What this mod does

Rideshare Jobs for Road Trip, by AppleML, adds passenger transport jobs to American Truck Simulator’s car mode, in the style of ridesharing apps. It works with the official vehicles from the Road Trip: Ford DLC; the author hasn’t decided yet whether he’ll support modded cars.

Trip types

  • Standard ride: up to 559 miles, with 1, 2 or 3 passengers; groups pay more per mile.
  • Airport: pick up or drop off passengers, over medium and long distances.
  • VIP: a single passenger, up to 559 miles and the best pay.
  • Party night: groups on short and medium trips.
  • Hitchhiker: short and cheap.

The longest trips unlock as you raise your Courier Rating (2.6, 3.6 and 4.6). Since the October 7 update, passengers sit in the back, and on the 8th, 23 new passengers were added.

Extras and tips

It includes six cards to hang from the rearview mirror (Uber, Lyft and taxi). It includes a Spanish translation. If you don’t see any jobs, drive to another city; to force them, type g_force_economy_reset 1 in the console and reload the profile. The Halloween trips moved to a separate mod. Watch the size: it weighs more than 260 MB.
