Thanks Stummer!

Some various, fresh moments

Took a Thomsen reefer from Kiel down to Bremen:



Next morning, I went on another short trip from Bremen to Hannover:


Boarding the ferry to Rödby on another routine trip:


Taking a rest just after loading, somewhere around Falköping:


Early morning in Göteborg, heading for the ferry to Frederikshavn:


On the E45 in Denmark, around Aarhus:


Padborg:


Arriving home in Kiel:


Just after loading two containers in the port in Hamburg, leaving for Odense:



Next morning. From Odense I'm headingback to Germany, now to Düsseldorf with a Rhenus trailer:




Somewhere in the maze of the Ruhrgebeit's Autobahns:


Waiting for a job in Lille, France...:


...which I've got. To take a container to the port in Antwerpen. Thank god, no queues this time around the Kennedy tunnel :


Unloaded the container in the port, and attached a Ferrymaster's trailer from the same place. This one goes to the ferry terminal in Gedser. (Probably another truck will take it over from there)




I went home empty, then 2 days later, I've got another trailer to attach. This one from Flensburg, to Malmö:


Unloaded, then got a container to take from Malmö to Zwolle.. Cold start in the morning near Copenhagen. -5 grades :



Off the ferry in Puttgarden:


A1, Germany:


Next day. Back to Sweden, to Växjö:


Waiting for job in Esbjerg port:

9h break near Amsterdam:


Foggy morning in Glumslöv rest area, on the E6 in Sweden:


Stopped in small fuel station on the E22 in Blekinge, on the way from Kalmar to Hamburg:


Arriving to Puttgarden, next morning:


On the Köhlbrandsbrücke in HH:



Some days later, heading down to the port again to pick up a container bound for Le Havre, France:


On the E40 in Belgium close to the French border:


Had to stop on the side of the road for some minutes to check the map. (And while I'm here, also the beautiful seascape )


Never been to Normandy before, beautiful place though:



Arriving to the port of Le Havre in the evening:


Unloaded, then I had to spend 2 days here because I could not find a proper job. Not a big problem though, at least I had time to check out the city, enjoying some good french wines, and cousine :


Then 2 days later I've got my trailer with a container ready, to take it to a farm near Brussels:




Next day, after unloading I've had to head up to Antwerpen for my next job:


Loaded two brand new tractors in the port, arrived from overseas:


Their destination is Kiel, so I'm going home:


Stopped in the evening on the A1 in Sittensen, before Hamburg:


Early in the morning, not so far from home:


Arrived to the destination, and unloaded the trailer at 6 in the morning, then parked the truck in the garage, time for some days off:

Got my Volvo nicely cleaned out, washed, and even repainted a little bit, before I'm leaving her for some weeks, while I'm going to Romania. #2.0hype!


Merry Christmas by the way!

[RedBull]

Nice Machine!

[La_FuAzz]

Nice shots and truck!

[Arvidsson-Källqvist]

Thanks RedBull and La_Fuazz

So! 2.0 has finally arrived (and it's AMAZING ), which means that DK Transport's Romanian daughter company DK East is starting to get it's shape.. I'm just packing inside the first truck of the company in Kiel, a Volvo FH 460 by ohaha (Has a little bug with the lowdeck chassis though, it doesn't have shadows underneath. But I can live with it for now)


Before starting the trip to east though, I had to pull up a container to Göteborg because my trailer to Cluj awaits me there. And I have to be as quick as possible. Here I'm just rolling trough the Vejlefjordbroen in Denmark:


Arrived to Göteborg around midnight, rushing over to the Norrsken terminal to detach: (Skanskaskrapan in the background)


Attached the new trailer. Just some paperworks and road planning to do, then we're ready to roll. (Actually to find a parking spot, because my driving hours are over, I'm gonna spend this night somewhere here in Göteborg)


Next morning, pulling onto the E6. Now let's head down to Trelleborg, I have a ferry to catch:


GPS routed me trough Poland, but I decided to ignore it in favour of the Autobahns, so instead of Swinoujscie, I boarded the ferry to Rostock. Then from there I'm heading towards Berlin trough this rainy night. I would like to enter CZ and stop there after the border:



Couldn't enter the Czech rep. though. I had to stop in the last Rasplatz on the German side. Next day I'm starting again:


Wow, I had a bad day, people. With a lot of smaller "bad luck's". A crappy driver almost hit me in Prague, I missed two exits (One, for which I somehow got into Brno, and got lost there), the Slovakian toll machine doesn't wanted to work... Awful day (anyway for the end of it, I'm entering Hungary, have to find a place to rest somewhere on the M1 before Budapest)


Next morning on the M0, over the Danube:


Not so far from home anymore.. Geting onto the national road 40 in Berettyóújfalu, the border from here's only around 20km:


Just stopped for a moment, along the DN1, between Oradea and Cluj. (There's a tiny scenery village/town which, judging by it's position, could be Huedin, the town where I grew up. Anyway great job on this stretch MIRFI )


Entering Cluj:


Backed onto the ramp at the Posped in the northeastern part of the city. Just a little more waiting for the papers, then I'm ready to find that garage to buy:


Found it, in the westend of the city. Now it's time for a little administration. (Finding drivers, ordering trucks etc.)


Took a little walk downtown in the evening :


PS: I have to say this is probably my best experience with ProMods so far! It actually do felt like going home. You guys made a perfect job! Long live ProMods!

Glad you enjoyed the trip!
