7:48 The man in the red cap is Svempa. He started a salvage company in the late 1960s.
He was the first in Europe to decorate tow trucks with beautiful but sometimes grotesque motifs.
Svempa is a nickname for the name Sven.
Svempa, the King of Scania is 84 years old.
You have just met a legend Bruce!Mr Svempas has been customising Scanias for decades
I think he started in 1939 😁
I remember first reading about Svempas and his tow truck built on a Terrängbil 40 (TGB ¤0), civilian designation Scania SBAT 111S, back in, well, eh, before ...
Ah, didn't know that Scania bought the rights to Svempas in 2021.
@@ulvsbane Gotta love the attitude too. Dirty old man talking about "We had three couples getting married and driving off in this here truck, and one of them stopped off and had a little fun in it..." There's a guy who's done it all and knows it, and isn't afraid of what some sillmjölke is gonna think...
Hey Bruce, as a former european trucker hauling all over the US and Canada now for almost 2 decades i really appreciate you letting US truckers finally know what's a real truck and the way better quality and finally bring it to our all attention. I hope Scania makes it into the NA continent. I'd be the first one in my company to let my boss know to lease out the first one for me. Love your content.
Svempa (Sven Erik Bergendahl) is a living legend…
It's not a bad thing to change the environment a little and see what others are doing... A whole new world, I hope you will get acquainted with Scania and become an excellent craftsman
It is a tiny bit hilarious watching you will be extremely excited about the quality of life we’ve been having in our trucks for The last 25 years now i’m so glad you made it to Europe and I hope you have a fantastic experience and keep them amazing videos going
Come to the states sometime, take a ride in a 15 year old freightliner, you'll see why he's so amazed.
@@josift1283 the videos ive seen of american trucks, even the new ones look like they are from the 80-s but with digital cluster.
@@aiwoor and they sound like that as well. Don't get me wrong, sound is amazing, but I can't imagine how insane that could be driving such truck for 8 hours straight every day. They have bigger sleeper, classic look - better mileage in the long run and that's it. Evrything else is lightyears ahead on EU trucks.
Svempa started as a towtrucker and had a company with only Scania trucks, he lived not far from where i grow up so all days we saw his trucks. He then started to make trucks for show's. He is a legend in Sweden on custom trucks and even trailers!
I've a feeling this is going to be an enlightening and educational trip for you.
You're gonna arrive home feeling quite different.
Sense you are in Sweden and going to Finland you could show your American following how our Winter tires look like on both cars and trucks.
I've noticed that a lot of Americans doesn't know that winter tires exist.
We have winter tires here, but most people are too cheap to buy them, all those videos of sliding in snow tho are often first few snowfalls of the year before people by snow tires.
Yes please show us winter tires lol
@@Drew_379 We can't show winter tires to you since we don't have electricity in Finland and Polar bears are roaming in the streets. So, its a no go. Also, I'm running out of ink with my typewriter, so I must stop writing. Cya.
@@sterlingodeaghaidh5086 and still the comment section of those videos are full of Americans saying that there ain't no tires that gives u grip on ice or snow.
@@vedvin817 idk, i have a set of my truck and they work fine.
WOW! I sat down with my dinner to watch the vid and I didnt take a single bite until it was done. I cant even describe how awesome those trucks are. My company spent almost a million dollars in news trucks this year and NONE of them are this quality. 7 custom peterbilts and everyone of them had flaws on delivery day and not even a year later, are breaking down more than our old trucks that they were replacing.
Sounds like whoever "customized" the trucks did a shitty job. What sorts of break downs are happening?
@@52Ford Sorry for the late reply, Bud. Peterbilt themselves customized everything, though its wasnt like a total rebuild or anything. Most of the flaws were cosmetic. Ripples in paint, door panels peeling, and whatever veneer they used on the new dashes was extremely fragile. The only thing we found that wouldnt scratch it was a feather duster. Paper towels, rags, microfiber, screen cleaning clothes, EVERYTHING would scratch them. We also have alot of ubolts breaking on the air tanks and just the whole quality control of the trucks was very bad.
As for the break downs, jesus, where to even start. First and foremost, Peterbilt decided to tie along of their sensors and systems in together. So one sensor going out, takes out several along the chain and kills the truck or makes run like absolute crap. This has been the biggest PITA! But We have had nonstop issues with DEF regens. We have had nonstop issues with injectors. We had lost turbos. We are having interiors falling apart.
