Dont know how to tell what mods are causing a crash.
Every time i start up it will play fine for 15 to 30 min and i have no idea how to tell what mod it is.

start with your most recently added mod, disable the mod and play the game. if it does not crash, that was the offending mod, if it still crashes it may not have been that mod so disable the next mod, etc...

another thing you can do is go through the mod manager and see if there are any mods with a red light rather than a green light as this will indicate that a mod is no longer compatible with the game version

Look at your game log and scroll to bottom and see what it says.

Go to your documents/american truck simulator it will be in there.

If you see any mods in the game log with errors get rid of them and if there are any mods with lots of warnings get rid of those as well. You must keep your game log error free and have as few warning as possible.

If you want to use mods then it is your responsibility to make sure you keep the mods up to date and check to see if they are compatible with the current version of the game. You can create a new profile just for checking mods before adding them into your main game if you are not sure if they are compatible with the current version of the game. If you use Workshop mods read the comments.

Just to add: If you want to remove any truck or trailer mods sell them first before deactivating them.

When the game crashes, you can see why in the game.log.txt file, if you need help interpreting it, copy and paste the content into pastebin.com, provide the URL here for help from people who understand the content.
NOT the GAME.CRASH

Remove all mods and add them back one at a time and see if they are all up to date

Wrong thing to do as deactivating all mods like that could lead to said profile becoming corrupt.

Pastebin.com and posting the link for someone to take a look at is the best course of action in this case.

CREATE a blank profile and start adding mods one by one until you find the one.

I need help I don't know what's causing my game to crash at different locations of the map. I've tried rearranging and deactivating mods and nothing seems to work.

With the amount of mods you are using I'm not surprised your game is crashing :steamhappy:

Honestly a lot of those mods are either outdated or flat out broken. With 789 Errors it's time you had a good mod clear out.

The crash in this case is caused by which ever mod adds/alters this: train_cars/wagon_dump_lod.pmd'

I run over 200 on ETS2 not a single issue, not a single log error. Amount has nothing to do with it...
