And you'll get that advice from anyone

# rugged cape My advice is don't

i know this is risky but i like to do it cuz i am going to study logistic and it will myby work out i am going in to it i just like to get some advices if is someone there who can hellp me i am european

stable lynx
#

Best piece of advice you will ever get owning a truck, "You must have a large fortune in order to make a small fortune."

#

1 truck in the US costs about $150,000-$200,000. The average weekly income of a truck owner is $6,000-$10,000. Meaning it could take 10 years to pay off a truck.

barren nova
#

like i am just gona buy trucks and pays drivers

#

i need advices how to find drivers, posible clients and company related things

stable lynx
#

I can't help ya there

barren nova
stable lynx
#

No problem

median orchid
# queen brook Umm no.

And your rebutle would be based on what? Yankees know how to build quality, powerful and reliable trucks.

#

Change my mind

#

European trucks just look aesthetically pleasing. If we get down to the nitty-gritty details, Americans outdo them by a mile.

median orchid

# barren nova i know this is risky but i like to do it cuz i am going to study logistic and it...

I don't own a truck myself but I did study Transport and Logistics for one year before I started on my license, and I asked a lot of people because I want to be my own king one day too.

A lot of people think the only investment you need to start is to buy the truck and some paperwork, but reality is that you'll have to pay for loan, diesel, adblue, tyres, parts and maintenance for at least 2-3 months before earning any money because you won't get paid by your customers day by day. One advice I got is that when you have enough money to buy two trucks, you are able to afford buying and running one truck without putting yourself in too much debt. For example a โ‚ฌ80k truck, you should also have โ‚ฌ80k in the bank.

median orchid
#

It's expensive, tiresome, but it's a joy watching your truck belowing down the road with it's straight pipes having engaged the brake jake

#

All that stress is worth it

stable lynx
rugged cape
#

The thing is, here in Norway the "DOT" is so strict with noise and light pollution that any styling and joy you'd find would likely be illegal. I think starting up in Norway is one of the hardest places, since you have everything working against you when it comes to DOT, Diesel Prices, Taxes, Tolls, Weather, Roads, Hills, competing against companies from different countries where drivers get 1/10th of the salary you get.

barren nova

#

You're picking the worst American truck brand.dont leave out Kenworth, Peterbilt, Freightliner (I happen to own one) and so forth

barren nova
median orchid
#

The only disadvantage of owning an American truck is that parts are expensive

median orchid
#

And I have to import them from the USA

#

Since I live in South Africa

rugged cape
#

You're Canadian?

#

Even harder

median orchid
#

There are Freightliner dealerships

stable lynx
median orchid
#

But they have to import them most of the time

barren nova

#

You have a choice. Either they fly them over for a pretty penny or they ship them but it'll take longer

stable lynx
#

Every Kenworth I ever owned felt like I was jumping 50 feet in the air if I even looked at reverse. I never drove a pete, my first international blew it's engine 42 miles after I got it. Freightliner has Def issues across the board and Volvo is impossible to get anybody to service them

median orchid
#

What issues with a freightliner?

#

I own an Argosy

#

Cummins 500

rugged cape
median orchid
#

Always use DHL and fly things over. But just know it's expensive

stable lynx
#

New freightliners have a Deisel Exhaust Fluid system or AdBlue in europe, the sensors in this system like to throw fault codes and derate the truck to 5 mph

median orchid
#

It's the sea salt

#

Ye you're right Phoenix. I've got a buddy of mine who owns the 2018 version of the Freightliner

#

Same exact issues your mentioning

#

My model is a bit older (2008)

stable lynx
#

It's a very common issue.

median orchid
#

But she runs well

stable lynx
#

Older trucks generally run better then their modern counterparts. having said that, modern trucks are generally lower maintenance, more comfortable, and run more fuel efficient then older trucks

median orchid
#

Well most modern trucks have all electronic stuff and are mostly automated. Which has its benefits. But I believe in older trucks because should problems arise, you get your toolbox and get those hands greasy.

