Pressing / means that it is console command, like: /ban bananadude123 . Theses are used by admins.

You can also do various other things with / , for example checking your stats.
/w pb shows you your track record on car which you are currently driving.

Few other commands:

/w laps - shows you how many laps you have done on that current track with your current car

/w tl - shows your total laps.

/w wr - shows track record for track and car your currently driving.

/me *insert text here* - example: /me likes LFS comes up on screen like that: /*yourname* likes LFS.

Also press CTRL while text box is up, so you can choose different colors and letters.

I had same truck when i was new, the next truck i chose was 1997 kenworth w900.
But its your choice depending how much money you got etc. You can also take out loans.

what truck you have now?

Yes at beginning its wise to take those short hot routes, they really help get newer trucks fast, because starter trucks dont cost much.

Live initialization failed

Few weeks ago while doing some working at home, there was thin weak wooden wall what i was going to remove and i thought im smart when i jump and grab the upper ledge of it, so i could pull it down with my weight but instead there was hidden nail and a nail went through my finger and it teared my skin apart. I was hanging with my whole bodyweight (im 16 yr) when suddenly i felt something wierd, i somehow got off back to ground and when i pulled off my glove, it looked pretty sh*t.

It looked worse than it looks when im typing it here. Never ever want to live through that again.

Heheee, a week ago i had a 12k paying route and now im again running a 12k paying route, i love those!

Great to hear that!

I thought i'd share my driver notepead, starting from my join. These are written at dates shown and i havent made it up! Its all real from my driver notepad.


23.01.08 20.28:

First route to glasgow completed. Need to rest, truck fuel 66% full. Collected about 250$. Money: ~400$.

08.02.08 10.56:

Working to get money for a new truck, also probably i will buy airplane ticket and travel to USA, more money over there, but that also means i have to buy a

new truck there.
Currently i have only 1700 dollars, and 1994 freightliner FLB truck. Truck failures happen quite often, and fuel takes away quite a lot of money.

19.02.08 22.20:

Just 39 miles to go, when i finish this route, i sell my current truck and buy 89 volvo. Seems i wont travel to america for quite a bit time. In a few days

my first month is complete.
thats all for now, i think. I write soon again when i buy new truck.

23.02.08 22.29:

Well i have had 89 volvo for 4 days, in coming 2 days, i will sell my truck, take $2000 loan, finish my last route, and buy ticket and go to america. I will

buy volvo again there, also i have to pay back 2000 loan...which is gonna be pretty hard.
But i hope that the future is brighter than in Europe, and since my current company is based in America, like most of the drivers, it would be overall better

to go to america, even if its not good to my pocket.

24.02.08 23.47:

Woah, i managed to get to NA today, and i only had to take loan 1000$. My volvo is back, but I still need to pay back loan, which right now is about $250.

Then i buy fuel filter again. Everything should go smoother now. One month of truck driving.

18.03.08 17.33:

Its been a while now. Things going quite normal, i have got new tires, those help alot.
at the moment im at LV, then going to el paso and from there im going to Corpus Christi.

27.03.08 07.19:

Things are looking fine, soon i buy new truck for around 12k.

06.04.08 18.56:

Well currently at contract, heading to Phoenix with books, with overweight cargo of 50 000, and COT is 2200. I really dont want any tickets, 10 000 over

legal weight is pretty harsh.

20.04.08 14.21:

Heading to LV, COT is 1002$. Next truck will be probably Volvo VN660, for 27.000, which IS quite a lot, but best choice out there. Legal load weight is

46.000 pounds. Driver rating 14+. Full Throttle Trucking for the win! Few days more and I have been 2 months in NA.

05.05.08 19.35:

Things goin alright, have had VN660 for nearly a week, bought some more items and now working to get DR to 25 and TTE. Current DR is 17+ and FTT FTW!

21.05.08 14.35:

Everything good, 21.500$ , driver rating soon 23, Cant wait to get TTE.

31.07.08 13.38

Have had most expensive truck in the game for 6 days now, have purchased most upgrades also, doing books contract, drive rating 47.80.
Starting to collect money for oversized endorsment, currently i have only almost 14k. OE costs 45k.

You have completed your route to Richmond on time. You collected $2,088.17 of which Full Throttle Trucking collected $146.17 from that total to leave you with a total collection of $1,941.99.

Quote from Woz :

ROTF, no wait you are actually serious...

NOD does FAR worse than almost ALL AV systems out there and eats more system resources that most.

While it is one of the most popular it also means that malware and virus writers target and test against to make sure they can get past.

You nead to read some real world test. AVG (Nice and free and low system impact) ALWAYS places far far higher than the over priced system hog that is NOD.

Just check for yourself.

http://blogs.pcmag.com/securit ... re_performance_testin.php

Haha you kidding me, NOD was the one which didnt use many system resources. I have used it for very long and i got no viruses. AVG can be good but it takes more system resources, get ur facts straight.

McAfee and Norton are the ones that should be blamed.

Sorry i said discounts, i meant assistances. Click on View companies at menu and there you see collect %, repair %,fuel % and ticket % for each company.

the discounts are items that company can buy, truck discount, fuel discount, item discount, repair discount.

So here at FTT we got:
ASSISTANCES:

Repair: 23%
Fuel: 16%
Ticket: 0%


DISCOUNTS:
Fuel, Trucks, Items, Repair

1% is ...not good. We here at Full Throttle Trucking have discounts these:
Repair: 23%
Fuel: 16%
Ticket: 0%

Another tip from me: You can always go 5 mph over the speed limit, you never get ticket (i havent and many others too havent, its a general tip).

If you have any questions , just ask me!

OODA Europe doesnt offer any repair,fuel and ticket assistance, but its good company if you are located in Europe.

Please everyone take a look at game guide! http://z6.invisionfree.com/Trukz/index.php?showforum=1

Quote from DieKolkrabe :

Ouch, $140 on me, I'd best NOT run out of fuel on the way then...:P

You can refuel fine, your money goes to minus then.


EDIT: i forgot to gave very useful link, here you can check routes in europe and america, you can sort them by supply or by pay per mile and so on.
