Trucking Diaries - Episode #2 (American Truck Simulator)

[@thegamemaster2000]

As an american truck driver, i can tell you a few things. 1. Every truck i have driven has had even number MPH indicator (10,20,30,40,50, ect.) with a longer line halfway between them. 2. yes we still use CB radios, but they are loosing popularity though. 3. at night time, it is very common to be the only one around for miles, or only seeing other semi's. 4. horns do sound like that if you use the steering wheel horn, but every tuck i have been in and seen has air horns standard. 5. I have never had reverse beeping sounds. 6. I have never stayed at a hotel room while on the road, that is what a sleeper cab is for. 7. 18 speeds are common, but we also have a lot of other ones. So you should set your shifting to 18 with 2 reverse gears. (trust me, if this game is anything like america, you will need 2 reverse gears. that low gear will power your booty up anything. :D )

[@mobrien98]

+Deadlylyon15 Is not having reverse beeping noises a bit dangerous? Seems like it would be to me, but I've never driven a truck so I don't know.

[@theflyingsquirrel4467]

I have never seen a simi run "day running lights" up here in Minnesota

[@theflyingsquirrel4467]

Oh I forgot most common 30 45 55 60 65 75 in my experience but I don't know for cally

[@BrettyUK]

do you count crawler gears into the 18 speed? so 16+2 crawlers.

[@thegamemaster2000]

Ryan Brett I guess it depends on what you consider a crawler gear. I know in most semi's, if you have less than 16 tons, you can skip most of your lower gears. but a typical semi will have 16-18 forward gears, and 2 reverse gears (hi and lo reverse).

[@nikkob1252]

I honestly don't understand why people have a problem with night driving, I like watching it

[@CiaGuy]

+Joe Swanson most truckers drive at night aswell

[@giovanyfranco1230]

me to

[@Ya_boy_cj]

+Joe Swanson wheres bonnie?

[@nikkob1252]

Cleavon Harrell Jr I don't know, I'm at the Clam though

[@Ya_boy_cj]

Joe Swanson stop leaving yoour wife at home. lois does things to her

[@Dom13WorstNW]

Do Europeans think Americans drive around in a bunch of 50's style cars all the time? lol

[@RagedDrew]

+Dom13WorstNW No but you guys do have some nice classics, as a fan of old cars I can say you guys have some nice ones.

[@SilencerUK]

+Dom13WorstNW No just the pleb who made this video.

[@baconftw2277]

+Raged Drew like the Ford Pinto??

[@cookiegaming44]

More common than you think but it's still a "oh cool look at that" moment.

[@SilencerUK]

***** Are you? Thats good but i don't need to know about your sexuality.

[@Azivegu]

as an american in europe, I find it quite amusing how europeans are always so amazed by the american road system xD Not just in games, but irl too.

[@JohnBeau]

We just sit there, like "Nothing new here."

[@Razticz]

+Pewpew gaming and productions in Australia its pretty common to see long noses aswell I have never seen a cab over like the ones in ETS2 but my favourite kind of truck is a peterbuilt, one of the old square shaped ones, but I have never seen one. we mostly see kennworths everwhere or scanias, someone needs to make an Australian truck sim, I don't mean were I live 2. in the middle of Australia truck sim you spend up to a month or so on the road in the middle of no where not a person for miles, on dirt roads through deserts and dangerous storms. I think both people in amrica and Europe would be amazed

[@Azivegu]

australia is for mad max style trucks

[@Razticz]

***** no not technically or basically or probably, im not saying that, im saying that Australia trucking is way diernt and that people in Europe have never senn cab overs like we get in Australia, also im saying Australia is harder in 40 degrees celcuis with not a sangle person ro hundreds if not thousands of miles away when your in the deser on a place with no road when anything is un predictable

[@Razticz]

Azivegu I have never seen anything remotely like a mad max style truck in australia

[@marchettejw]

in this episode of "Squirrel works for swift" we miss speed limit signs and keep engine RPM over 2300RPM...

[@DrtyDiesel]

lol, it makes me cringe seeing the tach above 1600rpm

[@Robbedem]

+marchettejw It's because he has his gear set-up for only 12, but the truck he's driving has 18 => he can't use the last 6 gears on the truck...

[@lordsanityfree]

+GodprefersDiesels You forgot See What I Fucked up Today.

[@GodprefersDiesels]

+Chris S Yes! I like it.

