  • Self-made suitcase on platform

    Moin Moin! I would like to use the whip of a small truck (APE TM from Piaggio) to construct a weatherproof case structure and look now KNOW-HOW. The box, which is intended to serve as a substructure for the construction, has the dimensions of approx. 2×1,5m. The box should reach a height of approx. 1.60 – 1.70m (from the platform). I did not decide for an original box from Piaggio, since I need on both longitudinal sides (2m), as large as possible entrances to the interior (via flaps or also roller doors, similar to those of fire engines). The case should, according to my idea, be based on a steel pipe construction, which is then “covered” (no wood, but in aluminum mounted composite plates). If it should be the roller blind variant, come among other things still large awnings, then of course (2 x 2 m is only relatively large *G*) Despite the apparent simplicity of the construction, it is already clear to me that there will be a whole lot of things to be done. In particular the case has to be difficult weather.

  • Do administrative tasks belong to the professional image of truck drivers?

    Hi @ all, I would be interested to know if the writing of freight letters, CMR, pallet tickets etc. is part of the activity of a truck driver or is this a voluntary performance that we do there. Actually, we are hired to drive plus related activities such as load securing, refueling, departure controls etc. and not as a dispatcher or secretary. I ask against the background that we have salary cuts and I wonder why I should continue to work with the same intensity as before. Could that refuse these activities, take a warning after yourself? I want to avoid this as I consider legal step against the company, but what is another topic. Thank you for reasonable answers.

  • Accident with tractor

    Good day, I had to tell you about the accident. At the beginning of this week I drove with my truck on the highway. Before me there was a saddle train. Time to accident: I didn’t notice anything about 12km long. The driver drove without sloppy or small bursts quite normally with his saddle before with it, no matter whether in a construction site area or so. Accident: At this point began a baton guide wall for several hundred meters. Suddenly the saddle broke out and popped into the wall and slid several hundred meters further to stand. The traffic behind us, fortunately even further away, recognized the situation and I could therefore leave my truck and run over. The driver stood about 10min under shock. I could not wake him up from the state of the shock and I did not call the car driver as soon as the accident started.

  • Question on speed limiters

    Hello! As far as I know, all current trucks have one of the chips in them, which is supposed to limit the speed to approx. 80 km/h. Only reality is, if I drive with my car speed 100 km/h, then I am practically exactly in the truck column. Of course, the speedometer always shows a little too much (according to the manufacturer approx. 3% tolerance). But even if you take off generously 10 km/h tolerance, no truck should stick to its own rear at Tempo 100. I guess that this chips are relatively generously designed, so that the trucks run realistically more 95 km/h than 80 km/h. Drive so far only on airfields older trucks, which do not have such chips yet and run loosely 120 Can you not make the trick to buy newer trucks over Belgium, where they can also drive faster? Or are all EU trucks braked with this chip? Would be interesting to know….

  • Return to service after 7 years

    Hello forum I have a bus – Mercedes O303 – which has been parked for 7 years. Now it should be sold soon, because I cannot use the vehicle for lack of time and it makes no sense to leave it standing around. Now I should know what to do to bring the vehicle back to life without causing gross damage. The engine has not been preserved. I understand that all filters and oils have to be re-cleaned. What about the diesel? The vehicle has been fully fuelled before it was turned off to avoid rust in the tank. Somewhere I have read that the connections are decomposed and the diesel can no longer be used after a time. Are there any other preparatory work before the first start? the engine is an OM402 V8 suction engine. Thanks for your information and constructive contributions
