Real Life Economy – Hardcore Business Simulator

Do you want to know what it's like to be a real owner-operator? This mod transforms ATS into a hardcore business simulator with realistic numbers, where every decision comes with a price and consequences. What to expect: • ~$5,000/month (in-game) as an owner-operator, ~$3,000 as a company driver – earn more with skill. • Each hired driver can generate $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 windows – 15 minutes late and your profit is gone. • 10/14 work schedule with mandatory rest periods, following real DOT regulations. • Realistic police – fines match actual US values with tolerance for minor speeding. • Rebalanced traffic – AI drives like real Americans, not like Sunday drivers. • Modernized banking – realistic loan terms, interest rates, and limits. You can't take out new favorable loans until previous ones are paid off. • Used truck dealer – realistic prices and risks. • Garages: Instead of buying a whole garage, you buy a share in garage ownership for $8,000 – just like many small companies do. You get a parking spot and registration without the burden of owning the entire facility. Hardcore warning: This mod is not for casual players. It's for those who want to feel the pressure of real trucking.