[@vangayyy573]

You know what swift stands for? Sure wish I finished training

[@odyseeisbetterthanyoutube6819]

12:53 Yeah, I get that feeling all the time when I travel long distance. There is always that one car that stays with me for 2-3 hours. Then, when they finally turn off at an exit, it leaves me feeling sad for some reason. It is ridiculous, but it is interesting how our minds work that way.

[@majestictiger6012]

In my opinion they should make an Ice Road Truckers DLC for this game :)

[@11Survivor]

In Alaska maybe?

[@jamar.pittman]

i live in a world where colorado is accessible and wyoming will be the next dlc and i really do hope they add ice road trucking for wyoming

[@08SPEEDY08]

have you tried snowrunner

[@palkito1416]

As a person who is completely wasted, this is the perfect drown out yet entertaining video. Keep up the good work mate.

[@andrew522009]

Use the high beam next night driving see how much distance you can see. Backing up it looks like you can look out that back window for a little more help wow that interior is nice to!!

[@lennartstek8899]

+Andrew T-Rex And talk less nonsense, i had to mute the sound lol

[@joned1000]

+LennySteak that's the point of the video

[@lennartstek8899]

Pingu I thought the point of the video was trucking, not wondering what a water tower is?

[@MrProfilen]

+LennySteak You gotta remember he isn't from American(if I remember correctly), so he doesn't know as much about our things.

[@IanRM]

+LennySteak No,your "point" would be just driving. As a YT video producer, Squirrel's job is entertaining which includes looking / evaluating the scenery and/or anything else noticed en route. NB That's route with the correct pronunciation of 'Root' and not the corruption of 'Rawt' lol

[@chromediesel444]

I'm also a truck driver, I'm currently driving the Kenworth T680 day cab for fedex freight. It's a quiet truck, cummins isx15 works great for it. That open slot above the windshield is really for cb radio.

[@nlproductions216]

Hi Squirrel! (Paul) Just a few things to say -Eureka is the motto for California -California is the most populated state in the US -Bushnell Farms was actually in 18 WOS Haulin' -Those cloverleaf intersections are actually called, "4-Leaf Clover" intersections That's all from me, Happy Trucking!

[@RedHeadRadulf83]

U.S. truck driver here. You, sir, got me hooked on Euro Truck Sim 2, and now you've got me hooked on this one as well. Cannot wait for its release here! Though I'm intrigued as to why the semi trailer is only 40' long. The vast majority of trailers here are 48' to 53' long, save for most shipping containers. Hehe, I wonder if we'll see a mod for a "turnpike double" (two 48' or 53' trailers in tandem) some day. Cheers!

[@FearlessLeader2001]

Go to L.A. I wanna see if they modeled our shitty, 5 lane, double backing, maze of freeways

[@TheRatic0n]

Gotta love that green John Deere tractor, aptly named "Dear John" instead. Hilarious!

[@HankJr.]

The speedometers here in America vary by car manufacturers. My 08 Impala goes up by factors of 20 from 0-140. My Dodge pickup truck goes up by factors of 10 from 0-120. I'm assuming that's just Kenworths design in speedometers.

[@TheFerraritech]

Just a note, Pedro Stopping Center at 15:19 is supposed to be Petro Stopping Center. Basically it's a truck stop. They are a national chain of truck stops here in America. (For those who don't know). Also for that backup Paul, you could have done a 180 degree jackknife reverse. (That's what I call it. Some people call it differently.) Basically you jackknife the truck while backing up and rotate the trailer on its tires. At the 17:03 mark, you would have been set up for it. You then can keep the reverse a sight side versus a blind side like you did. Just personal preference. Nice job on that blind side though. It is really difficult to see while doing it in real life. However, you might have been able to look through the sleeper window to help out.

[@Mr.Ramirez95]

speed limit sings are a lot visible in real life than what I'm seeing in game. they glow in the night for every car with lights. these signs dnt seem to do that... hope they fix it sooner or later.

[@nathanbrinkerhoff5886]

To me I believe that the signs are also a bit bigger. Not by much by still bigger.

[@arkansaswookie]

Redding to Eureka California. I've driven that road in real life and It's a twisting, winding road that's nasty in places. Fatalities are common. It does rain in Nor Cal, and quite a bit on the coast where Eureka is.

