Whats the best steps for me to get started? Ive got a office in Dover, only done a few runs so far.
Get a loan, a truck and a driver? or save up and buy it outright?
Suggestions please!
I drove for other people, saved money, put all skill points on long distance (eco driving doesn't matter if you're driving for others) and then buy a garage and go from there. I didn't buy my own truck until I had two full garaged and 10 drivers.Get a loan, a truck and a driver? or save up and buy it outright?

I drove for other people until i could afford my first truck, Put my Skill points onto the hazardous & fragile loads. set the jobs filter to highest paid per mile. Saved a bit of a slush fund, then borrowed the $400,000 to buy a second garage and a pair of trucks and drivers. paid it off ASAP and borrowed more.
Do you earn that much more driving your own kit?? Currently earning about 10-13k per trip driving other peoples trucks, if it's lots more I might keep the next truck I buy.About to get on the ferry in Calais:
Tight fit!
Coming out of the ferry, nice views of the cliffs:
I did the opposite to everybody, got my own truck as soon as possible, spend as much money as I could doing it up, but I now have a couple of drivers working for me in basic trucks. For me it's all about driving a cool truck around, as long as I break even I'm happy!

Is it possible to use a PS3 controller using the USB lead, and if so how do I do it?
Yes , you need to download a small program called DS3 tool. This will then let your pc recognise your ps3 controller. If you purchase a bluetooth dongle(got mine for about £5 delivered) you can play wirelessly as well.http://www.motioninjoy.com/download
Click the above link to download the program I'm talking about.

Well, I throughly enjoyed last night. Started afresh from the demo ones, did some nice long distance driving, saved up 100k, then went and got the most economical truck I could, not the fastest, and employed a driver. Took a 100k loan out to get the garage sorted, now its saving harder to get to level 10, so I can get a big daddy Scania. Then ill be happy, and employ some more drivers. In profit already!
