the company i work at replace the trucks between 800,000 - 1,000,000 km which is between 3-5 years depending on what that truck is driving, so your pretty much on the spot harishw8r.
Blackout rims? as in painted? rarely see that, on O/O they are usually polished chrome or coloured in 2 tones to match with custom paintjob. fleet trucks usuallly just standard steel grey rims, like skoot listed.

edit: above is for European spec trucks.

Yeah 1 mill km (Scania) is also what I've heard from back then I earned my drivers licens

Thank you all for the feedback. I hope these qualify as fleet trucks :P Suggestions are welcome.

@harishw8r for ATS,if you want your combo to look more like a fleet combo,i would put steel wheels on the trailer.
But hey,that's just my opinion and what i see the most everyday.You can customize your combo the way you want ;)

EDIT : here's what a common fleet spec would look like,in my opinion.

@harishw8r You can have your fleet look in ATS any way you want it... If you see USA trucker videos on YT, there are tons of specs from different fleets. In case of the Cascadia, i don't think is common to see them with the AeroX kit on the side deflectors and on the rear mudflaps... so i would tick that option off. Keep things basic is the thumb rule if you want to have a typical fleet truck look.

Here's the configurations i chose for my company in-game:

__________________________________________________

One thing that is very different from one fleet to the other is the interior specs... Some companies spend some extra bucks to keep the drivers comfortable.. Others couldn't care less about the driver (They just want the miles and money)... So in this matter is up to you 'cause there's no accurate pattern.

Also, most fleets uses plain white trailers with their logo on one of the edges. (There are exceptions but most companies do use only white trailers).

Here's the bosses truck (Aka my truck):

__________________________________________________

TL,DR:

Fleet look = Basic look on the outside; Interior is completely up to you; plain white trailers; Alloy wheels on the tractor unit and white steelies on the trailer.

__________________________________________________

Also, take a look in this video... See how the parked trucks look like and take inspiration from it. (PS: The guy is from Brazil and he's speaking in Portuguese, just ignore what he's saying and look at the trucks)

I was thinking about a j-spec,or fleet spec thread for the screenshot section of ATS.
Moderators can i make one,if it doesn't already exist?

I thought there already was one, but I guess I'm just remembering wrong because I can't find it. If you do start a thread, you should probably just call it fleet spec. It can't be J-spec unless the thread is started by Jarrad himself. ;)
