Trucker culture is fascinating. I'm not talking about the haphazardly tunneled glory-holes, microwavable beef-ish burritos or "accidental" cargo shortages. I'm talking about the open road; the rubber-to-pavement exploration of America's greatest highways; the caffeine-fueled CB prattle of lonely souls, and the rich baritones of southern gentlemen. There's a beauty you'd be hard pressed to find without the weight of five adult elephants rumbling beneath your pedals.

The latest screenshots from American Truck Simulator have surfaced, and there's no bootleg porn or greasy wife-beaters in sight. Instead, it's the serene and simple charms of an authentic simulation that are captured in the images below, painting a bright future for SCS Software's latest game.
