That was the funniest thing seeing (and hearing) Dave and Billie Jo getting lost on the swedish backroads. We need more videos from your trip. 🙂
This is the awesome adventure I wanted and hearing Dave’s laugh with Billie jo by his side We need more I cracked up laughing
13:53 That is a TMA truck, used as protection when towing, at road works etc. He probably has a right hand steered so he doesn't have to exit the truck on the traffic side when stopping at the "scene" :) And the red and white houses are because that red color is traditionally made from left over copper from the Falu copper mine. The copper actually preseves the wood so it was a very common paint to use. Today people also use other types but the red is a tradition and when people buy a house they like to have a red one :)
we have 45 min mandatory breaks after every 4h30 of driving but we can divide it into a 15 min break and then after a 30 break, and you can only drive 9hour a day divided in two 4h30 half
@@STIGu1993 Yeah I know its European law just wasnt awake enough lol
And an stop for loading/unloading is counted as an driving break or? Only if it's loaded/unloaded for you?
Welcome to Europe,Dave! Have a nice trip! Greetings from Italy 😁
Good to see you take a look in Europe, its quite a lot different than in the states, it's like really strict out here, it's 15 hours a day and 9 of those is driving hours and two times a week you're allowed to drive 10 hours, every 4:30 hours you need to take, 45 min brake, you can brake them up in 15 min and 30 min not the other way around, you get 56 hours Max driving hours a week and 90 driving hours for two weeks max, have a nice vacation guys 👌
That's crazy how similar, yet different the laws are for trucking between Europe and the U.S. In the U.S. per the DOT, it is 14 hours allowed on the clock, 10 hours behind the wheel, and you must have 10 hours off after clocking out before clocking back in for the next day. You are entitled to 2, 15 min breaks and a 30 min lunch(usually unpaid) required by law for an 8 hour shift. Once you get to 10 hours it is either a 2nd (30 min) lunch or a 10 min break. Also you are allowed 60 hours in a 5 day period or 70 hours in a 6 day period, and to reset your clock you need 36 hours off the clock for the next week.
14hr day, 11hr driving, 10hr daily reset, 34hr weekly reset for US. Not sure where you got the other info.
@@fryrony3932 14 hours on duty, 11 hours driving time, 10 hours of continuous off duty before you can come back on duty and start driving again the next day, 30 min break no sooner than 5 hours because most ELDs won't let you take it sooner, and no later than 8 hours, 60 hour limit in a 7 day period before 34 hour reset is needed or 70 hours in an 8 day period before a 34 hour reset is needed.
Going through my theory course for my trucking license, from what I learned, its 56hrs a week, 90hrs per two weeks max, a day shift is 9hr max, and two days of the week can be planned as 10hr shifts. Break times are implemented after Max 4,5hr of driving before a break time is needed. Rest/breaks can be divided in parts. Its 45 minutes max but can be divided in short 15min stops. Or 30 min if the driver has a shift less than 9 hours a day, if more than 9hrs, the driver is required to hold 45 min break. Here, loading and unloading is also seen as workhours. As well as the driver driving from and to their home/rest location in their personal vehicle.
It's always 45 minno matter if you drove 9 or 10 hours after 4.5 hours, you need to make at least 45 min can indeed devide it in 15 and 30 min not the other way around, of course you can decide to do 45 all at once, and a driver going home or coming to home, officially you need to get paid but most companies won't pay it out, unless it's more than a hour, and you get a total of 15 hours of on duty if you sleep 11 hours, after 3X 9 hours of sleep you only get 12 hours of on duty in a day, in theory everything is difficult but as you start driving it All starts to make sense after the first year, good luck getting your theory, what county are you from?
Drinking game: Take a shot every time Dave says "little". Good luck.
Don't do it!!!! Alcohol poisoning is not fun!!!
Go Dawgs!
Dang! I'm already drunk and I'm only 5 minutes in!
Cant, gotta drive a semi.
Wow thanks. Just got my first DUI
I loved your adventure, Dave and Billie Jo, and I can't wait to see more. Stay safe.
