New ATS Convoy Multiplayer! 

honestly i think they need a ride along, the ability to sit in the passenger seat while another player drives, i think it would be epic

Hey Jeff, I figured I would share my trucking simulator story with you. It's quite long... So buckle up 😆 (I think it is worth the read) My father (64 y/o) and I (21 y/o) run a small trucking company in Nova Scotia Canada, and I just purchased this game for my PC. Boy, don't I wish trucking in the real world was this easy, but in reality it is an extremely hard life filled with ups, downs, and all arounds... With very small margins and extremely high costs (we do about 1m in sales anually and we just barely get by) it is not easy. Trucking has done a lot for me - growing up it was all I knew, they were in my blood from a very young age. Quite frankly, I believe that trucking is one of the most fascinating industries in the world. Where would we be without the trucking industry for just one week? Throughout my life, it has taught me a lot. But above all, trucking has made my father and I best friends. growing up he was rarely around - as he would be working 7 days a week trying to keep a roof over our heads and make everything look like it was fine - but it was far from. When I was born he was running one of the most successful family owned trucking company in eastern Canada, he had it all. Until one day, two of his higher up employees decided to leave to start their own company and cut all of his rates and presented those rates to all of his customers - he lost everything and had to sell to a large trucking company you may know or have seen, Armour Transport. He hit rock bottom and had the government coming after him for over a million dollars (year 2005) - but he had nothing left. We almost lost it all. Our house, cars, my parents marriage almost collapsed, it was a tough time. But he did the unthinkable and found a loop hole in his non compete Claus with the company he sold to which made him able to start up another company (ARJ Logistics) and only do local transportation (the length of the non compete was 10 years) and he ran this company himself for the last 16 years out of pocket, with no money. All he was left with were a few trucks that he was able to keep through it all and found a way to, as we say, "keep on trucking". All by himself, slowly he established a small customer base. Between cold winters where he would work through snowstorms, sickness, paychecks for himself that he couldn't even cash because there was nothing in the business account, etc... On top of all of that - there was no heat in the building he was renting because it was an abandoned trucking building from the 70s as that was all he could afford. Somehow, he was able to push through it all. Thanks to all of the hardwork, sleepless nights, tears and dedication, today we are still here! We made it all the way through with out a single bank loan, new truck, or any help, just the power of hard work, sacrifices and most of all - Family. We are far from out of the woods, but we now have 5 full size sleeper semis (one of which being an 05 Peterbilt 379 long nose as seen in my profile picture) 4 - 5 ton straight trucks and 10 employees. I am so proud of what he has been able to accomplish. With all of that being said... The craziest part about it all, he's never even driven a semi truck! He has run the business with his knowledge of the industry. But, it has always been a dream of his to get his license and hit the open road. Being 64, there is no way he can get it now... So that dream is over - but this game has given him a really small taste again. He sits and watches me play it after work, asking me how to do things in the game and I'm slowly teaching him how to figure it out for himself so that he can play it as well. I plan to buy the whole steering wheel setup with pedals, just so that he can get that small taste of what it would be like if he had of gotten his license. He absolutely loves it. He's the most incredible man in the world, and I really hope I can make this company successful and one day get my license and travel all over with him by my side. But for now, this game and work 7 days a week is the next best thing... Thank you so much for the awesome content. I figured I would share a nice long winded story to add to your cup of coffee on this great Friday morning! Kindest Regards, Ashton, ARJ Logistics

Okay, with a.i. traffic, I might just give multiplayer another try.

As a trucker, some trucks have the brake lights actived when using the jake brake but most trucks don't

Come on join our convoy rocking through the night we gotta keep this trucking convoy across the USA convoy

Love the ATS Multiplayer....looks so cool.....Cascadia is one good looking truck!!! Hope Alex's mum gets well soon and everything goes well....wishing him and his family all the best xxx

Sitting in my truck right now watching this. I think it’s awesome that you guys actually enjoy these type of games. Because I can vouch for how awesome it actually is in real life.