At this moment, we have so many trucks down, that we are using almost all of our old spare trucks. I drove a 25 year old pete yesterday that must have been specced for a little person, I could hardly fit in it. it had one of the old push button starters and an 18 speed. The truck ran flawless and pulled harder than any of our newer trucks do and everything worked on it, with no fuss.
Our bosses are seriously thinking about selling the new trucks and finding and rebuilding old trucks and using those instead. We bought the new ones for fuel economy, but we have lost so much money in down time in the year that we have had them, that whatever money they would have saved is lost.
@@christopher9626why not buy Volvo?
Im not sure if the ones built for the American market are built with the same specs and quality though.
@@tjalvehund82 We live in a farming community and The owner of the company grew up driving peterbilts since he was a kid. There's no way He would buy volvos. Image in a very big thing around here. But there is the maintenance issues. Everyone around here knows how to work on Peterbilts and Kenworths, but there isnt a single Volvo in the valley. I have driven Volvos in my career and I thoroughly enjoyed them. I think they are one of the most driver centric trucks made in the states
@@christopher9626 I see. Thank you for the reply!
Things we take for granted for a long time seems like new to the US truck drivers 😅
Welcome to Europe.
Have a great stay and enjoy our technology.
As a retired British trucker (3years) and mainly driving scania’s during my career. I came across your channel as you rescued the truck from Canada. To see your enthusiasm over what I took for granted is fantastic. Now you are going to the factory I can’t wait to see that how they produce what I consider the best brand of truck. Well done
Rescued???
Guy plans to chop off rear of that nice truck and put some shitty american rear,he even calls it project "half breed".
@Z4N7 he's going to piss off a lot of us Europeans when he does that.....
I have to agree. Hope Bruce re considers that bone-head idea. Raping a SCANIA is a BIG 'no-no'!!!
@@Z4N7 you know Bruce is a Troll right? I hope he's just saying that to rile up the haters. lol
For these Scanias to be older models, they are ahead of their time just looking at them. I'm becoming a Scania fan, I've always had a soft spot for cab overs growing up.
The ones in the shop, except for the topless T-Scania, are all brand new, headed out to customers.
Idiotic not to use coe's You see better, Easier to work on and above all you can have a longer trailer instead for a long good since i guess you also have restrictions on how long truck and trailer can be.
@@graffzonSee what better?
@graffzon You see more without the nose in the way. It's because of the length limits we need to use shorter trucks/cab overs.
@@jonasthemovieThe nose 😅
Scania, a true legendary truck. The quality and technology of these and other Euro trucks is light years ahead of anything in America.
Thank you Bruce for showing what I used to drive and highlighting just how good these trucks really are.
See, i don't really understand that part. Are Scania, Mercedes or Volvo really that different?
I guess it would be interesting if he made a video where showed the differences from a new American truck.
@idiocracy9530 never was a great fan of Mercedes but I do love a Volvo FH.
I'd just like to see more Euro truck content from an American perspective.
@@idiocracy9530 Mercedes know their stuff, gotta hand it to 'em. But imho one has to conclude they're more focused toward the car market. My experience is they have some of, if not the best, motor blocks and cranks. But given what else I know, I would not be surprised if I could do some tolerancing on a couple of stripped-down units, and Scania would likely hold up very close. Like comparing a 2JZ vs. a good Barra, perhaps. And I wouldn't be surprised if then next, the Swe motor maybe only performed similarly, but straight beat the Kraut for design points, service access and/or lower part number.
Then there's the rest of the "accoutrements." As Bruce points out, there's Swedish quality and general thoughtfulness throughout the whole thing. Yeah, you can change the power pack on a Merc real fast too, because everyone knows these things are workhorses, and we all know how to "do" cabovers these days. But the extra attention to creature comfort for both driver and mechanic? Me, I chalk it up to the weather and conditions up here; With our winters, you would like to be able to just drive as much and as safely as possible, fix things quickly, and have your cab be a nice place to be...
I like how ppl in the comments are so nice! Everyone welcoming to europe with open arms. 😊 Bruce has alot to take in, so dont overload him just yet lol
Your a good and open-minded ambassador for the Usa Bruce, a man should broaden his horizons. Since you took the step and really went over I had nothing left but subscribing.
