Few tips about hired drivers: Most profitable cargoes are special cargoes and hazardous cargoes. Make sure to buff up all skills initially for them to unlock all type of cargoes which will broaden their availbility for taking next cargo. I usually start with 3 basic ADR skills (up to ADR Cat 3 for gas oil and diesel fares which are most common in chemical companies and are almost everywhere) Then I go with 2 skills for On time delivery, then, fragile cargo (1 skill) and high value cargo (1 skill) and then I max out long distance. At the very end I finish for ADR categories and at last ecodriving which is useless skill. Garage locations - use logistics map to check what type of cargoes at which cities are available and buy garage for cities where your type of cargo is available. Not all cities has ADR cargoes. Usually there are some type of trailers which always will give your drivers some jobs from beginning. These are: -Curtainsider -Wooden floor flatbed with container attachments (best overall use trailer, its cheap and makes various of cargoes available for transport, even ADR cargoes) -Cistern for edible goods (no skill most profitable trailer, but it is more expensive) -Steel dumper One more advice from me, if you want to take refigerated goods, you can buy insulated trailer instead of refrigerated, it will give you possiblity to take same cargo and its cheaper. Thats my advices from my experience with garages and drivers :)

Eco driving is not useless tho bud, atleast i dont think it is, saves money on fuel, so every mile you drive then costs less, this is usually what i go for first alongside ADR, switching between them until they are both lvl3, then i get 1 point in everything apart from long distance as this will open up the job opportunities aswell. So thats the first 9 skills, after that you pick a skill to max out, as they will be able to do any job that appears for their range. I tend to go for 1 driver in each of the 4 basic skills, for my first garage, so 1 will be long distance, 1 will be heavy cargo, 1 for just in time and 1 for fragile. Im still testing this last part to see if it just works best to put them on a balance skill selection and leave them alone, so dont quote me on anything yet, LOL

I could wait for the milestone before buying any new trucks or trailers, but at this stage, €200,000 for a new truck or trailer seems like pocket change. Way past taking loans - there should be some way of lending the money out to earn interest!🙂 Or even buying the companies, warehouses and factories that you deliver to.

You can just sleep then travel from one garage to another then sleep again and repeat. Make all the money you want just by the hired drivers. At this point is more of a real estate and mangement game. But still its fun
@turcaneo6 ай бұрын
that is good advice, and to that I would add: - If you have access to map dlc's, then i recommend to buy garages for your drivers in countries which allow double trailers. Citeis such as Madrid, Lisbon, Stockholm are the best for them to grow fast (especially when you buy them double trailers: curtainsider for big variety and insulated for medical vaccines - best paid cargo). - avoid buying garages in port cities for the drivers, because they will spend a lot of time on boat and will be less productive.

Actually, I recently started a new profile. I got bored at Level 102 as there's not much to play for except a few outstanding achievements. And when you first start out you do have the fun of getting new levels and skills fairly quickly. And it's when you first start out that these tips and tricks matter most. Nearly Level 10 after 12 hours play and started paying back the loans.

• Use Content Browser, Company Browser to determine the companies (and cargo type) in that town/city. • Large garage required for in-house refill station. • An alternative method of fast travel is Quick Travel. This will teleport the truck to a service station. Note: only works when not in a job, the town/city was already visited, and it has a service station. For cities/towns without a service station, but has a garage, the tip in the video applies. • Edge garages can be exploited by employees with maxed Long Distance skill. • Some rest stops (especially hotels in cities/towns that aren't reworked yet) can only fit a truck without a trailer. Garages can fit an entire truck. Note: extended low beds and low loaders may need reversing, as they won't fit at the back entrance.

You can uncouple the trailer somewhere safe, then park your truck at a hotel. Then reattach and continue. Where possible I like to be on a ferry when sleeping so I keep moving.

Profits are already maximized by default in the game..You're getting around 60k-80k Euros for a 2000km delivery on Level 22..This is nowhere close to real life :D Nobody pays 40 euros/km for a normal delivery..Realisticly it is somewhere between 1-5 euros/km if you drive with your own truck and your own trailer..

@@martinnikolov2363 What you don't seem to take into account is that SCS aren't just making a game for one set of gamers, in your example getting every single aspect of being a truck driver 100% from Taxes/Insurance (which can vary country by country) to Oil changes. They need to find a compromise between, amongst others, players who want it to be 100% like driving a truck in real life, those who like the business element, those who like to get from A to B as quickly as possible...while at the same time paying attention to background details (e.g. foliage, AI traffic) and ensuring you don't need to have a high spec gaming computer to play the game. Along, of course, with introducing new content. And they have done (especially in recent years) a good job - there are a number of options in the settings which help towards this. Also businesses need to make money and, compared to some other games, the price of the base game and additional maps are reasonable. No Simulator is ever going to match real life 100% (lets exclude Simulators used to train pilots and train drivers etc for now). However - considering ETS2 has been around for a while, is still will played and still attracting more players I am pretty sure SCS are doing something right...and probably have a better idea than you (or me). Are there additional things I would like - yes. Do I accept that I will need to wait or that they may not come at all - yes. Do I rant and rave and get mad about it - no.

@@martinnikolov2363 What would you have the devs do? Make it even a little more realistic? I'm already sick of long drives and I'm not even level 15. I haven't done any significant calculations but it seems like the distance and time scales 18 (or so):1. Spending a couple hours irl to drive 2000km gets old real fast. It's about appealing to as many people as possible, not to the occasional nerd who wants the realism of driving (which a lot of people hate) for several months in real life time to buy a digital truck worth $0 in real life. Anyone with half a brain knows this isn't scaled to real life so your OP is pointless.

There is a point in the game when you own at least 2 garages and have drivers hired. You can just sleep and fast travel from one garage to another, sleep again and repeat. Make money by the drivers, buy more tucks, hire more, buy other garages. Ends up like a real estate game but its still fun.
