Fair point
Or break it off 
because ''it can kill someone''
or a ped falls and lands with their head on it
if you fall from a high enough place onto it
idk, but our company got a 200 euro ticket for driving like that, so it's the authorities words
Pf i just rip it off when that happens. We have so many of them in the warehouse so 
Our company has more in Phoenix but they're gonna get really pissed off at me either way
xD
@thick cedar did you just say daf is bad?
When talking about comfort?
I take it you've never stepped foot inside one then
Daf make make the best cabs around
Only one upped by the new S, and not by much
I didn't say daf is bad

I was in the E5 Daf, E6 Daf
But DAF is definetly not my favorite
Don't we all have our favorites
It's always about opinions and taste even while official tests and stats can be withdrawn. But at the end yourself decide what you like or not
Atleast i get paid good and my company is very friendly. My truck is just a working machine
Freightliner is my favorite
We all do have our opinions
But when every real trucker ive spoke to say the same thing
It must mean something
I quite like the MAN's comfort
They make great cabs too. Volvo is great too. I mean we do have the comfort options so it's quite nice in both of them
The new MAN does look quite interesting, wouldn't say no to trying one of those.
Yeah. On the first sight it looked weird but we're definetly gonna test drive them and prob buy some
What scania model is this? Where you can but Super on it. or do you need scania tuning pack in ETS to put that on?
That's a New Gen Scania
You can get a mod for Ets
Not the right place to talk bout here tho
i wanted to know the model name though as i figured people in here know
It's either the Scania S or R
Okay Thanks👍
It's a R in this case
Came across this beauty 
Bought another truck for my spare time 😜
That's not a truck
@verbal cape 2020 ? thats beautifull
2018
not bad
Nice truck man. Looks good
I have no bike 
You should definitely buy one :)
Nah i'm good
I don't even need to do a bike license. I can drive a 125 bike even tho i never did a bike license

Well ok. I did i think 5 hours of practice
Y'aal think this will pass TUV?
Looks fine

that some art piece probs?
cuz it basicly is showing no rear damage
and theres no rust near the "splits"
I have no clue
with those hoses hanging off and small pieces laying around i dont think its art
If it would be crashed
At the places the frame is split/bend ud have obvious rust
The fact the rear has no damage and from what we can see the cab is intact
- theres no rear bumper either
My last unit getting a nice bath in Mira Loma, CA
I should get the pictures off my camera from some of my various loads into the US. I traveled through the Sweet Grass, Montana crossing and usually hiked the entire I-15 into California. Took some pictures I found interesting.
Is it yours?
Half mine half of my friends truck

Thats a good looking truck 
Its called sharing 
You do days, he does nights?
Eh not really. He has the company, and i drive when i'm on my free-time. I pay for the parts too.
It's fun cuz he drives much moving floor and i like these kind of trailers
And i can drive a modified truck without getting in trouble 
❄❄
What's the link to that winter mod? 
Who asked me if it was a man truck
Prob a big dum dum
Idk i got the notification
You can clearly see that it’s an overgrown Iveco he drives

a lolvo
Looking like a Renault 
Volvo Range T
@thick cedar so you know where to get parts
Of course
Where did you get the extended mirror arm for that big boi visor then
It's not extended
If you want to extend it, make it your own, or ask Volvo if they have it
hows it not hitting the visor then
It's bolted down onto the visor
i need to see some pics of how that works
is there another bracket on the inside of the visor then
i just pictured bolts sticking through the visor in my head
The bolts are actually really small
On the visor it worked
I can't really say about extending and sht. I just know it worked with this visor
Extending one would be a pain cause volvo stuff is mostly plastic
Taking anything apart in an fh4 feels like you're gonna snap all the plastic clips 😂
Atleast in the interior yeah
And the panels above the grille, the ones around the sign board, the mirror backs...
That's why you can get exterior bars and sht from Volov itself

Stop woahing 

Nice
nicee
😯
Wonder how all that affects payload
probs not much at all
your speaking of probably adding like a 100kg in total not even
nice
nice truck!
In the company you need actual shoes so
It's chill when you drive or need to go out for smth
ETS3 screenshot 
Ciney is postponed 
@thick cedar ye those are the most comfy i could find easy to put on/off
warm waterproof
Rip

gg...
rip volvo
lol
Lots of snow here too
😂

Potty shush
Break excercise
if a street cleaner had a baby with a garbage truck 
its that small to fit in the stupid small streets of the uk lol
Yeah and low cabs for that kinda job are quite vital as I imagine you have to jump in and out of it a lot in days job
way too much hahaha
Here the garbo trucks have a driver and 2 ppl in the back that put in the bins and sht
the ones here just have them grabby robot arms
and im honestly surprised they make it into some streets and manage to turn around in them
not every street
a friend of mine saw a semi try to maneuver in a narrow street, ended up smashing a pole into a window
i onlt go and get shops and things so just me on my own all day i love it
Well yeah not every trucker can drive alebret 

