kscarbel2 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Scania Group Press Release / December 12, 2019 Andrea Landi spends his days behind the wheel of an all-wheel-drive Scania G 500 XT, driving up and down the steep gravel roads to and from the marble quarries in Carrara, Italy. Carrara is well known for the quality of its marble, which has been a source of wealth since the Roman era. Though the work has become considerably safer in recent decades, truck drivers like Andrea still rely on considerable experience, tough equipment and knowledge passed down through the generations. .

HeavyGunner Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Impressive video, definitely working on some steep, narrow real estate. I’m surprised that he only has one strap on that piece of marble. Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

alex g Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Impressive. I would think terrain like that would narrow the competition down to a minimum.

( I suppose I could look it up or Google It) Also i would've had the Block a good 18" to 2' further Forward..... But what would I know..

james j neiweem Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 I guess if you are half nuts and living on the edge it pays to be in a 8x8 Scania. Some of that video looks like you should be driving down hill in reverse.
