Looks like the new Volvo VNL too.
 
This game will be so chill once it comes to console and the Road Trip DLC releases.
 
Is there a general message thread for ATS. Been playing since summer 2020. I justed purchased most of the add on states from last 12 months or so except Louisiana.

I have not messed around with any mods except for a little while in 2021. I wished they would just include a few classic 70's, 80's and 90's trucks in the game even if add on content.

When you select for next pick-up destination. Wished it would tell you if you have ever picked up from this company or delivered to company. Same with being able to tell if you how been to either town before.

It would also be amazing if they could implement teams drivers where the AI is your team mate and ride along (watch) as AI drives the truck. Same with just maybe being able to watch any of your other company drivers make their run.

Had something interesting happen last week was behind another rig at stop sign on two way road. AI going other way did not have enough room to make his turn on to the two lane road I was on.
After a few real world minuets. The AI truck in fromt of me backed in to my truck before I had time to find reverse and back my truck up. Would not of mattered because there was car behind me. On my current profile try to follow all the driving rules as much as possible.

This basically acts as the general message thread as it is the most recently active one.

As for knowing if you have delivered to/from a town before, I usually use the map on the left and look at the roads needed for the journey - if they have been driven, I must have been to the town before.

I agree it would be helpful to have an indicator telling you when you have delivered for a company before (maybe a tick by the name?)

I don't use many mods, I've just focussed on the "ultimate graphics" mod, vehicle sound mod, a mod adding classic vehicles for more variety on the roads, and a mod that changes the colour of roads travelled so that it is easier to see what I've missed.
 
I have Coast to Coast and a drivable traffic mod (until the Road Trip DLC drops).
 
Anyways great game - with graphics and content being added frequently. Recently got the states added over the last 12 - 18 months except for Louisiana. Was hoping they would add like a Midwest state package deal by now.

South Dakota and North Dakota should be great.
Actually they say South Dakota great state to retire to. I am taking early retirement any time between next 6 to 36 months. Just not sure if I could handle winters in Rapid City. Except guess could stay mostly in doors on snowy/colder months. Catch up on gaming/TV/movies etc. then spend a lot more of spring/summer outdoors.

South Dakota is out on 24th September...
That's right, we got South Dakota before GTA6 :lol:
