  • IVECO is an Italian brand I have no idea why I said it was Japanese, must've got my wires crossed between Isuzu and Iveco. Apologies to the Italians.
    Thanks for watching. This video is a bit different than some of my past ones, one of my main sources for this video was a sociological study (2nd link in sources below) into the lives of Brazilian truck drivers, hence the emphasis on the personal issues many drivers face. The intention of this video isn't to offend, simply to inform and if you take issue with any of the statements presented in the video, feel free to correct me as I'm sure this video isn't 100% accurate.
    Sorry about the visual glitches during the video, my computer is on its last legs. Also this video broke all the bones in my body during the editing process. Not even sure how it happened. I'm lying on the floor typing this like when Peter Griffin (of family guy fame, of course) also lost his bones and became more or less a puddle with conscious thought. Except I lack the conscious thought.

    I'm a Brazilian trucker, not even a year on the job and still on a straight box truck going everywhere in Brazil, and I'm impressed to see such a video based on this remote topic on Brazil. I knew you already did European, American, Australian and Indian one but its still nice to see this. Some points for the video too:
    3:51 - Arquear is to "arch" the truck, it's actually illegal in Brazil but people usually just undo the arching when police stops them and do it again after their impounded truck is given back.
    4:09 - Technically there's no limit for trailers in Brazil, but there is measurements limits, a roadtrain cannot surpass 30m total lenght and the exceptions are property trucks who only carry stuff on companies (the largest is a six-trailer roadtrain as far as I'm aware). Most common combinations are 2x 3 axles trailers or 2x 2 axle trailers and a 2 axle dolly in the middle of the two for better distribution of the weight.
    4:40 - There's other ways, a highway that connects Cuiabá to Porto Velho; the BR-319 which connects Porto Velho to Manaus (which is even worse than going in the trans-amazonian); the highway that connects Manaus to Boa Vista and the highway that goes from Porto Velho to Rio Branco and Cruzeiro do Sul in Acre. One thing is for sure, it's a scarce highway system but it still connects the capitals of each state there with only one exception: Amapá, there's no highway whatsoever that goes to Amapá and the only way to reach it is by ferries on Belém. Ferries on Belém are also a preferable option to go to Manaus than going on the BR-319, taking like 7 days average to reach that way.
    7:00 - Carga Pesada actually ended in 2007, there were many trucks such as the Scania, an older Volkswagen and a newer one as well, I was a massive fan of it when I was a kid since my dad was also a trucker.
    I never thought I'd see a video so well-made on the topic as well, absolutely been loving the channel and hope to see more too, a place I always was curious to see is Japan trucking because I never stopped to thing how trucking works there at all or what models they have.
    Thanks for bringing a light to Brazilian trucking, Yukon!
    And hey SCS, maybe we should get a Brazilian Truck Simulator too!~

    My father's whole life was being a truck driver, he recently retired due to bornout syndrome after a tiring journey of more than 600h in a month. I'm very proud of him, but he told me what this life means and it made me want something better. His last truck, a volkswagem trucker, ran over 1.500.000 KM in his hands for more or less than 10 years.

    Another reason many brazillians decide to become truck drivers is because their ancestors did it before them. I remember growing up with a dad that dreamed of becoming a truck driver, just like his step-dad, and with a friend who also wanted to become a truck driver like his father before him. Eventually life moved on and they learned other, better paying, professions and forgot the Idea, but my father still has his trucking license and will, from time to time, when his employee can't make a trip, go on a road trip to wherever he needs to go.
    Trucking is, for the lack of a more sofisticated term, ingrained within Brazilian masculinity, every boy that grew up in poor conditions (pretty much every boy in the country) looks up to them and wants to be just like them.
    It wasn't uncommon for me to keep my dad some company in a trip he'd make to the northwest of Paraná (the state we lived in), just to do some father-son bonding; and he'd complain if I didn't go, he'd basically say what Hank Hill said about Bobby "that boy ain't right" everytime I decided to stay home instead. If you grew up and weren't interested in trucking, you were the odd one out.

    I'm Brazilian, and my experience with it is
    "We desperately need trains"
    We simply cannot sustain our supply chain without not just the exploitative conditions you mentioned in the video but also making the general driving experience miserable. I've been in quite a lot of trips through the interior of the Brazilian south and it's very common to have single lane roads where traffic is jammed or ridiculously slow because trucks need to slow down to deal with the shitty and curvy road conditions.
    It's in literally everyones best interest, I want our trucking cuter to exist with people who can live fulfilling lives and actually want to do it

Truck drivers had a huge support from population because the fuel prices were incredible high, but they lost everything from the moment they accepted a price reduction for diesel, and ignored the gasoline and etanol.

