TruckersFM, also known as Truckers.FM or TFM, is an independent online radio station created by the Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator community,[1] and also features in other simulator genres such as Farming Simulator.[2] The station was founded in October 2015 by brothers Alexander and Joshua Blackman.[3]

TruckersFM is run by a team of volunteer radio presenters who broadcast a variety of live shows consisting of music, entertainment and related gaming news.

The station predominately plays chart music, pop music as well as rock and EDM. Their sister radio station, BigRigFM primarily plays country music. TruckersFM is available online, on various audio streaming services such as TuneIn and on smart speakers such as Amazon Echo. TruckersFM is featured within the in-game radio directories of the simulation game titles Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator and the Farming Simulator series.

British video game news site Eurogamer describes TruckersFM as "an alternative to listening to real-world radio stations inside a game, (which) has become an alternative to real-world stations out in the real world."[3]

The station is primarily funded by on-air advertising from community-related groups, streamers and virtual trucking companies as well as listener donations via Patreon.
