In today's blog, we are revealing the new routes coming with our upcoming
South Dakota map expansion, where owners of the
Special Transport DLC will be able to take on the challenge of hauling oversized cargo. So let's take a closer look!
As you know, transporting cargo of this size is no small task. Its large scale requires not only escort vehicles and police assistance, but also special routes that are wide and spacious enough for your truck to safely pass through, helping ensure a smooth delivery. Of course, successful drivers are also adequately compensated for the responsibility that comes with maneuvering such a colossal load!
Are you one of the most skilled drivers ready to take on the challenge? If so, and you own the
Special Transport DLC, you can find jobs offering the opportunity to haul oversized cargo on these three routes:
Pierre to Spearfish
Winner to Mitchell
Mobridge to Buffalo
There, you will find industries that play an important role in South Dakota's economy and will be glad to put your hauling skills to work! Support the custom quarry depot in Spearfish by delivering equipment from the mining machine service in Pierre, or haul specialized cargo such as a giant silo or large reservoir tank from the agriculture equipment dealer in Winner to a custom farm depot in Mitchell. You can also load up your trailer with a large tank or pipes at the oil service depot in Mobridge and safely deliver them to the warehouse in Buffalo.
We hope you'll enjoy discovering the landscapes of South Dakota as you travel these routes, whether you're hauling oversized cargo or not. But if you do take on a Special Transport job, stay alert - navigating these roads with an extra-large load on your trailer can still get tricky!
We hope you are looking forward to trucking in this state as much as we are. If so, make sure to
add the South Dakota DLC to your Steam wishlist! And if you don't own the Special Transport DLC yet, make sure to
get it on Steam.
