Euro Truck Simulator 2: How to Rest and Manage Driver Fatigue

Euro Truck Simulator 2 Header
Gameplay telemetry and reference asset for Euro Truck Simulator 2.

Driver stamina steadily drops during long haulage routes in Euro Truck Simulator 2, demanding planned rest stops.

Ignoring driver tiredness leads to hazardous microsleep incidents that can cause vehicles to drift off the roadway. To sleep, drivers must find yellow designated bays situated beside maintenance centers, petrol stations, inns, or player headquarters. Switch off the truck motor and hit enter to recuperate, or board a sea ferry route to Britain to recover during transport.
