ATS Experimental | 🇲🇽 Río Verde → 🇨🇦 Cache Creek | Border Chaos & Exhausted Driver | Episode 05

This fifth experimental episode in American Truck Simulator is a long cross-border haul from Mexico to Canada — steady on the road, but mentally exhausting.

The drive itself is mostly calm and controlled, yet something feels off from the start. Whether it’s a fever or high blood pressure, the entire trip is accompanied by a pounding headache and a constant feeling of heartbeat throughout the body. Still, the run continues — stubbornly, like a true long-haul trucker pushing through discomfort.

Near the Canadian border, the calm breaks. An SUV crashes into the trailer from the right, completely ignoring a STOP sign and never even attempting to slow down.

Moments later, already in Canada, another “genius” driver tries to overtake a slow truck uphill without checking mirrors and crashes straight into another passenger car — right in front of the truck. A near-impossible situation, narrowly avoided by decisive braking and positioning.

The final insult comes at the unloading point, where a pole is placed exactly where the tractor unit should maneuver. Multiple attempts end with the truck or trailer bumping into it, turning a simple delivery into an unnecessarily frustrating puzzle.

The cargo is delivered — but this run proves that danger often comes not from the road itself, but from everything around it.
