First of all, I want to apologize for my inactivity in this forum in the past few months, but now I am back(again).
From now on, I will try to post my screenshots as often as possible.

I started fresh by creating a new profile with Promods + Rusmap map combination. I started my career in Szczecin, Poland, a city situated near the Germany–Poland border. There are a few reasons why I chose that city to start with. First, it is located on the middle of map. Second, Poland has the second cheapest fuel price in ETS 2. Third, it is near to Świnoujście, which is a port city.

After my first job, I went on with the second job instinctively. For my second job, I was given a DAF XF Euro 6 Space Aero with a 420 HP Paccar MX-13 303 Euro 6 engine to haul a Hammar Sidelifter loaded with a nitro tank, 20 tonnes in total, from a Eddie Stobart depot in Szczecin(Wait, Eddie Stobart does operate in Poland?), to its recipient, Waberer's in Gdynia, Poland. (This is probably one of the longest sentence I have typed, if not the longest.)

Here come the actual screenshots from my trip.

Thanks Julian, that's nice to know.
I am using the ETS2 Fast Track Playguide by Perylous because I want to make my company self-sufficient as soon as possible to buy new trucks. Because in the guide I am told to buy a Volvo FH16 2009, which the alternate universe me did in Hungary, I am going to repeat the story, once again, so pardon me.

After my second job, I discovered a Volvo dealer in Gdynia when roaming around the city. Suddenly, the thought of freight market jobs offer higher job income than quick job came into my mind, and the earlier I own my first truck, the earlier I unlock freight market jobs. So with this in mind, I only visited the local bank to check the loan offers on the next day, because the bank didn't open at night. It turned out to be the loan is actually quite affordable. A loan of €100,000 has a daily installment of €2,888, even quick jobs have income higher than that.

Then, I visited the Volvo dealer and it has an used trucks center. After much considerations of many factors such as maintenance history, preparation and the warranty, I was convinced by Volvo by their comprehensive pre-sale preparation. Finally, the sentence in their email was true, that is, the truck you have always dreamt of might be just behind the door. I saw an affordable Volvo FH16 2009 on display, I inquired the sales representative beside me for the specifications of the truck.

Specifications:
Series: FH16
Chassis: 4x2
Cabin: Sleeper(L2H1)
Engine: D16C540(397kW), maximum 2,650 Nm torque at 1,000-1,450 rpm.
Gearbox: I-Shift ATO3512D
Fuel tank capacity: 1,400L
Mileage: 231,456 km
List price: €55,794

With €55,750 left in my account balance which is close to the price of the truck, that truck became mine. Finally I have at least something to park in my tiny garage.

The location of my garage is quite remote.

Out there at the main road waiting for me was a traffic jam. Yes, even a combine harvester was queuing.

What an exhaust pipe I have!

Close inspection. The rear mudflaps were worn.

Ran a diagnostic test. The board computer showed my truck had "6%" damage. That's total €2,260 to repair and recondition.
After some polishing,

That's all for now.
