This mod reworks delivery scheduling in American Truck Simulator to reflect what real owner-operators face on the road. Instead of generous time limits, drivers must plan around realistic driving hours, rest periods, and distance-based time calculations.
It introduces a strict rhythm of 10 hours of driving followed by 14 hours of rest, with an additional rest period granted after every 500 miles covered. Job difficulty also changes how forgiving the schedule is—easy jobs offer more buffer time before penalties hit, while urgent jobs demand near-perfect timing.
The mod is aimed at players who want a tougher, more authentic trucking simulation where cargo choices and route planning actually matter. It works alongside other economy mods and is especially recommended for use with realistic traffic behavior mods to further ground the experience in reality.
