A quick look at how De Rooy run when empty. Filmed just off the M74 in Scotland before travelling South. Music: Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 (by Liszt) Artist: Liszt Music downloaded from the free RU-vid Audio Library.
This is my all time favourite rhapsody, highs lows fast and slow happy and sad Amazing. People that are not fussed about classic music will remember this being used in the stella advert (priests on skates). You Sir have great taste in music.
Seen these trucks many times on the motorways, either Piggy back style or loaded with cabs or units. I've never seen how they load themselves in any detail before this video, so good on you for filming it, I watched every minute and loved it. Those Guys certainly have it down to a fine art when it comes to Piggy back. :-)
4:30 - 5:30 Darn Iveco Auto gearboxes lol Thanks a lot for the video, I've often wondered how they got them on. I imagine that it would be real interesting to see them get it back off with that a-frame
Not only do they save on fuel they also save on wear and tear of the unit as well. Mate i enjoyed watching your video, iv never seen this done before and iv been driving trucks for 23 years. thanks for posting it.
lol wear and tear on the unit ?? m8 that stuff was worn out when he build it . i bet both the iveco and the DAF has a minimum of 2 million on the speedo , those trucks payed for themselfs a many fold .
All the difficulties he had inching that iveco shows you the limitations of automatic boxes right there!revs,nothing,more revs and still nothing and now cos we’re off the brakes we’re rolling the wrong way so give it even more revs and suddenly we’re off at pace.no delicacy.bloody things can be dangerous!
when the frame was lifted up the tractor unit pulled the trailer by hitching a chain between the two & airlines were connected to the tractor unit for airbrakes on the trailer.
In Duitsland houden ze niet van dit uiterst innovatieve transportbedrijf.... ....maar ik was begin jaren negentig aan het overleggen of ik dit werk niet zal doen samen met een collega van me.... uiteindelijk is alleen mijn collega daar begonnen en heeft daar met plezier gewerkt....
Ich sag da nur, bitte zwei mal Tanken in Deutschland. Hallo Jungs, ich war da der Tankwart in Plaidt an der alten ED Tankstelle an der B 256. Das war so im September 1991. Da hab hab ich euch, den einen oder anderen Kollegen getankt. War ne schöne Zeit. Heute sitze ich selber auf'm Bock. In diesem Sinne nen schönen Gruß aus Plaidt in Deutschland. Es Grüßt ein Kollege aus der Eifel.
kto najlepiej gran na wieśle? otóż ja gram całkiem nieźle a tak na poważnie, Polscy fachowcy są nie do przecenienia, dobra robota, ten młody w czapeczce już też pewnie śmiga jak mistrz :)
it's called piggyback and it only looks nice, but doing that even twice or three times a day was so bloody annoying;/ even if we travelled empy in two lorries for 100km (60miles), we had to make a piggyback;/ it's not so complicated when it's dry outside..the problem starts when it rains or snows :D you have to drive without stopping even for a second directly and precisely a few centimeters against the cabin of the truck under you..sometimes it was better to tuck a cabin than stop at some point
Too high and too long, otherwise uncle Jan would have done it. We did transport a brand spanking new Land Rover strapped to my truck which was ''piggy backed'' on my colleagues truck.
This is to save on salary and fuel one driver is sitting idle while the other drives they swap from seat every 4 hours, so the company can pay them less. It is real sad to see Dutch company's taking advantage of poor european laws and polish drivers who are already payed less than the average Dutch driver, But this is getting insane...
@@robinmarkus3691 you are funny robin markus , the polish are not being taken advantage of , for their standards they are being payed very well , them driving for dutch compies ( now illegal) crashed the market for dutch drivers , dutch drivers get payed very well because of their training , before ccv-b and after where ccv-b got tossed ( after i spend about 12000 euro on my training ) and got replaced by a stuppid points system , to make it easyer for the eastern block countries to drive around in europe and the netherlands , while we had to work and learn hard for those points , the polish go to the bakery , buy a loaf of bread and get their points . nah , the poles are sucky drivers , mostly drunk , drive in reverse on the snelweg because they missed an exit etc etc .
@@robinmarkus3691 More fool the Polish for putting up with those terms, even piggy backed we were both paid. I am English and my colleague was Scottish, we were paid the same as the Dutch drivers, Jac Lemens made sure of that.
I was watching the news the other day and it said 60.000 polish truck driver's now work in Britain and there is still a shortage of 30.000 thousand is a lot of jobs you can understand why you would want to move from the east of Europe to west, I think any truck driver would go for the money, some times I heard the money is really good!!!
