Another tip I’d like to give out is about your inventory space. In your truck you have a few cabinets available. I recommend keeping 1.) buying a chainsaw in case you come across a fallen tree in the road, and 2.) store that chainsaw in one of your cabinets in the truck to save space. Same for any of the truck parts/tools.

More great tips for sure! I could probably make another video on these in the future

And don't forget about the tool box located below the driver's door. Only two spaces but you can use it for things you use frequently and don't want to keep jumping back into the truck for.... like your camera and/or chain saw. Saves on your personal inventory space.
Tomorrow the big day can't wait to play after work

I follow the game since it was in development for PC and it did get better and better. I love the additional aspects compared to a regular trucking game and I hope and wish for gamers and developers that it will be a big success. I am totally hyped and hardly can wait to play on my PS 5 - thats for sure. So thanks a lot for all your gameplay and especially this one. Will be a big help for the first steps..... 😊

Just picked it up last night on series x. It could be a little crispier on the resolution and the framerate could be smoother but its not unplayable at all. Im loving it so far and hope to see some updates to help with optimization. It has so much potential. Also a little more traffic would be nice to make it feel more alive

People living in the Nordic countries know how to drive in winter conditions. It really takes getting used to and know-how. For example in Finland: (Winter) November-March. (Spring) April-May. (Summer:) May-September. (Autumn:) September-October. Greetings from Finland. It's better to buy this game cause finally it's a game where there are Nordic seasons in all kinds of weather conditions.🤩

Also i want to add if u put energy drink in ur truck fridge u can keep it for the double of time of expiration days i think.. .. and i have one question why everytimes i put oil in mt truck i see a red oil logo, in the guide it says old can leak.. does it break my oil tank everytimes i refill it? I though it means cold old or something and it need to warm.. but i did around 1k miles and it didnt change

You are correct, any type of food item put in the fridge doubles its shelf life. Make sure when filling oil, you only fill it between the lines. Don't fill it all the way or you'll damage stuff in your truck

Hi. Grate video serie. I have one question. XP. It feels like it will take forewer to lvl upp. Any tips? And in the hardest game mode. Do you lvl faster ? Thinking that you will make more repairs…. Is that correct?
@ancienthare
Ай бұрын
Leveling up isn’t fast by any means, even in legendary mode. You can kind of cheat the system with mechanic and personal xp. Damage the truck intentionally, then do repairs. That’ll help the mechanic levels. Cooking food, clearing road blocks and taking pictures of points of interest will raise personal xp. You could just cook and waste food to raise that quicker. Both ways are gonna cost you, but it’s possible. The trucker xp you get for delivering jobs and I believe that’s all. This might be a good video idea for me to cover in the near future
