Questions about garages

How to find a garage?

At the beginning of the game, take care of buying a garage for vehicles. First you need to collect a certain amount, and then find the right garage. There are garages in almost all cities. They are marked with the Euro symbol. When you find the garage and collect the money, then move to the corresponding icon. Stand on it to display a notice that indicates the cost of the garage. If you are ready to buy it, then confirm the action with the Enter key.

How to pump a garage?

To improve the garage in Euro Truck Simulator 2, open the main menu of the game and click on the "Company" icon. Select "Garages" and follow the instructions.


In the list of garages, select the one you want to improve. In the upper left corner of the screen there is an "Improve" button. Click on it and then confirm the payment.

How to choose garages?

It is very important that you justify the first garage in the city that is on the official map of the game. Otherwise, it may happen that this city will be removed for compatibility with the main map or futureadditions, as happened with TSM 6.0.1.

The initial garage, or to be more precise - a barn, is given exclusively in one place. To hire a driver, you must:


  1. Upgrade a garage or shed to a normal one for 180,000. After that, three places for three trucks will appear inside. One of them will take your truck and the main character. Thus, there will be two more places for hiring two workers.
  2. It is best, of course, to buy a new garage in another city. In this case, you will immediately receive three new places for hiring drivers and placing their trucks.

When you find yourself in a new city, then pay attention to how much cargo is provided for transportation here and what is their quality. If you see that in the city in the list of goods there is only one page with offers, of which most are food or rubble, then buying a garage here is worth it as a last resort, if there is no other choice. Yes, and you need to do this only when there is simply no place to put money and you want to unlock the "Businessman" achievement.

Find the cities that provide the most valuable cargo offers. Let there be at least three pages of proposals with expensive goods, which include chemicals, tanks underhigh pressure, fuel, explosives and the like, which has a larger number icon on the right side of the description of the cargo itself.


If such a city was found and there are few empty spaces in the garage, then buy a new one without a single hesitation. You can earn even more profit and speed up the development of your own drivers through a wide range of cargo and bonuses for transporting dangerous or valuable goods.

Be careful . When installing various maps and modifications, cities can change the economic component. If earlier there were dangerous goods here, then after the modification, only food can remain.


And here's a live example. One of the most profitable cities on the original map was Swansea from Wales. After installing the Track Sim Map modification, the cheapest loads remained in it, and the offers are barely typed on one page. On the other hand, new profitable places have appeared, such as Tirana from Albania.

How to expand the garage?

Open the "Garages" tab, select the desired garage and click on the "Upgrade" function.


Questions about trucks and car dealerships

Which truck to choose? What is the best truck?

After carefully studying severalabout trucks, I came to the following conclusion:

  1. In the first place, Volvo cars are the most stable and technically reliable. The interior looks great from the inside, the gas tank supply is enough for 2220 km of non-stop driving. Engine power - 750 "horses", cost - 288,040 Euro + payment for painting. There are several drawbacks - frequent drifts on wet roads, a non-working electronic speedometer, which took place in the first part of the game. Not suitable for Britain.
  2. Scania is an agile vehicle with high dynamics. The tank is enough for 2120 km. Engine power - 730 "horses". Cost - 304 120 Euros and payment for painting. On the downside - the impossibility of driving through the Swiss Alps - somersaults will already be at 80 km / h. Not suitable for southern Europe.
  3. MAN is the middle car between the two previous ones. It is characterized by good maneuverability and good stability. The tank is enough for 2350 km. Engine power - 680 "horses". The cost is 285,710 Euros plus painting fees. Has no serious shortcomings. Able to move on wet pavement, demonstrating good grip. In the Swiss Alps, it even enters turns at 85 km / h, there are no skids. Small turning radius in tight spaces.
  4. Majestic (Mersedes) - similar to the previous MAN truck, only it has less power, but a higher cost. It is possible to install on the sidesbki on tanks. The stock of a gas tank is enough for 1980 km. Engine power - 598 horses. The cost is 303,360 Euros plus painting fees. On the minuses - the price, since it is cheaper to buy a better transport - MAN.
  5. Ivedo is an average tractor, which, however, fully pays off the investment. Huge range of accessories - wider than any other tractors. Excellent salon. The tank is enough for 1380 km. Engine power - 560 horses. Cost - 269 190 Euros and payment for painting. On the downside - a small gas tank n a400 l. Not enough for long trips. Actual use up to level 16.
  6. RENAULT and DAF is an option only in the early stages of the game. As they say, cheap and cheerful. Suitable for your first drivers, but I do not advise you to drive this yourself. On the downside - very weak motors and limited functionality.

