    I've seen photos without the covers on it. Just like every other Mercedes car, over priced and ugly as all hell.

    KVB stated that the Netherlands wasn't enforcing the European rules. This is incorrect, the rules were not clear on this matter. That is why the Belgian Council of State and a Dutch trade Union asked the European Court of Justice to for a ruling, and that came on 20 December 2017. Furthermore there are proposals to change certain aspects of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006, and that includes a proposal to make the article where the 45 hour weekly rest period is regulated very explicit.

    That's the top tax brackets. The average Federal Income tax rate is usually somewhere in the 10=15% range. Then state or local tax on top of that.

    This morning in the news: Dutch inspectors are searching parking areas for truckers who are spending their 45 hour rest period in their cab. They will inform them that it is illegal now (after the court ruling), and in future they can expect a €1500 fine if they are caught.

    i have noticed that most of USA snowplow trucks have plow moved a lot from bumper, i wonder what is reason, here we try to bring it as close as possible, so it makes less force to truck in all ways.

    this snow blower weights 4400 lbs ( max 3mt)

    truck is 3way tipper equipped with removable body system, so this saltspreader is removable, truck have hydrostat drive 4x4+tag axle... you can mount snowblowest with capacity of 1800-2100 tonnes/hour
