Cargo is what allows you to purchase Features, MK Upgrades, and Color Crystals.

Defenders are off-hand melee equipment that are wielded in the off-hand slot and provide positive offensive and defensive bonuses. They are the melee equivalent of reprisers and rebounders. Defenders, reprisers, and rebounders have a +3% accuracy boost and 1/15 chance to decrease the damage taken from a hit by 50-100%, which also increases the player's accuracy for their next attack by 20%.

Defenders allow the use of both dual-wielding and shield abilities. For scaling defensive abilities, defenders are treated as shield half their tier. For example, a Kalphite defender scales to a tier 45 shield. Their damage style is stab. To wield a defender, a player must have an Attack level high enough to wield a weapon of that metal and a Defence level high enough to wear armour of that metal.

Dungeoneering[editedit source]

The Flameburst defender is a defender obtained in Dungeoneering. Like all other Dungeoneering equipment, it can only be used within Daemonheim, and cannot be removed from a dungeon. Unlike normal defenders it requires only a defence and magic level to wield.

When wielded with a Frostbite dagger, the dagger has an accuracy boost of 10%, however its normal maximum hit is decreased by 10.

Obtaining defenders[editedit source]

Defenders are non-tradeable items. The metal defenders (bronze through dragon) can only be obtained by killing the cyclopes or the cyclossus on the top floor of the Warriors' Guild. Twenty warrior guild tokens (or 15 if in multitoken mode) are used up for every minute spent in the cyclops room. Eventually, a cyclops will drop a bronze defender, and when a player has this, they need to show that to Kamfreena who is located just outside the room. The next time that player enters, Kamfreena will inform the player that the cyclopes will now drop the next-tier (iron) defender. The player will then have to kill cyclopes until they eventually receive this drop. This process is continued for steel, black, mithril, adamant, and rune; until the player finally gets to the dragon defender.

The time needed to obtain a defender varies and it generally takes between 700 and 2,400 tokens (about 1–4 hours) to get to a rune defender. However, it may take over 10,000 tokens to get to Rune, if you are extremely unlucky.

The corrupted defender requires the player to obtain a corruption sigil from the Barrows chest, and use it on a fully repaired or new Dharok's greataxe, Verac's flail, Torag's hammers or Guthan's warspear.

The ancient defender requires the player to obtain an ancient emblem from killing Nex, and use it on a chaotic splint, a reward from Dungeoneering.

The kalphite defender requires the player to obtain a perfect chitin from killing the Kalphite King, and use it on an off-hand drygore rapier, off-hand drygore longsword or off-hand drygore mace.

Like the original defenders, the previous defender must be carried or worn for the components to be dropped.

If a player loses their defender, they will need to start over. Because of this, it is wise for a player to keep duplicate/lower-tier defenders in their bank, so that they can show Kamfreena and start on the defender they dropped. For example, if a player loses his or her dragon defender, but has a rune defender in the bank, the player can show Kamfreena the rune defender and not be forced to start over. Alternatively, the player can obtain two or more dragon defenders which only take up one bank slot.

Once a certain defender has been dropped, it is still possible to obtain lower tiered defenders. By using a lower level defender on Kamfreena, she will put out cyclops that drop one higher than that level, for instance, to obtain more rune defenders, wield a rune defender, but use an adamant defender on Kamfreena. The new cyclops will drop rune defenders and can do so several times if the room is not left, or the received rune defender(s) is/are banked before entering the room as Kamfreena automatically checks the inventory and gear (but not the bank) of the player for the highest defender when entering.

Option responses[editedit source]

Use defender on Kamfreena - 'I have a [metal] defender, please let me in to kill some more cyclopes!'

Kamfreena responses -

• Bronze - 'Bronze eh? The next cyclopes are ready, toddle in when you're ready.'
• Iron - 'Wow, iron eh? The next cyclopes are ready, toddle in when you're ready.'
• Steel - 'Strong as steel eh? The next cyclopes are ready, toddle in when you're ready.'
• Black - 'Black, hmmm, about half way to Rune then! Keep going! Cyclopes have been released, enter when you're ready.'
• Mithril - 'Mithril? Getting good at this aren't you? Ok, I've released those cyclopes that sometimes drop adamant defenders, enter when you're ready.'
• Adamant - 'An adamant defender, eh? Trying for the Rune defender I'm betting. Ok, I've released those cyclopes, enter when you're ready.'
• Rune - 'Well done, you truly are a brilliant warrior! I've released some cyclopes that may well drop a dragon defender, enter when you're ready.'
• Dragon - 'Well done! You truly are a warrior of the highest order! I've released the cyclopes; enter when you're ready.'

