With this module, you can invest in the trucking business to earn a profit when opponents buy containers to stock their harbors.
Purple owns the Truck Company that transports containers to Blue’s harbor.
TRUCK COMPANIES
FREIGHT FEES
When using Trucking Companies, each time you take a Factory Purchase action, you must pay an additional $1 fee to your local Truck Company (similar to paying union wages when you produce).
This fee is always $1, no matter how many containers you buy. Pay it to whoever currently owns your Truck Company:
YOUR LOCAL TRUCK COMPANY
Your board extension represents the local Truck Company that transports containers to your harbor when you take a Factory Purchase action.
At the start of the game, your Truck Company is independent. Any player can acquire an independent Truck Company through a Bank auction (next page).
Players use their 3 trucks to mark the Truck Companies they own. You can only own 1 Company per truck you have; once you've placed all 3, you can't bid on any more Truck Companies.
Bidding Cash or Containers
When you start a new Truck Company auction, you can place either cash or containers on the Truck Company bid tile, following normal rules. When outbidding an opponent, you must bid the same currency as that opponent (e.g. if they bid containers, you must bid more containers, not cash).
Acquiring a Truck Company
When you win a Truck Company auction, pay your bid to the Off-Shore Bank, following normal rules. Take any cash next to your new Truck Company into your hand, then place a truck on the Company.

USING THIS EXPANSION
This expansion adds 3 new gameplay modules: Truck Companies (pg.3), Player Loans (pg. 6), and Luxury Containers (pg. 9). These modules can be used together or separately.
SETUP
During normal setup, each player flips their player aid to the expansion side (with a ). Follow the steps below for the modules you want to use.
Truck Companies
1 Place the Truck Company bid tile and auction token near the Off-Shore Bank.
2 Each player takes their Truck Company board extension and places it next to their player board.

A 15 Player Trucks
(3 per player)
b 5 Player Board Extensions

d 1 Truck Company Bid Tile
e 15 Player Loan Cards

TRUCK COMPANY AUCTIONS
Bidding on Truck Companies works the same as bidding on Off-Shore Bank auction lots. If the Truck Company auction token is in the supply, you can use a Call Bank action to start an auction on any independent Truck Company. If the token is on a Truck Company, you can place a higher bid on that Company.
There can only be 1 active Truck Company auction at a time (in addition to the normal number of Bank lot auctions). Follow all other rules for Bank auctions on pg. 12-15 of the base rulebook.
A Independent
Place the $1 in a faceup pile next to your Truck Company (like an Off-Shore Bank auction lot).
B Opponent-Owned
Pay the $1 directly to the opponent who owns your Company.
C Self-Owned
If you own your Truck Company, you don’t pay freight fees.
A
Orange uses a Call Bank action to start an auction on their own Truck Company. They decide to bid 1 container instead of cash.
b
Purple uses a Call Bank action to outbid Orange. They can only bid containers, not cash.
