Hello Andy, great and nice show of pictures, you have a beautiful truck, you did a nice movie, you used the right song, I like too much the songs from Keane, I send greetings from Brazil !!!
Yeah I know the US trucks are years behind when it comes to the driving experience, that's why I'd love to have a Volvo out there. How is your first solo trip going? Hope you and Cath are enjoying it? I need to get out soon mate, got no work at mo. Thanks for your comment and drive safe.
They aren't wierd for me as it's what I'm used too. It would be better to have the lump up at the front, more protection. However, they allow you to get REAL close to any knobs that piss you off!!! LOL Cheers for the comment!!
Hi i like your pictures they bring back some nice times to me my late father was a truck driver.Ive just been layed off(im a bricklayer)ive been thinking about getting into the trucking industry,i used to love driving around with my dad in his Scania 111.
Is it a good job to be in or is it strugling like most other jobs at the moment?I sent away for all the details and perhaps might take it up,can you give me any advice please?
Very interesting vid, my man! Funny how your company name and the make of the truck spell "Cannon Man" in the front! Is it auto shift, or manual, I wonder? If auto, how do you like it for up/downhills? Is it performant? And if manual shift, is it synchro? Very cool truck though! Keep it safe, bro! Cheers from Canada!
Hey ZoeToots. Thank you for the friend invite and the nice moments. It was my first attempt at movie maker. When I get my video camera I will buy decent video editing software. I'm honored by your presence. Thank you!! :-)
Very cool Andy, I liked the music and the Truck was different, I get the feeling that overall length and compactness is important over there, I see very few "long nose", but many cabovers in the European vids. Who makes MAN? is it British? I see a lot of them in the Paris to Dhakar docs.
Yeah, there is a size limit on trucks over here, purely because of the size of the roads. There are a few "long nose" trucks here, most are Scanias, but there are a few Volvo and American rigs too. MAN is a German company, owned "I think" by VW. They make a 680BHP V8 version. VERY NICE...Thanks for the comment Jeff
You keep your rig looking very nice! I was impressed by the whole thing! Don't know if I'd like that "digital 'big brother'" tho... I've seen these kind of flat beds before! Sure beats having to tarp your freight. Excellent and very educational!!! Five stars!
Thanks very much for the comment. I thought it was about time I made the effort to make a decent video. I'm looking at buying a HDD video camera soon, so watch this space!! Don't you have curtainsider trailers in the US? They are great, and if you have lightweight freight on board you can get away with not securing the load. Thanks for the comment...:-)
Thanks a lot for the comment. I could use proper straps and ratchets, but it would take forever to strap up. The straps I'm using are sufficient as those stillages are very heavy and aren't going anywhere.
Sorry mate, you might have thought I was having a go, didn't mean to sound off... I have lots of proper straps and ratchets but it takes ages to strap a load. Those bins are heavy and I take it real steady when I have a max load. Tankers hey, nice. I love your Volvo, they are a very nice truck to drive. Just having a look at your site. Very nice. Thanks for your interest mate, watch out for the next one..
No problem..I am not bad..mabey you miss understood me..Your right thats an easy and safe way to safe the heavy load..Next time im around the UK i buy you a coffee or a beer its your choise..lol..
Thanks for the offer of a beer Andi, I LOVE beer, but not when I'm driving LOL.. So I will take you up on the coffee, no problems. What do you deliver in the UK?
lol i was on this road , where you see the german truck :D :D :D

Nice pictures mate, now hurry up over here and get some proper pics.
On a serious note, the Euro trucks are far superior to US ones but don't look like real trucks, and have no space inside
