More cargoes for Oklahoma industries!

(SCS Twitter post with video)

Ha! They did skip one day!
More different cargoes are always good! Starting from small air conditioners and transformers (in addition to big ones, which we already have), and ending with these small cute boom lifts. Also, I like how the school bus dimensions fit to the stepdeck trailer — they definitely were designed for using together.

Hmm... this «boom lift»... sounds like an another word for a «rocket jump» from classic shooters: BOOM, and you have been lifted to some secret room with floating cartoony crates or cartoony medkits.[/spoiler]

Someone at SCS went mad posting blog posts all week. This is more great news!

^ Thank you!

Good info to know.  They are hauling tail!  Working real hard.

I know this image is nothing special, but for some reason I just liked it and wanted to share it.  I liked the clouds and how mundane this photo is.  Maybe someone here will like it too.   Snapped this while driving... somehwere.  lol.

I think it's because it's a relatable image (if within America).  I think nearly everyone has experienced just looking out a window and seeing a view similar to this.  I know I have.  It feels 'real' or something like that.

  Thank you so much!

Haha, I like the photo Grape.    It seems like a real picture.  I mean it is a real picture... but I mean... well... ugh.  I'm saying your photo looks like nostalgia a bit.

I like it Grape.   It's amazing how you can take realistic shots in the game and even get artistic!  It's so much fun to snap pics.  I spend hours doing it.

Grapefoot’s picture feels very real even despite too bright road signs .
I remember how one Belarussian magazine have put one ETS screenshot with DAF 2021 along with dozen official DAF promo pictures in their article. Was it a stealth nod to ETS fans from another fan working in that magazine?

^ Lol!  Nice job magazine.

This is it.  Also the lighting is pretty neat. The sun is behind us in the shot.  The contrast of the dark clouds with the sunshine, very nice.

Nice photo, Grape! Makes me wanna stop and get a cold beverage.

Nice photo, Grape! Makes me wanna stop and get a cold beverage.

I'll get some beef jerky and maybe a hot dog to go with a ice cold lemonade.

To drive into Arkansas before the AR DLC would be pretty wild.

That happened with the Oregon DLC.  To get to Ontario from Jordan Valley, there was a road that went into Idaho for a short bit before coming back into Oregon.  This was before the Idaho DLC.

Exactly right.  It would be very interesting if we get to drive into the city on both states sides.  Reading into the city's history, the historic downtown is really struggling with abandonment while the outer suburbs are doing just fine.  Worth an exploration on Google Street View.

THIS image I am sharing to you is looking towards the town post office.  This street is split.  One side is Texas, the other side is Arkansas and it divide the post office perfectly in the middle.  Worth a look on Google Maps.
