Cruising Iowa Event
Traditionally with new map DLC we get World of Trucks event, with the same mechanics and rules. So if you ever cruised the country or state you can guess details and rewards.
Community goal – 125,000,000 driven miles while delivering cargo to or from any city in Iowa.
All routes have to be more that 100 miles and only with External Contracts or External Market, with a World of Trucks-connected profile in American Truck Simulator.
Personal goal – delivery to or from 12 different Iowa cities.
Rewards:
Personal: Players that deliver cargo to or from 12 Iowa cities will gain a personal World of Trucks Achievement and a Golden Flight ATS truck paint job Steam inventory item.
Community: When the community goal of driving 125,000,000 miles (201,168,000 km) during deliveries to or from any city in Iowa is met, and if the player has also achieved their personal goal, then they will receive a Porcelain Wild Rose hanging ornament Steam inventory item.
Map Combo Study 07.05.2025
Both ETS2 and ATS 1.55 released and obviously not all map mods updated and no combo for new version is available. Every day we observe new version of various maps and hope soon we will combine some maps on 1.55 but for now if you prefer big combos and long hauls please refer to available actual combos for 1.54
ATS:
17 Maps big map combo
ETS2:
Free Version Mega combo with 73 maps
If you just started with mods and map combination please see beginner’s guide which I’m planning to update soon with actual dates and new UI which came in 1.51 after this guide was recorded.
All 224 Hidden Roads in ATS 1.55 (w/out Iowa) Secret Roads, Towns and Easter eggs
The guide contains 224+ hidden roads in 17 states (excluding Iowa DLC) on American Truck Simulator. It is actual for July 2025, on ATS 1.55.
Some roads are periodically disappear during map reworks and some new are being added in new game versions. Mostly I added marked roads but also some easter eggs are available.
And we are waiting the new state in couple days, so hope to update the guide accordingly.
I tried to avoid spoilers, mark only locations and removed hidden roads footages but if you prefer to to discover all hidden roads and secrets yourself better to skip the video.
Hidden and secret roads doesn’t affect percentage of map discovery.

[July 2025] Stuck on 99.99% on Promods (1.54 update)
Obviously after release of ETS 2 1.55 and new Promods 2.75 the progress wont be 99.99% and newly added areas have to be discovered and maybe this time I will reach 100% (probably – no). I’m sharing my progress again on the end of 1.54 cycle, but I’m sure if you grab this one on 1.55 you will be somewhere on 99%. Below you can also find the link to guide how to merge profiles.
Below you can find strings of my progress (Discovered items) for 1.54 version and you know what do do with them you can inject them to your profile.
