What is Trailcraft Cargo?
Trailcraft Cargo is a 3D delivery driving game for the browser in which you load a small electric truck and drive its crates along valley roads to a delivery arch. Each of the 24 contracts splits into a longer Safe road with gentle bends and a shorter Express road with tighter turns and hazards such as ice, crosswinds, fords and rolling logs. Nine milestone deliveries switch on a piece of the valley for good, from a solar charging station to a mountain radio beacon.

How do you play Trailcraft Cargo?
Load the truck, pick a road and deliver every crate. On the dispatch screen choose Safe or Express, then drag crates into the 2 × 3 bed or tap Auto arrange: heavy crates belong on the bottom row, nothing may ride on a fragile crate and the long crate only fits the bottom row. Drive with ↑ or W, steer with ← → or A D, brake with ↓ or S; on a touch screen use the steering pad and the Drive and Brake buttons. Sharp turns, bumps and gusts tip crates off: stop and repack them. Park inside the delivery arch, below about 5 km/h, before the time runs out.
Tips & strategy
- Brake before a bend, not inside it: the load leans with how hard the truck turns, so a slow entry keeps crates aboard.
- Put the heaviest crate on the bottom row. A heavier crate on a lighter one makes its whole column tip 8 degrees sooner.
- Keep the straps on from M04: they add 6 degrees before a crate falls, and the two strap upgrades add 6 and 5 more.
- On the ice of M23 brake much earlier: grip is about a quarter of the dry road's, so stopping takes nearly three times as far.
- If crates fall, repack straight away: each fallen crate costs 2.5 seconds, while a reset to the last checkpoint costs 10.
- Read both route cards first: Express is about 12% shorter, but its gravel, gusts or ice cost more time than they save at speed.

Trailcraft Cargo FAQ
What happens when a crate falls off in Trailcraft Cargo?
The truck brakes to a stop and a Repack button appears. Repacking puts every fallen crate back in its slot and adds 2.5 seconds per crate to your time, and each repack takes 18% off the care part of the score. Cargo is never lost for good.
Does it matter where the heavy crates go in Trailcraft Cargo?
Yes. A crate sitting on a lighter crate makes its whole column top-heavy, which lowers the tilt it survives by 8 degrees, and the middle and top rows sway more than the bottom one. The balance meter on the dispatch screen rates the load Stable, Watch turns or Unbalanced before you leave.
What is the difference between the Safe and Express roads?
Both roads leave the same depot and meet again before the same delivery arch. The Safe road is about 12% longer and 7.5 m wide with broad bends; the Express road is 6.25 m wide, takes tighter chicanes and carries the contract's hazards, such as loose gravel, crosswinds, fords or ice.
What do the straps do in Trailcraft Cargo?
Strapped crates survive 6 more degrees of tilt and are shaken less by bumps. The first three contracts fasten the straps for you; from M04 the Straps button on the dispatch screen lets you choose, and two garage upgrades add another 6 and 5 degrees.
What do the deliveries unlock in Trailcraft Cargo?
Every delivery opens the next contract, and nine milestone deliveries switch on a piece of the valley for good: the solar charging station after M01, the repair bench after M03 and so on up to the mountain radio beacon after M24. Coins from deliveries buy optional garage upgrades.
Can Trailcraft Cargo be finished without upgrades?
Yes. Every Safe road was tested with the stock truck, and the paint and rim upgrades never change handling or score. Upgrades such as All-Path Tires or the Climb Motor make the Express roads easier.
How do you get three stars on a Trailcraft Cargo contract?
Score at least 930 of 1,000 points. The delivery itself is worth 500, finishing within half the target time adds the full 250 time bonus, and a run without repacks or resets keeps all 250 care points.
What happens when the time limit runs out?
The contract pauses with no coins or stars, and you can try again at once or pick the other road. Time limits run from 2:00 on M01 to 5:12 on M24, a little over twice each contract's target time.
