Game Interface
Game Interface
Status Bar
The status bar provides essential information about your lorry, fatigue, time and
money.
The total amount of money you have, in pounds £.
Indicates how tired you are. If the eye is nearly closed,

you need to get some rest as soon as you can.
The condition of your lorry and your cargo. The more red
you see, the more your lorry or cargo is damaged. Note
that the damage will influence the lorry's performance!
And cargo damage will affect your reputation and
income.
The current game time (different from the real world

time or your system time).
Job Info Panel
The job info panel provides details about your current delivery. It is only displayed
when you are on a job.
The name of the city where you need to deliver the

cargo.
The company to which you are delivering your cargo.
The type of cargo you are transporting.
The delivery time when the cargo must be delivered.
The progress bar which indicates the remaining time left

to complete your delivery on time.
In this example you are delivering furniture to the Transinet company in

Sheffield. The cargo must be delivered before 22:49.

Game Interface
Gauges
The gauges reflect the current state of your vehicle. In Inside (default) view they
are integrated into the cabin's interior – they are a part of the fully functional
dashboard. In the remaining views the gauges appear in the lower right corner of
the screen.
Guide Map
The guide map shows your location in the UK, your lorry is always in the centre.
You can toggle it (the default key M) between two zoom levels – high and low, or
you can switch it off completely. The high zoom level is most useful for cities as
the streets are shown in detail. The low zoom level allows you to see further
ahead, which may be helpful when you hit the motorways again.

Game Interface
The markers on the map:
"You are here" marker – this is your current location.
Destination marker – very useful as it shows where in the city

the cargo should be delivered.
Services (cities only) – here you can rest, repair or tune your
lorry.
Cargo depot (cities only) – here you may find new jobs and
deliver your goods.
any company logo
Petrol station – here you can refuel or rest.
Road designation.
Lorry dealer – here you can buy new lorries.
Garage available for purchase.
A small garage you own.
A big (upgraded) garage you own.
Recruitment agency – here you can hire a new driver for your
fleet.
Wing Mirrors
You can toggle the on-screen wing mirrors on or off as you wish (with F2 key by
default).
Warning: On less powerful computers driving with the wing mirrors on could
result in a considerable slow down. If your system barely meets the minimum
system requirements consider turning the mirrors off when you don't need them.
On-Screen Messages
While driving, you will receive various important messages. They will provide you
with helpful information including all sorts of notifications and helpful hints.

Gameplay
Gameplay
You start the game as an employee of the cargo transportation company of your
choice. You will be assigned a lorry and you will be given instructions on what to
do next. Every time you finish your delivery your employer will automatically plan
and assign a new job to you, just like in real life. Later in the game you may get
the opportunity to change your employer, which may improve your working terms
a little, but generally you will still be following orders.
While employment certainly has its advantages - paid expenses, no need for
burdening yourself with delivery planning, free lorry at your disposal - it's only a
starting point, so you can earn some initial capital and then buy yourself your own
lorry. After a time you will probably realize that your professional development has
ground to a halt - you will not be gaining any more reputation, you will be driving
around the same places all the time and the reward for the work could have been
higher - and that you could be doing much better working for yourself. At that
point, once you buy yourself a lorry, you will become an independent driver who
will be making his own fortune in the trucking world. It will take some courage to
go it alone, but it will be well worth it!
Going independent will open up a whole new world to you. You will be able to buy
garages across the country, fill them with lorries and even start up your own
transportation company! As you grow and expand, you will attract more and more
logistics companies which will want to work with you. In time you may build the
biggest transportation company in the UK or you may go bankrupt! That will be up
to you.
Cargo Transportation
You will earn money by transporting cargo. A single delivery

is simply called a job. When you decide to take on a job,
find a cargo terminal with the Job offer marker, drive over
the marker and stop. An offer to negotiate a delivery will
then appear.
As an employee you will not be able to choose which job to
take. You will be always assigned one automatically.
The cargo terminals may in turn be either a starting point,
where you can accept new jobs, or the final destination, to
which you will deliver your cargo. Each depot belongs to a
Job Offer
single logistics company. Some companies may only receive
goods (e.g. Kaarfor, SellPlan), others are both a supplier as
well as a receiver of goods. No company is purely a supplier.
This means that you will be able to eventually deliver to
every cargo terminal in the game, but you will only be able
to accept jobs at some of them.