In Europe there are a lot of smaller (;ike 5 to 10 trucks) hauling companies where the owner is in a lot of cases also a driver. Especially with the current truck driver shortage in Europe, a way to attract drivers or reward long-time employees is by offering them nice equipment.
Yes. Investing in nice trucks with extra power, more lights etc. helps attract drivers or keep good drivers.
I live in sweden and didnt even know about svempas amazing workshop full of sick scania builds! You are a verry lucky man. I wish you to have the best of time in my beautiful home country.
Svempa is good guy. Some years a ago he let me and my and my family visit Scania Museum on Saturday even it was closed. Thanks for that 🎉
Thanks, I'm not in the trucking business but wish to be one day when I get old enough. @@tcb1017
Hi Bruce, so awsome for you to meet Svempa, as some one said earlier a legend.
While you are in Stockholm you must visit the Vasa museum, and the Technical Museum.
At Scania head office, they also have a museum, The Wallenberg Hall. Then, obviously, the Demo center.
Great time of the year to test drive in winter conditions too.
Have fun!!
Bruce im a Scania lover for life now for sure. There absolutely a different truck than we have here. Thanks so much for sharing your trip with us. Cant wait for the factory tour. Thanks brother.
Welcome to Europe, Bruce. Have a nice stay. Looking forward to your next videos
Love the Scania Symbol. Reminds me of Saab. I love Swedish engineering. Way ahead of the curve on alot of things. I've had 4 Volvos and a Saab. Looks like I like their rigs too!
Saab and Scania were the same company from 1969 until they split in 1995. I think that's when Saab was purchased by GM
@@davidtoups4684 awesome bit of history to learn right there. Explains the similarities. Thank you
Scania is originally from Malmoe, hence why there is a gripen in the symbol which is Malmoes city coat of arms.
Man what an experience. That's awesome Bruce. That old man is amazing what he has built is mind blowing.
Indeed he is, and you haven't even seen half of it, although you caught all of the model trucks, and all the pictures on the wall.
Yup Sven is a living legend, everyone knows him as a godfather of Scania.
The red truck is super cool.
Did you know there is a Scania community in the Newark, NJ area. Mostly older Scania truck from they were originally imported into the US.
Yup, finally, someone has posted.
Its ABREU Truck Services and very high percentage of the European trucks there are actually from Canada and the rest are imported by European drivers living in the states. That white & red DAF XF with Georgia plates is owned by a good friend of mine from Long Island NY ( Sebastian )
DAF is also a killer rig with ZF on the floor.
Proudly made in Netherlands 👍( or UK, depends on which year)
10:50 The engine you were showing was a Svempa edition 770 V8 special made and they are extremely rare.
Thanks for your honesty Bruce.
It's not easy to come from a country with, lets be honest, iconic trucks. Kenworth, Peterbuilt etc, are seen in the US as iconic and deserve that title. But European trucks don't have the airtime US trucks do, or indeed Hollywood.
European trucks surpassed US trucks around 30 or more yrs ago (imho) in engineering and driver quality comfort and are not really seen. They just do the work and get on with things, that is what a truck is for. It's true we don't get the large living pods as seen on US trucks, but believe me you don't need it if your in a quality truck from Europe.
Enjoy your trip.
P.s For me the most iconic truck in the world is a Scania (144), but I'm also a fan of the Renault Magnum of old.
The strange shape of the front tire wall is called a splash ring. Its for safety. When you drive on wet roads it manage the spray for the traffic around the truck. So cars next to you can keep visibility
I could well be wrong, but l thought it was to protect the side wall from “kerbing”.
Gotta love Scania for inviting you to the factory and HQ in Södertälje. Very good marketing from Scania to show what's available to buy just south of the border to Mexico 😉 Just love the Nextgen series. So nice to drive and so handsome. Premium truck for real 👍
The scania content is awesome, I think you're the only American doing this, 👍👍
Your Chanel is going off the rails Bruce you gonna hit Million in a few.
The tires on the front wheels are for water devertion. That's what that little lip is for, to not make it spray up to much.
Instead it flings all the dirty water over the wing mirrors😂
Or to the cars on the next lane? 😅
Bruce is everywhere! Follow Bruce since he pulled Blue collar out of the bushes. Now in Sweden. Love this content! Keep it up, keep having fun!
Enjoy man, soak it all in 😁 hope you get to check out some of the Volvo's, MAN and such to go with all the Scannia goodies.
There is a reason Scannia has such a strong following but the competition have their merits too. Variety is the spice of life and all.
Friend of mine moved to the us to drive trucks and he was shocked how a cab that's almost 3 times bigger than what we have in Europe, has way less storage space.
It's so nice to hear the thoughts from an American about our euro trucks compared to American trucks. The Scania Next Gen is on another level, having driven many over my years, the thing that stands out to me is the sound of the doors closing, a solid thud, rather then a metallic slap from the others doors
The low profile tyres on the 4 x 2 are used to allow higher cube trailers withing the 4 metre (13 ft 4") overall height laws. The suspension is also lowered.
But what a place to explore - I worked for a Scania Dealer and never got there!
I used to drive a 4x2 low-rider from the UK across Europe for a company called Ewals (DAF 95 SuperSpace 500 at the time). They carry mainly car/truck panels, so light, but need the higher trailers that can still get under the 13'4 bridges. They were a nightmare getting on/off ferries as they would ground out all the time. We usually used the Channel Tunnel though - faster and didn't damage the trucks. The train actually broke down one night half way through so we all had to get off and wait in the central tunnel between the main train tunnels. I think I was the first (maybe only) person to write some graffiti inside the Channel tunnel :) We used to do insane hours back then - mostly driving with the tachos disconnected.
Since the 6x2 is going to the uk i think it’s equipped with 315/80 and 385/65’s, since they dont have to care about the 4m regulation.
The 4x2 is equipped with 315/70 and 385/55 which is pretty normal for a standard height tractor in europe these days, the megas have a lowered chassies/ride height and they are equipped with 295/60 and 385/55 or 355/50 in some cases.
Awesome to see you with max hunt, hope you make some more content with him! A true Danish trucking legend
Yeah, Max Hunt did some really crazy stuff bringing his 770 to the States for family holiday tour around the US
The doors that have opened since you brought that truck ! So cool to see !
Welcome to Sweden! Hope you´ll enjoy the stay and get to see some good looking trucks in the wild as well, even though it´s a dirty season right now...
Elmia season would definitely have been preferable
Now, i drive a competing brand (Volvo) but they're built with the same kind of use in mind as the Scanias.
I work down in the tunnels beneath stockholm at night driving a Volvo dump bed with a pup trailer hauling rocks.
Pulling 120000 pounds of weight up a 9% incline 5-7 times every night, they HAVE to be built tough.
The European trucks in general, and the Swedish ones in particular, are very strong and resilient.
I'm impressed with how much abuse my truck handles, and the Scanias that my colleagues drive are the same way.
Oh, Scania offers the Allison automatics from the factory, there are a few logging trucks that use them here in Sweden.
Hope you Visit Sweden again some time, Bruce.
A meet-and-greet would've been fun!
we are lucky to have the cometition between Volvo and Scania. They make eachother better all the time.
Thank you for going thru the custom shop. Bruce you did a outstanding job with the camera.
Buying that Scania was the best thing ever to happen for you content wise 😁 As a Dane and son of a trucker I've grown up with these trucks, and still I can't stop seeing your videos, well done 👍🏻 Keep it up
By far the best video Bruce had done in a while! I live this kind of content, that’s actually educational about the trucking world.
Wow!
From Florida to Finland and Sweden. You're moving up the ranks Bruce!
Keep up the great content.
Welcome to Europe Bruce! Hope you enjoying it. Nice video, up to the next one.
You are building an awesome channel with all your videos.The custom scania trucks are a touch of class. Think you will have a great productive trip over here in Europe.Enjoy the test track and tour👌
Cheers 🍻to the awesome NEW Friend's you met & for the Tour 🚛🚚
I'm very happy Bruce to see you going further and further... I'm glad you discovered scania and you already have one, these trucks are super different and every surprise you discover we're super happy to see! the Peterbilts,,but the scania world is another world!!!I'm your fan!!!(Brazil)
Been following your channel since you got the first Scania. Blows my mind how different our trucks here in Europe are to yours in the states. I’ve been driving them 10 years and my old man was a truck driver too so it’s all I’ve ever known
Svempa is a legend. He has built the coolest stuff forever. I remember seeing his trucks in magazines in the 80’s. You are One lucky dude to get to visit his shop.
Welcome to Sweden and Scania. I myself work on chassis at the factory in Södertälje and prepare rear axles for assembly. Nice that you opened your eyes to Scania. Enjoy your continued journey. (excuse my bad English).

