For me, the same thing as what Komen mentioned, especially:
- When a truck/trailer has badly damaged caused by a sudden accident
- When I modify a truck/trailer for accessories/change engine/transmission output.

I do regular service intervals at every 25000 km (+/- 1000 km, depending on service center location).

I play with modified damages (especially reduced tyre wear) and economy (around 90 - 110 ct/km for a fresh profile w/o experience and truck+trailer ownership) though to enhance realism. Progress is rather slow, but I still make a profit and I play for the driving experience rather than quick progress anyways. It's also nice having to watch the fuel economy and fuel prices to maximize profits. ;)

Does anyone know real-life service intervals for modern trucks? Is 25000 km a realistic interval or should I modify it?

i thought 25-30k too but Mercedes claim the Telligent maintenance allows for service intervals of 120k ...

also a daf website says full oil change should be between 90k to 150k on the xf...the XG has intervals of 200k...thats impressive

are they realistic figures or sales pie in the sky stuff?? i presume checks more detailed that daily and weekly ones have to be done every 20k or so too

Typically, when tires are 10 - 15 % "damaged".

I take my truck to service once the engine malfunctions or the check engine light comes on. Those both usually start around 15% engine damage.

Seldom, I buy a new if needed