[@jimpanrooney]

i remember when i just started ets 2 and tried to legit save up to my first truck, it was good though since i always wrecked the truck. so a few hours later when i had gotten much better i bought my first truck, now 89 hours later i make around 700k € every week and own about 14 trucks :)

[@lukass.6609]

[@lukass.6609]

[@jimpanrooney]

Nano LP nice

[@jimpanrooney]

***** yeah probably, took me 20 hours to get good at driving. I'm pretty bad at most games but i still enjoy them :D

[@AndreyAngulo]

12:10 - 13:15 that part reminds me of the days I'd just go on trips with my mom and dad here in Costa Rica. We would travel to the northern or southern part of the country straight from the capital and we used to travel at night like that. We usually would catch up to trucks, understandably, and it definitely feels better having company either behind or in front. I guess as long as the journey was quiet and all, I wouldn't mind but it gets scary considering your vehicle can get stuck in the middle of nowhere and no one would be there to help immediately. But anyways, great video! I enjoyed it. I like quiet and chill runs like this :D

[@MrSbb2]

DID ANYBODY ELSE NOTICE THE JOHN DEERE WAS ACTUALLY CALLED A "DEAR JOHN"????????????

[@cypher1o1]

Oh good, Dear John lol I wonder if anyone knows about the "Dear John" letters and if so that hilariously dark

[@Realtimehammer]

SHORT JOHN MITHRIL IS LONG JOHN SILVER!!!!!!!!

[@Draconic_Joker]

Btw i am truck driver in real life and notice this on another app thought i would look at it an yes the night driving is just like in game especially in west part like california and nevada and also lots of trucks drive at night bc of less traffic to deal with and we still use cb radios alot

[@joeh2132]

First airhorn is unlocked at level 2 or 3 Paul :D Hope this helps

[@lordsanityfree]

Air horns are not only standard equipment, they're required by DOT.

[@mfk12340]

Yogurt is not spelled like that in America.

[@icky_thump]

+mfk12340 Yeah i was confused by that lol i was like WHAT IS YOG HURT?

[@AlbertoRoblesGeneralbert]

Good eye and true

[@ethan-jy4ld]

+troodon9999 makes total sense

[@Said-jh1vo]

troodon9999 In dutch we say Yoghurt.

[@ozzygamer6733]

mfk12340 yoghurt that's how it's spelled in Aussie and shit

[@babybirdhome]

We have a lot of goofy things on the roads here in the U.S., but that stop sign at a traffic light at 6:34 takes the cake. I have never seen that here in real life.

[@MattJames2211]

Might be on same engine as ETS 2 but graphics, scenery and detail are greatly improved

[@LuukvHilst]

The part where you talk about driving alone at night with a fellow trucker behind you en nobody else around. Your totally right. It's a nice thought that somebody is driving with you.

[@robloxdude19]

How long before people start recreating the film 'Convoy'? XD

[@arandomelk8559]

+Minarus Infernus 1st week aufter multiplayer came out??

[@arandomelk8559]

and we crashed the gate doing 98 so let us truckers rolin 10/4

[@GurvirSingh64]

Or the movie Duel

[@freequest]

12:30 yeah pretty much like that a long time ago did a lot of ling distance stuff (not in a truck) but you would be stuck behind a truck and have a few others behind you for mile upon mile not a problem really you had a CB they had CB's and you would just chat all the time great fun.

[@xSleeper.]

4:10 did that truck on that hill despawn? xD

[@that_camo_bronco_guy]

+Erdem bisgin yup

[@UserUnknownKappa]

+Erdem bisgin Yes xD

[@RagedDrew]

+Erdem bisgin Good eye, didn't notice at first but yeah it wasn't there the second time he looked.

[@nickbeers202]

Its the new time travel truck the military's been working on

[@trainsofamerica]

Hi. Paul, The speed limit that's posted on the white signs are for everyone trucks, bus and cars. If you see a yellow sign with a speed limit that's the suggested speed limit, sometimes you'll see yellow signs with arrows along with the suggested speed...you'll see them on a sharp curve or when going down a hill that has sharp curves. If you see a yellow sign with a tractor trailer going down hill with yellow speed limit sign, those are the required speed limit for tractor trailers when going down a steep incline. By the way my name is Paul also, from Pennsylvania USA

[@TheKingoftheKongs]

Anyone else notice the double positive, Eureka discovered?

