As an Indonesian, i can confirm that our trucking world is vast and confusing. Yet, you managed to cover that in a simple and solid narrative. Good job!
@@blackrx89 in indonesia depends on the job, for heavy duty big truck indonesian prefer hino ranger than the other, fuso canter is the leader market in light duty, isuzu is third For premium big truck & bus mostly indonesian chose volvo or scania, for japanese bus brands mostly we choose hino as intercity/sprinter and mercedez as inter province
Wow the island of Java is practically fully covered with a road network compared to their other islands. I'd be interested in a video on Papua New Guinea or Democratic Republic of Congo.
Cause: wrong policies of the Sukarno & Suharto government who decided that all the developments were focused on Jakarta and its surroundings only. Centralistic government.
As an Indonesian I can say that Asian trucks mainly from Japan is still being the main option in general because of their durability and it is easy and cheap for their maintenance (compared to others). European Trucks such as Scania, Mercedes, MAN with high HP were rarely used in daily except some situations, for instance heavy-haul job, mining, transporting windmill, etc. Sadly I never saw an American trucks such Peterbilt, Mack, Etc. here
I've always enjoyed these videos of yours, but it's been fun to see you iron down more of a format and branding style lately! Edit: just a suggestion, when you give the average truck driver salary for these countries, it could be nice to know how it compares to the overall average salary there, to get a sense of how drivers are paid compared to most professions
Its substantially bigger than minimum wage job, it's comparable to average salary of upper-middle class Indonesian who work as office supervisor or Junior Officer in the military (Salary + bonus)
Like the person above me said its around a middle class salary but not many people want to do it cause its an exhausting job due to lack of job regulatory
@@notusneo Indeed, and because thin or lack of regulation imposed by individual employer, many driver in Indonesia even didn't have real driving license for driving a truck (it's a legit driving license but instead of doing the procedure they/their company just bribe the Police to issue one) so their driving skill is questionable and some of them is have an habit for reckless driving (bus driver too!) My uncle in law just decease about a month ago because got hit by drunken truck driver (which also their neighbor, what an irony), and the driver got bailed out by his company and start seen driving again within a week.
@@pingtime let's be honest, we all purchased our driving license here. Without the bribe good luck getting a driving license within a year or worst case scenario getting it at all
@@notusneo Well hello fellow Indonesian 😂, my Motorbike license is acquired by bribing (since they will certainly failed your essay test on purpose), but my Car and Industrial vehicle driver license (A, B1, B2 public) is acquired without bribe (guess I used all my yearly luck that time).
Nice video. All of points in this video are true. For challenge section, there is additional like security. In some area of Indonesia is prone with hijacking, no matter it's hijacking the cargo or even hijacking the truck. That's why sometimes truck making convoy when passing those area. Other issues about challenge is bribery, which always connected with hijacking. In some area, there's thug having control with support the corrupted institution, which making driver spend money for them to make truck driver's journey safe.
To be honest the "bribery" to thugs is more like extortion. You're only going to be guaranteed safety from *their* own men, not other thugs down the road.
For agricultural logistics, especially on the Java, we usually use reinforced pick-ups and small CDD trucks to get through narrow and winding road conditions. To be honest, in Indonesia, most of the logistics trucks are overloaded. b But indirectly, food commodity prices are not too expensive in big cities. And in Indonesia there is also a "mbois" truck modification culture, which has its own characteristics from other countries.
Nice video chap 👍🏽 As an Indonesian and as a truck-bus lover, I could tell you are greatly simplifying our trucking industry. But, there is some other things that a lot of people didn't know about our trucking industry. 1st. There is a nomenclature of truck's types, differentiate by the number of tyres. - CDE or Colt Diesel Engkel or just called it Engkel, a 4 wheeled 2 axle light duty truck, often carry light cargo such as boxes full of chips from a distributor to shops. Could use it in municipal use. - CDD or Colt Diesel Double or just called it Colt Diesel/Elf, 6 wheeled 2 axle light duty truck with 4 wheel on the driven axle, often carry goods from fields to distributor and sometime deliver it right to the shops. Could use it for municipal usage. - Fuso, a 6/4 wheeled 2 axle medium duty truck that plays the role as same as CDD but in a bit heavier payload. Known worldwide as medium duty 4x2 or 4x4 trucks. - Tronton, a 10/8/6 wheeled 3 axle medium/heavy duty truck with 2 rear axles which has 4 or 2 tyres per axle. Often sends cargo from the factory to the distributor. Also known worldwide as a 6x4 or 6x2 or 6x6 trucks. - Trintin, an 8 wheeled 3 axle medium duty truck with 1 driven axle and 2 steer axles at the front, roled like trontons. Also known worldwide as a 6x2/4 or someone said 6x2F with F stands for Four-Wheel Steering. Trinton, a 12 wheeled 4 axle medium/heavy duty trucks with 2 front and 2 rear axles. Basically a trintin front axles with tronton rear axles. Again, plays the same role as tronton and trintin. Known worldwide as 8x4 or 8x2 or 8x8 trucks. - Triball, a modification from tronton or trinton with an addition of tag axle behind the rearmost axle of original tronton or trinton. Mostly take place in Sumatra where loads are justified by volume, not weight so they make trucks longer. - Trailer, known worldwide as semi-truck or trailer truck which has a tractor head (standard rigid truck with an addition of a Fifth wheel to coupling itself with a semi-trailer). Ranging from 14 up to 26 wheelers, depends on the use of it. - Gandengan, maybe known worldwide as a standard rigid truck with a standard trailer behind it and mostly come from East Java although Central Java and West Java also had those. *Note that CDE, CDD, and Fusos are known because of the 1970s and 1980s, most of the light duty and medium duty 4x2 trucks were Mitsubishi Fusos. Colt Diesel is worldwide known as Canter, and Fuso is worldwide known as Fighter although this nomenclature is change to the name of the truck, not the badge. 2nd. You see that Indonesia often seen with overloaded trucks? That's because of the price between drivers receiving money from company or someone who hired them and the goods price are miserable. Truck drivers are payed like a fraction of the cost, meanwhile the rest either been bribed to the officials or been eated up by the company/someone who hired them. And to makes matters worse, there is still a number of gangs and some official that takes drivers money in order them to get passed safely over an area. But stupidly, our goverment didn't take this to account, they only blame the over loading and over dimension of the truck that cause us losing money without taking deep research of why they do over loading and over dimensioning. 3rd. Most of our trucks are underpowered. Most of them, well, before the Euro4 emission, the engine power was mostly at 260 (ps) or around 258-ish (hp) and one manufacturer only gave 220 (ps) or 218-ish (hp) at max. To compensate that, they gave it high gear ratio transmission and high ratio diffs. That makes some of our trucking companies turn attention to second-hand market for trucks from UK or Japan or Singapore, as they also drive on the left side of the road, because of the higher horsepower they make. The impact is that the manufacturers who losing money because of this second-hand import, mostly from Japan, turn around to government to shut off the imports so as to bought national product even though it is just a CKD built in Indonesia, but they didn't change anything or even improve it. They labeled their products to government as "Love and use local products" and the goverment just said, "Well, that's a great idea, we'll shut the import off and leave the rest up to you all." But, it is still lack the quality (some of it, not all), comfort, safety, and power. Who on earth want to buy severely underpowered, uncomfort, unsafe product even if it's produce back home unless it's improved better and better. 4th. A moving art gallery. Sometimes truckers want to make the truck they drive didn't feel boring, so they got paints or stickers and stick it on the truck, either on the cab, interior, windshield, side windows or even the cargo bay. The open topped cargo bay trucks often had paintings and words behind the rear cargo door that sometimes brings jokes or a meaningful words/paintings. Or for the low cost option, just make words or paintings on rubber mud flaps that spans from left to right on the rear side of the trucks. 5th. Modifications. These modification is unique compared to another country where the side skirt are just some steel pipes or aluminium pipes or stainless steel pipes protected the chassis, exhaust muffler, fuel tanks(s), batteries, tool boxes, spare wheel(s), and braking components (air tanks and regulators). Modifications also happens on the exhaust with some prefer the old school, blown up exhaust muffler and some prefer to modern ones, like Knalpot Serigala which sounds a bit like a wolf, Knalpot Suooosss which implies it's name because the exhaust sounded like "suoooooshhh", etc. Then, the lightings. Some added additional lamps for safety, some added lamps for looks (with LED stripes) and some change the headlamps or stoplamps with another colour. The horns also varied with some prefer standard horn, some prefer aftermarket horn, some prefer Telolet horn, and some prefer fog horn like in the ships across the ocean. Ours also sometimes had the aerodynamic wind deflector mainly in box trucks or semi-trailer trucks. That's some fact of Indonesian trucking that worldwide people may didn't know about.
