Does the USA only have semi-trucks? - Off-topic

This is something I've always wondered. In many movies and shows I've watched about USA, I've only seen semi-trucks and semi-trailers. Kenworth, Peterbilt etc.
Do you have anything similar to this scania truck?
That truck and trailer has a maximum weight of 60.000 kilos here in Sweden (and Finland), but possibly less world-wide.

We have some decent ones.

They don't only has those trucks.
They have something called "cars" aswell. Mind blowing news really

Just a heads up but the internet recently added a magical feature called a search engine. Typical search engines include, but are not limited to, Google, Yahoo, and Bing.

In America trucks come fresh out of the factory with these installed

well we do have the rigs with the dual split trailers like that, though not as common as our standard truck with out the split. we don't have any that look like the front of the one in your picture though, even if ours have the split trailer it's still the standard truck pulling it.

I have searched, a lot, over the years and I have only come across semi-truck. That kinda answers my question? Ah well. My second question is why.
Is it because of the weight limits? Narrower roads? I don't get it, because I'd like to think a truck+trailer could haul more load (volume) than a semi-trailer.

All of our roads here have weight limits, so that is probably a factor.

We have weight limits too, but a bit over 90 percent are 60 tonnes roads. But, my point is, a truck and trailer like we have don't just haul a lot of weight-goods. It can also load a lot of volume. More so than a semi-trailer.
Know what I'm saying?

They call them box trucks from the looks of things, although it seems Luton vans would be included in that name.
A separate tractor unit that can haul different trailers is more versatile.
Also remember that traditionally American engines have to be huge to produce the equivalent power/torque to an European one, hence the jutting out nose of many of them. If fuel is ridiculously cheap there is no push for maximum efficiency, which allows for huge gas guzzling vehicles, while over in Europe where fuel has always been more expensive our vehicles are smaller and more efficient. Even some lorries now tow curved roof trailers to reduce drag.
Another reason for this is engine access. In Europe with the engine under the cab you have to tilt the cab forward to work on the engine and several mechanics have died by not securing it.

What are the lengths of the 2 trailers in the op? Our semi's are typically 53 foot trailers. They will also double up on 2 28 foot trailers. It's also common place here to see the trailers loaded onto trains to carry them across the country.
We also do have semi trucks with a flat nose like that and aerodynamics added to the top of the truck and/or trailer. What I don't see is where one of the trailers is connected to the cab, and it tows another one. We do use straight wall trucks like that some, but mostly for local P&D (pickup and delivery) rather than carrying goods over a distance.

If your hydraulic suspension is bouncy, its time to replace your spheres
All 3 of my cars have hydraulic suspension, one of them with active suspension which is why it can take 0.94 lateral G and is the unbeaten champion of the moose swerve test, reaching 65mph while still being able to safely swerve around a moose in the road. And driving with just 3 wheels fitted gets interesting looks.
Oh god I'm such a geek
Seriously though, they were designed for driving on appauling French roads of the 80's and 90's, which make them perfect for the roads of 21st century Britain.

I can't remember what model it was, but my neighbour had a Citroen twenty years ago, where you chose the ride height with a lever? The lever was where the handbrake would usually be as the handbrake was on the dash. When the engine was started the car would lift up at the back and then at the front.
Is that the same thing we're talking about here? Our roads are getting so bad here i'm thinking trading in my eleven year old Ford Escort for one of these:

That's the stuff, I've got 3 Xantias, the last with proper green blood, although their handbrake like the BX before them is in the right place.
XM's had a pedal for the handbrake, fine if you had an automatic and interesting if you had a manual and therefore 4 pedals!
Unbeatable ride quality though.

The ingredient you are missing to make the perfect burger is... onion soup mix.
Add a full envelope to the mixture and shape the burgers. Then flour--eggs--flour and fry them.

As a fan of Burgers between buttered Toast, the square idea is rather appealing...and is in fact an imminent threat to my diet, thanks!
As for how i make them... Butcher fresh Minced Beef into bowl. Throw in an egg or two for binding. Breadcrumbs for drying. Finely chopped pickles, onions and chilie. Salt, pepper, puree tomato and ginger to season. Make patties, cover and put in fridge for a few hours prior to cooking. Grill to perfection, add a slab of cheese and eat between two halves of whatever bread product.
Anybody else feeling really hungry for a Burger right about now?
Edit: Forgot the puree tomato!

Yep. They have like 8 teams play in the play offs. So there are 4 games first round, then you have 4 teams left, 2 games, and then the super bowl. Maybe you have a bit more teams at the beginning. In hockey you have 7 games between the teams before going to the next round.

Random shoes on the road!

Can somebody explain this strange phenomenon to me? Not a single week goes by when i don't drive over a solitary sneaker laying in the middle of the road. Last night alone i passed by two of these lost loafers! Sometimes they're a running shoe without the runner, but could equally be a business shoe without the business man.
So what's going on here? Are people leaving home with their footwear on the roof of their cars only to have their favourite flip-flops go sailing off on the first bend they take? Are moped owners arriving at their destinations only to find that they are one plimsoll short of a pair?
Has anybody here mysteriously lost one half of a nice pair of pumps during their journeys on the road, perhaps stepping out of the car wondering why their stocking clad right foot just took a soaking from that puddle?
Is it the aliens...?

I don't collect anything. My mother and father never collected anything.
Android>iOS... Android FTW!
Yeah I've begun a few collections but never bothered to follow anything through.....
I know a guy who collects locks though.
Edit - I do have a lovely limited edition. (1 of 5000) vinyl of the eponymous QOTSA album. If i can gather up all the desert sessions on the original man's ruins vinyls that be a collection to be proud of.

Thats impossible; I have no doubt that you have dust collecting around the house! Maybe even some junk.
I've started collecting ukuleles.
So far I have one.

I collected all my beer bottle tops in college... when I graduated, I had a cooler with 4000 (yes I counted), and prob 500 more..... you have no idea how mad I was when my dad threw them away for more garage space... to this day... I still miss them....
Also, I collected my NASCAR Talladega tickets... I think I still have those and know where...

In a court ordered DUI program I attended, they asked us to estimate how much we drank in our lives, and since I'm very precise in my regimen, it was fairly easy. From 1994-2009, I estimated I had drank roughly 50,000 beers. How am I still alive?

Good genes, strong liver... :good:
Same here... I've destroyed my body countless times yet I look 10yrs younger than I am... Acute Pancreatitus twice... NOW THAT SUCKS... Worst pain ever...
Too lazy to take pics, but I collect guitars(I own three electric guitars, one electric bass and one acoustic. Total value about 2K€). Also guitar picks. I try order them online to get unique picks, wouldn't it be boring if there were only two kinds of them?!
I used to collect old & foreign coins. I have couple boxes of them. Today,I just focus on collecting money that actually works...

Yeah man, I was poisoned with good genes. I hardly look 36, but not in a Ralph Macchio kind of way. I just really don't look my age. Clerks that see my ID constantly comment on it.
So I guess, keeping with the topic of the thread, I collect years. Years I apparently haven't lived yet.
