Cargo Type Overview

There are 6 cargo types in the game:
Dry, Refrigerated, Granular, Construction, Machinery, and Hazmat.

Each cargo type has its own gameplay characteristics, including unique demand patterns, pricing, and optimal haul distances.

Cargo Type	Weight Class	Measurement	Vehicle Type	Notes
Dry	Light or Heavy	m³ / kg	Vans & Trucks	Common and versatile cargo. Good on most routes.
Refrigerated	Light or Heavy	m³ / kg	Trucks (Reefer-certified)	Requires reefer-capable vehicles.
Granular	Light or Heavy	m³ / kg	Trucks	Often used with bulk or tipper trailers.
Construction	Light or Heavy	m³ / kg	Trucks (esp. flatbeds)	Suitable for heavy-duty transport, including flatbeds.
Machinery	Heavy	kg	Trucks	Cannot be carried as light cargo. Large and weight-intensive.
Hazmat	Light only	m³	Trucks (Tanker-certified)	Must be hauled by tanker-certified vehicles. Carries risk and higher pay.

Light weight class (m³ / gal) has faster loading times, lower wear and tear, and lower fuel usage.

Heavy weight class (kg / lbs) has slower to load/unload, more wear, higher fuel consumption, and will emit more CO₂.