I can totally approve the second one, and there's also something that always annoys truck drivers in here: some bunch of thieves that called "Bajing Loncat". Just like its name, they will try to hop onto all type of trucks (whether it's rigid / closed rigid, or semi trailers) and steal some of the loads the truck carrys.
Damn. Seeing your comment makes me realize that I don't have a single clue about Indonesia trucking scene even though I'm Indonesian myself. The 3rd point is the interesting one, explaining why Indonesian's truck spec is so sh*t even though trucking is one of the nation economy's backbone. Previously I thought why it's common to see low powered truck on the road is because either that's what people could afford (in personal truck case) or because company's money pinching strategy ("if it can haul the load, then it's good enough" mentality). Also in my thought that even somehow those people could get a hand at a more stronger truck (as in higher HP), they will overload it because the previously mentioned mentality and also what I've thought that most of the overloading trucker is paid by the load. Point 5th? Only the lighting and the horn. Anything else? Not a single clue
@@jabarwicaksonosukmasae6227 saya orang Indonesia bro, Surabaya Paman, tetangga ada yang jadi sopir truk, sehingga sedikit mengerti lika liku sopir truk di jalanan.
Another messed up fact: Isuzu Forward name here is Isuzu GIGA. I would call it fake GIGA for that reason . Chinese trucks are catching up for 300+ps engines (which is what I would not call underpowered). Japan truck brand sells wheelbarrow in shape of trucks, meaning comfort is unheard of (except ud quester). Just like India-ish, 48ton gvw Tata (4825) with cummins b series engine! Go figure. Also, used truck import was allowed until 2014. They came from Japan, UK, Ireland, Singapore, and HK. Siba surya, one of logistics company used UK & Ireland trucks from Morrison's supermarket, Eddie Stobart, etc. Brands are daf, then volvo, and finally Scania. Used JDM trucks, Isuzu are very rare unless if it's a concrete pump. Then goes the Hino. After that, it's either UD or Fuso. Truk gandeng are oftentimes ex Japan unit converted from tanker (6x2 twin steer)
@@bitelaserkhalif A little fun fact: Several of MAN trucks in Indonesia were imported from India, for example: MAN F90 and MAN CLA (An slightly upgraded version of MAN L2000). They ever were used by Pertamina back then, but their probability to seen nowadays is quite small, since some of their fleet is mostly dominated by Hino and Axors.
By the way, don't forget the Chinese Trucks, they are also gain some popularities here in Indonesia (Though not as much as JP and EU trucking brands did), like Shacman, FAW, Foton, Sinotruk & Beiben (Most common to see as a mixer truck / rigid truck), Hongyan / Iveco Hongyan (A rebranded chinese version of Iveco Stralis for the Chinese and several Asian Region). Their appearance is quite rare in some places, but can be common in some places too.
The chinese brands tend to be brand new while the Japs are the old ones. Its also a bit more expensive to buy the japanese brands brand new as compared to the chinese.
My father did have private official chauffeur (my father work at the bank, so he'll have one access to that at least once) who also was a former truck rider. He often tell his experiences to me during his years as a truck driver. From almost falling to the cliff, picking local ghost in the forest to ride, having his payment way too late, to riding together with entire dorm students to their homeland. And i can say it was hard, but certainly has some fun on it
@@billygoatgruff3536 There are stories of people riding late night saw someone on the streetside asking for a ride, when you take them you can feel your vehicle getting heavier and when you arrived at their destination they would disappear. It's also often mentioned that their destination is either a graveyard or in the middle of the forest, they also sometimes scare you after you found out that they're a ghost.
@@esmambo3236 That's super interesting. I have my own Indonesian ghost story (ish), as I used to work on ships. We were sailing past Sumatra towards Java, it was the middle of the night when the helmsman though he saw someone standing next to him. He turned and no one was there, but he saw the figure again but they disappeared yet again when he turned. Setting it to auto he went to look at the bridge wing to see if someone was outside. He immediately came back inside and told the 3rd mate that there was a ghost outside the bridge. 3rd mate sent the helmsman to shake one of the passengers we had onboard, a big Australian catholic priest, and the man came up immediately with no complaints. He went outside and appreantly spoke to the ghost and asked him to leave. When the priest came back inside he gathered the 3rd mate and helmsman in a huddle for a pray and then said the ghost had gone home. At least that was the story told to me outside the galley in the morning. I was stone asleep the whole time.
@@billygoatgruff3536 I like to imagine the conversation between the priest and the ghost go something like, "Yo, my dude, you're freaking out my mates right now. Can you leave for the moment being?" The ghost then happily replied, "Oh, sorry, my bro. I was tryna find my wife or something, but seems I got lost. I'll get off right away."
