Lightning Logistics started a thing called "Member Spotlight". We randomly pick a few drivers and share their stories with you. Take a look at what our drivers told us this month.

Uncle Pepsi

Can you tell us a bit about yourself

So I’m uncle Pepsi, a 15 year old guy from Norway. I’m definitely not the biggest truck nerd out there but significantly more interested in them than your average guy.I’ve always been interested in so called big machinery trucks, excavators, ships, planes basically is it big and does something I like it.

When did you join our VTC, and what made you join us?

I joined Lightning Logistics roughly one year ago when i finally decided to take TMP and ETS2 more seriously. I’m pretty sure I was just looking around for a trucking company and all there lightning was, with its very professional outlook and quite beginner friendly requirements. I’m pretty sure I made a good choice in joining lightning.

What's your favorite Truck & Cargo?

In the beginning I loved to drive heavy cargo for the division with the crane being one of my favorite cargo’s to drive in my very very nice Scania. I also find joy in driving around with minerals for the mining division but the cargo isn’t as easily recognizable as let’s say most heavy cargo.

What do you want to be when your older?

As I mentioned I’ve always loved big machinery, that’s obviously been reflected in what kind of careers I’ve looked at with flight mechanic, mechanic, truck driver. But the one that I’ve really thinked about is being an engine officer. Many people probably don’t know exactly what that is, well an engine officer works on the ship being responsible for keeping the ship in good condition. There’s often more than one engine officer on larger vessels with varying ranks like chief in command and then 1-3 depending on how much experience you have.

What other hobbies do you enjoy?

Some of my hobbies include mountainbiking, skiing, hiking and weather watching. I’m not some kind of prodigy in any of these but I’m not bad at them either, could hold my own in mtb and skiing but like if I meet someone that’s actually good I’m pretty bad. Geography is also a very fun thing to look at and I often find myself delving into Wikipedia rabbit holes regarding some interesting formations I find on either google maps or YouTube.

Adam

Can you tell us a bit about yourself

My name is Laimonas, but everybody knows me better by my middle name Adam. I'm a 17 year old music and tech enthusiast. I also love sports like basketball and volleyball. I also love all vehicles from bikes to public transport and even the biggest planes there is. I fell in love with trucking games, when I was looking for driving games that had realistic driving like POV view/realistic sounds/real clutch control etc.

When did you join our VTC, and what made you join us?

I'm with Lightning Logistics over 9 months months now. At the time I was in the VTC game for a while, but some of them came inactive or just boring. After for a while of searching I stumbeld across Lightning Logistics. First thing that caught my eye was the blue livery, which is my favorite color so it was a plus. So I gave it a go. Upon joining I was greeted with a welcome and to my surprise the application for drivers was to the point and importantly professional. Also I saw that in the VTC there is a person from the same country as me, so that I could get along well. So after 9 months I'm still here and I don't regret my decision becoming a manager there.

What's your favorite Truck & Cargo?

I always was a Volvo driver. I tried different trucks, but they just didn't feel good when driving. For ATS I got to go with Kenworth W900, because It's fast and get's me where I need in no time. Favorite cargo is got to be the hazardous chemicals like fuel, gas, kerosine etc.

What do you want to be when your older?

I want to work somewhere that is linked to IT and/or music or maybe if I'm lucky become a well known DJ.

What other hobbies do you enjoy?

I love sports, driving vehicles, coding and DJ'ing for my family and/or friends.
