Do some companies or CDL schools use SIMULATORS to train drivers?

You had to go and bring up piquito. Now I’m gonna cry all over again.

 

Suddenly the truckstop bathrooms don’t seem so bad after all.

 

Maverick had a simulator back in '12...

 

Which Project Cars are you doing? I was a big fan of the first one but PC2 has proven to be kind of a mess w/ it's myriad of adjustments for each wheel controller and then the never ending and often arcane set up adjustments for every car and every track. I know they were trying to make it more realistic but you can really go down the rabbit hole w/ that stuff and number of people have complained some of the cars are just plain undriveable. I know they've had a lot of patches to try and fix some of the issues. Frankly I gave up on it some months back and have been stick to Gran Tourismo Sport and Forza 7. I did finally get a copy of Forza Horizon 4 a few weeks ago but haven't had a chance to dig into yet. Perhaps I'll get to it this weekend if I get my CDL exam studying done!

 

I play ats all the time and from experience in virtual and real life. Ats the trailer moves alot quicker . in real life the trailer is very slow backing up in terms of trying to get it to go left and right. Where as in the game its very quick

 

The best thing about ats is they leave out all the ####ty parts of trucking. Dealing with customers, breakdown, truck stops , logbooks, etc. They just focus on the fun part driving

 

Can you make a driver for your truck? Smelly sweat pants, mismatched flip flops, mustard stain on filthy t shirt, blowing a snot rocket in the sink? That would sell it for me. It's fake truck simulator until it has that lol.

 

LOL YES u can hire a driver. although all they do is run loads for you. i hired some guy named kyrten or some #### , when u hire them it has a picture of them and he was some russian looking idiot with maybe 20 piercings in his face so i bought him a white volvo as justified LOL
