Below is a copy of a original post by Scanman89 on the facebook page
Trans European Logistics (our in house VTC) is currently recruiting new drivers for the new contracts that we have. We are looking for part time and full time day drivers and trampers, to carry on our reputation of delivering the goods safely and on time.
If you think you are up to the job then visit our website and submit your application.
Don’t delay…Apply today.

Don’t delay…Apply today.

For those of you that do not know what a VTC is, well VTC is short for Virtual Trucking Company, and websites run these for fun, and it can increase the gaming pleasure a bit and in some cases enjoyment, our VTC for example is well run, we have our own in house skinners for the trucks and trailers, Our VTC is called Trans European Logistics, we have on staff dispatchers, a forum member will post 3 possible loads from their current location in the dispatches forums, a dispatcher will then pick a load for that driver to complete, and more often that not it is not the highest paying load that will get dispatched.
Once the driver has completed the delivery, they will then post in the logs section and include certain information, please check the example below:

Name:Scanman89
Truck Number:T1002
Cargo:Yogurt
Start depot:Grimsby (GB)
Start Time:
End Depot:Helsinki (FIN)
End Time:
Mileage:938 m
Fuel Used:818.7l (£507)
Fines: Nil
Damage: 1% lost £166
Earnings: £35,985
Comments:2 tolls total £175 2 Ferries total £1,197 Repairs and maintenance £3,336.
Them Swedish toll motorways are bloody expensive. Longest run I’ve had in a while. The Scania really got to stretch her legs.

Trans European Logistics is growing on a more or less daily basis, each driver is assigned their own truck number, and given access to the TEL skin packs for the trucks and trailers, including the new Iveco Hi-way, if you would like more information pop into the forums and check out the TEL general discussion, and a member of the TEL management team will answer them for you, or if you would like to apply to be a driver, or dispatcher or even both ( as we all multi-task ), just drop a application in.

Hosted Blog Post - Impressions from the DLC

SCS updated their blog with the following post, on Monday, August 12, 2013

The following is a direct transcript of text written by a long-term fan and supporter of our games, currently helping us with beta testing of the Going East! add-on for ETS2:

SCS Software decided to invite only a few chosen people to start playing and testing their upcoming project – DLC for ETS2. I have a big pleasure to be among them. It is so important for me, because most of added terrain in the DLC is terrain of Poland – the country when I live.

If you are not from Poland, you must know that Polish roads are really specific. Most of main roads are tight, narrow and going through hundreds of towns and cities. What is more, the condition of them is rather bad. On the other hand, many of them are now under renovation or reconstruction.

The producers of DLC had such a difficult job to do. They had to show Polish road network as much worse than in the Western Europe, but on the other hand as one which is under intensive reconstruction. What is more, Polish fanbase had big expectations connected with Going East DLC. We all know that is impossible to build every bigger city (Poland has 16 voivodeships, 11 of them would be included in game, as cities with landmarks and cargos), add hundreds of towns, thousands of kilometeres of ratty roads.

I think that SCS had done such a good job. Much better than me and most of Polish fans were expecting. Many people were thinking that SCS would make roads in Poland as boring, straight, wide motorways, without any climate. They were mistaken. Admittedly, they haven't included furrows in Polish roads, but they made them as they should look: tight, narrow, and full of roadcrosses. You can do deliveries in only 11 of 16 capitals of voivodeships, but on the other hand you are allowed to go through few smaller cities and towns. The map is also full of landmarks and beautiful places. I was shocked when I saw the characteristic railway bridge near Lublin – city where I come from. I don't want to leak everything about map, so I will just add, that you must explore Masurian Lakeland.

Don't be surprised when comfortable, wide motorway suddenly ends, and you will be forced to leave it and continue your journey going through switchback road.

The map is now under the beta tests. As one of testers, I must tell that it has less bugs than I expected. I hope that we will not find too many bugs and it would be released by local publishers as expected – in September 2013. The map is little bit unequal. It has its better and worse parts. I hope that we, as beta testers, will help SCS to equalize and polish it.

Life Of A Virtual Trucker Part 15

Life Of A Virtual Trucker Part 15 Frankfurt To Calais ) Part 1

Well there was a slight change of plans today when my planner contacted me, another of our drivers truck broke down with a major gearbox problem, and instead of heading to the UK for my Scania R730 to have her service I have had to cover his load, a tanker full of Oil bound for Calais, but it is not to bad, as I am not far from the Uk and only a short hop over on the Euro tunnel, should be a short hop over to swap trucks, have we decided with make and model I shall be taken on the next trip, as at the end episode 16 I shall be picking the loaner truck up ready for my next load, so if you want to see a particular truck in episode 16 then see it in action in episode 17 then now is the time for your votes
