Fixing Stagnant Economies

It is a common occurrence for players in American Truck Simulator (ATS) to encounter a frustrating bug where no jobs appear at depots or in the freight market. This typically results from a synchronization error with the game internal economy clock. Fortunately, you can resolve this quickly using several effective methods.

​
The Console Reset Method

Using the developer console is the most reliable way to jumpstart your job list and refresh the freight market.
1

Enable the Reset Command

Open your in-game console by pressing the tilde key (~) and execute:
g_force_economy_reset 1
2

Reload Your Save

Exit to the profile selection screen and load your save again. The game will notify you that a “game change” was detected, and you will be returned to your primary garage.
3

Verify Job Availability

Open the Freight Market or Quick Jobs menu. You should now see a diverse list of new hauling opportunities.
4

Revert the Setting

Critical: Open the console once more and type:
g_force_economy_reset 0
If you neglect this step, your economy will reset every time you launch the game, disrupting your progress.

​
Alternative Refresh Strategies

If you prefer to stay within the simulation without using commands, try these actions to advance the world clock.
Navigate your truck to a hotel, rest stop, or service station marked with a sleep icon. Taking a full rest cycle often forces the game to recalculate the timeline and populate new jobs.
