Won't the bridge collapse?
"The moon is made of blue cheese"
During my first philosophy classes, the strangest examples were used to make it clear that we do not know as much as we think. Can you prove that the moon is NOT made of blue cheese? Tough.
How can you know if what you experience during the day is reality, and what you dream at night is not? Maybe your dream is real, and what you experience during the day is a dream.
If you're driving on an unfamiliar road, how can you know that the rest of that road is actually asphalt, and not black mud that looks like asphalt? You've never been there before, so you can't prove that the road will stay hard.
This example reminded me of my first holiday in the Alps.
We drove over huge valley bridges with magnificent views, but also with an enormous depth below you. The family members with a fear of heights found that scary.
Fortunately, my father reassured us: those bridges are designed in advance to handle a bridge full of fully loaded trucks, and then a few times. Such a bridge does not collapse.
No, maybe not in the 80s, but now that we're 30 years later, sometimes yes.
A concerned lady calls.
'How many kilos can the bus load?'
She wants to know that. She has to go to Italy by bus.
Stories of collapsed bridges have made her a little scared.
I tell her that the loading capacity of each bus is listed on our website.
"But then you still don't know how heavy the bus is in total," she says worriedly.
That's right, I say, it doesn't say that. But there is a rule of thumb by which you can know that.
All vans that you can rent from us, you can drive with a B driving license. With that license you can drive in vehicles with a tare weight plus the maximum load capacity of up to 3500 kg. If you do not load too much in the van, you weigh a maximum of 3500 kg.
The bus with the largest loading capacity can be found here.
For heavy stuff you can best use this van. It can take over 1000 kg of stuff.
The bus with the largest loading volume is here.
The load capacity of this bus is lower because it has a furniture box and especially a heavy loading lift. That is at the expense of your load capacity.
Even though you can take more with you in this van (20 m³ of stuff), the load capacity is only 540 kg.
Feel free to choose one delivery van in the Geleen region from.
However, I cannot guarantee that a bridge in Italy will not collapse if our bus drives over it.
