I'm from Indonesia and here small detail about trucking in my country. In here truck drivers are called truck drivers or truckers. For semi trucks in my country use the same type as semi trucks in Europe and Japan. So there are many brands here, but the most commonly seen are Japanese brands like Fuso, Hino, UD, although there are also some like Volvo, Scania, MAN, Mercedes Benz and Renault Trucks. On average for the Scania and Mercedes Benz brand there are more buses than trucks. for the truck itself we call it a truck, because the designation of a tractor is a vehicle used by farmers to cultivate fields.
@ZakModz88 Жыл бұрын
most of the semi trucks here have a bunk place in them but it's rare for the driver to stay in the truck, usually they just take a short nap or rest. Semi trucks in my country are used to transport loading containers. Most are trailers of the flat bed type or the low type for transporting special goods such as machinery or factory components. Because in my country there are many bends and roads up and down mountainous hills, it is rare to have a semi truck that uses the 8x4 arrangement most of them are 4x2 and 6x2.

As an American, I'm very jealous of the NZ (and Australian) car market. You guys get literally everything from every manufacturer. As a JDM fan of course you guys get or can easily import pretty much any Japanese car you want. Ford and GM Australia with the Falcon, Holden Commodore Maloo, etc. are super cool. Additionally, manufacturers which only sell very specific models to the American market sell you guys both US market cars and other-market cars as well so the variety of cars from every manufacturer is endless. And additionally manufacturers that don't have a market in the US such as Peugeot, Renault, Daihatsu all sell you guys cars. The variety and choice is endless. American safety standards are very strict and additionally, the US market is very picky about what it wants so car manufacturers give us very specific and limited models. And anytime they try to sell us something unique and different, we prove that idea right by not buying them (see wagons and hatchbacks) so they stop making it for us. Very jealous of your guys market.

When I think of dekotora I also think of many trucks in India and Pakistan but when it comes to alcohol limits specific to truckers I think of the US Government-mandated BAC of under 0.04 (but with penalties for drivers with any detectable amount of BAC under 0.04 if breath-tested by police).
@roachymart2318 Жыл бұрын
US CDL holders are limited to a BAC of .04 even in their personal vehicles as well. On top of that a CDL can be lost if you're caught going more than 15MPH over the limit. There are a bunch of other little things that they can nail you on with a CDL that they don't bother with a regular license such as infractions staying on a database for life, which started recently, and basically in any accident, even when it's obviously not your fault, they blame you first although you are considered a "professional driver" because they think everyone is clairvoyant and can predict that some dipshit staring at their phone was going to decide to use your vehicle for brakes instead while you're sitting in traffic or a red light. (Edit: forgot to state that it's US CDLs)
@wainber1 Жыл бұрын
@@roachymart2318 Penalties are strict for holders of CDLs issued by any US state or DC. I dunno if a CDL issued by the DMV of Guam, Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), American Samoa, Puerto Rico or the USVI can be exchanged for a CDL issued by DC or an American state, with a Quora question on that subject ("Hey I really need help with finding out if a Puerto Rico CDL (class 8 Heavy) is recognized by the DOT on the mainland?") having featured differing answers. A British Government website, however, DOES mention, for exchanging of bus and heavy truck (HGV) licences, that those those from the British Isles, Gibraltar, Switzerland and other European Union member states are accepted. Anyone looking to exchange a CDL issued by another jurisdiction, even if another British overseas dependency such as the Virgin Islands or Montserrat, will @ best get licences to drive vehicles with gross weight ratings of @ most 3500 kg (7700 lbs). I rented via Zipcar a Honda CR-V SUV. Whether it was a 3rd- or 4th-generation model, the highest GVWR I could find on the Four Wheel Trends website was 4453 lbs (2020 kg). I can't think of a vehicle with a higher GVWR rating than 2020 kg I've ever driven, and I dunno how soon I will drive a vehicle with anywhere near a GVWR of 2000 kg.

But, with the eye test, for commercial drivers, we have to look into a box, there are three vertical lines, the middle line moves back and forth, what you have to do is press a button on the side of the box when the middle line matches the Sam level and the side lines, but its not as easy as it sounds.

At first possiblity to find a company brave enough to hire Gaijin is pretty low even with N3 certificate and back then 5 years of experience. It's not impossible but very hard to find a job. I was even asking for distribution on small trucks. I was ready to move there, make my driving license but the answers were no. I don't say it's impossible but the chances are very low. Ok maybe for a German it will be easier due to how they see Germans but remember you are gaijin and not fluent in Japanese. Of course I wish you good luck and hope you can get what I am aiming for too. Remember to say if you'll get lucky and find a job as a truck driver in Japan.
