What Can I Drive.

Find your service, check the certification, then read your rank. Your rank unlocks everything listed above it in that service.

Handbook and quick actions

How it works

  1. Certification first. Every service needs its certification (Tow, Taxi, Bus or Construction). Support units need none.
  2. Then rank. Each vehicle lists the lowest rank that may drive it.
  3. Colour and trim. Follow the colour structure. Using a vehicle, trailer or colour outside your rank is a strike, unless a medal, Free Weekend or Supervisor of the Month perk lets you (tell a Supervisor when you use it).
The official copy is the DOT Database (Vehicle Structure tab). If they ever differ, the database wins.

  • Use the vehicle in “Tow it with”, even if you haven’t unlocked that vehicle on its own yet.
  • Tow trailers need Tow Certified; construction trailers need Construction Certified.
  • Senior DOT Operators using construction trailers must be supervised by a DOT Supervisor or above.
  • Enclosed box trailers are visual roleplay only, to make construction scenes look right.

Session limits

To keep sessions realistic and uncluttered, each vehicle type has a limit per session (rule III). If tow slots are full, go online as a taxi or another DOT vehicle. The CAD shows the slots in use live.

Flatbed trailers share the tow truck slots, so they can’t be used to get around the limit.
