Hard Trucking - a life on the road

[Bocaj]

Hello my name is Jacob i am a real life truckdriver and when i am home in the weekend i use alot of time to drive virtually. I think i got hit by a truck as a kid i just cant get enough of trucks
in this thread i will show my virtual life on the road.
i like to keep it as close to RL so i use a couple of plugins and mods for top pleasure, they are following:

Promods (ofcourse!!!)
Grimes seasons
Tachograf plugin from Knox-xxs
Virtualspeditor from xyzan
EVR sounds
Nvidia profileinspector (for proper AA and better performance)
...and a couple of more small visual ones

My company is located in Copenhagen, DK and there is only me to make the money!
I mostly go from Denmark to Sweden, France and UK!

typical trucking i end up in a less ideal parking, but at least there is safety from the streetlights, i hope the night goes well!
