Freight Fate

An audio trucking game for blind and visually impaired players. Haul freight between more than 600 American cities in a Class 8 truck, on highways and streets built from real maps, and build a career from your first load.

DownloadsUser manual

Free for Windows, Apple Silicon Macs, and Linux on x64 or ARM64.

Hear the road

The engine sound pans toward the side you need to steer, the road noise tells you where you sit in your lane, and a GPS warns you of bends, grades and speed-limit drops before you reach them. Take your exit and slow down the ramp.

  • Ten gears, manual with a clutch or automatic, and a three-stage engine brake
  • Real lane counts, exit ramps at their real lengths, and city streets to the dock
  • Loads that shift in a fast bend, and tankers that slosh

Cross a real America

More than 600 cities, each with its own ports, rail ramps, farms and plants to load at. Speed limits follow each state's truck law, the weather can come live from the National Weather Service, and road work comes from real state reports.

  • Truck stops with meals, showers, repairs and loyalty points
  • Weigh stations, CAT scales, and chain laws on the western grades
  • Thousands of roadside billboards, state welcome signs and real roadside attractions

Build a career

Start as a company driver or buy in as an owner-operator. Earn your endorsements, take loads from the dispatch board, and keep your hours legal. Troopers and inspectors are on the road, and your driving record follows you to the carrier and the insurer.

Driving assists

Assists can hold your lane, take bends and exits, and stop you at the dock. Turn on as many or as few as you like.

Tune in across the country

Thousands of real radio stations come in and fade out as you drive, next to Freight Fate's own stations of original songs. Play your own music from a playlist, or switch to music the game composes as you go.

Made for screen readers

Every screen speaks through your screen reader, including NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver and Orca, with Speech Dispatcher on Linux, and every spoken line also appears as text. Play from the keyboard or a controller, move any driving control to another key, follow along on a braille display, and learn every sound in the game before you meet it on the road.
