What I do for a dwelling, an afternoon in my existence

in intresting •  7 years ago 

this is my workplace, my domestic and my existence. I work as a night time-time linehauler in Sweden.maximum days it is going smoothly, but every sometimes matters show upthat is what it looks as if within the darkish, each me and my boss have spent alot of money and time on this truck.a total of 12 lighting on excessive beam, appears brilliant in the fog. This photograph is serious about mt dashcam.Weekend over, time to work. I stay approximately one hour away from the place in which we par our vans all through the weekends. All week however i sleep inside the cab.Unloading on the terminal in which i start and give up all days. A town known as Västerås in southern-ish Sweden.Cant remember if that is unloading within the morning or loading in the afternoon, as you would possibly tell, each these ultimate pictures had been taken ultimate summer season.one of the great elements approximately night-time driving in sweden all through the summer time. This photograph became taken at 3 am.equal with this one, round three-3.30 am.right here i am loading in linköping within the nighttime on my way south. ts a piece complicated to get down there with 2 trailersi have as i said earlier than 2 trailers, here in Sweden we just name them "links". I believe they are known as B-dubbles inside the US and "Gigaliners" in Germany. the primary trailer, the shorter one is, while prolonged approximately 12 meters (40') lengthy, with eight meters (26') shipment hold. the second one trailer is a thirteen.6 meter (forty five') trendy eu semitrailer. All together it's ablut 25.five meters (eighty three' 7") lengthy such as the truck.whilst loading and unloading the link i lock the rear wheels, open a cupple of locks with a air-pressure valve after which revese the complete field up over the rear axles, fifth wheel and all.I begin in Västerås at round 4 pm with loading the link. In winter instances its critical to have as lots weight as viable on the vans driving wheels, so constantly load the link first.From Västerås i am going all the way down to hyperlinköping and load up the trailer. It takes approximately 2.30 - 2.50 to get there depending on traffic. From there i then go right down to Jönköping and sell off it all, and have some hours of relaxation and look ahead to the weight returned as much as Västerås. I commonly sell off in västerås at round 6am, then fall asleep.My truck is a 2011 DAF XF one zero five 510. which means it has 510 horsepower, but mine is tuned to around 600 now.
wish this isnt too boring for you guys :)
