Ask the aussies what is best they run US an Euro trucks on long range.

[Clutch]

Us Trucks all the way.
If fuel in European is expensive why do they make shitty ass Box Trucks? That can be very good on fuel.
Im damn sure the power on this Euro trucks has nothing on Cat power.

I would say that a full lenght rigid can carry legally more goods than your 53 greatdanes + better control over the trailer.

US max load weight is 32000 kg (32 t)
We have 48000 kg (48t) in sea containers and 42000kg (42t) in regular deliveries.
you got 2 axles, we have 3, we can have more load than you.

Old sisu trucks got Cats on them
Scania R730: 730hp 3500nm of torque Volvo FH16: 750HP 3550 hm of torque

ill stop my arguing here just keep your chrome toys on the other side of the sea

[Clutch]

We dont need 3 axels on our trailers. Our "toys" got power.

[Dr_dog]

but their legal max load weight is lower than ours. so that makes us haul more which usually brings more cash home. thats nearly 10 tons less than european. What you do with power if you have nothing to pull?

[Clutch]

80,000 Pounds is max Well you can load more (legally) with Heavy Haul Permits.
Way it works here, more loads = more money
More weight = pushing truck to max = breaking engine = loosing money = retardation.

we dont wanna fuck our roads up.. Thats not because it cant take it, its because the highway roads are bad enough.

those trucks are build to handle those condition, if you're going to haul a CAT 777D that's the real problem
and it can decrease the pollution trucks, btw trucks with engine infront of it is shitty in handling...

requires much wider turning than european. and for me it looks like the american truck got more damaged than european (Looking by video posted by supra) European truck would plough through the car it would hit and probably the car would be under the cab on the engine compartment. So driver woudlnt be hurt so serius than on american if it gets hit another car.
Just saying that american trucks looks pretty unsafe for me

thats is why we have 3 axels so we dont mess our roads up. + our trucks is not stock at the 70's

Hooded truck = Smoother Riding. Because of longer frame. Our roads are "modern" we dont need Cabover trucks, the US already went threw that phase, theres a reaosn we dont use them anymore they suck. You guys drive on 200 year old + roads, they arent made for trucks.
US hooded trucks are safe. I'd rather have the engine if front of me, it will stop a car from going threw your cab. And its better in rainy/slick roads, More weight. Better controll/handeling.

Are you FUCKING kidding me? Are roads are so bad? Oh fuck no. Do you know how much fucking money we pay on taxes, or toll booths that go to highways? WE PAY A SHITLOAD. Dont be fucking telling me that my tax payer money is building shit roads. The money goes to build roads and to maintain.
