BOBWhite Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Hopefully more trickle down to the US. And what's the deal with the Michelin man on the top of the truck in the 5th pic?

harrybarbon Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Volvo or SCANIA ?????? 🤔 What sort of $'s does it cost to land a good used tandem in Canada. Are there any restrictions and conditions to import the Scania's?

Vladislav Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Those are cool looking units. And looks like they suited the sevices very well. Definitely different principals in design and different engeneering and trucking culture. But that must be cool when you have choices. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73230-canadian-scanias/#findComment-549899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 BTW you seldom see such fashiony looking trucks on a road in Europe. The most countries in the central part such as Germany, France, Belgium usually operate single axle units with middle rise cabs of single white or red color or so. I bet those on the pictures were imported from Scandinavia. Icey roads and heavier allowed weights predict the 2nd drive (or tag) axle and attractive look prevails over cost savings. Bullbars (or elk bars?) are a common thing too.

And what's the deal with the Michelin man on the top of the truck in the 5th pic? Many years ago if you got a set of new Michelin tyres you got a Michelin man for your truck.It was an advertising stunt...Soon if you didnt have one on your truck you were a nobody.They began selling them.It was one of those stunts that really took off.They are still sought after for vintage truck restoration.They can still be bought but the newer ones are much smaller.Thats the story here in Ireland...Never cared for them myself but if its your truck you put what you like on it.....

tjc transport Posted Monday at 01:31 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:31 PM i always thought the "michelin man" was a south american thing. almost any truck driven by a south american here in New Jersey had at least one on top of the cab. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Joseph Cummings Posted Monday at 05:23 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:23 PM I don't like them. They look like something a Democrat or some kind of other Socialist/Marxist would drive Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73230-canadian-scanias/#findComment-564520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted Monday at 07:48 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:48 PM the new Scania trucks have some neat features. like the 770HP V8 engine. the lift drive axle for empty driving so you are only a single axle. the redesigned high visibility interior. the easy access to engine for checking fluids. the in cab adjustable air ride suspension. built in refrigerator in the cab. on board APU. the list goes on and on and on.

Mark T Posted Monday at 08:19 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:19 PM That's close to 800 reasons to like them. Time was there was a connection between Scania and Mack. and some of Mack's best stuff was developed from that relationship. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73230-canadian-scanias/#findComment-564544 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of that stuff sounds like a maintenance and repair nightmare to me. Although 770 HP sounds interesting. I wonder if they hold up well. And how expensive they are to fix Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73230-canadian-scanias/#findComment-564546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted Monday at 10:05 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:05 PM true, but if you take care of them i bet they are good rigs. i know a guy in town with 6 cab over Scania 113 tandem dumps. all at least 35 years old. runs them 5 days a week. loves them. and his drivers love them too. they never break down. another contractor around 15 miles away has 4 cab over tandem dumps he uses every day, and a conventional triaxle V8 he uses for his low boy and dump trailer. his brother has 3 or 4 cabover tandem dumps too. all at least 35 years old. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..
