It's glorious isn't it, they changed their policy before we got to Louisiana and Nevada, so no more worries on that front
It's a very relaxing time to be a fan of ATS, for me anyways. We know the road networks of LA and IL already and they look very good, SD we know for a fact is in good hands given the NE/IA team's previous work, BC announcement should be coming this year or next year, etc. Just back to waiting on gameplay improvements. More dynamic loading should hopefully be coming (again, my hope is for tanker loading/unloading in time for Louisiana, although no evidence of it yet), and I'm also cautiously optimistic that their work on Coaches could provide a general framework or at least a base to work off of for the implementation of LTL/multi-drop. That's assuming they want to do LTL/multi-drop anyways, and I'm not sure we've ever heard those words come out of anyone's mouth at SCS, at least since I've been listening, so it may still be a pipe dream.
And of course, the ever-looming specter of truck washes
It's all coalescing, slowly but surely. Very fun times right now indeed.
