American Truck Simulator (Gaming)

I started trucking over 25 years ago - and quit about 10 years ago. I've driven in 47 states. This game reminds what is was like when I first started. The number of trucks on the road has grown incredibly over the last couple decades. The trucker talk thing would really get on my nerves, never could stand that. Do you have to double clutch, or float gears, or are they automatics?

Does the game have crowded truck stops? Lot lizards? Probably not I would guess, that's more a GTA thing. One thing I always liked (sarcasm) about driving out east was the desperate search for somewhere to pull over and get some sleep. It was bad when I first started, terrible when I quit. I can only imagine how it is now.

There are a few things I miss about trucking, looks like the game captures those types of things. There are of course many more things that I don't miss at all - I'll bet those aren't in the game.
