Hello to all the semi-trailers out there. I am 14 years old and think about becoming a semi-trailer driver. I’ve already read a little googlet and different opinions. Can you give me an insight into the life of a brummick driver? So – what do you mean? – is the profession stressful or rather not? -is it really just sitting in the truck and showering through the area? -How expensive is driving licence and what do I need? -What does the most money bring? (I would have been abroad and so everything that is exciting and less exciting in the profession… Thank you!

Hello first of all Have a technical question about a problem that occurred in my company. And that is that the vehicle is a TGA with Comfort Shift, 4 gear servo shift transmission. The defect was first only noticeable by a “jumping out” of the gears in the rear gear group, i.e. 5-8. At first only sporadically, it became worse the next day. The gears 5-8 could almost not be switched at all, 1-4 worked perfectly. The breakdown came soon after. N A few meters of drive and after reaching the 5th gear, the vehicle automatically disconnected the connection to the transmission. In the display it showed illogical gear indicators – from the 7th to the return gear. The system coupled automatically again, which became noticeable with an extreme switching error (very violent noise). Since then it is almost impossible to drive in the rear gear group. The gears can only be properly inserted with good luck. The truck is in use in urban traffic. – only for information. Error codes were read out with MAN-Cats II – no results were performed actuator diagnostics of all solenoid valves – all functional Comfort Shift operation also Does anyone know a solution to this problem ?

Hello people I work in a freight forwarding company with 40 tonns (so it is also in the registration), now stickers with „maximum 25.000kg payload” were installed everywhere, the vehicles weigh fully fuelled but maximum 14.300 kg (so I can charge 25.700kg). This is mainly for the shippers… Now I had loaded: gross: 39.800 kg Empty: 13.600 kg Net: 26.200 kg Now I was stopped by the BAG and they said: overload 1.2 ton… Because the sticker is binding, no matter what in And if so, what law does that say? Greetings of a perplexed Walter

I would be very interested in what is more popular with the drivers, the circuit or even better automatic.Also especially the older generation, or at least the truck drivers who have already driven a few hundred thousand. With some well-known drivers, I was told that the automatic is a lot less and that it can be driven more firmly.The other in turn means that it becomes boring for the long time, and he prefers to switch and can move his left foot or leg more often.

Hi, everybody, I have the more common problem that my driver card is only recognized once in a while. I found out as soon as I bend it a little bit, so that the chip is pressed outwards, then the card is recognized again. I will probably have to send it to the KBA, let’s see exactly what’s in trouble. For the time when the card is gone I get a certificate of the city or driver’s license, which I can do without driving, but I always have to get all the and that’s exactly where we come to the actual question. What exactly do I have to do? Can someone explain the steps of the device to me? and then this bright red display, which the driver card is not inserted, you get rid of it? that’s also quite conspicuously especially in the dark. Then that sees through the disc immediately everyone who is not inserted a card. If I want to make an expression about driver 1, for example, then that’s not possible, why? I have to admit, I only know the reason why. nd functions of the device, enter map, select country ok press go. I’ve never really sunk into the menu because I’m afraid of being able to adjust something or something like that. Oh, well, it’s a tachograph from VDO

Hello, we are a motorsport team and would like to buy a new service truck. It is to be a 4.49 tonner which should pull our 10500 kg trailer. Euro 5 is mandatory. We know that we need a digital tachograph, these vehicles are usually already equipped like this. Over 7.5 t GzG we would have to use it too and as far as I have found out also the steering and break times. So far this is not a problem. Trailers and vehicle are privately registered. The driver is not a professional driver and will use your driver card exclusively for this purpose, the transport of our racing vehicle. Now we need a business card. We are not a company. In the year we drive max. on 4-5 weekends, the rest is the vehicle. In winter it is sunk over the season mark, battery jammed and wintered. The company is supposed to be every 28 days e read out the driver cards, but we are not a company and do not drive for months. The company has to read out the recording equipment and pick up data etc. We are not a company !!!! We have to keep steering and break times, that is OK for safety reasons. But we are in no competition with other companies, driving the truck is also not our work. How should we keep working hours ? Maybe someone can inform me what we have to do about not our And one more question. On the driver card the activities are stored at least 28 days, in the recording device at least 365 days. In our activities this would mean that the data will only be overwritten after approx. 25 years. How long retroactively can one actually be charged for an offense that is detected during the reading. Is the BAG responsible at all? If someone has the insight, I am grateful for all the information. CHA

Moin! I have a MB 814 LK Bj. 92 without connections for a trailer brake. I would like to install a compressed air coupling for the connection of e.g. a compressed air screwdriver or an exhaust gun. As far as I know, I have to go there to the 4th circle. But where? From the four-circuit protection valve a line goes for each circle to one of the two air boilers. So each two circles share a boiler, right? Can I now simply reach the line between the four-circuit protection valve and the K There are always two circles hanging over the boiler, if I understand that correctly. But I really don’t understand all this. I hope for clever explanations! Thank you!!

Hello people I re-registered because I have a question about my oldi. This time it is about the antish-lupping system also called ASR. There is a switch in the amaturating board, which when you turn it off. As far as my knowledge is concerned. However, this does not work with me. Never was a problem since I drive the vehicle only in the summer (base camper). Only now my TÜV has got a new brake test bench that you can no longer switch off and block. Means, not quite so funny, that we had to drag the vehicle down there this time, because the ASR system constantly strangles the engine while trying to run down. So far we could always “swivel” the vehicle down. Didn’t mean this time. TÜV understandably means that you actually have to switch off the ASR. To the question, is this switch actually working? Does it switch off the whole box or only partial functions? So, how does the switch work? ? In my case it happens when working garnix. Before someone makes the great suggestion that you could have pulled the fuses… .. Yes, I tried that, but the stupid part continues to do its stupid work. I don’t understand either. NO it’s nothing. Now the “old” experts are asked who still know the part.

Hello dear people I am looking for who has already had experience with rusted frames of semi-trailers. My semi-trailer has now no longer got a TÜV, because various rust spots on the frame (only the outside frame, but once completely around and probably also so that the frame should be completely replaced) have occurred. Now I think about how I proceed – has someone already had experiences in this regard, also with regard to the price? dates to this: 1987 year of construction, 9, 60 m long, 2.45 m wide. Thank you for your answers!

Hello… I’m realtively new here. So I hope that you can write a topic here!!! Meaning that I’m right here in this forum and I shouldn’t have put it in somewhere else… Syr is a Newbee =) So I’ve been hopping over the big pond in about 2-3 years to Canada to work there as a truck driver… I’ve been going through this step intensively of course… I’ve already collected a lot of information to get there not in avoidable places. My question to you is: Has anyone already gained experience over there or has it to dare before the step??? It would be great if you could call here some Canadian companies or recommend the German drivers looking for!!! For everyone who wants to come over shortly and at Seafood Express want to call it off I would strongly advise…. Here I post a report like Germans (German) there to be cut over the ear at the so-called company Seafood Express!!!! Link is but it should be easy to understand in English!!!http://www.cbc.ca/…/pe-german-immigrants.html?… So that’s what the company is doing there with foreign drivers.. =( So if you want to exchange information I would be very happy about any kind of information (Kanda,LKw, companies like and when over)!!! So hope don’t blow up any framework here =) m.f.g Silver
