New ATS Convoy Multiplayer!

honestly i think they need a ride along, the ability to sit in the passenger seat while another player drives, i think it would be epic

Hey Jeff, I figured I would share my trucking simulator story with you. It's quite long... So buckle up 😆 (I think it is worth the read) My father (64 y/o) and I (21 y/o) run a small trucking company in Nova Scotia Canada, and I just purchased this game for my PC. Boy, don't I wish trucking in the real world was this easy, but in reality it is an extremely hard life filled with ups, downs, and all arounds... With very small margins and extremely high costs (we do about 1m in sales anually and we just barely get by) it is not easy. Trucking has done a lot for me - growing up it was all I knew, they were in my blood from a very young age. Quite frankly, I believe that trucking is one of the most fascinating industries in the world. Where would we be without the trucking industry for just one week? Throughout my life, it has taught me a lot. But above all, trucking has made my father and I best friends. growing up he was rarely around - as he would be working 7 days a week trying to keep a roof over our heads and make everything look like it was fine - but it was far from. When I was born he was running one of the most successful family owned trucking company in eastern Canada, he had it all. Until one day, two of his higher up employees decided to leave to start their own company and cut all of his rates and presented those rates to all of his customers - he lost everything and had to sell to a large trucking company you may know or have seen, Armour Transport. He hit rock bottom and had the government coming after him for over a million dollars (year 2005) - but he had nothing left. We almost lost it all. Our house, cars, my parents marriage almost collapsed, it was a tough time. But he did the unthinkable and found a loop hole in his non compete Claus with the company he sold to which made him able to start up another company (ARJ Logistics) and only do local transportation (the length of the non compete was 10 years) and he ran this company himself for the last 16 years out of pocket, with no money. All he was left with were a few trucks that he was able to keep through it all and found a way to, as we say, "keep on trucking". All by himself, slowly he established a small customer base. Between cold winters where he would work through snowstorms, sickness, paychecks for himself that he couldn't even cash because there was nothing in the business account, etc... On top of all of that - there was no heat in the building he was renting because it was an abandoned trucking building from the 70s as that was all he could afford. Somehow, he was able to push through it all. Thanks to all of the hardwork, sleepless nights, tears and dedication, today we are still here! We made it all the way through with out a single bank loan, new truck, or any help, just the power of hard work, sacrifices and most of all - Family. We are far from out of the woods, but we now have 5 full size sleeper semis (one of which being an 05 Peterbilt 379 long nose as seen in my profile picture) 4 - 5 ton straight trucks and 10 employees. I am so proud of what he has been able to accomplish. With all of that being said... The craziest part about it all, he's never even driven a semi truck! He has run the business with his knowledge of the industry. But, it has always been a dream of his to get his license and hit the open road. Being 64, there is no way he can get it now... So that dream is over - but this game has given him a really small taste again. He sits and watches me play it after work, asking me how to do things in the game and I'm slowly teaching him how to figure it out for himself so that he can play it as well. I plan to buy the whole steering wheel setup with pedals, just so that he can get that small taste of what it would be like if he had of gotten his license. He absolutely loves it. He's the most incredible man in the world, and I really hope I can make this company successful and one day get my license and travel all over with him by my side. But for now, this game and work 7 days a week is the next best thing... Thank you so much for the awesome content. I figured I would share a nice long winded story to add to your cup of coffee on this great Friday morning! Kindest Regards, Ashton, ARJ Logistics

Come on join our convoy rocking through the night we gotta keep this trucking convoy across the USA convoy

Yes on the newer trucks the brake lights come on with the exhaust brake. Any questions about trucking feel free to ask. Ive been driving semis for 11 years now. Keep up the great content guys!

Okay, with a.i. traffic, I might just give multiplayer another try.

Love the ATS Multiplayer....looks so cool.....Cascadia is one good looking truck!!! Hope Alex's mum gets well soon and everything goes well....wishing him and his family all the best xxx

Sitting in my truck right now watching this. I think it’s awesome that you guys actually enjoy these type of games. Because I can vouch for how awesome it actually is in real life.

My favorite thing is to boot up Jeff's ATS videos, and get my own ATS trip going. I think we have all felt lonely during the pandemic; so it feels like I'm playing with my old pals. So, Jeff; thanks for being a friend.

As a trucker, some trucks have the brake lights actived when using the jake brake but most trucks don't

Man, I really hope they allow for custom servers with mods and such, having custom trucks and trailers, real companies, JazzyCat's traffic would be incredible! Even just workshop mods support would be great.

Lol the dedication to this game that some people have is just funny to me, like the actual radio, that's amazing

44:35 was waiting for Sarge to get on the radio and give the okay to TAKE EM OUT!
