How do I park these things? Let's check out the Rail Export Depot.

The Rail Export Depot.

This is a small and compact depot with lots of options as far as parking.  There is usually obstacles galore so be patient not to ding up your truck or trailer.   For me the 3rd person view is the easiest view for me to use when parking.  Although the lean out the window is my personally favorite. 


A lot of time I have the most fun trying to park these monsters.  Some days I got it while others it can take me what feels like all day.  So you know what they say?  Practice makes perfect.   So lets explore a depot and see how we can go about parking this trailer.  I will give you three examples based on some known parking and loading spots.   Sometimes I will just drive around looking for places to park that could be difficult.  


What is your favorite depot to deliver to? Do you like to take the challenge of parking or do you just skip it?

    I almost never skip unless I'm running out of time for the delivery. I drive the biggest truck in the game, a W900, 86 inch sleeper, 8x4 drop axle. Patience is key, I can get my truck maneuvered back into that tight space, but just barely. It's a fun challenge.

    Parking is a lot of the fun. I love the W900 I just had a depot in Canada which was really challenging . I imagine over time it will become no problem for all the parking. I still find myself getting turned around when backing up.

  Well that didn't take long at all.  The find folks over at Reforma Mod have updated so we can once again explore south of the border in American Truck Simulator.  I must say I really enjoyed my time spent in Mexico when I played before on version 1.49 I'm really excited to check it out. So you want to check it out yourself?  Ill show you where to go and what you need to do. First lets take a trip over to  Reforma Mods Here you will download two different files.  The Reforma Map and the Mega Resources Pack. You will be redirected to Truckymods.io don't be alarms this is a great place for mods and is a common depot to download the latest mods for ATS and ETS2.  Personally I get all my mods from either the Steam Workshop or TruckyMods.io Then its just as simple as copy and paste and you are off to the races. Make sure you place both the Reforma Map and MegaResources files into your Mod folder in your My Documents\American Truck Simulator folder. The last thing we need to do

  Lets take a look at SimHub this is a stellar application that shouldn't be ignored.  There is a lot you can do with it and you will learn very quickly its a awesome tool to have in your belt.  This is a great way to use old phones and tablets and external displays for information on your favorite support game. Check out this picture I have a speedometer cluster and one of my own dashboards running on a old phone and tablet. Here is an example of a couple dashboards I created.  This Dashboard displays all kinds of great information on both the game and my PC. I have a route advisor at the top so I can easily spot the next gas station, rest stop or service station.  Below I have everything from my FPS to where I'm going.  This dashboard has been my way of learning from the elders of Simhub.  This is actually a Frankenstein of many great dashboards  I have found over time.    Let's take a moment to see what's going on behind the scenes of SimHub. We will focus on the fue

 I have been hard at work honing my GIMP and Simhub skills.  I hope that each pack of gauges that I release get better and better.  I hope you enjoy.  Here are the packs I have released and stick around until the end to see a new pack I'm working on.  This pack will offer more customization for my fellow truck drivers. Here we have the AutoMeter Antique pack.  These are a slick set of gauges that would go great in any older or newer truck.  I have a full set with a few options.  to choose from.  I even included a analog style CPU, GPU and FPS gauge.  These are configured to use hwInfo64 but can be catered to use any monitoring software supported by Simhub.  This next pack is a IssPro gauges set.  These are currently catered to Kenworth but I will be uploading the badges for the rest of the trucks soon. Finally here is the latest pack I'm working on based on the Classic Instruments American Gauges.  They will be available to download after 6-27-24 You can find all my packs and f
