What is your favourite part about our family?

I am just trying to keep it short, because if I were to say everything I love, I would write a whole paragraph. The community is nice even when there is no convoy, there are a lot of people in the voice chat. After convoys, you can drive around with people, which I love to do!

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

I basically have two trucks I drive. The first one is a Scania R2009, which I mostly use when I drive convoys or on the C-D road. My second truck is a Scania R2016, which I basically only use when I'm doing jobs.

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

In my opinion, Euro Truck Sim 2 is better due to its variety of trucks and vegetation changes. American Truck Sim does have some upsides, but I am not the biggest fan of American Trucks.

What other games do you play?

When I am not playing ETS2. I play Lies of P with a friend who helps me through the game. And sometimes, Roblox, I don't have a specific category to play.

Why did you join the GPE Family?

In the VTC's I was after Red Line Cargo, I felt like this wasn't right. So after 2 tries in different VTC's, I just gave GPE a try, due to its high reputation. And I have to say, it is great here. It feels like I am in the right VTC, which I am not wanting to leave!

What is your dream job?

I currently have no real dream job. But I am currently doing an apprenticeship as a car body repair guy since late 2022.

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

To be more active in voice chat when there is no convoy going on, because all of the guys and girls are really nice!

What are your hobbies?

I love playing Euro Truck Sim 2, working on my IRL car (a Nissan Micra K11).

What 1 word sums up your TruckersMP experience?

Difficult. It is like a hate/love relationship with me and this game. Sometimes it can be totally awful, but then you can have the best time you ever had while playing a video game!

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

Do whatever you like, as long as it is allowed!
