: To increase the challenge, experts at ATS.world suggest disabling the "Automatic Retarder" and "Automatic Exhaust Brake" to force manual control on Idaho's mountain passes.
: Unlock "Field Loading" points—primitive, unpaved dirt roads leading directly into potato fields that aren't accessible during the rest of the year. This tests your suspension and low-gear handling.
: Head to the northern panhandle for high-weight timber hauls. These jobs often require navigating narrow forest roads that are far more technical than interstate driving.
