The player can drive across a depiction of Europe, visiting its cities, picking up a variety of cargos, and delivering them. == Gameplay == [[File:ETSscreenshot.jpg|thumb|left|A LKWLog trailer attached to a ''Swift'' Truck.]] Players choose their starting country, from Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom(V1.2 & V1.3 only). Then players choose their first truck with a budget of β¬100,000. After this, players can start taking jobs from various fictitious companies and delivering cargo to various cities in their starting country to earn money. This money can then be spent on a new truck, upgrading the current truck, expanding the business to other countries and obtaining a license to drive flammables and chemicals. === Fictitious companies === There are many fictitious companies in the game.
