BASIC TRUCKINGReal Drivers. Real Roads. A Strong Community.
This page explains the difference between our three ATS servers so you know what you need before you join. We also show examples of the trucks, trailers, maps and Workshop resources that are part of the Basic Trucking experience.
You do not need the same mod setup for every Basic Trucking server. Pick the server you want to drive on, then use the information below to see what is required, what is optional, and where the full connection instructions live.
This is the simplest way to join Basic Trucking. Bring your normal ATS setup and connect without installing a Basic Trucking mod pack.
Use this server when you want more freedom. You do not need the Basic Trucking mod folder just to join, but compatible personal mods can be used when the session supports them.
This is the server for the full Basic Trucking modded experience. Use the detailed connection guide for the current required files, Workshop resources and activation steps.
These are examples of the trucks and trailers used around the Basic Trucking community. Availability and server requirements can change, so always check the server instructions before installing anything.

Basic Trucking uses more than just trucks. Depending on the server and current setup, you may see map expansions, environment improvements, company packs and other quality-of-life additions.
Map combinations such as Reform may be part of a modded setup. Map compatibility and load order matter, so use the current Server 3 guide when required.

Our fleet includes classic and custom trucks. Check the Fleet Manager and Gallery for the current showcase instead of relying on an old mod list.
Trailer packs and recovery equipment may be used for community driving. Requirements depend on the server and current session.
The enforcement system is separate from truck, trailer, map, and Workshop mods. Drivers who use it install the two small Basic Trucking DLLs in the ATS plugin folder. That means no extra launcher and no changes to the normal mod setup on your profile.
