    When I drive Quebec-Toronto at night, I tend to drive through Mtl around 4AM. There's often a little fog/mist in the air. Due to the insane amount of constant constructions in Montreal, the whole area reflects orange in the air. You see if well before to enter the zones. Just an orange fog all around as you drive through!

When I was on the road I was kind enough to give up my spot for tractor-trailers but was hard to find parking elsewhere because I was considered a commercial vehicle. I feel that truck stops should be more accommodating but I live in Virginia and in my area there are only three and you will pay for parking.

    What are some of the weirdest restrictions or requirements you have seen for oversize loads in some of the places you hauled thru? Have you had problems with other truckers at truck stops now making room for you or waiting for you to go passed resulting in you stopping or waiting longer than should have? What changes are you thinking about doing to your truck? Do the cat scale slips help at weigh stations?

      Cat scales are helpful but they won’t get you out of a ticket because they are easily manipulated. For instance you can just leave a set of wheels off the cat scale and voila your total weight is less!

      The front pilot vehicle has a flexible pole mounted on the front bumper that is raised to a height of a few inches above the height of the load so if pole comes in contact with an object such a traffic light, electrical wires or bridge that the semi driver will have warning to stop before load comes into contact with lower clearance object.

The last company I drove for it was 244 we were told. But I have heard that you can get an over length permit for your truck, but I don't know how true that is. If it is what is the length you can have for your wheelbase for your truck with that permit. And I'm talking tractor only.

    im intressted of your thougts on bringing a EU Cabover to the US Market. It seems Scania put some effort in this and build a truck for a you tuber (afaik its colaboration and some things needed to be aprofed). It seems to me from what i see and think, its possible this could be a try to test the waters for changing something in the US production of Scania to a more EU style Cabover ???

      For refference I'm guessing your're relating to Bruce Wilson's new demo truck.. Would be fun seeing a colab with him to see how the cabover would work on the longer loads.
      Tho, i'm seeing the reason for not selecting a truck where there are not a local shop on each corner of America, for those critical loads, where you can't wait a day for spare parts.

      @@G33km0bile i agree , but why should scania do this if they didnt think about implementing the EU style in their america buisness therefore if scania chosse to produce EU style Cabovers in the US the coverage for parts and maintance is given in my opinion. Scania is part of VW and afaik they have US production ??? i think its possible that one of the VW truck company MAN Scania Navistar and so on could switch to a EU style Cabover. And with production comes part and maintance in my opinion.
      I think Scania (VW) is trying to figure out if the US market are accepting EU Style Cabovers with this projekt ??? thats my thought process :D

      It’s funny that if you look at photos of trucking from North America in the 90’s cabovers were very popular. However we’ve gone back to the conventional style 🤷🏼‍♂️ although not all with hoods as long as a peterbilt 389

      @@tasker6669 If I remember correctly what the video showed, Bruce had lots of trouble, mostly at the US/Can border. Eventually, he had to declare that it was a personal vehicle and that it would not be used for commerce. Correct me if I'm wrong.
