In Heavy Cargo - The Truck Simulator, you transport oversized cargo through an extensive, freely accessible and lively game world, including dynamic weather and day-night cycle. Before you start your journey with your truck and its various trailers and cargo, you often have to explore the route with the spotting vehicle first that you control yourself. If obstacles prevent you from fulfilling your mission, you will have to dismantle crash barriers, cut off road signs, determine bridge heights or lay out plates using a crane in order to transport your heavy cargo from A to B undamaged.(Storyline via IGDB)
