    well it is now problem i notice very early, people in panic forget about virus, they were in contact with lot of people on streets, some idiots left city (police stop them on highways)

    so i expect in 7-10days very sharp rise of cases


    of course MB trucks are ready to help

    Trucking is soooo much fun.
    A virus playing havoc.
    Cheap steeringwheelholders that undercut the rates.
    And today the cherry on the cake was my fithwheel deciding it would no longer close at 6 30 pm on a sunday evening.
    Well 3 hours later it's working again .
    I allways said you need to be a little crazy to last in this line off work.

    Other conclusion is that the Volvo's off similiar age as the Daf's get roughly the same results.

    which type of fifthwheel

    we usually fit jsk37c, which is strongest standard fifthwheel.
    only, but big disadvantage of it is that handle is fitted with steel wire to lock mechanism which usually breaks when trailer is attached....

    weight optimized, forged fifthwheels with rubberbearing dont work here
    you can chose GF36.20 as an alternative anything else dont work.
     
    daf105paccar Thanks this.
