Trucking
Truckers
are the backbone of Transport Tycoon. We’ve developed a complex web of cargoes which allow you to simply sell one at a time, or collect and combine cargoes in multi-point routes for maximum profit!
Be sure to ask around for helpful guides developed by the community. Oh, and we also have custom radio stations! We offer TruckersFM and FreightFM, available in the left-bottom-center area of the radio wheel.

Trucker - Strength Level 1-15
Before doing trucking, you should read the “Getting Started Guide” and check here for a list of trucks’ Carrying Capacities.
Basic Process for cargoes
Go to the Cargo Seller to obtain your cargo, load as much as you can in your vehicle (Don't know how? visit the “Getting Started Guide”) and head to the Cargo Buyer to sell it!
| Trucking Cargo | Strength Level Required |
|---|---|
| Tools | 1 (1kg each) |
| Erasers | 1 (3kg each) |
| Logs ➡ Sawdust | 6 (60kg each) |
| Recycled Trash | 9 (90kg each) |
| Toxic Waste | 11 (110kg each) |
| Recycled Electronics | 13 (130kg each) |
| Quarry Rubble | 15 (150kg each) |
Logs, Recycled Trash, Toxic Waste, Recycled Electronics and Quarry Rubble are all part of more in-depth trucking routes. Make sure to have a look at the Advanced Cargo Routes section.
Logging
Logging is unlocked at level 6, this is the first type of trucking where there are multiple steps in the process.
You want to pick up Logs from the Logging Camp, take the Logs to the Sawmill to turn it into Sawdust or Planks. Both the Sawdust and the Planks can be sold at the LS Port Export or stored in Self Storages to be combined with other items
Recycled Materials Base Process
At level 9 you will unlock Recycled Trash, this can be picked up from the Recycling Center.
You want to take the Recycled Trash to the Sorting Facility to obtain three materials from it.
Plastic can be exported from the McKenzie Export.
Copper and Gold can be refined at the LS Foundry.
Refined Tin and Refined Aluminium is exported from the LS Port Export.
From here, the process will evolve allowing more materials and new combinations of materials. The more steps the process has, the more you will earn from it.
Item descriptions and exploration of the different locations should lead you on to new processes.
This is a flowchart showing one of the Level 13 Electronics processes:
