Euro Truck Simulator - Farming Simulator or Rig and Roll?

I have to tell you - while they sound like a good experience if you want

to become familiar with either trucking or farming when you already have

had too much of them you simply can't stand a game of virtualizing

something you left because you already had reached the point of no return.

I left the rural life and moved to the city when I could so no more farming!

and I lived to stress filled life of a trucking dispatcher for too many years

so no I don't want to play a video game that will duplicate that feeling:shock:

While this is in Europe my experience was trucking and railroads across

North America but also air and marine shipping containers to anywhere

in the world including Kuwait and Iraq during the Gulf Wars.

I went to Kuwait to load and and offload a couple of times.

I also took care of inspecting the nuclear waste shipments for a

couple of years and I can assure you the Air Force was not lax in safety.

we used three of those triple strength Hefty bags and TWO twisty ties

to insure there was no radioactive leakage :roll:

For those who don't appreciate a joke:

(truth of the matter you would not believe how thick the steel was

on those containtaners - and I went over them with a geiger counter

many times - one shipment of only one tractor trailer would take me

and the crew 16 hour day to inspect andcomplete the paperwork)
