# Hotshot Trucking Simulator

**Baobab Interactive Development · Version 1.33.2 (beta)**

Build a trucking career with pickup trucks, flatbed trailers, physical cargo loading, visible tie-downs, digital manifests, and player-led DOT inspections.

Drivers collect company equipment or bring an approved truck, choose freight, load and secure cargo, and complete deliveries across the map. Progression unlocks new freight and equipment; perks improve handling and dispatch options.

## About these settings

This guide follows the **1.33.2 beta release configuration** reviewed on October 7, 2026. Settings described as “current” are the values in that copy, not a promise that every release package or server uses the same values.

The current configuration uses standalone mode, permission-based trucking and DOT access, F3 mobile dispatch, an enabled first-job guide, and one configured company work truck compatible with all three flatbed sizes. Building Materials unlock at level 1, Crated Equipment at 3, Portable Generators at 5, and Pipe Bundles at 7.

Examples that change those choices are explicitly labeled. Check your installed `config/` files when behavior differs.