How to find and open car dealerships?

When moving around cities, look for "question marks". Drive up to them (on the map). It is pointless to look for the location of salons on the Internet - maps are generated randomly!

What is the fastest truck?

Many players dream of driving the best truck in the game. The power of the tractor depends on the power of the installed engine, measured in horsepower. Pay attention to the cars of the Volvo brand - in the game it is called Valiant. Exactly about?? capable of running on a 750 horsepower engine. Next comes Scania. The choice is obvious.

Differences of trucks of different brands?

Within the same brand, tractors differ from each other only in color and configuration. The package includes the engine, body, interior, chassis and more. For this reason, it is not necessary to buy the most expensive truck to be the best. You won’t be able to buy all the components at once, since they will be unlocked over time as you reach new levels.

If the engine includes an engine that is available at level 18, and you have only upgraded to level 17, then you will not be able to purchase it - you will have to wait until level 18 and purchase the template. Choose your own truck configuration to buy it at the current level. To do this, click on the Change Configuration button.

Which chassis is better 6x4 or 4x2 in terms of speed?

In the original game without modifications, the best shas?? and is considered 6x4. Proper adjustments must be made to reap the benefits. There is only one drawback - in such a chassis you will have to use small tanks.

What is a retarder?

Translated from English, retarder means "retarder". This device is necessary to reduce the speed of vehicles without using the main braking system. The use of a retarder is necessary when driving in mountainous conditions. This is especially true on heavyweights - trucks, buses, trains. The retarder is activated during long descents.

There are several different schemes, but hydraulic and electromagnetic are most often operated. There are primary retarders mounted on the input shaft of the gearbox or on the engine shaft, as well as secondary ones mounted on the secondary shaft of the gearbox.

Low air pressure what to do?

There are two ways to get rid of the problem:

  1. Disable emulation or air simulation.
  2. Do not set the parking brake at railroad crossings, ferries, service stations, gas stations, garages, and traffic lights unless the tractor cannot roll on its own while on a downhill slope.

What do I decide?? chassis?

The higher the cost of the chassis, the more stable your truck will be during turns. This moment is especially relevant when removing the speed limit.

What to do if turned over?

Call the 911 rescue service by pressing the appropriate key (see the controls in the game settings). You will have to pay money, but the car will be put on wheels.

What to do if stuck? What to do if you run out of gas?

Rescue Service - F7 key by default.

What is trailer stabilization?

In one of the latest updates, the game introduced a new system called "Auxiliary Trailer Stabilization". It has been integrated into the Electronic Stability Program - ESP, and shares its sensors and some components. Trailer stabilization captures the incipient skid, as well as trailer swaying across the track, after which this movement is suppressed by alternately braking the left and right wheels.

What is cruise control?

You will be able to move around the track without exceeding the speed limit. The display shows a number next to the speedometer. To switch between display views?Do not use the I key. Cruise control is very useful when reaching the maximum speed on straight roads and in dense traffic on narrow routes. I highly recommend not using it when cornering at high speed.

What is a sequential gearbox?

Sequential Manual Gearbox is translated from English as "sequential gearbox". In this case, this gearbox allows only sequential shifting. You cannot jump from second gear to fourth or fifth, etc.

You can find the same gearbox on a motorcycle. Here, switching is done by foot. This is very convenient when you need to quickly change from one gear to another.

Where can I get a double trailer?

Look for double trailers in Scandinavia.

How to accelerate over 90?

Go to the game settings and disable the speed limiter.

How to save fuel?

To switch between the display and the windshield, use the I key. Each truck has an indicator of the fuel in the gas tank. Very handy indicators on Volvo and Scania vehicles. Click on I until you see?Those are the number of kilometers remaining until the gas tank is completely empty. In addition, the display shows the distance remaining to the destination.

Fuel consumption is approximately 29 liters per 100 km without a trailer and 49 liters per 100 km with a trailer. This parameter does not depend on the brand of car and engine power. This does not take into account the "Eco-driving" skill, which allows you to save gasoline.

What to upgrade first?

Engine and chassis.

How to find a service station?

Exit to the menu, click on the "New Enhancement" function. At the bottom of the screen there will be a button "Find the nearest service station". Click and the route will be built on the navigator.

Questions about earnings

How to remove fines? How to avoid speeding tickets?

