One of the biggest ongoing memes on this board is that euro trucks are better built than American trucks. It’s honestly so laughable once u really start looking into it. All euro trucks are pressed steel unibody boxes. They then have actual plastic faux panels, vents and trims glued all over them. That’s it.Here in USA. The Peterbilt is made from rust proof aluminum lap seam rivet construction. No faux plastic on our flagship models. It looks like it does because this is utility incarnate. No arbitrary length laws. We are free. Also we have owner operators over here. In Europe only company drivers exist.
lol.
Can u imagine being a seething eurocuck trapped in this shitbox scania
lol what the fuck is this shit.
Fucking Bodied
Here is the part number for the shelf u guys have to sleep on lmao.Look how it’s cut around the seats

>>28084147Only thing I can agree with is that the sleeper could be bigger (in markets where the extra length is permissible) rather than bed in a day cab
What the fuck is up with you Euros and putting fucking Michelin men and shit on your trucks? Also what's up with the fucking cringe paint jobs?
>>28084201Customization is extremely limited. They do what they can. Which is very little.
>>28084201While we are talking about it. Notice how the convex mirrors are on top the west coast mirrors. That means cars passing you can see your waist area. Which means you cannot jack off.

>>28084562>kid asking why something is Shiny instead of being plastic Find out yourself lmao
>>28084555Given the history of Russian truck designs and manufacture, that may as well be an "american" truck. Betting if you scratch the paint off that thing, it says "Graham" or "Studebaker" underneath.
>>28084738That's an Ukrainian truck though.
>>28084013>mutt lorries >mutt trucks>mutt muscle cars>mutt corvettesdaily mutt cope threads . meanwhile in europe ...
>>28084398The c16 is a 20 year old engine. But it can be flashed to 635hp. And with a cam injectors and larger turbo it can be 800hpBesides cat underrates their hp. A cat hp is like 1.3hp. I can’t explain it. It’s just black magic. My 3406 550 fine. Real people actually own trucks in the USA as opposed to corporations in Europe. Sky is the limit. Here is a c18
why are plastic body panels bad?
>>28084742Meanwhile in Europe nobody owns anything. I have yet to talk to a European owner operator. Every other person here in the USA owns a truck it’s just normal.
>>28084746Because it’s the only thing they differentiates the brand of the truck from each other. And when Sven’s and carls are the new plastic fascia they think it means the truck is well built. When in reality it’s the same shit with different plastic on it.This is my truck when it was delivered. Zoom in on it. Lap seam rivet construction. Why can’t anyone in Europe do this? All they can do is press steel and glue more steel to it.
>>28084749truthfully it's probably one out of every 8 truck drivers is an actual owner, you have to discount all the lease purchase suckers and the fedex/usps 1099 contractors from the equation. Plus the chinkman freight brokers yanking loads and reposting to suck money away coupled with the looming recession would probably get more than a few to retire/exit being an owner. Alll this being said I was one of the 2% that made it past the foirst year and exited because the wife said her or the corp, now she is dead from her own health mismanagement and when the economy picks back up house is going up for sale and I'll be looking for one of those nice big steel bodies to roll the next 10 in so I can retired by 60.
>>28084760>I drove truck for a year >my wife is dead because of it >I will drive truck again What do u want from me
>>28084013Ah yes Yet another thread of an american "not thinking" about europe.
>>28084766nothing really, just pointing out for OO #'s were including all the lease purchase fleets and mail contractors. There are a lot fewer real owners than claimed. Plus the 98% failure rate for those that try. American trucking is way different than European trucking by sheer virtue of terrain variety and haul distances coupled with the retardation on the roads being worse here.
>>28084769>roads are worse>I manage to drive 3,000 miles a week with no problem Really makes u think
>>28084757maybe because if something hits the metal, it gets dented or cut and needs to be taken to a body panel shop to be fixed

