Side Quests & Activities

Explore the world of American Truck Simulator with our guide to side quests and activities. Learn about quick jobs, skills, garages, and the unique parking mechanics that add depth to your trucking career.

American Truck Simulator offers various activities beyond main deliveries to enhance your trucking experience. These include:

  • Quick Jobs: Start your career by completing short delivery tasks using provided trucks to earn your initial capital. You'll need to earn at least $100,000 before purchasing your first truck.
  • Skills: As you progress and level up, you unlock skills that can improve fuel efficiency, enable long-distance hauling, and grant access to hazardous, fragile, and important deliveries.
  • Garages: Purchase or upgrade garages to store multiple trucks, expanding your fleet and operational capacity.
  • Hiring AI Drivers: Once you have sufficient resources, hire AI drivers from recruitment agencies and assign them trucks from dealerships to increase your company's earnings.
  • Parking Mechanics: A unique feature allows you to choose where to unload cargo at destination depots. You can opt for a 'desired spot' for more experience points (but harder parking) or a 'safe spot' for fewer points and easier parking. Alternatively, you can skip parking altogether, forfeiting all parking experience.