Gameplay
Accepting A Job
When you become an independent driver, you will be able to select a job from the
available offers.
Once you reach the negotiation table - the job offer screen - you will need to select
a cargo from the list on the right half of the screen. The prices of the offers are
fixed, you cannot bargain for them, but they are based on the distance you will
have to drive.
Each job has a different urgency condition. The urgency condition determines the
duration of the job's delivery window, i.e. the time span for which the
destination warehouse will be expecting you. Basically, the longer the window, the
more time you will be allowed to spend on the delivery. The urgency is
represented by these icons:
Normal – two hours delivery window
Challenging – one hour delivery window
Hard – half an hour delivery window

Gameplay
As an employee, you will face only the jobs with Normal urgency. As an
independent driver, you will get the chance to take on more difficult deliveries.
Think carefully though, you might want to upgrade your lorry before you face the
harder challenges.
Cargo is also classified into several ADR classes (European Agreement concerning
the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road). The game uses a
simplified system to classify how dangerous the cargo is:
Non-dangerous goods
Class 3 – Substances presenting low danger (e.g. diesel, petrol)
Class 2 – Substances presenting medium danger (e.g. acids, chemicals)
Class 1 – Substances presenting high danger (e.g. hot chemicals)
The transportation of more dangerous goods calls for a more experienced driver
and offers a better payday. However, you will have to first obtain an expensive
ADR certificate to be allowed to transport such goods – there is a different
certificate for each different ADR class. An icon by each cargo indicates which ADR
class it belongs to. If you do not own the proper certificate, you will be able to
obtain it by clicking on the restricted goods and confirming the dialogue that
appears.
After accepting a job by pressing the "Accept

Cargo" button, it will be time to attach the trailer.
Usually, it will be placed just in front of you and it
will be marked by an animated arrow pointing at it
from above. To attach the trailer you will need to
reverse the back of your lorry under the trailer's
front. A message should appear asking you to
confirm that you want to attach the trailer.
Note: This can be a difficult task. Try to experiment with the various available
camera views to find a suitable one - top-down view is the easiest, while the in-
cabin view using only wing mirrors is the most realistic.
Cargo Delivery
By taking the job you will commit to deliver the trailer to its
destination on time. If you forget where you are supposed to
deliver the cargo consult the Job info panel. For convenience the
destination is marked on your map with a red circle.
Don't forget to check the Job info panel to see how long you
have left to deliver your cargo on time. If the progress bar
reaches the end, you will be late and you will be penalized by

Gameplay
your pay being reduced by up to 50% and suffering a major

reputation loss.
Once you've reached the unloading depot, you will need to

reverse your trailer into the transparent red box. When you
have parked successfully a message will appear with an
offer to detach your trailer.
Unloading Dock
Having completed your job you will receive your reward and some reputation
points. As an employee, you will be paid only the profit share - a modest
percentage of the total amount of money your employer will receive for completing
the job. However, your expenses on fuel, damage repairs and emergency calls will
be fully covered. As an independent driver, you will get the whole sum, but any
costs associated with your journey will need to be paid from your own pocket. The
reputation increase will be based on the distance driven.
Damaging your cargo or delivering the goods after the deadline will lower your
financial and reputation reward. Traffic offences will lower your reputation even
further.
Canceling A Job
If you are an independent driver, you may choose to take a new job before your
current job is completed. In this case, it is considered that you have abandoned
the current job, which will come at a price - you will be required to pay
compensation and your reputation will be severely damaged.
There's no option to cancel your current job during an employment.
Day-To-Day Life
Game Time
UK Truck Simulator has its own time cycle which runs considerably faster than real
time. Also, the time compression ratio will be different depending on whether you
are driving outside or inside a city. When the notion of time is mentioned in this
manual, the accelerated (fictional) game time is meant. The only case when real
time is considered is when speaking of the duration of playing.

Gameplay
Traffic Rules
You should obey all the traffic rules:
1. Do not crash into other vehicles; moving or parked.

2. Respect the red lights.
3. Do not drive in the wrong direction.
4. Mind the speed limit especially 30 mph in the cities and 60 mph on the
motorways.
5. Keep your headlights on at night, just as other vehicles do.
6. Rest when you are tired. You are not allowed to drive for more than 11 hours
without a rest.
Breaking traffic laws will be penalized by fines. They will be reported immediately –
if you get a fine, an on-screen message will appear. The traffic offences will also
result in penalization by negative reputation points, which could slow your
progress significantly. The reputation penalties will stack up and will be paid
automatically upon completing your next job. So be careful.
Resting
You should rest after every 11 hours (of game time) of

driving. Otherwise you will experience nasty dozing-off
effects and you might get fined for breaking regulations.
Just check your sleep meter from time to time, you will be
warned in advance to find a place to rest. Such places can
be found at any petrol station, hotel, service, or loading
dock.
Resting Place
Fuel Refilling
As you drive, eating up those miles with your lorry, you

will need to stop and refuel. Keep an eye on your fuel
gauge and when it drops too low, refill at the nearest
petrol station. Be warned that although the petrol stations
are quite numerous, if you do not plan your stops carefully,
you might end up stranded with an empty tank in the
middle of nowhere. If such a situation should occur, the
only way out is to call the SOS service from your notebook.
Filling Pump

