Walkthrough
- 1Accepting Missions: Special Transport jobs are found in the 'Special Transport' tab of the job market. They are typically high-paying but have strict requirements.
- 2Cargo Characteristics: These loads are exceptionally long, wide, heavy, or fragile. They often have escort vehicles that help clear the path and warn other traffic.
- 3Route Planning: Carefully examine the route before accepting. Some routes may involve narrow passages, tight turns, or low bridges that are difficult to navigate with oversized cargo.
- 4Driving Techniques: Drive slowly and smoothly. Avoid sudden acceleration or braking. Use your mirrors extensively and be mindful of the trailer's swing.
- 5Escort Vehicles: Pay attention to the escort vehicles. They will signal when to stop or proceed and may help guide you through difficult sections. Do not hit them.
- 6Damage: Any damage to the cargo will significantly reduce your payout. Be extremely cautious when maneuvering.
- 7Time Limits: While not always strict, some missions may have implied time constraints. Prioritize safety and careful driving over speed.
Tips
- Scout the Route: If possible, drive the route beforehand without a trailer to identify potential hazards.
- Use Slow Gears: Utilize lower gears for better control, especially on descents and ascents.
- Camera Views: Experiment with different camera angles to get the best visibility of your trailer and surroundings.
- Parking: Parking these oversized loads can be the most challenging part. Take your time and use multiple camera views.
- Truck Choice: Use a powerful truck with good torque, but ensure it's not too long, which can make maneuvering harder.
- DLC Specifics: Each Special Transport DLC (e.g., Special Transport, Heavy Cargo Pack) may have unique cargo types and route challenges.
