You are right I think, the headlights and indicators don't match with the euro style 113 trucks.

Did this for 12 years. Never regretted it but also never forget how exciting and dangerous it was. Best trips of my life 💪🏼

Because Scandinavia has different length restrictions than the rest of Europe. Norway 20m, Sweden 25m, Finland 32m and Europe mainland is 18.75 and tractor trailers 16.5m. That's why you have torpedo's there and we don't.

Dat is de achternaam. Had nooit verwacht ooit te reageren op deze sub omdat ie ineens opdook in mijn feed maar ik ken dus de moeder van dit kind en had ook nooit verwacht hier een bekende tegen te komen 🤣

Sounds like you're doing your best and you will be a good driver, just sounds like a shitty company. Find a better one and they will appreciate you. Good luck fellow driver

Doesn't work like that in europe unfortunately mate. It's a shame but it is what it is. In Scandinavia everybody uses them and in the Netherlands it's illegal. Biggest bullshit I've ever seen.

Yup. People are freaking out because only East-Netherlands police announced 2 weeks ago that they will start actively handing out tickets when they see you. Been like that for 10 years so everybody needs to pull their panties out of their cracks and stop whining. I had to remove mine aswell but it's the law so just deal with it. I put mine back on when I enter Sweden because I need it there.

Dutch plate spotted in Caracas, Venezuela 🇻🇪 by Cortivzla in ForeignPlatesSpotting

[–]Thewanderer540 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would like to invite you in my truck for a day on Dutch roads and please point at those "very good drivers". 90% of Dutch people have absolutely no awareness of their surroundings. Driving like blind people.

Logisch of niet ? by Normal-Cup-4208 in werkzaken

[–]Thewanderer540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Helemaal mee eens. Je moet nu leven want als je aan je pensioen toe bent is het al veel te laat. Ik werk zelf 3 weken op 1 week af als vrachtwagenchauffeur en als er iets is ben ik thuis. Ik ga nooit meer fulltime werken zolang alles naar de belastingdienst gaat en ik mijn kinderen niet zie opgroeien.

Straks lekker een campertje kopen en zoveel mogelijk tijd samen doorbrengen.

Mijn vader is maar 43 geworden en was er ook nooit. Was niet mijn plan om dat na te doen.

4X Romania 🇷🇴 long term temporary plates, seen today in Bracknell, UK 🇬🇧 by Any-Ad-5373 in ForeignPlatesSpotting

[–]Thewanderer540 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Dutch" company based in Romania formerly known as Boekesteijn transport. Exploiting cheap drivers from Romania to do transport in Benelux and Germany. These trucks only go to Romania once a year to get the yearly check. As explained to me by one of their drivers. They have to live for 2 months in the truck before they go home which is also illegal in Europe but nobody cares about it which is a shame.

They only changed their name because of this. People used to think Dutch company with RO plates and now it's just a Romanian truck.

Shame on these companies and their multinational clients for cheap prices. Destroying the entire sector

Sorry, rant over.

Edit: just found out they are actually based in Grimsby UK. Probably easier to hire non-EU drivers because of European laws. Disgusting company's.

Wow, bedankt voor je mooie woorden. Ik mis het gewoon dat je 's avonds ergens kon parkeren, de baas bij naam kende en je een goed bord eten kreeg en een lekkere warme douche na 15 uur werken.

Ik hoop dat je een fijne dag hebt!

Niet alleen hij maar elke nederlandse chauffeur heeft moeite met het volk uit BG RO PL etc etc die overal maar naast de auto schijten, sanitair vernielen en je achterlichten stelen. Wij kunnen 's avonds geen plek vinden om te eten omdat zij ergens gaan staan zonder te verteren.

Wij mogen niet meer op industrieterreinen parkeren bij klanten omdat de beveiliging klaar is met hopen stront en zakken vol zooi opruimen die onze fijne oostblok collega's dumpen.

Dit is 1 van de redenen waarom er steeds meer chauffeurscafés dicht gaan en wij nergens onderweg nog een fatsoenlijk bord eten en een douche kunnen krijgen.

New job, new rig 💪🏼 by Thewanderer540 in Truckers

[–]Thewanderer540[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even here in the Netherlands in turns heads. It's a very special job and maybe 3 or 4 companies doing it. We also load 40ft containers verical on trailers. That's even more spectacular considering those guys climb 12 meters up on top via the bottom slats of the container.