[@iamitscrizzy]

Everything looks so much more vibrant. Loving it.

[@molassascookieman4596]

Funny thing, many police services have switched from the old Ford Interceptors to Dodge Chargers, if only SCS had figured that out lol

[@nonracistpanda9631]

If you've lived in america all your life, the speed limit signs are more obvious, although you can still miss them occasionally. For instance, way out in the country, bushes grow up and hide them. The bushes are cut back obviously, but they are still there sometimes.

[@TAG-rq7ii]

06:33 - Anyone else notice there are both a STOP sign and a TRAFFIC signal at this intersection? Lol, oops! Guess they missed that one. Oh, and we here in USA don't have our speeds change so often as seen in this game. I am thinking the devs made so many speed changes to help us navigate the courses. But on average we utilize three speeds, city - highway - interstate. And most of us are driving 5-15 mph over the posted limit. Cheers!

[@Robbedem]

+The Able Gamer I don't think there's anything wrong with that. In Europe it's done all the time in case the traffic lights are not working (failure or just turned off for the night)

[@Robbedem]

In Europe we use a hierarchy: policemen are the highest, then traffic lights, than signs and last is the rule that who comes from the right is allowed first. So if there is a policemen at an intersection, you have to follow his orders, no matter what the other signs/traffic lights show. If there is an intersection with traffic lights and signs, you follow the traffic lights. If the is nothing, you follow the last rule. So an intersection with traffic lights and signs is nothing special. You just follow the traffic lights, unless they don't work, then you follow the signs.

[@TAG-rq7ii]

Robbedem We too have a similar hierarchy. However; we don't put signs at the intersections where there are lights. Typically if the lights go out of sequence they will begin to flash red only on and off. This means it is now a four way stop. And if there are no lights working at all, then you pray the other drivers no to respond to it as a four way stop.

[@nmbcraft3383]

+The Able Gamer Went 7mph over the speed limit was fined $1000 xD...

[@TAG-rq7ii]

Nmb Craft I can help you disable it if you're interested. After my first delivery turning off the violations was the very next thing I did. I guess in a way it's cheating.. but I don't like to limit my potential haha

[@TomHaynes360]

+Squirrel American cars are different, and every manufacturer uses diferent speedometer gauges, One car could have 10,20,30 etc, other might be 5, 10, 15, 20... etc. so it depends on the manufacturer

[@SkyF150]

Great series, I wouldn't be against some low volume country music in the background tbh. Don't know whether other people would be interested but I think it would be a perfect fit for this game's environment and general atmosphere.

[@lordsanityfree]

Two words. Copyright strike.

[@SkyF150]

+Chris S Didn't think about that lol. But I had in mind some other guy's ETS2 video where he indeed added a country song in the background at some point. Guess that one wasn't copyrighted.

[@lordsanityfree]

Sebastian Simion Could be that his video or channel wasn't monetized. That makes a difference, but I'm not sure how. My primary channel still isn't big enough to consider monetizing, so I haven't taken the time to learn all the ins and outs of it.

[@Bullhead_JW]

Hey Paul, cars in America do not use that kind of speedo. Some trucks do use it though, but I believe it's only used in new, modern trucks. Now, if you get an old 1970s Mack, you won't see that anywhere!

[@CiaGuy]

Uh, just saying it's been raining throughout california almost non-stop for the last month

[@FearlessLeader2001]

Hell yeah El Niño

[@FishbirdDD]

That's good

[@NotDingse]

Congrats, you guys aren't running dry then

[@Linerax]

+Definitely Not Dingse! Thanks. I think a few Californians were envy when Texas had floods during the summer.

[@CiaGuy]

+Vladtheimpaler1337 we were lol

[@PaganCurse98]

So I don't know if you knew this but certain farms actually sell their stuff from the land. My grandma knows a guy who package and sells hamburger meat. And I've got to say the way he processes it is amazing. He puts the fat on the outside so it cooks quite well.

[@spencers4121]

I wonder if they simulated DEF on the trucks also.

[@xBLITZxMARINEx]

I hope not. DEF is the biggest bunch of crap the EPA has ever done.

[@xBLITZxMARINEx]

+Menacing Scarab (Stephen) It completely milks the piss right out of the engines lol

[@12deadklowns]

sorry for not knowing but what's DEF?

[@xBLITZxMARINEx]

+12Dead Klowns Diesel Exhaust Fluid

[@12deadklowns]

xBLITZxMARINEx I see.