0:21 that turn over was around my place and I have to tell you, that sh-t is real heartclenching experience. Imagine a row of three truck above you going up. You'll have this constant threat of them suddenly turned off in the middle of turn, slides down and pushed you to a ravine below
12 hours work/day is really true since there's lack of rest area for trucker to take a rest, the rest area they can visit is only in toll roads, meanwhile every trucker only spend 2-4 hours in toll roads so they mostly spend time in local road
Great video, this is the topic i've been waiting for. Just a little bit to add up, Some regulations have been enforced recently however the main problem is just the Traffic Police and the Ministry of Transportation not being able to keep up the law enforcement as some of their members are corrupt. Many drivers are forced to have their trucks overloaded due to the low salary. Not to forget also speeding have also becoming a problem as smaller trucks are forced to get the goods that they are delivering to be on time as the system is just old and needs to be changed. Other than that, Indonesia have many different truck cultures when it comes to modifying their trucks. Each Islands have different kind of trucking cultures. In the Java Island, there would be trucks that are equipped with bodykits and bright colours including bright colourful LED lights. Truck drivers in Sumatra Island have some similiarities with Java truckers as both Islands recently have been provided with better road infrastructure also with improved ferry system. Meanwhile in Borneo and other Islands on the East of Indonesia, there would trucks that are sometimes modified with tons of LED foglights with other off-road spesifications such as higher suspension as the roads of Borneo and other Islands on the East of Indonesia are mostly not paved.
Hey, mate. Thank you again for giving us plebs an insight into the truck operating industry around the world. I know you've covered truck styles and types in different countries but this series gives us something us drivers in other countries can relate to in terms of the job/business itself.
@@mattardyantoriyadi Good then. Already tired seeing news headlines about traffic accidents involving busses nearly everyday on local newspaper. A lot of lives were lost just for some stupid thrill
Great video! You can also add the diesel issue where subsidized diesel are bought by resellers by the side of the road, which markups the price up to almost the same level as premium diesel and takes up the daily quota of the official gas stations, hence making truck drivers queue overnight waiting for the quota the day after, this issue can be mostly seen in Borneo island, but may also happen on the other major islands.
How about a combination of Malaysia and Singapore, next? Both affect each other and are literally joined at the hip so much, during COVID the governments have to work up a agreement/ schemes for the delivery of supplies to Singapore and Malaysia. (Tho it's more for Singapore than Malaysia)
I want to recommend Norwegian trucking as a topic. The geography here in Norway is harsh and the weather is unfavourable all year, especially in winter. There is a trucking tow, recovery and rescue industry that can operate on just the profit from winter season (there is high demand). Most of the truckers come from other European nations, meaning that they are not familiar with the contidions. There is a lot to talk about, and it could be a slightly longer video.
i once watched your "why trucking sims are so popular" video, after that i got the european and australian truck video's reccommended to me once you uploaded them, and i'm a big fan since the start. but I mostly appreciate the constantly improving production quality in the videos, this one was so well put together that i felt like i had to compliment you for it!
Great video man! A small constructive criticism to improve your video on though, you may accept it, or not- your decision. During 1:57-2:08, the display of kph's and mph's are fine at first with the dash symbol (-), but then in 2:05 you introduced a number that is a range and most ranges typically use the dash symbol. And as you used the slash symbol (/) it became extra confusing as kph's and mph's are normally written as kp/h and mp/h. Just a slight design flaw that made it a little bit harder to process. Keep improving man, you got this! 🔥
Great video, the only challenge for truck drivers you forgot to mention are the organized thugs in harassing drivers for "security fees" at night and sleazy cops charging fines for sometimes arbitrary rules
i think most of indonesia truck rules are not enforced well because you can bribe the highway police edit: you should cover indonesia bus culture too. i think their bus are insanely comfy and kinda cool because the tech
Just like what my father said, "The law in Indonesia now even seems to be blunt at the top, but sharp at the bottom. The law enforcers are too busy satisfying their lust, while the society needs them."
Yes the technology is great but sadly the design has becoming mundane and boring af. Wished they build the busses like the ones in Europe or the US Btw no. The problem with why the rules aren't enforced is not because you can bribed the officers but more towards lack of staffs and been neglected as even government officials never seen just how important the trucking industry really is towards the economy You can see this in a lot of "kami tidak makan infrastruktur" type of bullshit
i think a video on the trucking business in general, like hazards and pitfalls that needs to be considered, how the business affects the economy, what are the big international players etc would be quite interesting
Indonesian here, my cousin doing trucking now. From what i've heard, the industries usually give you a time limit, whether you do it quickly or not. Most people are delivering till the end without stop if possible, only sleep for 2 hours if tired. The delivery usually come in 'packet' like for this amount of money you should deliver this max 2 days including oil, toll, thugs, etc. So, the condition isn't good, but better than garment.
@@anditard some are backed by police, there's a paint symbols representing "safety management" Thugs. It depends on how the driver manage the money given to them.
Mind you overloading trucks brings a hell outta money for whoever involved, the company that owns the truck, the driver, the government, and everyone else in between, sacrificing ofc the road, and safety. As an Indonesian i can confirm the "lackluster" law enforcement, in pretty much everything. Except for the obvious ofc, you still cant get away with murder, but less than that? You're somewhat safe, especially if you got money. What about lesser laws and policies? 90% of Indonesians doesn't know, doesn't care.
Can you do a video about Moroccan truck driving? The main truck driving through all Moroccan cities is fairly normal but the truck drivers that go to Africa through muritaina face a lot of risks such as tiny 2 lane roads and gang attacks because the Moroccan Sahara is a place of conflict. There are many documentaries on RUclips addressing the drivers troubles and the dangers they go through in my opinion it would be such a great video in your channel and it would be an honor for my country to be featured in your videos!!
My ex's dad was a trucker serving southern route io java, due to lack of toll roads there, he made decent 300usd a month. And yes the 8hours/day is just a mere suggestion lol
Few more fyis for those interested: (1) Due to the difficult road conditions and natural geography, Indonesian logistics cost is the highest in the region (SEA). This often hinders foreign entities to enter since while the labor cost is low, the high logistic cost itself offsets the benefits. (2) Traffic is so bad that nowadays most trucks only able to make 1 delivery within a rit / trip. (3) The overweight / overload issue is being enforced harder than ever before since 2021, but at the end of the day logistics companies prefer to go overlimit and pay the fines, since going under the limit would end up more costly than the fines. (4) Since the pandemics, more passenger buses now also act as a mid mile carriers.
As An Indonesian, This happens everyday. Go on the Toll Highway find a truck The truck Blows its horn when you pass. The common brands here are. Hino, Mitsubishi FUSO, MAN, DAF, SCANIA, and UD.
