Lordy, that looks icy and a half, even with chains. Love the Bohemian Rhapsody playing in the back ground at the beginning). My impossible dream is that someone will invent "studs on demand" tires so if we need them, we can push a button inside the vehicle and studs will pop out of our tires, then retract when no longer needed. :D
You've never considered On Spot chains? Sure they're not as good as proper chains, but as long as you're moving, they're really helpful and saves tons of time. And speaking from own experience, you often get in the tight spot before you realize how slippery it is, or you're a bit lazy putting them on and end up in the middle of the road with a bit of a hurry to chain up.

in this film I wish I have had On Spot. Not me that deside how this truck was spesified, it was 1,5 years when I start drive it.
Yes. I know how it is hard to argue for proper equipment. I think it was back in 2008, we got a delivery of a four axle Scania R380. I'd argued for On Spots, but they put on sanding dispensers instead. And the switches for the dispensers was placed to the left of the steering wheel, right in front of the position of the left knee. And what happens when you have a quick rest in the cab? you glide forward in the seat pushing in the switches so the sanding roll will latch on to the wheels. No indicators or alarms that they're activated, and then the bearings burn up when you hit 80 km/h. I didn't destroy them myself, but it wasn't my truck to use exclusively, and the other guys driving weren't that careful. Once I had to pour 18 liters of oil on one of the old 114 340's. Noone had taken a peek at the dipstick for ages. I don't drive anymore now. Still have my licenses, but no valid tachograph-card. But I miss being out on the road and your videos brings back mostly the good memories. Putting on and taking off snow-chains 4-5 times a day in biting wind and half wet snow, is one of the things I don't miss. Again: Keep up the good work, Reidar and Bon Voyage!
How common to drive a truck that designed to carry more than 32 or 40 tons in Norway? In most of the countries the 32t is the normal, but the maximum is 40 tons.

Maximum total weight in Norway is 50 000 kg but some areas we can run what we call modular roadtrain, 25,25m and these can be 60 000 kg
flott og se folk legger ut sånne filmer om det flotte landet våres. men det som plager meg er at ingen har vett på og sette park lys på når dem står langs veg kanten. sikker på at du har hatt noen oppvekkere igjennom tiden på vegen :)
Hey, Reidar! I know exactly how it's like, I have also been driving that kind of roads in Norway for 5 years now. All the way from Tromsö down to Stavanger. Even though we have also 6x2 Norway-spec trucks and trailers with big engines, make the road and weather conditions still sweat sometimes. And we drive pretty often with 30 ton loads. Would be much better with 15-20 tons. And especially on the winters are we over Polarcirkel, last winter I had lowest -43 degrees Celsius on the way from Tromsö to Sweden through Finland. I don't have many videos, but You can check my channel for videos also :) Greetings from Estland. BTW, I know SR Group's black Scanias as well, I think I have read an article in Swedish Trailer also :)
Hey Reidar, I am delighted to see Norway.

No bogie to lift last axel ? Or is it just one axel ?
it will soon be the season again Reidar ;) Last week it was only 5 degrees C when I passed Grane and Trofors ! Hope to meet you out there one day ;)
great driving on a bad road..all the best..
You have to throw sand like the railroad. ;)Hilsen fra Østerrike, jeg er knud - I wish you always safe driving!
reminds me a lot of u.s. 12 that runs from Montana to Lewiston, Idaho. And definanately a bunch of country backroads.
+george symons this is the main road between north and south
WOW tiny for a main road
+george symons Yeah, that´s norway ;-) It´s called European Road 6 but sometimes it´s a field....
Best wishes
+george symons Not all of it is that tiny though.
Every streets in Norway can be a nightmare, not only in the northland ;-)
I see all your last wintervids, it was a pleasure :-)
Drive safety!

Начало не понятно - то-ли боится, то-ли акуратист, то-ли потерялся(растерялся). Главное - Всё хорошо! Молодец!
