5 years later and this video is still the best guide on EARNING money in ATS. Not like all these other videos that say earning, and then install a mod or hack game files. Thanks mate 👍👍👍
It's true, don't think about business loans like personal loans. You should be wary of personal loans where you're taking out money for some vanity objects that won't really make you money. In business however, you're basically using that money to expedite your cash flow so it's worth taking those loans out and using that money to make more money.
I have a different technique on how I make money. The first garage upgrade and my first truck, I actually earned moving frac tanks and doing heavy haul runs for other virtual companies. Some of the jobs pay $40-50k per, so you can jump up relatively quickly. Then, once I have my own truck and 4 other drivers, I just keep driving the company trucks. (No cost of fuel, damages to the truck, etc.) I also turned off traffic tickets. Once you get past a certain point for revenue, you're going to generate enough to make the business run self-sufficiently; so then I just drive around the map and unlock things like the recruiters. This way I can hire more skilled and higher value drivers, which make me more money with more lucrative loads. Lather, rinse and repeat, and you'll have a pretty healthy fleet in no time.
Thanks, this helped me get millions of dollars per minute. I used a tiny little different method though. I bought a bunch of trucks and put it in all different garages in the game, and then I went to recruit some people so that they don't leave me in 3 days.
Excellent video! I did just as you did on the game before I saw your video but now that I have my 1st Shop fully upgraded, I didn't have the money for my last truck I needed so I gave my truck to one of my hires and I'm just gonna do large quick jobs to collect money and pay off loans and buy the truck that I need for the last guy so I can have my truck back.
I never got a loan. I felt that it was a waste. Having to pay such a high interest rate seemed like it was taking my hard earned money. Sure it took me longer to even get my first truck and employees but i'm happy with my decision. :P
It is all about borrowing money to make more money. It is like if you are paying $50 interest per day for a loan while making $200 profit out from the extra working capital, you are basically making $150 profit per day by making that one single decision of taking out a loan in game. The difference between this simulator and real life is that it is a risk-free business. There is no way for you to lose money in game by taking out a loan. But you are right, we have a different approach to a game. It is what makes us happy that matters.
You have to evaluate the Opportunity Cost of both choices. Not making use of the bank’s money means that you are losing income. Debt is a risk unless you learn to use it as a tool to grow.
Take a loan as soon as possible. Assuming one drives as safely as possible, the only expense one will have is fuel. With nothing else to pay for, one generally can make the daily payment doing only one trip per real day. Who in their right gaming mind wouldn't play for more than on in game day. One hour of game play is equal to only three minutes of real time. But it only counts when on is not in a menu or pause. Beginner's should start by turning off or unchecking the fines, detour's, event's, and fatigue. All of which when one is new, will cause you to be late, which means you don't get paid. And or cost you money, you'll invest a lot of time and effort trying to make.
Some great tips. Thx.....I just started as well and drove high value loads for short time till bank gave me $400k. I used it to buy a truck to haul more heavy loads, plain 389 Pete daycab but upgraded to 430hp, 13speed, and 6x4 chassis to test. It pulled good so bought 2nd shop in new competitive location and hired more drivers with same truck config......I also got an overdraft message but think it happens when cash in hand is too low to pay the daily payments....1 good load solves it.....I think. Cheers
i played until lvl 22 or 23, only quick jobs, earned about 1 mil plus 70k for fines. but i regret now because the trips that i do usually ranging from 1300-2000+ miles and that's no fun driving for too long. it's all because of Cascadia 72" RR. locked behind level 25, i have to level up.
You are almost there! Have you tried external contract? Also try to take on high value etc with xp bonus. Manual parking too. Enjoy the journey. You will get there 😀
Also. When you play external contract, your progress is being recorded at World of Trucks website. It is very satisfying. And there are events from time to time that requires external contract game play. It rewards free cosmetic items and can be sold at Steam if you want to.
I know a few business owners and wealthy individuals, and this is how they make money in real life essentially. They are all super aggressive with using loans and borrowed moneys as working capital to make money, and as they pay off debt they acquire more so they can repeat the cycle. The one guys philosophy is literally, “why would I use my own money to make money when I can use somebody else’s?”
