Loving the videos my friend. Thank you for you interaction in the comments, and for showing us Balkan trucking! You should set up channel memberships. I'd love to join & support
Hi Dani. This was an ever changing situation on the roads on this trip. The roads/highways are constantly changing. Very cloudy day but the scenery was still very interesting to watch. Some fog in the higher elevations. Very steep hills to climb later in your video. Be careful of other drivers and stay warm and healthy. 👍👍👍
10:25 nothing personal, but you drive with 80 km/h in a 50 km/h zone. In recent years there are many truck accidents in the villages, mainly because of speeding...
Oh yeah I know, not much what I can do about it. Other trucks are going 80 and more, and whoever is going 50, then everyone are overtaking him in village, and it is even more dangerous when trucks are overtaking in village.
@@MariyanStoykov oh I didn't know that one, do they have some kind of place about this computer, like museum? To check the story about it? Like, what is the story behind those computers?
That long stretch of road that was labeled as an airport was probably built for war times. There is a video of the Bundeswehr from ‘88 where they show F-4 Phantoms, C-160 Transalls, A-10 Warthogs and a few other planes landing on the autobahn.
HEy Dani, I guess you heard the news already but those crazy long waiting times will be a thing of the past, per 1st of january finally Bulgaria and Romania are part of Schengen!
You need to remember that showing your ID and Load paperwork is not the only thing you are doing at the border. (Calafat and Ruse) First of all you are waiting in line to weigh area, where they are checking your weight and if you have Romanian vignette. I doubt that Romanian people will let it go. Second thing is you are stopping, going out from truck to bridge checkpoint, to pay for bridge, with cash or card, you wait for recipe, and then go to your truck and you can go. And those things have nothing to do with being in or out of Schengen. So I bet that line will be still there, but probably a bit shorter. It's going to be a long long time, to a point when crossing between Romania and Bulgaria will be so smooth like between Poland and Slovakia or Slovakia and Hungary.
@@DaniTruckerson Thanks for the clarification! It is unfortunate to see that all those manual steps are limiting a smooth crossing for transport... My dad's an international driver as well but never as far as Bulgaria/Romania
@@DaniTruckerson The bridge crossing at Calafat can be improved. There is another bridge over the Danube in Romania where we pay for the bridge via SMS, Internet or at gas stations. A single fee must be established for trucks, whether they are loaded or empty. Also, now the vignette can be paid electronically for cars and can be checked by TV cameras. The system can be extended to trucks. There are strong professional associations of road transporters in Romania that can ask the authorities to implement these measures.
This airports is use only if have war, or emergency situation. Have couple more. In Botevgrad, big road before autoban, and 2 in autoban for Turkey. (last two not exist any more.)
There are two tunnels being repaired on this highway. Because there is traffic on Fridays from Sofia and on Sundays to Sofia, the trucks are diverted to the old road.
Yes I got this information later on, really not good to do it during winter, with snow those back roads will be really dangerous, but hopefully they will let trucks go via tunnels for winter.
Bulgaria's road network is interesting in lack of better terms. I hate it. The speed limits make no sense at all. Drove several times and i would never again. God only knows how higher was your fuel consumption. Stupid deiversions
It won't end, still there will be Romanian weight area, still drivers have to stop, go out and pay for bridge. It won't be like typical Schengen border.

11:40 you've entered the city in which a copy to Apple computers were made
@@MariyanStoykov oh I didn't know that one, do they have some kind of place about this computer, like museum? To check the story about it? Like, what is the story behind those computers?
@@DaniTruckerson unfortunately there is no physical museum, but there are websites in which you can see the models
@@MariyanStoykov okay, thanks, I will check it out.
That long stretch of road that was labeled as an airport was built for war times for extra landing. Greetings from Bulgaria
Thank you for information, so I used it properly by flying and landing there with my drone 😂
Wow nice job! Greetings from Latvia 🇱🇻
Hey, thanks man 👍👍💪💪
Очень тяжело дается этот транзит по Болгарии, еду и считаю километры: " когда это всё закончится".
Welcome to Bulguria!Damn, good country!😅😢😮😊🎉
@@Zyulkyar-r2u perfect country for summer adventure 😂

Yes exactly man, that's the same I thought, that they have built it for war times. Because place for it was just perfect, no trees, no buildings etc.

@@johnr3599 yes they should implement it fast, and Bulgarian people can integrate payment for the bridge with those boxes that they have for Road tax.
Come on Dani nearly in 🇬🇷 the next video will bring back happy memories for me I used to love Greece 🇬🇷
8:25 this is old reserve airport. Have couple of them.
Interesting, I have never seen one in real life, at the beginning I thought that somewhere around is small airport, but it's the road.
This airports is use only if have war, or emergency situation. Have couple more. In Botevgrad, big road before autoban, and 2 in autoban for Turkey. (last two not exist any more.)
Whats the name of that tacho app? Looks interesting and helpful
It's not app unfortunately, it's genuine Volvo system, that it built into very Volvo Truck.
@DaniTruckerson Oh yea im watching the part 2 and ive seen the Volvo steering wheel icon in there, wow awsome system
There are two tunnels being repaired on this highway. Because there is traffic on Fridays from Sofia and on Sundays to Sofia, the trucks are diverted to the old road.

Any way I see you are speeding in villages. Speed limit there is 50 or no more than 60 km/h!
@@MilkoGeorgiev-r2n and?
👍
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I feel sorry for foreign drivers to drive on our shit roads… Drive safe my friend!
Sofya kirli BAG 😅
Dani how are you doing, today
I'm good man, thanks 👍💪 it's just cold, I'm not a fan of winter 😂
Bulgaria's road network is interesting in lack of better terms. I hate it. The speed limits make no sense at all. Drove several times and i would never again. God only knows how higher was your fuel consumption. Stupid deiversions
Yeah, sometimes speed limits are more like a challenge 😂😂
Hai că de la 1 Ianuarie, se termină problemele. Am intrat în Schengen.
It won't end, still there will be Romanian weight area, still drivers have to stop, go out and pay for bridge.
It won't be like typical Schengen border.
Cel mai bine ar fi, atunci când plătești Rovigneta la întrarea în România să plătești și podul sau podurile.
@@psm767 este adevărat, sper că într-o zi vom putea plăti bridge-ul online. și vor anula această zonă de greutate, pentru a verifica greutatea.
@DaniTruckerson nu mai știm linba română (bridge = pod) ?
@@psm767 yes I mean bridge. You have to pay by card or cash for bridge in Calafat and in Ruse/Giurgiu.
Drive only VOLVO !

I actually don't care, if you don't like it, do not watch. Simple.
What a horrible country...
It's not so bad 😂 could be worse 😂 seriously 😂
