I'm gonna park my Scania there.....
, the drive axle alone would be over the limit!
I think any would exceed it, by quite some margin! - The above is the axle weights for my Scania R420....
Whats your 0-60?
You should install a lazy boy recliner and use broom sticks to drive with a tv to see the road.
Do your trucks have beds? I've always wanted to see the ones that people live in, do they have toilets?
0-60? ages! - Its limited to 56MPH unless you find a nice steep hill.....
No toilets, but certainly have bunks.
I wrote a couple of "reviews" of both Scania & DAF HGV's a while ago, the admins seem to have deleted them though!
So, heres a few random pictures....
Do you use the same truck everyday? Also are you lot allowed to decorate them how you please?
edit: DOES THAT SAY 2.5 MPG
Not officially allowed to decorate them, that said, I have a Gorilla sitting in my windscreen (a toy one!
)Yes, that does say 2.5MPG! ,I probably got that figure in stop start traffic running @ full weight (44t gross) - you can sometimes get it to read less than 1MPG !
Yes, but, not by much....
This is quite common when you stay off motorways.... 6.9MPG! - The above photo's are of a DAF XF's fuel computer read out, a Scania, Volvo or whatever would return similar at the same running weight.
Not this week mate, been too busy holding up car drivers - doing 1 MPH faster than the truck I'm overtaking....

Depends on the size of the fuel tank, my old Scania when I worked for DHL had 1000 litre tanks (do the maths!) the DAF's that James Irlam run have on average 700litre tanks, the Scania R420's have 2 300litre tanks.

Yep, defo overweight in that area then, lol.
I've had the pleasure of a Couple of XF105.480's and a couple of military spec CF85.430's (which bar the extra axle and cheaper cab are actually the same underneath as the XF's) lately, The CF's are only plated to 28T mgcw, but the chassis plates say 50T max design weight!
These have only had 400l tanks on them, £440ish to fill up, and an average of 9.5mpg.

Thats interesting, I'll have to look at the DAF's plate - The Scania that I currently drive which is plated @ 44t mgcw has a design weight of a mere 46t!