Hey Wilfrid Wong! Just wanted to say how freaking awesome you are for making videos on this simulator! I just recently started actually today is the day I have done so. I watched almost all of your videos on this. I did have a question for you though. Do you think they will continue to expand and move online like Euro Truck Simulator? Also once again thanks for all the tips. I was skittish about the loans and you are right. Most of my trips make me anywhere from 13k-20k a day so paying it back is easy. Also working on my garage only got 2 trucks right now been playing for 6 hours haha. Well cheers my kind sir hope you reply plus also. You got a sub my good man!
Hello fellow trucker! Indeed, they have plans to continue releasing new US States as DLC. Because of long term commitment, they are currently rescaling the Nevada, California and Arizona maps to be on par with the Euro version. Because that is the only sustainable way to move it forward. When they first made American version, they were not sure if this would be well received or not.
Awesome thanks for the heads up on that information! I have now pressed my business much much further. Currently own two garages so now I can just free roam everywhere still make the money. I plan to upgrade all the trucks to max of course!
Just so you know. You can't fail at this game if you play any part. You don't need a Truck, you can hire out and drive their Truck. You have no rent, no car and you don't need any food. You just need to play normal, not drive over the cliff, and you'll make money. (I may have to go trying driving off a cliff or into the Grand Canyon.)
@@WilfridWong I found the drop neck's make all the money. But I haven't played since the 1st few States. Now that they're half way across the US, I started playing a few days ago.
Great video. Thanks, but I think I have to watch it 2 o 3 times more to fully understand it hehehe. I'm starting with the game. I recent got the 400,000 loan, upgrade my garage, bought 2 more trucks and hire 2 drivers, but I don't know if I have to control the jobs for my drivers, and how the money of their jobs go to my account.
Thanks for the comment. You can't directly control their jobs. But as you level them up, they will be able to take on more high value jobs. In the end, I think it is all just simulated. All profits go to your account!
I don't take out loans. I don't hire people. I don't have multiple garages and vehicles. The money I save I use to pimp the truck and the person I do care about. This means that I make less money and accure less stress on things I don't care about. So I get there slightly slower but when I do get there I don't owe anyone anything. I did it all myself and I feel better then you. I don't worry about what anyone else is doing or how fast they got there. Its a driving game. The destination isn't important. Its the journey. If your journey is not driving and just looking at menus then thats awesome. Do you.
To each his or her own. It is a risk free approach to expand your trucking company in this game. What stress are you referring to when the game doesn't penalise you with unforeseeable events? You do realize that you don't owe anyone anything. This is just a game. You own the game and you are the boss :) Chill.
Reckon it's due to my age (73) and having what I found out is "DUMB THUMB'S"; But it took me some 200 hour's to get a grip on the learning curve envolved in this game. To be fair, it only took about half of that, for the actual game, the other half is in setting up an xbox controller for someone who left thumb isn't only dumb, but a complete idiot. Adjusting the steering senistivity and turning radius for driving in the city, caused issue's when driving on the highway. I eventually found a happy place between them and taking a the stick of another controller as long as the one on my controller, super glue it to the top of mine. I can now drive using the same exact setting's in the city or highway. Trying to play as realistic as possible is impossible with the various algorithium the NPC use to get around. Thus in addition to installing those realistic and quality of life mods, I've come accross. Have taken to installing what would be considered a couple of cheat's. But in reality, because I can not controll the NPC's. They are actually quality of game play mods. If it exist, I've yet to find it; But I'm looking for a mod that just as one of the fuel mod's do, make's the economy more realistic. The vanila driver pay is totally unrealistic, and the the choice is to mod with one that is even considerably higher to the N-th degree or one that is considerably lower to the N-th degree. There doesn't seem to be a middle ground.
It might seem counterintuitive but you should take out your loan in the smallest amount. And pay it back as soon as you can. That way if you have like 400k borrowed you can pay it off way sooner. The reason why is because you don’t have to save the full 350-400 k to pay the loan off.
