Black River, Michigan, USA
Black River is the first of four maps in the Michigan region. You need to complete all contracts, tasks and contests and find a bunch of trucks and other collectibles in this map before moving on.
Your starting truck is a Chevrolet CK1500 [1/9]. Open up the map and follow the tutorial steps. Youneed to go find your first Watchtower for a contract imaginatively called The Watchtower [1/20]. This will unlock the first of 8 Watchtowers in this map. Next go find the truck to complete the contract First Truck [2/20] to unlock the GMC MH9500 [2/9]. Deliver some wooden planks and metal planks for Old Bridge Reconstruction [3/20]. Now you can head to the garage [1/6] for Get To The Garage [4/20].
Outside the garage you'll find another truck, the Fleetstar F2070A [3/9] and the first upgrade for this map. To complete the Tutorial, enter the garage with the GMC, hit Retain and travel to Alaska. Get the GMC out of storage and leave the garage to unlock the first achievement;
Yeah, you can drive! All main tutorial hints have been activated at least once
You aren't ready to deal with Alaska yet, so recover the GMC, retain it, and go back to the Black River garage. Select the Fleetstar, recover it to the garage, and do the same with the Chevy. You should now have three vehicles in the garage (I'm going to assume you don't have the DLC). Exit the garage with the GMC and you will see 3 trailers parked next to the Trailer Store. Sell the first two back to the Trailer Store and leave the Curtainside one - it can't be sold and is needed for a Task. Back in the Garage, select the Fleetstar, go to Customize and sell it's Engageable AWD, then sell the truck, then sell the Chevy. For the GMC, select Customize and sell the Westline engine, replacing it with the Si-6V/1900, sell the Sideboard Bed under Frame Addons and finally sell the truck. You should now have $95,750 or thereabouts. Select the Global Map, go the garage in Taymyr, enter the Truck Store and buy the Azov 64131. Retain it and travel back to Black River.
A note on the Azov - this truck is a game-changer. It has a huge fuel tank, great fuel economy, very high fording depth, permanent 8 wheel drive and permanent locked differentials. Needless to say it can plough through all terrain. The only downside is that it's slow, but IMHO it's a small price to pay.
The first thing to do with your new Azov is visit the remaining Watchtowers on this map. It's a tight squeeze on some of the trails but it's all possible with the Azov and you'll feel like a better person for doing it. Along the way you are bound to get stuck and winch yourself, making your second achievement;
Get over here Pull yourself with a winch for at least 6 meters
As you explore with the Azov you might roll it, run out of fuel or just want to fast travel back to the garage. Doing this 10 times will unlock
Tread Softly Recover your vehicle 10 times or more
As you explore the map, you'll see yellow lines marked on the ground. Enter these to accept tasks that we'll be completing later. You have to accept tasks before you can start them, so accepting them any time you see them saves us time later.
With the Watchtowers unlocked, now it's time to collect all the Upgrades. There are 7 in Black River and you should use this awesome interactive map by /u/deviousdrizzle

You probably don't have enough money to put any Frame Addons onto the Azov so let's do some easy activities. Under Contracts you can complete Farming Tools [5/20] and then under Tasks, Drowned Highway Truck [1/62], Drowned Scout Truck [2/62], The Place Beyond The Spruces [3/62], King of the Hill [4/62], Local Entertainment [5/62]. Next, head to the Lumber Mill, grab the trailer which already contains wooden planks and deliver it to complete the Wooden Bridge [6/62] task. Leave the trailer and complete the Drainage [7/62] task saving the pump near the garage for last.
When you reach the pump near the garage, you'll discover the objective marker for Drowned Heavy Truck [8/62]. Tow this truck back to the farm. Just south west of the farm you should see a fuel carrier trailer. Tow it to the Trailer Store at the garage and sell it.
In the top left corner of the map you will see a marker for a new vehicle, the Scout 800 [4/9]. Drive over to it, switch vehicle, recover, retain and sell it.
At this point you should have around $37,000. Jump back to your garage in Taymyr and buy/retain the Zikz 5368 offroad truck. Unfortunately for us, this truck sucks, but you need to bang out a few quick deliveries with it. Deploy the Zikz in Black River and put a flatbed on it. You need to do 10 deliveries with it so do Fallen Powerline [9/62] (3 cargo), Mountain Bridge [10/62] (3 cargo), Road Block [11/62] (2 cargo) and Rockslide [12/62] (2 cargo). Routes that were laughably easy in the Azov are pretty challenging in the Zikz aren't they?
