One major problem with the homebuilt truck. The container can be removed. This in Europe means the truck can still be used ( container off ) for hire and reward, ie paid deliveries and collections using another empty container or demoutable bed. This means that you can only drive it in Europe if you have an operators licence, and if you are travelling between nations you would need an international operators licence. This involves taking a lot of qualifications and also requires reserves in the bank. It also means the truck must operate under full EU drivers laws and conditions and must meet all periodic inspection requirements. In short the yellow home built truck is illegal. Plus being 12 ton you need a class C heavy goods vehicle licence to drive it and you would also need a drivers CAP / CPC qualification and would have to drive it under fully recorded tachograph regulations. Also due to it's MGW if you wanted to tow a trailer above 750kg MGW you would require a CE licence and further catagories for your operators license. My advice as an operator is DO NOT drive this on a public road. If you are caught you will be in a lot of trouble, and I mean a lot.

Thanks for your concern 👍😄❤️. It means a lot you took the time to write all this. But did you know I drive this truck professionally and have all permits, licences and equipment (i.e. Tacho) required?
@alexpervanoglu7420Күн бұрын
@@uglysjourney Ah OK I didn't know this. I have seen others do similar and not realise that if their vehicle can be used commercially then they must have all the necessary paperwork, qualifications etc. Obviously if you use it both commercially and for recreation I guess you are covered. Cheeky question but how do you do both and get around hours regulations and the fact you are driving your commercial vehicle that provides an income as a recreational vehicle as well ? Would be interesting to know. Cheers

So, idea about container on truck is nice, but would be better if you take a semitrailer like Iveco Daily and put there this container - its smaller vehicle, less fuel consumption, smaller tyres (its one of expensive parts in car services) and have 6 person version of cabin, also its category of vehicle for entrance of cities (most city-center or in europe is forbidden for trucks, trucks forbidden also for some another places, much more expensive toll roads) Its can be great also if you are working on this vehicle and change trailer for another work. But if you use only for traveling best way its find trailer or typical alcove for 15 000 - 30 000 euros - and everything is already constructed by engineers and factory for living in traveling, Spend 100k or 1kk USD hmmm.....

Hi Alexander, thanks for letting us know your thoughts! 👍❤️ But sadly you say quite a few things that are not true or, at least, need some extra explaining. Are you up for that? The main thing of you idea is to get a Iveco Daily. Let's investigate that. So which Iveco Daily can carry around this 5.000 kg container. Could you share a link? Please respond, also when you found out that you are wrong. This helps other people. 👍❤️
@alexanderpalamarchuk519011 күн бұрын
@@uglysjourney I wrote a comment with a link to information about the container, now I do not see this comment - perhaps links cannot be added, I will write well again. The weight of an empty standard container is 20 feet (as I see it is presented here) it is 2100-2300 kilograms, the weight of a standard trailer with everything necessary for 4-5 people is about 1500 kg (with the bulk of this being the frame and body, which should already be calculated, that is, the "payload" will be about 500-750 kilograms, but let's count to the maximum), the total is 3800 kilograms, the weight of the tractor and trailer is about 2500-3000 kilograms in total , we have 6800 kilograms of total weight - which is acceptable for category B+E (3500+3500) driver's license

the main difference is that you build your one yourself!!! Money is not everything. And if you will be on a nice place somewhere in the world, who will earn more respect: someone like you who invested a lot of work and passion into your truck or another person who „just“ spend 1,1 mln EUR, probably more than anyone in country you visit, would earn during the whole life. We have also a „just bought“ truck and I could be never as proud on it as you can be. I feel always uncomfortable if I am getting asked about the price of our car. I would love to answer the same like you! Anyhow, I love your video and the Humor. Have a fantastic time with your wonderful truck!!! Andreas
