Homesick in Bari — Truck Sim Diaries

Описание: 2:00 AM. A lonely gas station somewhere in an Italian port. One quiet moment and suddenly you feel it — that pull toward home, the laughter of your kids, the warmth of your wife. But there’s work to do, and the road waits for no one. Welcome back to Truck Sim Diaries, where Euro Truck Simulator 2 becomes the backdrop for whatever’s on my mind: life, routines, frustrations, gratitude, and the small things that make the world bearable.

In this episode, we finish our olive oil haul from Kalamata up to Parma — the last leg of a long Greek–Italian run. Along the way I talk about early mornings, the changing seasons of parenthood, shout out one of my most loyal viewers (Captain Arianas), and dig into questions about EV trucks, Halloween events, and how the real trucking world struggles with rest stops and charging networks.

There’s some real-life stuff too: dentist nightmares and the relief of finding a good one, helping a new electrician in training find his confidence, and why kindness in the workplace still matters. We cruise highways I haven’t seen in ages, enjoy a long stretch in 12th gear, witness a gnarly AI crash, and eventually roll into Parma with… well, more damage than I’d like to admit.

Whether I’m reflecting, ranting, teaching, or just quietly driving, I’m glad you’re here. Thanks for taking the time. Take care of yourselves — you need to last a long time.
