Great read
But I only read American
Does Google offer a English to American
translation program yet?
WELCOME GOJACK!
Sorry, but I was always taught to shout at foreigners 
.
Don’t worry about a translater mate, I spend most of my time shouting at the TV because so many people are already speaking American.
I don’t mind that so much, but I do object to the fact that they think they are speaking English 
C’mon in y’hear? Set a spell . (Yes, I know most Yanks don’t talk like that but I’ve been watching too much TV 
)
Salut, David. (That’s French, pronounced Daveed, but I get by in here.)
Welcome to Trucknet Gojack
Welcome to TruckNet UK Gojack.
I can’t help with a translation program but maybe we could all help by answering any questions you have or pointing out things we know may cause you confusion.
I’ll start. If someone on here says they are going to “smoke a ■■■,” rest assured that is not what you think it is. 
And a ‘■■■ machine’ dispenses packs of cigarettes.

Hi, Gojack, also please, please, PLEASE do not discuss your fanny on here, you’ll get some friendly replies, but you may be disappointed.

Why all Cabovers?
Yes mate, length restrictions, there are a few conventionals about over here, but not many.
We have a few bosses Associations here (the Freight Transport Association and the Road Transport Assoc’ to name but two), who have the ear of the government, and their European equivalents. They effectively manage how transport is governed. So, to maximise load carrying space, trailers are up to 45 or 46 feet long and maximum length, for a standard artic (I think you would call them semi’s) is 16.5 metres or 59 feet roughly. However, we run at up to a maximum gross weight of 44t on a standard artic, a bit heavier than your mgw I understand.
Our city centres have smaller roads than yours (I think), so where we can get our trucks in and out with few problems, you would be doing well to get your unit in, let alone a 50 foot plus long trailer as well.
Just out of interest, what do you call cabover drivers, over there ■■?
(Please bear in mind our fairly strict language rules when answering , a line of [zb]s wouldn’t help much ).

Emm probably because we have a little bit less land than you guys so we need to restrict the lengths of cabs and trailers etc etc.
Fanny■■? is a dude a fanny? i missed something.
I was taught to speak very slowly to foreigners. Does shouting work better?
Yes “smoking a ■■■” takes on an whole new and much more violent, meaning in American.
A CO driver is usually called something like “The first man at the scene”
I have driven COs, the feeling that my feet were helping support the front bumper was a rather unnerving.
Yes 80,000 lbs is legal max vehicular weight here.
Higher with permits (fees)
Tons or Tonnes are not used for vehicle weights, pounds are.
Had not thought about it before but even the laws specify pounds.
I think ton is seen as a less specific measure?
Freightliner tried to get the law changed here years ago,
promoting a cabover called the Argosy that they had invested millions
in. They were trying to get the law changed to just a maximum truck length
from the current 53’ max trailer and 65’ max overall to just 65’ max length
giving an advantage to COs.
DOT (US Department of Transportation) was less than enthusiastic.
Never caught on with drivers either.
Are you guys mostly O/Os or company drivers?

(trying hard not to hit the auto-censor…)
“Fanny” is a slang term for a very intimate part of the female anatomy - the opposite side of the body from where Americans think the “fanny” is.

Well, it makes us all go 
and think “[zb] American…”

I suspect that American tons are different from British tons. There might also be a difference in the pounds as well.
Tonnes, however, are a very specific unit.

I’m a very occasional agency driver.

Nor is “laying” the table
And “knock me up in the morning” is not a ■■■■■■ act.
Well, it might be. Roll on Christmas.