This is the earliest point where you might have unlocked;
Untouchable Complete any 10 tasks or contests without taking damage
And you'll also unlock;
What's a mile? Use Zikz 5368 to deliver at least 10 cargoes in Michigan or Alaska
Now recover the Zikz to the garage, retain it, sell the flatbed and sell the truck. Switch back to the Azov and buy/equip a flatbed. Let's go and complete Stuck Trailer [13/62], Motel Woes [14/62], Missing Oil Tank [15/62], and Riverside Repair [16/62]. Recover to the garage and add the IM50 Loading Crane to the Azov. Notice how the flatbed sticks out stupidly far. You can't tow trailers anymore but its not a big deal to do Missing Machinery [17/62] with two trips.
A couple of quick tips on using the crane for the first time. Always put your handbrake on and deploy the anchors. You can use the crane like a winch, dragging stuff towards you and making it easier to lift. You can dump cargo in any old mess on your truck and the Pack Cargo option will sort it out for you.
Back at the garage, remove the loading crane but keep the flatbed. Switch to Contracts and complete Wet Harvest [6/20]. If you collect the metal first, there is a trailer parked nearby. Put the metal on the truck, remove the cargo from the trailer and use it to pick up the wood planks. Once you deliver these two loads, sell the trailer at the Trailer Store on the way to the Warehouse.
Completing that last contract should get you to Level 6. Recover to the garage and buy/equip the Avto-23 Heavy Crane. Accept the contract Pipe Dream [7/20] and head to location of the Heavy Fuel Tanker Semi-Trailer. You are going to use the heavy crane to lift the trailer 5 metres off the ground for;
Goliath Use a telescopic crane to raise a special objective semi-trailer at least 5 meters above the ground
Be sure to set the trailer back down on its wheels, and head north to the location of the Chevrolet Kodiak C70 [5/9]. Lift it out of the water with the heavy crane to unlock;
Problem Solved Pull a vehicle with a broken engine out of the water with a crane
Leave the C70 where it is and recover the Azov to the garage, remove the heavy crane and buy/equip the Van Body Addon. Drive back to the C70 and refuel it with the Azov's fuel tank. You need to repair everything except the wheels on the C70. You can manually repair each part of the truck, but take care to leave the wheels. Now drive the C70 with it's broken wheels back to the garage to unlock;
Broken Horse Drive 1km with all wheels broken
Go back to the garage, retain and sell the C70, and add the Saddle High to the Azov. Now return to the trailer, deliver it to it's destination, switch back to the flatbed and deliver the other cargo to complete the contract. Now complete the Lost Container [8/20] with the loading crane and flatbed, and then Steel River Supplies [9/20] with just the flatbed.
The remaining contracts start your transition into the next map, Smithville Dam. So before you do that, there are three contests to complete. Contests are like tasks except that they can be replayed and sometimes have special conditions attached to them. Contests are also timed, with gold, silver or bronze target times and tiered awards of cash and xp. The good news for the achievements is that you only have to complete them once and it doesn't matter if you get gold or not. Food Delivery [18/62] has a damage restriction which will be no sweat for the Azov. Pinewood Express [19/62] must be completed at night. Meterology Data [20/62] has to be done in cockpit view which is horrible, but just go slow and you'll be fine.
Now start the contract Not a Drill [10/20]. Deliver the metal planks and head through the tunnel to Smithville Dam. Take the first right, head up the hill and straight ahead you'll see the Smithville Dam garage [2/6]. Enter it with the Azov and equip the Saddle Low. Outside at the Trailer Store buy the Flatbed Semi-Trailer. This can carry 5 cargo units so it's big enough for the Oil Rig Drill. Deliver the drill back in Black River, ditch the trailer (or take it a Trailer Store if you are feeling patient) then recover to the Black River garage, equip the Saddle High, and head for the final objective.
The game has probably seemed pretty easy with the Azov up until now. Think of this trailer like your first boss battle. Delivering it will apply all the skills you've learnt so far, but the Azov will take it all in its stride. Just remember - wide turns, and use the trailer winch points if you get in trouble.
At this point you should have completed 8 watchtowers, 7 upgrades, 5 vehicles and 30 missions (contracts + tasks + contests), and be somewhere in the middle of level 7. Drive or garage hop back to Smithville Dam for the next map.
