MEGA MONEY FOR ANYONE IN EUROPE!

Hauling 40,000 pounds of Clothing from Rotterdam to Hamburg will earn your driver $2.02 per mile, a total of $611.18 for the entire route. If you are late you will be fined $200.00 per day that you are late.

303 miles!

Aren't the prices dynamic? Meaning that the more stuff gets taken to each place, the less it's worth? Because otherwise exploits like this could be all over the place

Quote from danowat :

Err.....my driver is in the US

Quote from danowat from the motorcycle thread... :

Just another in a long string of reasons why I never want to visit the US of A

Just watch out for all us bikers cruising the highways and enjoying the scenery.......




Over here, truckers absolutely hate "four wheelers" (cars) and bitch about them constantly on the radio. They have absolute full respect for bikers though and do what they can to give way, wave, sound the horn, give a thumbs up, etc to a biker.

I'll run the buggers down

Hauling 40,000 pounds of Clothing from Rotterdam to Rennes will earn your driver $1.55 per mile, a total of $706.72 for the entire route. If you are late you will be fined $200.00 per day that you are late.

another hot route

I'm Hauling 41,200lbs of Electronics to Rivne, Ukraine (1,200lbs overweight). Got 75 miles to go but can't continue as I'm exhausted

i just bought fresh tyres for my truck and it now does 60mph

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.

nice, i never use my notebook tho...



moved to usa, well se if its any better...

$2.07 PPM for Glass from Jacksonville to Atlanta is the route I'm on right now. I think it is a 380 mile run, so it is really fast run and pays well.

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

Washington>>> Anchorage

Furniture

51,000 lbs

(26 tons) $12,181

In Route
2,182 Miles To Go

I'm afraid of taking long routes with the speed of my truck. I take the shortest hot route that is near me, and I'm doing fine. $2.11 PPM for 342 miles, same run just I had the wrong numbers. Getting $711 and is fast.

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

Which truck is the best to buy as the second one? (europe)

what truck you have now?

Volvo WIA64T

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.

I'm also saving for that truck. When i have my current contract done i almost have the money.

Quote from BAMBO :

I from time to time play a very nice (and addicting) browser game called Trukz, here's a link to the game: http://www.trukz.com/. Does anyone here play it?

I used your link to join so you got $1,000 bucks from me. I'm hauling beer right now up to Finland. get the LFS team on the go and I'll join.

Got to figure out how to hit a rest stop :P
