About Pickup Cargo
In the thrilling game of Pickup Cargo, players take on the role of an expert delivery driver tasked with navigating rugged terrains while transporting a variety of cargo. Your mission is to drive a powerful pickup truck through challenging dirty and hilly roads, ensuring that your deliveries reach customers in perfect condition. Each level presents new obstacles and environment challenges,
The genre lives on a sense of speed, a scoring system based on time, position or distance and responsive steering. Pickup Cargo understands that, and it shows in the first minute of play. Under the surface it is a test of anticipation and risk management, dressed up in competitive presentation.

Tips and tricks
- Slow in, fast out. Entering a corner a little slower lets you accelerate earlier on the exit, which almost always beats a hard, late braking approach.
- Traffic and rivals are predictable: they hold their line. Plan your overtake two cars ahead rather than reacting to the one in front.
- Nitro or boost is best used on straights where you are already stable, not to rescue a bad corner.
- Use the whole width of the road. Cutting across from the outside to the inside of a bend and back out again shortens the distance and keeps your speed up.
- Because this is a Skills game, practise the hardest input in isolation before you attempt a full run.
