Re: FF2: Filling in the Suburbs
Trip #8 of this totally-true-to-life-trucking-tour (that's TTLTT for short) as an 'agency' and freelance driver, and prospective owner operator - one day - haulin' utility poles from Eureka to Coos Bay. https://i.imgur.com/qlkKr6Y.png Despite there being a Walmart in Eureka, there was nothing suitab...

Re: FF2: Filling in the Suburbs
Today we’re driving from Redding to Eureka on the coast of Northern California. https://i.imgur.com/58jqYO8.png Nice early start down on the farm in an International LT with decent horsepower but no GPS. https://i.imgur.com/pXNnXPQ.png I’ve recently completed training on reefer operation, so it was ...

Re: FF2: Filling in the Suburbs
Today's job takes us from Truckee, California back a bit closer to my home base in Medford, Oregon - we're going to Redding. https://i.imgur.com/2LDBd0C.png This time, to 'get us through the mountains' they're providing a 370hp W900 with a 120 gal. tank. Seems a tad feeble for the task, but we did m...

Re: FF2: Filling in the Suburbs
After spending the night in some temporary accommodation for dock workers at the Port of Oakland, I was more-or-less ready for the next challenge – a consignment of TVs for Walmart in Truckee, east California. https://i.imgur.com/ZmjVzTm.png I can’t expect to get a job back to Medford from Oakland a...

Re: FF2: Filling in the Suburbs
Driving from Redding down to Oakland today in a 455 hp Peterbilt 579. https://i.imgur.com/DvQUQFm.png It's my first double trailer, so soon after joining the company. It seems I've been making a decent impression at least. All my jobs so far have been on time and damage free. https://i.imgur.com/By4...

Re: FF2: Filling in the Suburbs
This time - Medford, south Oregon down to Redding in northern California, delivering curtains from Home Depot to Walmart Logistics. https://i.imgur.com/3lU5cRj.png For some reason they provided a 500hp 389 sleeper cab for this job, but I'm not complaining. https://i.imgur.com/CUYnc0J.png https://i.i...

Re: FF2: Filling in the Suburbs
My employer fixed me up with a drive back from Eugene to Medford, this time behind the wheel of a somewhat stronger machine - a 505 hp Western Star 49x with a 300l tank. I'd thought I was going to run out on the way up from Medford to Eugene - no such worries this time. https://i.imgur.com/XndxG04.p...

Re: FF2: Filling in the Suburbs
Alright... I lied. Well, not quite. But I've just spent a couple of nights on a houseboat, and during that time I watched quite a lot of 'owner operator' videos - both real and ATS - and got inspired. I've been wanting to do something more realistic for a while, and to actually play the game as well...

Re: FF2: Filling in the Suburbs
This is the final set from ProMods' northwest Russia. Nikel is behind us, and we're heading for the border with Norway carrying a loader to a farm in Kirkenes. https://i.imgur.com/ckPfwBC.png At the second checkpoint out from Nikel. That broken sign and broken van... https://i.imgur.com/J1gLlWP.png ...

Re: FF2: Filling in the Suburbs
This time – we arrive at Nikel, check the city out and the area around, and then start our last journey north to the Norway border, eventual destination Kirkenes. https://i.imgur.com/S0MYExm.png One delivery of Heavy Metals to Nikel coming up. https://i.imgur.com/tq4Zd14.png McDonalds??
