About of cargo details in Truck Job Dispatcher

[RAW Truck]

Suggestion Name:  Need more details about cargo in truck Job Dispatcher.

Suggestion Description: In the job dispatcher, road distance, ferry distance, ferry price are shown and you can see the preview, but the cargo weight is not mentioned anywhere.
When we are driving a low power truck and taking the job just by seeing the preview of trailer, then there is a lot of issue due to high weight on hilly areas.

Any example images:


Why should it be added?: Sometimes I have seen that other drivers block the road due to high weight in hilly areas and traffic gets blocked. (ex- Promods ice land, promods death road Kirkenes area)

It has been on many occasions that only if the cargo weight was mentioned I could have got the correct Truck configuration and had a smooth experience. It's a small piece of information that can be under the job information box.

Good idea. It would be good to have detailed information about the cargo we will carry. In addition, in the normal game, the game warns us if our truck is not sufficient for this cargo or if there is a possibility of difficulty. The same feature can be added to this area as well.

Yea... the dispacher could benefit from a more detailed screen.

On the other hand, your problem with "Why should it be added?" is in the fact that most players are autists trying to do the impossible. I can say for myself that I never use a low bed/loader in Iceland ever sinse they had added the bolders on the road and can comfortably pull up and down a low bed with a loco, double and HCT trailers on Kirkenes road with an 8x6 chassis (as thee should be the ones used). I don't agree with you to remove more trailer and cargo types from the given locations.

You need to select any load you have selected from this menu separately from the main menu of the game, from the free play section, in order to get the load. In this process, how heavy it is will appear there. Of course, it would be nice to write the loads in parentheses next to them, but I don't know if it is necessary. Even when we buy a very heavy load, it shows the weight when choosing a load while working freely or when we go to the company and buy it there. Sometimes it can even give a warning.

A Nice Suggestion. Would be great addon to TMP Dispatcher system.

[[IMP] Rimuru Tempest]

ye i think this should be added.

[Guest CeeSarSonic]

I completelty support this suggestion. it would be great for who uses job dispatcher.

[Wraith645]

It would be nice to have the weight of the cargo showing in the job dispatcher. I often accidently take heavy loads without realising it and in a weaker truck along C-d is a recipe for disaster

[Leοn]

Amazing suggestion! Information about weight would be great.

 

[jess.thetrain]

This would be very helpful - quite often I want to see what the lightest/heaviest load available for my current trailer is when generating jobs and this would be very helpful.

I also think that it would be a good thing to see the cargo's weight next to the cargo's name in the job dispatcher, let's say something like "Cut flowers (1t)" and also in the text at the bottom of the job dispatcher.

[(Furry)NoahTheGamer]

great idea fully support 

[KaylaMcTear]

This would be a great feature to add would say either in the Job information section or cargo with maybe for example Locomotive - Vossloh G6 (61 t / 136,135 lb)

[Caston]

I do like this idea, it makes sense too. Gives you a bit more of an understanding on what cargo you have clicked on what you will be hauling if you accept that job. 

I also agree with everyone else's comments as well, would be extremely helpful to have.

While we're on the topic of Job Dispatcher. There should be an option to see only to see external contracts and what deliveries are per depot.

 

During the Winterland Event, i was trying random cargo's from the closest city. And i kept getting "no results".

[bluca_03]

This update could be very interesting. It will be very simple to understand everything about the weight of the cargos, so as you said if you don't have a powerful truck, you know that your cargo could be heavier than normal

[`Lîmon]

A very good suggestion for us to learn about the load we are going to take

I didn't quite understand what you meant to say there. What does TruckersMP have to do with World of Trucks?

The Job Dispatcher only generates Freight Market jobs. If you want External Contracts, you have to browse through the list

Spot on. I still fail to understand how it is a TruckersMP problem. You should probably consider bringing it up to SCS.

Why would SCS even bother doing anything for TMP's feature? All the job dispatcher would have to do is get the external contracts feed, show the closest starting city.
