Welcome to Weekend Trucker, where real-world trucking meets the virtual world.
My name is Mike, and I'm a professional truck driver based in the UK. During the week, I'm out on the roads for real. On the weekend, I fire up the PC to explore the incredible worlds of Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator.
I bring my real-world expertise into the virtual world, but I also love exploring the possibilities that gaming offers. Here we'll do things in-game that you'd never get away with in real life, adding a unique and fun twist to the game.
What to expect on this channel:
👉 First Look & Mod Reviews: Deep dives into incredible map mods like Project Japan and ProMods.
👉 Real vs. Sim: Using my professional experience to compare game mechanics to real-life trucking.
👉 Relaxing Drives: Scenic, long-haul journeys
👉 Tips & Tricks: From a pro's perspective.
This channel is for anyone who loves the open road. If that sounds like you, subscribe and join the Weekend Trucker convoy!

Well, I'm not sure what to say to YOU! I am completely overwhelmed that this channel has grown to over 800 subscribers so far, mind blowing for me!
To be totally honest, when I started sharing on YouTube I was expecting a hell of a lot less! It's truly humbling knowing you have give up your time to watch the videos however BAD the audio is at times, but I am working on it!
For those that are reading or watching the videos for the first time, thanks. I am Mike or Michael when I have done something wrong!
A full-time trucker in the UK and I try but not always successful, to share my passion for the game. Euro Truck Simulator 2, by combing my real-world Monday to Friday job with the virtual roads of ETS2 and ATS with you all.
This little community of you, me and all the other eyes reading this is for all of us to share problems and our passion for the game and somewhere along the line you might find the answer or a mod that hits the spot. Either way you know the rules, keep it clean and enjoy the game however frustrating it can be with load orders, updates, pc crashes, I know your pain!
Now I am going to be cheeky and ask you 3 questions, It would be nice if you could share your thoughts but I understand not everyone wants the world to know.
1. What's the one truck you just keep coming back to in either game?
2. What's a journey you've taken in-game that you'd love to do in real life?
3. What is your go to Mod, no map mods please.
The reason I ask is to get to know you. Going forward I would like, but not always possible to fine tune my content, in other words get rid of the fluff, not to waste your time and deliver more quality content for the you the viewer, subscriber as part of this You Tube community.
Once again Thank you all or being here and for your incredible support.
Beep Beep,
Mike
