2 1.5 How did i end up as a truck drivers

A lot of people also ask me how can i drive the best truck in the worlds, what requirement did they need to become ones.

I always answer them luck are the one that makes me drive one. But i'll tell you that luck alone wont be enough to make you one.

It was around 5 years ago, 1 years after i graduates from university in west europe. As electrical engineer graduate, i found myself struggling to find a job that match my degree.

Being electrical engineer graduate feels like being a chiken in a chiken farms. There is too much people who have the same skills as me.

I spent 1 year of my life after graduation working part time at a gym while my jobs application getting rejected one after another by company.

Until that time, i see an "Alley Ways" company recruitment on the internet.

"Alley Ways" is known as the biggest international package delivery service company in the worlds after WW3 until now.

I decided to throw away my idealism to get electrical enginers related careers and applied as a local delivery man after seeing the salary a little higher than my part time but has free 3 meals a days and free dormitory living space.

I write every skill that i have in my resume including my chinese language certificate and my black belt jujitsu certificate.

Not long after that they called me for interview.

At the interview after they test my chinese speaking skill, they offer me a 'slighly different' job than the one i originally applied.

They explained that the job are delivering package around the Asia to Europe and africa or a cross-continent delivery drivers.

The salary will be 5 times higher than the job i applied and there will be a free training for me. Hearing those offer, i immediately agree.

Having the offer of 5 times salary higher without worrying about room and food bills to live are something that too good to be passed on in this era.

Long story short, i began my in jobs training in in china.

i spent the first month doing semi-military training and studying every nook and cranny about Tavla E-T series from the application that the company gave me in China.

I am a little bit overwhelmed at first when i hear about the semi-military training that i have to take at first, but it turns out not as bad as i thought. It's still bad though.

Mr. Ming who serves as manager of "Alley Ways" explained to me that the military training is very important because every 'cross-continent' driver will definitely getting attacked by bandit.

I am pretty surprised when i hear him saying that i will definitely facing a bandit.

The thing that i am surprised are not his word 'that i will definitely attacked by bandit' but because how easily Mr. Ming said that.

He said it like facing bandits is very common thing for Alley Ways trucks driver.

Dont get me wrong, i am fully aware about the risk by accepting the offer and how dangerous the 'free lands' that i had to cross with the truck.

i actually kinda like how Mr. Ming phrase it even though i still have some worries about it.

1 month after completing all those semi-military training, the company send me to go to 'Alley Ways' main depot and warehouse in Xianjiang.

It was a very massive flat land with high fence and very thight security in the middle of nowhere.

I am very amazed the first time i went there, maybe anyone would never believes me if i tell them about a very busy warehouse area that are as big as international ports with tight security that existed 3 hours away desolated from even the rural village.

After all the checking and registration are done, they guides me inside the "Alley Ways" Warehouse.

They took me to the truck parking lot with their electric car. It tooks 20 minutes drive to arrive at the parking lot.

The car stopped in front of a huge black trucks that parked alone in that huge parking lot.

There are two guys that standing in front of the truck. One of them are the section chief and the other are Mr.Kim who will becomes my long time partner.

The first impression that i get after seeing a real E-T 2000 trucks are beautifully imposing.

It has black carbon fiber colour covering the entire body and decorated with thin dark red metallic stripes decals that make it looks so galant.

The truck looks completely like a military trucks. A very sturdy looking bumper that are made with hardened dyneema look gallantly protecting it front.

the cabin are also made from the highest grade thick dyneema on the outside as protection.

It's not exaggerating when the company named it "Black Knight".

I remember that time when Mr.Kim guides me inside the truck. The inside are quite spacious with 1 seats in front as a driver seats and 1 seats on the left for the co-driver.

There is more than enough headroom for me who is 186cm tall to stand without lowering my head.

It has a small toilet and bathroom behind the driver seats facing 90 degree to the left from the steering wheel.

Mr.Kim explained shortly about all of the button on the dashboard and said it just exactly looks and have the same functions like in the application and simulator that i studied.

He then walk to the door that are just behind the toilet that lead to a separate rooms and opening it.

He explain that it will be our living quarters. It's a 3 x 3 meters room with stacked bed on the right side of the door and refrigerator and food shelves with electric stove on top near the door entrance.

Reading on the application that i will live in 3x3 meters room on moving truck sound kinda hard for me that time who used to live in 5x4 rooms by myself, but after seeing it myself it wasn't too bad.

The rooms or should i say cabin are pretty basic but have all the necessity that a person needs. Mr.Kim decided that i take the lower bed because i have a taller body.

The same day after Mr.Kim decides where i sleeps, i begin my first jobs with Mr.Kim as my senior and partner.

We traveled to many places, dropping and picking the cargo from "Alley Ways" sub-warehouse from all over the continent.

We experiences bandit attack just 5 days after i started but it was nothing much. All we had to do is run them over. It's feels very wrong the first time i see Mr.Kim did it.

It's sounds cruel to any normal person. i too personally think like that when i still in military training. But in the 'free lands' a lot of cruel things happen daily.

Runing over a bandits groups is just daily occurances for us cargo trucks driver.

Doing a favors for innocent persons is the mindset that we the truck drivers always had when we run them over. it help us to reduce our guilty feeling.

Flattening human and seeing flattened human bodies are something that i experiences a lot in these past 5 years.

This 12 meter long truck with 18 tonnes dry weight when empty and up to 40 tonnes when fully loaded can easily overrun and destroys smaller bandits vehicles that are usually just normal car build with alloy or steel chassis and plastic body.

The torque and horsepower combining with a very thick and strong front bumper of this truck is enough to easily ram any blockade on the roads like tree trunks or vehicle that are usually set up by them.

With This Trucks, you will feel invincibles even on the unsafe places in the worlds.
