My impressions on trucking in Europe (european Union)

[ImASwede]

Very true about the theives in France.. Me and my family drove through France and when we stopped to eat outside of Paris, we saw some guys stealing stuff from a truck while the driver was in the truck. The driver ran outside in his underwear haha

[artooor]

Good job dude. Your vids are suprisingly very addictive. I've watched all of them at one time wihout a brake! Nice talking! Keep it up!

[RWmods]

Even Though i'm American, I've always been a fan of Euro Trucks, they're so much better than the US trucks, they're more powerful, better-looking, and just flat out cooler. I would love to do what you're doing one day, Just Truck in Europe.

[EnjoyFirefighting]

have you also been to Sweden or Norway (I know Norway isn't in the EU)? Very interesting to drive: In Sweden it's like wide roads with many long straight parts, Norway the completly opposite: smaller winding roads.Most roads in Norway got a speed limit of 80 km/h, but with studded tires you can drive that speed in winter just like in summer

[zabijaka5]

@EnjoyFirefighting He wrote about it on his blog but in Polish. He wasn't there for work and money. His car was Peugeot, small car. Try ask him about it because how you can see he speak English :D

[GunnarOlaf]

It's very interesting to hear about the differentiae in trucking between europe and north amerika. Good idea and well done!

Keep on.

Cheers.

[MoThorjr]

Those things you said about beeing robbed in France and Spain, is very true! Its dangerous!

[BataQ]

Cool Video, 5 stars, nice to hear some stuff about truck driving from first hand, keep on trucking and stay safe

[mark1simon]

The Polaks love to fck the job over here and in Europe, in France iv seen some Polaks overtaking at 90kph in 2 ft of snow !!! Fckin crazy cunts will kill people and come out unscathed ,one guy in Germany killed 5 driving too fast in snow and walked away ... Into handcuffs I'm sure, the point is THEY ARE FCKIN USELESS AND A DANGER TO OTHER ROAD USERS AND GIVE TRUCKERS A BAD NAME .... so fck off home and have a wash u stinking twats

[Paddy199029]

@mark1simon

come down lad it's not only polish drivers that are dangerous!!! Im living in england for 4 years now and i have seen a lot of cunts that can't even drive the truck or a car mostly in big cities. so shut up and stop blaming only polish drivers because we are one of the best truck drivers in the world and i believe english drivers are one of the worst drivers in the world after what i've seen in the last 4 years in Enland ;)

[westernhello]

ja jeżdżę tirem w Kanadzie i też mam Polskie prawko C+E...czy warto jeździć tirem w Polsce lub w europie???

[plsniper]

Trucking in NAmerica and now in Europe? You get around budddy!! LOL Zajebiste filmiki. Pozdrowienia!

[JJRaff18221882]

No - you're right. That class system is still alive and well in Europe; a working man is just chattel, a serf, nothing else. Spent a couple of years there in the '80's with the US military in Germany. People can be nice, but also somewhat snobby and clannish. Not like North America where things are more open and equal.

[multivan2001]

Thank you for your impressions.

00:20 My brother in law from USA says the same about the different places.

00:55 Yes, speedlimit of 80 km/h, very slow.

01:50 South Europe and east = dangerous. Scandinavia = secure. Yes, stories are true.

02:40 much more than 8 languages. But a lot of people speaking English.

04:45 We are in the EU but every state has it's own transponder system, crazy.

06:21 What truck did you drive? You're not satisfied with transmissions. Some trucks hav an automatic.

[ziomxczarnyx95]

hej jaką jedzie ciężarówką w tym filmiku?

[ErikasTGX]

Everything you said is sooo true .. why did come to europe ? america is much better .. it's sad that edriver in europe is nothing .. but it's everywhere .. in what company are you working ? :)

[nolibab3]

@ErikasTGX I used to work for Miratrans in europe. I came to the old continent because I wanted some adventure and visit all the countries. :) Now, I'm back in North America working for a company doing mostly reefer loads and California !

[TheSindrex]

@ErikasTGX europe is better den america

[MrLordinblack]

@ErikasTGX shut up

[ErikasTGX]

@MrLordinblack Fuck you :)

[mibanas]

It's 56MPH the max speed for the truck in europe not 53MPH :P

[nolibab3]

@mibanas well mine was stuck at 53... hehehehe yes but it's so true 56mph or 90kmh.. it still sucks

[conbca]

@mibanas sorry but the law say 80km/h speedlimiter must stay on 85km/h thats 51mil / 53mil

[NineofTen]

@mibanas You wrong its 50MPH/80KMH for trucks with trailer. 56MPH/90KMH is for trucks with no trailer hook on them.