Does it always have to be us vs them? Both types of trucks are suited for their environments.
>>28084412As opposed to flames and bull horns you mean?
>>28084999
>>28085001Wtf is all this shit
>>28085004>lugs more weight for no reason l o l
>>28085017Go ahead and give me ur reasoning as to why and I’ll shoot it down. My 5 axle truck is rated 103,000lbs. 13.2k steer axle 40,000 rears 50,000 trailer axles
>>28085027More truck weight = less cargo weight = less efficiency.
>>28085032I know more than couple people who put 100,000lbs in their dump trailers and send it. I’m still waiting for you to tell me how a scania can carry more than a Peterbilt. Cause the axles and tires are the same. There are states within the USA as big as EU. That have no weight limits. South Dakota and Michigan being notable.
>>28085017>tractor has literally one less axle >trailers are only 40ft and carry the weight while the truck carries nothing.Ya I mean infrastructure in EU is literally medeval dogshit. That’s why u have length laws and can’t go over 50mph.Meanwhile we carry more product at a higher speed. Average is 70mph here. But I go 75-80 all the fucking time. The EU set-up would wobble way too much at that speed. Wouldn’t cut it.
>>28085043You illiterate nigger he said efficency.The less weight you are carrying in the truck, the more you can carry in the trailer. Therefore, can carry heavier cargo or more cargo in one trip and burn less fuel.Just moving the the tractor around between jobs a lighter truck burns less fuel for the same distance.
>>28085082Ya we don’t give a fuck about saving 500lbs on a truck. Sorry. Not the game I want to play. Lmao. Stay in ur 10 inch wide mattress
>>28085101>Anon makes valid point about fuel efficency>me no likeStay in your mutt hole and try to not let other men fuck your wife.
>>28085108No it’s very valid. So go find the spec sheet and post it. I’ll wait here.
Jesus fuck the spic is absolutely malding
>>28085139>thing is thing >because it said so >No empirical data. It’s fine. I think ur right. A 2 axle cabover may infact weigh less than a 3 axle conventional. Doesn’t take away from any of the points i made. Now roll back onto ur bed shelf u Muslim piece of shit lmao

>>28085363Amazing detail. I wonder why other MFG’s don’t use Lap seam rivet in their cab construction? It’s simple and effective. Lasts forever. Maybe it’s just too time consuming for scania and volvo. Instead of training someone to rivet a boutique cab together they’d rather get a robot to stamp out their body parts.
>>28085363This is amazing. Lightweight and rust proof aluminum riveted together the same way aircraft is for maximum strength and reliability. Really makes u wonder about all these other dogshit mfgs out here

Wow. What a thread.
>>28086327>Mental Health Crisis General thread
Whats the point of building quality trucks when the average german truck is 8.5 years old.Its cheaper and easier to just write them off after they made their money.Being an owner operator sucks, because you have to rely on your truck.Its easier to call the boss that the company truck broke down.Now its his problem to get it fixed or get you another one. Drivers often share a truck so it can run almost 24/7.Newer trucks get better gas mileage which saves a lot of money and makes transport cheaper.A truck is just a tool to get a job done. No need to get emotional over them.
The absolute seethe of this brownoid schizo cuck
>>28086355>a truck is just a tool to get a job done No need to get emotional There are thousands of cases of kids and grand kids driving their dads and paps trucks here in the USA.

>>28087966Lmao. Eat the whole log of shit Why does the most stripper basic model of euro truck still weigh more than an elaborate custom double frame every option included Peterbilt 389???? We need a serious answer. Cause my truck is lighter than any truck in Europe. And a lot more comfortable, faster, smoother. If u tried running hills 95mph like I do you would literally fall off the fucking road lmao. Eat shit. die.

>>28088135Why is POS 6x2 with a pusher heavier than this boutique 6x4 with a separate premium sleeper?? Just answer the fucking question and I’ll delete the thread.
Where were u when scania became this fucking cooked???Yeah maybe when u make a giant steel box with enough dead air in the top corners of the cab to give spideman a hard on. It will infact make the whole thing weigh too dam much. Europe is honestly blown the fuck out forever. Ur trucks are dog shit. Ur roads are dog shit. Nobody wants to be you.

This is the most money I’ve ever had on the trailer. 2 different trucks going from ND and SD to NY and CT. They were around $11,500 combined. Loaded them Friday delivered them Monday. Prob the peak of my trucking career. Sold the stepdeck. Though economy is in the gutter. Looking good though as of last couple days.I had to drive them up and everything. It’s crazier than u think going up those ramps when ur by yourself. I remember the daycab was overheight from the stack. I cut it off with a hacksaw.
nobody cares lol
This is me in 2016.My brother took it from across the highway. That was a 2016 Peterbilt 389. 280” wheelbase. And my brand new Fontaine 53 slider stepdeck. Felt really good. Everything was new.Also check the bench press set I had on the trailer. It was a phase.
>>28088541>truck hauling two trucksWeird. NY is actually huge, though, did you go anywhere near the NYC area or the boonies upstate?
Shot of me going around a burning truck on the highway. Wish It was higher res.