Before you start exploring this new and exciting map, let's bang out a few tedious achievements. In the Truck Store, buy back the Chevrolet CK1500 for $11,300. Under Customize, change the color to Red and leave the garage. Jump back into the garage and grab the Azov. Now crash the Chevy into the fuel tank on the side of the Azov. It may take a few attempts with the angle and speed, but the goal is to do more damage to the Azov's fuel tank than the Chevy's engine. This will unlock;
The Duel Driving a red-colored scout vehicle, collide with any truck and take less damage than that truck
Next, take the Azov and Chevy back through the tunnel into the Black River map. Switch to the Chevy and ram it into a wall/tree etc until the engine is dead. Tow it with the Azov back through the tunnel to the Smithville Dam garage to unlock;
Convoy Transport a winched vehicle with a broken engine from one map to another and put in a garage
With the Chevy back in the garage, go to upgrade and buy every option under every category and do the same under visuals. Although a lot are still locked, there is more than enough here to spend more than $23,000 to unlock;
Gallo-24 Buy enough upgrades to hit twice the price of the base vehicle you bought them for
Now go through and sell back every single upgrade including ones that were unlocked that you didn't need to purchase. In other words, make sure it doesn't say X1 against any upgrade. Finally sell the truck. This should be just enough to tip you over $100,000 unlocking;
Uncle Scrooge Earn 100000 currency
You could start exploring the map now with the Azov or with any scout vehicle you want to buy. The problem is that Smithville Dam introduces narrower, more uneven terrain and the dreaded adverse camber. Wouldn't it be great if there was a scout vehicle with an insanely low centre of gravity and tank-like abilities? Luckily for us there is, but its going to take a little effort to get it.
Recover the Azov, retain it and travel to the Taymyr garage. Equip the Seismic Vibrator Module and accept the Geological Exploration [1/18] contract. This contract doesn't give you a destination - instead you have to figure it out by watching the distance for the three target locations . Or you could just look at the waypoints in the interactive map;
https://www.maprunner.info/taymyr/drowned-lands
The terrain is a lot more challenging than we've seen so far, but the Azov is still the best truck for the job. The module makes the Azov quite top-heavy so go slow and practice your side-winching. When you get within 150 meters of a target the module will start beeping and when you get within 15 meters you can activate it. Next complete the contract Looking Beyond the Horizon [2/18] with the Flatbed on the Azov. This unlocks the next map, the Quarry. Head through the top left (North West) Gateway into the Quarry.
Stay on the main Tarmac road and you'll encounter a fallen tower blocking the way. With a little winching you can drive right over it with the Azov. Continue through the Gateway to Zimnegorsk. The truck you want is called the TUZ 420 "Tartarin" [1/5]. Check the interactive map for the exact location;
https://www.maprunner.info/taymyr/zimnegorsk
Recover it to your garage, recover the Azov, retain them both and travel back to Smithville Dam. You should be Level 8 by now. This unlocks the Extended Winch for the Azov which is a good investment. You should also buy the Autonomous Winch and Roof Rack for the Tartarin.
Take the Tartarin and visit the 6 Smithville Dam watchtowers, accepting any tasks that you happen to drive near. Then, collect the 8 upgrades, referring to the interactive map by /u/deviousdrizzle
https://www.maprunner.info/michigan/smithville-dam
Back in the Azov, let's focus on clearing all the routes by completing Rock On [21/62], Smithville Bridge [22/62], The Long Way [23/62]. Head a little further south and you'll discover another Chevrolet CK1500 that messes up the in-game counter. Recover it to the garage and sell it. With the Tartarin you can complete Unlucky Fisherman [24/62], Lost Trailer [25/62], Find the Antenna Tower [26/62], Michigan Trial [27/62]. While you are down in this part of the map head to the International Transtar 4070A [6/9] and recover, retain and sell it.
Recover the Tartarin, switch to the Azov with Flatbed and go back down to the little island that has the Lost Bags task and a Service Trailer. Grab the trailer and take it to the GMC 9500 and repair it to complete Repair the Truck [28/62]. This GMC is now stuck in limbo so don't bother trying to recover it. Ditch the trailer and complete Fixer Upper [29/62] to unlock the White Western Star 4964 [7/9]. Recover, retain and sell it.
