🚚 Long Haul — a trucker career

Ten levels of rabbit-hole freight work, from shunting trailers in the yard to running your own fleet. Long hours, proper money, and a truck that is either somebody else's problem or entirely yours. 🛻

Base Game Compatible. No packs required, all packs supported.

🛣️ Ten levels

The hours get genuinely brutal through the middle — 13 hour shifts starting at four in the morning and then ease off at the top once other people are doing the driving. That is the shape of the job. ⏰

📒 The logbook

Your promotion task is Keep your logbook up to date. Click your Sim at home and choose Check the logbook, drivers do their paperwork between runs, not behind the wheel.

It is also where you actually see how the job is going: your level, the state of the truck, total miles, and what you have earned against what the road has taken back off you. 📖

🔑 Buy your own rig

From Long Haul Driver upward, click your Sim and choose Buy my own rig for 26,000 Simoleons. It changes the entire economy of the career.

It pays for itself in roughly 31 twelve-hour runs at Long Haul Driver, and about 16 at Fleet Owner. Sell up whenever you like the dealer's offer scales with the state you kept it in. 💵

🔧 The truck wears out

Owned rigs lose condition with every mile, and different things start going wrong as they do:

Every one of them is the same choice: pay now, or risk it. Risking it sometimes works. When it does not, the bill is two to three times the repair, the truck loses more condition and the load is very late and the worse the rig already is, the worse those odds get. 😬

🛞 Out on the road

Road events reach everyone. Weigh stations, DOT inspections, weather over the pass, tight delivery windows, deer in the beams, closed bridges, shifted loads, and nowhere to park with your hours nearly up. Most are a real choice with a cost either way.

Company drivers never pay for damage but they still take the performance hit, lose the time, and lose the sleep. 😴

Every shift ends with a plain summary of where the money actually went.

🛡️ Built to stay out of the way

• ✅ Rabbit hole career, the way the base game careers work

• ✅ Fully translated

• ✅ Saved per save game — your rig, miles and money never bleed between saves

• ✅ Base game. No packs, no XML Injector, no other mods needed

💻 Install

Drop both files into your Mods folder:

• LongHaul.package

• LongHaul.ts4script

Turn on Enable Custom Content and Mods and Script Mods Allowed in Game Options → Other, then restart.

⚠️ Script mods only load one folder deep — Mods/LongHaul/ is perfect, Mods/Scripts/Mine/LongHaul/ will not load.

Then hire on through the phone or computer, same as any career. Adults, young adults and elders can drive.

Thank you so much for the support, it genuinely keeps these coming. 💖
