In Taxi Boss, you pick up sand piles by staying inside your car, driving over the sand pile, and pressing and holding the E key to attach the sand to the back of your taxi. You do not need to get out of the vehicle.
How to Pick Up Sand in Taxi Boss (Step-by-Step)
Picking up sand can feel confusing at first, but the process is simple once you know how it works.
1. Stay Inside Your Taxi
You must remain inside your vehicle. Getting out will not let you pick up sand.
2. Drive Over the Sand Pile
Slowly position your taxi directly over the sand pile so it is aligned with the back of your car.
3. Press and Hold the E Key
While your car is over the sand pile, press and hold E.
The sand pile will automatically hitch to the back of your taxi.
4. Haul the Sand
Once attached, you can drive the sand pile to its required destination and complete the task.
Important Things to Know
- You cannot pick up sand on foot
- The sand attaches only when you hold E, not tap it
- Make sure your taxi is properly aligned with the sand pile
- Driving too fast can make alignment harder
Why This Confuses Many Players
Most players assume they need to exit the car to interact with sand piles. Taxi Boss uses vehicle-based interaction instead, which is why staying inside the taxi is required.
Final Tip
Slow down when approaching sand piles and hold E until the sand is fully attached. Once you get the timing right, sand hauling becomes quick and easy.
