Containertransport from northern Europe

[Arvidsson-Källqvist]

More pictures incoming, from my latest trip:

Loading early in the morning in Kiel the destination is Viborg (DK)


Entering DK at Padborg:


After a short and pleasant drive on the E45 i finally arrived to Viborg, unloaded, and quickly attached another trailer, heading back to Hamburg:


I stopped at Padborg for some rest:


And starting again next day at 01:00:


Arrived safe and sound in the port, the motorway was almost empty. Detached. Time to go home:

New trip on the way:

Went to pick up the new job from Flensburg. Fully loaded with fresh fish from Norway bound for Antwerpen:


Overtaking a slower colleague on the A1 betwen Hamburg and Bremen:


Cruising in the afternoon trough Holland:


After some rest on the Dutch - Belgian border, at 3:30 i'm ready to enter Belgium:


Arriving to the port of Antwerpen early in the morning:


After unloading, I couldn't find a proper job so I went to a nearby parking, to wait some hours:


In the afternoon it started to rain, but I found a new job, taking a tanker container from Antwerpen to Luxemburg:


It was a quick ride, after some hours of driving I'm finally entering Luxemburg:


And then arriving to the unloading point...


From here I took a job for SamSkip, taking one of their trailers to Copenhagen:


Before leaving Luxemburg I went to refuel. Many trucks waiting at the fuel station for some cheap Luxemburgish gas :


Then I've stopped for the night just after entering Germany, near Aachen:


To be continued...

I liked the old livery. It was very nice.

[Arvidsson-Källqvist]

Yeah, I liked it too, but I wanted to do something more original. To give my trucks a more nordic feel. It's my first actual truck skin (I've did trailer skins before) and it's still in a WIP stage, so it will probably improve through the time.

Loving this thread. As a RL Container Hauler (Box-Jockey ) i planned something like that in the southern area (Hometown Munich) but i see it is in good hands already. Keep going.

Nice to see you posting again mate. Great pics!

I'm liking the new livery. If you ever need a hand with skinning, just give me a shout.

[Arvidsson-Källqvist]

Thank you volker.weich and MrAnthony, I'm glad that you guys like it

Anyway here's the next part:

After a night spent near Aachen, next morning the trip continues to Copenhagen. This was shot on the bridge over the Rhein in Köln:


Heading to Puttgarden to catch the ferry to DK:


Just a short 45 minutes sailing, and then we're on Danish soil:


But I had to take some rest in Rödby:


Next day, early in the morning arriving to Copenhagen:


Detaching in the terminal:


Then going back to Kiel (this time empty):

Some new random images:

After a delivery from Kiel to Oslo, I had to drive down with a trailer to Rotterdam. Passing trough the Schiphol Airport:


In the port of Rotterdam:


From here, back to Scandinavia, this time to Malmö (S). And the weather... Well yeah, it's "Reining" heavily.


Passing trough the Öresundsbron next day:


Then from Malmö back to Groningen - Holland with two containers:


Passing the dutch border near Leer:


Just some paperworks to be done, and after that it's time to find a resting place:


Next morning I've got another container to deliver. Destination Aalborg (DK). (Looks like I just can't go home... )


Entering Germany. Today the A28 was pretty busy with many "talented" drivers.


Arriving to the destination in Aalborg around 6 in the afternoon:


I'm running out of driving time, but I got a new container waiting for me in Viborg that goes to Hamburg. So I'll better be fast:


After attaching everything just became a mess... Heavy rain, heavy traffic, narrow roads with even more narrower roundabouts, trafic lights, and the nearest truckstop miles away... But then finally arrived somehow, though I exceeded even the 10 hour driving program with like 15 minutes



Anyway, I started next day 4 in the morning and arrived in the port of Hamburg around 9:


And from here final;y I'm ready to go home:
