Real Life Economy rebuilds the economy around real-world money. As an employed driver you earn 1500 to 3000 euros a month, as an owner-operator 1500 to 7500, with an average of about 4500 before tolls and ferries, and hired drivers bring in about 1500 a month. Buying or paying off your first used truck takes around 200 hours of real time.

All 404 cargoes, including DLC, were rebalanced by hand, and trip pay now depends on the fuel needed for the delivery. Skills matter far less: level 100 gives a 5 percent bonus instead of 150 percent, and other skills add 0.5 percent per point.

You may drive 8 hours a day and rest 16, garages are shared access for 8000 with 1000 upgrades, loans follow real terms and interest rates, and tires wear realistically. The author warns that it is not for players with low stress resistance.
