Carry On Together cargo flying out happens when the load shifts under cornering or on a slope: close the tailgate properly with E, hold E to force it shut if the pieces do not fit, and brake with Space before the corner instead of through it.

Carry On Together cargo flying out: what shakes it loose

Cargo shifting and coming loose on the road is a known failure mode of the job. One sharp turn can send the whole cargo flying, and players report that pieces such as a sofa sometimes fly for no obvious reason. The load is a physical stack in an open bed, so anything that moves the truck quickly enough also moves the furniture.

Slopes are the other case. A mountain dirt road that looks like a gentle climb is enough for a badly stacked load to creep sideways, and the same applies when the load is stacked high against the tailgate.

What the demo builds changed

The physics behind this was patched out step by step during the demo. One update stopped the truck from being flung around, stopped items slipping under the truck bed and stopped rescued items being launched. A later one stopped the truck launching when the driver gets in or out, when the driver is pulled out through the door or when it touches the ground, stopped loads coming loose on slopes, stopped the truck being flung when its rear door was opened, and stopped the vehicle camera shaking from flying items and pole debris.

So a lot of the old chaos is gone, but the underlying rule has not changed: the load is a stack of objects, and the stack obeys the same physics you do.

Keeping the load on the bed

  1. Press E to slide the load in, and hold E to force the tailgate shut if the pieces do not fit.
  2. Keep the heaviest pieces low and against the cab end rather than stacked on top.
  3. Brake with Space before a corner instead of through it, and steer with A and D in small inputs.
  4. Take slopes slowly and in a straight line, where the road allows it.
  5. If a piece does come loose, stop rather than chasing it at speed. A sofa on the road at 40 km/h is a repair bill, not a save.

The loading order that stops this happening in the first place is on the loading the truck guide.

What a lost load costs

A rough drive is paid for out of the contract. Job pay falls with item damage and destroyed items add a contract penalty, so every piece that ends up in a ditch is money taken off the invoice rather than a piece of furniture lost. The item damage penalty guide spells out exactly how the deduction is calculated.
