Have you ever wondered about how vehicles can be compared with people? Especially those in which their drivers spend more than one day and travel tens of thousands of kilometers…?
The most common “second home” for drivers in the current era is the truck cab, and these cabs seem to identify with their “masters”. How many of you have experienced this? Hopping in a trucker’s cab and finding it’s just fitting to that driver? Drivers often gives names to their tugs, trying to “tame” them, “find a common language” between them, their vehicle, the road. Not only do truckers take care of their vehicles, but they also decorate them, creating something distinctive, unique.
And it pleases many, because our roads, on which these trucks every day deliver cargo become more cheerful, more interesting, more colorful.
Here’s a fun Scania tractor. As much as possible our often gray road world, this makes it a bit more bright and warm with colors.
This is a Scania tanker, actually, and it’s been referred to as “Shogun Truck.” It’s decorated in bright orange and asian paint designs. The model is a R620 and it’s apparently from Finland and belongs to a Mike Auvinen. It won a Nordic Trophy in 2008 and 2009.