Now use the Azov for Hungry Workers [30/62], More Fuel [31/62], Well Well Well [32/62], Across The River [33/62], Tools Delivery [34/62], Solid Foundation [35/62] (this one says you need a truck with a crane but you don't). Back at the garage, add the loading crane to be able to complete Lost Bags [36/62], Threatening Accident [37/62] and Unfortunate Event [38/62]. You should now be Level 11 which unlocks Off-road tyres for the Azov.
From where you completed the last task, you can start the contest New Nest [39/62] with it's dumb cockpit requirement, Heavy Burden [40/62] at night and then Going Under [41/62] which has a damage limit.
At some point during these tasks you will have likely unlocked;
The Blue Hall Drive 1km in the water
If not, don't worry, it will come naturally. All that's left now are the contracts. There are quite a few tedious deliveries to complete and if you are getting bored with the Azov feel free to buy and try out some other trucks. The International Paystar 5070 is a reasonable all-rounder for example.
I guess you should finally get around to completing the contracts - Winter Stores [11/20], The Essentials [12/20], Materials Order [13/20], Work For Old Sweat [14/20] and Fuel Order [15/20].
If you are short of cash now is a good time to collect up a few trailers and sell them back to the Trailer Store. However, if you've stuck with the Azov and Tartarin you should have $200k+ saved up.
Finally, double check your progress. You should have unlocked 14 watchtowers, 15 upgrades, 7 vehicles and completed 56 missions (contracts + tasks + contests).
Next stop, Island Lake.
Island Lake is the first map that we've encountered doesn't have a garage or a fuel station. It's going to require a little bit of strategy, but nothing too difficult. At the Smithville Dam garage, equip the Azov with the small loading crane and Saddle Low. You are going to make the Azov tow the Tartarin with it's winch. Activate the contract Lumber Mill Revival [16/20] and head south to the location of the Curtainside trailer. Attach the trailer to the Azov and let the Tartarin tow them both down to the Gateway to Island Lake.
You are arriving in Island Lake in style! Leave the trailer and the Azov and use the Tartarin to visit the 8 watchtowers and collect the 4 upgrades. Refer to /u/deviousdrizzle's interactive map if needed;
https://www.maprunner.info/michigan/island-lake
Although there are no garages or fuel stations, you will notice a few fuel trailers scattered around. It's important to manage your fuel, using these trailers as waypoints when you need to. Don't forget to refuel the extra containers on the Tartarin's roof rack. Also, you may not have realized that the Trailer Store acts a free fuel and repair center - just buy fuel or services trailers, use them and sell them back for no loss of money.
Use the Tartarin to complete a few easy tasks; A Little Help For My Friends [42/62], Signal In the Mountains [43/62], The Huntsman And The Car [44/62] and Rusty Legacy [45/62]. At Level 13 you unlock mud tyres for the Azov. It's probably not worth recovering to the Smithville Dam garage just for this one upgrade, but if you find yourself back there for some reason be sure to buy them.
You've probably realized that there are a lot of wooden bridges to repair. Take the Azov to the Trailer Store and buy a flatbed semi-trailer. Then go to the Logging Station and pick up 5 units of wooden planks. Auto-load the 5 units, pull forward and then unpack the cargo. Now attach your crane to 4 of the 5. You don't have to lift them, just connect to them. Finally repack the cargo to unlock;
Through blood & sweat Manually load at least 4 cargo units in your truck one after another and pack them
Now start delivering wooden planks to complete Bridge The Gap [46/62], Tough Negotiations [47/62], Corporate Expansion [48/62] and Hunter Bob's Bridge [49/62]. Keep the Flatbed trailer to complete Fallen Antenna [50/62] and the contest Flaming Barrels [51/62]. Then return the trailer to the Trailer Store, sell it and buy a maintenance trailer. Take this and to the marker for No Country For Old Truck [52/62] and refuel and partially repair the truck - it doesn't have enough repair points to repair it fully. Pop back to the Trailer Store to sell/buy the trailer again and repeat to unlock the Western Star 6900 TS [8/9]. Recover, retain and sell it. Leave the trailer here to act as another useful refuel/repair point.
Depending how often you've been repairing your own vehicles, you might unlock;
Play Your Way Fix 2000 damage points
Collect the curtainside trailer that you brought down from Smithville Dam and deliver it to continue with the contract Lumber Mill Revival [16/20]. There is a semi-trailer near the Trailer Store that conveniently contains both the metal planks and concrete blocks you need to complete the contract. For Fallen Power Lines [17/20] there is another semi-trailer at the nearby house with metal planks that you can deliver to Fallen Pole 01. Near Fallen Pole 03 there is another trailer with 2 more sets of metal planks to complete the contract. For Instruments Of Development [18/20] it looks like you need to go to three locations to collect drilling equipment. You don't! Just go to the nearest location 3 times to speed things up.