Absolutely all cameras for recording speeding are located after warning signs installed along the roads. In addition, in front of each camera you can see how the speed of the rest of the cars decreases. If you do not want to pay fines of 550 Euros for speeding, then after such signs, slow down and pay attention to the side of the road. Try to find cameras there. Often, such cameras are installed on structures inIde the letter "G". Much less often they can be seen on a low pole by the side of the road. It is always possible to slow down after you see the appropriate sign.

What cargo is more profitable to transport?

To get started, select the button responsible for sorting goods. Here you need to look for the best in price and distance. So you will understand how much you are paid for the distance traveled (per kilometer). In the future, you will know which track you have to go, how wide or narrow it is. If you want to move along wide autobahns, then first study the presented route on the map.

What happens if the goods are not delivered on time?

Delivering cargo out of time is only possible with urgent goods. Pay attention to the presence of arrows pointing to the right - the more there are, the higher the urgency and the penalty for being late. Choose any cargo regardless of your character's fatigue. The time for its delivery is calculated based on the state of the main character. You will never be given an urgent shipment that you cannot deliver on time due to the need to rest.

During delivery, time for one sleep is usually included - 8 hours. For the transportation of some goods, two or three stops may be included. Thus, when choosing goods, you do not need to?Pay attention to the delivery time. Keep track of the cargo availability time - it indicates the time period after which the goods will disappear from the warehouse.

What are loans for?

You can visit a local bank and take out a loan of 10, 50, 100 or 400 thousand. The first time the bank will allow you to take out a loan of 10,000, but if you can demonstrate good income and repay previous loans on time, then soon the credit line will increase to 400,000.

There is a little trick with loans - the larger the amount of money borrowed, the lower the current repayment rate. You will have to pay less money every day. For this reason, if you want to pay the minimum on a loan, then take not several times for 100 thousand, but once for 400 thousand. Such money will be enough to build a garage in a nearby town and buy a truck to work as a hired driver.

Another trick is that the fee is charged the very next day after taking the loan. If you pay before 12:00 no money will be withdrawn. Try to pay before noon.

The credit line is limited by a limit. After you pay several daily payments, you can take out a loan again - an amount that is a multiple of that indicated at the beginning of the section. K prFor example, if you pay 6,000 daily, then 12,000 should have been returned in two days. Thanks to this, it will be possible to take a loan for another 10-12 thousand.

How to develop a business? How to develop your company?

Here is a strategy for developing a business in the game from the very beginning:

  1. Transport cargo as a mercenary and earn money for your own car. After that, earn money to improve the garage. If necessary, take a bank loan for this.
  2. Hire one driver and assign him a place by offering a purchased truck.
  3. As your own character, continue to work for third-party firms, moving on their trucks. How would you like to sit behind the wheel of your own car! Stock up on patience.
  4. The fact is that with your car you will have to pay for almost everything - gasoline, car workshops, turnstiles, crossings and tow trucks. At the beginning of the game, small salaries are provided - from three to ten thousand. For a beginner, all this income will be spent on repairing their own truck, so you won’t even be able to save money. But when you work for someone else's company, you immediately get a net income, the company pays for everything else out of its own pocket.
  5. Buy a second garage, and locate it as far as possible from the first. If one is in Italy, then send?You go to Germany or Poland for the second.
  6. Expand your own company to five to ten jobs, buy cars and hire drivers for them.
  7. Level up your skills to the maximum to get good money for transporting goods - up to 50,000 per flight. By flying with your own company, you will receive even more money. For this reason, at this stage, you can transfer to your own truck.
  8. All the money you earn will be spent on buying new tractors, garages and improving the latter to hire even more drivers. Gradually, the company will begin to grow, and this will happen not in arithmetic, but in geometric progression.

How to earn while standing still?

Method 1

During rest (sleep) you speed up the course of the game by 9 hours. Please note that the plate with the current task indicates the stop time for rest. Press the F6 key to see. Wake time before stopping is 11 hours. As soon as this time is reduced to ten, you can rest. Sleep takes 9 hours. Depending on how long you have not slept before, there is an opportunity to rest three times in a row.

In the game settings, you need to check the box "Fatigue simulation". In this case, there will bestop time is known.

You can relax almost everywhere - in those places on the map where there is a road sign "Hotel" / "Motel". These include gas stations, turnstiles, parking lots, hotels, car services, ferries, personal garages, and quarries. In the case of a personal garage, sleep on the doorstep.

You can also relax in specially drawn areas - drive into the parking lot, turn off the engine and click on the Enter key. Absolutely all parking in the game is free, even on the territory of the hotel.

