Jollicious Josh's Journeys

#1 Post by JolliciousJosh » 17 May 2021 04:47

Welcome to Jollicious Josh's Journeys, where stories and diaries destined together.

History: I started to play the game through the demo mode on September 2020. However, the demo mode was on the middle of 1.36 (for two months). There, Jason and Olive assisted me how to maneuver the trailer and using the retarder while slowing down/stop the truck. (That time when my virtual trucking company was still in progress and finishing their touches until its unveiling last November 4, 2020).
After I master these techniques, two months later, they recommended me to graduate to the stable version. (P.S. I wasn't on the 1.39 open beta yet, but at the latter patch of 1.38.) Three days later, Malaya Delivery Transport established, with its headquarters/main office in Liege, Belgium.
My VTC is in the hands of Jason, Olive and yours truly, as the head. Because of best practices towards the VTC, it expanded some parts in Europe (such as in Poissy, Bourges {but mini office only that is few meters away from Dans Le Jardin}, La Rochelle, Munich and Dusseldorf.). Nowadays, my VTC continues to grow and accelerate.

Here, my trucking stories and diaries are compiled in a thread, behind the wheel across EU. I also took classical trucks, too.


These are my truck photo showcase from the past:

Last Friday, I drove an Actros 1845 MP4 from Gdansk, Poland to Kunda, Estonia while carrying 17 tons of onions, but unfortunately, a minibus got wrecked my truck on a left side of the bumper while it tried to overtake a sedan while traversing along highway E67 in Latvia (few kilometers to the border between Latvia and Estonia). My truck got only minor damage, so I stick with Scania R440 Streamline to continue my trucking journeys in the North, while my Actros 1845 MP4 had undergo repair.

Start the Future.

June 10 was the date when the new DAF XG and XG+ released in the game, a day after the release IRL. On the following day, Olive and I had a glimpse to drive the new XG+ in a MX-11 450 PS variant, in time of our special day(s) of Malaya Delivery Transport. In addition, my "digital trucking company" based in Belgium had the freedom to take other's semi-trailers (a.k.a. rent-a-semi-trailer) apart from using our owned dry box semi-trailers.

Here's my first run last Friday on the new XG+ from a logistic company in Liege (right beside my garage/base office) towards a supermarket in La Rochelle via Poissy (in Paris where I had a mini-stop over in a corner near the garage where Olive assigns there and took a ride on this truck).

Meanwhile, I took this truck and this time, for the Northern Journeys. I took a double trailer from a supermarket in Odense, Denmark bound for Bergen, Norway carrying 15t of used plastics, and is capable having a maximum output of 450 PS, and a GCM of 33 tons.

Last June 12th, my digital trucking company acquired another XG+, with the company's signature livery.

My first XG+ gets painted with this livery a couple of days/weeks. I'm so impressed with these mirror cameras. I consider this truck as a 'wonder and fabulous' ever because the cabin gets even bigger and bolder and expandable compared to other EU trucks. Its comfortability got pure excellent, and other features of the truck gets outstanding. I love this truck!
