So basically this is a day in the life of a swift driver

LOL! As a 23 year veteran truck driver, these are mistakes you can make in RL trucking. There are pictures of everyone of these not turning out so well for the driver.
The first year as a driver is a crash course (literally). I found the more stressed, nervous, scared you are the more you are likely to make a mistake. Respect the responsibility, but don't fear it.
ATS is meant to be a simulator to RL trucking. So I say mission successful. ATS is a great game that does very well at a simulator of the real deal. In some ways its harder (backing trailers due to mirrors, floating gears, IE), and others it is lacking (long/tall mountains to ascend and descend, much of the map and facilities is to easy to maneuver). Some mods do help make it better.
I love ATS. My trucking and gaming friends laugh at me when they see me playing it on my time off. I actually find it a nice way to relax and whined down after work.
The real deal is way more stressful. If 420 is legal in your state, than weekend evenings get really hair raising at times. The stoned driver will sit at the stop sign and wait for it to turn green. The drunk driver will blow right through it.
Keep the shiney side up!
If your tired take a nap!
You can go down mountains to slow your entire life. But only once to fast, your whole life left!
The day you think you know everything is the day you should quit driving!
Know your height, and take into consideration 6 inches of snow pack.
Never trust a bridge height sign! You don't know how many times they may have paved that road since the sign was placed (east coast anyone).
Never trust the directions you get from someone at a facility, they don't understand how big and heavy you are. Oh and that GPS Nav system is just as bad!

Even tho u can’t damage your truck like that in ats unless u got the crash mod

[ObsoleteNewChannel]

For the road rage one if I’m cruising on the speed limit and there is one truck or car and it can be on the highway or two lane road and I mostly drive in Oregon and I take a lot of two lane roads, so I get kinda close to the car and I slow down a little and then the car brakes in front of me causing me to slow down till I’m am almost stopped and then drives away and while I’m stopping I blare my horn, also very good video you have earned yourself a sup great job

[Truckgamer]

Whatever that crash thingy is. WHERE DID YOU GET THAT, IMMA NEED THAT

[MrBlack.]

Since when does ATS show truck damage like that first one? This is not wreakfest?

[kimtaewoo]

Whenever there is a truck which is 1mph slower than me, I will be triggered and get into rage mode.

I drive for a VTC that is called Swift Transportation! This represents us lmaoo

[JakubSemoda]

Road raging, crop controling, and going trough drive thru, are the things, which driving me absolutely mad… Why? Because good morning kids, you don’t play GTA right now! You’re playing playing game, which was meaned and created abouth driving carefully, keeping the law, stopping at red light, and driving/playing it as you would be professional driver, not a gangster, racer or road pyrate this time. Like yes, it is just a game. A game which is supposed to bring you real life professional truck driver life. Mine biggest problem is looking around. I live in Slovakia, and I’ve never been in the US yet, so I can not enjoy views of Hoover Dam, or dring through GG bridge. J

As a noobie ATS driver, i never tried to go check out the crops, i didnt even know that was a thing, also finding out that some of the new maps contained secret hidden roads, i went to the one i saw in a video, and then i tried look for one myself, i saw a road that was open and had no wall, and so i tried to drive through it, and i half my druck in and fell through the map, so ever since i never leave the blacktop ever. But i will admit to the drive through but not with a trailer, the truck is already bad enough, also some drive throughs are okay, but its best to use a car or pickup truck if you want to enjoy the drive throughs also note that if tou are using a semi and happen to find a suitable drive through, you will have to watch for the honing, also here is a pro tip, if you are hauling a tall load, and are going through places with low bridges, it is okay to put your hazzards on and stop for a sec to go into the camera mode and take a look at the height of your tuck and the heights of your load, that way you wont get stuck, i never had that happen but it could happen to you,

[Cluez]

OMG!! I literally just did No. 5 last night in the exact same place taking the exact same load. Hit that damned pallet of 2x4's !!!

[shakenama]

At 4:30 You tell everyone you were driving like that because you didn't have any brakes 😀

[MinistryOfMagic_DoM]

Lol that first one is so manufactured it's amazing. It's not wrong though.

[mmbidiwilliam]

The trailer part he really wanted to prove a Well done mate😅

[ComdrStew]

I use to go through the Wendy's drive through in West Chester, OH at 5909 Muhlhauser Rd, in a daycab. They didn't have any low clearances, lol.

[LSRG-YT--LandonSRobloxGaming]

3:57 what model FREIGHTLINER was that? I SO NEED THAT GUAGE SETUP IN MY TRUCK!

[erikwilliam]

The drive thru bit is more possible with a day cab without a trailer or hight restriction.
I have gone through a drive thru with a pickup and trailer, only time i do that is when i know i have room to fit or turn without running over curbs and i don't have a load.

[adamhartley]

Nice, when did they put that damage engine in? Computer has been capput for ages.

[autisticspacetrucker]

It's just like that in real life too, I've seen so many drivers drifting off track during mirror checks
