Introduction
This guide spoils you a lot of information and make it easy to get all the achievements very quick. So if you want to discover it by yourself, go leave this guide immediatly! This guide is part of my American Truck Simulator 100% Achievement-Guide [ENG]

2 of the 5 achievements are a bit tricky, especially "How Heavy am I?!". But for the rest you just need to be careful when driving and you can save a lot of time with the right tactics, explained in this guide.

You can filter Heavy Cargo missions by clicking on the right field in the upper left corner of the mission window and select the specific cargo. Heavy cargoes from the Special Transport DLC are unimportant for all Heavy Cargo Pack achievements!

Before you start
You can do the following three achievements as part of the "I Thought This Should Be Heavy?!" achievement.

Time for Big Hauling
Deliver first Heavy Cargo Pack job


Heavy, but Not Bull in a China Shop!
Complete a perfect delivery (no damage, no fine, in-time) of a cargo from the Heavy Cargo Pack which is at least 1,000 miles long

Bigger Cargo, Bigger Profit
Earn $100,000 on 5 consecutive Heavy Cargo Pack deliveries


If you go for 5 consecutive Heavy Cargo Pack delivieries, you can go for one with 1,000 miles and you`ll easily unlock the three achievements. The distance must be over 1,000 miles when you accept the mission. If its only 999 miles and you think you can drive two more miles to get this achievement: Your wrong!

As mentioned above, you can also choose 5 different cargoes for your delivery, so that every delivery will count for the "I Thought This Should Be Heavy?!" achievement.
How Heavy Am I?!
How Heavy Am I?!
Use truck scale or weigh station with gross vehicle weight of at least 175,000 lbs


This one is a bit tricky. You need to accept a mission where you have to deliver a Transformer and use a truck with a sleeper cabin ( International LoneStar Sky Rise Sleeper should work). But thats still not enough. You also need to fill your fuel tank with the maximum amount of gallons and than you can go and drive to a weigh station! Normaly this is enough to unlock the achievement.
I Thought this Should Be Heavy?!
I Thought This Should Be Heavy?!
Complete a delivery of all heavy cargoes in American Truck Simulator


There are 10 different cargoes you must deliver for this achievement. As said before, the ones from Special Transport do not count!
  • All Terrain Crane (77 500 lb)
  • Heavy Bulldozer (89 000 lb)
  • Cable Reel (66 000 lb)
  • Crawler Tractor (55 500 lb)
  • Lift Truck (118 500 lb)
  • Lift Truck Chassis (94 500 lb)
  • Milling Machine (97 000 lb)
  • Scraper (90 000 lb)
  • Transformer (123 500 lb)
  • Cotton Harvester (70 000 lb)
Tip in advance: Go and copy the list into a document and after every successful ride delete the cargo you`ve driven or mark it with another color. So you dont have to do the same cargo/route twice.

Since last update you only need 8 different cargoes for I Thought this Should Be Heavy?! . I know it sucks that they changed everything. And I always appreciated how rare achievements were in ATS.

"How Heavy Am I?!" can be triggered/unlocked using some of the heaviest Forestry DLC loads. I did it with the Log Stacker on a weighing scale inside of a cargo yard even though I don't have the Heavy Cargo DLC. I was using the mod truck International Eagle 9800i at the time.

It turned out I was missing the Cotton Harvester … it’s all done now 100%

Dunno. Maybe it reseted after one of the patches when changing the cargos?

in the ATS game, under career menu, you can access your delivery log. There is a search function on the top right in which you can search for the name of the cargo you hauled.
I searched all of the heavy cargos, and I confirm that I completed a delivery of each type. However, I still can't complete the achievement of "I Thought this Should Be Heavy?!"

What am I missing?

I feel like it should be noted, you only have to make a total of $100k with 5 jobs. Each job does not have to be $100k each. 5 jobs at $20k each will work. Just to avoid any confusion. Thank you for your work!

Fixed it

@Sword Of Baphomet and anyone else looking at this guide wondering why it says 9 when they reverently changed it to 10 when they added in the Cotton Harvester to the Heavy Cargo DLC.

So if your trying to complete this and wondering what the 10th new cargo you need is, it is that, the Cotton Harvester.

new cargo added and it's not the Beet Harvester
