Plan your next Euro Truck Simulator 2 session
Our independent guide breaks down Euro Truck Simulator 2’s core systems and offers practical observations. Use the exercises to compare approaches, refine strategies, and improve profitability across deliveries, fleet growth, and multiplayer coordination.
01 / THE GUIDE
Route Comparison
Choose two routes to the same city—one highway, one secondary road. Record travel time, fuel use, and any traffic delays to decide which yields higher profit.
- Check the map for shortcuts before departing.
- Prioritise higher‑pay contracts when possible.
02 / THE GUIDE
Garage Location Test
Place a garage near two different major hubs. Track how often you return for maintenance and the impact on overall delivery time over a week.
- Place garages near major hubs.
- Hire drivers with complementary routes.
03 / THE GUIDE

Apply a performance upgrade to one truck and a cosmetic upgrade to another. Observe handling differences, fuel consumption, and personal satisfaction during long hauls.
- Add performance upgrades before long hauls.
- Use cosmetics to identify your rigs.
04 / THE GUIDE
Convoy Coordination
Run a convoy with two friends, each handling a segment of a long route. Note communication efficiency and timing issues to improve future joint deliveries.
- Synchronise departure times.
- Use voice chat for real‑time coordination.
