Think you are a Super trucker?

NO..only the daily pay what you get for driving abroad..60$..same you can get driving to west or south instead with much less hazzle.
Because of the corrupt Custom officials on the Russian side of our border the queues can be up to 50km´s and last for days so the Answer is No.
Hardly any Finns are driving to Russia anymore so Russians come over here, at least as long as we don´t start to have road tolls.
Actually many Russians use US-trucks so they can´t either take max lengths or loads so they aren´t that much of a threat yet to our business.
The main reason for taking the ferry is price, the Ferry price for a truck is cheaper than a Trucks fuel consumption plus drivers pay (two days) round the North, also the driver gets the daily rest in the Ferry so it saves time too.
Rest Assured there´s roads plenty up north but the eastern Swedish coast is quite "fun" if you like much elevation changes and slippery conditions...

 

And some drivers have problems with right turns with just a single back. Can you imagine the four-wheelers complaining about us taking this around a crowded intersection?

 

There would be a few brown, smelly seats.

 

dang that is umpresseve

 

With the price of gas, where is the armored escort?

 

Mad Max..............!

 

See, thats why they don't have these road trains over here, 'cause some yahoo would demand that the driver back it up to the dock......and there would be some driver that would try it.......

I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!! OI!!!!
