Owner Op | Ep5 | Realistic Economy | American Truck Simulator

[@norconster]

I’ve been running the realistic economy + gas for a couple days now, and just bought my first truck (using 2 100k loans because I would have to pay 100k less in interest (I’m an accountant )) and I found out that it costs more than 300k to upgrade my garage… let the grind begin.

[@gamingrech6769]

I took 500,000$ loan 🤣🤣🥲 I feel the grind too 💀💀

[@Marauder_SolProvision]

took a $500k loan and blew it on 3 of the Pete 350s (hired drivers) and a garage upgrade. Grinding to level 10 to get that next loan for a K900. The 350 is cool, but 'lawdy lawdy lawdy' i can't handle being stuck at 45mph on the freeway

[@ICGarchive]

Love the truck. Hope to see you build it up instead of just replacing it. You should get another old rig like this with a sleeper cab

[@igorkratka]

Yeah, this old truck can hauls no worse than new ones. Just to choose from more powerful engines 280+ horsepower available after progressing a few levels up. I drive it myself. It`s great!

[@user-wm9pj2xj7z]

Deep grove up in Washington love that log sight high up on the mountain

[@TruckinDavo]

Love the channel and series. Only seen you on twitch couple times. Gonna try and catch ya more. Trucker IRL as well. Love ATS. Love ETS as well but to many damn mods to keep up with

[@b9bot148]

Nickel and diming it is very true with the realistic economy mod for sure.

[@lh32186]

What’s going on mike, I’ve been doing realistic profile did some job, took a lil loan and I started with outlaw 359 worn torn flattop. Balancing maintenance, fixing up the truck and Fueling is challenging. lol fun tho

[@zacharywhitney8204]

Since my little brother doesn’t have his own pc we are “co owners” of the same company on a realistic profile and I’ve been trying out no gps currently lost somewhere in Texas

[@michaelkimmey8182]

This series is great. Keep up the good work.

[@themetalknight2005]

i wish that other truck drivers could pull into the drop off areas. it would be like real trucking and would add challenge to the game.

[@octanejimmy]

Worst thing I ever had to back was a HEMMTT (military 8x8) with a Water buffalo. Thanks for the video!

[@MJAWRLD724]

This series alone inspires me to do this and do trucking in real life.

[@sameer745100]

my wife dont understand how i can get out of the real truck and then play trucking sim all weekend lol

[@DofDPlays]

Loving this series. Really makes the game a challenge and if you dont look out you can actually can go broke :P

[@thebmainbandit]

Been running the realistic Econ out of austin with coast to coast on! It’s been pretty fun! Money is tight but the immersion is more important lol

[@MJAWRLD724]

You should buy ur own trailer you would get more money because it has more options also I suggest for the trailer either- Flatbed, tanker, or Dumper

[@DirtyCivilian14]

Great mod, definitely adds more to the sim

[@dustind3960]

Next truck should be a peter built 352 with dd 8 71series amd 18 speed transmission

[@b9bot148]

I did buy Oklahoma and even if you have other states if you buy the great plains pack you still get a discount. I paid $10.50 instead of $11.99 for Oklahoma even though I had all the rest of the state DLC's.

[@KerboOnYT]

Same

[@Dyanosis]

Wow, you'll be able to buy something off the dollar's menu. Or not... Does that menu even exist anymore?

[@b9bot148]

Thursday which is today while I am writing comments here the KW 900 performance pack DLC is coming out, oh boy!

[@damienknight8354]

Coast to coast would be cool

[@Reckless_Dave]

I could watch this all day 🔥 keep ‘em coming My Guy

[@RumblerGaming]

is $175 really a "realistic" number for a journey that long? I always thought owner operators got way more than that per trip..

[@MikePettGaming]

It’s 50/50. I’ve been referring to this almost as a “veteran mode” some guys are crazy to take loads like that. It’s not “unheard” of. Is that make sense lol

[@RumblerGaming]

@@MikePettGaming ah yeah that's fair, understandable, thanks for your reply! actually been enjoying watching the full trip videos :)

[@frankgonzales5038]

Okie here so Oklahoma is called the Sooner state

[@mohdriz6274]

Awesome cruise. 👌 was wondering how do u have the gps in middle bottom and top..

[@sterlingwilbanks5162]

I bought a drop deck soon as I could seems to working out pretty well for me.

[@osaker205]

Great episode! I just wanna know what skin youre using for the truck pls!

[@MikePettGaming]

It’s just a stock color but the modded transport skin was created by Nattyice who’s in the discord!

[@b9bot148]

I took out a $250,000 loan. Totally crazy but I did save about $25,000 in the bank still. But can't take another loan out unfortunately to buy anything more. But did buy a Cascadia day cab with at least some decent power to haul pretty much anything.

[@b9bot148]

Hydrated, coffee all day and night, lol!

[@joshmaag2457]

I’m curious to see what the next company truck is going to he

[@b9bot148]

Parking job give you higher 8 out of 10 but got fooled with those white lines, lol!

[@KerboOnYT]

What mod makes the nice background in the map view? Great series!

[@Daniel-rr9ye]

How realistic is the Economy mod? I just installed it and for instance I have a 320 mile special cargo trip and the default payment was 16,402. But with the mod installed it is only paying 437. Is that true to life?

[@CarKingZ]

Yes that’s basically real life rn, it’s pretty bad out here

[@cody0617]

I love dropping of in Houston Texas

[@SRCrixis66]

great video ❤❤❤

[@Baiofarms]

Pay off the loan and get a employee to get some extra cash for you or take out another loan get drivers and you rent trucks for jobs

[@bubbacutright6910]

Oklahoma is the Sooner there hand. Shiney side up.

[@b9bot148]

Progress? Lol, just surviving. I take half tanks of fuel instead of filling it up to save money but have enough to make it to another job and delivery.

[@dustind3960]

No abs on the peterbuild 350 and no raction control.

[@jamesoke7414]

Oklahoma.. The Sooner State.. just an FYI.

[@dustind3960]

As for driver save up for a new 3 bay garage save up for a truck than get a driver. Ps mike maybe take a loan for your own B train reafer trailer

[@somberskies4050]

As i work in reaciving and seen my fair share of idiot driver try to back into the dock i give the revers a solid 8.5 outa 10

[@KJWiggums]

7/10 until you parked in the wrong spot. I've been working 9n backing up in cab. Definitely takes skill 8n a game with no depth perspiration

[@brianmouille3494]

Upgrade the motor. You are a driver won't make money tell you have a strong motor.

[@damienknight8354]

Buffalo NY

[@thecrazysyrupguyhd2902]

Take another loan to buy a trailer

[@Skrufylookin]

Not from OK but I think you call it “The Sooner State”

[@dustind3960]

For longer trips an you please tirn off the need to sleeping ecaise all the yaning mames .w tired in real life

[@MikePettGaming]

Can’t turn off sleep lol That’s the realism! Lol