Any long-distance flight is designed for several stops - from one to two. The plate with the current task indicates the delivery time of the cargo. For example, this value is 70 hours. Open the mileage of the road with the F5 key and find out what is left to go, for example, 40 hours. This means that 30 hours of this time are given for rest - just for three overnight stays (one per day). Without any stops and speed limiters, this cargo can be delivered twice as fast, but is it needed on site ahead of schedule? Nobody will count it as a plus for you. The cargo must be delivered on time, maybe a little earlier. Use the rest of the excess time for scheduled stops. Sometimes you can speed up on the road and add one more stop to the three stops.

Never neglectedtake the opportunity to rest. Between flights, it is advisable to sleep three times in a row. It will pass three times for nine hours, this is more than a day. You will see a notification that your drivers have completed certain tasks. This will allow you to collect profits faster! You sleep, but at the same time enrich yourself.

Method 2 (Achievement "And the sea is not a hindrance")

The method is similar to the previous one. While you are crossing the sea on a ferry, time is flowing. Choose flights where there is a crossing. For example, deliver goods from Newcastle to Amsterdam and back. Combine this method with the first one - before sailing, sleep if there is enough time for delivery, since the very presence on the ferry is counted as a dream and the wake time is reset to 11 hours, so you do not have to stop.

The crossing time from the port of Newcastle to the port of Amsterdam is approximately 16.5 hours. You will see a download on the screen, which will take a few seconds. For several such crossings, you can raise your capital by several tens, or even hundreds of thousands. However, do not forget that you have to pay a lot of money for crossing on such a ferry, up to $1000. At the beginning of the game, this will hit the pocket, so it is recommended to arrange such trips at the expense of other companies, working on their trucks.

Method 3 (Garage??)

You can travel to your garage from afar using fast travel. Open the tab with garages and select the "Go" button. The method is relevant when working exclusively on your own truck, without cargo (cannot be used while you are on a flight). You move to the garage with your car. But you don't have to pay for it! This feature can be used any time. For this reason, garages should be bought as far apart as possible. When moving from one to another, several days pass.

For example, if you need to go from Aberdeen to Lodz, you will need to spend 2.5 days. During this time, your hirelings will perform on the flight and you will receive good money.

Method 4 (Car dealerships)

The method is similar to the previous, third, but you should move a distance to car dealerships. In this case, the distance to a particular salon does not matter, since only hours are taken into account. If you decide to move to the salon after it closed (after 18:00), then you will be there by the time the new day starts, at 8 am on the next date. If you move to the salon on a Saturday evening, then Sunday will also be added to the flowing time. And it is completely optional after that to buy a car.il.

This movement works literally from the very beginning of the game, even if you do not have your own truck. It is not possible to make these movements during the flight. Visiting salons allows you to rewind time and collect profits from all hirelings. Of course, it is advisable not to abuse these methods.

Imagine how you are moving along the road, and then one notification after another about the next income pops up. If the staff of the company is large, then you can simply move between your own garages manually. Leaving one and reaching the second, you can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Most of the money will have to be spent on the creation of a car park. To have money to buy trucks and employ drivers, use one of the suggested methods. Use a quick trip from one to another part of Europe to open all roads as soon as possible and get the Pathfinder achievement.

If you have not traveled any long road, choose the garage or salon closest to it and go on your own truck.

What to do if there are no orders?

One solution involves changing the config file:

  1. Open folder"My Documents" and navigate to the Euro Truck Simulator 2 directory.
  2. Find and open the config.cfg file with a text notepad.
  3. Use the CTRL+F function to find the lines g_console = "0" and g_developer = "0".
  4. Change "0" to "1" in both lines. Save file changes.
  5. Start a new single player game, open the console and type g_force_economy_reset 1.
  6. Press Esc and reload your profile. Reopen the console and type g_force_economy_reset 0, then reload the profile. Ready!

Technical questions

How to install a map?

Many gamers of Euro Truck Simulator 2 have long been tired of standard maps and cities. Locations, mods. Everyone wants variety, someone wants to ride in Russia, others - in Belarus. And there is such an opportunity, because the sites have numerous mods for cards. But before you can use them, you need to complete the installation. The instruction is quite simple:

  1. Download the map or mod you want to use.
  2. Move the file located in the archive to the MOD folder on your computer. If not, then create it in the game folder.
  3. Go to the game, create a new profile and check the boxes for the mods you need.

How to play pirate online?