Weird flex
Not a flex
As real-life truckers, what have been your main challenges that you have faced on-duty during the coronavirus outbreak?
Especially in terms of travel
None
Our company just doesn't wanna drive to other European Countries now
But we could
The real issue is other peoples stupidity.
The amount of people not keeping distance to us, touching everything they can etc etc. For us for example that transport foodstuff it can be devastating if one of us gets infected and we can't be tested we just get sent home at the slightest of symptoms for it.
So regular people being out and about now should stay far away from truck drivers, and don't touch stuff you don't absolutely have to touch. That's pretty much common sense in this situation now but a lot seem to be unable to understand that...

Finding food here. There are many places that just straight up closed down. So we aren't able to get everything we need.
Everything is still open here
The real issue is other peoples stupidity.
@patent bolt in the netherlands truckers are getting denied basic acces to toilets etc
but theyre magicly allowed in the expo halls to unload the trailers
some truckdrivers litterally just drive off if they arent even allowed to use the toilet but are allowed to unload since the people in those halls are not able to get sick etc?
In many countries that's illegal to deny them basic rights such as a bathroom.
yes
truckstops are closing etc
but theres a few who see that the truckers have no acces to food etc
since they usually eat at truckstops
so they offer that u call them on the parking and theyll bring u the food
- lavatories are still usable but with a max amount of people in at the same time
i think once enough truckers just go ahead and give up cuz this stuff everything will come to a stop and u basicly know who to blame
Where's the truck?
Ok i give up. You fking Scania Fan 


= ❤️
Yes. Just like Volvo, MAN
And a bit of DAF
Go away Noxii

MAN and Volvo is definetly good. We have the comfort options too and it's just as good as a Scania 😆
Frenzy you never drove a truck in RL ^^
😟

I wouldn't get out of bed to drive an MAN 
Weird man
Yeah no
big yikes haha
Wich one of u got spotted
jesus christ
Ahw you slipped of the road?
No
It doesn't look bad in the picture
Can't really say what happened cuz we're in TMP Discord 
Oh ye 
Like tmp?
just a few bruises
bcuz person didnt make it

Looks cute ngl
Go away Beni
Definetly not
You don't have a good taste in trucks
You should go away cuz you're not a RL trucker

You don't have a good taste in trucks
@dark scroll Are you dumb


Now, that Mercedes is 

@potent cave isn't that a Bring Frigo trailer?
@patent bolt nah, just looks like it. it says frigo on the side if it's frigo
Why does it have a cooler then? 
Aye thought as much cuz otherwise I would have told you to give back our trailer! 😛 @potent cave
i gotta admit those headlights look perfect with them highbeams
nice days
i'm seeing b-doubles driving around in norway and i always think to myself that i wanna pull one of those. b-doubles is my baby when i play on tmp🥺
Why do you prefer b-doubles than this setup?
Axorell. The setup you have is way better than b-doubles 
I've had it too and it was aLrIgHt to drive
nice
nice
@uncut vapor hy pretty JP , where you drive ? i've never seen you 🤔
I'm not JP 
Bit inappropriate I think @verbal cape
Spotted this at the pumps anyone know what daf it is? Its really awesome
thats looks cool
Yeah

Its parked at the gas station on the dyke here
Idk if they restored it and are working on it etc
Or if its just owned by someone who parked it here
looks like a custom 2300, but not sure
@lean wave why is it, we’re in a real life group any real life trucker can laugh about that


Not really but anyways 🙄
Yeah, it might be a joke, but some people may have different perspectives.