2:09 the infamous busses speeding on 2 lane roads. these truck and bus drivers are mental. theyre already going 50-60kmph+ on inner roads, and going even faster on inter-province roads which pretty scary.
those short fuso trucks at night are crazy in indonesia. they drive them so fast hard to catch them even with a car. their bosses dont care how much fuel they use or what lol
Cement mixers in Indonesia uses only Hino, UD, FAW, and Mercedes trucks with UD taking on the crown with their 'Quester' trucks. If you wanted to know about what brands cement mixer trucks is in Indonesia
A years back I was taking a taxi back from school in Jakarta and the taxi driver happened to be an ex-trucker. We struck up a bit of small talk. So there are basically 4, or 5 main islands that truckers usually travel between, those being, pulau of Jawa, Sumatera, Kalimantan, and I forgot the last one. He said that the cross island ferries and the traffic were nightmares, the routes he would take were really tiring, and would put a strain on him especially when in traffic. My memory is a bit shakey, so there may be omissions. but he was a cool dude. TL:DR truck go vroom se details
A honorable mention would be the pickup drivers that sends farmer goods from city to city or even another province. Mostly dominated by mitsubishi Colt L300. Its small but they are independent.
The way i see it on the ground: 1. truck driving is one of the most lucrative common job in Indonesia. 2. it is common for truck drivers here to work 18+ hours a day due to deadlines. 3. Most of the job related death happens in the countryside where the road is ridiculous and carjackers are rampant.
I don't even know why I watch all your videos about trucking all around the world I'm not a truck driver nor am I interested in trucks in any way and yet these videos are for some reason so enjoyable I still watch every single one lol
Just this morning I met 5 trucks doing convoy overloaded with rocks and dirt. They walk 20km/h 😭😂. Even 1.5L small petrol pickup are hauling 3000 kgs here
You only talks about small portion of Indonesian trucking, in fact most of Indonesian trucks are medium or small sized, because they are fast, and can go cross country way much better than large sized trucks. Indonesian truck driver would modify their trucks by painting the bed, put colorful stickers representing their community and etc, they also put some inspiring motivation quotes, or sometimes innuendo jokes, they also love to put giant stickers of women in the back. Indonesian truck community also have deadly trend called "oleng". Basically truck drivers deliberately make their truck almost roll over at high speed.
there's a dark side about truck drivers in Indonesia, it often happens that a truck hits another vehicle on the road. what makes it sad is, if the victim who was hit by the truck is still alive, the drivers are instructed by the truck owner to make sure the victim dies. because the truck owner does not want to pay for prolonged medical expenses (especially if the victim become permanently physical disabled). if the victim dies, the truck owner only need to pay funeral expenses and compensation money. most of the driver obey this"instructions"because they're afraid on getting fired.
The trucking in Indonesia it's same as another Southern asia it's tight road, very much potholes, busy road with horrible traffic driving, that's kinda a bit harder here
My father's friend owns a trucking company and you can not believe the Return on Investment the business does, they make hundreds of millions of rupiahs per year with a bunch of cattle-carrying trucks. I guess you could say a few yellow trucks goes a long way
Indonesian trucker is usually 2 man crew with sometimes bringing their wife and kids along to travel the Country so that 15 hour a day is mostly split they're healthy aside from coffee and cigarettes addiction
Its nice, I hope you personally can dive to Indonesian (or javanese and sumatran) truck culture more deeply It has deep roots in daily live Example: The phenomenon of "bajing lumpat" or jumping squirel which happen a lot in sumatra. Basically some people with motorcycle jump to the truck and steal the things on their truck. Or The pantura culture (an interconnected north java road which span from one end to the other of java. Pantura mean pantai utara or north beaches ). Which a lot of bus driver connect to each other and build some hub and living. Some of the hub fluorish a lot from the truck culture. And not forgetting the culture of painting the back of a truck with various funny or motivational words and picure.
Here is a list: 2:30 Never heard Sepakat group, but it's looks like came from Sumatra island. 2:32 Can't find the Region, it's write "BI" ? but there is no region that have a plate code BI. 2:33 It's looks like Magelang region. 2:35 Looks like from Sumatra island again. 2:37 "BP" came from Riau Island. and SJL should be the short for it's company. while most Indonesian who use Europe and America brand, is for big project, for example mining. at 4:25 you see Indonesia state own truck that deliver refined oil to gas station, as I heard from my parents the driver is limited only to work until 45 years old. pretty early, and they do get a pension, but the pension is so small that they are looking for a new place to work. sadly at that time I doesn't have a truck to spare, so we cannot hire him. There is still a lot thing to do, I will admit that my driver work long anough, but the way Indonesian warehousing still have a lot of mess. like basicly unloading an item take 1 days. and loading a goods to container may take 1 and half days for 1 container.
sekali2 keluar pulau bro, Sepakat Group itu truk Aceh, satu pemilik dengan bus Simpati Star. itu bukan BI tapi BL, plat ACEH, itu di pelabuhan Belawan. Tahu Belawan di mana? Medan, Sumatra Utara
Some Truck driver buy their own truck. Most of it is algiculture freight driver like chilli, garlic, veggie, etc. They work without company etc. Relative of mine is truck driver in here
People talk about the road condition all the time, but people never ask how the ro- Real talk, look at those TREES. There's so many TREES hanging over the road! If a car hauler hits one of those, the vehicle effected may have to be completely totaled. It's great for the anxiety when you've got a bunch of 90k f-150's on top of your rig and there's a heccin' BRANCH right in front of you.
Trees aren't the problem as they were quite taken care off. My father side of the family lives near the national road and I often see local government employees bringing in gondolas to cutting the excess branch etc outside my uncle's house. They do it at least 3x a year

Like the person above me said its around a middle class salary but not many people want to do it cause its an exhausting job due to lack of job regulatory
@@notusneo Indeed, and because thin or lack of regulation imposed by individual employer, many driver in Indonesia even didn't have real driving license for driving a truck (it's a legit driving license but instead of doing the procedure they/their company just bribe the Police to issue one) so their driving skill is questionable and some of them is have an habit for reckless driving (bus driver too!) My uncle in law just decease about a month ago because got hit by drunken truck driver (which also their neighbor, what an irony), and the driver got bailed out by his company and start seen driving again within a week.
@@pingtime let's be honest, we all purchased our driving license here. Without the bribe good luck getting a driving license within a year or worst case scenario getting it at all
@@notusneo Well hello fellow Indonesian 😂, my Motorbike license is acquired by bribing (since they will certainly failed your essay test on purpose), but my Car and Industrial vehicle driver license (A, B1, B2 public) is acquired without bribe (guess I used all my yearly luck that time).
There's an interesting sub-culture within indonesian trucker communities. It is called "Shaky Trucks". They're polarizing.
Yea, they are mostly more common to see on CDD (Colt Diesel Double) Trucks.
@@ENRNDFR most notable, yeah. Can't do such "acrobative" move on large trailer trucks evidently.
Mad man who almost make accident
Is it "shaky trucks" mean "oleng" that yelled by kids on the roadside?
