli, youll find most timber trucks have doctored axles
queen brook

Such a terrible thing to do to someone
pure wigeon
yeah it's true it's terrible to pull the pin locker like that but it's worse to lie about another trucker to DOT.
paper bear
nah pulling the pin is worse
pure wigeon
not if it almost puts the trucker in jail and he almost lost his job over it.
paper bear
you cant be proven guilty by someone just saying something
they need evidence
so a simple "he done this, he done that" doesnt mean squat
pure wigeon
depends on who you talk to. some that all it takes.
patent bolt
Pulling the pin is like something you just don't do, it's irresponsible and dangerous.
pure wigeon
messing with someones livelyhood is also dangerous.
candid solstice
pulling a pin is much more dangerous than a lie
you're endangering the lives of others, what if that trailer had chemicals in it and the trailer exploded because someone pulled the pin out?
paper bear
or if it didnt slip out till he got some speed up
thats 30ton flying down the road
36 in the uk
ish
patent bolt
40 tons ish here so yeah if he gets up some speed before it goes off it can most certainly cost lives so no it's never okey to mess with trailers at all.
zenith bough
Yeah, a job is definitely not equal to one or more lives being lost

paper bear
How 2 rip legs off trailer more like.
thick cedar
:+1:
The snow pack allowed it to slide forward instead of keeping it still. Mega oof
Brakes were locked on as well
paper bear
That's why you lift it up before tugging. So you don't damage the legs ya spac
thick cedar
Yeah and if it falls off I gotta jack up a loaded trailer, no thanks
Plus it falling onto the legs can do more damage than tugging at them iirc
paper bear
Ahh this how's the level of knowledge you've got here. Lifting the trailer up is completely different to lifting the legs up
And yeah right. Dragging a trailer with weight over the legs is a recipe for disaster. That's guaranteed damage.
The possibility of it dropping is less likely. Plus you can slam the brakes on before it does drop.
And there's skids behind your fifth wheel for a gradual drop. Not immediate
thick cedar
Well, that's how it's done here. And I have yet to see someone damage the legs by doing it, because if the trailer has been hooked up properly there's about half an inch between the legs and the ground after it's been lifted onto the fifth wheel.
paper bear
Oh yeah, you lot like to drag your fifth wheel right down the underbelly of the trailers...
thick cedar
Yeah. Prevents a high-hook.
paper bear
Yeah, makes a mess for those who don't can't judge distance.
thick cedar
I pity the fool
paper bear
You all do it.
That was my point.
Cos who needs grease
You'll soon learn that legs aren't too strong if you drag a trailer with 60,000lbs on it.
thick cedar
You're talking like the parking brake isn't set on the tires
paper bear
You're talking like your units are weak af
thick cedar
What now?
paper bear
You can drag trailers even with the brakes on.
thick cedar
Yeah, you can, but you don't want to drag the trailer. You want to gently tug against the kingpin.
paper bear
Yep, but the trailer will still move a bit.
And if a trailers gear gets put under stress every day of the year then it's gonna get damaged
Which is why it's good practice to lift it up
The trailer
thick cedar
I still haven't seen any destroyed landing gear in the yards
paper bear
For the sake of 2 seconds
Maybe you lot just transport toilet roll everywhere.
4t max
thick cedar
I mean. I'm sitting at 44,530lbs cargo weight today
paper bear
Well it's happened in our company before
thick cedar
I'd imagine Euro spec equipment is built differently
Remember we've been doing it this way here forever so they've been built to withstand that abuse
paper bear
But we're talking a bit heavier than that.
thick cedar
I'd hope at least
Most I'm allowed to weigh is 88,900lbs in total
That extra 8,900lbs is tacked on since I have a permit for it
paper bear
It had like 60,000 on it. I think that's right. And some of our units are allowed 330,000 lbs
Gross
thick cedar
Jesus
thick cedar
Well yeah
paper bear
And hydraulic landing gear is expensive.
thick cedar
I'd assumed it was flatbed when you threw that number out
paper bear
Low loader
thick cedar
Ours are hand cranks
paper bear
All ours are hand apart from our heavy low loaders.
But that trailer could go sideways if you wanted it too. Crab steer and all
thick cedar
I wish we had hydraulic ones... My lower back is already destroying itself
paper bear
Adds a lot to weight
paper bear
And price. It's only really for heavy trailers. I mean the trailer weighs 45000 alone
thick cedar
Good lord
paper bear
Plus 26000 in the unit.
thick cedar
I'm honestly thinking of going to Melton for flatbed work
paper bear
Why's that?
thick cedar
Would be more interesting than driving around with a box all the time. Could go OTR, see my girl in Cali and my family in Louisiana.
Could go OTR with Navajo, too... But eh. I'd want a Cascadia for the room
paper bear
If I were in the us, I don't even know what I would do. Maybe get into the recovery side. Don't think I would like to drive truck over there
Be on a recker, aim for a rotator
thick cedar
Box guys like me are basically the retail workers of the trucking industry and get treated as such by everyone else
Especially our customers
thick cedar
I'd love to go into heavy hauling. But here you need years of Flatbed experience before anyone will even look at you
paper bear
Ahh, then I would be getting in flatbeds as soon as
thick cedar
Yeah. Figured Navajo would be a good way to get a quick start in the industry. Then head over to a flatbed company and sit there for a while.
thick cedar
I think it's a good idea to try and haul a little bit of everything at least once. Would love to do tankers, too.
Fuel tankers... Serious cash in that
paper bear
I mean, I've used a curtain sider twice. Not keen. No Interest at all
thick cedar
You can sometimes put certain flatbed loads into curtain siders, eh?
uncut bronze
Curtain's no fun
paper bear
Yeah you can. But we only do it for small stuff that needs to be kept dry
paper bear
And car transports is where the money's at
uncut bronze
Sounds like a hassle to move everytime tbf
thick cedar
Car transportation is a great business here as well
paper bear
The no damage bonus is where they rake it in
paper bear
Yeah, if you don't scratch a vehicle when loading and unloading you get a bonus
thick cedar
It's hilarious because it's apparently enough of an issue that they have to incentivise people with bonuses to be more careful
paper bear
Yeah, it's difficult apparently
thick cedar
I thought about getting a RAM 3500 and a 40ft car hauling gooseneck trailer and just running like that. A small setup to get started
paper bear
Good luck getting customers
thick cedar
It's actually pretty decent if you go through a Landstar load board or some other company like that. You basically get an ATS/ETS2 sort of dashboard to pick a load from