I knew it was a joke, but some stuff should remain in private Discords that allow it or in DM, that sort of thing was for 18+, and just don't forget about that this server is partnered
Oh sorry Benji, when did you become a mod?
Snowflakes man, it is a joke, what other perspectives is there? If talking about a dildo offends you then youve got issues. Grow up
Hello @verbal cape, i understand that you were trying to make people laugh, however it is inappropriate and against the rules.
Please read rule 6,01 and 6,05 in #discord-rules.
@paper bear Please watch your attitude.
I do more than watch it.
And its called being honest
Any minor here should leave cuz he ain’t fit for the real life truckers
And he ain’t if you are below 18
Anyways i’ll go with it
Rules are rules and apply for every channel in this discord server.
Oh yeah, we cant talk about sex, the most natural thing about our species.
Isnt anything worse than talking about a truck crash. I think that is way more sensitive of a subject.
Some here probaly don’t even understand the joke i bet


Sam, you have to understand that it's not only 18+ guys on this Discord, I didn't see the nsfw tag in the channel, also there's women, even in staff, which are not all comfortable with such adult content, I don't mean to be a so called "snowflake", but just ask to understand that there is some things deemed appropriate and some others that should be kept more privately
You saying men cant use dildos?
only women?
😮 the blasphemy!
never knew saying the word dildo was nsfw. dont know about you, but we talk about dildos and sex all the time at work. Its called jokes!
but i dont expect you lot to understand.... you have to actually have a job to see that,
End of discussion, keep it topic releted.
All the hiab drivers can relate
Basically the same thing, just as challenging!
Hello, trucker. I'm new at this trucking logistic and I'm planning to have my own truck. Right now I'm using Mitsubishi Fuso FM 517 HL LONG and that belong to company. Usually I'm driving local and mid-range deliveries (Under 500km). I'm living on Asia (Tropical) so I can get the truck just based on Euro 3 and 4, and the brand just Hino, Mitsubishi, Volvo, and Scania. I wonder if I choose the Volvo FMX is that a great deal or not ? Thanks. And I'm trying to make my own logistic company.
Ahhh, I see. I can't @serene mason that's belong my company I work for.
I ever heard before, but in here they just introduced us with FM, FMX, FH16 model
Maybe like the FL model they got covered by Hino and Mitsubishi Fuso cause they're cheaper and reliable.
Like the Toyota car
The fh 16 is 750hp which i assume you don’t need according to the current work u do
I would go for an fm
An fm is also nice for city work cuz of the low entry
An fmx is good as tipper
And which more durable for tropic tire the Michelin or Goodyear ?
I have no idea
For my car I'm using Michelin and pretty impressive. And I don't know about the truck.
I have goodyears on mine and they already do well for 2 years
Hankook!
Sam is the expert
Okay, thanks @verbal cape
Lol
Rip
Do you have any dashcam video?
No unfortunately
Yikes, I hope you have good coverage, I mean it wasn't your fault
We should
Been busy with intermodal, figure I'd get a picture in. Yeah, I'm a company driver.
On a lighter note, do I still qualify for the truckathome event if I'm actually doing real miles? I think that's cheating, right? 
Ya'll be safe and healthy.
And with this i say good night.. 😕
not gonna lie, kinda scary when the plow mount breaks off.. all because one bad bolt 😦
😅 that sucks
The Scania is unavailable for a box truck, they just sell a tipper in here. And unfortunately the Volvo FM is great and already contact the dealer but the trouble is my insurance, they put it high premi for the insurance cover just cause my truck is expensive than other truck. That suck, I mean we know in here trucking like ahole but that doesn't mean I need paid more cause my truck. Which driver wanna make a scratch on his truck ? We loved our rig like our car, lol.
Ohyeah, what most important tool to bring in our rig in case of mechanical issues ?
For now I just bring my steel hammer, crowbar, toolkit, and wrench. With 1 spare tire.
And I forgot to ask on dealer, is Euro 3 Engine Volvo D13A is need BlueAd Diesel ? Thanks
Some of this stuff u can probs find on volvo website or google
And for tools
A wrench thats big and strong enough to take off tire bolts
And just an normal sized set incase something breaks + some screwdrivers
Ahhh, the screwdriver. In my toolkit just have small and that's a flat not philips.
Thanks, mate.
Screwdriver kit is handy anyways incase u need to open something in the cab or change a broken taillight etc
Ahh, I found it they don't need on Euro 3 but needed higher than 3, thanks.
Do you know which more durable tire, a Goodyear or Michelin ?
I'm on tropical weather. For my car I'm using Michelin and pretty impressive. And I don't know about the truck.
Any ideas what model this is? Just a curious American.
volvo fh16
if i recall correctly this one has it
I think it's FH without FH16
Hmmm
Nice

@formal minnow took the picture. 


If you real life truckers would have to simulate the suspension in-game, what would you put the settings to?