Dude, that music is an ENTIRE MOOD! It fits so perfectly and vibes so good!

Man, I really hope they allow for custom servers with mods and such, having custom trucks and trailers, real companies, JazzyCat's traffic would be incredible! Even just workshop mods support would be great.

Yes on the newer trucks the brake lights come on with the exhaust brake. Any questions about trucking feel free to ask. Ive been driving semis for 11 years now. Keep up the great content guys!

My favorite thing is to boot up Jeff's ATS videos, and get my own ATS trip going. I think we have all felt lonely during the pandemic; so it feels like I'm playing with my old pals. So, Jeff; thanks for being a friend.

Lol the dedication to this game that some people have is just funny to me, like the actual radio, that's amazing

44:35 was waiting for Sarge to get on the radio and give the okay to TAKE EM OUT!

Would definitely like to see more of these. And you guys can help each other out while backing, thats the best part of multiplayer....

i was waiting for this. Yes Yes Yes. As soon as I knew there was a Multiplayer waiting for this..Lots of Love

This is AWESOME! Can't wait to hit this up with my friends. TRAFFIC and SHARED JOBS! Thank you SCS

Yall kickin butt and all that trucking brings back so many memories of when I was a youngin

1:31:53 oh damn... I’m so sorry Alex I hope everything goes well man ❤️

I can just see you guys creating characters on here like in Snowrunner 😂 Man I'm loving the content.

Watching this in my 2021 cascadia that had 32 miles on it this morning. Interior is pretty accurate.

I'm ready to have this on in the background for when I go trucking next.

If your reading this. You are loved. Dont ever give up at anything and have an amazing rest of your 2021.

This is the best crew ever. You all are awesome

I was waiting for this one to drop oooooweeeee 🔥🔥

Amazing convoy with 3 amazing guys on youtube

More of these jeff. The trucker in me loves this!

It's so neat watching u drive trucks while in my sleeper.....I think I'm obsessed. I wanna get a setup like yours so I can practice backing

This is badass, I want to see more

Totally agree Jeff with the taking loads separately instead of driving through each other.

Freaking awesome dude. BTW. Love the content jeff keep up the great work.

Love the intro song made me cry lol 😝 THANKS JEFF

Wishing Alex’s mother nothing about the best...wishing his family for a good recovery. 🥰🦾

Maan jeff this vid was definitely needed today. Thanx alot your vids help stress & anxiety. This simulator is freakin impressive tho

LOVE THESE VIDEOS OF YOURS. SO COOL

Awesome concept!

Good job especially Alex and yourself Jeff

I cant wait until this is available really looking forward to it.

I've been getting into these streams lately and they're awesome and relaxing! Are you planning on doing some more theHunter Call of the Wild or some Stormworks anytime soon, Jeff?

Honestly I'm a Peterbilt fan myself but I will say that those trucks do look great,keep up the good work Jeff, enjoying your content

Sad I didn't sub to this channel, but just did. Enjoyed the stream Jeff. Enjoy your Night!

SCS really surprises everyone with this multiplayer mode

sooo cool. already getting it

Real trucker here. The cascadia does not put on the brake lights with the retarder. The only one that does that I've drove is the newer Peterbilts. Also mic check on the cb would be "breaker one nine for a radio check." And if you sounded alright I'd say something like "check is in the mail driver." Hope this helps with your RP in the future!

The CB Mic is fricking AWESOME!!

Yes! I was hoping you'd jump on this

Oh ma gosh! The CB Radio feature makes Alex's voice sound badass!