That looked fun! Even the detours most times are nice when you are in a foreign place because you see much more!
Welcome to Europe, Dave! Have a nice trip! Greetings from Norway! 😁
Good to see you both having fun !! Great video, I hope that you both have a great vacation and make some great memories!!
Simple hours are (not everything a trucker needs to know, but already too much...): [work/drive times are maximum, break/rest times are minimum] 4.5h continuous driving - to reset this timer, take a 45min break (or 15min, followed by 30min) 9h per day of driving (10 hours twice a week) 56h per week of driving (but 45h average over 2 weeks) weekly rest after max 6 days - normal 45h: weekend at home (truck can't be used as living space, normally taken after 5 days ofcourse) - short 24h: when out on the road, truck can be used as living space depending on how many of the weekly rests were short or normal, a trucker has to return to base/home once every 3 or 4 weeks. I think you can definitly find some trucker at a rest stop who'd love to show and talk about his truck with an american trucker, so don't be shy!!
The reason there is "Falu red" coloured houses is because of the Swedish mining industry throughout the past centuries, the bi-products from mining at Falun Mine throughout the past centuries proved useful on houses as it did a good job at keeping houses mostly built out of wood planks from going bad due to mold and bad weather. The Falun Mine provided so much Copper to Europe that it stood for a large majority of the Copper delivered, and helped fund wars during the Swedish Empire era. There is older houses in former Swedish territory that is a reminder of these days.
We do have supertruckers in europe too
That area just looks beautiful i love it. Thanks for the video Dave!
Love to see you in my country! Too bad you weren't going to the north of Sweden passing through Gävle! I'd let you test drive my Volvo FH5 2022. Would've been fun to see you try to back a 24 meter truck+dolly trailer. Have a safe trip my friend!
We wish we could test drive it! Come On down to The south and we will take you up on that offer 😂
@@RidingWithDave Haha, yeah! Would've been fun! I get loads to Stockholm every once in a while. Dispatch is sending me above the arctic circle most of the time though, completely wrong direction 😉
Thank you for visiting Europe😁Your fan from Europe for long time😂🙋
You can buy a good roadmap that features all of Europe at a bookstore (usually located in city centers and barely accessible by car) Simpler roadmaps that feature only Sweden or Scandinavia is not something I have seen for sale for at least a decade. There probably are such maps, perhaps even sold at convenient locations along the roads. However, there seem to be little demand for them, which is too bad because I like using them as a complement to digital maps.
I know this comment is going to be a little late maybe but when you guys were off on an adventure because you missed your turn, it reminded me of when Dave was doing his Moto blog and he would just turn down every Little street he can just to explore Louisiana
Glad you got to take a vacation. One thing I would do while there is find a place where you could ride a Norwegian Fjord horse- what fun that would be and they don't ride like a quarter horse. Make the most of your trip guys, good to see you Billie Jo.
Great, Loved it. Enjoy your trip
I can't wait to see the rest of your adventures.
Great video Dave! Glad you and Billie Jo are back together. Enjoy your vacation. God Bless
This is the perfect video Dave. Love it
This was really fun to watch. Looks like you have potential to be travel youtubers if you ever get sick of trucking lol
That's so awesome. We went there in 2012, such a beautiful country.
Cool trip, you guys are the best!
Loved the video! That detour was great!
It's funny watching an American driving in "my" continent and be confused by... everything lol. You actually went to a pretty nice truck stop for European standards lol. Most of them don't really have a lot of services. Great video! I went to Norway myself this summer and you drove the same route as me for a bit! (According to the map you showed at the beginning) Nice to see. Enjoy!
awesome video dave and billie jo! looks like a lot of fun!
This is hilarious, awesome, and beautiful. Makes me want to travel around Europe.
Wow, Sweden looks beautiful. I'll have to look into visiting.
That was pretty cool to see! I would love to visit Australia and see the road trains and outback trucks one day.
Enjoy your trip!
So cool seeing you film in Europe, welcome!
