I set a nickname on my driver profile, OnederTrucker 'King of The Green Highway', or is it like animal house where you guys decide what I get called?

If it is?


Please, be gentle.
PM Cheese, he can put it up for you.

Cheese, I see the collection percentage has been decreasing lately, good stuff! Are you bidding on contracts as planned, as the PPM seems quite attractive. Do we need to meet any other requirements other than member count and is our company going to be able to handle a contract?

Yeah I saw it drop to 10% which I do appreciate. 15 I was kinda questioning what I got out of it.

So with the fuel discount, does it only apply at terminals? I usually fill up on the way when you can spot fuel for as low as $1.85. In cities it's always $2.50 so if I do some Jew-math our terminals are $2.25 for fuel right?

I've been taking runs, but I can't seem to make much cash. Is it because I'm such a new driver? Or, do need to figure this game out more?

Any advice?

Thanks in advance!

It currently defaults to 40.000lbs. Do I just leave it at that?
Yes, unless you're willing to risk a ticket. Up to you!

Took a look at your route history, here's my advice:
1. Don't haul general merchandise - it pays the lowest. Always select a cargo type.
2. When selecting a route, first go to "game statistics" in the driver menu sidebar, then "city statistics" - pay attention to what cargo the city you are in supplies, and match it up with a city that demands it. If you have a few choices, choose each city and hit "calculate" - take note of the total amount you'll get paid and the $/mile. Don't forget to change the cargo type before calculating...
3. The routes you're selecting right now are just too short. Pick something mid-range. Don't go cross country until you get a good feel of things and/or a better truck, but the short ones aren't worth it unless you're playing enough to get 2-3 done in a day.

If you want some more guidance on choosing routes, go to the company page and select a few of the top users - check out the "view routes" tab to see how they're doing it.
