Decided to give the Truck Diaries a re-watch. I wish Squirrel would either re-start this series or do a whole new one. The game has changed so much since he recorded these. (I'm so used to a talking GPS now it seems really weird without one.) I think almost everything Promods added in this video is now officially part of the game and Promods has added even more. The last trucking diaries video was in 2019 (roughly 3 years ago as I write this), so I feel like the time might be right for a revival.
I love this series wish he would continue it
that moment when you’re so long in quarantine that you start watching old squirrel playlists
Ikr
Literally me
yep yep
im so high i thought this was just uploaded.
@@Dockhead did you drink Corona Virus? :3
3:20 is it me or does Squirrel use indicators at roundabouts correctly in game more than people do in real life?
Totally agree. Theirs a roundabout near me that I cross on my walk to school where no one indicated and when you cross they speed up towards you.
He doesnt.
DanLo4der Yeah. Whenever I go for a drive, nobody indicates when they're going to exit, or which way they're going to turn. I've seen people do a U turn going all the way around, with no indicator at all.
I'm not sure about law the laws in the UK, but in Germany you only indicate when leaving the roundabout. You do not indicate while entering or driving round it like he does.
+germanTHX in the UK you have to indicate on entry, whilst your on it and when you come off.
I remember when Squirrel used to play this game. Good times. RIP.
Squirrel Logistic on fire, other truck companies are terrified!!!
+Dan White Jesus the salt is real
And the fire service are very busy!
NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
+Jamesclass37 yeah ahaha 😂
Other truckers hate him
You're voice soothes me to sleep like a warm blanket.
Me too
Me three
Oh, no! You can tell, Paul, has been hooked on to ATS, when he says "Highway" instead of" Motorway"...
"Don't you dare hit my tru-"
*hits his truck*
"Do you actually know how to drive?
*continues scraping along the truck*
Best part
Before I even watch the video I like it!
Same
Same
Same
Who doesn't?When its a Squirrel video you know its going to be good.
Same :D
Squirrel, if you refuel a truck that isn't yours, you don't pay for the fuel
no wonder
Sort of yes because it goes out of you're pay for the job so if you refuel it will pay you less for the job same goes for toll booths so yah
+Dark Gravity that isn't true.
That's right. You never pay for fuel on 'Quick Jobs'. You never pay for Tolls. You never pay for Ferry trips BUT you do get paid less for Quick Jobs than the owner driver jobs. Boy when Squirrel says it's been a long time since he had to start a profile in this game, he wasn't kidding. I've had to start over many times due to computer failures so I'm intimately acquainted with starting new profiles. Maybe I should take my own advice and sequester a copy of my ETS2 documents folder on a USB drive. Starting from scratch is a good way to keep in touch with all facets of this game and ATS.
Maciuc u do
He makes really wide turns, just like when the bus collided with him
you have to to keep the trailer on the road
Toshiro Yamada You don't have to make turns THAT wide to keep the trailer on the road
+Berdthday Boy it's probably a force of habit since he usually pulls mad oversized loads
+AndrewJennings propably
This has got to be the most intense game of all time. This really gets your heart going in a whole new not even defined way yet!
Btw.
1. The glass walls on bridges are for avoiding wind AND people not trying to kill themselves. Even on the motorway.
2. There actually ARE IKEA stores in Odense, Aarhus and Aalborg. Also in Gentofte and Taastrup.
Glad I could help :D
Finally, EU version of the Trucking Dairies! Ive been waiting a long time for this, and I hope its a good journey throughout Europe! Happy trucking!! :D
Found this 4 years later then posted, also wanted to thank you for helpul quide about the game, my fist game save was totally bad with poor workes and wrong training haha, but now thanks to your helpful quide about the game my new career is awesome and enjoybale, also just started playing this like month ago😇 Greetings from 🇪🇪
Danish is a very weird language, so here's a tip about city names: "double-a" like in AArhus and AAlborg, is actually supposed to sound different than you'd think. It's a bit tough to describe the sound, but it's a bit like the first o-sound in the word Oreo.