From the back streets of Biloxi to the roads of Europe good job Dave from Pascagoula Mississippi
Great travels and b safe🤙🤙🤙🤙
Please please please do more of these kind of videos!
Never thought I would see you in my neighbouring country, so this is so cool watching you in some "familiar" surroundings lol. And I believe (if I'm not mistaking) that the reason a lot of houses are painted red in Sweden, is because back in the days the red paint were the "cheapest" and that now it is just like a "tradition" Keep it up :).
Boiled grain based paints that became common from 16th century onwards (earliest known examples are from falun) commonly used red earth or ockra as pigments.
Really nice to see Billie Jo, Dave have fun!
Have fun, be safe you guys
HGVs [heavy goods vehicle] have either TomTom or Garmin which are special sat navs to help assit drivers aviod low bridges
Ah Ha! Amazing! An adventure into the great unknown!! Have fun and safe travels!! 🚗🛣⛰
Great vlog Dave!
Lol running around in circles love it ah finally found are way out whew!!
You guys should come here when its winter. January or February it will be fun specialy in Norway😁
awesome adventure dave, oh stopped to check on one of your fellow cfi drivers up here in pa toady, he is waiting for a tow and in my area that might be a bit. said I watch you lol. I always stop and check if a driver needs help its hard enough for drivers as it is so if I can help I will, got a few friends that are in the industry
That's some crazy stuff right there.😂😂
That "Gasum" station is a refill station for trucks running on Biogas, which is becoming more common here in Sweden.
i drive a truck in sweden and this is so fun to watch
Mirror cam trucks arent the best esspically when its raining and sunny as well as at night but does help with areodyamics
That was cool!
Beautiful area
Please stop by if you pass the northern part of Sweden where I live. And I just left the states. Maybe we were on the same plane 😊
Im a dutch truck driver, I do steel line haulage from holland / belgium to any location in Sweden, Scandic islands are insane and amazingly beautiful you’ll enjoy for sure ! I’ve been to the arctic circle a couple of times been up To Kiruna one time insane that was in November to 😂 If you guys see a dutch driver with yellow plates and NL written on it or Swedish truckers you can walk up to them for a talk most of them are very open !
Yes, the predominant house color is dark red as it was originally derived from iron/rust in their mines as I understand it.
Really cool to see the red HERENTES scania which is a company in estonia🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪
15:56 It's *slightly* more complex then that, but yeah, and that applies to Norway too. So you can hike or put up a tent pretty much anywhere. But of course, respect peoples privacy, don't be a nuisance etc. Bothering animals, making sounds, hunting etc isn't allowed without a permit.
Nice little video
those moutain roads look very safe...
european rules : 9 hour a day 2 times a week 10 is allowed. After 4.5 hours you need to have 45 Minutes break. But you can split them in 15 and 30 minutes. Short said haha Love that you are in the EU! Greeting from the netherlands
If you drive in Sweden you also have to keep track of the 6h clock, which requires you to take a half hour break every 6 hour, which can be taken at the same time as your 45 minute break. Ie Drive for two hours, unload for two hours and drive another two hours and you can have a 45 minute break and both clocks will reset.
You went to Norway!!! I live in norway not to far from where you were!
Where I live in Canada, the price of low grade gas is around $1.45/litre. There's 3.78 litres per gallon so you were paying $7.18/gallon.
Come visit beautiful Crimea!
I have been to Sweden Many times and I love it ( I live in Denmark )
I bet your Swedish viewers are stoked to see you in their country. What a cool trip. Can’t lie, I’m a little envious
We are!
I’d hate to be in a hotel room with a loft for the bed as when over night toilet is needed it requires going down stairs to get to it. And I stumble in the middle of the night. At home we have separate blankets as I like fewer. And I have an under the seat bidet on the toilet.
Welcome to Sweden, my home. Seriously, you should contact Scania headquarters in Södertälje, just outside of Stockholm and ask them to test drive their trucks. They have test tracks there.
Having 2 blankets is quite normal in Europe. At least everywhere I was.