Looks so dam kool..here im still playing the demo..geese

I love how if you use the CB in a tunnel it will turn to static.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who hates the faze in and out of each other part of truckersmp as well lol

This is what I've been waiting for! A Multiplayer with A.I. traffic. TMP is alright but (in my opinion) would make it cool would be if there was A.I. traffic as well, and yes i know it was made by modders. But glad to see SCS finally coming with an official Multiplayer. They waited long enough,

Gotta love truckin😍

I have fond memories playing hard truck sim on windows 98 as a kid lol

I hope Alex's mother's operation went well. Wish him and his family the best.

Love your stuff

Please please PLEASE let this mean some crazy ATS MP vids will hit the main channel soon.

I was waiting for you to post something on Convoy

You know if AI Traffic collisions were common that would be amazing because they solved that mini collision really quickly surprisingly

Heads up: Newer truck can have the brake lights come on with the jake, feature can be turned on and off in the trucks ecm. We don’t say “over”. And the term “Steering wheel holder” is an insult that we sling at those who are not what we consider to be a real truck driver. Not criticizing, just informing. Love the show!

Yeah on my 2020 cascadia when you use the engine/Jake the tail lights don’t come on but on the KW T680 they do. Also to say thank you with the trailer lights on the real truck the right multi switch on steering wheel the top button is the button, park lights would have to be on for it to be seen usually during the day I use my hazards

Nice vid jeff!!

Love the video

Hey guys, some trucks do, off the top of my head a kw t680 will kick on the break lights with the use of the engine brake

nice song in the intro

Let's goooo Jeff!!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

On that last docking area. If you played ets you would have made it because here in europe we drive coe ( cab over engine) . Yes i'm a trucker in the Netherlands. And it's still awesome to do,😁👌

Just an fyi when we use Jake breaks they do put on the break lights irl

The predator sound is the lane keep assist

I can see an ATS-PD happening and it'd be awesome lol

Missing side skirt yeah that’s normal for swift drivers. Also we need a marker light button and and light flash button for signaling other drivers.

Yea Alex, he parked it like a Pro at Walbert too!

I'm ready to eat my bagels and coffee cake and enjoy the video !

Can't wait for move videos

I’m a truck driver it’s interesting to see gamers understanding some of the implications

Newer trucks do activate the brake lights under jakes. You can have it programmed that way. Also some jakes cut out at 30mph. Know from my cascadia.

Me being a OTR Truck driver, Yes newer trailers brake lights work with the jakes & Yes California 55 mph is ridiculous.

can't go out without that purdy skurdy

Ats Multiplayer?! Heck yeah I'm in! Make the game very interesting with real players!

Lol the load pick up lol , should have tried a 90 degree spin and set up on sight side , I deal with that all the time in RL driving .

nice keep it up

That's awesome wish my Cascadia did 75-80 damn thing is governed at 65 on the pedal 68 on the cruise.......

Hey Jeff great channel 👍

Alex and your other homie is dope af

I hope they make it to where you can have mods on if you want and when you don't want

looks like when i drive at night ith my 20% front screen tint at night with high beams lol... looks good tbh have not played ATS in about a year or 2

Have fun guys

Amt us missing one thing... A 1977 Pontiac firebird in black with a gold Fireturkey on the hood and gold pinstripes !

Keeping Alex's mom in our thoughts and prayers

Nice

Wow , your video is cso cool

Jeff-*honks horn for every subscription* Alex- why tf is he honking every 5 min

In Europe most of the trailers have bright backin up lights..

now im just wandering when its come to the actual game and out of beta testing

Your brake light does actually come on when you use your Jake brake, with newer trucks. Older ones don’t or have a kill switch. Source: am a driver 😂

When jake brakes are on the brakes lights does come on in real trucks. Just letting you know Jeff

actually a lot of locals use backup beepers or car alarms

This looks awesome!! question..... can you use your own truck with this? and does it matter how many people you have?

Good video jeff

Don't know if anyone answered on the Jake breaking engagement or brake light, yes the real truck will do that if the company selects it in the options menu .

IDK why that train horn at the receiver was so funny to me.

Go ahead Alex with the Roger beep!
