Short but scenic trip with Freyja, hauling 51 tons of concrete beams from Sundsvall, Sweden to Vaasa, Finland. I don't know why I thought the truck would struggle a bit with 51 tons, but of course, it didn't 😂💪 #CruisingNordicHorizons #EuroTruckSimulator2 #ETS2

Back to #CruisingNordicHorizons last night! Freyja hauled 22 tons of LPG from Oslo, Norway to Sundsvall, Sweden. Not the most breathtaking drive, but lovely nonetheless! 😍 (After using the 770S V8 for a while, I traded it for a 580S Super, which fits me a bit better) #EuroTruckSimulator2 #ETS2
