                                                <description>12PK-TRUCKIN’ is a virtual trucking company (VTC). We drive simulated trucks in American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2, logging miles using an application called TrucksBook. As a company, we log a million or more miles (sometimes 2 or 3 million) each month. To put that into perspective, a thousand miles traveling at around 70 miles per hour in the game takes 1 hour. As a company, we are very dedicated. We were established on October 4th, 2018 and have grown to over 100 members already. This community is a strong community, we have bonds that can not be broken. Our primary goal is to have fun and enjoy the community, while also being professional and respectful to each other, as well as other drivers we encounter in the games. 12PK-TRUCKIN&#039; was started as a group effort, and over time we have become one big family.</description>

                <title>Breast Cancer Awareness Convoy: Recap</title>
                <link>https://truckersmp.com/vtc/34/news/10834</link>
                <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi Everyone,</p>
<p>Thanks to those who came out to support our Breast Cancer Awareness Convoy on Saturday. We had a good time driving from LA to Hobbs and then all the way up to Seattle. During our convoy, we were also able to raise $40 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. While that may not seem like much, that's $40 more than they would have received if we hadn't bothered to even try, so I would call that a success! Hopefulkly next year we can get that number even higher.</p>
<p>Even though the event is over, you can still support the National Breast Cancer Foundation here: https://tiltify.com/@eaglespy009/12pk-truckin-breast-cancer-awareness-convoy</p>
<p>Thanks for the support everyone!</p>

                <description><![CDATA[<p>As you may have noticed, ATS had an update to the game earlier today, which means that TruckersMP is not compatible until they update it... But have no fear, because there is still a working version. To play TMP until it is updated, simply go to your properties for ATS in Steam and change to this version:

                <link>https://truckersmp.com/vtc/34/news/47487</link>
                <description><![CDATA[<p>I started trucking with a major streamer in Aug of 2018. During this time I had broken my foot and was using it as a form of therapy. I was driving almost 100,000 miles each month till I went back to work, but that is jumping ahead a little. The first few months were great making lots of friends and being promoted to manager of this streamers trucking side along with about 6 others. One day this streamer had an issue with another manager using the push to talk priority feature. Instead of telling us not to use it they removed all of the permissions for us managers, making us have titles but we could do nothing with new drivers. One evening Repo and I was talking and we decided we will just break apart from this streamer and make our own company. This ended up being the evening of Oct 4th 2018. We made 12PK Truckin' and starting inviting those managers that felt the same way we had. And then we reached out to our friends and gave them an option of staying or leaving, not once did we force anyone. Now I would love to say we made record after record since that day but its not the case. We have had splits of our own, as well as many drivers have become inactive over time. We stayed a top 5 team till Feb of 2019, Which is where our first split happened. This split was due to a difference of opinions' from having many Co Owners. We started out with 6 to 8 co owners which is way too many. If I could go back I would have listened more to one person and tried to find common ground instead of having the argument we had over something so silly. We grew and dropped over the next year being a solid top 10 company having many of the the best drivers leave. The next split happened when I found out the CO owner that I had built this with was soliciting money from anyone he could. Having the choice of either having the company fall apart and no one left or firing the co owner I choose to keep the company alive and have him step down as owner. This did not help due to he was still asking and throwing around he was co owner. I eventually had to kick him out, leaving me as the sole owner of 12PK. I have with the help of many managers kept 12PK running, many bad months and many good ones.</p>
<p>For the future I want to grow 12PK into a thriving company again. but it takes drivers willing to drive. Even if sometimes they don't want to. We all agreed to run at a minimum of 2500 miles each month and we need to get back to that. The future of 12PK is in the hands of the drivers. I will keep the doors open till I'm the last person cause that is the type of person I am.</p>
<p>If you reading this and going oh my god and have questions my DMs are open and I will answer any questions you may have.</p>
<p>Hope to see you on the virtual roads.</p>
<p>Mech.</p>
