Truck Manager - 2027 is a business simulator where the player takes the seat of the CEO of a transport company. At the start, you have a couple of vehicles. The goal is a global logistics network that can compete with FedEx, DHL, or DSV. The wheel and speed are secondary here, everything is decided by calculation, and it feels more like an economic strategy than a race. Those who love counting profits and building supply chains will enjoy it.
How the company's work is structured
The main activity is route planning between cities: New York, Tokyo, London, Shanghai, Paris, Seoul. You can get from America to Europe and Asia, but only by land: there are no planes or ships in the game. Each truck is visible in real time on an interactive map with satellite GPS.
How the game differs from analogues
The economy here doesn't stand still. Fuel prices, salaries, and shipping rates are constantly changing, and a scheme that made money yesterday can go into the red today. There's also a staffing issue: specialists need to be hired, and the team needs to be developed.
Fleet and development
The garage has nine types of equipment - semi-trailers, tractor units, box trucks, road trains. The 3D models resemble Scania, Volvo, Mack, Peterbilt, and Mercedes. Vehicles can be upgraded and customized, but maintenance and repairs shouldn't be forgotten. Over time, the logistics hub covers new cities, and rewards and leaderboard positions are given for success. The game is free, but it won't launch without an internet connection.
