Website / Player Database
About
The Virtual Trucking Association (VTA) brought Virtual Trucking Companies (VTCs) in the TruckersMP community together. It was founded by Cheetah, a well-known voice in the community who was involved in many community projects and groups.
Its main job was maintaining a database of players' TruckersMP ban history and their history across VTCs, so member VTCs could make informed decisions about who they recruited. VTA also offered impartial, third-party conflict management between VTCs, partnership advice and event hosting. It also connected VTCs with trusted community members offering reliable web hosting and development.
VTA was officially partnered with the VTC driver trackers TruckNet and TrucksBook, the media group Motion Media, and Virtual Fleet Systems, a full VTC management system that integrated with TruckNet and TrucksBook.
Challenge
VTA needed a website that explained its services and the benefits of joining to VTCs, and a player database it could trust to hold drivers' ban and VTC history.
Solution
Cheetah brought in DubStepMad and me to build it. Together we built the website and player database in PHP. The site had pages for VTA's benefits, its external services and partners, and a contact page.

Results
We completed the website, but VTA didn't last long enough for it to launch. Shortly before then, VTA announced a merger with another project, ITN. The merger didn't go to plan, and both projects came to an end, just as the site was finished.
Although it never went live, it strengthened my partnership with DubStepMad, and we went on to build Infinite Truckers MP and Asphalt Events together.
