    we need now m+s tires if you want to go in germany and austria since lot of operators mainly work only with those markets lot of trucks now get "winter tires"

    i have never seen movable 5th wheel on 4x2 truck

    even most of 6x2/6x4 dont have it only minority of 3axle trucks have it

    Explain to me then why those Gerteka trucks don't have it. Looks like it's quite a big company when I looked them up. Trucks looks to be supplied by the company as well

    Well it's good someone gets it. Only wish all companies would understand it.
    I know it's reported that 8/10 truck accidents in Norway (Sweden and Finland is so bad to say where the truck is from) are caused by east Europeans in the winter. And there are a lot of them. So you may understand the discussion about ban and those stuff. Accidents happen but when families have to fear for there life every time they meet a est, pol, ltv, rus and so on it's gone to far.

    All in all I just had so fun when a truck only gets 50m from the yard before they get stuck :D

    i heard that 90% off all accidents in norway are caused by 2axle trucks

    is it problem because it is 2axle

    or since we from outside of scandinavia all use 2axle maybe is reason that drivers are not enough experienced on snow or reason is because of summer tires or wrong chains

    I've seen these in holland in even 10*8 configuration and even with rear drive axle steering, how much weight are these allowed on Dutch roads? What engines do ginaf use, daf? And do terberg use Volvo?