Trivia[editedit source]

• Defenders seem to be based on a main gauche (left hand), or parrying dagger, which is a defensive weapon used in fencing and rapier duels
• The defender's special ability to block damage applies to nearly all kinds of damage, such as poison damage, that from failing an agility obstacle, or hard typeless damage.
• The inventory icon was slightly altered on 9 June2010.
• The look of the defenders were updated on 9 August2011.
• Prior to the release of dragon defenders on 7 December2010, it was possible to alch defenders, with rune defenders generating 30,000 coins, adamant defenders generating 17,000 coins, and lower level defenders generating between 300-7,000 coins.
• Defenders gained the ability to use defence abilities on 30 November2015. The same update added level 70, 80, and 90 melee defenders, with ranged and magic variants following shortly afterwards.
• Currently there is a bug with the damage of the magic and ranged variants. The damage from levels and equipment is halved. The damage (for both ability damage and off-hand damage) on the equipment interface shows the damage of an off-hand weapon of the same level as the repriser or rebounder.

Made in AlgeriaA truck or lorry is a designed to transport. Trucks vary greatly in size, power, and configuration; smaller varieties may be mechanically similar to some. Commercial trucks can be very large and powerful and may be configured to be mounted with specialized equipment, such as in the case of,. In American English, a commercial vehicle without a trailer or other articulation is formally a 'straight truck' while one designed specifically to pull a trailer is not a truck but a 'tractor'.Modern trucks are largely powered by, although small to medium size trucks with exist in the US, Canada, and Mexico.

In the European Union, vehicles with a of up to 3.5 t (7,700 lb) are known as, and those over as. Main article:Trucks and cars have a common ancestor: the steam-powered fardier built in 1769. However, were not common until the mid-19th century. The roads of the time, built for horse and carriages, limited these vehicles to very short hauls, usually from a factory to the nearest railway station.

The first appeared in 1881towed by a manufactured. Steam-powered wagons were sold in France and the United States until the eve of, and 1935 in the United Kingdom, when a change in road tax rules made them uneconomic against the new diesel lorries.Internal combustion. Daimler Motor-Lastwagen from 1898In 1895 designed and built the first truck in history using the engine.

Later that year some of Benz's trucks were modified to become the first bus by the Netphener, the first motorbus company in history. A year later, in 1896, another internal combustion engine truck was built. Other companies, such as, and, also built their own versions. The first truck in the United States was built by in 1899 and was available with optional 5 or 8 horsepower motors.Trucks of the era mostly used engines and had a carrying capacity of 3,300 to 4,400 lb (1.5 to 2 t). In 1904, 700 heavy trucks were built in the United States, 1000 in 1907, 6000 in 1910, and 25000 in 1914.After World War I, several advances were made: pneumatic replaced the previously common full rubber versions., power, 4, 6, and 8 cylinder engines, closed, and electric lighting followed. The first modern semi-trailer trucks also appeared. Touring car builders such as and Renault entered the heavy truck market.Diesel engines Although it had been invented in 1897, the did not appear in production trucks until Benz introduced it in 1923.The diesel engine was not common in trucks in Europe until the 1930s.

In the United States, Autocar introduced diesel engines for heavy applications in the mid-1930s. Demand was high enough that Autocar launched the 'DC' model (diesel conventional) in 1939. However, it took much longer for diesel engines to be broadly accepted in the US: gasoline engines were still in use on heavy trucks in the 1970s. Etymology. This section possibly contains.

Please by the claims made and adding. Statements consisting only of original research should be removed. ( February 2020) Truck is used in, and is common in, and, while lorry is the equivalent in, and is the usual term in countries like,. The first known usage of 'truck' was in 1611, when it referred to the small strong wheels on ships' cannon carriages. In its extended usage it came to refer to carts for carrying heavy loads, a meaning known since 1771. Its expanded application to 'motor-powered load carrier' has been in usage since 1930, shortened from 'motor truck', which dates back to 1901.' Lorry' has a more uncertain origin, but probably has its roots in the industry, where the word is known to have been used in 1838 to refer to a type of truck (a as in British usage, not a as in the American), specifically a large flat wagon.

