- Press ESC or Back to close the full map and return to the world.
Finding bases and services
- Truckmania Logistics: the trucking depot at the Los Santos docks. Visit the foreman to clock in and collect work rigs at the depot.
- Scrap Yard Workshop: the mechanic base in Grand Senora. Find the foreman, parts counter and workshop facilities here.
- Garages and impound lots: check the marker name for the location you need. Your starter car is stored in a public garage; the arrival notification tells you which one and sets GPS there.
- Fuel stations: look for the fuel-pump markers. Plan a fuel stop before a long haul.
- Shops: look for 24/7 Supermarket, Rob's Liquor, YouTool and clothing-store markers. Choose a store suited to the supplies you need.
Getting back to your class base
Use /class to choose a class. After your first spawn, selecting a class sets a normal purple waypoint to its base without moving you. You arrive off duty when you join a different class; clock in with the foreman to start work.
To get directions without changing class, press F6 or use /tablet. In Freight, choose Route to depot; in Roadside, choose Route to workshop. These buttons set a normal waypoint that you can clear from the map.
Following a work route
- Freight adds a yellow job route automatically: to the depot before you have a rig, then to the loading point and delivery destination as the contract progresses. The tablet also offers Route to your current stop. After delivery, check Freight for a nearby backhaul or directions back to the depot.
- Assigned truck and trailer markers help you find your rig. A marker labelled last known is its last reported position while it is outside streaming range.
- Accepting a roadside call adds a yellow route to the vehicle. Tow assignments route to the wreck and then the drop-off. Check Roadside for your current assignment and use its Route button when you need directions again.
Using the minimap on the road
The minimap appears while you are in a vehicle. On foot, equip a watch in your inventory gear slot to show it. Street names and the area display help you describe your location when arranging a meeting or asking for help.
Check the full map before driving a truck into a tight approach. GPS leads you toward the destination; look for a suitable entrance and enough room for your trailer, then follow the on-screen instructions at the site.
