Im a retired truck driver after 42 years ive never seen anything like this im not much into video games ,this is actualy realy cool .

I'm a pilot and really enjoy your flight simulator videos. However, I have also become hooked on all of your other simulators as well. You do a great job. Thanks.

That truck is one of my favorites on the game. But I run it with a screaming Detroit. Very loud engine

That truck is absolutely beautiful...

I lived in Oregon almost my entire life. Moved to Clearwater, Florida a couple years ago. Lived in Bend around 10 years. Whoever programmed this did a fantastic job! Felt like I was back in Bend. Great video!

Yeah I would enjoy if they made it to where you had to scale your loads after picking it ane adjust your tandems or fifth wheel to make sure your weighted correctly, and legal in states you travel in. Always enjoy your videos Jeff, while I'm out trucking in my own truck.

Aw Bend is my hometown!! I miss it :/ I remember walking atop Pilot Butte watching fireworks over three sisters. ATS is great, you have great production quality too love these videos man

Cut my teeth on a 1978 Mack R model, loved that ole truck. I'm 19yrs driving now still in an old bulldog just updated to a 2016 model. Great videos Jeff.

I grew up in a Mack like that hauling coal with my late father. It was a triaxle dump truck. I drove triaxles for 16 years, but never a Mack LOL!!

I drive Highway 97 about 4-5 times a year. I kept seeing all the things on the road that I know, the sim company really did their home work.

Love the old macks, dad had a black an gold one hauling logs and coal when i was younger

Should buy this for my friend who's deep into the trucking industry

Be cool to see border crossings and some Canadian content. My old route was Saskatchewan, to British Columbia, down to Oregon, and Idaho running flatbed usually scrap cars and flat steel

Lol I'm a Central Oregon native and I laughed at how accurate these maps are especially when I saw the state trooper pulling someone over, the cars looked exactly like our state cops here!

I really love your channel Jeff. When you say "wow this is beautiful" to scenery in the game, people will comment "how can it be beautiful it's just a video game" but we all know it's a game. You make your videos so immersive by talking about the scenery, you make it feel like we're just behind the wheel of that semi. Keep up the good work man.

That's my favorite truck of all time. Loved seeing them on the highway when I lived in Alabama as a kid.

Its weird seeing the road signs for Wenatchee and him being In the area that i am from

This is so neat, thank you Jeff. Also if you do a road trip in this game, try a 1990 Ford woddy station wagon, or a 1995 Chevy Lumina? I be interested in see what you think of how those sadans handle in the game? Anyway, have a great week Jeff and looking forward to a new roommates podcast ? Take care, best wishes, Quinn

I would not be happy if it rains on uncovered hay... you could get with a fire to your destination.

I watched the Bristol Motor Speedway night race on Television at home. I enjoyed watching the race last night. Denny Hamlin won the race, Jeff Favignano. Love watching your videos, and keep up the wonderful videos too. By the way, I love the Ferrari 250 GT wheel too. I'm also excited for the new Nascar Heat 4 coming out too.

Nice scenic route, living in Florida my whole life, watching these truck Sims allows me to view the country side if this is accurate. I do enjoy your episodes Jeff. Keep'em coming Pal.

Ah, good to see some more ATS, such a great channel on how you diversify your content, I mean you run probably one of the best gaming channels on KZfaq and you have basically something for everyone.

My goodness, Jeff, I love that Mack! LOVE IT!

I cant wait till they add Montana, my home state and Idaho if they ever do.

I love it how you’re so cautious and careful in trucks.. gets in a police car and throws caution to the wind

Yes!! You listened to me! Thanks for using the r model

Fantastic truck. Great vid. Yes, Washington made the difference when it comes to longhauling in ATS. Did Colville to Tucumcari in 1 shot a while back and that was a looooong trip :)) Utah will make it possible to cut the corner a bit. And i know longhauling in ETS. Did Kazakhstan to the south of France in 1 shot. That was nuts.

If they do the TX map, that will be insane. Takes all day to get through that state.

Damn that thing ain’t geared for highway driving

Holy shit! 8:45 that train has BASF Chemical cargo boxes on it. Im watching this video at work and guess where I work, BASF as a plant operator lmao

Who the hell hauls hay to Bend? That's where you haul hay FROM.

