Thomson's Truckpics from real life

[Thomson]

I've been thinking this for a while.

But now I made the decision and create a new topic here for my IRL truckpics (also may contain random shots from my work).

First, something about my work and the truck I drive.

It's a merc!

On the prev. pic you can see our "old lady", a MB Actros 2544. It's still in work but not daily, not even every week. Just replacing others if they are on workshop ect.

[Micho014]

NIce pics, I noticed that many trucks from your pics have those crome bullbars, from what brand?

[Thomson]

Thanks

Big ones (like at Kalotti truck on my pics here) are usually made by Custom Parts or RST Steel (RST Steel ones has their logo on)

And those smaller ones, like in our one MB, Auvinen MB and Arposalo Scaniahas made by Hio-Mex from Finland. Also my MB roofbar is made by Hio-Mex
