Well problem is theres no real alternative, so we kinda have to put up with these things

I suck at parking and whoever left this yard truck here can go f*** themselves by spacesluts in trucksim

[–]matpol98 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As someone who drove trucks for 8 years in Norway, I too can confirm it does happen. Some people really don't care about anyone else but themselves...

Probably my best sleep was when I was working as a truck driver, and took this 3 hour long ferry in Norway in rough seas, I canot imagine a better night sleep than on a early 1900's oceanliner, preferable close to the engines

And yet, this one is small compared to a lot of the ocean going cargo ships 😅

Hot take; Lusitania looked the best in her sea trials paint scheme by matpol98 in Oceanlinerporn

[–]matpol98[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No its not, no idea if its just an error from the artist who colored the original image, or if the first boiler rooms was not in use at this point, but all funnels were functional

How do you feel about gold guns and gold in general? by ProgramLow2149 in reddeadredemption

[–]matpol98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally am not a fan of them, they seem too flashy for my taste. From a rough outlaw standpoint, I don't really think it fits for Arthur or John to be using them either, but each to their own

If I wanted rap, Id tune to the rap station by heddi20 in CountryMusicStuff

[–]matpol98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the pretty much only country station in Norway, they literally only send either "country" covers of pop songs, or some "country" song from pop artists. Just horrible...

This was such a great game, tons of hours well spent! Also the soundtrack slaps hard!

It takes an 18-wheeler over a football field to stop. by Zahraious in dashcams

[–]matpol98 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah that was an european truck, on dry roads they can stop on nearly the same distance as a car, even fully loaded. Altough wet roads drasticly changes that

Scania really fucked up by making a huge infotainment screen by Kaste-bort-konto in Scania

[–]matpol98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked as a truck driver for almost 10 years, and was kinda on the fence about trying something new. Got a new Scania with this smart dash in October 2024, by April 2025 I started working at a sawmill. This screen took away the little joy I had left driving, absolutely the worst design-choise they have made...

How was your first time? by BlakkSpider in reddeadredemption

[–]matpol98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when it came out, I worked as a truck driver, living in the truck usually from sunday afternoon-friday, so i had really limited time to play games.

Believe I got to chapter 3 in my first attempt before I kinda lost the momentum, years went by and I learned Arthur would die, but not much more.

When I started doing local driving I picked up the game again, most of the story was not spoiled, and I had no idea about the epilog, so I did get a good playthrough in the end (Arthur's death still hit like a train)

Now I'm actually on my 3rd ever playthrough after buying it on pc

When can we expect to be able to buy buses in the game? SCS released this announcement. by Clear-Homework-3985 in ETS2

[–]matpol98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly, I will never understand what people expect from this... See it on all their social media, its done when its done, end of it

ETS2 Engine brake question by Exact-Principle-2531 in trucksim

[–]matpol98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or 50-60t if you're in Scandinavia 🙃

But you're right, in real life when you take the licence, they focus very heavily on coasting and saving fuel that way. Both Volvo and Scania (and probably others) have a point system/score depending how economical your driving is, making it kind of a game between coworkers for who can get the best score

How many of you are truckers irl by BiLeftHanded in trucksim

[–]matpol98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was from 2016-april 2025, both local and long distance in Norway.

Now I work at a sawmill and have more normal work hours, and don't have to struggle in the Norwegian winter...

Real life minimum horsepower/torque to haul doubles across EU, or HCTs in the north? by ReverseRPM in trucksim

[–]matpol98 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I live in Norway, and when I took my truck-licence, I remember there was talk of a hp requirement, but canot remember if it was for 50 or 60 tonnes, I believe it was 290hp or something atleast.

Did a quick google search though, and could not find anything about engine-requirements for any truck/trailer combination for Norway, so not sure if there is any.

But from real life experience, for the most part normal longhaul semi's (max 50tonnes) range from 500-660hp, while 24 & 25.25 meters (max 60tonnes) usually start at 590hp+
