Is there a free roam mode?

[kjharris]

I'd like to just play around with some of the trucks I downloaded in a mod but I'm stuck doing jobs with the one truck i had to take a loan to get. Is there a way to just drive around and check out the different trucks?

You have to buy it..... Then you can just click drive and off you go

Maybe you can make a new test drive profile and get a money/experience mod. Do one job, become a multi millionaire and buy and test drive every truck out there

As above, you can get a money mod that will give you an extremely high payout in money and Xp for each job. On a new profile, it will only take one or two jobs to have enough to play around all you want. Alternatively, you can select Quick Jobs with the truck you want to try out and drive it there, assuming your mod truck will appear in the quick jobs rotation.

That is exactly how the game works OP except you have to take jobs and haul freight (play the game).

You do a bit of that, and you'll have all the road trip money you need. Then all you have to do is download or create an RV mod, or hop in your favorite sleeper, and off you go!

So yes. Once you earn the gas money and own a truck, you can drive wherever you want, whenever you want, on any of the state maps you own (that's one reason why it's best to keep all the states you decide to buy "connected" geographically / adjacent to each other).

you're STUCK doing jobs?!
like a slave? that can't select ABANDON/CANCEL JOB and then just drive off a cliff?
Are you for real now?!

F6 - Cancel Job :)

You need to drive all the way to the Amsterdam. Why? Because, when in there, hire some drivers, get them a truck and take a cruise to Newcastle (UK) and back. Repeat 'till you're a very rich. Buy as many trucks you want and go for a test drive.

EDIT: Yeah, that's a classic. I'm on ATS forum, now aren't I... Well, better wait for ferry to Hawaii then, I guess.

Let's say it could be considered an "unlockable feature". Work hard enough to have two or three employees driving for you, and you're already free to roam the game.

Download an already successful saved game on some websites and do whatever you want inside it

Another thing you can do is quick jobs. Use the drop down list on the top left and choose the truck you want to try. Its not free roam but a good way to see if you like that type of truck

Nobody said that at all. Once you own a truck you can do all the driving you want without a job.