It might derive from the verb lurry (to carry or drag along; or to lug) which was in use as early as 1664, but that association is not definitive. The expanded meaning of lorry, 'self-propelled vehicle for carrying goods', has been in usage since 1911. International variance. Further information:In the United States, Canada, and the Philippines 'truck' is usually reserved for commercial vehicles larger than normal cars, and includes pickups and other vehicles having an open load bed. In Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, the word 'truck' is mostly reserved for larger vehicles; in Australia and New Zealand, a pickup truck is usually called a (short for 'utility'), while in South Africa it is called a bakkie (: 'small open container'). In the United Kingdom, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Ireland, and lorry is used instead of truck, but only for the medium and heavy types, while truck is used almost exclusively to refer to.Types by size.

Dost in Tamil Nadu in IndiaPopular in Europe and Asia, many mini trucks are factory redesigns of light automobiles, usually with bodies. Specialized designs with substantial frames such as the Italian Piaggio shown here are based upon Japanese designs (in this case by ) and are popular for use in 'old town' sections of European cities that often have very narrow alleyways.Regardless of name, these small trucks serve a wide range of uses. In Japan, they are regulated under the laws, which allow vehicle owners a break in taxes for buying a smaller and less-powerful vehicle (currently, the engine is limited to 660 cc displacement). These vehicles are used as on-road utility vehicles in Japan. These Japanese-made mini trucks that were manufactured for on-road use are competing with off-road ATVs in the United States, and import regulations require that these mini trucks have a 25 mph (40 km/h) speed governor as they are classified as low speed vehicles.

These vehicles have found uses in construction, large campuses (government, university, and industrial), agriculture, cattle ranches, amusement parks, and replacements for golf carts.Major mini truck manufacturers and their brands:. Cab beside engineThe 'cab' is an enclosed space where the driver is seated.

A 'sleeper' is a compartment attached to or integral with the cab where the driver can rest while not driving, sometimes seen in semi-trailer trucks.There are several possible cab configurations:. ' engine' (COE) or 'flat nose'; where the driver is seated above the front axle and the. This design is almost ubiquitous in Europe, where overall truck lengths are strictly regulated, but widely used in the rest of the world as well. They were common in North American heavy-duty trucks, but lost prominence when permitted length was extended in the early 1980s. Nevertheless, this design is still popular in North America among medium- and light-duty trucks. To reach the engine, the whole cab tilts forward, earning this design the name of 'tilt-cab'.

This type of cab is especially suited to the delivery conditions in Europe where many roads follow the layout of much more ancient paths and trackways which require the additional turning capability given by the short wheelbase of the cab over engine type. The COE design was invented by. 'Conventional' cabs are the most common in North America and Australia, and are known in the UK as 'American cabs' and in the Netherlands as 'torpedo cabs'. The driver is seated behind the engine, as in most passenger cars or pickup trucks.

Many new cabs are very, with a sloped hood and other features to lower drag. 'Cab beside engine' designs also exist, but are rather rare and are mainly used inside, or other specialist uses that require the vehicle to carry long loads such as pipes, metal rods, flat iron and other construction materials. This type is often custom made from a regular cabover truck that gets the upper half of its cab removed on the passenger side and replaced by an extended section of the bed.A further step from this is the side loading that can be described as a specially fabricated vehicle with the same properties as a truck of this type, in addition to the ability to pick up its own load. 6.7L medium duty truck diesel engineMost small trucks such as (SUVs) or, and even light medium-duty trucks in North America, China, and Russia use (petrol engines), but many models are now being produced. Most of the heavier trucks use diesel engines with a.

Huge off-highway trucks use locomotive-type engines such as a engine. Diesel engines are becoming the engine of choice for trucks ranging from class 3 to 8 GVWs. A large proportion of refuse trucks in the United States employ (compressed natural gas) engines for their low fuel cost and reduced carbon emissions.A significant proportion of North American manufactured trucks use an engine built by the last remaining major independent engine manufacturer but most global OEMs such as and promote their own 'captive' engines.In the European Union, all new truck engines must comply with emission regulations.As of 2019 several alternative technologies are competing to displace the use of diesel engines in heavy trucks.

