1st Trip.
Mood:
 hungry
Well it only took my picky butt a week to find the right truck but I found her at (Bulldog's Truck Shop) http://bulldogstruckshop.homedns.org/index.html its in there under (Transtar's Work) I grabbed it and found there was two versions. Ivans and Transtars so I took the off white paint job off Ivan's put it on Transtar's version and now driving it. Once around the block and I fell in love with it and once I know the currect year and make of her i will make a real version profile of my new truck to. Ive got alot of work planned for it to so look out I-10 people. Here she is now as I was heading out of denver, i bob-tailed all the way there i forget where i home out of in the game.
    
I didnt get too far and my son came home from the neighbors where he was playing so i had to pull it on over and make him something to eat before going to play again. i love the way that shot looks for some reason. lol
ok where am i, ok, i got back to hauling and ran up on my first weight station. i almost pasted the darn thing cuz i forgot the big trucks gotta get checked every now again so on in there i went. i checked out ok and got back to the road to get this waste to the drop on time i was trying to keep her around 55mph the whole way cuz i'm still trying to get my wheel right and trying to get the hang of a long vehicle that pivots behind me instaed of under my hands
well i was getting close to albaquaky (whatever) almost afraid of what the traffic was gonna be like so i backed her down to 45 to be safe and watched every angle of my truck while i got close to downtown. the last thing i want to do is jack-knive it takes me forever to recover from them lol. while i was thinking too much i went and flew right by my exit for 25 then to 40 west, so it was uturn time. this thing aint no geo metro thats for sure. after i got it back on track i got a good look at downtown and i got one word for it SMALL. i got it out of there before something wrong happened to me and my new truck and almost forgot to take in the senery of the river i passed over and the road signs that came up warning me i was almost in "Las Vegas" were i got to drop this load
by now its almost taken me an hour to do this trip cuz of the map was hard for me to read at first not nearly as good as a real road map but its a game i had to remind myself. i got a shot of my interior which really needs work too boring so i spend most of my time in view 5 i like to watch those wheels turn. lol. i got into the edge of LV and forgot to look at my fuel level up until now so it was a good thing there was a gas station right infront of me so i ducked her in for some go go juice at a 1.65 a gallon. don't see prices like that anymore lol.
after fueling up i got myself ready to navigate this 80 foot monster threw downtown so i took it at a steady 25 mph took my cornering at 5-10 mph cuz im still trying to get the hang of swining wide so i dont clip no light poles. i here those things cost lol. i passed the first truck i saw in the game so far looked like an international pulling i think a tall hopper trailer, corn maybe i couldnt spend too much time to look cuz cars were cutting in and out in front of me and all i know is gotta keep track of the four wheelers number 1 rule on a motorcycle too. i past a hard rock cafe to had to make a mental note to stop in there before i head out or the next time im back here in LV those places are fun lol.
i finally found (I.W.M.) yard in northwest LV, so i pulled in there real slow cuz the entrance looked a little small for a truck drop lot, but i made it without breaking nothing and crawled on over to the drop symbol in the back of the place. made my first $6,400 bucks as a sim - trucker and i didn't do too bad for the first actual haul ive done in the is game since i went and got it on Tuesday night after work.
and that is the end of my first sim - trucking career lol. actually the game is pretty fun to play and try to test what you thought you knew about driving trucks it is a world differant then cars and bikes but that should be common sence lol. one load down and i think load two will be even better cuz now i halfway know what im doing i still need to get truck info, miles, and links to peoples stuff i used in the game for this to be done but i will get it there one or two blogged runs a week might not kill me. well see you drivers later on my second run im gone.