@@bagasnuradi Yup, those kids always shouting "Oleng om!" whenever one of these shaky trucks passing by. And yea, it's called "Truk oleng"
Nice video. All of points in this video are true. For challenge section, there is additional like security. In some area of Indonesia is prone with hijacking, no matter it's hijacking the cargo or even hijacking the truck. That's why sometimes truck making convoy when passing those area. Other issues about challenge is bribery, which always connected with hijacking. In some area, there's thug having control with support the corrupted institution, which making driver spend money for them to make truck driver's journey safe.
To be honest the "bribery" to thugs is more like extortion. You're only going to be guaranteed safety from *their* own men, not other thugs down the road.
For agricultural logistics, especially on the Java, we usually use reinforced pick-ups and small CDD trucks to get through narrow and winding road conditions.
To be honest, in Indonesia, most of the logistics trucks are overloaded. b
But indirectly, food commodity prices are not too expensive in big cities.
And in Indonesia there is also a "mbois" truck modification culture, which has its own characteristics from other countries.
Nice video chap 👍🏽
As an Indonesian and as a truck-bus lover, I could tell you are greatly simplifying our trucking industry. But, there is some other things that a lot of people didn't know about our trucking industry.
1st. There is a nomenclature of truck's types, differentiate by the number of tyres.
- CDE or Colt Diesel Engkel or just called it Engkel, a 4 wheeled 2 axle light duty truck, often carry light cargo such as boxes full of chips from a distributor to shops. Could use it in municipal use.
- CDD or Colt Diesel Double or just called it Colt Diesel/Elf, 6 wheeled 2 axle light duty truck with 4 wheel on the driven axle, often carry goods from fields to distributor and sometime deliver it right to the shops. Could use it for municipal usage.
- Fuso, a 6/4 wheeled 2 axle medium duty truck that plays the role as same as CDD but in a bit heavier payload. Known worldwide as medium duty 4x2 or 4x4 trucks.
- Tronton, a 10/8/6 wheeled 3 axle medium/heavy duty truck with 2 rear axles which has 4 or 2 tyres per axle. Often sends cargo from the factory to the distributor. Also known worldwide as a 6x4 or 6x2 or 6x6 trucks.
- Trintin, an 8 wheeled 3 axle medium duty truck with 1 driven axle and 2 steer axles at the front, roled like trontons. Also known worldwide as a 6x2/4 or someone said 6x2F with F stands for Four-Wheel Steering.
Trinton, a 12 wheeled 4 axle medium/heavy duty trucks with 2 front and 2 rear axles. Basically a trintin front axles with tronton rear axles. Again, plays the same role as tronton and trintin. Known worldwide as 8x4 or 8x2 or 8x8 trucks.
- Triball, a modification from tronton or trinton with an addition of tag axle behind the rearmost axle of original tronton or trinton. Mostly take place in Sumatra where loads are justified by volume, not weight so they make trucks longer.
- Trailer, known worldwide as semi-truck or trailer truck which has a tractor head (standard rigid truck with an addition of a Fifth wheel to coupling itself with a semi-trailer). Ranging from 14 up to 26 wheelers, depends on the use of it.
- Gandengan, maybe known worldwide as a standard rigid truck with a standard trailer behind it and mostly come from East Java although Central Java and West Java also had those.
*Note that CDE, CDD, and Fusos are known because of the 1970s and 1980s, most of the light duty and medium duty 4x2 trucks were Mitsubishi Fusos. Colt Diesel is worldwide known as Canter, and Fuso is worldwide known as Fighter although this nomenclature is change to the name of the truck, not the badge.
2nd. You see that Indonesia often seen with overloaded trucks? That's because of the price between drivers receiving money from company or someone who hired them and the goods price are miserable. Truck drivers are payed like a fraction of the cost, meanwhile the rest either been bribed to the officials or been eated up by the company/someone who hired them. And to makes matters worse, there is still a number of gangs and some official that takes drivers money in order them to get passed safely over an area. But stupidly, our goverment didn't take this to account, they only blame the over loading and over dimension of the truck that cause us losing money without taking deep research of why they do over loading and over dimensioning.
3rd. Most of our trucks are underpowered. Most of them, well, before the Euro4 emission, the engine power was mostly at 260 (ps) or around 258-ish (hp) and one manufacturer only gave 220 (ps) or 218-ish (hp) at max. To compensate that, they gave it high gear ratio transmission and high ratio diffs. That makes some of our trucking companies turn attention to second-hand market for trucks from UK or Japan or Singapore, as they also drive on the left side of the road, because of the higher horsepower they make. The impact is that the manufacturers who losing money because of this second-hand import, mostly from Japan, turn around to government to shut off the imports so as to bought national product even though it is just a CKD built in Indonesia, but they didn't change anything or even improve it. They labeled their products to government as "Love and use local products" and the goverment just said, "Well, that's a great idea, we'll shut the import off and leave the rest up to you all." But, it is still lack the quality (some of it, not all), comfort, safety, and power. Who on earth want to buy severely underpowered, uncomfort, unsafe product even if it's produce back home unless it's improved better and better.
4th. A moving art gallery. Sometimes truckers want to make the truck they drive didn't feel boring, so they got paints or stickers and stick it on the truck, either on the cab, interior, windshield, side windows or even the cargo bay. The open topped cargo bay trucks often had paintings and words behind the rear cargo door that sometimes brings jokes or a meaningful words/paintings. Or for the low cost option, just make words or paintings on rubber mud flaps that spans from left to right on the rear side of the trucks.
5th. Modifications. These modification is unique compared to another country where the side skirt are just some steel pipes or aluminium pipes or stainless steel pipes protected the chassis, exhaust muffler, fuel tanks(s), batteries, tool boxes, spare wheel(s), and braking components (air tanks and regulators). Modifications also happens on the exhaust with some prefer the old school, blown up exhaust muffler and some prefer to modern ones, like Knalpot Serigala which sounds a bit like a wolf, Knalpot Suooosss which implies it's name because the exhaust sounded like "suoooooshhh", etc. Then, the lightings. Some added additional lamps for safety, some added lamps for looks (with LED stripes) and some change the headlamps or stoplamps with another colour. The horns also varied with some prefer standard horn, some prefer aftermarket horn, some prefer Telolet horn, and some prefer fog horn like in the ships across the ocean. Ours also sometimes had the aerodynamic wind deflector mainly in box trucks or semi-trailer trucks.
That's some fact of Indonesian trucking that worldwide people may didn't know about.
I can totally approve the second one, and there's also something that always annoys truck drivers in here: some bunch of thieves that called "Bajing Loncat". Just like its name, they will try to hop onto all type of trucks (whether it's rigid / closed rigid, or semi trailers) and steal some of the loads the truck carrys.
Damn. Seeing your comment makes me realize that I don't have a single clue about Indonesia trucking scene even though I'm Indonesian myself.
