    The 50 tonne of the Scania is the legal limit, not the technical limit.

    That 50 tonne (110,000 lbs) of 'your' truck seems a bit much.

    They did have a nice looking fleet. I am sure he was a pain to work for, but he was the boss!

    Even Americans appreciate a really good truck:



    If I'm not mistaken, that huge engine is also used to drive the truck itself, but with reduced power.