The European trucks are basically cars. Which depending on ur preferences can be good or bad.Plastic ages horribly and these these trucks are just tossed to the 3rd world after 4 years anyway. It’s not like USA where you can buy a truck and have ur grandkids drive it one day

Cabovers don't have to be just for europoors.
>>28096071Length laws were lifted in the USA. Cabovers in the 5 axle OTR segment went extinct. There is no free market demand.
>>28096085they could still be useful on tight roads, but we tend to build fuckhuge roads here that can accommodate the longest of wheelbase trucks so they really don't have a purpose. I guess the only remaining cabovers are yard dog trucks.Still, I appreciate the potential to have a larger windshield in a cabover. Your front blind spot in a long nose truck is huge. At least in a cabover, if you're sitting up high enough, you can kind of see what's right in front of you.

>>28099981The fuel efficiency is mostly due in part to Europe’s strict 50mph speed limit. I spend most of my day going 73mph.There is no magic contraption. Fuel into a cylinder moves weight.
>>28084013O/Os are a bunch of flaming homos anyway. Congrats, you’re on the same career level of Ranjeesh and his six friends packing into a sleeper to run their Shitterbuilt until it explodes.

>>28084013Euro trucks get in stupid tight docks and through tight roads, all that plastic gets scuffed and scratched up pretty much always and needs to be replaceble
>>28103000Objectively bad
>>28084013Thank you for this thread, OP. I am enjoying the butthurt, have not been many good b8 threads lately
>>28085043That's cute. Pic related has of GVW 92 metric tons (=202k lbs). The maximum GVW is 100 metric tons atm (220k lbs).
>>28084026The euro wins this one.
>>28103194Eat shit. Anyone here can google image a larger combination of trailers.Also. The truck u posted isn’t actually carrying any of the trailers. As they’re all full trailers hooked by a stinger.>>28103204It winds the plastic gizmo award?
>>28103194Why does a truck this long still have a 12 inch wide sleeper?
>>28103222But less GVW. The number of trailers is completely irrelevant. The HCT trucks in Finland and Sweden are the peak of truck transport techology ATM.>>28103230No need for a sleeper cabin as the driver can go back home every day.
>>28087959so the Scania is better?
>>28103260Posting more trailers isn’t making an argument for you. Any truck is capable of having more trailers attached to it.The truck is still the same. Plastic box >>28103260U mean the driver who will never own the truck. Okay.
>>28103306Not even close.
>>28103260>posts a limited use 1 road 1 destination vehicle that can’t even back up >still is a plastic box POS> see Americans we really do build better trucks!This is the best post I’ve seen in a while.
>>28103309Your weak-ass US truck are totally incapable to haul 200k lbs GVW loads unlike the eurotrucks. Post me a one example if you can :D>>28103327See the text above. Post me an example of a 200k lbs US-truck.
>>28103351Last reply ur getting lmao. Stacking more trailers in a socialist country to run 1 dedicated road doesn’t make the build quality of the tractor any different.American tractors have zero issues pulling road trains in Australia. Thanks for playing.
>>28103374But are the US trucks in AU hauling 200k+ lbs? Everything else is irrevelant in the trucking business where you are paid by the lbs you've hauled.
>>28103389Every fucking day
It's been almost a week and they/them tripfag is still seething about euros
>>28103389The question is. Do you have the nuts to put ur scania up against a Texas Winch truck???? Lmao.
>be a Texas winch truck >show up and load and unload yourself with oilfield equipment This is why Europe relies on Russia for oil. Get wrecked
Funny how some with with google images what’s to square up against an energy independent nation. And this is all private btw. The owners of southern transport were just 2 brothers with a pickup truck 10 years ago
>>28103389>OP makes a thread about the build quality of the cabs.>random anon who doesn’t even drive a truck wants to post a counter argument presenting multiple trailers as proof that euro trucks are built better???Makes no sense. But if u want to escalate I’m fine with it. U have no idea what we do here to maintain our position as number 1 superpower.Now show me ur scania doing a wheelie
Kenworth c500 gold mine truck lmao.