For Harbor Delivery [19/20] there is a container randomly dumped on the ground right next to you at the Warehouse. With a little perseverance you can drag it onto your trailer with the loading crane. Remember it doesn't have to be perfectly aligned before you can choose Pack Cargo. With the container loaded, it's time to visit the final map in Michigan, Drummond Island. If you pass the Tartarin on the way, tow it behind your trailer. If not, go back and collect and drive it to Drummond Island.
At this stage you should have completed 22 watchtowers, 19 upgrades, 8 vehicles and 70 missions (contracts + tasks + contests) and be somewhere around Level 14.
When you arrive, pull the Azov out of the way and use the Tartarin to visit the last remaining 4 watchtowers and collect the last 2 upgrades. The good news is that Dummond Lake has a fuel station, the bad new is that there is still no garage. Use the same strategy as Island Lake to manage your fuel.
While finding the upgrades if you need help check the interactive map;
https://www.maprunner.info/michigan/drummond-island
This will unlock;
Deer Hunt Find all upgrades in Michigan
You've probably noticed a few key bridges are making life difficult. Go back to the Azov, leave the trailer with the cargo container and complete Support Local Rangers [53/62] using the trailer of wood planks right by where you entered the map. Drop the trailer at the fuel station and go to the task marker to accept Of Bridges And Men. Just North of here you'll discover the final truck, the Pacific P16 [9/9]. It's useless with no saddle, so recover, retain and sell it.
Use the trailer at the fuel station to collect wooden planks and complete Of Bridges And Men [54/62]. The final bridge task, Ten Hut [55/62] requires a lot of deliveries. The metal planks are in a trailer right where you accept the task and the concrete slabs are in a trailer at the house where you accept the Cousin Cleetus task. For phase two, travel through the Gateway to Smithville Dam, grab a flatbed semi-trailer from the nearby Trailer Store and load up at the Warehouse.
With the bridge open, go and collect the drilling equipment and deliver it to the port to complete Harbor Delivery [19/20]. Back in the Tartarin complete the following tasks; The Silent Observer [56/62], Forged By The Sea [57/62], Tourist Attraction [58/62], Mud Wrestling [58/62] and the contest A Race With The Rain [60/62]. For the final two tasks - Lost Delivery [61/62] and Cousin Cleetus [62/62] you really need a truck with a flatbed and a loading crane but your Azov still has the Saddle Low equipped. You can jump back to the garage but it's a long drive back again. The alternative is to use a combination of trailers and driving with a cargo precariously balanced on the back of the truck. Both options work but are time-consuming so take your pick.
Now all that's left is one contract - Out With The Old [20/20]. Remember that boss-level trailer from Black River? Somehow it's back and this time it's mad. We've got to get it all the way back to Smithville Dam. You need the Saddle High again and you don't have it so recover the Azov, remove the crane and add the Saddle High. You may as well recover and retain the Tartarin now too.
Instead of driving straight to the Port, do the following without refuelling. From the garage at Smithville Dam, drive into Black River, turn around and come back. Now drive to Drummond Island and continue all the way to Island Lake. Turn around and come back. This completes 1/3 of the requirements for the Fuel Economy achievement. Now refuel and head to the port to collect the trailer.
A note on this final contract: The Azov can tow this trailer without breaking a sweat. The Pacific P12 and P16 can do it easily too. Feel free to experiment. You've a choice of route - a short high risk path using the rocks in the water near where you enter Smithville Dam, or the longer route via the dam and the farm. I recommend using the latter. There have reports of issues with the trailer not resetting when you try and restart the contract, so playing it safe is the best strategy.
It's a long drive back to deliver the trailer. Remember the wide turns and make good use of the winch points on the trailer if you need to. In the next stage, the metal planks are on a ramped flatbed trailer at the logistics base. The oil rig drill is easiest done with a Saddle Low and flatbed semi-trailer.
At this point you should have 26/26 Watchtowers, 21/21 upgrades and 82/82 missions The game counter for vehicles discovered is broken, but you found 9. You should also right around Level 16.
Michigan is complete. Recover and retain all of your vehicles and let's head to Alaska.
