- 10 tips and tricks to help you in your playthrough!
Step into the boots of an Alaskan Trucker!
Get behind the wheel and drive across the entire state of Alaska with dynamic weather and unpredictable road conditions. Become a trucking legend and get your cargo to its destination on time.
Pick your route across diverse road conditions
Expand and customize your truck collection
Take on different jobs with a huge variety of cargo types
Get out of your truck…
Get your hands dirty with involved, in-depth truck maintenance. Look after your truck, stock up on supplies, and make sure you’re ready for your next journey.
Maintain your truck to keep it on the road
Upgrade your HQ and manage your business
Visit stores and gas stations to pick up essential purchases and fuel
Leave your cab to explore scenic landmarks and soak up the atmosphere
…and survive
Be prepared for what Alaska has to throw at you, expect the unexpected for the journeys which lie ahead.
Manage your health by battling against hunger, fatigue, and the cold
Plot your route and make sure you have the best equipment for the job
Encounter dangers like mud slides, avalanches, fallen trees, and more!
BE A TRUCKER, NOT A TRUCK!
Another tip I’d like to give out is about your inventory space. In your truck you have a few cabinets available. I recommend keeping 1.) buying a chainsaw in case you come across a fallen tree in the road, and 2.) store that chainsaw in one of your cabinets in the truck to save space. Same for any of the truck parts/tools.
More great tips for sure! I could probably make another video on these in the future
And don't forget about the tool box located below the driver's door. Only two spaces but you can use it for things you use frequently and don't want to keep jumping back into the truck for.... like your camera and/or chain saw. Saves on your personal inventory space.
Tomorrow the big day can't wait to play after work
It’s gonna be awesome! Enjoy!
Im loving it so far
Glad to hear! It’s a blast!
I follow the game since it was in development for PC and it did get better and better. I love the additional aspects compared to a regular trucking game and I hope and wish for gamers and developers that it will be a big success. I am totally hyped and hardly can wait to play on my PS 5 - thats for sure. So thanks a lot for all your gameplay and especially this one. Will be a big help for the first steps..... 😊
Thanks for watching! I’ve been playing since it initially released. They have made a TON of improvements in this game. I find it a blast, because it’s not just your typical driving game
Thanks for this guide to sir give me something to look forward to tomorrow for release on consoles
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! It's a blast to play
Thanks for sharing these tips. Looking to grab this game soon
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! It's a fun game
I'm a truck driver. I drove from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay this last winter. It was a crazy blast. Just started playing this game. Couldn't help it
That does sound like it would be interesting to say the least in real life! Glad to hear you seem to be enjoying this so far, it really is a good time!
@ancienthare I'm back home now driving lol. It wasn't for me. But it was a great experience
Looks great. Thanks Can’t wait to play it on Xbox
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tip on the jacket, gonna take a trip up the and grab that cheers 👍🏽
Any time!
Just picked it up last night on series x. It could be a little crispier on the resolution and the framerate could be smoother but its not unplayable at all. Im loving it so far and hope to see some updates to help with optimization. It has so much potential. Also a little more traffic would be nice to make it feel more alive
More traffic would be nice. I’d like to see some other big rigs as well!
Can’t wait amazing video so excited for me and my twin brother get this game on PS5
Thanks for watching! Y'all are going to love it!
This as a multiplayer game or even co op would be amazing!
Totally agree! I know there’s been talk about it, but I haven’t heard anything absolute yet 🤞
@@ancienthare I hope soooooo.
We need to get a hold of the company that maid this and tell them how we feel maybe they will do something
I can assure you the devs are working hard to make this game the best ever. Join the discord, the devs are very active in there. There’s also ways to submit issues and suggestions. This invite link will work for 7 days discord.gg/mJBuyE5Y there’s a lot of helpful people and moderators in there as well
People living in the Nordic countries know how to drive in winter conditions. It really takes getting used to and know-how. For example in Finland: (Winter) November-March. (Spring) April-May. (Summer:) May-September. (Autumn:) September-October. Greetings from Finland. It's better to buy this game cause finally it's a game where there are Nordic seasons in all kinds of weather conditions.🤩
Glad you’re enjoying it! It really is fun to enjoy all of the seasons! I can only imagine the crazy you can get up in Norway.
Hi i cant wait to play thís ón my xbox tomorrow
Nearly there!
@@ancienthareare you doing a video tomorrow
@@patrickmcdonald6065 planning on it. Just trying to figure out what I want to do at the moment
@@ancienthareok
That video helped a lot I got my thermal
The game is very enjoyable and good 👍
Glad to hear you’re enjoying it! So much fun!
That is the best level to start the game
Legendary is the most challenging
We don't have THAT many highways up here, its more a big Triangle.
I’ve seen that! It would make for a boring game though lol.
Great sharing. Sending my support, stay happy and connected, bro❤️👍
Thanks! I truly appreciate that!
Thank you so much for your videos man you help me a lot 👍
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing. Just started playing this game.
Thanks for watching! The game is a blast!
@@ancienthare you’re welcome
would be cool if you could customize your difficulty, like pick easy mode but the hard weather part
Yeah, it would be kinda neat. I wish I could change seasons when I want. It takes sooo long to get back to winter once it’s over lol
Just started thanks for tips really helpful
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Going to play it on hard 👍
You’ll enjoy it! It gives just enough of a challenge
Btw your voice is very quiet. Volume on max and still having trouble hearing you. Still had some great tips!
Directions unclear. Used ferry as ramp. My truck is now a point of Interest.
😂😂😂 That’s awesome! Mark it on the map for me and I’ll come pay my respects later lol
Just bought a class 2 trucks but the engine sound is so loud it drowns out the radio at high speeds. Any way to fix this? Radio and music volume are at 100%
What is the price and I can not wait for it and what time does it come out
I'm not sure about the price. They put info out about it, then took it away. I think everyone will have to wait for release to know the price. As far as what time, it looks like 8 am CST. Hope that helps
Can you do the mirror thing on Xbox? If so how so lol
I was just wondering is there anywhere else I can get a flannel so I can go to ice roads
I tell you where to get the best jacket (Thermo Jacket) in the game in this video at 15:45
I’ve been playing since release. Plan to get it on ps5 on release as well. I plan to do legendary on the console. However I haven’t played legendary career. Is weather different between the difficulty settings?
The weather seems to be more severe way more often. I've seen few sunny and clear days. It seems to be either snowing, raining or super foggy
Does anyone know if the truck has cruise control? If so how to do set it? I find it pretty annoying to constantly keep using the trigger to stay on the gas
No cruise control unfortunately. I’m hoping they add it soon
Is it available in the uk yet as can't see it on the xbox store.
It releases 2 BST
Do I have to be on the game for the season to change
Does anyone know if you lose money when a load is late
Where can i find thermal jacket ? I can‘t find it in any stores ?
One place I know for sure is up where the job sites are for the ice roads. There’s a tiny store up there that has it. There’s a few other places, but I haven’t finished mapping all that out yet
Thanks for tips friend. I’m really enjoying this game 😊
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching! It really is a blast
How do you unlock the chainsaw???
I show you how to unlock the skill at 4:30 in this video. The chainsaw itself can be purchased at stores around the map. The one that I know has it for sure is right next to your HQ. I believe the cashier has it
How does the point system work and do u have to go from class a to class b or can you skip from class a to class c license
You have to unlock them in order
So I have been doing all these deliveries and somehow I am - 57000 so I know how I can make that up fast
Just keep on making deliveries. The money seems to be somewhat better for the long hauls. It also depends on what you're hauling
Is there a way you can get the jobs by how much they pay
That would be a nice feature. It's not in there yet
Hi. Grate video serie.
I have one question. XP. It feels like it will take forewer to lvl upp.
Any tips?
And in the hardest game mode. Do you lvl faster ? Thinking that you will make more repairs…. Is that correct?
Leveling up isn’t fast by any means, even in legendary mode. You can kind of cheat the system with mechanic and personal xp.
Damage the truck intentionally, then do repairs. That’ll help the mechanic levels.
Cooking food, clearing road blocks and taking pictures of points of interest will raise personal xp. You could just cook and waste food to raise that quicker.
Both ways are gonna cost you, but it’s possible. The trucker xp you get for delivering jobs and I believe that’s all.
This might be a good video idea for me to cover in the near future
@@ancienthare yes.
And it feels like its better to go for the shorter distances. It goes alot faster and not SO big diff in xp. Like 170xp vs. 240xp for longer jobbs.
@@jonashagman3631 yeah, I was just realizing that as well. I used to think the long jobs were the way to go.
