Today we're excited to bring you a special SCS On The Road Episode. Earlier in the year we announced we'd be teaming up with our friends at Western Star Trucks for the Star Nation Experience 2024! Hosted at various locations across the US state of Oregon, our 2 lucky American Truck Simulator players, Brendon and Connor, were chosen to experience wild, adrenaline-fueled experiences filled with trucking, fly fishing, ATV fun and more!

Join Nemiro and Mark as they take you along for the journey from Europe to the USA to participate in Star Nation Experience 2024 and share with you what they got up to during this one-of-a-kind adventure! The highlight for us was undoubtedly the opportunity to drive some of Western Stars' iconic trucks at Daimler Truck's High Desert Proving Grounds in Madras and, of course, meet Starsquatch!

But that's not all! Connor, one of our lucky Star Nation winners from our ATS community, amazed everyone with his exceptional real-life trucking skills, which have been entirely honed through playing American Truck Simulator. Though he had never driven a real truck before, Connor quickly impressed us all with his precision and control and even went on to win a reversing competition against experienced truck drivers including our resident expert, Mark!
Inspired by Connor’s talent and passion, YouTuber Casey LaDelle, owner of a heavy-haul rescue company in Oregon, came up with the idea of supporting Connor’s journey to earn his CDL license. From this idea, we at SCS Software, along with Western Star Trucks and Casey LaDelle, have agreed to come together to help Connor achieve his dream by collectively covering the expenses associated with obtaining his license. This story is a powerful testament to the overlap between virtual trucking and real-world skills, highlighting the potential for gamers to pursue a career in the trucking industry.
We wish Connor all the very best on his journey and we can't wait to see how he progresses. You can watch our recent live stream with Connor on our YouTube channel, check it out here!
We'd like to thank Western Star for the opportunity to become an official partner of Star Nation 2024 and for organizing an incredible itinerary of activities and experiences. We hope you enjoy this after-movie that we put together for you, our #BestCommunityEver to enjoy and experience first from our POV what the Star Nation Experience is all about!
