In the pantheon of truck simulators, SCS Software’s 18 Wheels of Steel (18WoS) series laid the groundwork for the genre-defining American Truck Simulator (ATS). Among these titles, 18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul (released in 2007) holds a special place. It bridged the gap between the arcade-style physics of earlier entries and the more grounded simulation that was to come.
