Long-Haul Trucking in the USSR. Soviet Cab-over Trucks

Russia seems to have the most beautiful women in the world😮😮😮

Мало кто знает но был ещё специализированный Маз 6х4 с полуприцепом 3-ёх осным один раз довелось на таком ехать экспедитором почти 1 600 км везли шкафы для электростанции хрупкий и крайне дорогой груз модель уже не помню но в тырнетах почему то никто не показывает эти автопоезда такой же похожий прицеп через 20-ть лет я увидел в гейропах умеют же они воровать технологии

Recently, I've seen American built trucks on Google Maps inside Russia. There was a Kenworth tractor pulling a sea container in one picture I saw near Kazan.

А что страйки не приходят за использованные киноматериалы из советских хроник?

Да нет , там искажение на карте меркатора , не такая уж и большая советская россия , она не в 2 раза протяженнеее америки

Это у тебя канал Америка Изнутри чтоли называется , и ты женат на американке , ездишь на хонде на работу на элеткростанцию и живешь в мичигане? Я тебя по голосу узнал. Еще к тебе приходил Портнов.

The commonality of long haul trucking in the US is a failure of infrastructure and is NOT a good thing. Goods moving over any significant distance should be moved by rail.

So wait. Working class people would leave an authoritarian country on a regular basis and they still found the way to make you come back every time.
I’m pretty sure there must’ve been a lot of defections but going forward makes me think we have no chance against AI or an AI enabled dictator!

You even have to log 4 Deutschemarks? Why bother with just 3 Deutschemarks? Hows a self-respecting customs official supposed to stamp 2 Deutschemarks...

Cool video and always cool to get to know more about soviet trucks! Here in Finland, soviet trucks were pretty much for military use only, since soviet trucks i think were the best for offroading compared to western trucks. But for civilian use we mostly had finnish SISU trucks, with cummins or Rolls-Royce engines most commonly, there were scanias, Volvo commonly and a handful of mercedes. the Sisu SR was probably most important for operation of logging and peat industry, long nose powerful trucks with usually a cummins NTE 😂 The army used mostly ZiL and Kraz trucks and we still have some GAZ 3308 Sadko's

Hello John Wayne Cheeseburger :)

Not trucking, the USSR had more freight train traffic than in America

I have komm across snippets of the music piece used during the very introduction

Always interesting ❤❤❤

Not boring, at all. I said it as a new subscriber.

A nice variety of cars to choose from , a Lada or a Lada !

You've an interesting channel and I'm sure you're an ok guy but I can only feel pure hate and revulsion for Russia and Russians for what you are doing to Ukraine.

Something funny. When I was growing up i thought Soviet woman was all big body builder's. An old ladies. But now I m see in Ukraine and Russia woman are very attractive. I should've known that because I live in a slavc neighborhood. And they are pretty also.

Any Volvo I've driven has been better than Mercedes- and more fuel efficient. The other Swedish make, Scania, are better again!

another way to earn "valuta" dollars for the drivers was to sell diesel to people

Mercedes-Benz were definetly not considered better than Volvo trucks.

Imagine youre a truck driver beyond the urals, you have to deliver loads from trans-siberian railrod to every town village and city without railway access. Oof.

Great video! Very informative ! Thank You!

I remember to saw this trucks in France when I was child on the A4 Paris Sarrebruck. There's only thus guys on the mitorway to Paris.
They had the Meecedes and behind Trailor, Fruehauf with carrosserie Lamberet for the frigo's units

Do Ukrainian tractors show up when one breaks down?

Soviet big country SMALL brains 😅

Imagine living somewhere anything of good quality or in demand needs to be smuggled in, but believing when the government tells you your country is the best at everything...

The German term: Sattelschlepper= автопоезд, Sattel=седло, Schlepper=трактор

"Saddle Tractor" actually makes sence even here.
I was actually born in Germany but came to the US at 3 and remeber watching the Berlin wall fall on CNN.

You know as an American truck driver myself I don't really care for European truck designs at all but I love the Soviet truck design

An extremely tough breed...especially in winter.

Free those truckers! And all others.

the Skoda 706 trucks being the best trucks in the soviet side of the curtain? not surprising, its also the best trucks in the Soviet Republic city builder game too

To think that American Trucks back in the 70s had anywhere from 300 to 600hp from the factory.. Air conditioning, power steering, full sleeper cabs. Those Soviet drivers were definatly tough.

Its neat to see that there are a lot of American rigs that have been imported to Russia.. they seem to love them.

Fun fact, the train rails in Finland ar of the same width as the ones in the Soviet Union, they still are.

I want that Old and Historical Trucks from all countries come to ETS2

TIR always

I remember driving trucks across Siberia in the early 90's , to overtake the painfully slow Kamaz in front of you , you took your life in your hands...You are on a single carriageway road , you cannot see through the enormous cloud of black exhaust smoke to the left of the truck ahead , therefore you cannot see anything coming down the road towards you and you cannot see the state of the roadsurface either , so , cross your fingers and go for it.....

Thanks, Sergei! Very interesting and all the photos are cool to see. Love that the last photo is of a Kenworth. I'm subscribing with white bell because the lives of real Russians is of interest as opposed to the gangsters who currently control the country.
Going back for Part 1.
Cheers from Ottawa, ON

anyone else think the trucking company's name sounded like Softer&Softer?

Could it be that Mercedes truck were purchased from Yugoslavia? FAP (Fabrika automobila Priboj) made MB trucks under licence since 1970's.