I’m going to start working on a video after work today and hopefully get it up in the morning. I want to cover all the different ways to gain xp as quick as possible
@@ancienthare grate. Looking forward to it.
Also i want to add if u put energy drink in ur truck fridge u can keep it for the double of time of expiration days i think.. .. and i have one question why everytimes i put oil in mt truck i see a red oil logo, in the guide it says old can leak.. does it break my oil tank everytimes i refill it? I though it means cold old or something and it need to warm.. but i did around 1k miles and it didnt change
You are correct, any type of food item put in the fridge doubles its shelf life.
Make sure when filling oil, you only fill it between the lines. Don't fill it all the way or you'll damage stuff in your truck
@@ancienthare between lines? Omg i didnt even saw that i was making sure it was full.. 🫣🫣🫣🫣 thx you brother see you on the ice road.. well im actually in summer time ingame ..
@@TTV_Dj_Gamer_09 glad I could help. Slight learning curve to the game, but it's a blast!
Does anyone know why after I make a delivery why it keeps putting me in the hole on my money
Are you completing the jobs the correct way? Without seeing what is going on, it's hard to say
@@ancienthare yah
How much money do you start with?
You start with $10k no matter which difficulty you choose.
So I can’t shift past 8th gear on the ps5 am I doing something wrong?
There’s only 8 gears on the tier 1 & 2 trucks. Tier 3 has 9 and tier 4 has 10. The way it’s listed in the truck menu is confusing.
@@ancienthare oh okay that makes a little more sense thank you so much!
@@6969codered you're welcome
Do you know what the icon on the speed number left hand side by the fuel gauge looks like oil
Did you overfill your oil by chance? When filling, only fill between the lines, not all the way.
@@ancienthare no I had that icon come up before. This one right by the gas icon it’s just a line not all the way around it yet but. I was wondering if that’s the oil level
@@georgiaoutlaw9459 oh! That’s your radiator temp. Too high and you’ll over heat…too low and your truck won’t keep you warm enough.
@@ancienthare okay thanks
I was confused it doesn’t tell you about that in the guide lol if it did I didn’t see it
@@georgiaoutlaw9459 if you look at 13:07 in this video, I zoom in on it and explain a bit. The guide can be very confusing lol
How long does each season last?
That’s a good question. I’ll have to do some testing to see…maybe a future video.
Can you buy me a copy? I'm 60 yo disabled. Thanks.
I'm sorry, but I can't do that.
Is the map pretty big or kinda small ?
The map is pretty big. For scale, if I do a job that starts at the very north and deliver to the southern part of the map, it’s about an hour of real time to complete that job.
How do you change the mirrors on ps5?
There should be an option to bring up the extra mirrors. I don't know how to change it on ps5 though. If you're not on their discord already, check it out. It's very active and helpful discord.gg/d2xah6Bm
@@ancienthare To bring up the mirrors on PS5; hold right on the D-pad ... instead of turning on your wipers it brings up the first version of the mirrors. Press again and it brings up the second version. Then press again to return to normal.
@@unclegare9778 Thanks for sharing!
This a cool truck game i already got 21 hours in it just got it two days ago the most I've made was $40,910,81 down to $1200,00 dollars from fixing my truck custom to big foot food and fuel ⛽️ plus speeding tickets 🎟 one expensive speeding ticket was $750.00 the others were $150.00 two and got stuck a couple of times $ 800.00 thats not cheap a few bugs but im enjoy it on my Xbox series x suppose to be an update on Xbox series x they already had an up on Playstation 5 i rate this a 5 out of 10 from Missouri
I feel you, those fines will add up for sure! The game is a blast! Stick with it, the devs are working hard on it. It’s a very small team as well.
Can you buy this on dic ?
It’s currently available on PC, PS5 and Xbox X/S. Not sure what dic is.
How much is this game gonna be??
I don't know the official answer on that. It might not get released until launch
21 quid
Does the mirror trick work on console
It should work as far as I know. I don’t know what button it would be. Check out their discord, there’s a lot of active people in there. Someone might know the exact answer discord.gg/d2xah6Bm

@@unclegare9778 I appreciate it thanks
I suck at this game :D
There's a learning curve for sure! Give it time and you'll get the hang of it, I'm sure! 😊
Looking forward to VR support
That would be fun! Hopefully in the future 🤞