[@brunoignaciogi]

9:10 you don't see the speed limit because usa doesn't adhere to vienna road traffic convention 9:26 the uk sign is vienna standarized, it's like the rest of the world (not uk only)

[@mfk12340]

+brunoignaciogi Vienna is all away across the pond. Of course we aren't going to follow all those simple laws. We are capable of creating our own.

[@mileshanna6480]

Why is it that 60FPS videos always look better than 60FPS+ gameplay on your own PC?

[@Wardoxx]

+Miles Hanna Because you got a shitty pc

[@mileshanna6480]

+Wardoxx No, I'm afraid you don't understand. My PC is top-notch. Even when I look at recorded gameplay on my own rig it looks much smoother.

[@Brono98Productions]

As an American, I can vouch for this. Our cars has speedos that go from 0, 10, 20, 30, so on and so forth, some pickup trucks I've been in as well as most of the Big Rigs have the 0, 5, 15, 25, style speedos.

[@halajoongie]

I want to know if it rains in ATS as well.

[@halajoongie]

I also play multiplayer, it's soooooo much fun to drive with other people AND NO CARS

[@GrandAce]

Yea it does but it doesn't rain too often in Nevada and California tho

[@Delta4280]

Look in the settings... you can manually change the rain probabiliy

[@jakewashington1683]

Delta4280 mine is on like 75%

[@blakeslocum2732]

I will be liking every single video for the next month of ATS. Thats how much I thank paul to be one of the firs to play it, before release too.

[@frodeskibrek]

Wallbert = Wallmart :-P

[@FearlessLeader2001]

one L both times

[@Ratkill9000]

+Frode Skibrek Store is too small, might be a Walgreens pharmacy or CVS.

[@frodeskibrek]

Ratkill9000 Not likely. Remember....The etire U.S is downscaled in ATS ....

[@Ratkill9000]

+Frode Skibrek That is true...being a 1/35th scaled game instead of 1/19 or so of ETS2 but they are the smaller stores not the super centers.

[@frodeskibrek]

+Sukki Blue Try not to people's grammar,when even a foreigner out-schools you.

[@austincovell1019]

As an American I would like to tell you that all the cars and trucks drive the same speed limit. Not all the speed limits are by 5's, like there are 20's, 30's, sometimes 40's, and the interstate speed limit is 70. Keep up the good videos Paul!!!

[@MihaiKrieger]

Can you change the settings so you can use Kilometers instead of miles ?

[@Pompidouchtrucking]

+Mihai Krieger yeah, just like ets2

[@MihaiKrieger]

kevin thurmer thank you very much for the reply.

[@Ryan-re1rs]

but it's American truck driving, it needs to stay miles.

[@MihaiKrieger]

Ryan W i know, but I don't have enough exposure to the unit of measurement, so that I can grasp the concept that well. To put this into perspective, I know that a mile is roughly 1,6 km, but i have never used it, so at higher numbers, it gets messy.

[@cowsgohuh7328]

+Mihai Krieger You also don't know the difference between a comma and a period.

[@cerealspoon7876]

I am American and my car has the speedometer in 20 mile per hour intervals. An example is 20 is the first, then 40, then 60, etc. But we have a divider every 5 miles per hour.

[@spainwatson1104]

is it weird that I'm the daughter of a trucker and watching trucking videos ON MY OWN

[@MisterOwlz]

What are you? 9?

[@oscardixon3359]

+MisterOwlz What are you? Ageist?

[@IntroSpectre6x3]

+Oscar Dixon What are you, unaware of the age limit in place on KZbin?

[@oscardixon3359]

+IntroSpectre6x3 Touché, but I still don't think it's necessary to go around pointing fingers at others, everyone has to grow up, and I don't feel it's fair discriminating against the younger ones of the community, it's not as if squirrels videos are not fit for 9 year olds.

[@cadlyn]

+Allona Day don't be weirded out, i'm a son of a truck driving family and i watch these videos too.

[@JDSleeper]

Now that actually does look like a bonafide California landscape. Can't wait to play this myself next week.

[@akkshayverma]

where are the highway strippers ?

[@FearlessLeader2001]

they're called hookers

[@bendundidit]

* Lot lizards.

