About

I previously had built a semi truck designed after my grandfather's truck, the Highway General, but looking back I realized that it doesn't give it justice. I also have been watching lots of trucking movies recently, including Smokey and the Bandit. So I chose to completely redo the truck. It features a working fifth wheel system, parking brakes, a horn (unfortunately it's a mod, and it sounds too "electronic", but it's the best I got), lights (sadly a mod as well for the headlights), working grain trailer parts, a detailed interior, and much more!

I also want everyone to remember our truckers. Everyone says to remember our first responders, and emergency personnel, but most forget about truck drivers. Without them, our country/world would fail. They are extremely important, and I ask that you say a prayer for them, and/or thank them, that they will be able to drive safely, and make it home to their families.

You may ask, "Why is it called Country Boy?"

Well, my grandpa's CB handle is "Country Boy". So, as part of the tribute to him, I named my truck after him. FYI, he is still alive, but he is getting old, and he's still truckin'. I love him and his truck, and I really hope to have it one day, and continue his legacy, at least that's what I call it. The real truck is a 1987 Volvo White Integral Sleeper, a very rare truck, and one that get's plenty of compliments at truck stops. He hauls grain for Azalia Elevator in Elizabethtown, Indiana. He has been driving a semi ever since he was 16.

Enjoy the truck Pappy! I love you, and a big 10-4 to you!

    When you start, press AG8, then back up so that the pin on the bottom trailer is in the "slot" on the truck fifth wheel plate. Once it's in, press AG8 again, and if you did it correctly, your trailer is connected @smolensk
