How to Connect World of Trucks to ETS2

World of Trucks is SCS Software's online layer for ETS2 and ATS. In ETS2, most players connect it for External Contracts, online profile features, event tracking, and official community goals.

This guide focuses on account connection. If you already connected the account and want to understand the jobs, read World of Trucks External Contracts Explained.

Account Paths

Use the official World of Trucks site:

1. World of Trucks Join Now
2. World of Trucks Create Account
3. World of Trucks Support

If you own ETS2 through Steam, use the Steam registration path on World of Trucks instead of entering old retail-code details. The create-account page notes that Steam owners should register through the Steam route.

Before You Link the Profile

Prepare first:

1. Confirm you are signed into the correct Steam account.
2. Confirm ETS2 is installed and has been launched.
3. Use the email address you can access.
4. Avoid linking while offline or while Steam is in a bad state.
5. Back up your profile if you are also changing mods or versions.

World of Trucks account problems are usually easier to solve when Steam, email, and profile state are clean.

Basic Connection Flow

Typical flow:

1. Create or sign in to your World of Trucks account.
2. Use the Steam registration option if your ETS2 copy is on Steam.
3. Open ETS2.
4. Choose the profile you want to link.
5. Use the in-game profile connection option.
6. Confirm the account login.
7. Check whether External Contracts appear.

Keep a normal Freight Market job available too. That gives you a fallback if the online service is unavailable or you only want offline progress.

Common Blockers

Problem	Check
Account email cannot be verified	Use an email you can access; World of Trucks support notes unverified accounts can be deleted after a waiting period
Steam registration does not work	Confirm you are on the correct Steam account and use the official Steam registration path
External Contracts do not show	Check account link, internet, ETS2 version, and official service status
Wrong profile linked	Create or use a clean profile before connecting
Event goals missing	Check the official events page and SCS announcements before assuming an event is active

Profile Strategy

Use a clean profile if you care about reliability:

1. One main offline career profile.
2. One modded profile if you run heavy map or economy mods.
3. One online-friendly profile for World of Trucks or multiplayer checks.

This separation makes troubleshooting simpler. If External Contracts disappear, you can compare a clean profile against your modded one.
