Most of the time you don't have the space to do that . For example deliver double eggs to Zabart food Great Falls anyou'll see for yourself.

Rigwreker, you missed the 1st part of my quote. I said, "The way I do it is I drive the truck wide and when the front hits where you have to back the trailer up to I pull it strait forward as far as I can get it or untill the trailers are strait."
What I mean by this is turn the truck close to the buildings untill you get around to where the trailer needs to be. Then pull strait. If this does not work try pulling at an angle so that the rear of the rear trailer is about where it needs to be like an L shape and turn the truck and first trailer sharp to force the rear trailer into place. Practice in a parking area to learn how the trailers react to your turns.
If all fails, if you turn sharpe enough in reverse the two trailers will separate. I've only done this once. You won't be able to hook to the rear trailer but you will be able to push it in place. I don't reccomend doing it this way but it may result in less damages.

[truckerboy92]

This game is amazing. I love everything about trucking, and this game will keep me occupied untill I get my licence

Too bad it's not that realisitc on money though.

If anyone out there fancies a challenge on this game:

Start a new game in medium
Put your Headquarters in Monterrey, Mexico
Order a new dumper, and haul loads out of the United Mining Co just north of Monterrey up the mountain (Awsome road)

Or, alternatively...

Again, start in medium
Open a headquarters in Montreal, nd haul out of VS Companies.

Good luck all. keep em rollin

P.S. How do you take screenshots?

Long story short, the game by default is setup to allow you to hire a new driver after every third load that you deliver. After you've delivered 3 loads, check the hotels and parking lots for new drivers and one should be there waiting for you. Be sure to have already purchased a truck (once you purchase a truck, you have to wait for 24 hours to allow it to be transported to your company's HQ; get that part squared away before hiring a driver or you'll automatically lose 24 hours-worth of productivity). Also, consider buying a trailer, too, if you're planning on supplying your AI (Artificial Intelligence) drivers with company-purchased trailers (this is not required but your AI driver will earn more $ for each delivery versus hauling the freight in a trailer you don't own). Then, attach the new driver, his truck and trailer (if you purchased one) to a Contract, and let 'em rip! Then, after every third load YOU deliver, you will be in a position to find a new driver and then the cycle repeats. Hope that helps - welcome to the forum, Dnncres!

I hope you've found it by now ... I think if you check at the PARKING LOT in your HQ's city, it will be there. Best of luck!

how do i sign up for companies in 18 wheels of steel american long haul

[kturner12]

yeah i cant get it 2

[dm01]

You have to find a company before you can begin work. Hit F4 (big map), find the button for "Companies", and you'll find 'em. Be careful, because some loads are overweight (avoid scales), some are fragile (don't smash 'em too much), and some are perishable (be quick). If you're still having issues, might I suggest reading the manual?

@dingel, sounds like a DirectX issue, try upgrading to DX10.

Screen Capture is F10

Trucks take an average of twenty-four hours to reach your garage.

I can't drive worth two cents. I take more in police penalties than I make from deliveries, unless I'm hauling oats to Winterpeg (strangely lucrative and cop-free).

I like the radio. I want this game in competitive and co-operative multiplayer, with radio.

[beefers1]

"Winterpeg"? you mean Winnipeg?

I went there during the summer once, it was quite pleasant. Assimiboine park was awesome.

Has anyone tried Euro Truck Simulator yet?

[dm01]

Have you been in the winter? The roads become skating rinks, and your trucks don't have runners.

The physics are very realistic: I was hauling a double of gasoline and the thing exploded when some AIdiot rammed me from behind.

If you find driving difficult, put on the hazard lights. AI won't pass you and the cops will ignore you (for the most part).

[kturner12]

okay thanks but now my voice command does not work

[dm01]

You mean you can't transmit or no one replies? Mobile GRS only has a four-mile range, and you'll find far more truckers out on the highway than in the cities.

Make sure you are pressing V. I know I've made that mistake before

<Esc> => Options => Keyboard +> make sure GRS "voice command" is set to V.
