Whilst I think about it…Scanias with the mid-lift in the up position are much higher on the front with a double decker.
This^^^^^ Had an assessment drive with Asda at Didcot yesterday, big notice in the training room warning about running with the midlift up (Scania fleet) as “it can raise trailer height by up to 6 inches” and you would be inadvertently over the height you think you are at.
Ffs, just measure it. It’s ■■■■■■■■ saying you can’t run with a raised axle as a hard fast rule. Is it really that difficult to get a tape measure out?..
How can it be ■■■■■■■■ if you are running an empty 16’ 3"" DD with a Scania, and having the midlift up could mean the difference between a bridge strike or not?
Surely if the company in question was your own, you would also make a hard fast rule? Prevention better than cure etc…
No I wouldn’t, but I’d provide drivers of double decker with measuring sticks, in fact all drivers should have a tape measure as a minimum in their kit bag. You need to know what height you’re running at.