CNG engines are widely used in the US refuse industry and in concrete mixers, among other short-range vocations, but range limitations have prevented their broader uptake in freight hauling applications. Heavy and are still in the prototype and field-testing stages, although media reports indicate that there is substantial interest in them from major freight haulers. Drivetrain. Eaton Roadranger 18 speed 'crash box' with automated gearshiftSmall trucks use the same type of as almost all cars, having either an automatic transmission or a manual transmission with (synchronizers). Bigger trucks often use manual transmissions without synchronizers, saving bulk and weight, although synchromesh transmissions are used in larger trucks as well. Pickup truck frame (right rear view)A truck consists of two parallel boxed (tubular) or C‑shaped rails, or beams, held together.

These frames are referred to as due to their resemblance to a ladder if tipped on end. The rails consist of a tall vertical section (two if boxed) and two shorter horizontal flanges. The height of the vertical section provides opposition to vertical flex when weight is applied to the top of the frame (beam resistance). Though typically flat the whole length on heavy duty trucks, the rails may sometimes be tapered or arched for clearance around the engine or over the axles. The holes in rails are used either for mounting vehicle components and running wires and hoses, or measuring and adjusting the orientation of the rails at the factory or repair shop.The frame is usually made of, but can be made (whole or in part) of for a lighter weight.

A may be found attached at one or both ends, but heavy tractors almost always make use of a hitch. Body types have insulated panels as walls and a roof and floor, used for transporting fresh and frozen cargo such as ice cream, food, vegetables, and prescription drugs. They are mostly equipped with double-wing rear doors, but a side door is sometimes fitted.('tilts' in the UK) have walls and a roof, making an enclosed load space. The rear has doors for unloading; a side door is sometimes fitted.have a rotating drum on an inclined axis, rotating in one direction to mix, and in the other to discharge the concrete down chutes. Because of the weight and power requirements of the drum body and rough construction sites, mixers have to be very heavy duty.('tippers' in the UK) transport loose material such as sand, gravel, or dirt for construction. A typical dump truck has an open-box bed, which is hinged at the rear and lifts at the front, allowing the material in the bed to be unloaded ('dumped') on the ground behind the truck.have an entirely flat, level platform body.

This allows for quick and easy loading but has no protection for the load. Hanging or removable sides are sometimes fitted.('artics' in the UK) have a fifth wheel for towing a semi-trailer instead of a body.('tankers' in the UK) are designed to carry.

They usually have a cylindrical tank lying horizontally on the chassis. Many variants exist due to the wide variety of liquids and gases that can be transported.('recovery lorries' in the UK) are used to recover and/or tow disabled vehicles. They are normally equipped with a boom with a cable; wheel/chassis lifts are becoming common on newer trucks. Sales and sales issues Manufacturers.

Inside a Mack truckIn Australia, a 's license is required for any motor vehicle with a (GVM) exceeding 4.5 t (9,900 lb). The motor vehicles classes are further expanded as:Combination. HC: Heavy Combination, a typical prime mover plus semi-trailer combination. MC: Multi Combination, e.g., B Doubles/road trainsRigid. LR: Light rigid: a rigid vehicle with a GVM of more than 4.5 t (9,900 lb) but not more than 8 t (17,600 lb). Any towed trailer must not weigh more than 9 t (20,000 lb) GVM.

MR: Medium rigid: a rigid vehicle with 2 axles and a GVM of more than 8 t (17,600 lb). Any towed trailer must not weigh more than 9 t (20,000 lb) GVM. Also includes vehicles in class LR.

HR: Heavy Rigid: a rigid vehicle with three or more axles and a GVM of more than 8 t (18,000 lb). Any towed trailer must not weigh more than 9 t (20,000 lb) GVM. Also includes articulated buses and vehicles in class MR.Heavy vehicle transmissionThere is also a heavy vehicle transmission condition for a license class HC, HR, or MC test passed in a vehicle fitted with an automatic or synchromesh transmission; a driver's license will be restricted to vehicles of that class fitted with a synchromesh or automatic transmission. To have the condition removed, a person needs to pass a practical driving test in a vehicle with non-synchromesh transmission (constant mesh or crash box). Inside a Mercedes-Benz truckDriving licensing has been harmonized throughout the European Union (and practically all European non-member states), so that common rules apply within Europe (see ). As an overview, to drive a vehicle weighing more than 7.5 t (16,500 lb) for commercial purposes requires a specialist license (the type varies depending on the use of the vehicle and number of seats). For licenses first acquired after 1997, that weight was reduced to 3.5 t (7,700 lb), not including trailers.

