Looking forward to trucking in Louisiana? When driving to this upcoming map expansion for American Truck Simulator, the first thing you'll encounter when crossing in or out of the Pelican State might be its welcome centers - ready to provide visitors with all the essential information. As you explore, you'll also come across convenient rest areas and weigh stations along the way. Let's take a look at what's waiting for you!
Welcome Centers
If you are driving to or from Texas, you can reach two welcome centers on Interstate 10. The Orange Travel Information Center is on the Texas side of the border and features picnic tables, separate truck and passenger parking, restrooms, and other accommodations travelers may need.
The other one is just a few miles away across the Sabine River in Louisiana. Truckers who stop by will find similar accommodations there, so they can have a well-deserved rest and admire the beautiful surroundings.
When you are hauling cargo further north on Interstate 20 from Louisiana to Texas, you can enjoy a stay at the Travel Information Center at Waskom. With a group picnic facility, plenty of room for parking, and even a movie theater, you will surely recharge and be ready to take on the road again!
Rest Areas
If you are already in the Pelican State, both Interstate 10 and 20 have big rest areas you can stop by for your required 30-minute break. Make sure to visit the one on the Atchafalaya River between Baton Rouge and Lafayette with its beautiful swamp surroundings. In the northern part of the state, you will also find the Tremont rest area.
Weigh Stations
As you know, you may be legally required to pull into a weigh station which ensures heavy vehicles comply with state weight regulations for both road safety and to prevent damage to infrastructure. One of those is located on Interstate 12 not far east from Baton Rouge - make sure to stop there if you are required to or you may be looking at a big fine!
