They must have been on hourly pay taking that long to get to Milan. We left Portsmouth Tuesday night, off the boat down to the BP nr Geneva where there used be proper routier in the car park of there about then up early and off to Milan to clear customs Thursday morning. Tip Pm and reload Friday and home for Monday. Week in week out.
the driver who said how to confuse the irishman got it wrong when he said three shovells and take his pick went down like a wet fart lol, what a wally he made of himself
Trucking International did a feature on this as well as the video, according to that apparently Sealink dropped a ramp on the visor and it fell off on the French autoroute…
There death on the road! They think they own the roads & there privileged, it's there backward upbringing, like most of these' deserted desert towns ' lack of civilization & culture.
Anyone have " On Your BIke" it come out same time as this video via Truck & Driver Magazine story following an owner driver, aslo a very good documentary
The narrator needs to do some research at 17:50 ..... two of the lorries are 330 horsepower, and the other is a 360, not 400 horsepower - and it was mentioned earlier by the driver that his load was only 6 tonne, so nothing like 38 tonne ..... maybe just about 20 tonne gross weight
My grandad was a International trucker. He was my absolute hero when I was little. Rip grandad 🙏🏻❤️