Oh yes, the memories!
Reminds me of your early ETS2 series which got me to buy the game, like the 70 tonne Volvo.
I hope this series goes on a while!
This is the first vid I’ve ever seen from you, and I instantly love your channel! You are so calm.. it’s nice to watch these while doing homework- or just relaxing, as I don’t need to give my full attention to it. :)
Had the game for over a year, probably near to 2 years and just now starting to get into it. Dusted off my Thrustmaster F430 wheel as well. These videos are going to be great for learning and glad to see even an experienced player, can still end up with collisions and misreading what the correct lanes to use etc are. It gives encouragement to the newbie, that not everything they are doing is causing problems.
Nice to see Jeff has managed to land a job in Europe!
As a dane... I can't help to feel abit honored by the fact, that you would choose our "little" country to start your Diaries journey ;) Thanks for the videos, and stay cool Mr Squirrel.
7:25 No blinker ! Ticket :))
As I missed your first ET2 back in the day, this has been a pleasure to watch, look forward to traveling around Europe with you. I admire you starting this as now you are experienced it must be a challenge in some ways to go back to basics. Thank You 👏
33:24 approaches a "Give way" (yet fails to give way), pulls out in to an oncoming coach which then has to harsh break and collides during its left turn, then squirrel says "do you actually know how to drive?" hahahaha priceless ill subscribe just for the comedy. But on a serious note that's how people are in reality on the road!
Really enjoyed the video, as always you did a great job. By the way, I was yelling at that crazy bus driver for you. I can tell i'm going to enjoy this series.
just one thing for you all.. when your in a hired truck and you do notice your running low on fuel then you can refuel as the company pays it for you. so do not worry about the fuel cost
Decided to watch this, I have only one word to say about my experience watching it thus far... Exhilarating
Been waiting for this, thanks a lot Squirrel!
This brings memories of 2012 and 2013 back: The magic of starting an ETS2 career anew.
Already looking forward to this, thank you. Will you do a poll on your "first" truck on the forums please?
Some truck suggestions of mine:
- DAF 95 XF
- Iveco 190-38 Special (my current truck)
- MAN 2000
- Mercedes Actros MP1 (my personal favourite)
- Renault Magnum Integral
- Scania 4 series
- Volvo FH series I
These "used" trucks were produced between 1983 and 2005; and are done in good quality.
If you opt for default trucks, the Renault Premium may be the one to start with. Not because I want to fool you, but because it's the only not top-of-the-line truck in ETS2.
Best regards,
Jag England
(from Twitch)
Renault.. not happening with squirrel..
+Jairus Sam one time (this actually happend) i saw a renault and i was out with my mates right a red renault comes out of nowhere and i get sick all over my friend and he said u ok i say no i just seen a fucking renault then when it went up the road i felt better XD and we all start laughing
@James O'Brein LOL That's a good one bro.. I say kill all Renault's lol
Squirrel don't like a Renault
Thanks for the feedback. I'll see if I can find some good mods of those trucks :)
11:22
Did you see the sign that says Fart Kontrol? That's danish for speed check.
Its speed check
@@kasperkoll2349 that’s what they said
@@F1Timmy ?
@@kasperkoll2349 as in you said speed check and I was trying to say that the person who wrote the comment already put speed check
@@F1Timmy It was over a year ago. Whats the point of this
Hey squirrel I'm a fan of your truck diaries. I started with American Truck Simulator. My first taste of simulators was 18 wheels of steel American Long Haul. I tried Euro truck and when I was younger I was so confused. Now watching you play is literally a vibe.
I am so happy that you decided to do Euro truck. Keep up the good work buddy : )
Liked and subscribed. I surprisingly found this a really enjoyable video to watch. I always thought I'd find the truck sim games boring but this has actually made me want to go out and buy the game! Love how you talk your way through the video too, kept me entertained and watching. Especially the remarks about the Renault Glass Smash! :D Keep up the videos, thanks for this one. :D.
