Carcato: Dispatch

Carcato: Dispatch is a logistics tycoon game played in slow time. You start a haulage company in Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Germany, France or Spain with a single van, then grow into rigid trucks and tractor units with matching trailers, a road network spanning hundreds of European cities, depots, workshops and hired drivers whose skills and fatigue matter. Every contract is a small puzzle: right cargo, right vehicle, right driver, against a deadline and an expected profit, with customs delays at borders outside the EU.

Trips and repairs carry on while the app is closed, so it is built for checking in a few times a day rather than long sessions, and it needs an internet connection. The developer keeps adding countries. Players who enjoyed Euro Truck Simulator for the business side more than the driving will find that side on its own here.
