Do they load your trailers for you at that company, so when you arrive you just connect and go? I have to say some Euro trucks are quite nice. I am not proud to admit, but DAFs actually aren't too bad either. Very easy to drive, very quiet, good sound system and quick off the line as well.

Just help with loading ( for free ) if it's not ready when I arrive at work. Just drop the trailers when I get back. Doing a favour today unloading at a customer, then a pick-up.

I'm driving a DAF towing A Doubles and I hate the thing.

@@benjaminbardzinski3666 I've only pulled singles with mine. Although it was pretty much brand new. I'm still impressed by it, but they shouldn't be pulling anything bigger than a single in my opinion.

Hello Rod I was just wondering how many hours an average Tarcutta change over takes? I know it depends on where the depot is too, but lets say from Laverton? Also do you prefer doing it during the day or night? I would imagine the Hume gets pretty busy at night with all of the doubles doing change over or running to Sydney.

Merry Christmas and happy new year Rod! Bit soon to be back at work isn't it? No rest for the wicked aye lol. Do you think the MAN is better than the K200 big cab?