Wow, being from bend and never seeing this game the roads hills and mountains are all where they should be and even the buildings. That's really cool

I like the work on that truck

I really like the idea of really long hauls that you could do in multiple sessions. Just park to sleep, pause the sim, then come back to it when you have time and it's just picking up from when you left off, like it's the next morning or something. Do they have in game music like over the radio? If not, I guess you can always play music outside the sim and that could be a nice addition to the longer runs. I'm also curious about the CB radios in game. Can you talk with co-op buddies or other online truckers? That might be really cool.

I like the old Mack.

I used to live in Bend and they nailed it perfectly all the right bridges and everything so cool

Super jealous of your wheel setup and all the addons you get given for it :D One of the perks of the job I guess haha. I also love the Mack R, It's my truck of choice for my logging company in ATS - it looks SO good in orange and grey pulling a log trailer!

I hope you never stop in the middle of the Interstate in Real Life Jeff.

Ha! I lived in Bend for a few years... I'm actually originally from Portland.

The Mack Truck is a great truck for driving long distance traveling. Great videos Jeff, keep up them coming. :)

2 years later you're floating gears like a pro Jeff. Such a relaxing drive along with your relaxing vibes.

Jeff, as an American trucker there are times when people are so distracted or selfish they won't let you over and you end up missing your exit. In that case I just keep on going and find an exit I can safely turnaround or a find a different route.

I'm one of those subscribers that watches everything. Moto Vlog, XPlane, ATS, LSPDFR... doesn't matter. You create great content that is enjoyable, realistic and hilarious.

Hey Jeff, Jozef here from Canada. Just wanna say didn’t find you’re channel till a few weeks ago but I’m literally almost done you’re episodes from ATS series and I really do enjoy it! I also hoping you will do a play through three the new simulator game called “ Truck Driver “ which I’m sure you will do! But anyways keep pumping these videos out and great job!

Wow this made me really miss playing ATS!

Drove a Mack like this one the detail is outstanding.

God this truck sounds like heaven, if I'm already dead I'm fine as long as I can hear this kinda truck

17:20 - Nice, even has the proper model Explorer and the right livery for WSP. Love those little details in these games, makes all the difference.

I am a retired cdl driver i actually enjoy playing this game,, I have been using this truck with the 905 cat amd 18 speed, i have to admit after driving for a living i leave the damage off, and speed, its a relaxing game to take frustration out on

I used to drive an R model mack. It was cool. Had 2 gear shifts but let me tell you. The heat from the engine came right in to the cab. In the oilfields of west texas it was crazy hot in that truck.

Yeah subbed last year for gta rp content, lost interest but stayed subbed, i watched one of your nascar heat 3 vids yesterdayas i became interested in the game and decided i would watch more of your content again and im pretty sure i found my new favourite series. I was extremely stressed out and idk felt shitty, wanted some slow, stress free content and this was just amazing. Idk why but this was so relaxing to watch and listen to you talk about your weekend and shit. Thanks very much jeff, defo gonna be watching more in the future.

I love you went to my hometown bend oregon, never see an Oregon map on anything

Don’t know how many time we’ve run out of room on our hay wagons and wishing we’d have something like that truck

I wish the turning radius on that truck was that sharp. Truck turns like a cruise ship in real life.

Hi Jeff favignano I'm a big fan and I subscribed and i like the video cuz I like how cool that are

Man that Rim is really sweet looking. Nothing short of the best quality that I've come to expect from Thustmasters. May have to re invest my G27 into a thrustmaster as time and funds become available. Thanks again for another great episode to watch and enjoy Jeff.

V8 truck sounds 😍

Those were real houses you seen in the desert! In fact I would be living in one of those IRL if I chose to be a Whitewater rafting guide this year! I actually know a lot of people who live in that neighborhood.

If/when they add Texas, the game will be 3.4x better. I'd like to see people try to navigate the north texas spaghetti

The crooked river gorge was pretty spot on. Too bad you could not really see Smith rock

Hay is for horses! 🤣🤣

I think this traffic mod is VERY realistic, especially that bit at around 27:00 in. Maybe in ETS they allow you to merge because maybe European drivers are just more willing to do so IRL, but not here in the US.

Can you do an "outlaw trucker" episode where you just haul ass pass weigh stations and just goof around?

