Switchback Couriers: Delivery Tycoon

A small depot. A city full of parcels. A fleet with places to be. Switchback Couriers is a calm logistics management game: connect your depot to the city with roads, choose your vans and how they drive, and turn daily deliveries into a network that runs like clockwork.

Vans only reach destinations the road network actually connects to. Sorting facilities consolidate loads, fleet workshops keep vans running and support more of them, and the dispatch office improves deadlines and route planning. Pick which parcel goes next, decide between express and economical driving, keep the tanks full and the fleet maintained, and read the traffic forecast before each dispatch. Between dispatches, rearrange anything.
