The Chiliad Summit

After a dismal failure the day before, the man that was BORN2TRUCK vowed to reach the summit of Mount Chiliad with a tractor trailer. Eschewing the Linerunner which had failed him, he takes a more powerful cab for his next attempt.

Here he crouches before his Roadtrain, Mount Chiliad can be seen in the background.

The cargo, an open-faced container of coal: the fuel of industry.

The cab and trailer are coupled and the journey begins.



The journey is treacherous and many accidents occur, but the man that is BORN2TRUCK is not deterred and despite many serious setbacks he is resolute in his goal of reaching the summit.

Withering heights can bring on a cruel vertigo that calls to the dark places of the mind. This evil ruse reaches out like a Siren, trying to pull affected truckers to depths of a steep cliff, sundering their tractor trailers on the sharp rocks and outcroppings below.

Treacherous mountain passes in claustrophobia-inducing fog put high stress on truckers. Even experienced drivers can make mistakes when their adrenaline soaked heartbeats are loud enough to drown out the country music blaring from their speakers.

The mountain weather conspires with Aamon to prevent a summit. The sky reddens, hail and rain beat down. Lashing winds whip against the trailer causing it to detach from the cab as blazing strokes of lightning cause shadows to take on hideous deformities as the clouds are ripped apart.

Not even Wrath himself can stop a man who is BORN2TRUCK, the storm subsides and the journey continues upwards, ever upwards.

Success. Another victory, truly he is BORN2TRUCK.

The contemplation of the next goal.

DFT-30

Most trucking fans agree that Cab & Trailer is the highest form of trucking in the world. That being the case, non-articulated trucks are a part of that world and as such, deserve respect, and in some cases, adoration.   Most people know the DFT-30 as the flatbed workhorse of the trucking world. A COE (Cab-Over-Engine) configured, non-articulated truck most commonly seen as a flatbed hauler. Pictured above is a DFT-30 outside of the Camel's Toe Casino. What most people don't know is that the DFT-30 is the undisputed Stunt King of the trucking world. Despite what would seem like a non-aerodynamic appearance, the DFT-30 is an impressive flyer.

COE Adventures

For whatever reason, I always seem to think that COE setups are a little different. I have nothing against them, but whenever I see one, I always have to wonder about what kind of person chooses to drive one ( especially outside of Europe where there are far fewer length restrictions ). Well, the Jobuilt Hauler is the most popular articulated COE format in San Andreas. Here is a beauty driving at sunrise near the coast. On a freeway run. I guess the shorter length can help with treacherous mountain passes. I admit she is good looking in her own way. Like all truckers and all trucks, the man who was born2truck can experience some issues while driving, even in the short-length COE Jobuilt Hauler.
