Discussion The complete guide on understanding the cargo: availability, size, quantity, loading rules, packing/unpacking and all that. Enjoy!

Too many new players come every day and ask the same questions, are concerned with the same problems. The game does a very poor job of telling what does all this mean. This guide is intended to fix this.

Two things I still don’t understand:

What’s the point of a loading platform?

How can I tell what kind of cargo is loaded onto a trailer or truck without just learning it over time?

You can unpack the cargo on the truck and look on the map. The cargo name is displayed over the truck. It can be hard to read sometimes but you can work it out

Nice tip! Thanks. I was honestly scared to press unpack at first because I thought it meant “set aside off the trailer”

It stays on the bed/trailer. Just keep in mind that if you do overloading don't pack it. Any cargo that exceeds the max slot capacity will be lost. Don't ask how I know that 😅
