Why do trucks in the USA look so different from those in Europe?
What's the reason for this? And please, answers from truck drivers or former drivers, not people who work in an office and aren't familiar with this! Thank you.

Is it like in the app, that some subject areas are tested less and some more depending on the day/exam, or are the questions really completely mixed up?
Hello, I was at the driving school today for my first theory lesson and asked about the cost at the end. They told me the base fee was €280. My question now is, is that a bit more expensive or is it a good price? (I live in Frankfurt, Hesse)
Hey, so I'm having my first driving lesson today in an automatic car (I'm taking the B197 class). What will be covered in the first lesson? (I've never driven a car before, neither automatic nor manual) does anyone have any experience? I'm so scared, I'd love to just let it all explode. Is my fear…
Had my first driving lesson yesterday. My instructor only talked about himself and asked me about my life and so on. He didn't tell me much while driving whether I was making mistakes and what I should do. :/
If I have my own motorboat, am I required to carry life jackets for all adults? Thanks!
The Americans have a different mentality first. That’s why the U.S. motor vehicles have their own style. The Americans are on marketing and large vehicles, which like to be chromed and are often still decorated. The vehicles should look chic.
Another reason is the legal standards. With us in Europe the maximum length is limited. This makes sense, as in the densely populated Europe we can better plan the roads. In the United States, the deregulation under Ronald Reagan abolished the length restriction for trucks, only the cargo length remained limited. Thus, the tractors can be much longer and there is room for the long bonnet.
The road network is different with us. We have many narrow and curvy roads. There are our short, memorable and clear trucks in advantage.
Why do American trucks differ from European ones?In virtually all Europe, uniform truck tensions can be regularly maximum 18.75 m, saddle trains even only 16.5 m long. (The effective length of the loading surface is hardly different in this case, since the distance between the trailer and the tractor is greater than in the case of the tractor.

Hi, we have other weight restrictions in the EU, and most do not drive self-employed

yes because they have other brands making the other
That’s not the reason.
is simply the style finished XD
Then why does Volvo build hoods in America and front links in Europe? In Europe, Daimler Truck also almost only broke front links, while in the United States, hoods are built. In both cases the manufacturer is the same. At Volvo even the same brand.
