Am I bad? Is this for me?
Been playing for about 50 hours. I've figured out how to read the ground, use my winch, try to play to my vehicles' strengths. I really enjoy exploring, repairing infrastructure, how relaxing it can be.

But increasingly things just feel extremely hard if even possible. The trucks are maxed out (for what I can get, including upgrades). I'm still in the later Michigan maps. And they just CAN'T haul the things. For example, there is no way that I can -tell- for any of my trucks to pull this large laden trailer through a muddy patch, and there are no alternative routes, overland or otherwise.

It boggles my mind that people play this on harder difficulties. Making multiple long trips from A to B because my truck is too weak to pull it all at once just feels tedious. Do I have the wrong mindset to the game? Am I doing something wrong? I feel like I'm missing some big secret.

it just seems that every path i take is the wrong one i end up flipped or my cargo gets flipped or its a dead end and cant turn around with a trailer and i flip wenches kinda help but if your really stuck your starting back at the garage to do it all over again. sure go to a look out tower path locked i go around muds to deep. i had to get cargo at a lumber yard well theres no main road to get there and the path is to deep for my truck so get stuck wench out i could imagine doing this with a trailer oh i did and im stuck yet again back to the garage. been playing for over three hours and ive done two missions the rest stuck flipped blocked

every place or option leads you to getting stuck so then you reset drive another half hour to do the right path then you get stuck again reset another half hour although its part of the game it sucks it takes so long to get any place and the missions require you to know what kind of flatbed or whatever to use and by the time you find out your travelling back to garage back to the trailor location then back to the mission lol madness lol but what did i expect from a video game funny part is i cant stop playing or thinking about it lol maybe im crazy?

The learning curve can be harsh. As you get a better feel for what your trucks (and trailers) can and can't do, it can then be beneficial to take a scout along routes you're thinking about to figure out a route in advance. But before you have that feel it can be pretty rough yeah.

Since the game seems to appeal to you on some level, though, if you're very frustrated, I might suggest taking small breaks when that frustration builds. Come at it again when you've had a little time for that frustration to simmer down, and think about what you might want to try or avoid next time.

I'm also a new player. Started playing this game ~120 hours ago. Directly on Hard Mode, with no truck buying - only using the ones you find (at least for Alaska and Michigan). Took me ~90.2 hours to 100% Michigan. And I'm at 81% Alaska.

Michigan is a great map to teach you how to strategize - I completed about 80% of the contracts using the Fleetstar (starting truck). Idk about which mission you are talking about, but I struggled a lot at the beginning, just learning the ropes.

Here are my 2 cents - first - unlock all roads (clear all debris, build all bridges, etc.). While you're at it - scout the maps. Do not do any missions unless they are easy, like along the way or something. Once that is done - work on unlocking all available vehicles and upgrades (revealed by the scouting beforehand). Then do the "side" missions. Then do the contracts. I leave timed events and logging for last.

Another point - I tried to make it harder on myself by having to do all or as many missions in one map before moving to another. In Michigan, where you have few upgrades and vehicles early on - this is very difficult. Best advice - try to get all trucks you can find in the world. All but the highway ones (at least without upgrades) of them are capable and you should not struggle with any mission.

Back to your original mission problem - try to find "the big truck". Idk how you feel about spoilers and haven't read what others have said, so I'll leave it there. Its not hard to unlock, but it will be able to pull anything out of anywhere on Michigan.

I vaguely remember a mission where you have to seemingly pull a curtainside trailer up a hill with lots of rocks and mud in the way - if that is the mission you struggle with - may I suggest going the other way? Even Fleetstar can do it that way. :)

i bought the giant green siberian crawler looking truck looks like a tatra and i havent looked back since

The P16 yeah i forgot about that....fairly important to get it early on, it can indeed do stuff the mediums struggle with or simply can't do. And it is a Michigan truck that belongs in the original experience.

- It can wade through strong current rivers without getting swept away
- It can pull free vehicles from bog and marches without getting stuck ( despite having no AWD )
- It can handle long logs and very heavy special trailers far easier
- It is a wide vehicle that wont too easily roll over

Only downsides are it has no chain tires for ice sloped roads ( but the traction on ice is still somewhat forgiving ) and its unpowered front wheels can struggle to get over larger rocks, as all vehicles with unpowered front wheels do.

Now it is mentioned i too think not having found the P16 is why the OP struggles.