Those type of front tyres at 9:25 with that lip sticking out around the edge is to stop spray from the road hitting your mirrors and up along the side of the truck as you drive.
Maybe you should check "Scania Longline". People buy a "normal" S or R series, travel too Netherlands, and they do a custom work on the truck, rebuilding the hole truck. a proper Scania longline, with custom interiour, red lights underdash lights (as we call it.. hooker-lights) and a proper roofrail with leds + spotlights on it.. If you do get that over too the U.S... you would level the american truckers far behind you even when being full loaded..
The US only allows old trucks in, unless they are built in the US.
Longlines are very rare and still crazy expensive.
@@knowledgeisgood9645 I think they started offering Longline cab in the 4 series which Bruce already has.
Hooker lights??? 🤔
Oh! Do you mean the lights on the side of the trailer?
We call those "Chicken lights!" It's because a long time ago, people would steal chickens 🐔 off of the trucks as they stopped at intersections in small towns. So the truck drivers would put lights on the trailers so that they could see the chicken thieves approaching and take evasive action! 🤠
Why do you guys call them "Hooker lights"??? 🤔
@@straybullitt It is actually the red interior lights we call "Hooker lights" and not the sidemarkers
If someone is going to reintroduce Scania to the US market and road, open a Scania dealership, I think Bruce is the man
I am told the US only lets old trucks in (15+).
To sell new ones Scania would have to build a new factory in the US.
Scania has to open a factory in the US, or only sell trucks that are older than 15 years, if I am correct.
@@knowledgeisgood964525+ in the US, 15+ in Canada.
@@knowledgeisgood9645, Scania trucks are certified according to UN-ECE, that's required in Europe and large parts of the world. American trucks are certified according to SAE. Without SAE certification, you cannot register a new vehicle.
I think Scania wuold pass SAE certification also if they applied it.@@justcommenting224
Really made my day to see Mattias again, thank you for taking us along for the ride Bruce. Hope that seeing Red Pearl (The Svempa T-Cab) inspires you to try get a T Cab for your fleet.
Great video bruce, you didn't disgrace yourself there seeing as its such a different culture, make sure you check out a "longline" and a "new gen T cab", also the latest stealthy " extended xxl cab,".
Who does the new gen t cab? They stopped in the late 90s in Australia so to see the t cab with the facelift front is amazing too.
Welcome across Bruce.
I was shocked the other way around when I was over in the US working on trucks.
It's like a 1970's time jump back.
After 32yr on the road. Happy to roll along all day in an auto 😝🚚💨💨
Looking forward to the next vids 🤘
Great to see you in Europe, have fun on your insane trip....
The golden VIP tour you got there. I so much wish Scania could come back to the US.
Awesome journey, thank you so much for sharing.
So glad you got the opportunity to see all of this 🔥
Pretty new to your channel Bruce and so far i'm hooked. I love how blown away you are by the trucks we use over here in europe. I am in the UK and drive these so dont know any different. Glad you are enjoying your visit to Scania
Wow. Welcome to Sweden. Hope you will have a great time!
I'm happy for you Bruce. Hard work, and determination pays off. Be safe, and have a great trip.#StayFrosty Bud.
Fantastic video Bruce, keep up the good work.
I have always loved cabovers so the Scania's are totally awsome and I love that they also have v8's in them!!!
Scania has had v8's since 1969. In the 50's they even had a straight 8.
ruclips.net/video/uLb6lKvL7_s/видео.htmlsi=YBBtkgd-2c907Coa
Wow, a few months ago I fell into your channel and now today you see videos from you when you are here in Sweden because you got yourself a Swedish truck, it's just awesome! Crazy fun that Scania Sweden set up and guided so that you get the most out of your time here in Sweden and in Finland by Ville. Shit, I'm looking forward to the upcoming videos //PA Swedish Subscriber
Cool that you are visiting over here. Hope you will enjoy the factory tour. I work as an engineer up in the technical center myself.
I understand everything in the backround, makes me giggle a little bit, NGL.. :D
Loved the R730 6x4 I drove years ago here in New Zealand. Refrigerated semi trailer with quad axles fitted with super singles. Double glazing for the drivers door window was an interesting find.
Nice, i live very close to the Scania factory and i worked there building transmissions between 2008 and 2018. I hope you enjoy your visit 😊
Great video.
