| Start | RS Haul Depot in Flint County, just west of Los Santos |
|---|---|
| Opens after | Tanker Commander |
| Needed for 100% | Complete all eight Trucking missions |
| Rewards | $1,000 to $10,000 per mission ($33,500 in all), and RS Haul Depot becomes an asset paying up to $2,000 |
Trucking is a chain of eight deliveries from the RS Haul Depot, each harder than the last. Some ask for speed, some for a careful drive, and some for a getaway with the police on your tail. You finish them in order, and you may run the whole set again afterwards for more cash. Clearing all eight is part of 100%, and it turns the depot into an asset.
Unlocking Trucking
The depot opens after the story mission Tanker Commander, which introduces Mr. Whittaker, who works at the RS Haul Depot. The depot lies in Flint County, west of Los Santos. Walk into the red marker inside the depot compound to start a job, then take the truck and trailer to the destination. Missions 7 and 8 cannot be started until you have finished Yay Ka-Boom-Boom, which opens up Las Venturas.
The job fails if you are Wasted or Busted, destroy or abandon the cab or trailer, or run out of time. Leaving the cab or unhooking the trailer for too long also fails the job. You cannot repair the truck or trailer during a job.
The three cargo types
Regular loads are timed: deliver them quickly, since late cargo cuts the cash in half and a missed second deadline cuts it again. Fragile loads have a damage bar, and every knock to the truck or trailer takes money off the payment. Illegal loads pay a fixed amount, but a wanted level starts as you leave the depot and the police chase you the whole way. Police bribes and Pay ‘n’ Spray shops do not remove it during the job. Failing leaves you with the stars, but then the bribes work again, while passing clears them.

Tips
Mission 4 can take you through the Flint Intersection, so keep to the right side of the road there. On the fragile jobs, take corners wide and slow, and keep away from the police and other cars, because a trailer can come loose. Mission 7 asks for speed and care together, so you will rarely get the full $7,000 unless you drive cleanly. On the illegal missions, plan a route that avoids the busiest roads and do not stop for the police. Mission 6 picks its destination from the destinations of missions 4 and 5, so check the radar before you set off.
Asset and replays
Finish all eight and RS Haul Depot becomes an asset that generates up to $2,000. Later runs pick variable destinations and rewards. For the other jobs that work as assets, see Quarry, Courier and properties.