On the Internet, you can find numerousvideos that show you how to play with a friend in Euro Truck Simulator 2 on a pirated network. To start this game you will need:

  • Download a pirated version of the game from a trusted site that will explain how to play it properly online. Usually they are on the torrent. Be sure to check the age of the domain - the older the site, the better the content on it. One-day sites pose a particular threat.
  • Download the necessary patches, cracks, fixes for Steam and the network. Install them with a friend. If they are available in the pirated, then you do not have to download. Such patches reduce the likelihood of crashes during the game.
  • Download other programs (tunngel or Hamachi) needed to run the pirated version over the network.
  • Be sure to launch the game through RMB by selecting "Run as administrator".

How to change/change language?

Open the "My Documents" folder, find another one in it - German Truck Simulator. Inside it will be a config or config.cfg file (if you have file permissions shown). Open this file with a regular text editor (notepad), then find the line uset g_lang de_de (for German) and enter the following value: uset g_lang en_en. This will add English voice acting to the game.

How to adjust the steering wheel?

Before using r?For you will have to configure it to avoid any crashes while playing. Go to the following path: Start - Devices and printers - Your devices (steering wheel) - Settings for game control devices - Properties. Make sure you have the latest steering wheel drivers installed. Also examine if the device is in working order.

You should not perform settings by “poke” using a video on the Internet. None of these settings will help you, because the steering wheel, as well as the OS system on the computer, are different.

Set approximately the same settings:

  • Gas and brake must be tied to the pedals.
  • Set left and right turns as default - this option solves numerous problems associated with using the steering wheel.
  • Sensitivity should be at the middle value.
  • Fully enhance the control non-linearity.
  • The feedback should be in the middle of the value.
  • Do not touch the sensitivity threshold.

The data for these settings may be different for each steering wheel, but why not check it out?

How to install mods?

Download the file you need, which has the .scs extension, then drop it into a folder along the path "My Documents - Euro Truck Simulator 2 - mod".

How to fix you must select valid?

To do this, select the correct download path during game installation. Fix all Russian folder names by renaming them in English. Perhaps this will solve this problem.

How to disable DLC Ging East and Scanning?

The current instructions will allow you to disable various add-on games through Steam. Run the Steam client on your computer or laptop, select the game you want and in the right part of the application in the middle, find the item "Additional Content". Through it, the DLC is turned off.

To disable the Going East and Scandinavia add-ons, uncheck the boxes next to the corresponding items. We are talking about Euro Truck Simulator 2 Going East and Euro Truck Simulator 2 Scandinavia. When you uncheck these add-ons, their shutdown will start. It takes less than a minute to complete the process. When everything is completed, then in the column with the list of add-ons, instead of the word "Installed", the phrase "Not installed" will appear. You will now be able to play Euro Truck Simulator 2 without the Going East and Scandinavia add-ons.

What if there is no mod folder?

Go to the documents folder (“My Documents”), find the directory with the name of the Euro Truck Simulator 2 game. Create a Mods folder here and install any modification, after whichconnect it through the profile.

Where are the saves located?

Default: C:\\Users\My Documents\ETS2.

How to add music?

Go to the "My Documents" folder. An approximate path is C:\Users\\Documents\Euro Truck Simulator 2\music. And add music there.

Questions about hired drivers

Why are the workers not working?

The driver can return empty to his own city, where the garage is installed, for only one reason - he could not find a job in the city where he took the goods from his home.

What skill is better to pump for yourself and drivers?

The computer independently decides what kind of cargo your driver will take. If we switch to the pumping of dangerous goods, then the driver will transport them exclusively. For this reason, it would be logical to pump both for yourself and for all drivers a bonus for the distance traveled (look for the icon of a winding road), because it will be relevant regardless of the selected load.

I do not recommend pumping the skill to the very end for hired workers - there are very few trips in the game over 1200-1300 km.

Another useful bonus affecting transpo performance??tnoy company - an increase in urgent deliveries. Do the same as in the first case, because the bonus is relevant regardless of the goods transported.

When both perks are pumped, choose all the others, but do not forget that dangerous goods are much more difficult to transport. It is completely impossible to do this at high speed, so download this bonus last.

One of the most useless perks is the bonus you get for consuming gasoline (eco-driving). Since you can't give orders to hired drivers, eco-driving is an extra two minutes you spend at the gas station. No more. If you plan your route correctly, the skill will be useless.

How to choose hired drivers?

According to the information I have collected, the level of the drivers practically does not affect anything. It's best to take the hired driver with the most achievements unlocked and not look at their level.

