Hiya Danne, cheers mate, just trying to do me best
But you on the other hand really have done your best, bloody hell mate, where have you been? Haven’t seen that much snow for quite some time 
It is a great setting though for a picture

Hi mate! We took them from Junsele to Lossen 25km from Hede.Yeah it was a rough tripp,the driving was ok but it was -29 celsius when loading. We were three trucks to load. Me the 770 and Ronny had the cat 365 and Kalle had the old cat 769,and the 769 didnt start. So it took 7 hours to start it… But the temp was only -25 in the afternon
Due to permit we had to go Junsele,Sollefteå,Östersund,Sveg,Hede and the Lossen.
When we got to Sollefteå it had started to snow heavyly but we pusched throu we had about 15 to 25cm powder snow on the road and snowdust kicking up like mad. But i like that kinda driving

Hi Mike! No i never deliver one up there,but have some ohter stuff up but it was some years ago. You will find some pic of it in my own threde in the photo forum 
I always like driving up north,friendly poeple and i find it relaxing to drive on propper winter roads.

And another little history lesson This time about Dabekausen. They were a well known firm in the south and they had several cranes as well. They were purchased in the early 90’s, a period when Dabekausen belonged to the v.d. Linde group.
Sadly enough Dabekausen doesn’t excist anymore, their operations were closed due to the financial crisis…

A real winter wonderland Danne Very nice pics indeed mate 
I had a quick look at the map, 'cause I’ve never been further up north then the line of Oslo-Stockholm, so now I know where it is, I can imagine it’s must be strugling at times up there… I’ve never been a great enthousiast about driving on those kind of roads, but that’s just lack of experience I reckon 
Bit of snow never hurts.It’s quite warm now -12c at the beginning of the week it was -38c.
You got a really nice house micke! I really dont minde the snow and driving in it newer boder me. But the cold,i hate it… had friend delivering up in tromsö in a scania R serie and when the temp whent to -44 his display whent dark only light was the head light on the truck…

Looks very nice indeed… from this side of the screen 
Last december I’ve done a tour to the Ukraine and the coldest we’ve got was -25, and I thought that was already cold enough, can’t imagine what -38 feels like…

I don’t think that modern day build lorry’s can cope with anything colder than -30, especially the electronics, everything just get’s blurred
hi pv83.I Think that if you live in a places like Scandinavia,Russia and Canada you accept that you may have up to 6 months of winter and adapt.The trucks we use in the mine have engine heaters , heated windscreens,double gazed windows etc so it’s not so difficult to work.If the temp goes into the -40s it can start to get a bit difficult.
I have had -52c in Eastern Russia and -56c in northern Canada.That was problematical.
Compared to many places the Scandinavians are very well equipped to deal with winters both with their equipment and mentality.
Just as a matter of interest where are you from. Mike
You just do it… good equipment and maintend gear is a must!
My clutch was wery slow so no fast down shifts,as long as your truck is runing then you at least have some heat. I didnt stop the motor until igot home,just to be save… but when passing Gävle 1.5hour from home it was only -5. Nice and warm ehh
Hello to you heavy guys. Great thread, great photos… Tell me please, do you have mates with you ? If so, are they with all the trip, or just to help you in loading ?. Many years ago in the UK, the drivers had one or even two mates, I’m just curious, thanks !!
Hi! Well im alone most of the time,if im lucky the guy who is operating the machine helps to load but thats unusual… Dont Know how its in ohter countries.

Yeah I see what you mean, just get the right “state of mind” so to speak and good equipment, I’ve never experienced anything colder than -30 a few years ago in Hungary, and to be honest if you just kept busy it wans’t a problem at all, but once you stopped working and have a cuppa then the cold would get into your bloody bones…
A mate of mine emigrated last year to Canada and already had -40 up north, same story, just keep busy and let the engine running and wear enough warm clothes.
Just read an article about the Yukon highway where temp. drops to -60, that’s no place for men to go…
Where do you think I’m from then ?

Hi pv83.I can agree about the temps in the Yukon and NWT as i spent 1 winter up in Tuktoyaktuk with my wife working .Lappland is almost ‘tropical’ in comparison.
I was merely curious[not nosy] as you mention both Canada and Holland in your posts.Having lived in Holland for many years i wondered if you were maybe one of them who has emigrated as several of my old work colleagues had the '‘North America\Canada’'Dream.Mike

Bonjour mon ami, ca va?
It’s just like Danne said, most of the times you’re on your own, so you have to be able to operate on most machines, and sometimes it takes a bit longer to figure out how it works, the new CAT wheelloaders and graders for example aren’t equipted with a steering wheel anymore, steering is now being done by joysticks, that took me some time to discover it… And if I really can’t figure it out, a simple ring to one of the collegues will sort things out
But in Germany (where else…) it’s due to the permit, the lenght, width and total mass.

No problems there mate , I’m dutch, born in Amsterdam.
But now I’m curious, what took you to Yukon then? And you’re born in England I presume?
