The multiplayer mod that brings Euro and American trucking to life online.

Multiplayer Trucking Across Continents

TruckersMP is a multiplayer modification that transforms the single-player experiences of Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator into thriving online communities. Developed by a dedicated team of modders, it enables drivers to interact, form convoys, and navigate both European and American roads together. Note that a legitimate, up-to-date copy of either base game is necessary to play.

Feature-Rich Online Experience

TruckersMP provides a wealth of features that enhance the core trucking simulators. It offers real-time voice communication via CB Radio, supporting road banter and coordination among players. The in-game chat and player list streamline interactions and help truckers keep track of fellow drivers on busy highways.

A popular addition is the inclusion of scout cars, letting players roleplay as support vehicles or even traffic marshals. Routine in-game events—such as convoys and seasonal celebrations—are organized regularly, fostering a strong sense of community and participation. For those seeking new horizons, TruckersMP supports additional map mods, such as ProMods, vastly extending the drivable road network.

Community and Moderation

TruckersMP is entirely separate from SCS Software, the creators of the base games, and all moderation is handled by the community’s staff. The rules are strictly enforced to maintain order on busy servers. While these regulations help preserve realism and deter trolls or reckless drivers, there can sometimes be debate around the consistency of bans or moderation decisions. The support documentation and ticket system provide avenues for dispute resolution, although some users may find the process rigid.

Performance and Compatibility

The mod maintains stable performance and integrates smoothly with the supported versions of ETS2 and ATS. However, updates to the base games can temporarily render TruckersMP incompatible until patch support is added. Regular updates and an active development cycle ensure new features and bug fixes are frequently introduced.

A Genuine Multiplayer Simulation

TruckersMP’s greatest strength lies in its ability to create real social interaction on the digital roads. Realistic traffic, adherence to international road rules, and community-led events bring an extra layer of depth beyond what single-player can offer. Whether joining massive convoys or forming trucking companies with friends, the online aspect adds both challenge and entertainment for trucking enthusiasts.
