I'm not a trucker in real life, I have pulled some large loads over the years, 17 ft boats, campers and trailers, but not for about 15 or 20 years, so this simulator/game really did help keep me in practice. Long story short, I surprised even myself, I maneuvered that trailer (15 ft, btw) around like I'd been doing it for years! I even got it in and out of some tight spots more than once with no trouble at all. I've been playing ATS for a good while now and ingame, I'm pretty good at backing my trailers into tight parking spots, but this is real, if I mess up here, someone's gonna have to pay real money to fix it, mainly me. I haven't pulled a boat, camper or anything in a number of years, so I was a little nervous because of that much time without practicing any. I would most certainly say yes, it can help, but as stated earlier, only to a point.Īs an example, my sister was moving into a new house last weekend and asked me if I could pull the trailer that she was renting, because I have a truck and she doesn't.