#

Hence I tend to lean more towards late 90s American trucks. And some European trucks like the Iveco Stralis, or DAF

rugged cape
#

If you know how to mechanic, older truck could he more affordable

median orchid
#

Volvos Scannias etc are overly complex for me honestly.

median orchid
#

He used to work at the serving section at Freightliner

rugged cape
#

Sometimes the work is out of your hand, but putting a older truck in a shop for every small thing could drain your pocket

#

You probably change brakes, tires, oils etc yourself

median orchid
#

I do the basics myself

#

Along with him

#

Complex stuff i send it over to the shop

rugged cape
#

We have a 2000 Volvo FH in our company and it still runs like a charm

#

But it runs expensive

#

@median orchid what's the profit margin in SA? In Norway you can expect around 2% profit

trail vault
queen brook
#

Considering they lack the safety features European trucks do. Their engines are outdated, gearboxes are outdated

#

Expect newer volvos

#

And some paccar products

#

Still disk brakes arent the norm. They mostly use drums

#

Air suspension lacks features

#

Acc only exists in few trucks

#

12v electrical systems

#

I can go on and on

stable lynx
#

Modern Freightliner trucks are just an American version of the previous generation Mercedes.

#

ACC in America won't be useful in any application until more vehicles use it. And the sheer stubbornness of most people means it's a stupid slow adoption time.

#

Until I got in this International I am in now, ACC was broken or not on the truck.

Gear ratios?

Etc

polar ruin
polar ruin
# queen brook Gear ratios?

Both rear axles around 2,90, both 16 speed power mode, both 8*2 crane trucks, both same load for total weight of 37 tons, same hill, Volvo overtakes daf pretty fast

paper bear
#

But the daf is cheaper

#

So what if it's a few seconds behind on hills, it's more economical for companies so it's a good truck

polar ruin
paper bear
#

Any truck with air suspension on the front axle with an air ride seat will feel like a cloud, personally I think the new gen scanias are a comfier truck than the new dafs.

Our manual one, when in 4tg the gear stick is touching your left leg,

#

Can't have the arm rest down as it collides with the gear stick.

#

Bottle holder is closed off when the arm rest is down too

#

Massive blind spots caused by the huge dash

But a comfy big bed and a nice asthetic

#

Easy to use and understand dash and infotainment system. Nice trucks overall but there is better. Anyway I'm out for now, see yous

#

They're too weak

#

Volvo, Merc and Scania is where it's at

paper bear
#

One I see often, they make great haevy haul trucks. Not "weak"

#

Remember, back in the day heavy haul trucks weren't all this 700hp plus stuff, they were in the 500 mark,

wooden bronze
#

Driveline gearing makes all the difference. HP numbers don't mean nearly as much as torque does.

paper bear
#

Yeah, 500 is plenty, traction becomes an issue before power does when they're geared like this,

#

And 700hp won't give you better traction!

patent bolt
#

Actually that might be true for you there then but not really here, as I said I've never seen a heavy hauler with as low hp as a DAF has here and as far as I am aware the Volvo I Shift is pretty neat for heavy hauls

Don't ask me I don't drive that just stating the facts that none here use them as they're weak.

paper bear
#

Riiight... Well there are dafs here that'll out pull your motor I'll tell you that ๐Ÿค”

patent bolt
#

I'd say that that depends a lot on what you're hauling and where

paper bear
#

How?

patent bolt
#

Lets pretend you're going up a slight hill with a DAF 530 vs Volvo 750 both built for heavy haul you can't seriously believe the DAF has any chance in pulling the Volvo there?

paper bear
#

No, it won't out pull the Volvo

#

The volvo will fly up hills quicker

#

But if we're talking the steepest of the steepest

#

Low gear

#

Power is then out of the window,

#

It doesn't matter

patent bolt
#

Yeah but you said it yourself Volvo is quicker and you know yourself that time is money