The 3rd point is the interesting one, explaining why Indonesian's truck spec is so sh*t even though trucking is one of the nation economy's backbone. Previously I thought why it's common to see low powered truck on the road is because either that's what people could afford (in personal truck case) or because company's money pinching strategy ("if it can haul the load, then it's good enough" mentality). Also in my thought that even somehow those people could get a hand at a more stronger truck (as in higher HP), they will overload it because the previously mentioned mentality and also what I've thought that most of the overloading trucker is paid by the load.
Point 5th? Only the lighting and the horn. Anything else? Not a single clue
@@jabarwicaksonosukmasae6227 saya orang Indonesia bro, Surabaya
Paman, tetangga ada yang jadi sopir truk, sehingga sedikit mengerti lika liku sopir truk di jalanan.
Another messed up fact: Isuzu Forward name here is Isuzu GIGA. I would call it fake GIGA for that reason .
Chinese trucks are catching up for 300+ps engines (which is what I would not call underpowered). Japan truck brand sells wheelbarrow in shape of trucks, meaning comfort is unheard of (except ud quester). Just like India-ish, 48ton gvw Tata (4825) with cummins b series engine! Go figure.
Also, used truck import was allowed until 2014. They came from Japan, UK, Ireland, Singapore, and HK. Siba surya, one of logistics company used UK & Ireland trucks from Morrison's supermarket, Eddie Stobart, etc. Brands are daf, then volvo, and finally Scania.
Used JDM trucks, Isuzu are very rare unless if it's a concrete pump. Then goes the Hino. After that, it's either UD or Fuso. Truk gandeng are oftentimes ex Japan unit converted from tanker (6x2 twin steer)
@@bitelaserkhalif A little fun fact: Several of MAN trucks in Indonesia were imported from India, for example: MAN F90 and MAN CLA (An slightly upgraded version of MAN L2000).
They ever were used by Pertamina back then, but their probability to seen nowadays is quite small, since some of their fleet is mostly dominated by Hino and Axors.
By the way, don't forget the Chinese Trucks, they are also gain some popularities here in Indonesia (Though not as much as JP and EU trucking brands did), like Shacman, FAW, Foton, Sinotruk & Beiben (Most common to see as a mixer truck / rigid truck), Hongyan / Iveco Hongyan (A rebranded chinese version of Iveco Stralis for the Chinese and several Asian Region).
Their appearance is quite rare in some places, but can be common in some places too.
The chinese brands tend to be brand new while the Japs are the old ones. Its also a bit more expensive to buy the japanese brands brand new as compared to the chinese.
The fact that Shaqman unironically exists as a truck brand is funny for some reason.
Also, its high time Yukon made a Chinese trucking video
@@MikoyanGurevichMiG21 that's basically gonna be
Chinese Trucking : overloading 101😆
I've never heard any of those truk brands except for FAW and Foton which is quite popular but only on the harbor and its surrounding areas
My father did have private official chauffeur (my father work at the bank, so he'll have one access to that at least once) who also was a former truck rider. He often tell his experiences to me during his years as a truck driver. From almost falling to the cliff, picking local ghost in the forest to ride, having his payment way too late, to riding together with entire dorm students to their homeland. And i can say it was hard, but certainly has some fun on it
Bro you need to give us more details on picking up the ghost. That sounds like a mad interesting story.
@@billygoatgruff3536 There are stories of people riding late night saw someone on the streetside asking for a ride, when you take them you can feel your vehicle getting heavier and when you arrived at their destination they would disappear. It's also often mentioned that their destination is either a graveyard or in the middle of the forest, they also sometimes scare you after you found out that they're a ghost.
@@esmambo3236 That's super interesting. I have my own Indonesian ghost story (ish), as I used to work on ships. We were sailing past Sumatra towards Java, it was the middle of the night when the helmsman though he saw someone standing next to him. He turned and no one was there, but he saw the figure again but they disappeared yet again when he turned. Setting it to auto he went to look at the bridge wing to see if someone was outside. He immediately came back inside and told the 3rd mate that there was a ghost outside the bridge. 3rd mate sent the helmsman to shake one of the passengers we had onboard, a big Australian catholic priest, and the man came up immediately with no complaints. He went outside and appreantly spoke to the ghost and asked him to leave. When the priest came back inside he gathered the 3rd mate and helmsman in a huddle for a pray and then said the ghost had gone home.
At least that was the story told to me outside the galley in the morning. I was stone asleep the whole time.
@@billygoatgruff3536 I like to imagine the conversation between the priest and the ghost go something like, "Yo, my dude, you're freaking out my mates right now. Can you leave for the moment being?" The ghost then happily replied, "Oh, sorry, my bro. I was tryna find my wife or something, but seems I got lost. I'll get off right away."
@@GalluZ 😆
Priest: Nah you g mate, I knew you were chill like that.
That would be have been hilarious.
0:21 that turn over was around my place and I have to tell you, that sh-t is real heartclenching experience.
Imagine a row of three truck above you going up. You'll have this constant threat of them suddenly turned off in the middle of turn, slides down and pushed you to a ravine below
12 hours work/day is really true since there's lack of rest area for trucker to take a rest, the rest area they can visit is only in toll roads, meanwhile every trucker only spend 2-4 hours in toll roads so they mostly spend time in local road
Great video, this is the topic i've been waiting for.
Just a little bit to add up,
Some regulations have been enforced recently however the main problem is just the Traffic Police and the Ministry of Transportation not being able to keep up the law enforcement as some of their members are corrupt. Many drivers are forced to have their trucks overloaded due to the low salary. Not to forget also speeding have also becoming a problem as smaller trucks are forced to get the goods that they are delivering to be on time as the system is just old and needs to be changed.
Other than that, Indonesia have many different truck cultures when it comes to modifying their trucks. Each Islands have different kind of trucking cultures.
In the Java Island, there would be trucks that are equipped with bodykits and bright colours including bright colourful LED lights. Truck drivers in Sumatra Island have some similiarities with Java truckers as both Islands recently have been provided with better road infrastructure also with improved ferry system. Meanwhile in Borneo and other Islands on the East of Indonesia, there would trucks that are sometimes modified with tons of LED foglights with other off-road spesifications such as higher suspension as the roads of Borneo and other Islands on the East of Indonesia are mostly not paved.
Hey, mate. Thank you again for giving us plebs an insight into the truck operating industry around the world. I know you've covered truck styles and types in different countries but this series gives us something us drivers in other countries can relate to in terms of the job/business itself.
The way the buses drive is crazy. Deserves a video on its own. Look up Initial D with indonesian bus its insane.
Now sadly it's slowly gone. At least on java island where the government on each provinces here are putting a tons of cameras.
@@mattardyantoriyadi Good then. Already tired seeing news headlines about traffic accidents involving busses nearly everyday on local newspaper. A lot of lives were lost just for some stupid thrill
@@mattardyantoriyadi I'm sick of those bus drive so recklessly. Good riddance
Great video! You can also add the diesel issue where subsidized diesel are bought by resellers by the side of the road, which markups the price up to almost the same level as premium diesel and takes up the daily quota of the official gas stations, hence making truck drivers queue overnight waiting for the quota the day after, this issue can be mostly seen in Borneo island, but may also happen on the other major islands.
