Back in 2012 when the game came out my frist own truck that I bought was a very very basic Renault Premium with small daycab, 420 HP and absolutely no modifications whatsoever. It was weak, ugly and standard but it was the cheapest deal I could get. (Wouldn't be realistic to have a pimped out Scania as a starter anyway) Then after I did enough trips with the old Renault to get 100k I bought my second truck a classic Volvo FH540 6*2 and since then I'm driving Volvo all the way :) Perfect and smooth handling, powerful engines, and both the new and the classic one is simply beautiful.

Best cost-benefit truck ingame is the FH16 Classic, no other truck offer you 540HP engine at such low price.

My first truck was the Volvo FH16 Classic, because of the power it has, low price, big display on the dashboard. After that, the new volvo in which i drove 350000 km and after the Mighty Griffin, Scania R 730 and now the brand new Scania R730. I had even a MB Actros IV, for 100000 km. Best of all I'd still say that it was the Volvo FH 2012. Best acceleration, best interior before the New Scania, cool day lights, the lightbox, all of it. But you chose by yourself. For the first truck I strongly recomand to anybody to go by the looks of the truck and after they did that, if they are happy with the performance, it's a fit! If not, find your soulmate,haha

In my opinion the best first truck will be the Volvo or Scania.

My very first truck was the very basic Majestic Across. Really basic when i first bought it back in 2013. I've modified the truck entirely, even the color of the truck. Then i bought my second truck which was the Scania R-series truck. It's original cab was Normal cab, Black mirrors, standard interior (no gps what's so ever). I changed the cab and the engine, even the interior. It had over almost 130,000 km. But sadly though, On April 2017, a virus spread over my old computer which wipped out all of my progress which i was playing on. So 3 months later, i had a new computer and i downloaded again ETS 2, my third truck was a Mercedes Benz New Actros, then i did enjoyed that for weeks, then i bought another truck which is currently my truck in the game which is my DAF XF Euro 6. Before modification, i bought the truck almost a year ago, which the cab is just Space variant, it's interior has already gps as standard on the truck. So i bought it. As of now, the km on the odometer reads 93,000 km.

My first truck was Volvo FH 2012. I remember making some extra jobs just to get enough money for it. I made around 600.000 km with that one. Then was Scania R and I kept it for around 500.000 km. Then New Actros and XF 105 for around 400.000 each and now Scania S. Geez, so much wasted time...
I have approximate knowledge of many things
