    Here's that guy again who is not a truck driver, and yet he's selling trucks.

    Listen to what he says in this clip, horrible:



    And after listening to the next clip, @Cat sdp will not sleep for days:



    In this last clip, it becomes pure blaspheme, just listen to what he says about chrome stacks:

    Yes, just compare these two tippers:

    Ginaf X 3335 S-small.jpg

    Dutch GINAF 6 x 6 tipper, GVW 76,000 lbs

    I noticed that the maximum length of a straight truck is about the same in the US and here, 40 feet or 12 metre.

    Nice clip, nice channel as well. Thanks for posting.

    That dashboard display instead of analogue instruments will become standard in European trucks.

    In The Netherlands..

    In other countries it is less than that, for example Belgium or Germany the same truck is allowed a GVW of 57320 lbs, 26000 kg
