- Today we take our first major step in domination of the trucking world. We purchase our first truck! We also dig a bit into the logistical side of things and discuss selecting jobs, navigation, and fatigue management.
#ets2 #eurotrucksimulator2 #firsttruck
Join me on this career playthrough of Euro Truck Simulator 2, building a trucking empire from scratch! In this let's-play, we will be exploring the world of ETS2 following the release schedule of the map expansions. Beginning with the original content of the UK, Germany, and the surrounding countries. As we complete the discovery of cities and achievements, we will move on to each DLC as it was released, starting with Going East all the way to West Balkans. We will be keeping other mods to a minimum, with only a few installed to keep the HUD as minimal and unobtrusive as possible. Expect a journey of all the amazing sights SCS has provided us through the years, as well as lots of interesting trivia about the things we see along the way!

when I watched this video I understood how carelessly I chose my jobs
Yeah, they really give you a lot of options for sorting and finding exactly what you are looking for.
Same here I always just put what paid the most at the top and went with that
I started by taking out a big €400,000 loan to buy a garage for €180,000. Next, I bought some cheap used trucks. By upgrading the damaged parts and selling the old parts, you can get decent trucks for a fraction of the price. ( you don't pay full price for upgrades on used trucks as the worn out part still sells for cash ) I immediately hired drivers for these trucks and did some more quick jobs myself.
This strategy involves buying used trucks, using them for jobs, upgrading and repairing them, and then putting them in a garage with a hired driver. I continued this process, fixing up each truck and hiring drivers for them. I also got a curtain trailer for the company.
With this method, your drivers level up fast and generate a lot of extra income. Currently, I own two large garages, one medium garage, and 12 trucks. I just bought myself a brand-new truck for €400,000. Besides the jobs I do, I'm now earning about €80,000 per day from my hired drivers. that MAN truck you chose is very good, has great upgrades. it can do any job. its one of my favorites.
Good to know! My plan was to buy used for all my employees.
I miss playing ETS2! Thanks for helping me relive it! :)
Glad you are enjoying the videos!
Glad to see you went with the MAN! It's one of my favourite starter trucks, planning to upgrade to the DAF XD Sleeper once I hit the right level for it though 😁
Yeah, I didn't want to spoil it when I read your comment. It's a FANTASTIC truck, ticks all the boxes for me.
Awesome video as always🎉
Thanks Nomad!
Amazing Truck and video!
Thanks Mike!
Advanced coupling is much better and mods to change the icons are great too makes them cones instead of the massive flashing arrow
Really love this series. I've been playing pretty much since release and loved seeing how much it changed over time. I am from Birmingham uk, so on my main personal save, I always pick it as my starting location and main play with gaming controller through that time, and I crash a few times after buying a new truck myself 😂 and I ATS to because I like seeing the different parts of the US that's not as well known as like LA and NYC especially from people from there telling stories about different states and city there lived in or visited keep up the good work and hope you and your wife have a great vacation
I believe there was a mod that removed the gamey icons for parking, and replaced it with a coned area. Something to maybe consider if you don’t like the icons.
Thanks Ninja, I'll take a look at it!
You should give Wgt golf a shot
Thanks for the suggestion Declan!
@CovenantGaming I play it
User name Deemannrg maybe I could give you a game
The detective head was an excellent add-on.
It was an "elementary" decision my good man.
Hi Ken all your episodes are fantastic I have been busy with my children at Christmas 2 of my children died and my other children lost their mum 2 weeks ago
I'm so sorry to hear that! We will all be pulling for you during this difficult time. :(
Thank you for keeping my kids busy with your fantastic videos
nice vid but you really need a wheel and pedals for even more immersion
Yeah, a wheel/pedal/shifter setup is on the future TODO list.
@@CovenantGaming cool you will have lot more control check out the new hori setup or moza wheel .
How do we enable the horizontal strip of info at the top? Is that a mod or a setting?
It's a mod called Minimal advisor interface for ATS & ETS2. I use the version that puts it on he top of the screen, but there's another version that puts it on the bottom if you like it there better.
A used truck would of being cheaper
