Well, I'll keep this topic for future updates (photos from trips mostly since some of you asked for that; if I'll survive of course) instead of opening a different one.

Anyway, I'm officially hired, I'll be driving only in Romania from Monday to Friday. Truck is an ancientass 380bhp Scania which despite its looks, it actually drives pretty sweet (has 910.000km)...and it's a manual too...

Not much else to say....I've never been more terrified in my entire life then I am right now. If I could run in a cave and never come back out, I'd do it. It's not really hard to drive trucks but it's insanely easy to make a mistake. And mistakes in a 40 tone truck are a serious thing.

That's pretty much all, not sure when I'll start, most likely next Wednesday.

How about only club founder can purchase? Minimum funds should 1m+ so airports won't be full of them.

Say hello to my new piece of crap.

My wooden box can run this shit too

NOS will probably ruin everything, wheels look like shit (I mean seriously, have you actually looked at the way a truck looks like with custom wheels?) and hydraulics are useless.

yes and yes, using both of them

well, after almost 6 months, it has finally come to an end. Ended my last exam some hours ago, got lucky because the examiner could've failed me for a mistake I did but in the end, it turned out to be well.

Papers will arrive in 4 weeks, apparently I'm allowed to work until they arrive but only in my country...not sure if I'll do that or not.

Anyway, I'm finally a truck driver...on paper...

that's easier said than done xD. Got close to wrecking the car twice after avoiding a cat and a dog. It will take some time to get used to a completely new driving style but it ain't so bad.

By far the best thing that will make my life a lot easier and enjoyable is that 90% of the trucks here are automatic.

well, just an update: on Saturday, I passed the hardest exam that I had to go thru (120 questions to answer), they scheduled me on the 9th of September for the practical exam. This one will be the last exam. From what I've heard, the examiner in this case, won't really care about how you're driving, he's interested more in how you're handling the tachograph.

So yeah, theoretically, in 10 days I should be ready to finally start working...well, not really...need to wait 3-4 weeks for the papers to arrive after that. But anyway...

@Fish sure, and if everything goes well, I'll start the YouTube project by January.

Thanks guys. I've been to the office which deals with the transport licenses today, got my shit for studying (only have like 700 questions to know and answer and a shittone of other crap).

Good news is that they're collaborating with some transport companies and they made me some good work offers. The paycheck is pretty big considering I'll be a newbie with no experience, however, I'll have to drive from Austria to the UK and back on and on. Not really looking forward to driving on the wrong side of the road thru constant rain. But hey, muneh iz muneh!

robbing securi cars? Yep, it's allowed due to the lack of players.

Time to brag 

Ok, 5 years ago, I discovered this server which pretty much kept me occupied during my last high-school years. Back than I was still dreaming about getting my car license and a car; trucks were present in my life only in CT. Real trucks were something far, far away. I was still in high-school (not even the last year). 5 years later, here I am, in the same room, with the same desk, same chair, same PC and same server. But with one big difference, I'm now legally allowed to drive trucks. I had my last truck driving school related exam last Thursday (truck+trailer) which ended successfully. I waited for this moment all my life and now it has finally come.

The hard part comes now, the truck driving school is over but now I'm required to get my transport license so that I'll be allowed to work as a truck driver. So 2 more exams for me at the end of August. Hopefully I'll be done with everything at the beginning of September.

...and btw can your pc handle a 70mb mod? xD

Nope...I mean the game won't crash but it will start loading like a bitch every time I'll get near the truck.

Btw, make a flickr account and upload your screens there. You got plenty of stuff to share.

But how do you get the car on the ramp?
