American Truck Simulator Free Download - Overview

Game mechanics are based on the highly successful model from Euro Truck Simulator 2 and have been expanded with new features, creating the most captivating game experience from SCS Software.

American Truck Simulator puts you in the seat of a driver for hire entering the local freight market, making you work your way up to become an owner-operator, and go on to create one of the largest transportation companies in the United States.

  • Drive highly detailed truck models officially licensed from iconic truck manufacturers.

  • Your truck is your new home. Make it yours by changing cabins, chassis, paintjobs, adding tuning accessories or more powerful engines.

  • Lots of different cargoes to choose: From food to machinery to hazard cargoes.

  • Multiple types of trailers – from reefers to flatbeds, from dumpers to lowboys and goosenecks.

  • The longest trailers (up to 53 ft) will challenge your skills and patience while hauling and during parking.

  • Deliver your cargoes to a rich variety of companies and locations like refineries, oil storage, gas stations, car factories, or roadworks.

  • Various simulation settings for trucking enthusiasts: Air brake simulation; different types of brakes: retarder, Jake brake, trailer brake; multiple types of transmissions straight from real trucks, brake intensity, and more.

  • Get the feel of being inside a real cabin: Adjust your seat, mirrors and position your head to get the best view of the road.

  • Drive safely, follow the rules and speed limits – police will fine you if you aren't careful!

  • Ensure that you are not delivering overweight cargo – you may be checked at the weigh scales.

  • Use the route adviser as your personal assistant during the travels.

  • Try the life of a truck driver for hire. By delivering the cargoes safely and improving your skills, become the owner of your own, successful company!