Open the Recruitment menu and find the driver that has the most specializations you need, including long haul, high value hauling, urgency and ADR. Moreover, the presence of such does not have any dependence on the level of the driver. Interesting hired workers can even be found?? the very end of the list. Give preference to drivers with two or even three specialization badges:

  • ADR - provides access to the transportation of dangerous and chemical goods, for which you get a lot of money.
  • Valuable and urgent cargo - guarantee big money and experience points for delivery.
  • Fragile Goods - Increases the driver's experience in transporting easily damaged goods, which can be fined for breaking. On the other hand, in case of delivery without damage, you will receive a lot of money.
  • Profitability - I would recommend transporting goods more expensive, and not saving on a couple of liters of gasoline.

Sometimes you can meet very interesting hired drivers, but you may not have money for a new tractor, but there is a free slot in the garage. Take such a driver without a doubt! About 5 or 7 days the driver will wait while you are looking for a truck for him. In extreme cases, it will be possible to give away your truck, and travel yourself as a hired hand.

The list of available drivers in the recruitment agency, as it seemed to me, is not updated at all. Only hires you fired earlier can return there to re-propose their candidacy.

The choice of a particular truck, as well as its power, does not affect the efficiency of the driver. WITHon the other hand, I try to choose tractors for them with the most powerful engines and a retarder on the gearbox. In the latest versions of the game, after the appearance of accessories for the cabin, exterior tuning and exterior decoration of trucks increase the productivity of the hirelings. Exactly how much, I have not been able to verify.

Recruit the first 20 drivers equally - 10 men and women each. This is required to unlock the achievement on Steam. To get a different achievement, the first ten garages need to be upgraded to large ones, filling them with drivers.

What does it take for drivers to pick up loads?

Hire a new driver, buy a new car and hand it over to him. Or pass on an old truck that you personally rode. Then it remains to receive messages about work. Go to the garage, open the log in the driver's profile and see how profitable or unprofitable it is. Do not forget to periodically update the driver's skills if you have not set it to automatic development.

Question about pumping

What is the maximum level in the game?

The game version 1.2.5.1 had a maximum level of 150. At level 35-40, you can already become a "Legend". After that, a banal level increase occurs, which does not really affect anything.

How to swing?

To upgrade hired drivers, use the following strategy:

  1. Level them up to unlock one badge for each specialization, with the exception of economy. This will allow them to select different types of cargo and return empty fewer times.
  2. Level up three specializations in the ADR category, "Valuable cargo" and "Urgent cargo".
  3. Upgrade up to three Long Distance specializations.
  4. Upgrade to the maximum specialization from the second point.
  5. Upgrade up to 5-6 "Long Trip" specializations.
  6. For the rest, allocate points to "Fragile Goods" and last of all to "Economy".

But that's not all. At the beginning, you can refuse to pump the range, except to increase it by one point. With the value of this parameter "0" and "1", the transportation of each cargo will be calculated for a trip of no more than one working day - from sleep to sleep. You can save on sleep, because at first you will have to invest the money you earn in mercenary trucks. In the case of a one-time operation, the counter will be reset every time.

If you're a good driver, add a few points to Fragile Goods. So you'll be able to move high-value items, including me?You and helicopters. Most money and experience points are usually provided for the delivery of urgent cargo. Focus on these goods, especially if there are many icons with similar goods in the city.

For the range, you get a minimum of points and money, if the cargo does not have other features. In addition, such loads have to wait the longest, and the chances that your driver will return empty are much higher.

To level up your own driver, follow the same strategy, except that the range can be increased evenly. Valuable and urgent cargo, as well as dangerous products, bring the most experience points and money. If the city where your driver works has the most chemicals, then the emphasis should be on ADR.

Very important! After each dream, you will receive numerous messages about the delivery of certain goods by your hirelings, income and leveling up. I recommend looking at this list in order to change the boost priority for certain drivers if something happens.

Never delay a priority change, even if a level up message gets you on the way. In order not to search too long, click on the inscription "Status" at the top of the list and see which of the drivers is resting. EIf you react quickly, you will see the right driver at the top of the list.

As soon as the number of your drivers is about a hundred, then set them all to automatic pumping, since the first couple of dozen will probably be pumped to the maximum and give excellent profits (up to a million a day).

What perks to download?

As for the pumping of mercenary cars, then proceed here based on the rating. For beginners, buy simple stock trucks, and after the rating isabout 6 units, start upgrading cars to top versions, equipping them with powerful engines.
