andy Suter Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Im interested in they type of cargo you prefer. Do you prefer to run your own trailer? And if so, what cargo? Does it even matter as you cant see it anyway? Do you prefer to do freight jobs so the trailer is different? Do you like to only do jobs for one freight company? I had a spell of only doing Ika jobs and painted my truck to match the trailer colours. Do you chose cargo that interests you or do you chose a job because that where you want to go? (yesterday I wanted to visit Iceland so took jobs working my way from Newcastle all the way through Scotland and up to Iceland – The cargo choice didn’t matter) Do you ever with empty trailers just to drive around?

6DEM0N6 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I personally prefer company trailers as there is much more variety of size and weight, but it depends on the frame of mind I'm in as to what type of trailer I haul. I am a personal fan of heavy/special haul (the bigger, the better) but I never drive/waste fuel with empty trailers unless its to pickup a load (from the next city furthest).

buksee Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 If I'm on the 'normal' Simulation servers, I use my main profile and deliver only External contracts. Since that's the only thing that has any mark (I am at 100% in terms of map exploration and the profile is at 170+ levels). And in external contract I am looking for the heaviest cargo, but it has to be at least 20 tons. However, since Promods came to multiplayer, I started a second profile and I don't make deliveries with that (at least not anymore, that's why I hired 4 drivers) and currently focusing on the map exploration (currently a little bit over 6.5%).

cmiller4378 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 To me I Prefer to use my own trailer for any load but I'm more into the over sized loads cause the over sized load text my skills and make more of a better driver and sharpen my skills more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr0zR.- Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 All depends of the moment, destinity and type of road. Sometimes I like to ride a heavy trailer with a truck with small engine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas. Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Loved running my own trailers in the game but found myself missing the company trailers. I felt seeing a lot of players not really using them anymore brought a feeling of uniqueness to the company ones. Ever since then I've been back to using those each time I play.

ATEKGaming Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 For me, I tend to use my own trailer as I'm able to change it depending what type of cargo I want to take. I tend to change my trailer once every 2-3 days so I'm able to transport different varieties of cargo across the map! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB1988 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 For me, if I am driving by myself, or with 1 or 2 others, I will often use my own trailers, I tend to only use Krone trailers. But if there are more, I usually go for External Markets, so we can all get the same trailers and same jobs, for simplicity. Again, I tend to go for Krone trailers, especially the Dry Liners, which, in my own opinion, look amazing! My absolute favourite cargo's to haul are any flatbed cargo's, so you can actually see your cargo, plus they are also quite well varied, and usually quite heavy too. I particularly enjoy delivering the large tubes, or steel/iron pipes to building site locations. Best Wishes; RB1988 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MythicalNightfall Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Yeah I’ve seen them, they seem to have like ac1% chance of actually getting them because I’ve personally never gotten one from the market or global deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[VIVA] Qwikstreet Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I prefer cargo that I can see like the open flatbeds. When I am close to a marina I always grab a boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[TR-Team]*EM_Edmund Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I select cargo due to the reasons as followed: The route is what I desired and have proper length. The profit/distance rate is somewhat high. The cargo is heavy that could make the job challengeable. The trailer looks good in the combination with my current truck.

Guest Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Really depends on my mood. I love to drive with long trailers in Scandinavia and northern areas. More in Central and West I drive with normal trailers. I prefer middle long travels and I rarely drive with empty trailers. I only do that when travelling with friends ingame. (dont say i dont have many friends huehue) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSirViking Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 I usually just go with the External Contracts if i am playing the normal map. And then it dosent really matter what trailer it is, i just look at where its going. So if its heavy or what it is dosent really matter. If i drive on promods map i am sort of the same way. I usually just see if its going anywhere i like and then i take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixel095 Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 1. Yes, I prefer to drive my own trailer because you can customize it to your liking. The load does not matter to me, but I like to carry a lot of weight with me. 2. No, I carry out various tasks regardless of the company. 3. I usually choose the load to the place where I want to go. 4. I never hit the road with a damaged set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
