    I think we should make a distinction between U.S. trucks , and Australian trucks made of American parts..... this is not same

    as I am aware, Scania offers from May 2008 cooling for extreme

    climatic conditions

    edit : september 2007

    11-blade fan optional for V8 vehicles operating in very hot climate.

    There's also a cooling pack for 200ton heavy haulers but that's propably very expensive.

    Problem is, I don' see single Owner Operator from EuroOParadise here. Thats probably why we talk about p.u.s.s.i.e.s

    Are you blind? Or maybe they want to make money and stay in Europe(especially at the moment). A friend of mine tried to start there as an owner operator a while ago but they were too scared about him and didn't give a permit.

    What? Do we have European O/O in this discussion, or just drivers - my question is

    when i was hauling iron i drove at 60t many times up and down the mountains and i never had problem, truck hauling concrete and gravel in italy are legally allowed 56t and they come and go from quarryes up in the mountains mostly off road:
    [​IMG]

    technology gives us a lot of advantages, i use to come down the mountains at 60-65kmh when i had only the jake brake, now with the intarder i come down at 95kmh fully loaded whitout touching the brakes once.
    Of course those that drive at over 120kmh do so when going flat or uphill, but slow down coming down the slopes