[guypi]

@mibanas True in general it's 56MPH but for example in Holland it's 50MPH and if you drive dangerous goods in Germany or France it's also 50MPH. Only in germany it's 53MPH without dangerous goods.

[nolibab3]

@mark1simon it is not the polaks that killed the industry but the laws of EU made by crooks sold to big transport corporations. For "polaks" the money they are getting are good money, and that is exactly why they are laying off people like You to save money. Don't blame it on the driver, try to get a bigger picture. We are getting screwed by big corps and that's a fact

[TheRoobo]

@mark1simon You should be happy that we killed "france" industry :-)

[robi22buziaczek]

@mark1simon Go fuck yourself. Come to the Poland and repeat it. Pieprzony angol.

[titmushman]

@mark1simon completely Agree with you all the Irish drivers are getting fucked over by the polish

[MaaculPL]

@mark1simon Come please to the Poland and tell that. I think you'll change your opinion i mój angielski ssie i pocałuj mnie w dupe spasiony angolu.

[westernhello]

@mark1simon just like the indians killed the industry in Canada USA

[ex0dus696]

@mark1simon Nope , actually we've build the industry ! ;)

[wuj3kdar0]

@mark1simon youre fucking looser able only to complain instead of make money hahaha :D if youre not looser why do you complain then hu?

[jajcek18]

[lacokai]

2:04 yes it is so truth. :-( I was a truck driver to here in EU, but I believe that in a week I will be back on the roads agen :-) can wait to start agen. yes it is a littlebit difficult here in eu. I would like to try trucking in the US or (and) Canada. Are you still trucking her in EU? Nice video... take care

[stefanDMS]

Thanks you for the video. It was Excellent, and it only confirmed what i already knew. Being a truck driver in Europe almost sucks! Nobody cares about you, and as you said before they look at you from "a height". If you have some problems NOBODY i mean NOBODY will ever stop to help you! Believe me Its even worse at the Balkans (i`m from Macedonia), and especially Italy! NOBODY KNOWS ENGLISH there! Maybe the worse thing-> no TRUCKSTOP! NOTHING! Sorry for my comment i got carried a bit. CHEERS!

[nolibab3]

@stefanDMS hey ! good comments are always welcome ! :) respect to the job that you do from truck driver to truck driver :)

[evh5150vanhalen]

When you went to Europe to drive, did you have to retake your license test's for the class 1 vehicles or did they just transfer it over into a EU one?

[nolibab3]

@evh5150vanhalen What I actually did, I kept my canadian drivers license and went to CAA to get an international version of my license for 20 $, wich is valid for one year. I actually was never pulled over by any official over there to test that license, but my employer had no problem with it. I also was able to get the card for the electronic tacho with my licence. I also stopped and asked polish DOT if they had a problem with my license and they said that they would honor it so :)

[haustan123]

@nolibab3 I can see youre driving a polish plated truck, so I guess you also get a polish salary for driving ? What do you think about living for that amount in western europe `? Here in Denmark a lot ot the danish drivers lost their jobs to eastern european drivers... and we can see, the eastern europeans are often stocked here... they cant afford to go back emty, so they are waiting more days for loads, but they can hardly survive for their money, cant afford to eat at the truckstops,...

[nolibab3]

@haustan123 Iwas driving for a polish company. I was making more or less 1000 euros. This is good money if you live in Poland. That is why polish drivers are willing to work for western companies such as essers, wili betz etc. They even pay them more, but make those poor drivers run for 5-6 weeks without going home. For drivers living in the western countries it's not funny to get competition from drivers half price but you should blame the Eu and its corrupted laws that benefit big corps

[HashDMI]

@nolibab3 that's funny becouse most of the truck drivers are frighten by the polish policemen. Everyone says that they a bastards:P

[AYLMERTV]

un vrai quebecois salut de gatineau

[blobby1972]

you are right about drivers been treated like low lifes I drove for 15 years and the security guards hate us the goods in hate us the reseptionist hate us the police hate us the public hate us lol. you have to ask your self is it worth it you bet your ass its worth it .Remember they all hate you because they all know you have a better job than them.and the feeling of freedom is FANTASTIC.oh yes and don't forget other drivers hate you too.oh and you haven't experienced beauty until you see alps

[nolibab3]

@blobby1972 well I was only driving for 4 months and soem situation forced me to go back to america, where we have the Rockies wich are pretty cool as well. But I shall be back on the roads of Europe soon :)

[westernhello]

@blobby1972 it's a beautiful job

[FreightlinerTrucking]

I watched this video before but i rhink i didn't comment..

