History

Before 2025 the achievement required the player to deliver all routes, but as of 2025 and present day 2026 you just need to deliver in the base game.

Base Game

I can confirm that base game is unpaid DLCs mainly Arizona, California and Nevada

Rules Of The Game

Rules are really basic so lets go over them quickly.
  1. Needs to be in the base game, as described above this is AZ, CA, and NV states.
  2. You need 10 deliveries to be completed of different routes.
  3. Doing the same route more then one does not count towards the points.

Final Notes

AI
Break Checking
Near on ramps it's pretty common for the police car in front of you to slow down rapidly, when near on ramps prepare to slow down to avoid crashing. If you don't have enough time try to avoid the crash by going right on to the side of the road.
Traffic
At times traffic may ignore your right of way at junctions and intersections, I have personally experience AI traffic drive into the police car failing the job. Before entering the intersection ensure before the cop car enters the intersection that no traffic is moving to avoid crashes. If you see traffic moving come to a complete stop to halt the cop car in front of you.
Lane Switching
At times AI escorts may not switch lanes unless your at a slow enough speed, at times I have had to come to a complete stop before the cop car changes lanes. Always wait for the cop to enter the lane before switching lanes.
Road Rules
Driving You have the right away it's fine to run red lights so long as there is no traffic blocking the cop car, stop signs are not required, and you won't get pulled into weight stations.
Gas & Sleep
When you accept a job it will fast forward time a bit for some rest and your tank will be fully fueled for the job automatically. I am not 100% sure if this is covered by the job or if you pay out of pocket for the gas but make sure you have enough money to cover a full tank of gas.
Cargo
Heavy Cargo
It's quite common for heavy cargo to appear for delivery, ensure you have enough power to pull the cargo, Kenworth or Peterbilt are pretty good trucks and do really well when configured right.

See below for recommendations for truck config for heavy cargo.