When I first started playing ETS2 I was 9 or something idk so when I was driving with my €1 steering wheel, I drove really badly. I hit cars, hit signs fences and was driving way to fast. It took me an irl year to get my first truck which was a white MAN with a sleeper cabin and the standard chassis. After some driving I started upgrading my truck and the money that I was making went into the truck, repair costs and fines. After a while I was €-40.000 in debt and I kept receiving e-mails from the bank until the one came that if I did not pay back the money soon they would take my truck. They did. I lost my truck and after that I became more serious, and bought a red DAF XF 105 with a 6x2 chassis and sleeper cabin. I kept that truck for a long time without buying upgrades. Then I got cheat engine and there is where i started buying stuff, game got boring because I had everything already and I deleted my account, created a new one. Few years later I'm 14 I am a Volvo fan and I drive one with my Logitech g920 and the shifter, and I ordered a shifter replacement from America that will arrive in a week or so. I already know how to shift with a 12 speed Volvo gearbox only the range and splitter are on my wheel.
how old are you now?
@@topside-zz7zn 16 prob

Great vid Paul. Lovely to see a new career from the start. BTW, the 01580 dialing code on the trailer is from Kent. Keep up the gret work
Great Paul! I will watch every episode because I've watched the first one + it's snowing today!
Hi Squirrel! So cool that you chose Denmark! I live just south-east of Hirtshals :D Btw; your pronunciation of the Danish cities... Oh dear... Oh dear... xD
11:23 look at the yellow road sign "FART KONTROL" LOL
I always enjoyed your career modes.
Good one there Sir, excellent episode, really enjoyed the skills on display. 😁😁
When you are on a quick job the manager buys the fuel for you - doesn't cost you.
This is true, I thought that too when Paul said it.
Siminatorz Yes but I believe the gas prices come out of the actual pay of the job. (I think)
Talktech They don't.
Okay thanks for correcting me
love your vids squirrel. They relax me. Um, most times xD
5 years?!?! Loving the reruns ☺Crazy how time flies....
Am I the only one who thinks this is very peaceful to watch?
"fuel is very cheap in america"
Little did he know
The way you pronounce the Danish city names is 10/10 :D, i'm Danish btw
We're so honored that the first ever TH-cam video was filmed here!
Your driving makes the trip so nice
I'm pretty sure the glass walls on the bridges are to stop people from throwing rocks onto boats and ferrys beneath and its glass instead of a wall so you can still see through onto the river. At least that's what they are for in AUS were i am living.
Damn...People throw rocks at boats in AUS?
Obito 4Life That and trains, mainly idiot 15 year olds
+Julian Rossi Wow...
We have the same glass panes in Sweden, but they are wind barriers on bridges that are exposed to strong winds.
@@mansnothot9619 Fucked up people are sadly everywhere
My simulator playing hero.
Since you drove this episode, much water has passed under the bridge! I enjoyed the trip with you, and your commentary. I used to drive, and survived about half a million miles in Canada and US. My daughter and her partner have discovered the American driving sim, and my daughter, who has been with me on for a week-long trip in southern US, corrects him, tells him that he can't do certain things... which is really funny! Anyway, here we are, under Covid-coloured skies, and I thank you for a fun journey.
Seeing that you just uploaded the latest episode i thought i would go back to the start. Great video Paul
'nothing coming' - Says Paul when a car flies out Kappa
I am not sure about old truck but I do like the Scania T on the steam workshop. Also, you don't actually pay for the fuel of hire trucks yourself. How do I know? Well, I use to pull into petrol stations for no reason to waste the money of the employer, lol.
I think a trip across the Oresund bridge in ETS2 is like a trip across the Tamar Bridge in real life, time-wise.
hi paul, another great vid. I`m glad to see there is a summer mod.
33:30 dont you dare hit my t...
please do a MAN TGA by Madster as your first truck its a really great truck :)
Here in 2022 and didn't know Seasonal mods were a thing, been playing ETS2 only 7 8 months. Absolutely loving it.
