• Send It Back

  You walked a trailer, found what was wrong with it, and refused it. Thirty minutes for the swap, and the write-up stayed with the people whose problem it was.

  Category: Out on the Road

  Unlocked.

• Cold Freight, Warm Heart

  Your first refrigerated load delivered with the temperature holding steady. The trailer ran cold the whole way there; no reason your mood had to.

• World Through a Wet Windshield

  You drove through the rain and kept it civil. The whole world goes by through that glass, with the wipers keeping time and your following distance keeping order.

  Category: Weather and the Calendar

  Unlocked.

• Somewhere in the Static

  You rode a station all the way to the end of its reach, hiss creeping in under the music until the last of it went. Nobody hung up on you. The hill just got in the way.

  Category: The Dial and Song Towns

  Unlocked.

• Worked the Whole Dial

  Twenty-five different stations found and left behind. You are not listening to the radio so much as reading the country off it.

• No Mountain High Enough

  You let cruise read the hill before you got to it: it banked a little speed on the flat and carried it up a grade that would have taken it off you. Nothing you had to do about it.

• Five Clean, In a Row

  Five straight deliveries on time, undamaged, and ticket-free. A streak that quiet doesn't make for a good CB story, but it pays.

• The Small Hours Ride Along

  Freight delivered in the smallest hours, between midnight and the first hint of gray. Whatever kept you company out there signed nothing and vanished at the dock.

• Stick-Shift Solo

  You ran in manual and made the gearbox part of the band. Every clean shift sounds cool, right up until the grade changes key on you.

  Unlocked.

• Where the Ribbon Don't End

  One loaded haul over 900 miles. The blacktop unspooled ahead like a ribbon with no end in sight, long enough for the seat cushion to earn seniority.

  Category: Out on the Road

  Unlocked.

• The Long Way to the Dock

  One dispatch that stretched past a full day on the trip clock, sleep and all. The kind of run where the last hundred miles feel personally aimed at you.

  Category: Out on the Road

  Unlocked.

• Regular on the Regional Board

  Career level five. Dispatch stopped double-checking your paperwork, the lanes run a little wider, and you can even turn a load down without getting a lecture.

  Category: Career and Rank

  Unlocked.

• Bluegrass on the Bill of Lading

  A load signed for in Kentucky, where the pastures look painted and the fences run forever. The grass gets called blue; the money you made on it was plain green.

  Category: Places on the Map

  Unlocked.

• Stuck in Every Flavor of Slow

  Construction cones and a genuine traffic jam, both inside one trip. For a while there the truck was less a vehicle and more a waiting room with mud flaps.

  Category: The Working Day

  Unlocked.

• Smokey at the Scale

  You rolled through an inspection with the paperwork in order. All that radio mischief stayed outside while your axle weights behaved themselves indoors.

  Category: The Working Day

  Unlocked.

• You Get What You Get

  You hooked a trailer out of a drop yard and found a write-up on the walk-around. Somebody parked it, signed for it, and went home. Now it is yours.

  Unlocked.

• Sparkle in the Dry Van

  Your first high-value load delivered with the seals intact. Cargo worth more than the truck rides quiet, stays locked up tight, and never stops for souvenirs.

  Unlocked.

• Highway to Maybe Not

  You slowed in time to dodge a road hazard. Could've been a one-way ramp to somewhere awful -- your brake pedal had other plans.

  Category: The Working Day

  Unlocked.

• A Working Man's Receipt

  You fixed the rig in a proper garage instead of cobbling it together from borrowed parts. Honest work and an honest bill, and the truck rolled out earning its keep again.

  Category: Career and Rank

  Unlocked.

• Hope Is Not a Fuel Plan

  You made the dock with the fuel gauge past pleading and into prayer. Somewhere back down the road you passed the last cheap diesel and said, probably fine.
