yeah man,i love seeing heavy haulage,i saw 1 of heanors 660 volvo pulling a trailer with a train on the other day,it was amazing the roar it was making,and as for the trailer falling off bet he was popular with his gaffer,i check mine every morning wether its been in the yard or if ive been out,our gaffer has lost a trailer before so he insists on it now.

Mr.T

So i geuss you are a truckdriver to then . And yes he should have checked before leaving. I do the same everymoring. Not doing the very heavy stuff but with 28tons of paper pulp my truck hits the 47tons mark. So with only 340HP its heavy enough for me

fuzzy

whys everyone standing about watching/filming trucks carrying cranes?

Mr.T

Was filmed on the Mack transportdag (truckfestival)

fuzzy

i see. i bet the guy that dropped his trailer felt a right coont then with everyone watching.

kosman

340??? only 8wheelers have them engines here! yeah i drive for a living normally out most of the week,its a nice merc aswell,i would be gutted if that happened to me

Mr.T

Yep only an 340 But then again it only did 550000km so all the horsies are still there Plus its a 12litre engine.

kosman

mines a 460 just turned540,000 and it winds me up cos its slow,especially uphill with 1 of the gaffers v8 580 scanias behind me pushing me and giving me grief over cb

fuzzy

i seen it happen to a truck in front of me locally. a tesco hgv dropped its trailer at the roundabout outside the depot and dug into the tarmac. my mate works there says thats a sacking offence as its the drivers duty to check everythings secure.

Mr.T

It is. You always check. Don't want to think about it when it happens on the highway or something

TurboShed

"only" 550,000km? That's over half a million km. What do you consider high mileage then?

Mr.T

Ask your boss for an merc v8

Mr.T

1milj. And even that isnt a reason to loose the truck. We have trucks at our company that did 1.3 or 1.5 milj. They are getting replaced tho.

kosman

my boss has got tankers,tautliners and tippers,he wont have anything other than vovlo and scania,and he wont let us tipper boys have scanias because they cant stand up to tipper work i.e his polite way of saying us tipper boys are rough bastards ha
