    nailed it!

    and i just downloaded ATS tonight. im going to have it on my laptop so i can help the new students (and myself if needed) with slow maneuvers. there were some tight spots in that game. specially the farms.

    ATS is better for backing situations as the map is smaller than the Euro Truck Simlafor map. ETS is better for driving as you can spend long hours playing it.

    Youknow,the first time I quit driving and worked pulling forks at Arrow: a Yellow driver would always say to me" You still have your CDL? Mark my words youll be Back In A Truck someday". I thought he was silly,I have this good job at Arrow Material Handling,weekends off 8 to 5 hours ,hour lunch.What you Talkin bout Willis?. Im not going on the road again!. Well,2 years later I got the "itch" you speak of.

    Once I did OTR I could barely stand to be in an office with people any more, especially if multiple people were talking.

    The longer you are away from it the more rosey the memories.
