Trucking - Night City Freight

Drive big rigs across the county. Take a contract, hitch the trailer, haul it and back it into the dock. Long hauls up
north are where the money is.

How to start

  1. Go to the Night City Freight pin on Elysian Island (the docks) and press E on Hank, the dispatcher.
  2. Choose Start shift. Work clothes go on, and your company cab is waiting in the yard.
  3. Open the contract board: the Operations board in the talk screen, or /truckboard from anywhere while on shift.
  4. Press Take on a contract. The pickup yard is on your GPS.

A haul, step by step

  1. Pick up: drive to the yard and back the cab under the trailer (gold arrow above it). It hitches by itself.
  2. Haul: the dock is on your GPS. The HUD shows the distance, the trailer's condition and the time left.
  3. Weigh station (random): when the HUD says WEIGH STATION, pull onto the scale, stop and press E. Skipping it

costs a $250 fine when you deliver.

  1. Deliver: back the trailer into the bay (the circle turns green when it is lined up and stopped) and press E

(from the driver seat, or on foot if you unhitched).

  1. Take the next contract from the board. When you are done, finish the shift at the dispatcher (or from the board).

Contracts

The board always has 6-10 contracts that roll over every 15-25 minutes. Each shows the cargo, the route, the distance,
how far you are from the pickup, the estimated pay and its flags:

FlagWhat it means
ExpressTight deadline: x1.25 on time, x0.8 late
FragileTakes double damage from knocks (tie-down straps help)
OversizeLogs, car carriers: keep it under 80 km/h or the load shifts
HazardousFuel and chemical tankers: Long-Haul Driver tier + a CDL (DMV). Roll it over and it spills

Pay

  • Pay = kilometres x cargo rate x condition x on-time, plus 2 km of handling on every load.
  • Base $18 per km. Cargo rates go from x1.0 (groceries) to x1.6 (chemicals).
  • Condition: knocks, crashes and bumps lower it; deliver above 98% for a +5% spotless bonus.
  • Normal loads lose 15% when late, express loads have a tight clock but pay x1.25 on time.
  • Shift target 50 km: everything after pays overtime x1.5. Hit the target and clock out for a $250 bonus

($200 less if the cab isn't back at the yard).

  • Your career tier adds up to +30%, VIP adds its bonus.
  • Co-driver: crews are up to 2. If your co-driver rides along for the haul you both get paid (x1.1 each), and either

of you can drive. Someone who stays behind gets no cut.

Rewards shop (Haul Points)

  • Coffee, Energy Drink, Sandwich - for the long nights.
  • Tie-Down Straps - used up on a fragile or oversize load: far less damage.
  • CB Radio - keep it on you: weigh-station checks show the moment you hitch, and you hear when police are near your rig.
  • Air Ride Seat - keep it on you: your loads lose 20% less condition while you drive.
  • Tire Repair Kit, Jerry Can, Rig Repair Kit - for breakdowns out in the county.
  • Trucker Cap + Flannel, Owner-Operator Jacket - work looks.

Tips

  • Chain your contracts: pick one whose pickup is close to where you just delivered (the board shows "km to pickup").
  • Paleto, Sandy Shores, Grapeseed, the quarry and the airport runs pay the most per minute.
  • Your cab needs fuel on long hauls. Fill up before you head north.

Commands

  • /truckboard - contract board (on shift)
  • /truckgps - GPS to your current pickup, weigh station or dock

Staff

  • /truckingplace <key> - move the dispatcher, the cab bay, a yard (y_port, y_sawmill, ...) or a weigh station

(w_senora, ...) to where you stand. Face the way the trailer should point - delivery checks the trailer lines up.

  • /truckingplaces - every place on your map for 2 minutes. F9 -> Jobs -> Civilian jobs -> Trucking can move/disable them.
  • /truckingboard - reroll the contract board. /truckinghauls - every active contract (stage, condition, flagged).
  • /truckinglevel, /truckingpoints, /truckingcrews, /truckingendshift <crew>, /truckingoutfit save|reset <key>.
  • Suspicious deliveries (too fast, not really driven, teleports) are not paid and go to the Discord jobs log in red.
