Re: My Life as a Trucker
a good rest and a very productive week is what I wish for you
Re: My Life as a Trucker
Thanks @ all
This Week not so much.
---->
Again bought the magazine "Trucker".
Nice Presentation of PWT Scania

I hope this colleague looks at his saddle plate again before saddling up.

Departure control:
Lamps work.
Finished.

Nothing going on the A3. So you can also make a good route.

In Bad Kreutznach I met my best friend for a long time.

Shortly before Würzburg I met a colleague. We then drove together towards home. ConvoiStyle


See ya Next Week.

Re: My Life as a Trucker
Beautiful photos as always! It looks really fun! 

Re: My Life as a Trucker
very nice pictures and trucks,
at first i thought they were screenshots from a moded game until i saw your arm.
i noticed there is a culture in Europe and the USA of having nice equipped trucks and drivers taking care of them(i just learned there are even magazines of them).
where i live the trucks look like wrecks,all dusty/dirty,poorly maintained and like rolling dangers,
transporting mainly construction stuff,food,stinky chickens and obviously other needed appliances.
maybe it's because i live in a small country with short distances and in the USA and Europe drivers get their own truck and treat it as a second home.
i even saw a video in a scania concession in Europe where they talk about not entering the cabin with shoes and had an inscription "no shoes" on the bottom of the entrance.

and another nice one i saw there

Re: My Life as a Trucker
I've never heard it being called a "saddle plate" before. We and most places around the globe call it a fifth wheel. Nice photos by the way 

Re: My Life as a Trucker
@enmei that's a direct translation from the german term ("Sattelplatte")
Cool shots once again mate, nice walking-floor convoy you got there !
