    Yes,correct.You don't have your own numbers....................illegal.

    Pay................depends on your nationality.(this is for compagny drivers)
    % or mileage is illegal only hourly allowed unless you are a German or East European.Then all bets are off.
    "Slave labour" is the word that comes to mind in regard to German/Eastern drivers.

    That's true, just as Benito Mussolini and Silvio Berlusconi were entertaining. But think of what it would do to the reputation of the US? George W. was regarded as a moron, and now a narcissistic clown as president? I liked and respected John McCain, even if I didn't agree with him. And then they gave him that bimbo as running mate. She was so terrible that at times it was impossible to distinguish between her and the woman that was parodying her.

    open new thread and ask this way: what kind of truck would you buy an American owner operator or just simply do research in this forum to see what kind of trucks o/o wants to buy. do research in this forum to see what are talking about mx13, dd15,..

    I told you before that I read a whole thread about a trucker who had big difficulties with his MX-13. After reading only a few of his contributions it became clear to me he had an electrical problem. Later on in the thread that was confirmed, but not after he had paid a fortune for parts he most likely didn't need. Perhaps the quality the wiring of the US trucks is not as good as on EU trucks? I have experience with US products, and quite often the desire to save money is noticeable.

    And explain to me how the MX-13 can be bad if DAF is the #1 tractor seller in Europe. Even the Germans are buying many DAF's, and they also have their national brands like Mercedes and MAN.

    MX13 is good engine, really!

    But not the best.

    Previouse DAF XF95 engine (UPEC) is good too, very simple fuel injection, easy to work on, reliable MS6 ECU
