Differences between American and European trucks

How good is the shield I see on Cabines? I undersrand that battery boxes, tires, air tanks, fuel tanks are not protected and this shield is to keep driver alive.

One shot to wet air tank of truck... and... you understand.

I know that there are good shooters who can stop Turbine powered tank, like T90 ore Abrams with one shot to turbine blades with 7.62 mm bullet....

another reason to have short wheelbase actually best solution for that would be truck with drawbar trailer like that blue on 0:57

 

looks nice...

 

yeah Serbs area always innovative in those stuff they are probably avoid toll/scales or maybe reduce length of travel
this is near town Novi Sad

i had original version on mobile phone but i deleted it and there is no anymore it on youtube it was about 3.5minutes long

 

Our driver do funni and crazy things too.

There were short 20' container haulers semitrailers in USSR, and they are still in use, but this kind of trailers are short, about 30' long.

This summer I saw crazy Freinghliner driver in Russia. He towed this short trailer with 20' see container and seems to me weight of container was about 30 t., and he tried to do THE SHARP U-TURN. How funny to see all eight trailer tires crancking out from rims! It is not all! he had 10 t rated jack!

 

what is jack?

 

Small one, for mid size truck. He could jack wheel up w/o container, but not the laden one.



All wheels off with one jack.... It is a bad street.... LOL

 

if i correct understand you he had 20ft container of about 30ton and 10ton truck without wheels loaded on top of container?

 

I tried to find a picture of 20' container chassis....


IT IS SHORT! Try to imagine what happens if you do the sharp U-turn with 20 ton in container!

He towed it with old good Freightliner....
