Image:godfather smuggler.png Smuggler Hijack 10 Racket Trucks
Racket trucks are the large cargo trucks driving around the city. The color of the truck corresponds to the family the truck belongs to (Green - Barzini, Red - Cuneo, Blue - Stracci, Brown - Tattaglia). Barzini trucks are worth the most, while Tattaglia trucks are worth the least. To hijack a racket truck, keep slamming into it with a vehicle or shoot it up with a firearm. When you do enough damage to it, it will stop. But watch out - at this point rival gangsters protecting the goods will jump out of the back and start attacking you. You must kill them and then pressure the driver of the truck to give you his keys. Once he does, hop in the truck and deliver it to a truck drop-off spot before the family you stole it from blows you up.

This is easily the most difficult achievement of the game. In order to reach respect level 50 you need to complete all missions, hit contracts, and favors. You need to have fulfilled the bonus condition in each hit contract. You need to have taken over all businesses, rackets, warehouses, hubs, drug fronts, and compounds. You need to have collected every film reel and cracked every safe. You need to heist all banks and win all prize fights. You need to perform every execution style. You also should purchase every piece of clothing as you get a respect bonus, you can wear whatever you want but this will help. If you're still short, keep killing mobsters until you get there. You can bribe police officers on the streets. If you can't find any mobsters because you've wiped them out, hijack racket trucks and a couple will jump out from them. Heisting banks gets you 8,000 respect per bank. If you have a lot of money you can continue to hire and then dismiss the assassin crew members ($10,000 to hire), this gets you respect each time you hire them, this can be done fairly quickly.
