Courier & Logistics Tycoon · Browser · Free
Build your logistics empire. From cargo bike to your own freight company.
Frachtfürst is a free browser-based tycoon game. Accept orders on real German coordinates, dispatch them, plan tours with drivers and vehicles — and grow into the market leader through the freight exchange, networks, and a deep, server-authoritative economy.
One clear loop — four steps, endless depth.
Every order runs through the same chain. Master it and optimize, and you earn. Slip up, and you pay contract penalties, lose reputation — or slide into overdraft.
-
STEP 01
Accept
Real shipments wait at the Order Market around your depot — parcels, refrigerated goods, bulky items, pallets. Each with weight, volume, deadline, and payout.
-
STEP 02
Dispatch
Set the right surcharges (cold chain, hazmat, insurance, tolls). Forget a mandatory surcharge and the goods spoil — delivery fails.
-
STEP 03
Drive
Assign a driver and vehicle and bundle tours cleverly. Along the way: traffic jams, breakdowns, and accidents loom. Driver skill, morale, and stamina decide your speed.
-
STEP 04
Get paid
On time = full payout and reputation. Invoicing runs on payment terms and early-payment discounts — liquidity is everything.
No clicker idler. An economy that challenges you.
The server computes every amount, tick, and outcome — nothing can be cheated. Money only ever moves through a real accounting journal. That makes every decision real.
Fleet & Paint Shop
Eleven vehicle types from cargo bike to distribution truck — with real payload, cargo volume, and cargo types. Your own fleet color included.
Staff
Hire drivers with skill levels, keep their morale up with fair pay — or they quit. Stamina and experience grow with every tour.
Recurring Contracts
Repeat orders at fixed prices. Predictable revenue — but contract penalties if you slip up too often.
Tenders
Bid on premium freight. The reputation-weighted bid wins — not always just the lowest price.
Freight Exchange
Hand off your own orders to other couriers or take on their freight. Bid, negotiate with counter-offers, and chat in real time.
Long-Haul & Freight Forwarders
Distant destinations run through freight forwarders — or drive the long tour yourself. As a network, you can even found your own freight company.
Networks & Treasury
Form alliances with a shared network treasury, dues, savings goals, group insurance, and payouts at the push of a button.
Insurance
Policies cover damage and accidents proportionally. In a network, a group policy covers all members more cheaply.
Loans & Bankruptcy
Players lend each other money at minimum interest rates. If your credit rating falls short and your overdraft tips over, forced liquidation looms, up to bankruptcy.
Leaderboard & AI Competition
Company value decides your rank. AI companies settle in your area, trade alongside you, and eventually retire.
This is what your business looks like.

Your pace, your world.
Same rules, same economy — only the clock ticks differently. You have one company per world and can switch anytime.
Fast
Brisk and dense — for optimizers who want to iterate quickly, stack tours, and storm the leaderboard.
Real-Time
One game day is a real day. Relaxed growth: check in once a day, dispatch, and let it grow.
Eleven vehicles, real limits.
From the nimble courier for documents to the truck for pallets — every vehicle only carries certain cargo types and has real payload and volume limits. The right vehicle for the right cargo is half the battle.
