Learning languages is not that difficult just remember 5 things. 1) Don’t be afraid to talk. You will make mistakes that is for sure and they will laugh at you… 2) That is good laugh because they will help you to say it. Everyone loves when someone makes effort to learn their language so they will help you 3) Learn to ask the questions and basic stuff like numbers, time, directions 4) remember that beer 🍺 is beer even if it is called cerveza, olut, öl or something else. It doesn’t change. 5) Learn the swear words. Then you know what to avoid, but remember that you are allowed to use those. If you hit your finger with a hammer and it hurts then a swear word tells exactly how you feel and others know it too. I speak 5 languages daily and speak 8 languages and learning more…

[@chriskunadrive]

@verttikoo2052 I think #1 advice is don't be afraid to talk. Even if you know just a few words it's a great ice breaker and they will always be happy to teach you something new. Great tips! 👍

Here in New Zealand we regularly use both American & European trucks. We even use Japanese trucks as well.

[@chriskunadrive]

Which ones are the favorite?

[@dallasfrost1996]

@@chriskunadrive It's hard to say, it really comes down to the application/use which determines which type is most favored. All 3 types are very common, cabover trucks are better suited for quite a few of our roads, which in that regard would favor Japanese & European trucks more, though we do also get American cabovers alongside the longnose models. Japanese trucks are usually used for light to medium duty work, while American & European trucks are used for heavy duty work. American trucks are known for reliability & simplicity, while European trucks are known for power & comfort. European trucks are especially popular in our general freight transport industry, while American trucks are especially popular in our logging, heavy duty towing (Wreckers), and heavy haulage industries.

[@dallasfrost1996]

@@gustavmeyrink_2.0 There are a few reasons as to why American trucks are predominantly used for Australian Road-Trains. There are other reasons, these are just the main ones: 1) They're locally built. All the "American" trucks in Australia are designed and built in Australia, specially for Australian/New Zealand conditions. 2) Cab space. American trucks have much larger sleeper cabs, providing more head room & walking space. Perfect place to live in for long hauls. 3) Fuel tank capacity. American trucks by default/factory spec are able to carry twice as much diesel, the outback is large with fuel stations few and far between. 4) Convenience of maintenance. Longnose trucks allow great access to the engine bay while still having the cab area usable. Ideal for the driver to have somewhere to get out of the extreme outback heat.

[@aljosaskrabelj8412]

​@@dallasfrost1996 Fuel capacity is not a problem on European trucks. Did you ever saw super heavy haul trucks from let say MAN? It can pull 250 metric tons, and coz it has 4 axles on very short semi there is no room for fuel tanks betwen axles...it still has 1000 liter tank. It is located behind a cab. So for regular 3 axle semi...you can put 1600 liter tanks easy if you need ir.

Naa. I’m not a truckdriver but rode my bicycle all around Europe, several times, and up and down through USA, border to border, 4 times. The difference is notable. In the US, the trucks are struggling both up, and down, the mountains, can’t maneuver in the cities and are just generally taking too much space and the noise is irritating. In Europe they glide quite elegantly through the mountain regions and can navigate tight European city streets, all in comparable nice quiet fashion. Plus, in Europe, the drivers tend to follow the traffic regulations except for a few boneheads.

There is a lot more information out there these days that shows that European trucks are 10 to 15 years ahead of their North American counterparts when it comes to Driver comfort,the quietness of the cab,the smoothness of the ride ,etc. The people who have driven on both sides of the Pond,most of us agree that the American truck mainly Peterbilt and Kenworth are real work horses. Personally, I would agree European trucks are ahead of the game when it comes to what I mentioned above. I own a mixed fleet myself and I have a lot of experience owning different highway trucks . In North America currently there is nothing better than Peterbilt and Kenworth in my personal opinion. North American trucks have to do better when it comes to noise insulation, also they have to put up the driver’s cab and sleeper on airbags upfront as well, which is possible because you are already mechanically disconnected from the hood in front of you. We have the same DPF/DEF Emissions problems, but I think in Europe they have less emission’s problems than us because all trucks in Europe are operated under a 48 V system which I think is more reliable overall.

Volvo is the biggest truck manufacture in the world Scania the number second. So, in USA thay like a domestik brand, in the rest of the world Volvo and Scania....

[@asokawhite]

Volvo is Second Biggest one, the real biggest Truck maker world wide is Daimler.

[@patricjonsson3695]

@@asokawhite Daimler is the owner, not the brand, equally as I wrote Scania, not Volkswagen. With that way of seeing it Scania would be the biggest, as they now days are owned by one of the biggest companies in the world, Volkswagen Group. If we look at Mercedes-Benz Trucks as a brand yes you are correct they did about 158 000 tracks in -2023, and Volvo onlu 145 000, but one big diffrence is that Mercedes-Benz make a big part of that is light and medium duty trucks and types like Unimog... is that the "BEST TRUCKS" as in the header mention? For me a truck is more then 450 HP, even if that was not what I reffered to in my earlier comment....

[@seeker1432]

Drivers who have Driven many Trucks know better than a salesman who passes then through quick. A Driver knows which has needed more attention in my book. Volvo is smooth in my experiance, But found Scania bit better on fuel, But i dont pay the bills. Ask a commercial truck garage machanic for a repair comparrison.

[@jone8626]

only the very new inexperienced drivers said some other truck is best. All the old drivers said Scania and Volvo. We have Mercs, and after 300 000km they are horrible to drive. We also have Scania and Volvo and even close to 1 million km they are like new. Huge difference, Worst thing for a driver is to go from driving a Scania for a few weeks into an Mercedes. Just horrible experience. Even a 15 year old Scania is better condition than a 3 year old Merc.

Should have gone to scandinavia

[@chriskunadrive]

Hopefully next year 😀

[@Gazzxy]

some of this is pretty subjective though. can come down to use case. what your doing. if you have to live in the truck or not. ect. for example we have a fleet of Renaults (which are mechanically Volvos anyway) and mercs (the horrible ones with the digital mirrors and twitchy computer) as a day driver I prefer the Renaults. but for tramping they are much too small, and id live with the mercs faults and lunatic computers for the extra space. but outside of them hapen to know for actually living in the truck DAF are pretty solid.. though Id probably buy a scania If I could. just a shame they dont make the fun types of cab anymore. there is a company in holland that will modify new scania to a T-cab. but id prefer a proper XL (the one with the table and seats not just a bigger bed)
