⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ American Truck Simulator Helped Me Pass My CDL Exam! I want to personally thank the developers for creating a game that’s not only fun but surprisingly educational. I’ve been playing American Truck Simulator for over 300 hours, and I can honestly say it played a major role in helping me pass my CDL driving exam. This game taught me how to use my mirrors effectively, how to back up a trailer, and how to maneuver tight turns and curbs — all the kinds of real-world skills you need as a truck driver. The attention to detail, realistic physics, and the immersive experience truly helped train my eyes and mind for what it’s like behind the wheel of a big rig. I also want to give a shoutout to the support team — I recently had a technical issue, and I’ve already reached out because I truly miss playing this game. It’s that meaningful to me. If you’re even remotely interested in trucking or getting your CDL, or if you just want an incredibly satisfying and peaceful simulator experience, this game is worth every penny. Thanks again, SCS Software — this isn’t just a game, it’s a tool that helped me launch a real career. — Alan Recinos

I used this to pass my CDL road test, (I'm using the G923 steering wheel with clutch and the elgato stream deck for dashboard controls + Meta Quest for more realism) this is one of the best games for truck driving that I've ever played hands down, there are some differences with IRL trucks and the trucks here, but it almost feels like 2nd nature when I got out of here and used a real truck for the exam

As a 20+ year veteran OOP Flatbed driver of Long-Haul Trucking, I can honestly say this game is just simply amazing; the level of detail, and correct geography is astounding, and a beautiful product of no doubt many, many, long hours of dedication from it's creators... Due to a serious injury i sustained during an off-load of steel, I am no longer able to do the job I loved, as the damage done ended my career and business.. Although this may be just a game to some, it is much, much, more to me, and others like me who are no longer able to do the career we have dedicated so much of our lives to; as it allows us to continue down those roads and highways we called home for so many years.. With a wanderers spirit always in search of adventure, I truly miss the thrill of not knowing what may lay around the next bend, or curve in the road; all those long nights chasing the sunrise, with the radio and C.B. as your only company. Or the long days of mile after mile of beautiful scenery flying by, roaring towards the setting sun; only to wake-up in a different city or town every morning.. My hat is off to all those of you, from the designers to the modding community, and everyone involved who have dedicated so much of your time to make this game what it is today, and what it will be tomorrow, and in the future; thank you so much for allowing me to continue my adventure!

I purchased this game in 2021 because i always wanted to be a truck driver since i was 6 years old. After over 1000 hours of game play. i decided to get my CDL and do it for real. I just got my CDL a few days ago and now i can do this in real life! After driving real trucks, playing this game is still a blast and it makes you appreciate all the work SCS has done to make this game as realistic as possible. they have done a great job! i have played with an Xbox controller and i have played with a full sim rig with manual transmission clutch and splitter and its honestly fun either way. 10/10 in my book!
