Hello. I am a new member of the ATSMP community. I was thinking about how I could expand my experience, and I have heard Viva Trucking advertised on Truckers.FM quite a few times. I may be interested in joining the company as a new driver, but I have a few questions about VTCs, and Viva Trucking in particular, before I make the jump from independent Owner-Operator to Company Employee.
First of all, how does a VTC work, exactly? From what I can gather, a driver picks up and delivers a load in ETS2 and/or ATS, delivers it in-game and logs it in a company app, so that the delivery becomes a part of the company statistics. Am I correct in saying this? Or is there something I am missing here?
Secondly, are there any requirements for prospective employees? I can assure you that I am older than 15, with a pretty good grasp of English and enough of an understanding of road rules to get by, but I am not sure if there are any other requirements which could trip me up (such as time played).
My third question is about the trucks. Am I given a truck to drive, or do I provide my own? Are there any guidelines as to what kind of truck to use?
Would company business be conducted in singleplayer, multiplayer, or a combination of the two?
Are there certain hours I need to be active on? Or is this a flexible choose-your-own-hours sort of affair (like what Uber does)?
Finally, I have noticed that the trucks in your photos have a custom skin. Will this skin be provided to new employees upon acceptance of application?
Please excuse my many questions, I just want to know exactly what I'd be getting into here. And if this post breaks any forum rules/guidelines, I do apologize. This is my first post in this forum, in a community I only joined a couple of days ago.