Or being returned 

😎
My office during the week
Lol
People posting their cool rigs meanwhile here i am with this hunkajunk
Autoskeidas
Oh wow an actual sensible setup
Aye my precious 👌🏻
@patent bolt new spot lights?
Yup 👌🏻
Very Nice 
Even tho Scania clearly didn’t bother setting them up properly as they’re aiming in different directions all of them basically 🤣
Dayum
Warehouse for groceries
Completely blocking the road 😂
They blocked the gas station too
Full load of empty pallets to keep places happy during the lock down in nz
well that is interesting
Maybe not a full tank and had to brake hard? No idea how that would happen otherwise
I suppose he was so overloaded on the front of the trailer he just tipped
@thick cedar did you have to queue in that grocery line?
What truck were you in then?
The Daf
The grocery warehouse doesn't need only groceries
They needed like some sort of weird things for their electricity
Idek what it was tbh
the blue daf?
Weird, did you take the stone guard off?
Yes 
Why?
lol
And you took the window light off too?
I am a RL trucker
Wannabe truckers here
Va
By the looks of it
Not a wannabe. Just thought it would be cool to say i waited for so long 
Hmm, or maybe you thought it would be cool to say you drive that daf
thats just like me posting a picture of a foot patrol in iraq, then saying "ah i just thought it would be cool"
Hmm, or maybe you thought it would be cool to say you drive that daf

Hes an actual truck driver lmao
And he does drive that daf
Just not this one occasion boohoo
nice assumptions 
Bloody hell lighten up
I think its time to move it on now 🙂
though I have to say, peeps in this channel are never shy to call someone out
There's definitely some miserable folk in here that's for sure 🙄
That was... Interesting? Nonetheless, have I ever said that I eventually want to become a trucker in a few years?
well I’ve been on lockdown for nearly a month and horse transport is not essential so until this is over I won’t be trucking
but luckily my dad is the owner of the company so i still get paid


Shame, Beni does drive a truck. As do I. Man, Kroger is taking ages today. Been here since 1400. It's almost 1830.
This yard is... Abhorrent
Yeah, I'd rather not discuss some of the comments made in this channel, I was also called a snowflake at some point, which was really not appreciated. Nonetheless, nice pic, but shame that you're stuck there waiting, I hate waiting to be honest
Snowflake 
What is this, 2016?
I've been watching Smith videos for a while now.
Harold Smith
aka
http://www.smith-system.com/about/our_company/
is seen in this old 16mm film about defensive driving
Watch as he drifts into the right & left lanes without a blinker or hand signal & later towards the end of the video he exits the highway drifting into 2 left ...
It's a good video. The uploader is just a salty peanut

This channel is so dead 
I'll bring it alive one day, in a few years 

this chat died
Nah, just resting and recharging for the night 
It's dead because it's trash uwu
Oof
Anyway, my truck decided it didn't like having power, and shredded the turbo
As well as start to shred my serpentine belt
OUCH
its dead because there are much better irl trucking channels in other discords so people use those instead
I think I might have an idea why that is, but I'd rather not discuss it here
I mean I'm one that prefer to keep things more "clean", I'd probably stay away from those said other channels
I kniw what you're trying @tawny moth 

Lord Benji was in it but we were talking about a website with inappropriate videos on it and he left

Don’t ban me! Irl trucking yes 

I mean I hate it when people try to tell me how to do my job when they don't even drive a damn car.
Then do your job right lol
:/


You missed the rules here then? 🤔

random truck pic?
Now that's a plow 👌
You missed the rules here then? 🤔
whoops, my fault. sorreh 🙃
Joined it here again, atleast roads are empty now due to corona 
Since Actros was mentioned, I shall show my truck her name is "Nightly Beauty Queen"
Since Actros was mentioned, I shall show my truck her name is "Nightly Beauty Queen"
@rugged cape u mean nightly broken queen
No, that would be my truck. Blew a idler pulley last weekend, and now my check engine light is on again. I love my Volvo.
Real life ets2 
Its a V8? @smoky walrus
Depends on what you're hauling 
I’d NEVER use a 440bhp truck for what we’re hauling, if boss came waving with one like that I’d tell him to drive it himself then.
I almost have never over 15 tons and never drive in hills so can't care about hp
Jesus I thought that was ingame
@serene quartz Milcobel Langemark or Kallo?
Langemark
Ah nice man I come there regular base for Ysco
Yes my dad works there i go to work with him alot but he. Works at night you know
Friendly people there man, my truck broke down there earlier this year and waited 7 hours for mechanic
And brings it to the factory
Ye they are nice
The mercedes has 450 HP wich is decent and we weigh 46 tons when fuly loaded
Prety nice
Nice scania btw
Ty mate, it's basic but it works

This was my old one a bit more tuned
Ooo I like the yellow 
Snow do be disappearing
Crash it, I'm gonna bought it from you. But please make it tender.

