Read full description

Freight Syndicate is a neon-noir trucking strategy game where you start with a small operation and build a city-spanning freight empire. Run legal freight for steady cash, take riskier loads for bigger payouts, expand into new cities, buy properties, hire crew, and strengthen your fleet. Rival carriers push back for territory, so every route, asset, and upgrade matters. Features: - Run freight jobs affected by fuel prices, weather, demand, heat, and city control. - Buy semis, dump trucks, straight trucks, flatbeds, properties, cars, and armored assets. - Grow from Driver to Boss to Kingpin CEO through levels and ranks. - Fight rival carriers for control of Chicago, Gary, Detroit, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Dallas, Irving, Garland, Grand Prairie, and Mesquite. - Earn passive income from properties and keep an eye on energy timers, heat, and rival pressure. Freight Syndicate uses fictional crime-tycoon flavor and is designed as stylized strategy entertainment.