But a larger loan also yields much better return. Since it is a risk free business in this game, it is okay to have the loan borrowed to the max all the time, until you have so much cash that the loan no longer make sense.
Wilfrid Wong sure I’m not saying it’s wrong or risky to take out the biggest loans. I’m just saying the cash flow will be better. If you can widdle the loan down after every load.
what are you talking about ? it shows the interest rate and how much you pay back daily there on the list and it sure is not 28 dollars a day it says right there on your list 400,000 left to pay 12% 5788 PER DAY so divide that by 4 if its 100k its around 1500 a day so if your making 5000 on a quick job thats nothing, no way is it 28 dollars for anything
Watched this in December but i had know how because u had been doing it on a bootleg ETS 2, but because i bought it on steam i watched this now i have 380 drivers and about 88 garages 410 trucks Daily profit about 3 million Profit last 7 days 23 million 😂 Its no longer worth to buy DCL maps to expand west.
Hi, I'm new to your channel I play this game too, I enjoy allot, I earn a total of $419,571 and I level 7 and my rank is Enthusiast , why I have a lot of in-game money cuz I use the in-game bank loan offers I use it and I boost my in-game salary and skills perks more you upgrade more money you earn and I always choose the longest distance and, that's the only way to make tons of in-game money that's how i earn money in game :) The longer it gets the better it gets , bigger payout ,more fun and more challenging .
I know I'm late, and I found this very helpful. I'm kind of at that awkward stage where I bought my own truck with a loan and I had 60k left over. I've done some jobs and have about 80k now. But I don't know what the next step is. Do I upgrade the truck? Buy my own trailer? Buy a new garage/upgrade it? Just any tips would help to be honest lol.
Never late at all! Take the maximum amount of loan you can. Keep buying garages and hire drivers and buy trucks. You can buy the cheapest truck and later on, as you upgrade your own truck, you can pass them down to your driver. Keep borrowing money. Before you know it, you are so loaded that money will no longer be an issue. Best of luck!
External contracts are contracted handed out online. There are certain rules such as you are not allowed to load a saved file that is not the most recent one autosaved by the game regularly. And they put a hard limit on speed. It is fun because it is more like real life. You truck as the time passes without the ability to going back in time and undo certain things. Also, the are regular online events that reward free cosmetic items. Enjoy!
Hey; Wilfrid. Can you make a tutorial on the ATS - Interior Driver Skin Making. There's one out but; it doesn't go into depth like you do in your tutorials. thanks
the easiest way to pay back a loan is to take the loan in 10k or 50k amounts which is the smallest amounts you can take loan of and 10 and 50k is easiest to pay back the amount you take loan off is the amount you have to pay back, it will deduct a certain amount daily but if you want to pay the whole amount back in one hit it is easier to pay 10 or 50k and not hundreds, you have no idea about loans
Risk free. Just take the most and build up your company. Only redeem your loan when you no longer require it. Paying interest is nothing compared to the money that you and your company earns. This would not work in real life because real life carries risks. Trust me. I know a lot about loans.
One update: I just download coast to coast mod and with the mod the price per mile for the jobs have almost reduced by half. so we won't be making as much profit as we were earlier. Bank interest and driver wages are just the same. do you have suggestions on this mod ? should we go with it or not from purely expanding business and making money point of view ?
vamsi M , I have yet to try the C2C mod. Is it fun? So long as you are not paying more daily interest than what your additional working capital can earn a day, it is still a risk free investment.
I think it is fun to play as the map includes complete america. But the problem is you have to drive more miles to earn same amount of money as in base game. I need to check the finances / daily profit etc to see how good is it to invest early as you explained in the video. In base game, freight market gives you easily few 45$/ mile deliveries. But with C2C, the max i get is 25$/mile delivery.
I joined wot but my American truck games did not transfer to wot. I did link ATS to wot. I created my personal tags and it does show on my owned truck but none of my trips etc. has uploaded to wot. what do I need to do?
In-game contacts are different from WoT contacts, unfortunately. The only way to have your trip statistics shown on the website is when you accept and drive WoT contacts.