Gameplay
Damage Repairs
If you crash into something, your lorry will get damaged

and your cargo might get damaged as well. While you will
not be able to do anything for the cargo, you will be able to
repair your lorry. Look for a Service marker, drive to it and
activate it to initiate the repair dialogue. Remember, your
employer will cover your expenses, but once you are on
your own, you'll pay for it yourself. If your lorry gets
damaged too badly and you do not get it repaired, your
lorry's performance will be severely affected - it will
Service become slower and more difficult to handle.
Game Over
The game can be played indefinitely; there is no grand finale where you will be
able to claim to have won, there is no singular victory condition. Unless you
bankrupt your business to lose the game, you will be free to roam throughout the
game world indefinitely. However, there are several criteria that will indicate your
progress through the game - your progress through reputation levels, expanding
your company to all UK cities, or gaining access to all logistics companies in the
game. Each of them can be considered a victory in its own right.
Improving Your Lorry
When you become independent, you will be able to buy yourself new lorries and
upgrade them. As an employee, you will be driving an assigned company lorry
which you will not be allowed to upgrade.
Buying A New Lorry
To buy a new lorry you will need to go to the Lorry dealer

and see what he has to offer. However, you will need to
discover its location first.
At the beginning of the game you won't know where any of

the lorry dealers are located, though almost every city will
have one. On your travels look for the animated marker
with the question mark. If you see it, drive over it and the
marker will change to the lorry shape. From that moment
on you will be able to buy lorries from there, which will now
be marked on your map. This is how you can discover all
the lorry dealers in the game.

Gameplay
By activating the marker you will be able to preview the

lorries available for purchase. Make sure to visit during
opening hours - on working days that's between 8:00 and
18:00 - otherwise you will not be let in. The selection of
lorries on show will be rather limited, because different lorry
dealers in different cities specialize in various lorry brands
and lorry classes, and they will never offer you more than a
few vehicles at once. Also, the price of lorries may differ
greatly based on the lorry class - at first, only the lowest
Lorry Dealer grade C class vehicles will be affordable to you, but later
you will probably prefer more powerful, luxurious and much
more expensive A class lorries.
Before you start buying, you ought to know that unless you
have a garage, you will not be able to own more than one
lorry at a time. You may, of course, exchange your current
vehicle for a new one if you can afford it; you will even get
a trade-in value for your used lorry. Later, when you have
acquired one or more garages, you will be able to buy
additional lorries up to your garage capacity and send them
to park there, or better yet, have them make money for you
on the road by hiring drivers to operate them.
Upgrading
You may also upgrade your lorry at the Service garage,

which you will be able to find in every city. Upgrades
include: increasing the power of your engine, tuning the
engine to decrease fuel consumption, improving lorry
handling or even changing the colour of your cabin.
Note that if you are an employee you will not be allowed to

upgrade the company lorry!
Running Your Own Company
Once you've become independent, you will be able to start your own
transportation company. Buy a garage that will serve as your office and
headquarters, hire drivers that will work for you, and buy them lorries so they will
have something to drive with and make you money. You won't need much to begin
with, but it will take a lot to build the greatest, prosperous company in the UK. To
be successful you will need to expand to other cities by establishing more branch
offices, and to constantly grow and upgrade your driver fleet, so it will be able to
be even more efficient and profitable.

Gameplay
Buying Garages
Every company needs an office - a place where its

employees can gather and where it can store its property.
Since in this game you are working in the lorry driving
business, your offices will also serve as garages for the
lorries you own. To buy a garage go to any city and find
the marker with an animated pile of coins, this shows that
the building is for sale. Drive over the marker to initiate the
purchase dialogue.
Garage For Sale
Once you've bought at least one garage, you will be able to

start filling it with lorries and hired drivers. A newly bought
garage will become your small branch office that will fit only
two employees and two lorries. You will have to come to
your office and drive inside it to be able to check on your
drivers' progress, or to give them further instructions. This
is not very practical if you are planning on growing a busy,
large company, you should upgrade your small office to a
bigger one at the earliest opportunity. Your Office
In your garage you will be able to refuel and repair your

lorries. This will give you a big advantage and save you
some money as it's 20% cheaper to have your company's
mechanics look after your equipment rather than using
public services.
To upgrade your office either

visit it or open the company
management interface in your
notebook. Click on the garage in
question on the map on the
management screen and select
"Upgrade" from the context
menu that will appear. After
paying the cost, your small office
will become your headquarters
and will be able to accommodate up to five employees and lorries. Establishing
headquarters will also enable you to manage your company remotely from the
notebook. You will be able to hire drivers, buy lorries, or relocate them to your
other offices directly from your management screen.
You may upgrade all of your small offices in this manner.

