Quick tip, Daggerwin: I've found that you can go against the traffic when exiting yards like that, the front escort vehicle stops traffic going the other way for you to do so...
You were supposed to drive down the wrong side of the road for that very first bit. The escort had stopped traffic further up to allow to do that safely.
When you start a special transport in Brussels you can drive on the wrong site of the road for the first meters, until you can go back to the right side. So Daggerwin, you didn't have to reverse to get to the right side of the road
There is a bridge in philidelphia that is just low enough where if you go uner it with a box truck, it will rip the top of the cargo area on your truck off and leave the rest fine. It is amazing.
I am from Australia and you see these escorts on the news with Police in the escorts so they can drive up and block the upcoming route for the truck even on the highway they do it so the trucks can straddle both lanes other wise they rip every sign out of the ground.
It's all about the right gearbox. You can pull this trailer with a 1bhp engine, if you have the right gearbox for it. But then you wouldn't have a very high top speed. The 730bhp engine allows for a gearbox that is geared for higher top speed, so you can pull these trailers, whilst not lose out on top speed. Doing jobs in half or third of the time, than with your current rig. But it doesn't mean, you can't do jobs like this, if you have the right gearbox, as this video clearly shows.
sam dickinson he probably wanted to see it, when I first played the dlc I watched the whole thing and now I just skip it same with most repeating cutscenes
the reason why you stopped befor joining the motor way is because you were waiting for the rear escort van not because nobody was letting you out 5:25-5:29
I did my first special transport cargo with my 520(?) Hp Volvo in Norway... Got stuck half way on a very steep hill. What a surprise, right? It cost 15k to skip the job! Outrageous!
In UK it's illegal to straddle both the outside lane and the hard shoulder, as it's a solid white line and plus the Hard Shoulder isn't part of the carriage way so driving on it is illegal!
I PULL THOSE 70T LOADS WITH MY R500/S500 UP AND DOWN HILL WITH NO MUCH STRUGGLE AT ALL. THEREFORE I DON'T FEEL THE NEED TO UPGRADE THE ENGINES TO MORE HORSE POWER. HOWEVER THE NEW DAF XF 105 530 HP IS PROBABLY THE MOST POWERFUL TRUCK IN IT'S 13L CATEGORY
I saw it, and I noticed the landing plane, too. The airplane crossing the highway on a taxilane is a real thing near Schiphol Amsterdam Airport. The airplane landing on top of the highway is not, as far as I know. They do land very close to the highway, and they come over the highway on a very low altitude, but landing on an overpass, I don't think they do that.
