Truck Driver News

Hello everyone!

Meet new people
Truck Driver is all about meeting different people that could really use the services of a trucker to achieve their goals. One of these people is lumberyard owner Sven, who has a hard time letting people into his life. By successfully completing transport jobs for Sven, his trust can be earned, resulting in new jobs with different sorts of cargo. Helping him with his transport needs will visibly make his company grow bigger and bigger.

Career progress
In addition to earning respect, completing jobs also results in more money for the player. Drivers can use this money to revamp their trucks with tons of different parts, customising the look and performance of their truck to better help clients such as Sven. By taking on jobs from Sven and other local business owners, Truck Drivers can also unlock lots of skills, passives and rewards. These unlockables result in useful enhancements such as improved tire durability or the possibility to drive longer without having to rest. In sum, Truck Driver offers everything drivers need to take the road to success!

Hi all!

It's Marten here with a very important question for all of you! As you know, we're in Closed Beta testing right now. In the meantime, we're exploring the possibilites of adding mod support to Truck Driver on PC.

As you might know, mods range from all sorts of categories, from mission builders to skins & models and whole new maps. We'd love to have support for all of the possible sorts, but there's only so much we can do.

That's why I want to ask you today, what kind of mod support would you like to see in Truck Driver on PC? We'd love to know what you'd like, but I can't promise anything about mods in Truck Driver at this point. This is just to explore our options and to prevent us working on stuff you might not even want in the game at all. That being said, let me know in the comments down below!

Have a great day y'all!