Hey wilfred! How does the trucking company mechanics work in world of trucks? is there a specific setting i have to turn on to start earning money with my drivers when im away?
World of Truck, you use it to get external contracts and track your progress through their server (for events etc). Your company still works the same way, with or without World of Truck.
@@WilfridWong I guess that is a good way to look at it within the context of the game. There are a lot more variables in real life, and also you can shop around for a better rate.
But what do I do when I buy a truck? Do I have to buy a trailer at the same time? How do I do a job with my own truck. I can get through the financial part here. So there was very little I learned from this video. I needed to know basics. How do I pick up a load on my own? Does it appear magically at my garage? fuck , fuck, fuck
Relax 😀. There are three types of jobs. First type does not require a truck but the payoff is bad. Because you are driving other people's truck. Second type is you have your truck, you drive to a location to pick up the trailer and you deliver it to the destination, very much like in real life. Third type is called external contact and it is the same as second type. Just that the contract is online and you can't undo driving mistakes you makes.
Yes I just downloaded from steam so it’s a legit copy I just don’t understand everything else works but soon as I click browse trailers my game crashes ....
i went into the wot job market and signed up for a job & it told me to complete the job in euro truck simulator. i only have ats...i don't have euro so i abandoned the job. are there jobs for ats?
Head to World of Trucks website and sign up for an online profile. You can upload your own photo as avatar. Then you need to link that to your Steam account.
+TR-Breeze Female Gamer Sign up for a WoT account here and then link your game to your account! www.worldoftrucks.com/en/ You can then update your account with your own picture.
Jonas Lundin I’ve heard the sleeper cab shortens your “rest times”. I have yet to test as none my cabs have one yet.....in theory, you don’t make money sleeping so shortening any off time should leave more time to haul-ass.
@@HOWNDOG66 DOT regs require the driver to be off 10 hours no matter what type of truck it is. From what I have seen, the game just follows those rules.
+Benjamin Mortensen I assume you mean the garage? $180k can get you a small garage that can have 3 drivers (3 slots). A $100k upgrade can get you extra 2 slots for you to hire two more drivers.

Many thanks for your kind comments and Happy 2022! 🎉
I just buy the game and needed some explanation this video covered all of my questions. Thanks dude you earned a subscriber !
Hey buddy. Happy that you have also bought the game! I love it. Perhaps I shall do more trucking videos haha.
Exactly what I needed thank you! Great video :) Getting around 1.8m/week now on ets2 and I never took out a loan! haha
You are most welcome! These truck simulator games are great. Enjoy.

Oh yes. Your drivers will leave you if you don’t have a truck for them! It is good to keep buying trucks and keep a look out for good drivers. Cheers.
Your rapid fire delivery does not cover up the fact you just gave me all the information I needed to know without wasting my time.
Thanks.
Happy trucking!
You made the video of this guide very professional. I don't know why you don't have the traffic you should have on RUclips.
Thank you for your kind words. Have a great day 😄

I did just as you did on the game before I saw your video but now that I have my 1st Shop fully upgraded, I didn't have the money for my last truck I needed so I gave my truck to one of my hires and I'm just gonna do large quick jobs to collect money and pay off loans and buy the truck that I need for the last guy so I can have my truck back.
Sounds like you are having a good time :) This game is getting better and better with the DLC's!

I focus on taking loans to get two drivers and trucks who make me money while I do
Quick jobs to pay off those two trucks and the loans fast.
This guy trucks!

Great. Borrow money to make more money. Soon, you will have a very successful company free of loans. Just profit 😄
Thanks mate, helpful and you play the game the same way I would.
An Asian man teaching me how to be American :)
We are world citizen :)
@@WilfridWong Best answer ever man!
what are you talking about ? it shows the interest rate and how much you pay back daily there on the list and it sure is not 28 dollars a day it says right there on your list 400,000 left to pay 12% 5788 PER DAY so divide that by 4 if its 100k its around 1500 a day so if your making 5000 on a quick job thats nothing, no way is it 28 dollars for anything
Watched this in December but i had know how because u had been doing it on a bootleg ETS 2, but because i bought it on steam i watched this now i have 380 drivers and about 88 garages
410 trucks
Daily profit about 3 million
Profit last 7 days 23 million 😂
Its no longer worth to buy DCL maps to expand west.
Good stuff! But expanding to the west and do long haul is fun 😀
@@WilfridWong yeah but I like working on a growing a billion dollar enterprise in assets.
Hi, I'm new to your channel I play this game too, I enjoy allot, I earn a total of $419,571 and I level 7 and my rank is Enthusiast , why I have a lot of in-game money cuz I use the in-game bank loan offers I use it and I boost my in-game salary and skills perks more you upgrade more money you earn and I always choose the longest distance and, that's the only way to make tons of in-game money that's how i earn money in game :) The longer it gets the better it gets , bigger payout ,more fun and more challenging .
Oh yes. Long distance does pay off! And it is also fun. Enjoy!
I know I'm late, and I found this very helpful. I'm kind of at that awkward stage where I bought my own truck with a loan and I had 60k left over. I've done some jobs and have about 80k now. But I don't know what the next step is. Do I upgrade the truck? Buy my own trailer? Buy a new garage/upgrade it? Just any tips would help to be honest lol.
Never late at all! Take the maximum amount of loan you can. Keep buying garages and hire drivers and buy trucks. You can buy the cheapest truck and later on, as you upgrade your own truck, you can pass them down to your driver. Keep borrowing money. Before you know it, you are so loaded that money will no longer be an issue. Best of luck!
Thanks a lot, I'll make a few save games to test stuff out. 👍
Try to do external contracts. They are fun. And the progress is saved onto the World of Truck website!
Oh ok, I never understood what that was for, thank you very much.
External contracts are contracted handed out online. There are certain rules such as you are not allowed to load a saved file that is not the most recent one autosaved by the game regularly. And they put a hard limit on speed.
It is fun because it is more like real life. You truck as the time passes without the ability to going back in time and undo certain things. Also, the are regular online events that reward free cosmetic items. Enjoy!
Hey; Wilfrid. Can you make a tutorial on the ATS - Interior Driver Skin Making. There's one out but; it doesn't go into depth like you do in your tutorials. thanks
Business teacher? You sound like one *wink* Good advice.
Hahah I wish I were! Thanks for your comment.
u got a sub nice video
ok cool...thank u so much...👍😊
the easiest way to pay back a loan is to take the loan in 10k or 50k amounts which is the smallest amounts you can take loan of and 10 and 50k is easiest to pay back the amount you take loan off is the amount you have to pay back, it will deduct a certain amount daily but if you want to pay the whole amount back in one hit it is easier to pay 10 or 50k and not hundreds, you have no idea about loans
Risk free. Just take the most and build up your company. Only redeem your loan when you no longer require it. Paying interest is nothing compared to the money that you and your company earns.
This would not work in real life because real life carries risks. Trust me. I know a lot about loans.
should I play single player or multiplayer if I play with no mods?
I just play solo 😊
classy truck
Thanks! Loving it :)

One update: I just download coast to coast mod and with the mod the price per mile for the jobs have almost reduced by half. so we won't be making as much profit as we were earlier. Bank interest and driver wages are just the same. do you have suggestions on this mod ? should we go with it or not from purely expanding business and making money point of view ?
vamsi M , I have yet to try the C2C mod. Is it fun? So long as you are not paying more daily interest than what your additional working capital can earn a day, it is still a risk free investment.
I think it is fun to play as the map includes complete america. But the problem is you have to drive more miles to earn same amount of money as in base game. I need to check the finances / daily profit etc to see how good is it to invest early as you explained in the video.
In base game, freight market gives you easily few 45$/ mile deliveries. But with C2C, the max i get is 25$/mile delivery.
I joined wot but my American truck games did not transfer to wot. I did link ATS to wot. I created my personal tags and it does show on my owned truck but none of my trips etc. has uploaded to wot. what do I need to do?
In-game contacts are different from WoT contacts, unfortunately. The only way to have your trip statistics shown on the website is when you accept and drive WoT contacts.