>>28105068>>28105043Samefag You wont do shit
>>28084026What else do you need other than speed, manifold vacuum, oil pressure, and temp? Everything else is unnecessary. You don't need a tach its not a race car
>>28084990An M35 deuce and a half, you goober.
>>28105139Nobody needs anything. But every gauge I have serves a purpose. It also lets me diagnose issues before they become a bigger problem.Fuel filter gauge is paramount. Let’s me see if I have fuel gelling up or fuel filter going bad before it puts me on the shoulder.Amps gauge lets me know if the truck is charging or not. Saved me more than once. By letting me know my alternator failed and another when my s belt came off.Suspension load gauge is everyday. I can determine axle weight in real time when getting loaded and not literally lose a day cause I have to turn around and reload.Tach lets me know how hard I’m hitting Jakes, and how hard I’m pulling hills. Can’t lug up hill which rolls into the pyro gauge. Can’t be burning ur shit up. Let’s u know how close u are to shift points. Imagine going down a hill loaded and you try to downshift but since ur already at the rev limit you can’t rev higher to down shift. Leading to runaway truck and catastrophie. Imagine overspeedinf ur truck downhill and not knowing it and smoking a $70,000 engine.This alone makes me know without a doubt how fucking brain dead u are. Like ur literally a retard.Air filter gauge is nice cause it lets you know when it needs changed Trans temps and axle temps are all good indicators of something needing repair. And for heavy haul yes, you do need to let them rest after a long pull.
>>28105139Holy fucking normie
>>28105149How is it a copy of an M35?>But it looks the same and is green
>>28103389LmaoPost the scania with a 75 ton winch and roller tail. I’ll wait.
Aluminum wheels are gay
>>28105326Better than steel in every way.
>>28105328For letting people know how much you lile to suck dicks, yes.
Southern transport is owned by 2 brothers in their 30s. Broke to millionaires in 5 years.This opportunity and baddassery doesn’t exist anywhere else except USA . I literally talked to them on IG DMs before they went big
>>28103351Tf are u even talking about lmao
Europoor here. I always had a fascination for american truggs, loved playing Big Mutha Truckers back in the day. I just don't understand the purpose of all that space between the end of the cab and the fifth wheel.
>>28105413Luckily. I’ve been on this board talking to dumbasses like u for Atleast 10 years and have the collage already made.
>>28105413
I dont know if this is weird but i think medium duty trucks are cooler than heavy duty. It could just be nostalgia since my gramps was a pulpwooder when i was young and had a truck like pic rel
>>28105451
>>28084236Now do your daily maintenance checks.You know, inspect engine, transmission, steering, brakes....
>>28084013Based fuck Europeans

>>28084013you're a low paid low skill blue collar cuck who is obese. I'm don't give a shit which truck is better
>>28084090This, trucks are a case of horses for courses.
>>28106081I'm sure a better design would be that the sleeper is a separate detached compartment allowing standard engine access. Or machine aid.
>>28084201pretty sure thats just nordic thing actually. they are pretty odd fucks
>>28084746Because plastic is... LE BAD!!!it just is okay!
>>28084201Dumb fuck euro can't even spell Denmark
I don't know much about trucks, but i always wondered why they aren't designed around aerodynamics more.and while sure, something like a logging truck might only go over 40 between jobs, but interstate shipping could probably appreciate a bit smoother cruising. though the trailing edge on trailers is probably the biggest source of drag regardless of the truck
>>2810338980 tonnes?Sounds like a standard sized road train, we have yank tanks pulling that.
>>28108577Because there are diminishing returns on aero. Aero gives like .5mpg on a good day. If ur running into wind.It peaked forever ago. The only way trucks are supposedly getting 8mpg or more now is cause they are 12 liters 6x2 with super singles strategically pulling lighter loads in flat areas. As soon as u get a Volvo vnl loaded and start slogging around in the mountains it’s 5-6mpg like everything else. Everybody fucking lies about mpg. Everybody. If they want to get 8mpg and run a truck that is worth $10k after 3 years and blown the fuck out from lugging at 1100 RPMs than go right ahead. I’ve never met a single owner operator with an aero truck who has a better life than me. Never.
>>28110240>and start slogging around in the mountains it's 5-6mpgthat's a problem of infrastructure. actually civilized countries solve it by designing roads the same way they design train tracks, with gentle grade. if they need to cut through mountain, they cut through mountain. if they need to build in the air, they build in the air. america is built on doing things cheap and they pay for being cheap.
>>28110265Go to bed Sven. I can drive 800 miles a day Indefinitely anywhere in the USA with no issues at all.Imagine thinking the USA doesn’t have tunnels or roads along rivers.If you write me an essay explaining your position in detail I’d be interested. Be sure to include Atleast 100 examples
>>28108496?
>>28110265NA was literally built by God to be #1 economic powerhouse on earth.You can float a barge from the gulf to the Great Lakes.
>>28110265>shitball countries are forced to create extensive tunnel networks in order to barely compete on the worlds stageStill need bailed out everytime a world war comes along.Sounds about right.
