Hello everybody, I have a problem. There are goods of class 9 (UN no. 3082) which are only dangerous in road transport (ADR) or ONLY in sea transport (IMDG). As a result, in sea container transport vehicles and containers are marked contradictoryly. This is then a transport according to sub-section 1.1.4.2.1 of the ADR For goods which are ADR but not IMDG, the situation is clear: – Tank container is NOT labeled – on the vehicle is front and rear respectively a neutral warning panel -written instructions (accident notes) are given -a DGD (Dangerous Goods Declaration) is not required For goods that are not ADR, but IMDG, FAST is all clear: -tank container is labeled -written instructions are NOT required -a DGD is required Only what about the warning panels on the vehicle? Some companies say they have to be opened (German Infineum in Cologne), others say no (among others Bayer Leverkusen) and the Marl chemical park). I claim that I can allow the plates, because it is not an ADR. I don’t even need an ADR certificate for such products and the vehicle also no ADR equipment. Who knows exactly??? Greeting Christian

Hello and good evening, I sometimes ask myself (as a car driver!) why the trucks are often “undermotorized”. Is this all just a cost question or play in there other things? On the smallest slope (so not the burner or something) some trucks drive (whether old or new) very slowly. Mostly around 50km/h to 60km/h. And most of them pull a black soot cloud afterwards. It’s kind of sad. I always think that even a truck should have enough power around a SMALL slope ohn It is clear to me that you can’t drive up the burner with 80, because even a car has to switch off if necessary. How much do you like it, as a brummie driver? Thank you

Sometimes I can only touch my head. In my driving school I was taught if in a narrow spot truck and KOM should meet iener stop or at least become significantly slower, so that the other place has and it does not come to mirror rangleien. Furthermore I was told that in the cities the buses opposite LKw ́s front drive would have because they carry “living goods”. But from this trip I am already longer down. Nevertheless, I ask myself what some truck drivers for a with us inner city is currently built a lot – of course there are holidays. This is how much is regulated by separate traffic lights. I drove this morning at such a traffic light then. If I have passengers in it I have to drive a little slower over humpbacks and construction areas because of the passenger comfort. so that on the other side meanwhile also became green (had a lotleikt still 50 of 250 meters in front of me). Finally from there came a truck, I ok, still slower and still a little pulled to the right (must say, ride only half year bus) as far as it went (back tyres already as well as on the rubber feet of the construction site signs) the truck always nice stuff and pulls just before me a little more over to my side, had no choice and had to go even further – end of the song: 1 broken construction site sign and one of my side windows is broken, the truck driver of course continued (but gave enough witnesses so that the knowledge a little of the truck ́s is known) But honestly people why didn ́t he wait just a short while for me to get out of the construction site?

I would like to make C+CE because I would need this from time to time to help with acquaintances on the farm and my employer would also be happy if he could use me to tow off from time to time!My problem is,I only see 20% with glasses in one eye, on the good eye without glasses just so 100% with glasses 140%,so I don’t get a visual test certificate because of the bad eye in D!Does that look like this in the whole EU or is there reason to hope?

Hello together, hope you can answer a few questions!? What are the approximate costs for a truck bill? How long does it take to acquire it? Are there restrictions for me as a diabetic? Then I heard that if you want to become a professional driver this is no longer as easy as from 2007 since the truck bill somehow becomes an education???? Is there perhaps a www. page where everything is explained? Also regarding between multiple-member train, semi-trailer and and and………. . Thank you so much the-always-laughs

Tyres remain truck-pain-cause number 1 27.10.06 – Problems with the tires, but also with motor and electrics are the biggest threats to freight traffic on the road. Around two thirds of all truck-pains are on account of these three components. This is the result of the current breakdown statistics of the ADAC TruckService, which evaluated 19 500 breakdowns over 18 months throughout Europe. Truck-pain-cause number one are still tire damage (27.1 percent), closely followed by M otorpannen (25.6 percent) and problems with electrics (16.9 percent). While the share of tyre and motor chips almost confirms the result of the previous half-year, there was a significant decline in electric chips. In the second half of 2005, electrical problems had caused 20.7 percent of the operations of mechanics. “The reason for this decline is likely to be in addition to the weather effects in the increased quality efforts of vehicle manufacturers. ADAC TruckService’s managing director, Werner Renz, balances out. The breakdowns in Germany are once again concentrated on the busy routes of the land countries, the agglomerations and near the border. “The breakdown rates are also particularly high, where there is a great deal of driving,” explains Renz. Most of the emergency calls came from Bavaria (19.7%), followed by North Rhine-Westphalia (17.1%) and Lower Saxony (14.2%). The first half of 2006 also evaluates the breakdown calls of its customers from other European countries. Here, with France (28.8 percent), Austria (13.7 percent) and Great Britain (nine percent) clearly outweigh the deployments of the Western European network partners, which the ADAC TruckService sends from its service center into the field. A protection letter from the ADAC exempts transporters for 165 euros (Germany-wide) or 225 euros (full access to 40 000 service workshops in Eu ropa) for one year from all travel, work and handling costs in case of breakdowns. Material costs are calculated according to expenditure. The protection letter can be obtained from each transporter, a membership is not required. Interested parties are advised by the ADAC TruckService on the phone number 0180 5 24 15 00.

the adac tested the new EU Directive on underrun protection and came to a frightening result – see world.de. what do you think about it, must be urgently improved here or do you not see any need for regulation for something like this?

Dear trucker, I notice more and more that the topic of “overtaking on federal or state roads” is almost no more. While the turn signal was set on the left to indicate a free distance to the subsequent traffic or – as it is also prescribed in the StVO – was stopped once a larger queue had formed, I have to find on my daily way to work (about 35 km Bundesstrasse) that these friendlinesss no longer exist On the contrary, the zippering process “parks” on both lanes in order not to let a car pass itself (thanks to the friends of DHL and Mosolf who especially like to do this), is driven to the left, if someone starts to overtake (here Betz seems to be leading) in no case at all but is kept to the right briefly to ensure traffic flow again. My understanding of this is close to zero, especially since I belong to those who like to be on the AB also the foot of the G As I said, let live and let live. So, what’s the point?

Hello truck driver! On my last business trip to Stuttgart, about 650 km on the A8, which I managed at night, I noticed with short pee breaks that all park and rest places are almost crowded with trucks. Partially, the saddle trains were already in the area of the entrances and exits of the parking lots next to the highway. If you have here at night with the car almost no place to rest and relax, I ask myself like so many overtired truck drivers there at all to a restp There are definitely too few parking spaces available compared to the traffic. Will the motorway also leave here to find a standing place or what do you do if everything is hopelessly crowded? I would also be interested in how to get to sleep with the noise caused by the enormous traffic? A hard job has to be this when you get a parking ticket for false parking by the police. How have you, as a long-distance driver, even grown up to the stresses that occur in this profession today?

Hello, I’m looking for a trucker who wants to work only 6 months a year. I usually only work three to four months at a time and then always move to the Caribbean for six to eight weeks. As this has worked so far, I would like to work three months at a time in the future, and then fly back to the Caribbean for three months. Of course, this only works if you have a net wage of / to at least 2500 euros and otherwise no further obligations such as Family etc. On my request with a forwarding company in Switzerland, she is happy to split a truck for two drivers, if this is in use twelve months a year.
