Essential Breaks on the South Dakota Road

Complying with rest regulations is part of the job, but in South Dakota, it becomes a pleasure. The truck stops in American Truck Simulator are placed at strategic points, offering not just parking and amenities but also breathtaking views of the state’s rolling landscapes and big skies.

Gateway Stops: Welcome to South Dakota

Your first rest opportunity arises right at the state line. Drivers entering from Iowa via I-29 near Sioux City will find a welcoming stop. Similarly, those crossing from Nebraska can take a break in Yankton, just past the Missouri River.

The Community-Requested Gem: Alzada Truck Stop

A highlight for the #BestCommunityEver is the inclusion of the Alzada truck stop. Located on the route from Montana, this stop was a frequent topic of discussion, and the development team is excited to deliver it to the players.

A Diverse Network Across the State

South Dakota truck stops come in all shapes and sizes, mirroring real-life locations. You’ll find small, intimate stops on rural routes and larger, full-service complexes near urban centers like those along the I-90 corridor. Each is meticulously researched and recreated to provide an authentic American trucking experience.