How about a combination of Malaysia and Singapore, next?
Both affect each other and are literally joined at the hip so much, during COVID the governments have to work up a agreement/ schemes for the delivery of supplies to Singapore and Malaysia. (Tho it's more for Singapore than Malaysia)
I want to recommend Norwegian trucking as a topic. The geography here in Norway is harsh and the weather is unfavourable all year, especially in winter. There is a trucking tow, recovery and rescue industry that can operate on just the profit from winter season (there is high demand). Most of the truckers come from other European nations, meaning that they are not familiar with the contidions.
There is a lot to talk about, and it could be a slightly longer video.
Fun fact: Indonesia used to have national truck brand by the name of "Perkasa" by PT Texmaco
i once watched your "why trucking sims are so popular" video, after that i got the european and australian truck video's reccommended to me once you uploaded them, and i'm a big fan since the start. but I mostly appreciate the constantly improving production quality in the videos, this one was so well put together that i felt like i had to compliment you for it!
Greetings from Indonesia! Wishing you well!
Great video man! A small constructive criticism to improve your video on though, you may accept it, or not- your decision.
During 1:57-2:08, the display of kph's and mph's are fine at first with the dash symbol (-), but then in 2:05 you introduced a number that is a range and most ranges typically use the dash symbol. And as you used the slash symbol (/) it became extra confusing as kph's and mph's are normally written as kp/h and mp/h. Just a slight design flaw that made it a little bit harder to process. Keep improving man, you got this! 🔥
Great video, the only challenge for truck drivers you forgot to mention are the organized thugs in harassing drivers for "security fees" at night and sleazy cops charging fines for sometimes arbitrary rules
i think most of indonesia truck rules are not enforced well because you can bribe the highway police
edit: you should cover indonesia bus culture too. i think their bus are insanely comfy and kinda cool because the tech
Just like what my father said,
"The law in Indonesia now even seems to be blunt at the top, but sharp at the bottom. The law enforcers are too busy satisfying their lust, while the society needs them."
Yes the technology is great but sadly the design has becoming mundane and boring af. Wished they build the busses like the ones in Europe or the US
Btw no. The problem with why the rules aren't enforced is not because you can bribed the officers but more towards lack of staffs and been neglected as even government officials never seen just how important the trucking industry really is towards the economy
You can see this in a lot of "kami tidak makan infrastruktur" type of bullshit
Whoho! Finally Indonesia is covered
i think a video on the trucking business in general, like hazards and pitfalls that needs to be considered, how the business affects the economy, what are the big international players etc would be quite interesting
Never would I have thought of learning about my own country's trucking world at 11PM but here I am.
Indonesian here, my cousin doing trucking now. From what i've heard, the industries usually give you a time limit, whether you do it quickly or not. Most people are delivering till the end without stop if possible, only sleep for 2 hours if tired. The delivery usually come in 'packet' like for this amount of money you should deliver this max 2 days including oil, toll, thugs, etc. So, the condition isn't good, but better than garment.
LOL Thugs. Very essential for truck driver to have spare cash. In case they met them
@@anditard some are backed by police, there's a paint symbols representing "safety management" Thugs. It depends on how the driver manage the money given to them.
Mind you overloading trucks brings a hell outta money for whoever involved, the company that owns the truck, the driver, the government, and everyone else in between, sacrificing ofc the road, and safety.
As an Indonesian i can confirm the "lackluster" law enforcement, in pretty much everything. Except for the obvious ofc, you still cant get away with murder, but less than that? You're somewhat safe, especially if you got money. What about lesser laws and policies? 90% of Indonesians doesn't know, doesn't care.
Om telolet om!
Also there are crazy yt videos. Truly no restrictions, you see truck beds with just one rear axle in middle. Like smack in middle
only 19 seconds ago? also, its trucking time 🤠
Finally, thank you for making a video about us :)
Can you do a video about Moroccan truck driving? The main truck driving through all Moroccan cities is fairly normal but the truck drivers that go to Africa through muritaina face a lot of risks such as tiny 2 lane roads and gang attacks because the Moroccan Sahara is a place of conflict. There are many documentaries on RUclips addressing the drivers troubles and the dangers they go through in my opinion it would be such a great video in your channel and it would be an honor for my country to be featured in your videos!!
Waiting for Hawaiian trucking. I know it's part of the us, but still would be interested to see
My ex's dad was a trucker serving southern route io java, due to lack of toll roads there, he made decent 300usd a month. And yes the 8hours/day is just a mere suggestion lol
This was very well written and detailed! Thanks for sharing our small island trucking force :)
God bless this channel. Hope sponsorships will come soon enough.
Few more fyis for those interested: (1) Due to the difficult road conditions and natural geography, Indonesian logistics cost is the highest in the region (SEA). This often hinders foreign entities to enter since while the labor cost is low, the high logistic cost itself offsets the benefits. (2) Traffic is so bad that nowadays most trucks only able to make 1 delivery within a rit / trip. (3) The overweight / overload issue is being enforced harder than ever before since 2021, but at the end of the day logistics companies prefer to go overlimit and pay the fines, since going under the limit would end up more costly than the fines. (4) Since the pandemics, more passenger buses now also act as a mid mile carriers.
As An Indonesian, This happens everyday. Go on the Toll Highway find a truck The truck Blows its horn when you pass. The common brands here are. Hino, Mitsubishi FUSO, MAN, DAF, SCANIA, and UD.
Basuri ❤❤❤
Everyday i head to school and i see like 50 gigantic trucks, I'd say im quite fascinated, I live near a port anyways.
2:09 the infamous busses speeding on 2 lane roads.
these truck and bus drivers are mental.
theyre already going 50-60kmph+ on inner roads, and going even faster on inter-province roads which pretty scary.
those short fuso trucks at night are crazy in indonesia. they drive them so fast hard to catch them even with a car. their bosses dont care how much fuel they use or what lol
Great video as always. I wonder what could be said about cement mixers?
Cement mixers in Indonesia uses only Hino, UD, FAW, and Mercedes trucks with UD taking on the crown with their 'Quester' trucks. If you wanted to know about what brands cement mixer trucks is in Indonesia
Honey, wake up. Yukon finally dropped the Indonesian Trucking vid
Nice. Also Finland next
maybe nordic trucking next? I find it to be interesting
How do you make video about trucks interesting!?😂
A years back I was taking a taxi back from school in Jakarta and the taxi driver happened to be an ex-trucker. We struck up a bit of small talk. So there are basically 4, or 5 main islands that truckers usually travel between, those being, pulau of Jawa, Sumatera, Kalimantan, and I forgot the last one. He said that the cross island ferries and the traffic were nightmares, the routes he would take were really tiring, and would put a strain on him especially when in traffic. My memory is a bit shakey, so there may be omissions. but he was a cool dude.
