Trukz

[MrB]

If like me you have plenty of time on your hands, here's another little game:

Trukz

Yes, that's an online trucking game. I was somewhat doubtful at first however a load of users on Battrick have set up a company called Battruck and it's actually quite fun in a weird kind of way. It's filling a void left by very rare HT logins, Blackout requiring virtually no weekly input and my BT team being completely settled.

 

[Napster]

I'm there. Hello co-worker.

 

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

Completed my first short Trip from London to Glasgow, only picked up $300.

Now on my way to Porto transporting clothing, should get a tidy $1200 if all goes well

 

[MrB]

AS, if you join Battruck you can run company contracts. My next route from Istanbul to Stockholm should net me about $3,000.

Also things to note:
- You can safely go up to 10 FP's. Try not to go beyond.
- You can safely go up to 5mph other the speed limit or weather limit. Probably won't affect you much yet.

First thing to do is save for new tires, these will increase your trucks condition and therefore top speed and mpg. Once you have them, save for a new truck (but sell the tires before you buy the truck).

[Flinty]

wahoo reached hamburg......now resting

 

[Southminster_Shrimper]

Not reached London.....have keeled over at Fatigue level 14....oooops

Your FP's will replenish by 1 on the hour every hour whether you log off or not. Basically you can get away with two logins a day, once in the morning drive till 10 FP, then login again in the evening, drive till 10 FP. The only time you ever waste is when you're stationary on 0 FP.

You can join Battruck by going to View All Companies, order by name, go to page three, click Battruck and join. Full of Battrick players. I've just set off on a contract run from Istanbul to Stockholm which is going to earn me $3,500.

It is somewhat addictive!

 

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

What CB chl you all on?

I am on 19

On my way to Porto with a truck load of cloths...currently just passing La Harve

 

[Flinty]

is it worth buying a CB?

I'm on my way to prague but resting at present....some of the times to deliver are very tight !

I got a CB and a Sat Nav when i started....god knows why

 

[blues_r_best]

Just got to Bordeaux and resting up there with a nice fine red wine I was on level 11

 

[Napster]

sat navs are quite useless.

 

[blues_r_best]

Yeah, but I enjoy watching the little truck get closer to the destination.

 

[MrB]

Quite a little convoy we're getting on there now. I would suggest creating a ShrimperZone company however contract bidding ends at 5:55am and someone would need to be up at that time every day to sort them out! Fortunately Battruck have some dedicated contract staff!

 

[Napster]

I'm up at 5:45am, but I doubt I'd be able to log on etc
