Im 71 retired semi driver. That seat is replicating the air ride seat in the truck cab. When you hit a bump or uneven road the seat kind of floats and moves back and forth. Easy on the kidneys. Very comfortable.Now that i have seen your video i might buy me a rig Lol.

[Budder]

Can't wait to buy this for $20 in the next garage sale

Omg top comment thank you! I only wrote this as a joke with my mate in the pub. Linus plz like

[galaxygaming]

I like to think that Linus just wanted to dress up as a trucker for some reason and the rest of the video was made around that

[CraftyWitch]

Absolutely love this game! Met my ex through it. He was running a VTC (Virtual Trucking Company) and I joined it, we got close and I moved 200 miles to be with him.

We're now separated but we had a good 8 years together and split amicably. We still truck together on occasion

As both a computer builder and an automotive fitter in the heavy vehicle sector, it was hilarious watching a bunch of pc tech guys ponder over the weight adjustable seat base like cavemen discovering a new stronger and better type of rock.

One of the reasons the game is still popular is that SCS Software engages their users, keeps the game updated and constantly updates the maps (for free), as well as provides new DLC maps on a regular basis to expand the world. They license real trucks and trailers, and have great cooperation with these companies to make them as authentic as possible. The game also has a huge modding base. But at it's heart, it's the experience of driving a big truck around Europe, and it's incredibly immersive.

If you'd rather drive an American big rig on the Interstate, American Truck Simulator is equally as good, and are expanding the maps constantly (going west to east, they're up to Nebraska)

[keonyang]

American stereotyping for a european based game. What a fun mix.

[DenilsonSa]

As one of the people who built the "ets2-mobile-route-advisor", one of the early ETS2-GPS-in-your-mobile-phone tools, it's nice to see how people still enjoy the game and how people have built much more advanced dashboards.

[gedavids]

That face where Linus was thinking real hard about the trailer to mechanics to figure out how he wanted to move, I've been there in real life. :P

Trucker fun facts:
1. It is VERY hard to stall, you dont use the throttle while letting out of the clutch. Even on hills.
2. The pee jug thing is actually pretty common
3. Police dont need a reason to pull you over, they can literally decide to just pull over blue trucks because its Tuesday.
4. Generally speaking, we can only be inspected/cited by state certified police, which is pretty much only state police, so if you see a sherriff ignoring a speeding truck, its because he cant do much.
5. When using an engine brake, the truck engine doesnt burn fuel, so technically the engine isnt running while theyre activated.
6. Truck brakes have springs that keep the brakes applied, they need air to push back on the springs to release, and another flow of air to push against THAT supply to brake. So if an air system fails on a truck, all of the brakes are set. No air = no move.
7. Seriously we pee in pop bottles sometimes
8. Typical truck transmissions have 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, or 18 gears.
9. Truck tires are typically inflated to 105 to 110psi
10. Semi trucks routinely achieve 1 million miles, some well over 2 million.

Been a receiving forklift driver for 10 years. The longest I've seen a truck take to back in was a Swift driver who took 45 minutes. We have a very large lot with lots of room to maneuver. We occasionally get new truckers who take 10-20 minutes, but it was quite something to watch a truck go back and forth for 45 minutes.

No idea why but that "Haha you lost 80 f*ckin Euros" got me 😂😂😂😂

[Crashjr]

As a truck driver and a computer nerd. This was a fun watch. And yes, the longer the distance from the 5th wheel, to the trailers axles, the longer it takes to respond to your steering inputs. I can back a 53' into a tight spot easier than a 12 foot landscape trailer.

[goneriggin]

Just a tip from a 7 year trucker. Currently hauling jet fuel.

The only thing I’ll gripe about (I’m holding back, lol) is the brakes aren’t “backwards.” Push to release, pull to apply the brakes.
Also, when backing. Hold your hands at “9 and 3” and lift the hand that you want the trailer to move to. Want the trailer to move left? Lift your left hand. Shorter the wheelbase, the more twitchy the trailer will be. This also works better when you don’t have the wheel in an exaggeratedly flat position like you guys did, haha. I’d say normal is about 45° or less.
Keep on truckin’.

Years ago I built a ridiculous fanatec sim rig for iracing with the best pieces you could get at the time (~8years ago).. one day I'm sitting in the living room downloading American Truck Simulator thinking it'd be a stupid little game to tinker with for a few hours... we'll as the download finished, a buddy came over (it was a Thursday) with Costco pizza and 40s. I was playing and showed him the game... "dude you want to drive trucks and drink 40s?" And so we did... after a few hours there were 3 or 4 of us building a trucking empire... drinking 40s, flipping trucks, running stoplights, failing to back up trailers... having a good time...

From that day forward we had a regular Thursday hangout that we called "truckin and 40s". The trucking never stopped. Those were the glory days 👌

[syd_luna]

I've been playing ETS2 and ATS for over a decade now, and there's always something new to discover in these games. Probably the most chill sim gaming experience.

So many hours hauling loads across Europe and western USA. So glad LTT took a dive into the most serious gear to play these games, lol!

[ssaaffuu]

Man, I miss Euro Truck Simulator! Last time I fired it up, I got so into it that I spent 6 hours hauling cargo just to bail my driver out of debt. It was like a digital road trip of financial redemption. Good times, good times!