#

So no I have never seen any such heavy hauler here as most here are the top of the line from Scania, Volvo or Merc

paper bear
#

You can't call a truck weak, because it has less than 600horse

#

And drive lines

patent bolt
#

It is quite tho

paper bear
#

Both trucks would be able to climb the same grade of hill, because both trucks would either break something or lose traction before power came an issue

patent bolt
#

I think DAF would sell a lot more if they did offer some stronger engine similar to the 650

paper bear
#

There's a couple 600+ dafs around here that I've seen, mapped ofc. But yes, I agree. They would really benefit in sales

patent bolt
#

Like for fuel efficiency seeing where we drive our 650 Scanias have a nice economy to them meaning we want to keep those trucks in that engine range which in this case means DAF is out of the question

paper bear
#

But for your runs, a 540 scania

#

A daf could do that happily too

patent bolt
#

Yeah that is true

#

I was referring to my old 650 and that route

#

But yeah I'm open to trying different brands

paper bear
#

They aren't a shower of Shi.. they are decent trucks, just not as high on the power tree

#

But for heavy haul, they used to be tipiog the tree, or near it. And they're still on the tree now, because they make a strong truck

patent bolt
#

Boss won't have it tho as we have a company driving under us who have struggled a lot with their DAF meaning our boss have seen a negative side of them also their service network here is potato which is something we rely on a lot

paper bear
#

Ah, fair does.

#

Kings, alleys, west of Scotland, collet. All these big heavy haul companies have had dafs and still have the newer dafs.

If companies like that still get them, it really says a lot. They make good trucks, and value for money they are one of the best.

The reason for having such low trucks is often due to that they're operating in cities where as you might then come across a lot of tunnels that are rather low

Especially in bigger cities like Stockholm and Gothenburg etc, in those places they're quite common to get the cargo from the hubs out to the customers

Vabis steering wheel does not have buttons

But I'll have to order a horn maybe "Hadley868"

Or turkish whistle.

wraith knoll
# eternal rose There are no buttons

No, from the original wheel, the original wheel had buttons, this one has not... Where did you put the buttons from the original steering wheel?

eternal rose
#

Ok wait

tawny moth

Heโ€™s asking like where did you remap the steering wheel buttons from the standard scania steering wheel, like Cruise control I believe is on the wheel in those scanias

iโ€™m lucky. i work for a concrete company so we pick up at 2 different places for rock depending which plant we go to deliver and 1 place for sand than we go deliver at our plants

#

pic off google donโ€™t have a pic of my truck dumping, but thatโ€™s what i mean by the frame

scarlet current
#

ok now i get what u mean

outer current
dry sandal
#

and the second question is, isn't the hydraulic gonna break?

outer current
#

I just feel like having all 4 or 6 wheels on the ground with a tippable body would be more stable than balancing the whole weight on the rear axle only but idk I'm not a tipper driver

tepid yew
#

third question- aint that gonna tip over like everywhere on non-flat surface?

eternal rose
#

This is possible when the tipper is not properly positioned and may tip over under heavy loads

tepid yew
#

tipper not having heavy loads? lul

#

everything except air is gonna be heavy there

eternal rose
#

I mean tons

tepid yew
#

i know

#

but still you cant load a heavy load into that because of the first two questions

#

so i think that is just for something light in a flat area

eternal rose
#

Yes you're right

tepid yew
#

it just looks like that anything more than 10 tons could be a problem

eternal rose
#

Yes even and more

scarlet current
#

in denmark if u have a 3 axl truck and 3 axl trailer u can have 30 to 35 tons

#

and if u have 3 on truck and 4 on tailer its like 40 tons

#

soooo

#

and tipper they haul 40 tons and a small bit more in denmark

#

a 2 axl truck and 2 axel trailer its up to 42 44 tons

eternal rose
#

In Poland I I can have on tipper 40 tons max

Actually not fully correct tho, if I recall right it is in fact illegal to film or photograph accidents in some countries and you can get fined for doing so

scarlet current
#

in denmark i think

#

idk

summer valve
#

Atleast here when going past a accident, if you have a dashcam that only saves the record if you press a button or if you happen to be in a crash, you can't save the video. If you have a dashcam that records and saves everything when on, you can't upload the video anywhere

patent bolt
#

Yeah but recording/photographing an accident scene with a cellphone is different. I mean sure if itโ€™s a fender bender I donโ€™t see an issue with it but Iโ€™ve seen people take pictures of horrible accidents where lives are lost and that disgusts me

#

Lost a coworker 2 years ago in a horrible head on collision between 2 trucks and pictures from that scene quickly showed up everywhere and it was the last thing I wanted to see, there was basically nothing left of the trucks