Really nice, love the video, pls make more
Not to be rude or anything, but as a dane myself, I can very much hear that you pronounce Odense and aswell other danish cities wrong, however I truly understand you, because danish is a little weird if I should say so. I've listed a few tips for the pronounciation below, if you should be interested! :)
Odense: O'ense - that way, you can get very close to the way we danes pronounce it nowadays :)
Frederikshavn: Frederiks havn - Pretend there is a space between "Frederik" and "havn" and do not let it be "shavn". It basically means Frederik's harbor.
So far with all the other cities in the game, I must say you're doing a good job with their names! ! ;-)
Keep up the good work!
Cheers :P
what have I have for I can play this game? please can you help me
yeah Reus us Danes have a wierd language ;)
Presumably the havn there comes from the same root as haven in English meaning a place of refuge or safety but you do also see it in place names referring to inlets or bays that form natural harbours as they were places of shelter for ships so you get some port cities named that way in English like Milford Haven etc.
"dont you dare hit my tru-"
Sorry for all the comments, I keep thinking this Sunday Night Trucking. Never seen an ETS career from the very start so I will be following this series and the ATS series.with interest. Cheers for the videos and keep up the good work
Love it mate, so good to see back to basics! Think I might just start a new profile too, getting a little monotonous.
is there any f1 race car hauling mod for ets2 ?
Paul have you heared any news on an ireland expansion for ets2 as i live in Ireland and have wanted a realistic representation of my country
same
Cant wait to get stuck in traffic around Limerick lol
haha we haven't heard anything yet but hopefully they are working on it be nice to see what it would look like
Aren't they busy with the whole scale of American Truck Simulator?
Same here m8 i was shocked when i got this game and ireland was not here we use the fucking euro aswell for fuck sake its ridiculous
King of the roads squirrel, awesome vid
Loved the video. It sent me to sleep but I don't mean that it was boring in any way! :-) There was something soothing about it and it done the trick at 4am, haha. I'll need to catch up on the rest of the series of vids. Thanks for sharing! :-D
1. Scania 2.Volvo 3.Man 4.Daf 5.Mercedes 6.Iveco 7.Renault...... anyone agree?
a little
Sure

How about the Scania 164L? (The yellow DHL one).
I like that truck
Velkovzki_ 14
A fun thing would be if you bought a classic truck as your first truck. It kind off makes it more realistic because you would normally start your company with a old truck like a old scania,daf,mercedes ETC. There are many good moods for old trucks like that. :)
A great old truck that you might like is the Scania Series 1 by Shoofer. I used it and was really pleased with the mod. The only problem I found was the fuel tank! Great video as always Squirrel!
What is happening with SCS's coach simulator?
+Rhys Cutting That's a great shame 😞
I know this is old but i wanna know your control setup
Alien go watch his setup video :)
More Eu Trucking Diaries please 🙏 ❤
Finally, i love this game!
Can someone tell me if u need a steering wheel for it
Do u need a steering wheel for simulators on PS4 can someone plz answer
Well, the ps4 comes with controllers, and ets2 can be done also with a keyboard and a joystick
You can (and I do) use controllers in ETS2, imo it’s the best option under steering wheel
No but for realism it's recommended
@@PreciselyTuned or a keyboard and mouse
Yes I am weird
squirrel what is that map mod plz i would like to know
pro mods
+James Panayides Promods*
Isn't it just the Scandinavia DLC?
no
+amit banai No It's not the scandinavia dlc is just Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
nice vid squirrel!