Thank you for sharing.
Hey brother this is my first comment ever on any channel. I really enjoy your videos and I’m an old farm boy from N.C.
Hope you have a safe trip and look forward to seeing the rest of your trip! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
You even got to meet Svempa!
Awesome content. Thanks for showing another country's trucks.
Svempa is an old wrecker guy who got in hevvy wreckers and had built a lot of cool trucks . He started with a El Camino and a dolly and got there he is today . My dad and him worked alot in the 70 ś a truly amazing man with a big heart ❤
That you meet Svempa is so cool !!!
Being someone who's just playing Euro Truck Sim 2 and American Truck Sim with a Trustmaster Wheel. I gotta say, our European trucks are just more my thing. The american ones in the game was so stiff and clunky to try and turn, especially with trailer on. Granted i'm aware with more experience it would be less of an issue.
But having spend 200 hours in American Truck Sim with long nosed American Trucks, returing to the Scania i drive in Euro Truck was such a wild change. All of a sudden i felt like i could turn on a dime and move the trailers with ease. The grunt in the engine just got the trailer moving like it was nothing.
I'm enjoying seeing non Europeans being introduced by what's the normal trucks here and hearing all the opinions and thoughts about the differences.
The fans on the front are part of the night cooler keeps the cab cool when the engine is off . Good bit of kit
Now that you had the pleasure visiting both Svempas shop, the Scania factory and Villes company, you should plan a visit to Nordic Trophy, Swedens biggest truck show. Ville should also hook you up so you can visit Mika Auvinen and Juha Ristimaa, Finlands biggest when it comes to custom Scania trucks!!
Great stuff Bruce 👍 you should try and go to Holland 🇳🇱 in Zwolle is A Scania factory were most Scania's are actually built 👍 don't even get me started about all the custom builds over here 😉 you won't know what's happening😂 trust me😉 greetings from a Dutch Trucker
That Irish truck could be going to a company in my town, the colour is right and they only buy Scania. It’ll be cool to see in on the roads over here.
Super cool Bruce, thank you for sharing this with us.
Great stuff.. Svampa is a legend here in the nordics. I still remember the sound from the amazing Scania race truck he drove back in the 80's.
Can't wait to see more of this....Scania rules
Killing it with the Scania content. Love those rigs.
A company in my town in Western Finland owns the original hauler for this truck, I do see it everyday sitting at the garage with the original Svempas text on the front
Welcome to Sweden! It's very cool to have you here. I hope you enjoy your stay even though you caught us mid winter.
I got to say that was the best Scania video so far man them trucks are nice
You can also order them with extended sleeper cabs - so about another 2ft longer cab - they look really cool.
Great to see you Bruce out of states ! Doing good 👍
I remember when I was a kid and Svempa built a crazy Scania 6×6 tow truck!
I so wish they could get a demo truck sent to you for awhile to test with yours and show American truckers and for them to test drive and get a chance to represent Scania in the U.S. even if only for a demo only
Its a really good idea. I know one guy from Denmark did a roadtrip in US, and he got help buy Scania to go over there if i remember correct.
That was Max Hunt! The gentleman that came up from Denmark to visit Bruce. 👍
@@johnnyhomegrownholmgren9999 have miss that part I need to go and se again on that episode
@@snikkaffe : You will see him walk-in-closet with Bruce, when they are going to grab some dinner. 👍
Svempas is a cool son of a gun men😂. A true conoseur and fan of trucking!!!! What a legend!!
I hope you will have a lot of fun and also see the construction site versions, mobile crane (Palfinger) versions with up to 5 axles and the timber transport Scanias
very humble of you to recongnise that there truck are better built and engineer, cheer to your modesty, your a good man , If all american were like you the US would be a better place to live.
The attempt detail and the craftsmanship is awesome… have to say they seem very well built with good quality control
Svempa is a Scania legend, awesome that you got a visit! I'm guessing you were a bit jet lagged? Hope you got a good night sleep!
Edit: If I had finnished the video before I would have known you were jet lagged as you said so, but waiting is not my strong suit.
Killin it bro!! Love these videos as always!! Love theses trucks!!! Keep up the good work!!
Traveling is always nice, you can see so many different things and places and nice people of course. I hope you enjoy your trip.
I'm impressed. I was a truck technician for 25 years and the technology is constantly changing for the better.
