You see someone rolling through a map with a truck painted like a flamingo. Or a cabin decked out in neon lights you’ve never seen before.
And you think: how the hell did they get that?
I’ve been there. Staring at the event tab, clicking around, missing deadlines, getting locked out of rewards.
This is a complete guide to Etsgamevent. Every official ETS and ATS world of trucks event.
No guessing. No missed drops. No confusion about timers or requirements.
I’ve run these events since day one. Watched thousands of players miss out because the info was scattered or outdated.
You’ll learn how to find every active event. How to complete them fast. And how to grab every exclusive reward before it vanishes.
You’ll know exactly what to do (for) today’s event and every one after.
No fluff. No jargon. Just what works.
What Exactly Is a World of Trucks Event?
It’s a time-limited challenge in Euro Truck Simulator 2 or American Truck Simulator. Not a mod. Not DLC.
Just a coordinated push by the community. And SCS (to) drive, deliver, and celebrate together.
I’ve done six of them. Some lasted two weeks. One dragged on for a month.
They all start with a countdown on the Etsgamevent site.
There are two goals every time. Your personal one (like) “deliver 12 refrigerated cargoes to Hamburg.” And the big shared one (say,) “hit 50 million collective kilometers.”
You don’t pay extra. You just need the base game and a free World of Trucks account. That’s it.
No subscription. No hidden gate.
Rewards? Paint jobs you can’t get anywhere else. Pennants that flap in the wind.
Tiny plastic toys hanging from your mirror. Steam achievements that pop up like confetti.
Christmas Winterland had snow-covered trailers and sleigh bells on the horn. The trade fair event gave us chrome exhaust tips and branded cargo boxes.
Some people grind for the cosmetics. Others just like knowing they helped the server hit 100 million km.
Does it change gameplay? No. But it makes hauling feel less lonely.
The best part? You show up when you want. Skip a day.
Log in at 3 a.m. Nobody’s watching.
Just don’t forget to sync your profile with World of Trucks before the event ends. I missed my pennant once. Still mad about it.
It’s not magic. It’s trucks. And people.
And a shared odometer.
How to Jump Into the Current Event
First (make) sure you have a free World of Trucks account. Link it to your game profile before you even open the truck. I’ve watched people rage-quit because they got halfway through an event and realized their accounts weren’t synced.
(Don’t be that person.)
Step 1: Check the Official SCS Blog
That’s where they post event start dates, rules, and deadlines. No RSS feed. No Discord ping.
Just go there. Bookmark it. Seriously.
Step 2: Find External Contracts
Not the Freight Market. Not Quick Jobs. External Contracts (that’s) the tab you want. It’s buried under “Jobs” in the main menu.
Click it twice if you have to.
Look for the little banner or icon next to the job. It says “Event” or shows a seasonal emblem. Like snowflakes in winter or fireworks in summer.
If it doesn’t have that, it’s not part of the current Etsgamevent.
Update your game. Always. Events break if you’re on version 1.47.5 and the event needs 1.48.0.
Steam auto-updates don’t always fire fast enough. Check manually.
Log into World of Trucks after you haul your first event load. Your progress shows up there. Distance, deliveries, bonuses.
All live. It updates slower than the game, but it’s the only place you’ll see your rank against others.
Pro tip: Filter jobs by “Event Only” if the option appears.
It saves scrolling past 47 identical gravel runs.
You’ll hear the radio chatter change during events. Different voice lines. Slightly louder horns.
That’s your brain saying this is different. Listen to it.
Did you miss the start? Yeah, me too. But most events run two weeks.
You can read more about this in Online event etsgamevent from etruesports.
You’ve got time.
Speedrun Your Way Through Events

I used to waste two hours just driving to the first delivery.
Then I started planning routes like I’m late for a concert.
Look at the map before you accept anything. Find the shortest eligible hauls (not) the flashiest ones. Five 20-mile runs beat one 150-miler every time.
Filter External Contracts by destination first. Not cargo type. Not pay.
Destination. That cuts your search from 45 seconds to 3.
Germany’s central map position isn’t magic. It’s geography. Cities like Frankfurt or Nuremberg put you within 90 minutes of half the contracts in the event.
Less deadhead. More cash.
You own more than one garage? Use Quick Travel. Jump between them like it’s nothing.
No fuel burn. No time lost scrolling through cities looking for the “right” start point.
I skip the scenic route. Always.
Community goals hit different when you realize your extra run helps everyone open up that final reward. Even if you’re done early. Keep hauling.
Someone else is still grinding.
Empty miles are theft. Theft of your time. Your fuel.
The Online event etsgamevent from etruesports page has the full list of current community milestones. Check it mid-event. Don’t wait until the last 12 hours.
Your sanity.
I park outside the depot and scan contracts before I even get in the cab.
Route planning isn’t optional. It’s how you stay ahead.
You ever finish an event and think I could’ve done that in half the time?
Yeah. Me too.
That’s why I filter first. Jump second. Drive third.
Etsgamevent rewards speed (but) only if you build it into your routine.
No one gives you time back. You take it.
Event Glitches: Why Stuff Breaks (and How to Fix It)
My delivery didn’t count.
Yeah, I’ve yelled that too.
The #1 cause? You took the job from Freight Market instead of External Contracts. It looks similar.
It’s not the same. The game just ignores it.
Can’t find any event jobs? Check your game version first. Outdated = no events.
Then check your internet. Then sleep in-game. That resets the list.
Works every time.
Finished the event but no reward? Rewards don’t drop in-game. You claim them on the World of Trucks website under Events.
Then they sync. Takes a minute. Don’t panic.
Etsgamevent rewards aren’t magic. They’re manual. I wish they weren’t.
But they are.
You Missed the Last One. Don’t Miss This.
I’ve been there. Staring at the event timer, clicking refresh, watching it vanish.
You wanted the rewards. You knew they were limited. But you didn’t know how to jump in fast.
That confusion ends now.
Follow the steps in this guide and you’ll join any Etsgamevent. No guesswork, no panic, no missed drops.
You don’t need to be a veteran. You just need to know where to click.
Log in to World of Trucks right now. Check for an active event. If none are running?
Fix your profile today. Get your truck, license, and settings ready.
Because the next one won’t wait.
Happy trucking, and see you on the road!
