according to EU law weight transfer can be used until 30kmh (18.6mph)
but in winters no one ask you about this
also excellent trucks for winter
are grain/pallet tippers
like this one you just need to lift body for 10-15cm and you can go everywhere
from 1992-2002 my father hauls salt for roads and here is usually in winter months that trucks have prohibition of driving and in many cases roads are completely closed and they drive this salt even if roads are closed .... on our hills off highway (at that moment there was no highway)
there is few hills of 6.5mille 8-10% i one direction and also same downhill with lot of tight spots 180° sharp turns and things like this
this was 4x2 scania and 3axle drawbar trailer gross weight 102000-122000lbs and he said that he never had any traction problems except some trailer loses( while use retarder)
he says once police requested from him to put chains and he use only one on right side and put it opposite because he dont know how to use it and chain brokes and make some damage,
so he says just to have 30000lbs on drive axle and prepared tipper for use on rear (3side tipper) and no problems
Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

Thanx for the translation. I still enjoy the song and video. Yes I have seen her other video's and she has the same enthusiastic dance moves in all of them. -

Basically with chrome. Also you have to admit (machoness or lack of notwithstanding) that the 70's american cabovers looked alot better than the euro cabovers today. But there were also conventionals available back then which were longer than the cabovers, so that's another way we maintained machoness.
Speaking from man to man, here in the u.s. being macho and manly is the most important thing for us. It's the only reason Mack existed in the first place and the only reason mack has lasted. The reason why our country is in financial trouble is because we, as men, must keep up with other men in terms of machoness; So we go out and buy a 4 door pickup truck because we see other men doing it and we must keep up with them. These pickup trucks cost at least $40,000! If he has a boat, then we must get one also!
It's a different culture.
P.S. For europeons who don't understand what the term "mofo" means, it means a stupid, ignorant, loser type. Almost as bad as hitler. -

Because America want to be the macho men of the world it's close to bankrupt.
Powell-Peralta and danny_379 Thank this. -
The only reason why I hate them is there aren't as many repair shops that'll service foreign trucks. If you're lucky enough to find one near by, you might be there a week waiting for a part.
I stick with Freightliners mainly due to the fact that nearly every major city has a Freightliner dealer. I personally prefer to drive Volvo's over Freightliners, but I don't like the idea of being down for repairs for a week or more. -
