Stack crates in an electric pickup, choose the safe road or the risky shortcut, and corner gently enough that nothing tips. 24 valley deliveries.
What is Trailcraft Cargo?
Trailcraft Cargo is a 3D delivery driving game where you pack crates into a small electric pickup and haul them across a valley without tipping the load. You arrange 2 to 6 crates on a 2-by-3 bed, choose between a calmer, longer Safe Route and a shorter Express Route full of gravel, logs and ice, then drive so the stack never leans past its limit. Its 24 contracts run through Sunlit Meadows, Copper Canyon and Misty Highlands, and each delivery switches on a new piece of the valley.

How to play Trailcraft Cargo
Goal: Stop inside the delivery arch with every crate still aboard before the contract's time limit runs out.
- Place crates on the 2-by-3 bed: each one needs a crate under it, nothing goes on a fragile crate, and the long crate lies on the bottom row.
- Pick the Safe Route for fewer hazards or the Express Route for a shorter road, then press Secure & Drive.
- Drive with W or ↑, steer with A D or ← →, and brake with S or ↓; Space pulls the handbrake.
- Watch the Stability readout on bends and bumps, and slow down before the load leans too far.
- Roll into the arch below walking pace and hold still for a moment to finish the delivery.

Tips & tricks
- Put the 34 kg heavy crates on the bottom row: a crate riding on a lighter one drops that column's tipping angle by 8 degrees.
- Crates only fall while the truck moves at 3 m/s or more, so crawl through a sharp bend when the stack is already leaning.
- From M04, leave the straps on: they add 6 degrees before anything tips, and the Quick-Lock and Tensioner upgrades add 6 and 5 more.
- For the full 250-point time bonus, finish in half the target time; the bonus shrinks to nothing at 1.5 times the target.
- Fragile crates on board and ice on the map? Every hazard sits on the Express Route, so the Safe Route's extra 12 percent of road is worth it.
- A repack costs 2.5 s per fallen crate and 18 percent of the care score; a checkpoint reset costs 10 s and 8 percent, so pick whichever loses less.
Frequently asked questions
How do you complete a delivery in Trailcraft Cargo?
By parking inside the arch. The truck has to stop within the 5 m delivery arch, below 1.5 m/s, and stay there for 0.4 seconds with every crate still in the bed. The HUD prompts you with Stop inside the arch, and a delivery that misses the time limit pauses the contract without a reward.
How hard can you corner in Trailcraft Cargo before crates fall?
Up to a lean of about 23 degrees on an unstrapped stack. The load leans with every bit of sideways or braking force, and higher rows sway more. A crate falls once it stays past its limit for a quarter of a second while you drive at 3 m/s or faster, and the crates above it go with it.
Does wind push the load in Trailcraft Cargo when you stop?
No. A gust has no effect on the load of a stopped truck, and its push grows with speed up to 6 m/s. On the windy contracts, M10 and M15, the safest answer to a strong gust is simply to slow right down.
What weather shows up in Trailcraft Cargo?
Each condition belongs to a specific contract: dew on M06, wind on M10 and M15, a shaded tunnel on M13, rain on M18, fog on M20, lantern-lit dusk on M21, and frost and ice on M23. Wet planks, ice and shallow water also cut tyre grip wherever they appear.
How many coins does a Trailcraft Cargo contract pay?
Between 52 and 213 coins the first time you clear it, depending on the contract, plus a one-off 20 for your very first delivery. Replaying a finished contract pays a quarter of that, so new contracts are the fastest way to save for garage upgrades.
Which regions are in Trailcraft Cargo?
Three: Sunlit Meadows (M01 to M07), Copper Canyon (M08 to M16) and Misty Highlands (M17 to M24). Along the way, nine milestones switch on for good, starting with a solar charging station at M01 and ending with a mountain radio beacon at M24.
