Life Of A Virtual Trucker Part 19 ( Carlisle To Luxembourg ) Part 2

Part 19 is finally here, part 2 of episode 19 is here, this time I am going back to mainland Europe, but this time I am not driving a company owned truck, the truck is still a Scania R730 but as it is owner operated it is a lot different from my usual truck, and being virtually brand new ( less than 5k on the clock ).
Anyway the load is Ice Cream in a brand new Trans European Logistics trailer with the new livery which stands out what with the icicles on the side of the trailer there is no mistaking that it is a fridge.

Part 3 Coming soon

Promo videos are of course the necessary evil of PR these days, but if you have been following our progress here on the blog, they will not provide you with too much new information.

If you have the patience and time, and if you are really curious to see more from the Going East! game world, you can watch DaSquirrelNuts driving through it while listening to an extensive interview with SCS Software's Pavel Sebor. The topics covered include SCS Software's history, the Going East! add-on, and current and future SCS Software's projects. Warning - this is two full hours of footage!

Change of Topic (and Continent!)

SCS updated their blog with the following post on Friday, September 6, 2013

There is going to be an avalanche of information, images, and movies from Euro Truck Simulator 2 – Going East! add-on coming at you during the next few weeks ahead of release from all sides. Just check out a fresh article on Rock, Paper, Shotgun.
But before this happens, let’s take a short break and take a look at another project under development at SCS Software – American Truck Simulator.

Most developers at our company are dual-monitor users, and there never seems to be enough good wallpapers for two monitors. Perhaps there are also dual-monitor players among the visitors of this blog, so we thought that we would give you a little gift. (Full size here)

Why stop at a wallpaper, maybe you would also appreciate some screenshots from the game?
