I was home sick from work IRL yesterday, so I ended up taking a looong trip across Europe in the Scania, hauling a load of food oil from Spain to the Middle East. Lovely views pretty much the whole way! 🌄⛵ #EuroTruckSimulator2 #ETS2

Sapphira hauled an 86,000 lb mobile screener from Colorado Springs to Oklahoma City. I had a difficult start, since I made some stupid shifting decisions when trying to climb out of the quarry. Lessons were learned 😂 Once I got to the top, it was smooth sailing! 💪😅 #AmericanTruckSimulator #ATS
