More than just sandals and meatballs

Ever since I was a kid I've had a soft spot for Scania trucks.

As I was cruising up the National Highway today, I noticed a few Scanias and thought they deserved an entry.

Scania trucks certainly look distinctive on the road - like another well-known Swedish brand.

Their appearance isn't ostentatious. They lack the chrome of other movers, opting instead for the utility of black plastic. Their lines are generally squarish, utilitarian. They simply say, in an understated way, "If you've got something that needs hauling, I'll do it. And I'll be here tomorrow if you need me again."

In a Lego-like way, I think they're beautiful trucks. These guys also seem to have some of that same quality.
