One more thing that may be helpful for those who are entering with transit visa. Basically on border you will be given transit paper than has generic map of Turkmenistan main roads and your itinerary is drawn on this paper, as well are written transit point names (plus it has 5 different stamps from different officials).
This is to keep you on given route. However, I think when someone starts preparing this paper for you you can tell him you want different itinerary than one listed in your transit visa. I guess if he is not in bad mood he can alter itinerary a bit along your wishes. If you don't tell him he will put the route you have in your passport. Once the paper is done you'll need to stick to the route.
The paper also lists all fees you need to pay to enter (like insurance, fuel tax etc), for me total was 58 USD (bike).
