Trucking
Buy a truck, take jobs from the Trucking Center, and haul cargo around the map. Longer routes and better trucks unlock as you rank up. Pay hits your bank when you turn the job in at the depot — not at each stop.
How to start
- Buy your first truck at Dock Tees Truck Sales. Start with a Minivan.
- Store it in your Truck Depot (same dealership flow).
- Go to the Trucking Center at the docks, press E, and pick a route you're allowed to run.
- Take the truck from the depot, load if the job asks for it, and follow GPS.
The truck has to be yours and in the depot. A random van off the street won't start a route.
The run
Most jobs are several stops. Local packages: park, grab boxes from the trunk, walk them to the door. Bigger hauls: drive to the pin and drop.
There's a clock. Faster legs can put time back on it. Blow the timer and you go back to the Trucking Center with nothing for that route.
When the last stop is done, return to the Trucking Center to get paid. Money from the run sits until you turn in.
Cargo damage is real. Crashes and scrapes ding the load even if you repair the truck afterward. Wrecked cargo means a smaller check.
Fuel burns on the road. If you pull a truck out of the depot under 20%, expect to pay for a full tank from your bank.
Leveling
Trucking goes to level 40. Each level bumps pay a little and can unlock bigger trucks and harder jobs.
You also get skill points to spend in trees — 1 point per rank from 2 through 39, then 2 points at 40. See Skills below. You don't need a perfect tree to start — just haul. A few rank gates worth knowing:
- Level 10 — ADR certification (hazardous loads, +10% hazmat pay).
- Level 20 — special cargo routes (Luxury Goods).
- Level 30 — company expansion (hire AI drivers).
- Level 40 — Master Trucker (+10% on every job, unlocks Classified Transport).
Weekly challenges reset on Monday. They pay trucking XP, not extra cash:
- Finish 5 deliveries — 10 XP
- Bank $500,000 from deliveries — 15 XP
- Finish 3 specialist runs (Specialized Equipment, Luxury Goods, or Classified Transport) — 20 XP

Job unlocks
Base pay is the listed route number. Distance, your level, cargo flags, skills, and how beat-up the load is all move the real check. The menu won't let you start a haul you don't have a legal truck for.
| Level | Job | Stops | Base pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Local Package Delivery | 5 | $5,000 | Walk boxes from the trunk to the door |
| 5 | Commercial Deliveries | 5 | $9,500 | Business drops |
| 8 | Fragile Goods | 5 | $15,000 | Fragile — drive gentle |
| 10 | Hazardous Materials | 6 | $43,000 | Needs ADR. Highway + hazmat. Premium pay |
| 12 | Industrial Freight | 6 | $17,500 | Heavy |
| 15 | Electronics Delivery | 5 | $20,000 | Fragile and high-value |
| 18 | Cross-Town Hauling | 6 | $23,500 | Heavy |
| 20 | Luxury Goods | 7 | $78,500 | Needs Special Cargo Routes. Fragile, high-value, premium |

| 25 | Valuable Cargo | 6 | $35,500 | High-value, premium |
| 28 | Time-Sensitive Delivery | 6 | $60,000 | Highway + high-value, premium |
| 30 | Heavy Machinery | 7 | $54,500 | Highway + heavy + high-value, premium |

| 40 | Classified Transport | 8 | $100,000 | Needs Master Trucker. Fragile, highway, high-value, biggest premium |
Premium routes pay extra on top of the base. ADR also adds +10% on hazmat. Master Trucker adds +10% on everything.

Rough pay
Pay scales with the job, distance, your level, and how clean the cargo is. You get at least a few thousand even on a short one. Starter Local Package runs are the small end. Highway, hazmat, and late-game specialist jobs are the big end.
| Early local / commercial | Thousands to low tens of thousands per route, depending on stops |
| Mid-level freight | Tens of thousands |
| Late highway / specialist | Can climb a lot higher if you keep the cargo intact |
| Turn-in | Paid to bank at the Trucking Center |
Don't expect the wiki number to match the receipt. Damage, time, and skills all move it.

Benny's can upgrade a truck you own for more speed. Take it there when you want it quicker, not because the job requires it.
Company drivers
At level 30 you can hire AI drivers for passive income. More slots unlock as you keep ranking, up to five at level 40. They pay out on their own clock — you still want to be hauling yourself for the real money.
Tips
- Drive like the cargo is watching. It is.
- Match the truck to the job. The menu won't let you start a haul you don't have a legal truck for.
- Turn in at the depot. Leaving the last drop doesn't pay you.
- Fuel up. Running dry mid-route is a wasted clock.
- Spend skill points when you have them, but don't wait on a "perfect" build to take jobs.
- Job Knowledge is for scouting. Rank up before you try to actually take the fancy routes.