I'll back up the recommendation to sell off stuff to raise the funds to buy an ANK.
and get used to filling up at petrol stations :steamhappy:

Always try and keep one side of the trucks wheels on firm ground.
Dont trust the obvious routes as most are booby trapped.
Aim to recover the tayga 6346 as soon as you feel you are able.

then just enjoy it, rolling over is funny, dont let it get you down

Yeah I know that feeling. Especially after a long run that's a struggle, you're almost at the finish and then you go over and... yeah it's just OOF.

Ok, ok, wait. I'd like for you to take note of what I'm about to say since the game never says much about truck weight classes and how that factors into how they handle in specific environments, and I think this is part of the reason you're struggling.

Mainly, I want to make a distinction between off-road, heavy-duty, and heavy. The reason I'm telling you this is that you have to plan your route, and consider your load before you initiate the task. If you need a truck of a specific class to carry a certain load, then you have to plan a route suitable for that truck. Alternatively, if you must prioritize picking a truck that can traverse very harsh terrain, then you will have to change the way you handle your delivery to suit the truck instead. Always plan for the most difficult portion of the route.

- Off-road gives you higher ground clearance and generally better traction on nasty surfaces, BUT it comes with lower load capacity (easier to overload) and a higher center of mass (easier to flip). These can often pull trailers better than they can carry things on the frame.

- Heavy-duty is less specialized and better at versatility; it can handle heavier loads than off-road trucks and it can be faster, it also tolerates greater loads on the truck frame, but doesn't perform as well on harsh terrain, and it's easier for these trucks to get stuck. Good for faster hauling across multiple terrain type transitions.

- The Heavy class is the ultimate for handling the heaviest cargo and can get good traction in off-road conditions. The catch is that this class tends to burn more fuel (it can burn LOTS in off-road), it's the slowest truck class, and many of these trucks don't steer too well. Often, they're also larger, which can further affect their ability to fit into certain places.

- Scouts can get anywhere. If you run into something that proves too difficult to deliver with bigger trucks or you must take a highly unorthodox route, and the task is something that you can break down into several smaller deliveries, scouts can help you.
I'd like to point out that from my experience in multiplayer, people often neglect the tremendous value of scouts. Due to their ability to get anywhere as well as carry spare fuel and repair parts, they're also great as assistance vehicles.


Pick a truck of the right class for the right job, or break down your delivery to suit the truck class that you need to use. Any truck can get the job done in any place, including the starter trucks, if the use conditions are appropriate for its intended use. I've used a CK1500 and a Scout 800 in Kola quite successfully.

Also, ALWAYS upgrade your transmission; high gear is extremely important for regulating top speed (engine braking) while hauling heavy loads, and also to prevent automatic downshifting in mild to moderate off-road. Fine-tune transmissions are great with heavy vehicles and when you have to deal with lots of mud or wildly varying off-road conditions. Snowrunner transmissions are great for snow, rock crawling, and general off-road while keeping more fuel efficient than with fine-tune.

Also, bear in mind that trailers and semi-trailers with more wheels are more difficult to pull, but also more difficult to flip.

And also, pick the right tires for the most difficult portion of your route. The game also doesn't state this, but in most cases, in the tire name, number 1 = highway bias, number 2 = mud bias and number 3 = dirt bias. If you're crossing shallow mud but afterward you're pulling a trailer up a steep dirt hill strewn with rocks, you want offroad+dirt bias tires and not mud bias tires.

If instead most of your route is dirt with several mud pits and then you have to use lots of paved road, you could do better with offroad#1 or even all-terrains#2 (if you want to go faster on the paved areas).

Don't use the mud tire class unless you're going to be driving on snow or deep mud almost exclusively. This tire type slips a lot on paved surfaces, is highly unsafe for rock crawling, and understeers noticeably in all conditions; off-road tires will give you higher speed in mud as long as you aren't stuck.

Also, do not use chained tires unless you need ice traction, as their description in-game is also misleading. Their performance is actually inferior to that of offroad tires, for every surface that isn't ice.

Extremely helpful answer. I was afraid I'd get flamed for this post, but there have been a lot of helpful and encouraging comments from the community. I've made unstumped myself and am trucking again. Thanks all!

Honestly, I felt your pain rather quickly into the game and found myself at a stand still for a few hours. I eventually got the MK38 Civilian and found it to be an absolute workhorse once you get the mud tires on it. Also, if you haven't already, look into getting the BM17 Royal from Alaska. If you want/need help add me and I'll help you out! Happy Hauling! :srfueltank:

If you get the tatra add on, the heavy truck in there can do any part of Michigan easily. Also like others have said the Russian trucks are superior in every way.

You might be used to American games where the Americans are the good guys lol. In this game the Russian Trucks are the good guys :D
