There were complaints about non-existing diaries lately and this isn’t anywhere near a diary but as Coffeeholic did diary without pictures I just post pictures without diary 
This time I try to post pics about artics as I think those have been “hiding” little bit in my previous posts 
I start with picture which is quite close to scenery what I see when looking out of window (well, not really as currently it’s pitch black and this picture seems to be taken at such day temperature was around 0C but I take some artistic freedom 
). Here is 6x4 Merc Actros 2653 giving more than enough power to pull this two axle trailer (what do you call this type of trailer, is it a low-loader?). Picture is taken just few days after New Year last year.
Little older trucks here. These Estonian trucks look like their best days are behind them. Going couple years back in time these trucks would have been almost best ones in Russian plates (not sure about Estonia) but currently it’s quite difficult to spot even 3-series Scanny in Russian plates. Taken at the end of January last year in southern Finland and I don’t remember worse winter ever than last year. There was practically no snow at the whole winter 
Not usual configuration but not wery rare neither. Ahola Transport is using these quite much as they can do delivery to Sweden with mid-axle-trailer and dump it somewhere to make delivery to Norway with artic. Tractor unit has liftable tag axle and snow chains which are “must-to-have”-equipments at Norway at winter. Picture taken at the beginning of March.
Quite basic Globe XL with 460hp waiting to have trailer loaded. Trailer is most likely heading to mainland Europe after it’s taken to docks.
I spotted this close coupled French artic and had to take photo as it was first stationary French truck I’ve seen in Finland. I’m sure he is quite pleased to have big 530hp V8 engine for doing tour around Europe but I’m sure he’d like to have bigger cab just like this Russian guy has:
These old US-trucks are quite usual sight to see in russian plates doing container haulage. Maybe someone over the seas recognaises what make and model this truck is and share this knowledge with us?
Another truck from Eastern Europe. Volvo Globe from Hungary with no signs of the owner of the vehicle or trailer. 420 hp gives still smooth ride for an artic even at full weights for doing euro work. Behind it is one kind of “logger” truck, Volvo FH16, which is collecting “energy wood” like stumps collected from forest after bigger logs are logged.
Here is proper logger with extendable log trailer which has one lift axle. Truck is parked in “lorry park” next to good cafe I described earlier in my diary. I’d bet that only air suspension you will find in this truck is under drivers seat and iron on everywhere else. 6x4 driveline and 16 litre 520 hp engine are chosen to help work on relatively hard conditions. I once asked about consumption of driver of similar logger and he said it is between something between 60-70 litre/100 km… Old FH16 is known to be little eager to eat juice but still this isn’t anything unusual in logger work. Take a note of the snow chains in front of drive axles. If this picture would have taken at winter those chains would be quite shiny… 
F12 still going strong in a company which has a reputation of not taking best care of it’s vehicles. I think some of you might have seen lorries of this same company in mainland Europe. I think that most of their lorries doing euro work are Stalis artics or rigid+mid-axles. Maybe some low roof Scanias also.
Here is truck and trailer owned by finnish company called Nybrok which is driving quite much to Europe. Tractor unit is R420 and rigid next to it is about 15 years old Finnish Sisu SK in military plates and it most likely has Fuller gearbox I think KW has posted picture of trailer with this same painting here year or two ago. I was then quite suprised to see picture in UK forum taken in somewhere Europe and in this picture was trailer with painting of yacht port only 20 km from where I spent my childhood 
Btw those yachts are located in “gulf” which locals know as a ■■■■ gulf
