Veteran Expediter
had a wonderful time visiting Israel ,
only for 2 weeks this time .
first day was Jerusalem day , visiting the Holly places , and giving a long prayer at the closes place one can get to god .
then off to the South , to celebrate my Sister wedding .
over 14 peoples came from the state (one is pregnant...)
and about 650 guests .
what an amazing family i got ! ,
very well done wedding , you know it is a good wedding - when the mother of the groom is fainted flat out in front of everyone...
then after the 5 days celebration ,i was to go up north ,spend a day mountain biking with some friends , before having another 3 days touring the north ,mainly by foot ,with 4 of my older brothers . Just a great time all the way around , and the food is to die for !
along the way , i got a chance to test-seat the 2009 Volvo FH660 , and the new Scania R , it is amazing how better the driver environment on those truck then what we have back here .
also , those trucks came with 3 separate breaking systems ,2 steer axles ,& fully automated transmission ,very interesting .
on my last day , i stopped to visit a friend , he is the operating manager of a large fleet , and he took me to the DAF garage .
at that day , they had a DAF45 ,(a straight truck up to 15 tons), that needed 2 injectors ,and a flush of the Oraia system ,do to a bad fuel stop .the shop manager took the time to answer all of my questions about the Egzost Fluid technology .
very interesting.
over all big trucks in Israel , are shorter , stronger and way heavier , then what we have here .
as to you van drivers , it is a sham that all we have to choose from is a Sprinter or a Sprinter .
over sees , the Sprinter have a very hard time from its European competition .
The ford Transit is the choice of mosts cargo houlers , and the Fiat Ducato , and the Peugeot supper van is very popular for passengers transport .
but by far the most's common van is the Iveco .
in the Pict. below , you can see :
Thermo King Global , service unit using a Sprinter .
the Fiat Ducato ,
2002 Volvo FH 550Hp, up to 80 ton rig .
2008 volvo
the Egzost system on the DaF45.
i have many more pict. , but it takes forever to upload .
most of all cargo transport in Israel , will be consider Expedite , do to the short travel ,and exclusive use of the truck .
it was an overwhelming vacation , and now i'm back in the truck , up in New England , have couples of drops , before heading back to California.
if any of you planing a Vacation in Israel , shoot me an Email , i can help you make the best out of it .
(o.k the heck with it ,it wont upload the pict.'s , ill try later , got to go now...)
