    Do you have other questions regarding ATS? What other tutorials should I make?
    Edit: Yes.... this tutorial was recorded several months ago. There were some issues during production, but all is good now!

    • @AdamsOlympia

      My biggest tip would be put all your points into long distance driving. When that's maxed out, get all the gas/explosives/liquid options, then just-on-time delivery (one point into Fragile/Expensive deliveries until just on time is maxxed) .. Eco driving isn't where the money is, so I save it for when everything else is maxxed.
      The very long tanker deliveries will be where you'll be making big bucks at first -- eventually enough to buy a new truck after each delivery. (my last delivery from Texas to Oregon earned me $230,000) When you buy new truck, send your old one to your garage and hire a driver from the recruiting station to drive it. Don't be afraid to take out a 400-500k loan at bank if you're using it to buy more trucks for your hirelings. They'll be leveling up while you pay it off, which makes you more money in the long run. I also focus my hires on long distance driving at first.

    If SCS is watching, they should give you a cut of the purchase. Because of you and this tutorial, I ended up buying the game. I know ETS is suppose to be the same and I got that game for free. But after playing Taxi Life and did not know anything about driving in Spain I decided to get ATS. Plus to follow your tutorial you need ATS as the starting points and of course the trucks are different. So I spent $57.00 I was not intended to. Keep up the good work and SCS, give this man some money!!

    I totally forgot that parking options existed. I play mostly in VR, so it's more difficult to fiddle with menus and I set it to "Where do you want it" as the automatic default and turned parking options off. I don't really understand why you'd not want to park the trailer yourself, since you don't have these automatic parking options when pulling into a rest area and you'll need to learn how to maneuver anyhow. Sure, some parking lots are large enough that you don't really need much finesse, but many of them are not and you don't always have much of a choice in the matter.

    4:45 when choosing your starting city keep this criteria in mine or the game will move you to where you don't want to go depending on where the tutorial marker wanted you to start. Base Game when you get started your terminal needs to be close to the dealership, you must be near a ramp, your starting city must have a freeway of road connection, and it must have a warehouse no construction sites, farms, plants, or refineries or you will get garbage loads or no loads. Phase 2 Start in Sacramento avoid Redding, Phase 3 Start in Fresno avoid the Bay Area because their dealer is on the other side of town, upcoming Phase 4 Start in Bakersfield avoid LA and San Diego because their dealers are on the other side of town. Nevada Start in Elko or Vegas avoid Reno and do not buy Carson until you are set up they have no dealers yet. Arizona Yuma, Phoenix, or Flagstaff avoid Tucson dealer is south of town. New Mexico Buy Albuquerque and Farmington in Navajoland do not buy Santa Fe, Las Cruces, or Roswell their dealers are in other states and cities. Oregon Buy Salem, Eugene, and Medford do not buy Ontario, Portland, or Bend those towns only have service shops and the dealers are in other cities or across town. Washington avoid completely all except Olympia their service shops are on the other side of town or in another city. Idaho Buy Boise and Twin Avoid Idaho Falls, Coeur d'Alene, and Salmon. Colorado always pick Denver to get you started Aurora is right down the street from your garage via I-70 Colorado Springs, Collins, Montrose, and and Alamosa are right next to their shops. Avoid Lamar, Sterling, and Steamboat. Wyoming buy Cheyenne, Casper, and Gillett Do Not Buy Jackson Hole! and stay out of Evanston like the plague dealer is in Rock Springs for both and Evanston only deals in construction and logistics not a good place to start. Utah Start in Salt Lake there are dealers in Kerns, Provo/Spanish Fork, and in North Ogden buy St. George, Vernal, and Price/Helper they are good places for beginners despite low turnarounds Do Not Buy Moab! Moab only has a service garage and closest dealers are in Selina, Price/Helper and in Junction plus loads are trash. Montana Buy Billings, Missoula, and Helena Stay out of Great Falls and Kalispell and Do Not Buy Miles! Miles has nothing. Texas buy Dallas, San Antonio, Amarillo, El Paso, Houston, Austin, and Corpus avoid small towns they have no dealers. Kansas buy all the major cities avoid the small towns or if the dealer is across town Oklahoma same deal. Nebraska Buy North Platte, Lincoln, and Omaha Do Not Buy Grand Island or Scott. and Arkansas all the garages are with in driving distance of a dealership Do Not Buy Pine Bluff and Stay Out of Little Rock! the dealer is across town.

    • @AdamsOlympia

      Worth it if you buy more than one truck with the 500k and hire some drivers to drive the other 2 trucks. If you just want a truck for yourself, a 100k loan should do the trick for a starter truck -- especially if you save up on a few quick jobs first.

    Maybe a silly question as it concerns the radio, but as a European, these American local radio stations interest me. If you select radio, do you get radio stations from the area you're driving in or will you get a 'fixed' radio station (or even one from the area you live in)?

    Hi. This tutorial is great and I appreciate the time you took to make it. My only problem is that I play with a controller -- Playstation 4 -- so I'm still stuck in that respect. I don't know how to transfer t the keyboard commands you used on the controller. And I'm not a gamer by any means. Do you have any kind of tutorial that addresses that situation. Even if it is for an XBOX controller, I could deal with that. I have had the game since December of 2022 and I gave up. The game thinks I played for 8 hours. I never got out of the parking lot. Thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way.

      Hi. I would recommend either the Freightliner Cascadia, or International LT. As far as I recall, they have the best price tag for getting started (aka... the cheapest lol). However, if you prefer a specific truck model, I would recommend working towards that truck. Although in a virtual setting, it would feel more rewarding to customize, purchase, and drive that particular truck.
