Trucking Diaries EU - Episode #1 (Euro Truck Simulator 2)

Welcome to Trucking Diaries EU - my full let's play career series of Euro Truck Simulator 2. Starting out with nothing you will see me build my trucking empire one episode at a time!

MY GAME MODS (One tab per game)

Before I even watch the video I like it!

A fun thing would be if you bought a classic truck as your first truck. It kind off makes it more realistic because you would normally start your company with a old truck like a old scania, daf, mercedes ETC. There are many good moods for old trucks like that. :)

Oh, no! You can tell, Paul, has been hooked on to ATS, when he says "Highway" instead of" Motorway"...

Started watching this to make me not make mistakes in the game

Did you see the sign that says Fart Kontrol? That's danish for speed check.

Since you drove this episode, much water has passed under the bridge! I enjoyed the trip with you, and your commentary. I used to drive, and survived about half a million miles in Canada and US. My daughter and her partner have discovered the American driving sim, and my daughter, who has been with me on for a week-long trip in southern US, corrects him, tells him that he can't do certain things... which is really funny! Anyway, here we are, under Covid-coloured skies, and I thank you for a fun journey.

When I first started playing ETS2 I was 9 or something idk so when I was driving with my €1 steering wheel, I drove really badly. I hit cars, hit signs fences and was driving way to fast. It took me an irl year to get my first truck which was a white MAN with a sleeper cabin and the standard chassis. After some driving I started upgrading my truck and the money that I was making went into the truck, repair costs and fines. After a while I was €-40.000 in debt and I kept receiving e-mails from the bank until the one came that if I did not pay back the money soon they would take my truck. They did. I lost my truck and after that I became more serious, and bought a red DAF XF 105 with a 6x2 chassis and sleeper cabin. I kept that truck for a long time without buying upgrades. Then I got cheat engine and there is where i started buying stuff, game got boring because I had everything already and I deleted my account, created a new one. Few years later I'm 14 I am a Volvo fan and I drive one with my Logitech g920 and the shifter, and I ordered a shifter replacement from America that will arrive in a week or so. I already know how to shift with a 12 speed Volvo gearbox only the range and splitter are on my wheel.

Btw.
1. The glass walls on bridges are for avoiding wind AND people not trying to kill themselves. Even on the motorway.
2. There actually ARE IKEA stores in Odense, Aarhus and Aalborg. Also in Gentofte and Taastrup.

Glad I could help :D

Nice to see Jeff has managed to land a job in Europe!

[Sparkle]

This is the first vid I’ve ever seen from you, and I instantly love your channel! You are so calm.. it’s nice to watch these while doing homework- or just relaxing, as I don’t need to give my full attention to it. :)

[jimg]

Great vid Paul. Lovely to see a new career from the start. BTW, the 01580 dialing code on the trailer is from Kent. Keep up the gret work

[jacobneiman]

Am I the only one who thinks this is very peaceful to watch?

[julianrossi]

I'm pretty sure the glass walls on the bridges are to stop people from throwing rocks onto boats and ferrys beneath and its glass instead of a wall so you can still see through onto the river. At least that's what they are for in AUS were i am living.

[autobahnwaybab]

On 22:36 thats a sound barrier. You can see it everywhere in the europe apart from UK

[reus]

Not to be rude or anything, but as a dane myself, I can very much hear that you pronounce Odense and aswell other danish cities wrong, however I truly understand you, because danish is a little weird if I should say so. I've listed a few tips for the pronounciation below, if you should be interested! :)

Odense: O'ense - that way, you can get very close to the way we danes pronounce it nowadays :)

Frederikshavn: Frederiks havn - Pretend there is a space between "Frederik" and "havn" and do not let it be "shavn". It basically means Frederik's harbor.

So far with all the other cities in the game, I must say you're doing a good job with their names! ! ;-)

Keep up the good work!

[unfortunately_fortunate]

you dont pay for refuelling when youre driving a company truck, my dude!
refuel all you want, its my fave game mechanic & with the radio on it reminds me of road trips my family took when we were kids!!

[michaelgaunt]

Liked and subscribed. I surprisingly found this a really enjoyable video to watch. I always thought I'd find the truck sim games boring but this has actually made me want to go out and buy the game! Love how you talk your way through the video too, kept me entertained and watching. Especially the remarks about the Renault Glass Smash! :D Keep up the videos, thanks for this one. :D.

Those walls on the bridges, we have something similar here in Canada but they are usually made out of fencing material or something that resembles metal blinds, we mainly have those to prevent people from committing suicide by jumping off... but in your case it did seem to be solid plastic or glass so I guess they could also be used against noise.

1. Scania 2.Volvo 3.Man 4.Daf 5.Mercedes 6.Iveco anyone agree?

[flyingmachine]