Bumper cars looks like it !,,
Looks like a rally stage on them small roads
Still here and I still injoy your videos Dave keep it up my did also am in Australia NSW Australia is a nice country trust me
Damn this makes me wanna take a trip here
Dave congratulations .billi jo and yours first baby 🐥🍼
Tell you what I'm Danish and American my grandparents migrated to America but that is definitely a foreign concept two full fledge long-term Americans. But I love it when a way better than Sharon one blanket. You can always spend some time cuddling under ones like in do and whatever. But sleeping relaxing two blankets each with their own is much better
Yoooo! If I knew you were in Sweden I would've loved to say hi! I'm located in Stockholm so it'd be perfect
Its the same in Germany with the blankets lol
In Australia diesel is currently at $2.20 per litre it cost nearly $200 for a tank
My wife and I each have our own blanket also😎
Scammer
Dave you should visit to the UK we drive on the left side of the road I know for the UK trucking hours is 9 hours but I'm not sure about the other Europe country
Super Truckers are everywhere Dave..😁
That is coo Dave
Dave, how was the Swedish snus? I feel like it’d be pretty good in a place like that.
The red and white houses are what's known as a "Falu stuga" for the red brand of colour we use~~ Also Västerås, the city you drove through in this video and that Hackesta(white signs are local destinations and the symbol before was of a factory, ie industry area) are a part of are where my truck are station. World is very small.
So is Hacksta a company name or town/village name or ? Because Google translate says it’s “chop sticks”…🤔 Using Google map, I found Dingtuna as a town name…
@@JohnHallgren Hacksta is just an area name in the city of Västerås. The white sign with a factory means it´s an industrial area named Hacksta.
If you guys ever go to Dovre there's a nice truck stop there you guys should visit. I doubt anyone would allow you to drive their trucks without a local drivers license of the right kind. But who knows, perhaps someone is willing to take one of you in the passenger seat?
Someone probobly already said, but i heard you ask how the driving time is in scandinavia. And it's all basicly the same in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. You can legally drive 4 hours and 30 min, before you have to take a 45 min break. Then you can proceed to drive another 4/30 hours. :)
nice i bet people know dave in euro
In all Europe they drive cabover, for me is kind of scary I drove one before an nope nope but I guess a lot of people like them, cool places Dave have fun you an Billie Jo 👍🖖
14:49 YAY :D
id like to see what’s inside the store what kind of food can be found
W Video 🔥💪🏾
drivingtime is 4.5 hours then 45 min break or split it to 15+ 30 min and then you have 4.5 hours more to drive then you can take 45 min break for extending driver time 1 hour more 3 times a week and reduse your rest time to 9 hours or have a normal one that is 11 hours you can devide to 3+9 hours and max 56 hours in one week of driving time or 90 hours in 2 weeks and you need to take your week rest that is 36 hours or reduse to 24 hours
A bit weird, Dave at a truckstop in my home town.
4.5hours of driving in a row must include a 45minute break that can be split into 2parts where the first one is >15minutes and the latter one is >30minutes. 9 hours a day max driving. you can drive 10hours 2 times a week (or 2 per 2 weeks cant remember the rule anymore) and before driving the extra hour you must take a 45 minute break. also you can only work for 5.5hours in a row before taking a 30minute break that can be split into 2 >15minute breaks
1:48 - I've never heard of anything else? I can't imagine living without multiple blankets?!! 3:08 - Also an absolute standard where I live!
I think I saw propper 12 🤣🤣🤣🍾🍾🍾
13:53 He's sitting on the "wrong side" because it's a TMA-truck. They warn other drivers of road works, so when they stand in the middle of the highway, it's not too smart to get out on the side the cars and trucks will be driving on.
come to finland next its lovely here
Always wanted to go there! Just weren’t able to make it this time.
@@RidingWithDave ok
Sweden, how could you dude. Everyone knows Bavaria is the best place to be. Us Bavarians would take care of you two and it's Oktoberfest so great food here. Sweden : ( and I'm LMAO who excited you guys are driving around on that small country road. For us it's just a normal day.
