Used to work for a tyre remoulding company in the same yard as Thor 4:29 and later worked with Phil Bunch who worked for Thor for a local tipper company. Some of the stories and pictures that he shared were amazing.
Could you imagine a driver nowadays setting off for Middle East in a 110 scania or a 2800 daf lol not home comforts in them a rough bed and that was about it
Interesting to see American trucks, the White, Kenworth, International and Mack from Europe in the Middle East. The days well before air conditioned cabs and air ride seats. Looks like Scania and Volvo were the market leaders back then. That looked like a Japanese Nissan UD mixer on the back of a trailer at 6:11 mark too. Who made "SISU" trucks? Great video and much enjoyed.
SISU Trucks were made in Finland.still made today with Renault cabs.Dennison Irelands only truck builder used the SISU cab shown here.by all accounts the SISU were/are a great truck.
