    Hi ya, mate.
    Your question, "how it works over here", can refer to anything. Can you be more specific?

    And, welcome aboard!

    Good to have a Euro here. ;)

    I’m jealous of the trucks you have over there - ran across some of the MAN and Scania tractors I when I was traveling abroad. Pretty sharp rigs.
     
    Jeroen Thanks this.

    ... i have been Reading the US versus EU Trucks thread.
    Guess your One of the few overthere who likes our rig's
    We have a few M.A.N Trucks and Two scania's.
    Drove then both,die Scania...i Would Change my Daf vor One.
    The M.A.N, Not Bad,Good Engine,Cab is Not weloverthought....
    Nice having die extra Window behind die Seat,but thats also directley over the bunk...therefor die Curtain are just a Bit to short.
    Small Error,but ####ing when you have to Sleep at daytime
     
    Dan.S Thanks this.

    Ah, well. Cannot expect people to have an informed opinion when so few of them have been around European trucks. :)