thats a horrible rule, "dont argue with staff"
so just because a moderator deems a discussion to be slightly dramatic, they can kick you?
in other words, if a moderator thinks hes losing an argument, he can just kick you. even if youre making a valid point

you can get jeans which are softer, but I agree with the last 2 points

also jeans suck if you have to wear coveralls over them
but that's more due to the hygiene standards for the meat industry
patent bolt
Yeah to be fair I understand the point there, if I would have been driving around with like several stops delivering cargo all arond the city I would probably wear something different, but since I basically only have 1 pickup point then drive for a couple of hours and then unload in another city I tend to wear whatever I feel like and I feel comfortable in 😝

yeah true, i had to get out of the truck a fair bit
didn't have drives longer than an hour or so

It seems tight, r u sure it's great when your wear that jeans ?
thick cedar
These aren't that tight actually. I've got actual skinny jeans
I do not wear those for work
My thunder thighs don't help lmao

i wear jeans at work, and im in and out of the truck all the time
aslong as they arent skin tight then im fine with them
and wearing overalls ontop of jeans isnt all that bad

Essentially just vanity

ask for the information who was driving that car
they have to keep record usually untill it is expired
incase someone does hit and run
for the cops to track them

Oooh
That's a swell idea

Basically European HAZMAT.
Dynamite, Cyanide, Fuel, etc.
formal minnow
Ah
formal minnow
Id rather not drive dangerous goods
thick cedar
HAZMAT is a serious pay increase. Same with tankers.
If you can get yourself hauling fuel in the States for the oil fields, you've basically made it.

But there's the dragging mark on the ground so could be a loose 5th wheel or something.
thick cedar
@dark cobalt, I actually texted my friend who works with me a picture of it. I get "That was me." In response. His fifth wheel locking jaw didn't clamp around the kingpin properly. It passed his tug test, and then fell off after he drove a ways.
round panther
oof
that's the one thing that I would be concerned about with a sliding fifth wheel
thick cedar
Our fifth wheels on the Costco account don't slide. The locking jaw is the mechanism that clamps around the kingpin to hold it on.

oh

Yeee.
Best part? They gave him another load and he hooked to it and took off. 😂

Wagon and drag
That's right, I actually have a trailer.
Unlike someone....

The other day I saw a full-size KW T-680 pulling a 20ft pup along I-80.
Just remember, it could always be worse. 😂

Mate I'm longer than a semi. Shut your mouth
Longer than a semi and more maneuver able in some aspects. Less in others.
A lot of semi drivers are afraid of wagon and drags. Just don't like the combo. I get asked a lot how I find the trailer. Personally I prefer it
Thing follows you well, yes you need twice the room to do a u turn but corners are fine.
