Illinois: Truck Stops #2

In the last edition of the Illinois: Truck Stops blog, we introduced you to a few stops and rest areas that you can look forward to in the upcoming Illinois DLC for American Truck Simulator. We hope you're ready for the second batch today!

Our first stop today takes us to the city of Rushville. Here, you’ll find small shops and local businesses to explore, adding to the charm of this small-town setting.

Another location offers a unique scenery with a shopping center perched above the highway on I-90. This rest area also provides easy access back to the interstate from both sides, allowing you to quickly get moving again.

Traveling along I-64, you might find yourself at a small, peaceful rest area surrounded by open fields. It’s a quiet corner of the Prairie State where you can relax for a while before continuing your route.

Just outside Gilman (also known as The City of the Crossroads), there’s a big rest stop along US-24 featuring multiple places to rest and refuel. Whether you need a quick stop or an overnight stay, this location has all the facilities a driver could want.

Finally, we arrive in Effingham, home to a large truck stop surrounded by shopping centers and malls. This is an ideal spot to stock up on supplies or take a short break before you roll out again.

We hope these previews give you a glimpse of what’s waiting for you in Illinois. As always, keep in mind that the DLC is still in development, so some details may change before release. If you’re excited to explore the Prairie State, don’t forget to add this map expansion to your Steam wishlist. And of course, stay connected with us on X/Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky, and TikTok, or subscribe to our newsletter for more updates. Keep on truckin' and we’ll see you on the road!