India There are around 5 million truck drivers in India. South Africa To drive any vehicle with a GVM exceeding 3.5 t (7,700 lb), a code C1 drivers license is required. Furthermore, if the vehicle exceeds 16 t (35,300 lb) a code C license becomes necessary.To drive any vehicle in South Africa towing a trailer with a GVM more than 7.5 t (16,500 lb), further restrictions apply and the driver must possess a license suitable for the GVM of the total combination as well as an articulated endorsement.

This is indicated with the letter 'E' prefixing the license code.In addition, any vehicle designed to carry goods or passengers may only be driven by a driver possessing a Public Driver's Permit, (or PrDP) of the applicable type. This is an additional license that is added to the DL card of the operator and subject to annual renewal unlike the five-year renewal period of a normal license.The requirements for obtaining the different classes are below. 'G': Required for the transport of general goods, requires a criminal record check and a fee on issuing and renewal. 'P': Required for the transport of paying passengers, requires a more stringent criminal record check on, additionally the driver must be over the age of 21 at time of issue.

A G class PrDP will be issued at the same time. 'D': Required for the transport of dangerous materials, requires all of the same checks as class P. In addition the driver must be over 25 at time of issue.United States. Inside a Navistar 9000In the United States, a is required to drive any type of commercial vehicle weighing 26,001 lb (11.8 t) or more. The federal government regulates how many hours a driver may be on the clock, how much rest and sleep time is required (e.g., 11 hours driving/14 hours on-duty followed by 10 hours off, with a maximum of 70 hours/8 days or 60 hours/7 days, 34 hours restart ) Violations are often subject to significant penalties.

Instruments to track each driver's hours must sometimes be fitted.In 2006, the employed 1.8 million drivers of heavy trucks.There is a shortage of willing trained long distance truck drivers. Part of the reason for this is the economic fallout from of the trucking industry., in the economics department at and co-author of Sweatshops on Wheels: Winners and Losers in Trucking Deregulation, argues that low pay, bad working conditions and unsafe conditions have been a direct result of deregulation. The book cites poor working conditions and an unfair pay system as responsible for high annual employee turnover in the industry.Professor Belzer states low pay, bad working conditions and unsafe conditions have been a direct result of deregulation.

'This book argues that trucking embodies the dark side of the new economy.' 'Conditions are so poor and the pay system so unfair that long-haul companies compete with the fast-food industry for workers. Most long-haul carriers experience 100% annual driver. Environmental impact. With an auto-transport carrying cars in, WalesTrucks contribute to air, noise, and similarly to. Trucks may emit lower emissions than cars per equivalent vehicle mass, although the absolute level per vehicle distance traveled is higher, and is especially dangerous for health.

EPA measures pollution from trucks. With respect to, trucks emit considerably higher sound levels at all speeds compared to typical cars; this contrast is particularly strong with heavy-duty trucks. There are several aspects of truck operations that contribute to the overall sound that is emitted. Continuous sounds are those from rolling on the roadway, and the constant hum of their diesel engines at highway speeds. Less frequent noises, but perhaps more noticeable, are things like the repeated sharp-pitched whistle of a on acceleration, or the abrupt blare of an when traversing a downgrade.

There has been put in place to help control where and when the use of retarders are allowed.Concerns have been raised about the effect of trucking on the environment, particularly as part of the debate on, so many countries are lowering limits on truck CO2 emissions.According to a 1995 U.S. government estimate, the energy cost of carrying one of freight a distance of one kilometer averages 337 kJ for water, 221 kJ for rail, 2,000 kJ for trucks, and nearly 13,000 kJ for air transport. Many environmental organizations favor laws and incentives to encourage the switch from road to rail, especially in Europe.The is moving to ensure that charges on heavy-goods vehicles should be based in part on the air and noise pollution they produce and the congestion they cause, according to legislation approved by the Transport Committee. The scheme has been proposed, whereby new charges would be potentially levied against things such as noise and air pollution and also weight related damages from the lorries themselves.A 60-ton tractor & trailer at 80 km/h needs 168 kW: 41% (68 kW) to overcome the, 38% (64 kW) for the, 9% (15 kW) for the auxiliaries, 7% (12 kW) for the & and 6% (10 kW) is lost in uphill/downhill. Operator health and safety. Truck cab filter housing using a contiguous series of pre-, HEPA, and charcoal panel filtersA truck cab is a that protects the truck operator from hazardous airborne pollutants.

