Trucking in North America vs around the world

Watch video again. This is perfect explanation

 

I don't have much experience with mid-size trucks, but I believe they are 4WD as opposed to AWD with the distinction being that the transfer case does not act as a differential, so full torque to both ends. I suspect there is a low range in the transfer case as well, similar to full size pickups.

 

Wish I hadn't now.

 

Please don't take personal, ment as a joke based on the pictures and videos posted here.

Have I forgotten anything in this definition of a Koleka?

A Koleka is generally an Eastern European driver who can also drive for western European companies, He will wear a sleeveless vest, track suit bottoms, socks and shower sandals(Addis preferred) and a hi vis jacket, and speak broken English, or universal phrases such as commerade, katistrof, big problem, Koleka.
He will drive a white XF DAF which will not have been washed in months. It will have the frilly curtains, at least 10 road toll tags, 2 navis that haven't been updated in many years and he will either ignore the navis or follow them into fields and get stuck, a gas stove and a large supply of potatoes and sausage, and homemade vodka. He will pull a curtain side trailer which will have many years of scratches and damage from hitting buildings and bridges
He will will mainly drive in western Europe which he will do long trips if up to 3 months at a time, his family will forget his name. He will have many problems when it comes to reversing on to loading bays. He will avoid paying for parking and will do his laundry while taking a shower, if there are more than 2 kolekas that know eachother they will get drunk as #### when on their 45 and either pass out and sleep in the ground or kick the #### out of each other.

 

Collega
Problem.
the 2 most used words by EU truckers wearing pj (dirty track pants shaped like they took a dump without removing said pants)

 

Should have added they are Romanian,Bulgarian or Moldovan nationality.

And i regret they give all East EU drivers a bad name.
Take the Polish for example,very little to no issues with them.
My theory is that back in the USSR days there was a big difference in education in the Eastern countries which is showing now.
@98989 might know more about it then me.

 

Engageable. Usually an air shift. Also has a low range as well. Fabco spicer and nemco are common.

 

I'm really slowly being fed up with this whole situation in Europe. It's only going downhill.

As it turns out, europeans can apply for green card in usa (if we can find someone, who will employ us) and that's what I'll try to do (unless I win green card in lottery).

 

It's going more east now, nowadays it's more "pan, ja nie padumał".

Which translate, "boss, I didn't think".
