The Truckful worker delivery task requires you to transport a construction crew and their heavy tools to a damaged road site on the East-West Expressway for Baron Shusk. Many players run into trouble because the default pickup bed triggers capacity warnings, making it impossible to fit the workers and equipment without items tumbling out onto the dirt. Completing the run requires securing enough cargo space, arranging the workers and equipment flat on the bed, and preparing for a follow-up trip to retrieve hidden concrete from a northern tunnel.
Mission Overview and How to Start the Task
The worker delivery assignment unlocks after handling Baron Shusk's paperwork and herbicide disputes with the local town head, Mick (Reef Pebble). Baron Shusk wants the damaged transit route to the Western Logistics Dispatch Center repaired quietly, bypassing local bans against roadwork.
To pick up the crew, drive to Northern Deepstone. You will find the workers waiting in the Market Square roundabout directly beneath the monument to the disaster victims.
When you speak to the group, you meet Angela, Ted, and Josek:
- Angela prefers to ride her bicycle to the work site, meaning she will not occupy space in your pickup bed.
- Ted and his smaller brother Josek must ride in the flatbed alongside their heavy construction gear, which includes a bulky cement mixer and tools.
- Once you drop off the crew at the repair site, you are instructed to double back to retrieve concrete stored in a tunnel on the north side of the town.
Cargo Bed Space and Money Requirements
The most frequent hurdle players face during the worker delivery task is bed capacity. If your pickup still uses the starter configuration, the game displays a warning that your truck bed has a smaller default capacity than the mission requests. Trying to force both workers and their construction equipment into a standard bed often results in items spilling across the road, failing cargo condition parameters, or exceeding mileage and time limits when you turn back to collect dropped pieces.
Recommended Truck Upgrades
To haul the entire crew and their equipment in a single trip, visit a workshop or garage before taking the contract:
| Part Name | Category | Primary Function | Source / Requirements |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chimney 12+ / 2x3x3 Bed | Cargo Bed | Provides basic structured space to hold workers and crates | Workshop upgrade |
| Cargo Bed 24+ | Cargo Bed | Expands lateral floor room for bulky equipment like the cement mixer | Unlocked via mission progression |
| Flatbed XL 30+ | Cargo Bed | Maximum flat loading area to pack workers side-by-side with gear | Garage purchase |
| Sticky Cargo | Active Skill | Locks cargo in place for several seconds and retrieves fallen items | Acquired through Baron Shusk / Garage |
| 75 HP Engine | Engine | Helps the truck climb steep, muddy inclines when hauling heavy loads | Garage purchase |
How to Afford a Bigger Cargo Bed
If you lack the coins to purchase a larger bed, do not force the mission under-equipped. Players on the Steam forums frequently run out of funds right before this quest. You can raise money through the following methods:
- Look at the world map for visible red houses or mailboxes, which indicate available side deliveries.
- Open your journal to replay previously completed delivery orders to earn better reward medals and cash payouts.
- Transport parcels between local points of interest like the Paraboree Hotel and Northern Deepstone.
Step-by-Step Delivery Walkthrough
1. Packing the Crew and Construction Equipment
Once you accept the job at the Northern Deepstone monument, enter the cargo packing screen:
- Place Ted and Josek flat against the floor of the bed. You can rotate objects and NPCs using the assigned rotate keys (such as Q and E or controller buttons) to ensure their hitboxes fit flush within the boundary lines.
- Slot the cement mixer and smaller crates into the remaining gaps. Keep heavier objects toward the center and front of the bed to avoid severe rear swaying on turns.
- Test your layout using simulation mode before driving to see how items settle under simulated movement.
- If you have the Sticky Cargo gadget installed, keep it ready on your control bar to stabilize the load whenever you hit rough terrain.
2. Driving to the Ruined Road Site
Head west out of town along the East-West Expressway. The route leads toward the damaged road at the entrance to the Western Darkwoods:
- Maintain steady throttle rather than flooring the accelerator; heavy loads cause noticeable slide on unpaved ground.
- Watch out for wandering sheep flocks blocking the road. Use your horn to scatter them well before making contact, as slamming into animals can launch passengers out of the flatbed.
- Avoid excessive detours if you are attempting the optional time limit or distance limit medals.
- Stop at the designated parking zone by the sinkhole. The workers will disembark, set up camp, and instruct you to fetch their supply of concrete.
3. Fetching Concrete from Tunnel 9
After the crew starts inspecting the pothole, they reveal that their concrete is hidden in a secret location:
- Turn your truck around and head toward the railway tunnel on the north side of the city (marked as Tunnel 9 / connecting Northern Deepstone with the western sector).
- Avoid straying off-road into nearby minefields; running over buried mines will damage your vehicle and scatter loose parcels.
- Enter the tunnel tracks carefully and align your pickup with the concrete cargo.
- Pack the concrete crates into your flatbed, ensuring everything is locked down securely.
- Drive back along the roadway to the construction site and deliver the materials to Angela, Ted, and Josek.
Troubleshooting Common Delivery Issues
- Truck bed warning pops up: You can technically attempt the mission with a warning, but parts of the load will rest precariously on the edges. If an item falls, you must stop, reverse close enough to trigger the grab prompt, and repack your bed.
- Losing cargo during high-speed curves: Upgrading your steering handling, equipping wider tires, and toggling Sticky Cargo right before sharp bends prevents Ted or the mixer from sliding off.
- Navigation arrow confusion: The GPS navigation indicator can take several seconds to recalculate direction after you turn or back up. Rely on your journal world map to verify junction points along Willow Avenue and the East-West Expressway.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do you have to fit all three workers onto the truck bed?
No. Angela tells you directly that she will take her bicycle to the construction site. You only need to load Ted, Josek, and the construction equipment onto the flatbed.
Can you complete the worker delivery in multiple trips?
The delivery contract requires the crew and their initial equipment to arrive together. If you cannot fit them, you must upgrade your cargo bed at a garage rather than attempting split deliveries.
Where do you find the concrete after dropping off the workers?
The concrete is stored inside the railway tunnel (Tunnel 9) located on the north side of Northern Deepstone. Follow the railway entrance carefully and watch out for track obstructions when turning around inside.
