City Truck Driver

The garage opens with a plain white cab, 10,000 coins and a price tag of 300,000 on the best truck in the shop. That gap is the whole game. City Truck Driver is a free truck driving simulator you play in your browser. You haul trailers across a big city, race rival trucks or just drive around, earning coins to buy and paint new trucks, alone or with a second player on the same keyboard.

Key Controls

• Drive and steer: W, A, S, D, or ARROW KEYS when playing alone
• Handbrake: SPACE
• Switch camera: C
• Connect or detach the trailer: T
• Player 2 Move: ARROW KEYS
• Player 2 Handbrake: J
• Player 2 Switch camera: B

A single driver can use either set of keys, but in 2 player mode the ARROW KEYS belong to the second truck, so T for the trailer is the key to remember.

How It Works

City Truck Driver starts in a garage with a mode button for each way to play: Missions, Racing and Free Drive. Missions are the trucking jobs. You hook a trailer to your cab, follow the arrow to the pickup, and carry the load to its destination before the timer runs out. Racing puts you on a city track against rival trucks, and a finish in the top 3 earns the reward.

The third mode drops the goals, so you can learn how a heavy truck brakes before coins are on the line. Racing and the open mode ask for 1 or 2 players, while Missions go straight to your truck. Pick a cab, change its paint and press Next, and Racing opens a map of 10 races with only the first unlocked.

1. Choose Missions, Racing or Free Drive in the garage.
2. Pick 1 player or 2 players when the game asks.
3. Select your truck, change its paint, and press Next.
4. Choose the first unlocked level on the map.
5. Drive with W, A, S, D or the arrow keys and brake with Space.
6. Press T to connect the trailer and follow the arrow in Missions.
7. Spend the coins you earn on a new truck back in the garage.

What Makes It Stand Out

• 13 trucks. The first is yours from the start and 12 more cost from 15,000 to 300,000 coins.
• 10 races on a level map. They unlock in order, starting from race 1.
• 3 modes in 1 garage. Every mode shares your truck and your coins.
• A 2 player mode on 1 keyboard. Player 2 drives with the arrow keys, J and B.
• Trailer missions on a clock. You hook up with T and deliver before time runs out.
• A paint shop with 7 colors. Your truck can change color before every drive.

Getting Started

• Start City Truck Driver without a goal. The open mode has no timer and no rivals, so you can feel how far the truck rolls after you let go of W.
• Brake before corners, not inside them. Space needs to come in early, because a truck carries much more speed into a turn than it looks.
• Follow the arrow, not the road. In Missions the arrow points to the pickup and the drop point.
• Make the 15,000 truck your first purchase. It is the cheapest step up from the starting cab and leaves room to save for the next one.

Going Further

City Truck Driver is built around 1 long goal: turning 10,000 starting coins into the 300,000 needed for the last truck in the shop. Coins come from Missions and Racing, so driving without a goal is practice, not income. Racing pays only for a top 3 finish, which makes a clean line through corners worth more than top speed. Each truck has its own handling, speed and acceleration, so climbing the price list step by step beats waiting for the expensive ones. The first mission gives you about 6 minutes to hook up the trailer and reach the drop point, which is plenty of time if you reverse carefully.

Mistakes Worth Avoiding

• Braking inside the corner. Space works best before the turn begins.
• Settling for fourth place. Only the top 3 earn the race reward.
• Ignoring the mission arrow. Detours burn the time you need to deliver.
• Saving straight for the 300,000 truck. A 15,000 truck is within reach much sooner.
