- mantas 5y agoI doubt euro trucks had different chassis designs if trucks were owned by truckers. But trucking in Europe is a mess with massive companies squeezing truckers and importing cheaper workers from wherever to keep salaries low and conditions shitty. At least one sector where Europe out-big-corps US?
- dghlsakjg 5y agoRest assured: the American trucking industry abuses workers too.
- VBprogrammer 5y agoI mean, I'm sure European truckers would love a full kitchen, a shower and a double bed if they could get it. But the length limits would still be a problem and it would be hard enough to stay competitive without having to refuse the standard length trailers.
- AshleyGrant 5y agoYou're not going to see a full kitchen and shower in a standard sleeper cab. You'll get one or two beds, maybe a dinette, a microwave, and a fridge. To get the kitchen and shower, you're going to have to go custom. Going custom, you're only limited by money, space, and regulations.
- Aloha 5y agoAnd the 'dinette' is literally a fold down table in front of the bunk. Cabovers had all of those things too.
- futharkshill 5y agoMost truckers in Denmark own their own trucks?
- brnt 5y agoIn NL plenty of truckers own their own truck.