[@cadlyn]

+Akshay Verma considering he hasn't hit a truck stop yet i doubt he'll find one

[@Teufelshund]

Game looks great. Only a few things seem off. At 6:33 you approach an intersection with a Stop sign AND a traffic light. lol..It would be either/or, never both. There also seems to be far too many classic cars driving around. It would appear that at least 40% of the US population owns and drives classic automobiles on a daily basis. But still looks great...can't wait!

[@duranamo4297]

Car speedometers are most of the time 20, 40, 60, 80 etc. Depends on manufacturer. Trucks at limited to 55mph in the US, thats why almost all of them go for half units.

[@BlazerExists]

I know completely what you mean by another truck being like having company. I've never driven trucks like this, but I've gone on a few long road trips through the middle of nowhere, and have had that very mindset with vehicles that were behind or in front of me(and gotten sad when they turned off, haha).

[@whiteboyjimmy20]

"people just sitting around being lazy." MOST REALISTIC GAME EVER!

[@theoregontruckerT880]

the black part next to the sat nav houses more analog gauges in a real truck. all US vehicles count in 5's (5,15,25,35 ect) you might be able to get you mpg lower if you shift properly. in an American truck you should up shift at 16-17 rpm and downshift at 12-13.

[@JakeAikens]

Speed limits in America range 25 35 45 55 65. So the speedos are ALMOST always in 5s. Sometimes there is a 30 or 70 limit. Not that often though.

[@Copperhounddog]

We use both. Speed limits can be 10 20 30 40 50 etc. but they can also be 15 25 35 45 55 etc.

[@TheRecklessBasterd]

It's great to see they started with the west coast as I've lived there most of my life. Probably some of the most fun driving I've done has been on those roads. They did a great job of re-creating northern California but something just seems a bit off. I don't think it's scaled very well, as Sacramento is very flat with very few mountains.

[@captainrampage4563]

As I recall trucks in the US are required to use their hazards/four way blinkers whenever in a yard or at a store. [while driving and parking in the yard but at the store just when parking]

[@musicmaker11]

Yes, speed limits here can jump from 55 to 35 and back again, and yes there are plenty of 25/35/etc speed limits.

[@MJofLakelandX]

It's common for non-commercial vehicles to have the *10* format while most commercial trucks use the *5* format, simply because truckers will encounter sections of roadways where how effective your braking is will matter. A car can easily lower their speed to the nearest 10 mile compared to a semi/lorry transitioning to the next lowest gear in the process. A lot of rural roadways have a split speed restriction whereas cars will need to drop from 55 to 30 MPH, while a truck will need to drop from 55 to 25 MPH 'cuz the extra "5" MPH will be the deciding factor of you surviving or crashing. This is my assumption but at least it's something.

[@dukeskylar]

Speed limit 20 or 25 for school zones. 35mph usually in a small town or like a downtown. 45 usually outskirts of the town or if youre in suburbs area. 55 on frontage road or access roads whatever you wanna call it. 65 or 60 for City freeway. 75 on interstates sometimes even 85. SPeed limits that are transitioning like say 75 and then it goes down to 55 means that theres something ahead thats a sharp turn or a town coming up. I agree the white sign boards suck. I got pulled over doing 90mph on a 65 at night time with no lights. So hard to see. lol

[@MeDuderify]

Great graphics...part of the fun for me is seeing the mangling of the geography of Northern California (the way I-80 dead ends long before you get to the bay area...how the Sierra Mountains east of Sacramento are just missing, etc.). Assume Europe is just as mangled, never been there.

[@themdrunkgamers]

the speed limit signs are usually 5's with the exception of some neighborhoods and school zones that are 20 or 30. the majority of speed limits are 45 and 55

[@locsipocsi1]

although it is more realistic to have the (where to park) option ON. Truckers get to their destination and they stop "get out" and find out where to park. yes it's more convenient to have it automatically go to Skilled parking at you get there but in real life you get there stop and figure out where to park and the park

[@radarcub]

Most cars I've been in or driven have had increments of 5 on the speedometer in the states. I'm loving the new series, trucks and scenery are quite nice. :)

[@patrickmusson4571]

It's supposed to be Petro Stopping Center. Petro Stopping Centers were bought out by TravelCenters of America, or TA, those used to be Truck Stops of America. The 'Petro' Stopping Center name is still used by those places.

[@adamant365]

At 2:20 “Why’s there so many people sitting ‘round?” Welcome to America!