Hey wilfred! How does the trucking company mechanics work in world of trucks? is there a specific setting i have to turn on to start earning money with my drivers when im away?
World of Truck, you use it to get external contracts and track your progress through their server (for events etc). Your company still works the same way, with or without World of Truck.
? how many driver can u hire per garage is it 4 only or is it 6 per garage beside you as an owner of the garage
You will take up one garage slot. The rest are for your drivers including the additional garages that you will buy.
I guess a lot of people get put off by that interest rate... twelve percent???
True. But it is risk free business with a much bigger return!
@@WilfridWong I guess that is a good way to look at it within the context of the game. There are a lot more variables in real life, and also you can shop around for a better rate.
But what do I do when I buy a truck? Do I have to buy a trailer at the same time? How do I do a job with my own truck. I can get through the financial part here. So there was very little I learned from this video. I needed to know basics. How do I pick up a load on my own? Does it appear magically at my garage? fuck , fuck, fuck
Relax 😀. There are three types of jobs. First type does not require a truck but the payoff is bad. Because you are driving other people's truck. Second type is you have your truck, you drive to a location to pick up the trailer and you deliver it to the destination, very much like in real life. Third type is called external contact and it is the same as second type. Just that the contract is online and you can't undo driving mistakes you makes.
Why when I try to browse for a trailer it crashes my game??
Does it happen often? You have got all the latest drivers updated I suppose? You could also contact tech support. They can help.
Yes I just downloaded from steam so it’s a legit copy I just don’t understand everything else works but soon as I click browse trailers my game crashes ....
i went into the wot job market and signed up for a job & it told me to complete the job in euro truck simulator. i only have ats...i don't have euro so i abandoned the job. are there jobs for ats?
There will be. Right now, not yet ☺️
ok,,,u have been a great help. Thank you so so much!
TR-Breeze Female Gamer Most welcome. I ought to do more videos on Truck!
This is a good video. Do you still play?
Thanks. Oh yes. I still do. Whenever there is an event, I usually make some trucking videos. Happy trucking!
how do i get the new drivers to run ???
Just equip your driver with a truck!
how do i put a custom pic for the driver?
Head to World of Trucks website and sign up for an online profile. You can upload your own photo as avatar. Then you need to link that to your Steam account.
thank you
my ? is are you talking in multiplayer or singleplayer
Single player thus far!
can I join your game and cannot work for you and leave me a message
how did you put your picture in your personal status?
+TR-Breeze Female Gamer Sign up for a WoT account here and then link your game to your account! www.worldoftrucks.com/en/
You can then update your account with your own picture.
+Wilfrid Wong ok, cool thank you...I subbed up also
+Wilfrid Wong I signed up and thank you so much.....
TR-Breeze Female Gamer Most welcome. Happy trucking!
thumbs up!
How to play ATS
It is a PC game and can be played with a controller.
@@WilfridWong what things is need to be played
Have you found out if its important to buy a Sleeper Truck for your driver? Or can you upgrade the truck when you have the money for it?
Jonas Lundin , I don't think it matters. But from a role playing point of view, I think it is good to have that 😃
Jonas Lundin I’ve heard the sleeper cab shortens your “rest times”. I have yet to test as none my cabs have one yet.....in theory, you don’t make money sleeping so shortening any off time should leave more time to haul-ass.
@@HOWNDOG66 DOT regs require the driver to be off 10 hours no matter what type of truck it is. From what I have seen, the game just follows those rules.
Dan Bullis be nice if you could grab a coffee or lunch and extend the time a bit to complete a load without sleeping for a 10hr stretch
Are you from Singapore??!
Yes I am.
someone has a thing for blondes
🤭
Did my dude hire only females into his trucking company? lol calm down there tiger
Lmao
Erm. Trust me. Equal opportunity ☺️
this is wong
what does 2nd upgrade cost, the 1st is 180k ?
+Benjamin Mortensen I assume you mean the garage? $180k can get you a small garage that can have 3 drivers (3 slots). A $100k upgrade can get you extra 2 slots for you to hire two more drivers.