TL:DR truck go vroom
se details
A honorable mention would be the pickup drivers that sends farmer goods from city to city or even another province. Mostly dominated by mitsubishi Colt L300.
Its small but they are independent.
Make a video on cab under trucks!
I love these vids.
There was a vid about Russian ice trucking what about not russian ice trucking?
rest in peace to that motorcyclist who didn't stop during the landslide
The way i see it on the ground:
1. truck driving is one of the most lucrative common job in Indonesia.
2. it is common for truck drivers here to work 18+ hours a day due to deadlines.
3. Most of the job related death happens in the countryside where the road is ridiculous and carjackers are rampant.
man got 3x average indonesian salary just by being a truck driver. cant underestimate them ever again.
I don't even know why I watch all your videos about trucking all around the world I'm not a truck driver nor am I interested in trucks in any way and yet these videos are for some reason so enjoyable I still watch every single one lol
Just this morning I met 5 trucks doing convoy overloaded with rocks and dirt. They walk 20km/h 😭😂. Even 1.5L small petrol pickup are hauling 3000 kgs here
Amazing video and channel!!! Could you do a French trucking video?
You only talks about small portion of Indonesian trucking, in fact most of Indonesian trucks are medium or small sized, because they are fast, and can go cross country way much better than large sized trucks. Indonesian truck driver would modify their trucks by painting the bed, put colorful stickers representing their community and etc, they also put some inspiring motivation quotes, or sometimes innuendo jokes, they also love to put giant stickers of women in the back. Indonesian truck community also have deadly trend called "oleng". Basically truck drivers deliberately make their truck almost roll over at high speed.
finally, been waiting for this.
Nice video dude!
Things I learn from Indonesian:
1) Wkwkwk
2) Teh Botol Sosro
3) Om telolet om
4) bakso
Don't forget the word k*ontol and n*gentot that's worldwide famous now thanks to DOTA and CS:GO games
Talk about Saudi Arabian trucking because we have cabovers and medium duty conventional cab trucks
Most cabovers Are European like Mercedes Benz Scania Iveco Volvo and a Little Bit of Renault Trucks
Good video!
But why did you show Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan as part of China?
there's a dark side about truck drivers in Indonesia, it often happens that a truck hits another vehicle on the road. what makes it sad is, if the victim who was hit by the truck is still alive, the drivers are instructed by the truck owner to make sure the victim dies. because the truck owner does not want to pay for prolonged medical expenses (especially if the victim become permanently physical disabled). if the victim dies, the truck owner only need to pay funeral expenses and compensation money. most of the driver obey this"instructions"because they're afraid on getting fired.
The trucking in Indonesia it's same as another Southern asia it's tight road, very much potholes, busy road with horrible traffic driving, that's kinda a bit harder here
My father's friend owns a trucking company and you can not believe the Return on Investment the business does, they make hundreds of millions of rupiahs per year with a bunch of cattle-carrying trucks.
I guess you could say a few yellow trucks goes a long way
This is a w series, I don't even care about trucks but this is cool
0:51 I suspect you mean 338,320 miles
whoops
Indonesian trucker is usually 2 man crew with sometimes bringing their wife and kids along to travel the Country so that 15 hour a day is mostly split they're healthy aside from coffee and cigarettes addiction
Idk why but these truck videos are really interesting
I would honestly love a video on the South African trucking industry as someone who grew up around it.
great explanation keep it up
This is cool, thanks
Its nice, I hope you personally can dive to Indonesian (or javanese and sumatran) truck culture more deeply
It has deep roots in daily live
Example:
The phenomenon of "bajing lumpat" or jumping squirel which happen a lot in sumatra. Basically some people with motorcycle jump to the truck and steal the things on their truck.
Or
The pantura culture (an interconnected north java road which span from one end to the other of java. Pantura mean pantai utara or north beaches ). Which a lot of bus driver connect to each other and build some hub and living. Some of the hub fluorish a lot from the truck culture. And not forgetting the culture of painting the back of a truck with various funny or motivational words and picure.
I like trucks. They are underappreciated but very important for our daily lives 😊
Here is a list:
2:30 Never heard Sepakat group, but it's looks like came from Sumatra island.
2:32 Can't find the Region, it's write "BI" ? but there is no region that have a plate code BI.
2:33 It's looks like Magelang region.
2:35 Looks like from Sumatra island again.
2:37 "BP" came from Riau Island. and SJL should be the short for it's company.
while most Indonesian who use Europe and America brand, is for big project, for example mining.
at 4:25 you see Indonesia state own truck that deliver refined oil to gas station, as I heard from my parents the driver is limited only to work until 45 years old.
pretty early, and they do get a pension, but the pension is so small that they are looking for a new place to work.
sadly at that time I doesn't have a truck to spare, so we cannot hire him.
There is still a lot thing to do, I will admit that my driver work long anough, but the way Indonesian warehousing still have a lot of mess.
like basicly unloading an item take 1 days.
and loading a goods to container may take 1 and half days for 1 container.
sekali2 keluar pulau bro,
Sepakat Group itu truk Aceh, satu pemilik dengan bus Simpati Star.
itu bukan BI tapi BL, plat ACEH, itu di pelabuhan Belawan. Tahu Belawan di mana? Medan, Sumatra Utara
Some Truck driver buy their own truck. Most of it is algiculture freight driver like chilli, garlic, veggie, etc. They work without company etc. Relative of mine is truck driver in here
Could you do Finland or Sweden (preferably Finland) in the future? Or just Nordic Trucking as a whole.
People talk about the road condition all the time, but people never ask how the ro-
Real talk, look at those TREES. There's so many TREES hanging over the road! If a car hauler hits one of those, the vehicle effected may have to be completely totaled. It's great for the anxiety when you've got a bunch of 90k f-150's on top of your rig and there's a heccin' BRANCH right in front of you.
Trees aren't the problem as they were quite taken care off. My father side of the family lives near the national road and I often see local government employees bringing in gondolas to cutting the excess branch etc outside my uncle's house. They do it at least 3x a year

you should do the trucking industry of el salvador i’d like to see a video of my country
As an Indonesian, I strongly agree 👍
Mister Yukon please can you do a video on forklifts. specifically narrow aisle. but doing all of them would be great too/
It has been a long time I've been perplexed like how an archipelago country relies transport heavy on roads. The roadage percentage gave some hint. But IMHO it does need to change.
Thanks Yukon!
THIS IS VERY COOL!
Finally
Sitinjau lauik incline included in the video
Finland would be nice to see featured.
Indonesia trucks pretty much similar like European trucks but way smaller
I really enjoy this new scheme
Can you do an episode on Iceland please I would love to see that
amazing video
U should have atleast 1 million views
