Here's a short video off the road. Admittedly most of the time I do boring stuff but this was particularly steep (except it doesn't quite show in movement).

Right sorry for the image dump but it appears in the 3 years I've been doing this sometimes lovely wonderful job I managed to take some nice shots.

Consider me sobered. Just lost the steering assistance, fully loaded, in a roundabout...
Guess the guys behind me probably wondered why it took me three tries to turn at my exit.

Today I played the role of makeshift roadside assistance.

Loaded the van in my transfer dump truck (with the box or whatever you call it on the ground) then it was a matter of backing up against the trailer (thank God it had adjustable suspensions because I sure as hell do not!). Also no sound because it was too windy to be worth it.

They are most likely running dual fuel system, natural gas and diesel, to reduce emissions and pollution.

This happened here today!



Turns out the driver had warrants, so he got to go from the hospital to jail. Fun times!

Wait, you don't have any security railings on your bridges? :psyduck:

Or he just forgot he had it up. (Happened to one of our driver a couple years ago, yes they're not particularly the brightest guys, but still)

Yeah braking near houses should totally be banned. But then they're going to complain when the next truck ends up their living room.

I finally got an upgrade at work. Scored a 2016 Volvo FMX. The automatic gearbox does weird things from time to time but I guess I will need to get used to it. The difference in fuel consumption is absolutely staggering, I went from a 5.3 mpg to a 7.1 then again it sips AdBlue like a [insert your tasteless comparison of choice here] . I'm a bit concerned at how all the nice plastic stuff is going to age (probably not well).
