Real life economy for ATS – Hardcore Business Simulator

Do you want to know what it’s like to be a real owner-operator? This mod turns ATS into a small business simulator with realistic numbers, where every decision has a price and consequences.

What to expect:

~$5,000/month (in game) as an owner-operator, ~$3,000 as a hired driver. More if you’re skilled. Each hired driver can bring in $1,500+ per month.

295 cargoes rebalanced (including DLCs) — payment depends on fuel consumption, not level.

Realistic fuel prices, air resistance, and consumption.

Tight delivery times — late by 15 minutes, and your profit is gone.

10/14 work schedule with mandatory rest, just like real DOT rules.

Realistic police — fines match real US values, tolerance for small speeding.

Rebalanced traffic — AI drives like real Americans, not like Sunday drivers.

Modernized banking — realistic loan terms, interest rates, and limits. You cannot take new favorable loans until you pay off the previous ones.

Used truck dealer — realistic prices and risks.

Garages:
Instead of buying a full garage, you buy a share in garage ownership for $8,000. This is how many small companies operate — you get a parking spot and registration without the burden of owning the whole facility.

Hardcore warning: This mod is not for casual players. It’s for those who want to feel the pressure of real trucking.

Many aspects of the mod are available as separate mods. You can also find links to non-Steam versions through the mod’s Steam page:
