Starting the day in the beautiful office :D

Throwin a container on the trailer, really hard to see in the dark.... Believe me, it is really creepy when you miss the tracks :/ Luckly for me, I am one of few in the company with a controller so I can manouver the hooklift form the outside :D

This truck is amazing to drive, a really beast with the 580 hp :D The only thing I dont like is the gearbox, somtetimes it feels like it doesent know how heavy it is when it comes to gearing... And I HATE when it switches in uphills :(

Nice truck you got!
Mabye a good tip for you is to switch into "manual" mode on the gerbox when going uphill so it doesnt change gear and you dont loose momentum.

Hello!

Friday and finally weekend :D

Driven alot of tree today! 60 tonns I think (only the tree weight, did 3 tours)

Ready loaded for monday where I go to Egersund with isolation waste. This load wheigts alot sometimes so I have to be really carefull with the weight. But today it was only 40 tonns. So now I dont need to worry about crossing the weight-controllstation Krossmoen :D Once, I got stopped there with an overload of 5,5 tonns on the boggilift and 3 tonns too much on the total weight :( In which ended with a really big fine...

Wish you all a good weekend everybody!

Hello!

Its been a really hard week :/ It started with a failure with the excavator that fills up my tree containers, so I got alot of tours to Egersund Svaaheia with isolation waste and some plaster waste.

One of my last trips to Egersund ended with a slap in my left mirror :( Another trucker that didnt want to share the road with me ;)

Later this week the excavator got up and runnin so back on my tree line :D
