Heavy repair shops are incredibly important in a war, and it also makes it a target. We have the same in Sweden, many workplaces and apartment buildings have bomb shelters by law. Our workshops are pretty much the same as in Finland, the employer pays for clothes, shoes, ppe and most important, all the tools, tool carts etc

[@Karjis]

And these are by law designed for example nuclear accidents. Because that there is the filtering system that can also be operated manually. Most equipment is also designed for nuclear fallout rather than actual bombs. Tshernobyl accident also made the rules more strict for filtering, because there were identical plants located even closer.

You wouldn't have any customers in many European countries, if your shop wasn't up to this standard. As for the things in the office, like showers etc., you also wouldn't attract many workers (and much of it is required, in many countries).

[@martinpoulsen6564]

With the trucks coming in, the amount of snow, muck and grime, you'd be over your ears before lunch, if they didn't keep it to a minimum. And things don't get lost as easily, and with limited space, you also need to have things out of the way to have room to work and not have to jump over and break your legs. Just good work practice.

@@WillE454 I don't know if you have seen the series "Garage Rehab", with Richard Rawlings from "Fast 'n Loud". He basically travels around the US, offering help to failed car workshops, by giving them an injection of money, by renovating the shops, and teaching the owners, how to run the shops clean, and how else they can make money. After 6-12 months, he revisit them, to see how they are doing. Most actually make it, and thrive, but some fall into old habits, and the nice shop and the customers are just gone. In short, those who can keep their shop up to the standars, like in this visit in Finland, thrive, while the rest fail miserable. It's a series on Discovery channel, I think.

The guy was so nice and they had just gotten in two brand new Scania Firetrucks and he allowed me to drive it on the runway and shoot the water cannon which is controlled with a joystick from inside.

On Finland and coffee... they're the country that drinks the most coffee per capita in the world, followed by us over in Norway, so coffee is important, I think more of the sugary Starbucks "coffee" is starting to show up, but it used to be just black coffee. Also, there are a lot of US cars in the Nordic countries, I've worked in a shop that specifically sold parts for US cars here in Norway, and I've owned a couple US cars, like a '78 Mustang II, and a '80 Buick Century Estate Wagon, and a couple that never made it back on the road, a '79 Foxbody Mustang, and a '76 Cadillac Coupe DeVille. But there's tons of American cars around here, and in that shop I mentioned I've gotten to work on all sorts of stuff, like a C1 Corvette, and even an old '54 Chevy half-ton truck with an old stovepipe I6, old Ramblers, and various Internationals, so we enjoy the old US cars here, and on that point, I've seen old Peterbuilts and various old US trucks I don't recognize roam around here, not often used in actual trucking as the truck is too long so you'd eat up too much of the length allowed for cargo, but they show up at car shows now and then.

[@banaana1234]

Reading this while drinking coffee in Finland. Yup, the math checks out.

[@killerkonnat]

Starbucks failed super hard in Finland because almost every grocery shop, kiosk and gas station sells decent fresh coffee for 1-2€. And we have a huge culture of brewing coffee at home. (It's much cheaper and you also usually brew for guests visiting.) Why would you pay 9€ for a cup of not so special coffee when you can already get it for 2€ pretty much anywhere? Starbucks tried to enter Finland and almost all of the stores have already closed down.

I've seen all your Scania videos. I love your enthusiasm for the brand 👊

[@Znarffi]

You are lucky that the warm weather got here just before you came to visit our northern city.

You can call ylivoimala as a powerhouse. Much easier for u Bruce

He has a super clean shop. Even his truck was clean!

[@squidcaps4308]

Glad to see the bomb shelter being explained, i live on top of one too. They are nice in apartment buildings as it means there is free storage space downstairs. The downside is that you acquire way too much stuff, because you can always haul some downstairs.

[@ToniHiltunen1980]

You did outstanding donuts with that Scania, thank you of your video :)

[@cpbtrading4822]

I like the way Bruce is giving a genuine attitude towards another countries tech etc. US exceptionalism is a myth. It's unfortunate that US politicians over decades have run the US down. It is the same for many countries, but the corrupt US political system is probably one of the worse in any developed countries. The US were ahead of the game around 4-5 decades ago, but that changed for some reason and Europe in particular flew ahead of the US by quite some way. I know that a small minority of our american friends here don't like to see this, but Bruce isn't doing anything other than showing it truthfully here. Funny thing is, the US leads in war tech, but ! there you go.. :(

[@kornaros96]

Is not funny, they blow 50% of the federal budget on metal gear...

[@Savagetechie]

The US DOD is the world's largest employer, the biggest percentage of the federal budget and one of if not the biggest budgets in the world.... Imagine if the halfed it and put 25% into healthcare and 25% into education? I should also point out that budget includes at least 1 holiday resort!

[@patricksheridan7899]

America is not ran by politicians but by a KHAZARIAN MAFIA. You don't realize the US is in a war right now, come on wake up. Why do you think they won't allow proper elections.

[@coreplayersgroup1119]

Have said it for years now to all my friends, we have fallen far behind other countries, but we keep getting fed this media rubbish that we are the best here in the US. We're clearly not.

This is what happens when you have strict regulations that are enforced by the government ... A win/win for both businesses and the workers

I used to service these but the snow plough road gritter versions, they are easier than a car to drive, amazingly agile with the best power steering of any vehicle I've ever driven, and absolute bomb-proof engines (that term is used too often but not in this case) very comfortable when I had to take them on the road from service dept to end of winter storage it was a distance of about 4o miles and I could have kept driving for 400 miles and never noticed,

[@2dogsmowing]

Just to help make you how much you miss Florida. I live just south of you in Charlotte county. At this moment it's 52° today. If are not back from your trip. An if you are back, I curse you for bring back this cold ass weather. 😅

[@jaage70]

Thanks Bruce for the video and how you get to know Finnish culture. We love looking at your cool trucks, but here we have our own. Lots of tons in daily driving... keep on Trucking

[@Rmx2011]

Did not expect you come and visit Finland or more specifically Kempele, used to live within 15 km of the place lol.

[@OskarsSmalga-of9bi]

Wait a second my folks. In 23:28 super long white Scania timber truck? Wait this is famous long Finland Giant? New fan from IWROCKER channel.

[@Iceeeen]

No, just a typical 76t timber truck, even short 24m compared to 34m that's allowed.

The compulsory bomb shelters in commercial buildings in Finland is something new to me. I don't know other countries in Europe where this is a rule. Yes, we had those purpose built bomb shelters during the cold war, but these were part of civil defence, none of the private companies needed to have them as part of their buildings.

[@banaana1234]

All apartment buildings over a certain size have to have them as well. They are usually used for storage lockers for the residents.

[@Leonidae]

When you have Russia as a neighbour it's better to be prepared..

[@Kivikesku]

In the Russian tradition, war is about soldiers terrorising civilians. For them, war is not only man against man but also man against grandmother, man against toddler. So civilians really need bomb shelters.

[@TheNismo777]

Capital area has a underground network to host 900k ppl if needed, we been preparing for anything last 80 years

[@Dinstyvmorsa8539]

Was/is a thing in Sweden since the cold war as well, don't know if it's still a rule tho. Every apartment building I've lived in have had bombshelters to fit everyone living in the building + some extra. And working construction, what I know, and remember, is the last 10-15 new built apartmentcomplex I've been at have 'em too. Just don't know if it's still a rule or if we still just keep adding it in.

[@djremotion2]

You definately need to visit Herlevi they make 3000+ hp pulling tractors and trucks. If you are still in Finland.
