I recently got the achievement "profit hunter". I think it was to take a job that was over €130,000 and also over 2,200km. That took a while to show up in the freight market and then a couple of hours to complete! I now need to take over 250,000kg in 5 consecutive jobs for my next one - heavy hauling!

Bayonne used to be good for long range jobs, had a couple from there which were up around 3000km. Took a while obeying all the speed limits.
Think it was from somewhere in Poland to somewhere in the south of France. This was on the "vanilla" map, but with all DLC (Going East, Scandi, and France).

even better with a wheel pedals and shifter 
I enjoy his videos but he seems to have it set to easy. When he brakes, he stops pretty much instantly, no matter what he's got on the back.

The Harsh Russian Map for 1.28 by Goba.
Please note this is the free version, has many bugs etc. The only way to obtain the REAL official version that he built himself is via Skype, but you have prove either Ukranian or Russian origin sadly.
I shall test it again, it is the same map as The Bloated Toad and Truckers Map but renamed. Just be prepared for LONG journeys! and low paying jobs.

Last night I tried ETS2 with an Oculus and a Logitech G29 wheel and pedals. Wow, it's pretty mad 
I drove from London to Paris with the biggest smile on my face And then the best thing was when I arrived at the other end to unload - I dipped my head out the window to make sure I was backing in correctly 
It works really well, and it made me think about the future of learning to drive! It took a trip to Paris, but by the time I had arrived in Paris I was driving fairly well

It's pretty hilarious
Reversing into the parking space to deliver the cargo, and looking out the window as you reverse - I guess it's the simple things that blow my tiny little mind

Oh I dunno , I'm not sure backing up a 40+ft trailer is simple virtual or otherwise

I completely agree - It definitely took me a good few attempts
