Trucking in North America vs around the world

I don’t have a answer for that question. It just worked out that way.....maybe someday I’ll start collecting again.

 

Northern Greece

 

legally not, you want low axle weights for cheaper permits. but on short distance they will do it.
you need at least 8 pendel axles to do that legally.

 

PACCAR Global Sales built this 2021 Kenworth C500 6x4 Heavy Haul tractor for a Kenworth customer in Oman. Customers in the Middle East oilfields rely on the C500 to move heavy loads in the desert, and PACCAR Global Sales helps spec exactly what they need to get the job done. This C500 combines a 500hp Cummins X15 engine with an Allison 7-speed automatic transmission, Spicer 4-speed auxiliary transmission, and Meritor planetary rear axles to achieve a total gear reduction of 192:1!

found photos of my fav truck ever

 

Right After the war...?

 

If there was a old skool paintscheme that typifed Germany ,this is it.
Red chassis,dark blue cab with a silver line in it.

 

yes, right after.
It was hauling chickens, you will see there is no left part of trap. I can still remember conversion if they are going to remove complet trap orvonly left side

 

it was 1987 ng1635 with wide gr cab, eps and asr, retarder, ac, right power window and mirror, webasto, had even vacuum cleaner since it was always in dust.
body was kumlin 3way grain tipper, 6.1m, rear tailboard could be opened in 4ways.
strange thing is that there was no air intake behind the cab, i have never seen it on large cab, obviously this was way to save space.

trailer was 1985 kumlin, 3way grain tipper, 9.3m long, pallet box underneath is cool feature.
trailer had retrackable hydralic drawbar coupling, when truck is straight it was only 36cm (14inch) distance between truck and trailer, while cornering it would extend by like 3ft. together 38 pallets.

cant remember right about its empty weight, but it was heavy with all this stuff.

this stripes were not original, they are from SK, NG had like this




originally probably it had like this, this is similar truck from same company (but with air intake)
