Euro Escort Services and a Trucker’s Troubles
So, I invested heavily in my Scania R 2009 truck, upgrading it for heavy deliveries across Europe. My usual routes were around Germany, Belgium, and Luxembourg, but I wanted bigger payouts. I set my sights on Denmark, aiming for those lucrative 15-17k jobs compared to my average 8-12k. After a week of driving, I finally reached a Danish city near a port, starting with “T,” ready for a major haul.
I selected a high-paying job and started the delivery. Just a short distance outside the city, after navigating a roundabout, the lane change warning suddenly blared. My front escort vehicle slammed on its brakes. I narrowly avoided a collision, maintaining a safe distance of one to two car lengths. The escort remained stationary, hazard lights flashing. I waited, certain I hadn’t made contact.
After several minutes of no movement, I tried troubleshooting. Reloading a previous autosave failed. Restarting the game entirely yielded the same frustrating result: a standstill caused by the front escort. I’m on the verge of abandoning heavy deliveries altogether. I’ve encountered peculiar glitches with them before, but this situation is particularly annoying considering the 200k+ investment in my truck and the week-long journey to Denmark specifically for this job. It feels like all that time and money might be wasted due to this persistent issue.
I’m left wondering if anyone else has experienced this frustrating problem with escort vehicles in Euro Truck Simulator 2 and found a solution. Has anyone else encountered issues with heavy haulage and escort vehicles behaving erratically after lane change warnings? It’s a significant setback, rendering high-paying jobs inaccessible and making my specialized truck investment feel pointless. The frustration of being so close to a big payday, only to be thwarted by a stubborn in-game glitch, is immense.
