Why European Trucks Are Different

NOTE: As many of you have pointed out in the comments, there are a couple of wrong numbers in the video. First, in terms of hours allowed per day in Europe, I gotta be honest I have no idea what’s right or wrong anymore. There is a lot of conflicting information so take my words with a grain of salt (or perhaps sand). Also NZ has not wide roads I guess. Also forgot to mention in the video that the European trucks which retained their nose are really cool. Look up Scania T-730 for an example. Personally, I want to see the cabover design make a comeback in North America. I saw one the other day while I was driving to my lead paint removal class and it made me want to scream and shout and bash my head on the steering wheel but I decided not to because then the person in front of me would assume that I was honking at them and I don’t really want to create another “situation“ that takes up fifteen months of my time and thousands of dollars in legal fees. And also it would give me a headache.
