Hi

Can I have mod

Jk

[@ColumbusCupKid]

Remember, when driving for swift, you are contractually bound to hit at least one car.

[@alexdeuel8845]

Agreed

[@vecnsx]

yep

Or put it in a ditch at least once a week

As someone who got their license and haven't played this game I gota say the mechanics are on point. Roads are realistic, truck customization is cool...However, the way the cars drive like their rational people (because theyre AI) is completely unrealistic. In reality people will be doing the stupidest shit you've ever seen, every, other, turn. Take it from me, I'm a local driver.

[@TheFormalPickle]

There’s a mod for that haha

I drove for swift for a year or so. I drove as owner/operator and drove an average of 4k miles a week. My pay stub showed that I owed them money every week. However according to the IRS my truck had been paid almost 200k. Come to find out that the managers are known for stealing funds from the drivers. So if you want to use a realistic mod for swift make sure you owe money after driving max hours low weight.

[@Maartwo]

Did you ever get that money back? What a bunch of rats.

[@8mandown]

Did you ever get that swift thing strait

after looking at the thumbnail of the video i thought it would be a motivational video about how a guy started his own million dollar company with 0$

Its crazy how spot on the game creates the denver area because me myself lives in Denver, Colorado and I noticed that a lot of the areas he was driving through was many places I go through as well

[@thesovietrat]

Same with the springs

[@joechilds3256]

As a receiver on a truck loading bay. Your docking on the first stop was perfect. A bit of an angle will not harm the offload.

[@ROT4RYfc3s]

Dang.. I drive a tractor trailer for a living and should've brought my PC with me and play with you guys in ATS if I got a good internet connection that isn't my phone Hotspot. I bought a few of the DLC maps for ATS and never even tried them and idk how long I'll be out on the road before getting home for a few days.

[@Nickearl1]

I also drive truck and we have a VTC. The realistic economy mid still isn’t that realistic, the most I’ve ever gotten is $11 a mile on a load lol

Yo! I live in CO and make this drive all the time and it’s scary how accurate this is!

[@crash_course_gaming6290]

I severely dislike the AI in this game cuz of the accidents and always merging into ur trucks.. which is y i started running a no damage mod

[@DodgeR1998]

I'm a Truck dispatcher and i don't know how it is realistic for trucks, AI and etc. But the prices paying for the milages you do on the game are unrealistic. On 1000 miles you get $2000-2500 in real life, other than that it's just a dream.

[@wmgthilgen]

There's an issue with starting and playing until one can afford their own truck. Regardless of taking out a loan as soon as possible, which I didn't want to do. "EVERY TIME" I took a job, having to set the mirror's is a real pain in the area in which one utilizes when they sit. As one who also started with, though I utilized the GDC economy mod. I was eventually forced, when I just couldn't put up with it any longer. The constant mandate of having to adjust the dam mirror's was going to be a game breaker, loving the game, I broke down and took out a loan. Bought my first day cab, adjusted my mirror's, once. The issue now is because I play as realistic as a video game and a few mod's will allow. I've been forced to engage the DEV area, so I can sleep. Because in the real world, if and when driving a day cab, meaning, no sleeper. One cannot log sleep time. And if the DOT check's, you'd better have some upto date hotel or motel receipt's. Toughed it out, put in the miles and have finally got a sleeper. I really enjoyed the ability to drive any truck, take any load, and go anywhere. But the consitant having to adjust the dam mirror's, each and every time. Almost caused me to retire from the game. Which when I was an actual OTR with an excess of two million mile's. Loved to play after my real retirement.

[@redbelliedgaming]

I've been doing a similar series but with a realistic economy mod, so that makes it super hard to expand but it's really fun

[@Sharter_]

It’s really cool seeing towns that I drive to all the time since ima Coloradan and it’s kinda like I’m on a road trip with my family when I was a kid

[@StillWestern]

Wow, I live like 5 minutes from where you were picking everything up in denver and it’s identical.. that’s insane

[@RedGallardo]

Should have stated you'd go with harder game mods in the name, not a clickbait. ALL ATS games start with 0 money and 0 trucks. Having a truck in this game is optional and often less profitable since driving your own truck you can only take jobs from the current location, 4-8 jobs, most likely junk. While in Quick Jobs you get a truck, free gas, free toll-booth money, free repairs and you can choose the most juicy jobs anywhere. Like urgent+fragile+important+heavy+double trailer 1500+ km. And it's little challenge, nothing depends on you, you just move from A to B. No impactful decisions. Either you gain enough money or not, you can't affect it. And since you don't need a truck, you don't need to spend anything. So it doesn't matter if you get $400 per day or $100,000.

[@UraniumProd1]

As a guy who lives in CO, the locations are almost realistic

[@confederatetexan7642]

Love the videos man!

Good to see the old Viper2 379 alive and well!

I mean if you sit up in seat and look a lady in the eyes and she points at you to go ahead and then you look over and the rig next to you signals you to go first your not expecting the lady on the right to "think" oh he must of signaled to me to go and pull right in front of you in the 2 seconds your interacting with the truck to your right.
