What is your favourite part about our family?

I have many favourite parts of this family, the friends I've made since joining, the attendance in convoys, knowing you'll always have someone at the convoy with you every time, also the fact anyone can jump in to a VC and instantly feel welcome, it's a really great place to be!

What do you typically drive and where do you drive it?

I typically drive the Scania S, which I take along the C-D road and the alpine route.

What game is better: ETS2 or ATS? (Why)

I'd have to say ETS2, Although ATS is a beautiful game, ETS2 is a lot more populated and I prefer the trucks on ETS2.

What other games do you play?

I also play Phasmophobia, Fortnite and a bit of GTA V now and again.

Why did you join the GPE Family?

Before I joined GPE I was a part of another VTC which has now gone, while I was part of that, I always saw GPE at convoys, I always spoke to Aurma during those convoys. When the previous VTC ended, Aurma asked me to join GPE and I thought about it for a week and decided I would join, which I'm very glad I have.

What is your dream job?

My dream job would be a Train driver or to be a trucker!

What would you say is one thing you have learned whilst in GPE?

Whist I have been with GPE I have learned how to represent our VTC professionally.

What are your hobbies?

My hobbies include Gaming, meeting friends, listening to music.

What 1 word sums up your TruckersMP experience?

Extraordinary is the word I'd use.

Finally, what would be your one bit of advice to a new driver on TruckersMP?

My bit of advice to a new driver would be to not be shy, join us in VCs, you'll always be treated as family here!
