Another boring trip across the plains, first hauling a load of maize from Tulsa, OK to Colby, KS, and then a forwarder from Colby to Denver, before heading home to Colorado Springs. Time to get back to the mountains, I think! ⛰️🚚💨 #AmericanTruckSimulator #ATS

I've finally completed the #CruisingNordicHorizons event, and I definitely saved the best trip for last! I delivered a double trailer load of truck batteries from Bergen to Kristiansund (Norway) and was treated to some of the best scenery I've seen from this DLC 😍🌄🚚💨 #EuroTruckSimulator2 #ETS2

Giving Finland some love in #CruisingNordicHorizons! First I hauled train axles from Honningsvåg (Norway) to Ivalo, then a load of coal to Tornio.

I enjoy finding new viewpoints and exploring hidden roads, but perhaps doing this with a triple lowboy on the back wasn't the smartest idea 😂 Oh well, I made it! This "OId Oregon Trail" hidden road in Scottsbluff, NE was pretty cool #AmericanTruckSimulator #ATS