[@jimenezdecosta8478]

Love the way you listen to your viewers mate. Nice video's keep it up!

[@SSRWolF]

Just so you know, yes in the States the speed limit often ends with 5. There are some 30's and 40's. but most of the time it's 35, 55, etc.

being the fact that im a American truck driver i find it rather funny i keep watching the road and the mirrors and i glance at the gauges and the funny thing is im currently driving a peterbuilt 579 with a 10 speed Eaton fuller transmission a 435 horse paccar engine and 293 rears

On about company on the road, t's true, you make the best of whoever is around. When I did my coast to coast US road trip, the East wasn't so bad, plenty of traffic, but once you get to mid west between Oklahoma City and California, you can drive 50+ miles with seeing anyone, and with many of the roads straight for miles and miles, you soon get bored and lonely. So what I learned quickly is once you find someone, see if they'll play, overtake them or slow down to encourage them to, and if they are game, repeat after a few miles. Yeah, it might mean you drive a little slower overall, but it definitely makes things much more interesting, especially if they are the opposite sex, can add the odd smile in there too.

Hi Paul, consider using the virtual mirrors for reversing, it's much better that way.

When you were talking about keeping your eye on the speed gauge, I agree, it's so easy to get caught speeding on this game compared to ETS2, where you'd only get caught by speed cameras. I always speed on ETS2 but on this game, I don't even attempt to lol.

sometimes with somebody ahead we pass other vehicles on blind corners. The cars we pass must freak, not knowing we are talking with a fellow trucker a kilometer or two ahead.

There is many states in U.S. that the trucks speed limit is the same as the cars speed limit. The reason why its 45 and 55 is because 45 mph = 72 kmh and 44 mph is 70 kmh so they wouldn't put 44mph. 55 mph = 88 kmh and 56 mph = 90 kmh

[@Thefraudst3r]

my old chevy truck goes in 10s. (ex 10-20-30-40) and as for speed most small tows (at least in Minnesota) will be 30mph or 40mph.

[@_diffger_5217]

Its a thing in trucks, usually? like on the highway here in MI (because every state can set its own limits but cant go too high) trucks go 60 MPH and cars along with small trucks go 70 MPH. And now you know!

+Ben Trunman coast around EU price: 20€ US price:20$ there it might coast around in the 20's

[@DLoftis227]

It's funny that you mention the speed limit signs looking different, I have the same problem in Euro Truck Simulator. I'm used to looking for the American style signs.

[@Carahan]

No California 101 down the coast from Crescent City to San Francisco. :( A wonderful drive down the coast and through bigfoot country that is missing on that map.

[@Minalover100]

I like the scenery in this game. Definitely "Cali" farmland in the beginning of your vid.

[@loganwtheidiot]

Most American truck's speedometers represent speed with 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100,110,120. On the other hand, most American car's speedometers represent speed with 5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85, 95, 105, 120

[@lindro123]

one point I've seen overlooked is how you should be able to sleep anywhere you want if you are driving a truck with a bunk of course like in the yard where your waiting for your cargo the on or off ramp of a highway, you wouldn't have this option with a day cab but i think it would be pretty neat if while driving a truck with a bunk you can basically sleep anywbere

[@shsav2012]

@squirrel the speedometer markings on the 5's not the 0's is only in american commercial vehicles IE trucks and buses. in cars it usually is marked on the 0 in 10 or 20 mile an hour increments

[@chad4591]

In America the cars usually have it 10 20 30 and up from their

[@PeterArnold1969]

I'm enjoying this new series, Paul. I know this comment will be well after the fact, but keep an eye on your gps for the speed change if you're having trouble seeing the signs.

[@blueone9098]

One thing i wanted since i heard about SCS working on ATS, is the extreme weathers they have in US. Maybe the game engine cant make it, kinda sad tho, it would give an incredible feeling playing. Good video and thanks.

The sat nav is also the radio. It's an all-in-one touchscreen cluster

1:18 OMG! I thought that was just a funny thing in family guy, but it turns out, UK people talk like that. I found that really funny.

[@ReadySetGame87]

just to let everyone know...atleast in my state, if you do not see a speed limit sign for a mile then you go the state speed limit, speed signs have to be 1 mile apart max.

[@kennethbowman3784]

Car speedometers are in increments of 10. They generally go past 75 mph so they can't have the speeds in increments of 5.
