Decided to give the Truck Diaries a re-watch. I wish Squirrel would either re-start this series or do a whole new one. The game has changed so much since he recorded these. (I'm so used to a talking GPS now it seems really weird without one.) I think almost everything Promods added in this video is now officially part of the game and Promods has added even more. The last trucking diaries video was in 2019 (roughly 3 years ago as I write this), so I feel like the time might be right for a revival.

That's right. You never pay for fuel on 'Quick Jobs'. You never pay for Tolls. You never pay for Ferry trips BUT you do get paid less for Quick Jobs than the owner driver jobs. Boy when Squirrel says it's been a long time since he had to start a profile in this game, he wasn't kidding. I've had to start over many times due to computer failures so I'm intimately acquainted with starting new profiles. Maybe I should take my own advice and sequester a copy of my ETS2 documents folder on a USB drive. Starting from scratch is a good way to keep in touch with all facets of this game and ATS.

Danish is a very weird language, so here's a tip about city names: "double-a" like in AArhus and AAlborg, is actually supposed to sound different than you'd think. It's a bit tough to describe the sound, but it's a bit like the first o-sound in the word Oreo.

Btw. 1. The glass walls on bridges are for avoiding wind AND people not trying to kill themselves. Even on the motorway. 2. There actually ARE IKEA stores in Odense, Aarhus and Aalborg. Also in Gentofte and Taastrup. Glad I could help :D

Had the game for over a year, probably near to 2 years and just now starting to get into it. Dusted off my Thrustmaster F430 wheel as well. These videos are going to be great for learning and glad to see even an experienced player, can still end up with collisions and misreading what the correct lanes to use etc are. It gives encouragement to the newbie, that not everything they are doing is causing problems.

Finally, EU version of the Trucking Dairies! Ive been waiting a long time for this, and I hope its a good journey throughout Europe! Happy trucking!! :D

This brings memories of 2012 and 2013 back: The magic of starting an ETS2 career anew. Already looking forward to this, thank you. Will you do a poll on your "first" truck on the forums please? Some truck suggestions of mine: - DAF 95 XF - Iveco 190-38 Special (my current truck) - MAN 2000 - Mercedes Actros MP1 (my personal favourite) - Renault Magnum Integral - Scania 4 series - Volvo FH series I These "used" trucks were produced between 1983 and 2005; and are done in good quality. If you opt for default trucks, the Renault Premium may be the one to start with. Not because I want to fool you, but because it's the only not top-of-the-line truck in ETS2.

As I missed your first ET2 back in the day, this has been a pleasure to watch, look forward to traveling around Europe with you. I admire you starting this as now you are experienced it must be a challenge in some ways to go back to basics. Thank You 👏

This is the first vid I’ve ever seen from you, and I instantly love your channel! You are so calm.. it’s nice to watch these while doing homework- or just relaxing, as I don’t need to give my full attention to it. :)

just one thing for you all.. when your in a hired truck and you do notice your running low on fuel then you can refuel as the company pays it for you. so do not worry about the fuel cost

I am so happy that you decided to do Euro truck. Keep up the good work buddy : )

When I first started playing ETS2 I was 9 or something idk so when I was driving with my €1 steering wheel, I drove really badly. I hit cars, hit signs fences and was driving way to fast. It took me an irl year to get my first truck which was a white MAN with a sleeper cabin and the standard chassis. After some driving I started upgrading my truck and the money that I was making went into the truck, repair costs and fines. After a while I was €-40.000 in debt and I kept receiving e-mails from the bank until the one came that if I did not pay back the money soon they would take my truck. They did. I lost my truck and after that I became more serious, and bought a red DAF XF 105 with a 6x2 chassis and sleeper cabin. I kept that truck for a long time without buying upgrades. Then I got cheat engine and there is where i started buying stuff, game got boring because I had everything already and I deleted my account, created a new one. Few years later I'm 14 I am a Volvo fan and I drive one with my Logitech g920 and the shifter, and I ordered a shifter replacement from America that will arrive in a week or so. I already know how to shift with a 12 speed Volvo gearbox only the range and splitter are on my wheel.

