He still drives a Peterbilt 379, I think, or maybe a 389—I can't really tell the difference between Peterbilts :D But the truck isn't his anymore; I think it belongs to his father now.



And as Flight50 said, he now works for SCS, and we are very happy about that because since his arrival, he has brought what SCS was missing: knowledge about US trucks and how the work is done, and this can be seen in the trucks we have had since his arrival.

My Dad, who purchased the 2003 from me, has refused to sell it or put a driver in it. So it's been sitting for the last 2 years waiting for me to come back :roll:

Yes, it's good to see your father keeping you employed in case things don't work out at SCS, but I'd rather see you at SCS, even if it's selfish, because you've contributed so much to the ATS game with your experience.

My bad for spreading miss information. I recall a stream you mentioning you bought that W990 and you sold all your equipment when you said you retired. I guess I misunderstood or just don't remember the stream word for word.

When you came back to drive recently, on the vlog you did posted on the SCS blogs, wasn't that a Peterbilt you drove? Why not drive the W990 for old times sake if it's waiting for you?

My bad, the 2003 is a 379. I sold the W990 to another friend - it's still going up and down the road hauling chocolate :)

The flat top from the videos is my dad's 389

Gotcha. A chocolate hauling W990 lol. Well when the W990 comes to ATS, you will be able to recreate your old W990 as close as possible I'm sure. It has definitely grown on me over the years. I remember seeing a video on youtube once when a guy had them side by side comparing them. At the end of the day, his words was......they are the same but different and he couldn't pick which one he liked more. He said from the chassis down, its the same truck.

The W990 won't replace my W900 but I will definitely put some miles on it a couple times a month when I do get to play ATS.

I have a chocolate factory in my home town, and their T680's are beautiful, along with their shiny tankers.
