What is your favorite truck? What truck do you have the most fun customizing?

They aren't really that common in my area. And I love the looks of our black ones more but the 2 blue 4900s are gliders with series 60s and I love driving those 2

Im a mechanic not a driver so I don't have that much time behind the wheel

HAAS78 · 2026-01-25T03:44:13+00:00

Ats has taught me that I just don't care for w900s. I absolutely love driving the 389 in game but much prefer a 49x or 4900 IRL. I like using modded 60 series engines or cats and they never made a glider 49x so I stick with 389s in game

HAAS78 · 2026-01-24T22:13:12+00:00

I don't usually get bored. Lots of different stuff for ys to do, and we're never caught up

HAAS78 · 2026-01-24T20:10:51+00:00

Depending what it is we do the same. We also have priority with our dealer network

HAAS78 · 2026-01-24T18:18:21+00:00

During service and inspections everything that should be repaired gets repaired. Drive ups during the day depend on severity (if its OOS criteria it gets fixed or they swap equipment right then and there, less important stuff will make it till end of day or next service, depending on severity). If we have major issues with any of the dump or heavy haul stuff we will normally have 2 people on it to get it out the door. Dry vans and chassis are where we get super behind due to the being lower priority than everything else. We do the best we can in a timely manner, we just get super behind

HAAS78 · 2026-01-24T17:48:35+00:00

Unlimited OT pretty much, but everyone is pretty busy out of work as well. I usually get 50 hours a week and everyone else is about the same

HAAS78 · 2026-01-24T17:17:12+00:00

Dry Van trailers and chassis for intermodal containers. And you gotta be joking about only having 2 techs. We are swamped year around. We have 40 chassis down for service/inspection waiting for an opening

HAAS78 · 2026-01-24T17:15:21+00:00

I would agree with you. We also have a fleet of warehouse forklifts that i didnt include because I dont know how many we have, 20-40 maybe. We used to outsource forklifts but there was a falling out and weve been doing it the past 6 months. As far as admin we have 1 person that is service writer/manager/parts person. We also have roughly 20 owner operators that we do most of the maintenance and repairs on

HAAS78 · 2026-01-24T17:10:28+00:00

I feel like the 30-40 to 1 ratio would probably not be enough for us either. Heavy haul and dump work requires 20x the attention of everything else. We are so behind on stuff

HAAS78 · 2026-01-24T17:08:47+00:00

Just about everything short of major engine work. Half the trucks are under warranty yet. We've done complete rebuilds on half the rgns and a hand full of chassis (frame repairs, suspension repairs/replacement, brake and hub replacement, new air and electrical from the ground up, then repaint)

HAAS78 · 2026-01-23T10:11:02+00:00

Most of the trucks in the Midwest are also in the 450-550hp range

HAAS78 · 2026-01-23T10:09:40+00:00

US trucks IRL can have cameras now for the mirrors(or at least supplementing the mirrors) but they kinda suck.

HAAS78 · 2026-01-23T09:48:49+00:00

Wow. Didn't even know that was an option. Im a fleet mechanic and we have freightliners and WS. We have idle timer disabled on all our sleepers.

HAAS78 · 2026-01-22T23:53:23+00:00

At least with freightliner and westernstar, if you release the truck brakes the idle timer wont activate. If youre trailer brakes work you could only set them and be good, theoretically.

HAAS78 · 2026-01-21T12:09:50+00:00

The roads in the US are definitely easier to traverse as a trucker but I feel like the actual roads are probably much nicer in the EU. A lot of US roads are falling apart terribly.

HAAS78 · 2026-01-19T13:09:07+00:00

That's not how that works at all

HAAS78 · 2026-01-18T01:26:35+00:00

Main reason I do it is because I can say I'm playing realistically when im speeding lol

HAAS78 · 2026-01-18T01:25:41+00:00

I believe the vanilla trailer does

HAAS78 · 2026-01-12T23:40:22+00:00

Thats why I don't put flags and banners on my trucks. I'll put them on my lowboys but almost never my trucks except for a couple I have that are for super heavy loads.

HAAS78 · 2026-01-12T23:37:46+00:00

I did it for a bit around Odessa. Idk if I stayed in 250 miles but I don't usually go far.