Hey squirrel I'm a fan of your truck diaries. I started with American Truck Simulator. My first taste of simulators was 18 wheels of steel American Long Haul. I tried Euro truck and when I was younger I was so confused. Now watching you play is literally a vibe.

Really enjoyed the video, as always you did a great job. By the way, I was yelling at that crazy bus driver for you. I can tell i'm going to enjoy this series.

As a dane... I can't help to feel abit honored by the fact, that you would choose our "little" country to start your Diaries journey ;) Thanks for the videos, and stay cool Mr Squirrel.

Good one there Sir, excellent episode, really enjoyed the skills on display. 😁😁

Nice to see Jeff has managed to land a job in Europe!

Liked and subscribed. I surprisingly found this a really enjoyable video to watch. I always thought I'd find the truck sim games boring but this has actually made me want to go out and buy the game! Love how you talk your way through the video too, kept me entertained and watching. Especially the remarks about the Renault Glass Smash! :D Keep up the videos, thanks for this one. :D.

11:23 look at the yellow road sign "FART KONTROL" LOL

Been waiting for this, thanks a lot Squirrel!

Since you drove this episode, much water has passed under the bridge! I enjoyed the trip with you, and your commentary. I used to drive, and survived about half a million miles in Canada and US. My daughter and her partner have discovered the American driving sim, and my daughter, who has been with me on for a week-long trip in southern US, corrects him, tells him that he can't do certain things... which is really funny! Anyway, here we are, under Covid-coloured skies, and I thank you for a fun journey.

7:25 No blinker ! Ticket :))

Hi Squirrel! So cool that you chose Denmark! I live just south-east of Hirtshals :D Btw; your pronunciation of the Danish cities... Oh dear... Oh dear... xD

Great Paul! I will watch every episode because I've watched the first one + it's snowing today!

33:24 approaches a "Give way" (yet fails to give way), pulls out in to an oncoming coach which then has to harsh break and collides during its left turn, then squirrel says "do you actually know how to drive?" hahahaha priceless ill subscribe just for the comedy. But on a serious note that's how people are in reality on the road!

I'm pretty sure the glass walls on the bridges are to stop people from throwing rocks onto boats and ferrys beneath and its glass instead of a wall so you can still see through onto the river. At least that's what they are for in AUS were i am living.

I am not sure about old truck but I do like the Scania T on the steam workshop. Also, you don't actually pay for the fuel of hire trucks yourself. How do I know? Well, I use to pull into petrol stations for no reason to waste the money of the employer, lol.

hi paul, another great vid. I`m glad to see there is a summer mod.

The way you pronounce the Danish city names is 10/10 :D, i'm Danish btw

"fuel is very cheap in america" Little did he know

5 years?!?! Loving the reruns ☺Crazy how time flies....

A great old truck that you might like is the Scania Series 1 by Shoofer. I used it and was really pleased with the mod. The only problem I found was the fuel tank! Great video as always Squirrel!

Not to be rude or anything, but as a dane myself, I can very much hear that you pronounce Odense and aswell other danish cities wrong, however I truly understand you, because danish is a little weird if I should say so. I've listed a few tips for the pronounciation below, if you should be interested! :) Odense: O'ense - that way, you can get very close to the way we danes pronounce it nowadays :) Frederikshavn: Frederiks havn - Pretend there is a space between "Frederik" and "havn" and do not let it be "shavn". It basically means Frederik's harbor. So far with all the other cities in the game, I must say you're doing a good job with their names! ! ;-) Keep up the good work!

Presumably the havn there comes from the same root as haven in English meaning a place of refuge or safety but you do also see it in place names referring to inlets or bays that form natural harbours as they were places of shelter for ships so you get some port cities named that way in English like Milford Haven etc.
