American Truck Simulator Hard Economy Mod

American Truck Simulator Hard-Economy Mod by Saxe
(runs on version 1.36 & 1.37)

This is a “relatively realistic” Economy Mod.
The prices per mile are much lower than in the original game!
It is recommended to start a new game with this mod.

the most important changes:
– getting into debt is easy – but watch out for the daily costs!
(after the first job you can already take out a loan of 500. 000 $)
– the XP value is 25% (employees get 50% XP) – new drivers cost 5000 $
– employees cost 10 $ per delivery and 0,24 $ per driven mile (0,15 $ per km)
(Attention: the profit is very low in the beginning)
– the damage to the truck (tire wear) is slowed down a lot
– already the second truck can be bought online
– Necessary average speed reduced from 38,5 mi/h (62 km/h) to 31 mi/h (50 km/h)
– Punishments:
100 $ car crash
50 $ avoid sleeping
75 $ wrong way
75 $ speeding
25 $ no lights during night
75 $ red lights
100 $ avoid weighing

  3. Well done Saxe, this mod is what the game needed Most of any mod in the game. I love the game for its driving aspect and realism. Without this mod, it was ridiculous to earn $65000 and more for a single transport job. Businesses would be bankrupt if they paid Freight charges this ridiculous. I truly love this mod and it was well worth starting over Just for this mod alone. Please try to keep it updated with future patches if you can – Thank you for your contribution to making this game Great.
