About
Worldwide Trucking Logistics (WTL) VTC was a Virtual Trucking Company for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. It had years of history and several names. It began alongside a partnered radio station as Euro Truck Radio, became Truck Sim Radio (TSR VTC) with the release of American Truck Simulator, and then The Simulator Radio when the radio moved into Farming Simulator.
I joined in June 2016, when it was Truck Sim Radio, starting on the radio side as a presenter. Within a few months I became a radio admin, recruiting and supporting other presenters and managing the timetable. I also joined the VTC's convoy control team and worked my way up through the ranks, from convoy control to Convoy Manager, then VTC Manager, and eventually VTC Owner, one rank below the founder, Crumbs.
When the radio changed ownership and rebranded, its relationship with the VTC broke down and the VTC was pushed aside. In August 2018 the two split, and the VTC became independent as Worldwide Trucking Logistics.
Challenge
The VTC needed a website to introduce the community to new drivers. Our driving examiners and convoy control teams also needed to move off Google Sheets and Docs, which were becoming hard to manage as the VTC grew.
Solution
I built the community website, with about, gallery and contact pages. DubStepMad built the Drivers Hub for our driving examiners and convoy control teams.
The Drivers Hub replaced our spreadsheets and documents, automating as much of the teams' work as possible and giving us much better control over the data and information we collected.

Results
WTL grew into a large, active community. Over the years it welcomed more than 1,200 members, hosted over 300 convoys, and ran charity events that raised £6,555.82 in total.
In March 2019 we made the decision to close WTL. Several staff had stepped back because of real-life commitments, we couldn't find replacements, and I was very busy with work. Rather than let our standards slip and damage the reputation we'd built, we chose to close while the community was still in good shape.
It's where I learned to build websites. The skills I picked up here went into my own website and many of the projects that followed. It also gave me years of experience in community management, event planning and leading teams.