You know, I'm not a butcher. Just a driver love to eat steak if got little more income every end of the month or lucky end of the week.
Yeah a good steak is never bad and reindeer is mighty fine meat, the sirloin is sooo tender 👌🏻
Beautiful!
Wasn't your truck white 

@serene quartz i'll one up you, my merc goes up to 60t occasionally with a 430hp and the route is hilly af
i've invented more swear words driving that truck than at any other point

why is real life trucking below pets channel again
They sorted it in alphabetical order for claimable roles
@stable lynx this is a Volvo ?
Yes
we have this interior in old European Volvo
Yeah. Freightliner is the same way with Mercedes. Current gen cascadia's have a last gen Mercedes dash
Nice
Poor DAF 😦

Unloaded fruit and veggies and time to head a bit south to load some milk tomorrow. 🙏🏻
I like the lightbar you have on the roof, are those angel eyes?
Nah it’s a L.E.D. stripe on the top of those lights
Still very nice
Wish I could drive that
Don’t drive to fast tomorrow otherwise you’ll have milkshakes 🥳
I see that as a win

Washing time 😁
Beautiful
Milk on truck 
Nice IveMaserati
Nice custom but still a Iveco..
one of the best ivecos you'd see on the roads, I like it.

nice
🤮 @uncut vapor we have the same with an fh13 and p300 truck+trailer 👌 but i have never drive'n this 💩 
where you are from?
mmh oise, how is it going up north? @uncut vapor
@uncut vapor yeah i know, it's what i talking about 😉
I will have DAF XF 105 or Mercedes MP4
go for the daf
@uncut vapor DAF always
Still i would choose DAF
I like more DAF but it is not me who choose
this is a old pic, Iveco is in the trash 
@patent bolt you have day 22/24?
Yes basically @grizzled zinc , we do still get a bit of darkness at nights but not much at all so, you can still see everything perfectly fine at night and in a week or 2 it’ll be daylight 24/7 yes. 👌🏻
that's nice 😍
i love it
although i would prefer it if the mesh grill part would be red too, or black
That way the white would be broken up a bit
but yeah, the truck still lokks absolutely mega
The durabrites and painted hubs, the painted guards, custom sides
everything 😋
shows the difference between a customised truck and the standard.
They can look like 3 times as good
yep
Sucks you have a man tho :p
But for the rest I am jealous
Indeed
The air suspension is always late it feels like
Wow on the truck
Wanna have that as well
I just drive the van for now
Dont have the right licenses yet
Still nice to drive when you don’t have school thi
Ooh little MAN
It is like trucktrailer
Or small truck
I've driven the dad
Well it is a tgx tho
Not the little day cab with the six speed
Because that thing sucks
Yes
But the combi is getting renewed
I can park everywhere with the baby MAN
I like more comfort of DAF
I have driven the XF 106 19 tons with 450hp
This one was at my work last week 🥺🥺🥺🤩🤩
So much hp for 19 ton
450? That engine sucks right?
We have only 460 daf 106 i think
19 tonnes total or cargo?
Yeah thats nothing for 450
We send away combinations of 40 tons
We need the 460 than
Nice volvo

Great, had to jump start my car to go back to my flat

Hello guys its Gamergasm here and welcome to my first ever POV Livestream and my first IRL Livestream , This Livestream was broadcasted on the 14th of May 2020 during the great bordem of Coronavirus / COVID 19. In this POV we are driving my lorry around Western Scotland. To ca...

Nice truck @patent bolt you are from Norway right?
I live in Norway yes, but I'm not from Norway no.
So no one in this chat is from the US then, I’m lonely
That’s not true, there’s some from US here as well.
I don’t see them that often
Maybe they're busy driving
How is it to drive there with that big nose?
It’s ehh ok
It’s a T880
I just went to San Francisco in that thing and I got to say for a truck it does amazing
i also went there and sat into one
Well me and my dad since I can’t drive
but never drove one
Yeah they’re good trucks
Still cool tho
Wait you're not the one driving yet you're posting pictures in here? 🤨
It's not co driver if they're not driving at all.
Co fakedriver :p
You can kind of say cause he does mostly construction(Dump Truck)
Oh yeah, absolutely! We definitely need those guys.
My county says otherwise tho, they shut down all the sites for 5 weeks
2 weeks ago they just opened them
Well, anything not food related basically got nuked.
I guess you can say
The reefer side is the side that's getting freight still. A lot of dry trucks are parked.
Or, well, were. Things are opening up again.
I'm gonna pop my laptop open and try to entertain myself. Hope y'all have fun out there!
Ight peace
So no one in this chat is from the US then, I’m lonely