So: I like the video, good to have some more info about driving! And indeed, it has to be im your blood!

5/5

regards Jan

[nolibab3]

@FreightlinerTrucking thank you for the positive comment :) oh yes it has to be on your blood to drive the truck over and over and over again :)

Greetings and secure jobs for Polish drivers abroad ...

[harry210992adam]

not agree with one. in Europe enough to be able to speak English. Rather, because every police officer and most drivers can this language. For example, I ride from Polish to German and I know German, English and Polish of course . generally in Europe it is a very nice job. states, but probably a little better and less demanding.

[nolibab3]

@harry210992adam

no kolego tak jak mowie, znasz niemiecki a to duzo. Po angielsku nie wszedzie im sie chce mowic, szczegolnie w Niemczech, Francji,, a juz dalej na poludnie jak Hiszpania i Wlochy to zapomnijmy :) szerokosci !

[harry210992adam]

@nolibab3 tzn ja jezdze w po europie czasem, i wszedzie w miare sie dogadasz po angielsku. a ty teraz jezdzisz w europie czy w kanadzie?

[chukfarly]

wow interesting insite to trucking aboard ,l ld definitely like too more differences between trucking here and there ,including the differences of trucks ,trailers and equipment .l ld also like to see where their truck stops are and what they re like .

make a new video on each ,so far so good keep up the good work.

[nolibab3]

pour commencer il faut qu tu te fasse un permis de conduire international, ce n'est pas cher environ 20 $ a la CAA pis il est valide un an. Ensuite bin il faut aller la bas pis dans ton cas, je crois que tu n'a pas la citoyennete d'un des pays de l'union europenne, donc faudrait verifier avec une ambassade d'un des pays ( je crois que le plus facile serait celui de la FRANCE) pour savoir qu'est ce qui faut faire pour avoir le droit de travailer la bas. moi j'ai une double citoyennetel.

[mdfred074]

Salut...Je suis camionneur au Canada et US. Et Je voudrais allé conduire en Europe. Comment je pourais faire ca????

Merci a l'avance

[nolibab3]

I grew up in Canada. I'm here since I'm 12. I went to europe to discover trucking over there

[Darrenhale1]

were you brought up in poland  or canada ??

[Darrenhale1]

half polish half canadian ?? were you brought up in canada or poland ??

[danylaly09]

hey...why don't you do a video shifting that transmission from your european volvo like you did with the volvo you drove in canada with 13 speeds? thanx

[vikingvic]

your accent sounds european/russian yet youre from canada? heh.. a highway is a highway same thing everywhere. except some places in scandinavia and eastern parts the quality of roads plummit.

[nolibab3]

@vikingvic :) Yeah I know.. my accent isn't perfect. I'm polish and canadian :)

[JonnyJinx85]

nolibab you forgot about russians they can drive with speed they want to :)

[nolibab3]

@JonnyJinx85 hahahahhahah yeah :)

[koproselek]

not 53mph but 56 mph mate

[nolibab3]

@koproselek You are right.. my mistake... one of my truck was blocked at 84 kmh... but most of them are locked at 88kmh 90kmh

[koproselek]

My cars in my company are locked at 90kmh (56mph) But I live in England and here most of cars locked at 88-89kmh or something like that and I have to overtake them. ;/ I am going to work now Gloucester hotel in London..

See u on cb (19 ch.)

[eternalbug]

Great video! Makes me glad I am here in the states. Be safe over there

[tutson32btc]

Mogłeś dać jakieś napisy (większa oglądalność:P). Ja przetłumaczyłem sobie 1/3 tego, ale nie którzy mogą wcale nie rozumieć. Fajnie by było gdyby następne twoje filmy miały PL napisy.

[Platanistheshit]

Interesting and nice!

[ZoeToots]

quite interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[petrodin]

was it better to drive in america, or in europe?

Did you visit in finland?

[nolibab3]

Unfortunately I did not drive in the scandinavian countries. It's another of my projects. Well I will be honest the driving is definitevely better and FASTER in America but Europe has its own touch

[machina37]

Hey! Stunning lesson !What do you think about to driving in Down Under-hahahahahaha!

[jwinters73]

Informative and nicely done..56 hours and 53mph...wow,

[anel313det]

nice video

[galacticforce1]

Good to hear from someone in europe.

What type of truck are you driving

[nolibab3]

I was driving a Volvo, and a DAF. :)