I love this game. I used to play this game for hours wheni was young. I dont have time now to play this game. But after my exam in may, i will definately download this game and play. But this time in much better laptop
buy a volvo :P
/start with
nah, in ETS2 the preferred truck for Squirrel is Scania (I use to watch his ETS vids when he use to do them all the time)
+James B but he could always try different things
yep i always started with volvo i love them
Scania fuel meter is easier too see
I still remember back in the days mods didnt exist yet and my potato pc could run this game on ultra now i need to put it on high and close all my programs to run 40 fps :(
The funny thing for my pc is its shit but it runs 114fps im like tripping out am i high ive never seen a game over 60fps wat the absolute fuck
+Hugo idk its a dirt pc but runs like a scania R730 no probs at all idk wat i done
+Hugo id even know wat im running i think its called an advance i think but its rubbish but runs sim games on fleek
+Hugo h8 that m8
+Hugo is a nividia GeForce 9600 gs good idk
Yes! I wanted this for a very long time!!!!!!
It would be great to see this series move to the multiplayer mod. I think it'd be interesting to see how you can work with the idiot drivers etc. and it sure would provide some funny videos. Keep it up Paul! :D
Trucking Diaries EUROPE not EU!
EU isn't just an abbreviation for the European Union, it's often used just for Europe - e.g. EU game servers
You're right and that's no doubt what he means but Trucking Diaries 'Europe' would sound better and avoid any confusion.
EU means European Union. It's just that many nations in ETS2 aren't part of the EU
EU it's the abbreviation of Europe too
EU it's the abbreviation of Europe too
"Fuel is so cheep in America." Lol no.
Compared to the UK, yes it is. Current diesel prices in the us is around $2.40 USD per US gallon. That's about £1,80 GBP per US gallon.
Diesel prices in the UK are currently around £4,14 GBP per US gallon. Which is around $5.43 per US gallon.
+Flat4Buggy 2 For someone that lives in America, gas prices are high.
Munchkine26 come and live in the uk then you'll see how expensive it is here
Ours is approx 1000RS. One euro is 76RS. You do the math
Tyler Sluman People in UK get paid more on average than Americans so things are gonna cost more
you dont pay for refuelling when youre driving a company truck, my dude!
refuel all you want, its my fave game mechanic & with the radio on it reminds me of road trips my family took when we were kids!!
Yay Copenhagen! My City ;) Great video man!
for some reason I cant start in swedèn he says he has no mods but anyone else?
It's part of the Scandinavia DLC.
Oh thx
Alfie Jones No problem.
I get Norway and Sweden with the Africa mod (you get Norway, Sweden, Tunis, Morocco, and... uh.. oh yeah algeria
No offense, Paul, but your Scandinavian pronounciasion(?) is very off
I agree, and I say it time and time again that I don't know how to pronounce these names
+Squirrel Just makes me giggle a bit. Im from Bergen
Late, but I've lived in England a while (I'm French), and pretty much everyone I knew that was British had a real hard time pronouncing anything that wasn't English (and yet)...
I know this will be unpopular and I have not tried them, but I have seen some U.S. COE tractors/trucks that look and sound great. I don't do mods, too many games and keeping updated takes so much time. It is all good, I just enjoy watching and listening to your truck videos. All of them have been superlative.
great to see the ETS2 diaries kick-off. May I suggest the Mercedes-Benz NG1632 as "starter" truck. Did some miles on it and personally have not found much (i.e. nothing) wrong with it. Plus it has a 16 speed gearbox which might be cool with the SKRS.
By the way, this might just be an American thing, but diaries are for women and journals are for men
the scania series 1 is a great classic truck. I used it for a while you're definitely in for some fun adventures with that one :)
Those walls on the bridges, we have something similar here in Canada but they are usually made out of fencing material or something that resembles metal blinds, we mainly have those to prevent people from committing suicide by jumping off... but in your case it did seem to be solid plastic or glass so I guess they could also be used against noise.
Nice to see you driving in Denmark Paul.. I live in Odense.. Love your vids, keep up the good work
Not sure how I've only just discovered this channel but I'm glad I did! These videos are oddly therapeutic and the commentary is brilliant :) Keep up the good work fella! Also, are there any garages/locations in this game near my neck of the woods? (Doncaster)
Started watching this to make me not make mistakes in the game
On 22:36 thats a sound barrier. You can see it everywhere in the europe apart from UK
smashing video
