One of my favorite search terms on YouTube is ‘passage (très) difficile’. Then you’ll find yourself in France, watching modern big rigs rolling through old small towns.
AubeAgri_Production posted a Volvo FH 6×4 tractor with a tri-axle semi-low loader, hauling logging machinery. No worries ma’am!
The Extrême Ineamm channel is famous for this kind of videos, they’ve posted numerous of them over the years.
Like a Scania R580 V8 straight truck with a full trailer, just passing through.
And a late model Scania V8 6×4 tractor with a tri-axle dolly for hauling long logs. Obviously, the two can go their own way.
Now don’t scratch up your car in the local parking garage!
It’s extreme to permit those vehicle to crush and roll through historic streets. It’s bullying the communities into tearing down their properties in order to keep these overloaded and over wide trucks on their schedules. It’s wrong, in my opinion.
Yes, just because they can, doesn’t mean they should.
Still plentiful survivors with incredible patina to see.
I think it allows us to see the truck driver’s skills quite well.
Yapp. Not only “convoi exceptionnel” but also “abilité exceptionelle”. That’s what it is.
Wow – unbelievably impressive! Now I have a new YouTube search time to pass the time!
Pretty much the opposite of this song (one of my favorite trucking songs):
….
Impressive.
“If it had another coat of paint on it, he couldn’t have done it.”
Wow, some seriously impressive skill there, especially the blue Volvo and red Scania drivers. I’m reasonable at threading a car and trailer through tight spaces, but this type of thing is a whole new level of challenging! That third truck was cheating a little with the steerable bogie, but still impressive.
Its just truck driving move along nothing to see maneuvering in tight spaces is part of it, not the best part by a long chalk but you’ll always be sent to places that are difficult
It’s wrong?
I don’t understand what the alternative is in these situations.
If something needs transported then it goes
+1 (and more).
Indeed, what’s the alternative? Hauling those logs down the mountains with a single-axle trailer, towed by a Dacia Duster?
Of course it would be a lot wiser to kill the whole local industry (logging, in this case). Not!
Clearly, both the rigs and the drivers are perfectly suited for this specific job.
