Mr.Tea Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Hey, for short-medium haul jobs Iveco, DAF or MAN.. Volvos are expensive and better for heavy haul jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cl3mex Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Hey, I would go for something like a DAF or so. Pries Logistics Driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyPower Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Daf, because it's powerful no matter what cargo you put behind it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FernandoCR [ESP] Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I'd suggest Scania or DAF because those are the ones with more customization options (specific DLC for them). Then, depending on what cargoes you want to haul, you'd need to decide chassis, engine, etc. Lots of people get 8x4 chassis, 750 HP engine Volvos and then haul 3-5 tons trailers, which is ridiculous. My truck is a Scania Streamline with the 4x2 chassis and the 490 HP Euro 6 engine and can move any trailer up to 25 tons. For heavier cargoes, I use the new Scania R with 6x4 long chassis (1000 liters tank) and the 730 HP engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloofter Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I'd recommend a truck with good gear-ratio, a Scania or MAN to be specific. Since May 2015.

Callum. Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 For shorter hauls, I would suggest a MAN, DAF or Iveco, if you were looking for longer hauls but not too heavy, I would suggest Renaults or Scanias, and if you were wishing to do a heavy haul (short or long), I would suggest a Volvo.

T.Rucker Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I know this answer might not entirely satisfy you, but I think you have to make that decision on your own, as it's completely depending on personal preferences. Ask 5 people which truck is the best option for a specific job and you'll probably get 5 different answers. I used to swap trucks regularly in the past as I wanted to try them all, and I've came to a conclusion which trucks I like driving and which just don't really suit me at all. Now I am mostly using the same truck for all my journeys, no matter if it's a several thousand mile long one or just a quick job between two close by cities. Just take the truck you feel comfortable with driving, because in the end it's not the community behind the steering wheel, but yourself so you should be the one that's satisfied. And if you haven't tried any specific trucks yet and haven't made up your mind yet which one you'll take, just try something new. The worst thing that could happen is that you dislike a truck, so you just try another one afterwards...

Space Night Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 short to medium work is usually regional type work so you probably will be doing local work delivering to posped and such, as a result I would reccomend something around 440 to 460hp area and a 4x2 for manouvrability. High roof cab isn't really needed for that kind of work so perhaps a mid roof Scania legacy, or Daf XF spacecab, Renault Premium low roof, Iveco Stralis, maybe a Volvo FH13 low roof.

[GökTürk] Enver Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Hello ; I recommend Man. Because I heard that the gearbox is strong, I usually use man on short roads.

[TR-Team]*EM_Edmund Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 for light cargoes, volvo would be best, for its 750 hp engine. If the cargo mass goes up to 40t, the 730v8 of scania will be more proper TR TEAM | DRIVER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daveo1996 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Literally comes down to user preference, been driving my Iveco Stralis for ages now and it is still going strong, yeah I have some tough moments with heavier loads but when everything is a breeze it takes a challenge out of the game for me.

dandy1003 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Iveco Hi-way with the 16 speed gearbox. It's got loads of torque >50km/h and really fun to drive. It's also got (imo) the best horn of any truck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogey Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I would say DAF because I like the interior and they aren't that expensive but they got 530 HP Definitely recommend DAF for that Greetings Dogey Greetings Dogey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evil701 Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 i use my volvo globetrotter xl 8x4 for heavy haul a lot tihnk it has good torque and 750hp it helps a lot with heavy haul in my opinion. i have tried the mercedes actros gigaspace when the tuning dlc came, it can haul heavy haul but, sometimes you can feel the lack of hp and torque , when climbing mountain roads and ramps.
