that's just the tutorial, you need to do exactly what it says there

you can go to Alaska and leave the garage drive around and go back in or in the menu there is an option to skip the tutorial.

you have to retain the truck to store it. then you can move to alaska and take the truck your of the store. same to go back. with this you can transfer trucks from garage to garage

This is the part of the tutorial you need (needed?) to complete.

"TRAVELLING 1/8"
"You don't have to complete everything in your current location before moving on to the next! Some interesting trucks or resources can only be found in other locations and regions. So, let's do some travelling!

Prepare your truck for transportation by using the Retain function with [SPACE]."

"TRAVELLING 2/8"
"Your vehicle is now placed in the Truck Storage. You are ready to travel! Go to the global map with [G]."

"TRAVELLING 3/8"
"As you can see, you are currently in Michigan.
Let's go visit Alaska.
Switch the region by pressing [E]."

"TRAVELLING 4/8"
"You have access to one of the locations here.
Let's get there and take a look."

"TRAVELLING 5/8"
"You have a garage waiting for you here. This is your primary base of operations for the time being. Let's get inside.
Select the Garage in the Objects {STRING} tab and enter it."

"TRAVELLING 6/8"
"It is empty because your vehicle is still in storage. Go to the Truck Storage to see how it works."

"TRAVELLING 7/8"
"You can now deploy your retained vehicle from the storage."

"TRAVELLING 8/8"
"Your vehicle has been deployed. Now let's leave the garage and go explore Alaska!"

"ALASKA"
"Welcome to Alaska! Now you know the basics of the game it's up to you to scout, accept contracts, upgrade or buy new vehicles and conquer the wilderness!

Completing contracts in Alaska might be tougher because of the weather conditions. If you want to be more prepared, you are free to come back to Michigan and explore Alaska later.

Don't forget to scout uncharted areas, discover watchtowers, and run contracts from the {STRING} map menu!"

This part in tutorial is so annoying.
Sure it says what to do, but it's easy to try wrong things because those right options are not highlighted.

Also during this it's too easy to missplace your truck at alaska and forget you have/own it.

The tutorial wants you to use the travel features to visit Alaska, it's pretty poorly conveyed considering so many people get stuck in the garage and don't understand why.

Alternatively, if you pause the game and go to settings, at the bottom of the first screen there is an option to skip tutorial.

Hi does anyone now how to get out of the garage, keeps saying something about having to finish all jobs in Alaska but how can i finish them if it won't let me out.

Thanks

I'm glad i'm not the only one to have fallen into this trap. There's no way to leave the garage if you haven't finished the tutorial. you can't leave the garage by truck or by fast travel.

People keep saying that i am playing this in the tutorial, i'm not i'm playing it in normal game mode and i can't get out of the garage without restarting the whole game again.

I have tried everything and i'm stuck in the garage on every profile. I think this game is a waste of money.

Maybe kind of a video could help us understand where you are currently in the game and what you already did.

Did you ever do a contract or task? Could you ever free roam? My guess also is you are stuck in the tutorial, without knowing you are in the tutorial.

I read you're in Alaska. The game shows you with a blinking icon what you have to do next.

Just search your whole screen for it. If you can't find anything, open the map and check again. There got to be something.

This is the in-game tutorial for region travel.

I'm afraid I forgot to narrate this; if you need a narrated version, please ask.

"normal game mode" is the tutorial, it's integrated into the game.

this is the correct solution, thanks

colinedmund and SlayerOne, could you please watch my 3-minute video and tell me at which point you were stuck? or what you did differently?

My video is almost an hour long, but, it will explain every thing a beginner needs to know, and completes the tutorial..
