It's the soundtrack from another trucking game but it's just so hilarious. We almost always put it on our discord music bot when we play.

As a side note, the high gear in the twinsteer is insane, especially with the high range gearbox.

So ... i played michigan. all four maps. like i thought i was supposed to.

i went to the task giver tab and got myself some tasks.

i got my upgrades, unlocked watchtowers, delivered some goods.

after a while i wondered where to get those tasks others were talking about (like raising the beast etc.) as i couldn't find them.

Turns out there is another tab (and i guess all of you knew about it) that is quite important: CONTRACTS!

alright, more to do. and also more content. i was quite slow playing through michigans tasks so i didnt mind especially with all the dlc to look forward to (not the buying but the playing).

thanks for the game devs. dont forget to check the contracts tab.

Yes, it's part of the gameplay mechanics but sometimes it pays to take the time to load the cargo yourself. :p

(In case it is not immediately clear, the very last cargo on the International Paystar 5600TS is packed. The 3 pieces of cargo closer to the cab is not, thus enabling carrying 4 pieces of cargo in a 3 slot bed)

We finally got a successor to Snowrunner. Apparently these are some of the new features and improvements:

• Drones for scouting the environment
• Finer selection of single "items" you want to take along on the roof carrier
• Placeable anchor to connect the winch to
• Actual properties of winch-rope like maximum length, load capacity and material
• "Augmented Display" for detection devices that show results in the world

What we likely won't get but have asked for for years:

• More realistic and usable gearboxes, manual gearboxes

Also the steam page says "Single Player" only but I never played multiplayer anyways.

So, something I found in British Columbia: Two truck rescue tasks. In Duncan Bay, there's a Ford CLT to rescue. It's stuck in a swamp. In North Peak National Park, there's an International Trans Star stuck in a swamp. The story with the Trans Star ends with the sentence, "I wish I was as good a driver as you!" Yeah, sure. It's either a joke or the devs want players to try driving these "highway trucks" in British Columbia so they get stuck.

From what I've seen so far, you have a lot of road repairs to do. The first map has a TON of watchtowers to open!

This is not mine, but am reposting it.

A lot of truck DLCs get some hateful reviews on Steam. The Western Star Wolf Pack is one of them. I've been driving the Western Star 47X NF 1424 and it is seriously OP for Alaska. I can predict that it will be useful on harder DLC maps, even the dreaded Kola Peninsula or Amur. I'm thinking about using the truck with the sleeper cab to do the contracts with the rig semi-trailers in Alaska to see what happens. That one couldn't be OP, right? My first play through I used the Derry Longhorn, so I don't know.

I love this map. It feels like such a change of pace from some of the previous ones. I just wish you didn't have to drive through the creek to the first warehouse so many times lol..

On my second play through I decided to play regions in order, not allowing myself to go to the next region until l finish the previous one. If you decide to play this way you get to level 20 when you 100% Michigan, which I think is pretty cool. I did not know this because on my first play through I jumped around for upgrades.

I'm replaying the game on a second save. Alaska might be my favorite region in the base game, now. It even rewards you when you drive at night. Lots of things to see by day and by night.
