Shahrah - Iranian Mountain Trucking

Shahrah puts you in the driver's seat of a decorated Iranian ten-wheeler on the single most demanding road in the mountains: a 2.5 km climb of switchbacks, grades, and guardrail edges from the valley yard at Bagh-e Sangi to the village at Gardaneh Pass.

Load grain, rugs, or crates of glass, then wrestle a fully loaded lorry up the hill. Momentum is your enemy: too fast into a hairpin and you're through the guardrail, too gentle on the throttle and you stall on the grade with an overheating engine. Sharpened rocks on the road can blow a tire in an instant.

When something breaks, get out and fix it yourself — walk to the hood with a repair kit, or jack a spare onto a blown wheel while the pass wind blows. Every bump shakes your cargo: deliver more of it intact, earn more.

Spend your earnings in the garage: engine overhauls, air brakes, reinforced tires, heavy suspension, and cargo straps. Then make the truck yours — repaint the cab, add a chrome eagle, a roof light bar, a windshield garland, a mirror amulet. Three routes, fragile-cargo runs, and best times to chase.
