Just ran across your page. The trucking business is not that much different hear in the states. The trucks themselves are much different here. The driver is always the last one to get paid and does all the long hours. 46 years of over the road. Be safe out there and hello from Oklahoma.

I drove fridges and curtainsiders for a long time until I gave it up about 8 years ago in exchange for a guaranteed 37 hrs a week in a nice clean office, without having to worry about some of the awful people you come across that can ruin a wagon drivers day!! HOWEVER!!! - I see the positive sides of the job in your videos so often that I really wonder sometimes if I did the right thing. There again, being home every night is something my missus loves, so no more life of a tramper for me!

In other bulk transport markets for instance, marine vessels, time overages are charged to the chartering customer. Known as demurrage, this protects the hauler from delays beyond their control. I assume truck haulage does not have this in the contracts as standard?

As a kid I grew up on a small dairy in Colorado and my dad and grandpa were the last to haul their own milk into the pasteurization dairy in town, and they didn’t like it. So what they did to force our hand was make my dad wait several hours in the sun until the temperature rose above what they’d accept. Then they rejected it,dad came home and we dumped several thousand gallons of milk down the driveway. On his birthday. So we quit hauling our own milk, got a new bulk tank system and hired their truck. The added expense of new infrastructure and missing a couple,e days of milk revenue.

Hi Jemma best wishes hope all is well one quick question I have depending on the allowed weight between trailer and truck rig with the drive axle on the truck as you get close to top weight have you to drop drive axle and front wheels on trailer with air to carry the full load.Just to explain my question every run you do are you nearly close to full loads or every run is different just simply keeping the trailer and truck running at what it pays to travel a load
@scots_knight47068 ай бұрын
As a farmer I can say lorries aim to get on their full weight. If you don't have enough grain for a full load, quite often the farmer would get charged for the missing grain. Haulage charge locally called, Capping the load. They only lift axles fully if they're empty and as soon as you go to load the axles are put down. I think there's switches in the cab but it may also have an automatic setting I'm not sure. Full weight is only legal with all axles and wheels down. Greetings from Scotland 🏴