If you ever end up on the Outer Banks in North Carolina, you can rent JKUs with no doors from Outer Banks Jeep Rentals and drive up to Corolla. Up there you can drive on the beach and sand trails and there are wild horses as well. Very cool! I used to work at OBJR and loved getting to drive the Jeeps.

a trick for this game my friend, is put on your 4 ways, and edge slightly into their lane. they WILL yield. the software err programming when it senses the 4 ways on the person in that lane backs off

damn that's a really nice setup I don't remember Jeff being this well equipped

I live in Oregon! But I live west of the cascades in gresham, Portland

433 miles per 1 hour? Wow! Mack knows how to make trucks:)

Love this vid. Also working on vids about ATS. Soon going to start publishing the longest hauls across whole US uncovered at the time ofc.

The R Model is probably my favorite other than the B Model

Jeff you should get your cdl in real life

I found out yesterday there is a mod of my favorite truck in this game, the Kenworth K100-E from the TV show, BJ and the Bear. So now I have to get the game. (I was looking for an old Farming Simulator version of the truck when I found it in the Steam Workshop.) I also discovered there is a mod of a truck in the Workshop from Central Oregon Trucking Company which is based in Redmond - 14 miles from Bend. I grew up in Redmond and live in Bend. So now I need to get the game to drive both trucks to/from Bend.

This is so cool, I live near the Mack world headquarters here in Greensboro NC, and they have like a huge museum inside on their separate Volvo trucks North America Headquarters campus, they have a truck like this in the museum in sublime condition, next time you pass by NC come take a look, Honda jets world headquarters is right up the highway by the GSO international airport too. As for Mack/Volvo just look for the giant golden Mack dog lol. You can’t miss it. Or Greensboro, super highways like I-40, I-us29 and I-85 go right through the heart of Greensboro.

if this was Canadian Truck Sim, they would have let you over.

Jeff you should try a run of dual '53 ft. trailers

This video REALLY makes me want a wheel + SKRS shifter setup and a track IR. Looks so much more enjoyable than running with a controller

I love this game. I am hooked on it. Would be cool in VR too

Have you ever thought about live streaming? I do it every once in a while it brings in alot of people. I enjoy your videos . I know you use to be in St.louis. IAM from st.louis too. Thank you for the great content!!!

Just subscribed to your channel last night after seeing your F18 Carrier Landings video. Your talents and technology are amazing...hoping I can learn without asking too many stupid questions. And like Sky King said I too have become hooked. Keep up the great work

Hi it's me again umm I have a truck like this it is on grand truck simulator 2 now I can see that it is real very cool of u doing this for us and I just want to say thank u

i got my cdl on an old mack like this. too bad i lost it. ( i drove team as a diabetic, but was able to drive because of the team arrangement) but the mack was the training truck. no power steering. well we called it the armstrong steering system.

Nobody lets you over IRL, I hope people hear your frustration and think about the real drivers.

Hey Jess maybe one day you could play X-Plane 11 and see what happens when you run out of fuel in the game just as a experiment

Really loving to drive around in Utah after the update! Hyped for the Idaho one!

That truck looks pretty cool.

I really enjoy your ATS vids...keep ‘em coming!

That’s pretty cool shit that Washington is on it

Those turbos where spoiling for that up hill Mack truck sounds amazing nice.

I look at semis differently now! Give them alot more respect.

Pretty close representation of the area so before you pulled into terrabond on the bridge next to highway 97 they use for bungle jumping now

Drove to Bend from Othello, Wa ( just north of Kennewick ) a couple weeks ago. Shaniko is exactly what it looks like. It's a nice drive & Bend is a very nice area.

Awesome truck. Fun to drive for real. I drove a 9 speed. And that part of Washington doesn't rain that much until you go west of elensburg over Snoqualmie pass

I live in Oregon and I can tell you that that Columbia river is in way too small

Thanks Jeff for all the great content! 💯🙏🏾

What do you mean, not using a jake brake Downtown....that's the best place to use it😂

22:42 Always use the breakdown lane. Then force yourself in from there.

floating gears is easy, yeah its hard to feel it, but if you pay attn to the noise and the speed. accelerate until you cease making speed and are just making noise then try doing it.

I drive a 2000 mack ch613 for a living.. And this model is the first I ever drove.. That one was a 3 stick trans..

i kept hassling you my friend to get the k100 , which i saw you already had , my apologies. but this wheel you showed off for which im envious lol. you deserve to make corrections every so often, because most of the time you get it on the first attempt.

Nicest truck he’s done
