Get ready to experience the exhilarating world of trucking! Your adventure kicks off with a tailored driving session where you’ll maneuver massive trucks around a set course filled with traffic cones. This isn’t just any vehicle; it’s a chance to command a powerful transport rig and feel what it’s like to be a professional driver.
As you settle into the driver's seat, you’ll be amazed by the spacious and ergonomic cab designed for comfort. Picture yourself standing comfortably inside this giant, with ample storage space for your essentials and a cozy sleeping area right behind you. You'll also find handy features like overhead lockers, a mini fridge, and even a microwave. It’s all about making your journey enjoyable, whether you're on a long haul or just taking a joyride.
The highlight of your experience? The premium, electronically adjustable driver’s seat equipped with air conditioning and vertical dampers ensures you remain comfortable throughout your ride. You might even find yourself dazzled by the impressive dashboard controls as you get accustomed to the truck.
With innovative tools like the EasyStart drive-off assistant, you'll be able to start your journey without a hitch, minimizing stress on the gearbox. Your main task will be to master the circuit, keeping a watchful eye on the various mirrors to navigate flawlessly around the cones. Remember, as the savvy truckers say: ‘Keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down’,safety and fun go hand in hand!
