Transport Trucks in Z Route: Redemption
Transport trucks are a daily activity: you send a truck with cargo, it travels a random route where other players can raid it, and you collect what is left when it arrives. The top rarity is UR, the truck many players call the mythic truck, and one UR dispatch scores 220,000 points on the construction day of the alliance competition. This page covers rarities, the alliance Freight Train, raid limits and the Convoy research tree.
Transport Trucks
Commanders send trucks to escort cargo every day, and each truck comes with 1 free refresh, so use it. One guide says that after dispatch the truck moves along a random route, can be raided on the way and pays the remaining rewards when the timer ends. Rewards grow with the truck quality and with your Base level, and one guide counts up to 4 escorts a day, with more squads allowing more at the same time.
The window has three tabs: Other trucks, My truck and Freight Train. Some lists name the whole feature Doomsday Freight, and the cargo includes gear chests for crafting.
Truck Rarities
Trucks come in five qualities: N, R, SR, SSR, UR. One guide lists these cargo rewards, where each tier adds to the one below.
| Rarity | Rewards |
|---|---|
| N | Food, Metal, Oil, SR resource chest, speedup chest, Special Ops token |
| R | all N rewards, R diamonds, alliance contribution |
| SR | all R rewards, R gear chest, alliance contribution |
| SSR | all SR rewards, SSR gear chest, SSR diamonds, recruit card, UR hero fragment |
| UR | The same set as SSR, in larger amounts |
A UR truck gives more UR Omni Hero Shards and more diamonds than the lower tiers, together with other rewards in large amounts, including SSR decoration chests. The same guide says the 5th and later cargo refresh in the convoy guarantees a UR truck, which makes refreshing a route to the top quality.
Mythic Truck
The top UR truck, often called the mythic truck, is the gold one at the end of the rarity ladder. Its value shows in the alliance competition: on Tuesday, the Base Construction day, one UR Transport Truck dispatch scores 220,000 points. The VS page lists the other days.
Guides give the same advice for this day. Refresh your trucks to UR during the event, when bigger rewards and points matter. A Convoy Points Buff node in the alliance competition research adds more points per truck, with 10 levels and a need for Alpha Research Division 15 to 24.
Freight Train
The Freight Train is an alliance feature that runs every day next to your personal truck. One guide describes it step by step:
- Alliance leaders of rank P4 and P5 choose the captain, who is the driver of the train.
- It carries 20 passengers a day, in four cars of five members each, and the alliance sets the boarding order.
- The captain picks the squads and heroes that defend the train.
- Two VIP seats exist: the Guard Officer, where the strongest player by power defends instead of the captain, and the Special Agent, who earns rewards for two cars at once and needs confirmed participation.
- Each car passes 1 to 3 contracts to the captain, usually 3, and that speeds up the upgrade.
Upgrading to gold turns all cars gold. With more than five players in a car, the rewards go to a random five. Without contracts you can upgrade the train with diamonds. A log shows who boarded and who passed contracts, and a Passenger gifts window holds the rewards. The community says a train can be raided 4 times in total. An update in August 2026 added a last-boarding reminder, chat notices for extra departures and push notices for VIP invitations. Your alliance setup is covered on the alliance page.
Truck Raids
Raiding is how you take cargo from other players. One guide gives these limits: each commander can make 4 successful raids a day, and one truck can be raided 2 times. Soldiers are not lost in the fight, and a win gives random supplies from the truck. You can also send strong heroes to defend your own truck.
One guide says to target trucks that carry hero shards. The raid windows count both limits, for example Raids available 0/2 for a truck and Pillaged today 4/4 for the commander. Your strongest heroes are the ones to send as defenders.
Convoy Research
The Convoy tree improves trucks and raids, and its nodes need Alpha Research Division 15 to 17. One guide lists these nodes with their totals.
| Node | Effect | Levels | Alpha Research Division | Research Data | Total time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Capacity | Personal Transport Truck Basic Cargo Capacity | 5 | 15 | 3,800 | 10d 1h 30m |
| Transport Truck Power | Convoy Movement Speed | 5 | 16 | 4,400 | 19d 2h 45m |
| Pillage Knowledge | When pillaging other Transport Trucks, Hero HP/ATK/DEF | 10 | 16-17 | 9,400 | 53d 12h 30m |
| Transport Truck Armament | When defending your Transport Truck, Hero HP/ATK/DEF | 10 | 16-17 | 9,400 | 53d 12h 30m |
| More Pillage | Chance to get an extra cargo from a successful pillage | 5 | 17 | 5,000 | 34d 9h 45m |
| Emergency Procedure | Chance to retrieve a cargo from a failed defense | 5 | 17 | 5,000 | 34d 9h 45m |
| Additional Transport Truck | Daily Shipment | 1 | 17 | 5,000 | 6d 21h 9m |
| Anti-Pillage | Number of Failed Pillages (Same Player) | 1 | 17 | 2,000 | 6d 21h 9m |
| Elite Hauler | When refreshing cargo, there's a chance for an Elite Hauler to appear, which can be pillaged once upon a failed defense | 1 | 17 | 2,000 | 6d 21h 9m |
Research Data totals are rounded. Convoy ranks low among research trees: skip it early, finish the alliance competition research and the T10 research first, and if you invest later, time the upgrade for VS Research Day so the Research Data also scores event points. The research page covers the other trees.
Daily Truck Plan
Beginner guides put the Transport Truck on the daily list with Arena, Mission Readiness, Giant Invader and Special Ops. Send a truck every day, spend the free refresh, and treat the UR plan for Tuesday as an extra for VS weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the mythic truck in Z Route Redemption?
The top UR transport truck is often called the mythic truck. The truck rarities run N, R, SR, SSR and UR, and UR is the gold one. A UR truck pays the biggest rewards, including UR Omni Hero Shards, and dispatching one UR truck scores 220,000 points in the alliance competition.
How does the Freight Train work?
The Freight Train is a daily alliance feature with its own tab in the trucks window. Leaders of rank P4 and P5 choose a captain, members board the cars, and cars pass contracts to the captain to upgrade the train to gold. One guide describes 20 passengers a day in four cars of five.
How many times can a truck be raided?
One guide says a single truck can be raided 2 times and that each commander can make 4 successful raids a day. A win gives random supplies from the truck. You can also send strong heroes to defend your own truck.
When should I send UR trucks?
Save UR trucks for Tuesday, the Base Construction day of the alliance competition, when a UR dispatch scores 220,000 points. Guides say to refresh your trucks until a UR one appears during the event, because bigger rewards and points are at stake.
Is Convoy research worth it?
Convoy is a low priority Research Data tree. Finish the alliance competition research and the T10 research first. If you invest, time it for VS Research Day so the Research Data also scores event points. The tree needs Alpha Research Division 15 for its first node and 17 for the last ones.