As an enclosure, it is an example of an. Enclosed operator cabs have been used on agriculture, mining, and construction vehicles for several decades. Most modern day enclosed cabs have (HVAC) systems for primarily maintaining a comfortable temperature and providing breathable air for their occupants. Various levels of filtration can be incorporated into the HVAC system to remove airborne pollutants such as, diesel particulate matter (DPM), and other.Two key elements of an effective environmental enclosure are a good filtration system and an enclosure with good integrity (sealed isolation from the outside environment). It is recommended that a filtration system filter out at least 95% or greater of airborne respirable aerosols from the intake airflow, with an additional recirculation filtering component for the inside air. Good enclosure integrity is also needed to achieve to prevent wind-driven aerosol penetration into the enclosure, as well as to minimize air leakage around the filtration system.

Test methods and mathematical modeling of environmental enclosures are also beneficial for quantifying and optimizing filtration system designs, as well as maintaining optimum protection factor performance for enclosure occupants. Operations issues Taxes Commercial trucks in the US pay higher road use taxes on a state level than other road vehicles, and are subject to extensive regulation. A few reasons commercial trucks pay higher road use taxes: they are bigger and heavier than most other vehicles, and cause more wear and tear per hour on roadways; and trucks and their drivers are on the road for more hours per day. Rules on use taxes differ among jurisdictions.Damage to pavement The life of a pavement is measured by the number of passes of a vehicle axle. It may be evaluated using the Load Equivalency Factor, which states that the damage by the pass of a vehicle axle is proportional to the 4th power of the weight, so a ten-ton axle consumes 10,000 times the life of the pavement as a one-ton axle. For that reason, loaded trucks cost the same as thousands of cars in pavement costs, and are subject to higher taxes and highway tolls.

Commercial insurance Primary liability insurance coverage protects the truck from damage or injuries to other people as a result of a truck accident. This truck insurance coverage is mandated by U.S. state and federal agencies, and proof of coverage is required to be sent to them. Interstate trucks in the U.S. Are required to have a minimum of $75,000 in liability insurance. This includes motor carriers operating vehicles with a gross weight rating in excess of 10,000 lb (4.5 t) (which transport non-hazardous materials).

All motor carriers operating vehicles transporting materials classified as hazardous, and which have a gross weight rating in excess of 10,000 lb (4.5 t) must have a minimum of $1,000,000 in liability insurance. All motor carriers operating vehicles such as hopper-type cargo vehicles or tankers with a capacity in excess of 3,500 US gal (13,000 l) must have a minimum of $5,000,000 in liability insurance. Pricing is dependent on region, driving records, and history of the trucking operation.Motor truck cargo insurance protects the transporter for his responsibility in the event of damaged or lost freight. The policy is purchased with a maximum load limit per vehicle.

Cargo insurance coverage limits can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more. Pricing for this insurance is mainly dependent on the type of cargo being hauled.Trucking accidents.

Trucking accident at 2012-03-23In 2002 and 2004, there were over 5,000 fatalities related to trucking accidents in the United States. The trucking industry has since made significant efforts in increasing safety regulations. In 2008 the industry had successfully lowered the fatality rate to just over 4,000 deaths. But trucking accidents are still an issue that causes thousands of deaths and injuries each year. Approximately 6,000 trucking accident fatalities occur annually in the United States. Fatalities are not the only issue caused by trucking accidents.

Here are some of the environmental issues that arise with trucking accidents:. 14.4% of trucking accidents cause cargo to spill. 6.5% cause open flamesFollowing increased pressure from The Times 'Cities Fit For Cycling' campaign and from other media in Spring 2012, warning signs are now displayed on the backs of many. These signs are directed against a common type of accident which occurs when the large vehicle turns left at a junction: a cyclist trying to pass on the nearside can be crushed against the HGV's wheels, especially if the driver cannot see the. The signs, such as the winning design of the launched in March 2012, advocate extra care when passing a large vehicle on the nearside.Truck shows. Custom truck at a truck showIn the UK, three truck shows are popular – Shropshire Truck Show at Oswestry Showground during May, The UK Truck Show held in June at, and FIA European Drag Racing Championships from the home of European Drag-Racing. The UK Truck Show features drag-racing with 6-tonne trucks from the British Truck Racing Association, plus other diesel-powered entertainment.In Mexico, the ANPACT Autotransporte – Truck Show is well known as one of the biggest of the region; 2013 edition features trucker celebrity.Truck shows provide operators with an opportunity to win awards for their trucks.