He you talk shit. Every Dutch company need to pay his driver the same as a Dutch driver. and International is that E.2500 and more. depending on some thing like experience. But Yes If the company is in Poland or Romania than the driver is working in Poland or Romania. So income is confirm that country. SO first know how thing are than screaming on a website.
+rene loenders well I can only talk about what I saw and heard, I do no they are crying out for good driver's, I honestly thought you can make a good wage as H.G.V driver I no in Britain if you are from Ireland or France and you set up to live and work u all get the same wage in UK or you can get taken to court for discrimination can't get away with anything these day's!!!!"
to IGP84 Why in hell that shorter trailer is carrying that longer, and not the other way? It's simple if you look closely - the loaded trailer has an extendable triangle that can be positioned in a vertical position which makes it shorter.
The only thing I saw happen that I thought was potentially dangerous was standing between the truck and trailer that were disconnected. This is when the 2nd truck and trailer are on the first trailer before the truck was tied down. When the men are picking up the lighting and brake connections. If the brakes failed or the truck moved back words for some other reason the man standing in between the truck and trailer would have been crushed. I do not think I would stand in that spot until the truck was tied down to the trailer. Interesting video thank you for making and sharing this video.
Is there not a simpler way of doing this ??? Would it not be cheaper to pay the diesel for a 60 mile journey than pay 2 people 1 maybe 2 hours to do this at each end of the journey ???
lol , thats mister Jan De Rooy himself laying under trucks with a measuring take wearing a suit and tie telling his mechanics where to cut and where to weld , Jan has been a driver all of his live , he thinks those trucks and trailers up in his mind because he knows how to use it , sometimes he fails ,but mostly it works beatifully . he builds his unit with certain trucks that come from the factory in mind , ussualy like on the iveco it carries 3 short chassis trucks or 2 short , one long or even something else , it is all purpose build , he once build a truck , to be able to transport 2 long chassis trucks he cut the cab off of the transporter and mounted a crane cab in front of the chassis . it worked for a little while but the design was unstable ,made the drivers seasick because it swayed like a ship and only short drivers could drive it , good plan , but failed , i drove a volvo car transporter myself at De Rooy , but , it had a tarp box over it , so on the way to italy i could cary 7 volvo cars , on the way back i could lover the flat smooth car decks and load wasching machines and such in italy for england , france , germany and the netherlands , everything at De Rooy is build for a purpose and fulfiles that role well.
@@dimievers5573 I remember that truck he tried to develop, rumour was that young Geertje was going to drive it. I have always wondered if he got it finished. Can you remember that 50 foot box he put on a wagon and drag? a lot of countries didn't want that on their roads.
not to bad , and if it fails there is always a forklift around at either DAF or Leyland or new holland or whatever to lift the thing off in case they fuck up ,lol
Phen0mable im completly agree with you, as De Rooy has been practicing this for a long time ago even before they have starting employing polish drivers...
DeRooy had a load of English drivers back inn the 90's, way before he employed Polish. He liked the Brits because we just kept on going long after the Dutch wanted a beer and their bed.
ja toch , mooie vent die jan , komt in zijn onderbroek snachts naar buiten gelopen om te zien welke chauffeur even een kratje bier voor hem kan gaan halen
Probably because of the total vehicle length. I can only assume that both combinations max out legal limits and you can't legally combine the three axle truck with the long trailer.
NIEMCY TO BY PEWNIE POŁOWE INZYNIERÓW SPROWADZIŁA DO TEGO MIEJSCA ,ZEBY ANALIZOWAC ZAŁADUNEK I GŁOWIC SIE JAK TO ZROBIC .A TU POLAKKOS ZAŁADOWALI SIE BEZ PROBLEMU HE HE HE
I though the same thing, having the A-frame trailer on top makes the job hard work, but then it all depended on the wheel base of the bottom truck, if it was a long wheelbase, it was the carrier, short wheelbase, always the top truck.
Bis auf die Zeitraffer Szenen etwas langatmig das Video. Anfangs zu viel Nebengeräusche. Aha, ein Tieflader wird auf einen Tieflader geladen. Ganz nett, doch was ist hier das Besondere ?? ?
Gegenfrage...Was ist heute schon noch was besonderes? Erst wenn die mit einem Burnout rauffahren, oder wenn er im einhändigen handstand den spanngurt ratscht.... es ist einfach interrsant auf welche methode de rooy seine spezialzüge huckepack lädt. wennn das nicht was selten zu sehendes ist, dem ist nicht zu helfen
