As I've said, I wasn't fucking arguing, I was telling you how things are in other countries. But fuck it. Your laws are stupid and so is your government, and so are you for endorsing this nanny state bureaucracy like it's your own personal identity.
Alberta allows something you won't see anywhere else, to my knowledge, three 53 foot trailers with converter dollys', I'm sorry, I was tired of converting to metric, trucking is still in Imperial in canada. On paper it is metric, but it's all bullshit that makes no sense, it's all metric equivalates. Australia allows similar things I guess.
Didn't you get the memo, Canada is often colder than the martian equator. 95 percent of the canadian population lives in greater toronto, the lower mainland of BC, and a couple other cities. The other 4 million people live in an area almost as big as russia.
See we don't even really have a max length, the usual rule is 23 or 27 meters (depends on province but most interprovincial guys obviously follow the smaller limit) but if you want to be longer, then it's yearly or monthly permits. Regina to Saskatoon on highway 11, 39 meter combos are common.
In Canada, this thing would have a max gvw roughly around 5500kg and it would weigh about 3, 3500 empty, depending, so max capacity around 2000 kg. That's just a normal license here, the other categories really don't start until 10,000 gvw. Non north americans tend to find that odd, but it's not like we aren't taught how to drive these things same as you guys, categories just differ.
I am literally telling you about oilfield policy and regulations, but sure, go off, anyone who actually knows can see who is making a fool of themselves right now. Yes, you can sometimes take other things on site, but there is a requirement to have at least one 4x4 pickup and the diesel requirement is real. 20 years ago is 20 years ago, I used to use a 2wd chevy 3/4 ton gasser too.
It's really not that bad, cab n chassis frame for a 12 foot deck, put a box on, find a wrecked truck with a 4 door and cut off the rear section. A good body guy can pull this off cheaper than you'd think....if you started with a 5 year old quad cab and chassis and a wrecked from front end damage rear of cab fine body and box, you could get it done price of a new truck, remember new trucks are 150 grand in Alberta now, full load.
Nope. Required to have 4 wheel drive, and a diesel motor, for pipeline or drilling rig work. No gasoline or propane engines, greater explosion risk. Vans really, really suck off road, I have both a pickup and a van, both chevy, both old, both 2wd. There is no comparison between the truck and van off road or dirt roads, even though same powertrain. Ones a pavement princess. Now, a Suburban diesel 4x4 almost fits the bill, but no box for carrying whatever tools you need to take to the rig, or a welder.
It is. Stuff like this is usually built on a "cube van" factory extended cab n chassis frame, where the normal pickup box would fit on, bolt up like factory, but leave a 2 or three foot gap between a normal cab and the front of the box.
Quite a stretch to call cheering the President traitorous, person could almost say that's the opposite of traitorous, cause, yknow, a non politician actually doing something about the president is one of the real definitions of traitor.