Gameplay
Buying Company Lorries
Before you hire any drivers you should make sure you have enough lorries for
them in your garage. A driver without a lorry will not work, but he will still take
his pay!
You buy lorries for your company in the same way you would buy a lorry for
yourself - at the lorry dealer; you will just need to send it to your garage
afterwards. You will need to have a free space in your garage to do so otherwise
you will have to trade in one of your existing lorries.
Later, when you have established your headquarters, you will have the option to
buy lorries online through the management interface in your notebook or from
your headquarters.
Hiring Drivers
If you have acquired a company office and a few company

lorries, it is time to hire some drivers to start earning you
money. You can find employees through the Recruitment
agencies that are located in the majority of cities. At first,
you will not know where they are, but you can find them by
looking for the animated markers with the question mark
along the road and driving over them. It is similar to
discovering lorry dealers. If the marker's shape changes to
a globe with a magnifying glass, you have discovered a
Recruitment agency, which will be now marked on your
map.
The recruitment agency will offer you a selection of drivers

of various skill. A one star driver will ask for a small wage,
but they will only generate a small income and often
damage the equipment. On the other hand, a five star
driver will want a much higher wage, but he will drive more
carefully and efficiently. In the beginning you will
encounter mostly drivers with a lower trucking skill. With
time, as your reputation grows, you will attract more and
more skilled employees.
Recruitment
Agency

Gameplay
After you have made your selection, you

will need to assign the driver to a garage.
Select a free slot in the garage of your
choice and press "Hire". The driver will
travel to the assigned garage by himself,
and if there's an available lorry in the slot
directly above him, he will occupy it and
begin working right away. If you want to
assign a different lorry to the driver, just
swap the slots so the assigned lorry will be
placed directly above the driver. A driver will always be associated with the lorry
in the slot above him.
Later, when you have established a headquarters, you will have the option to hire
the drivers online through the management interface in your notebook or from
your headquarters.
Managing Your Company
Your drivers, if they have lorries assigned, will find work themselves. You won't
need to point them to every job. It is still worth keeping an eye on overall garage
efficiency from time to time though, as improving the lorry fleet and employing
more skilled drivers can significantly boost your revenues.

Gameplay
Notebook
The notebook is an indispensable aid on your travels and it also presents a

convenient way to check on your business status. It contains a navigation map,
cargo planner, your company status, mail box, and it keeps track of your career as
well as your overall game progress. From here, if you find yourself in trouble, you
can also call the SOS emergency service.
Note that the cargo planner and the interface through which you can manage your
company are not accessible while you are an employee.
Navigation Map
The navigation map represents your driving atlas with three different levels of
detail. Zoom in or out using the icons in the lower right corner of the screen or the
scroll wheel on your mouse.
If you are on a job, a thick red line shows you the shortest route between your
current position and your destination.

Gameplay
Cargo Planner
The cargo planner allows you to plan your jobs better. On this screen you can view
and compare all the job offers available to you in the entire country at the
moment.
It is not available while you are an employee, since your employer does the plans
for you.
Company Management
Your company management interface allows you to manage your garages, lorries
and hired drivers remotely. It is available only if you own at least one upgraded
garage, which may serve as your headquarters, and that means you have to be
independent.
Mail Box
Your mail box receives emails from your friends, employers and various
companies. They might be simple pieces of information or important offers with
discounts, so read them carefully. You will recognize new, read, accepted and
expired mails by these icons:
New, unread message.
Read message.
Accepted offer.
Expired offer.
Statistics
On the statistics page of your notebook you can follow your progress through the
game, main statistics information and driving log.
Emergency Service
If you run out of fuel on the road, damage the lorry so badly that it can hardly
move, get your lorry overturned or stuck in a place that you cannot free yourself
from, your only option is to call the SOS emergency service from your notebook.
When you work as an employee, the SOS emergency service is covered by your
employer. Later, when you become independent, you will need to pay for it
yourself. The service is expensive and provides you with only basic first aid, just
enough to get you moving again so you can drive to a proper service station. So
before you call, think twice about whether you really need it.
