Everyone here at At The Mile knows David. He's been a part of our family since 2022, recently returning in January after a hiatus of a few months. David’s activity, work ethic, and commitment as an HR Team Member previously earned him the Team Member of the Month recognition back in November.

This time, we wish to recognize his even greater and outstanding performance behind the wheel by naming him our Driver of the Year 2025. In 2025 alone, David covered a staggering 1,500,000 km, while maintaining incredible attendance at events and convoys. It is no surprise he ranks #2 on our VTC Leaderboard after only 12 months back with us!

We have asked him some questions to get to know him a little bit better!

Congrats on being named our Driver of the Year! Could you introduce yourself to us?

My name is David, I am 32 years old. I am Human Resources at At The Mile. I joined ATM back at the beginning of 2025 and I have also been in this VTC in the past. I am currently unemployed. I love watching football and I am a big fan of meteorology.

You have covered the most distance by far of all our drivers this year. What do you like most about driving in ETS2?

I enjoy exploring the great profitable roads and travel many kilometers in ETS2, meet other players and sometimes stretch a little. I like to take the Calais-Duisburg road, because 80% of the players of TruckersMP is concentrated on this route.

What is your secret to keeping the game enjoyable after all this time?

My secret is that I love this game and wish to become a staff member of TruckersMP in the future. I set myself monthly goals to avoid getting bored with the game, unlike some of my friends who stopped after having made the same trip for 5 or 6 months, even a year, and who abandoned playing.

As an example, my goal is to drive at least 100,000 km per month. After I reach it, the extra distance I drive is a bonus, but I won't count it for next month's 100K goal. I'm also vigilant; if I feel like I don’t want to make long journeys, I choose the shortest ones and evaluate my motivation during the day to decide whether or not I will make a long journey.

Do you have any advice for your fellow At The Mile drivers, or for the TruckersMP community in general?

A tip not to get bored too quickly of the game is to play at your own pace. It is advisable to set monthly rather than annual goals and plan the routes that suit you.