    Diesel Mechanic here, I feel bad for them because mud is literally the worst terrain for a truck. On the steer axle most trucks weigh around 15,000-17,00 pounds on 2 tires, makes it easy to sink and get stuck. Mud is also sticky, gets into your brakes so you can't stop, and grabs airlines until they break. When it dries it sticks to your chassis and dry rots your tires, airlines and airbags, it gets into your seals and makes them leak. Absolute nightmare, i'm talking to you MBI!!!!

      Philippine trucking in a nutshell:

      Tbh, trucking in the Philippines is not too remarkable apart from the severe overloading that happens which damages the road a lot.

    Actually, Carga Pesada started in 1979 and was exhibited until 1981 and it was so successful it gained a sequel with the same actors from 2003 to 2007 when it finally ended. Unfortunately I was not born back in the 70s so I never got to watch those first episodes, since you can only find very few of them on the internet, however I am a huge fan of the newer version. It's sad it does not have english subtitles cause more people should see it, a great series in general and talks about several social problems Brazil have by two truckers' point of view (as you said in the video, they are not well seen and represented here). Anyway, you made me so happy including it in this video! Loved it! By the way I have never seen a foreign talk about Brazil in such a grounded way, it's like you live here!

    It's pretty normal to work 9-11 h in brazil. Not a truck driver. I'm an engineer for a company that makes truck mounted cranes.
    I clock in at 7:32, clock out at 17:30 if I don't feel like doing overtime.
    I'm out to lunch from 11:30 to 12:40, which leaves me with 8h48 working hours a day.
    This is because we have to work 44h a week. Would have to be 8 h a day +4h on Saturday, but I much prefer to save the fuel.
    Anyhow, this is thr baseline for truckers time. There is regulation requiring a certain ammount of rest for a certain number of hours driven, but it ends up working those long hours and the rest time matches the weekend.

    I live in a port city in south Brazil that has huge trucker traffic. The notion I have just observing them around here is that many truckers lead somewhat miserable lives, spending months on the road facing armed robbery, kidnapping, stupid traffic laws, abusive taxes, low pay, abusive maintenance fees and so on. They live to maintain their trucks and keep them legal for the government, while their families back home get barely any of that money they earn (which usually has the wife also having to work to maintain the family).
    The only reason they don't quit is because of either their passion for the road or the fact that they don't know anything else to do. The constant fuel and inflation crisis is likely the number #1 factor on why they work hard and don't see the fruits of it. I have considered becoming a truck driver myself, but it seems to be a fair trade in Europe, because it's pretty much forced labor in Brazil.

    There's not a good amount of ethanol powered trucks working in Brazil because basically they're not as efficient as ethanol cars. Scania took the bet further offering the OC09 5 cylinder 9L Otto cycle engine as an option until recently (I don't know exactly when), but they were never popular. Brazilian universities work constantly on biofuels research as a solution both to our costly petroleum dependence and emission rates. Ethanol actually should be more appreciated around the world as a cleaner fuel for the masses without major issues with maintenance and power losses. But we know how the world works and all the political power behind the oil supply chain.

    As a state and federal highway driver (traveler on a small, weak car) truckers are either Perfect gentlemen or the stupidest, most arrogant and crazy people on the roads. Countless times I was almost thrown out of the roads by 12 wheelers, 4ss#0les on powefull empty diesel trucks pushing my econosh1tbox on huge climbs. Yeah dude, my car can only go 80, sometimes 60km/h on the hills, if I could I would let you pass but sometimes it's impossible.
    Tons of drug addicts, people that like to modify their trucks with the "Arquear", the results are not pretty (making them less safe for other drivers, raising their rear ends, exposing the chassis, thus killing anyone that rear ends them), adding illegal transmitters & transporting drugs.
    I've worked for a Municipal PD in a city that was a hot spot for truckers. The ignorance & stupidity I've seen from them was unlike any other place I've been to.
    Some also like to take "revenge" on other people, and when they decide you have wronged them, there's no police on sight to help you.

    Ethanol is actually good in reducing knockbacks in gasoline engines. But it requires a large mixture, and isn't cheap.

    Scania once developed a truck that ran on either diesel or a mixture of ethanol and a compression ignition additive, but they ended up pulling the plug on it, as the additive was too expensive. We also had mass produced trucks running only on ethanol using Otto cycle engines in the 80's, but that also didn't go very well. In both cases, mileage was ridiculous, demanding frequent refueling stops.
    Today, scania sells a lineup of trucks that run exclusively on CNG, also using Otto cycle engines. These seem to be more successful, despite taking almost an hour to refuel every 800 miles or so.
