Improve xp gain for trucking

[Dirty Mike]

I have been trucking for a little while and really think that the xp should be increased for the skill.

at level 0-15 your only option is taking building materials, with the usually highest xp being 100 per run averaging around 13-15 min round trip. to get to level 15 (15,000)xp you looking at roughly 37 hours of driving the same one of 2 routes to the construction sites. that seems a little excessive where 37 hours put into mining for example would probably have you around level 60

reduce loading down to 10sec would be fair,

After timing a typical delivery run, I noticed that the vast majority of the time is spent waiting rather than actually driving.

Current average run times:

• Load wait time: 4m 42s
• Driving time: 2m 13s
• Unload wait time: 4m 47s

This results in:

• Total run time: 11m 42s
• Total waiting time: 9m 29s
• Actual driving time: 2m 13s

If it takes 11 deliveries to progress from Level 0 to Level 1, the totals become:

• Total waiting time: 1h 44m 19s
• Total driving time: 24m 23s
• Total progression time: 2h 8m 42s

In other words, around 81% of the time spent progressing is simply waiting.

My suggestion would be to reverse this balance. Truck driving should feel like driving, not waiting at loading bays. Consider significantly reducing load/unload wait times and increasing journey lengths instead.

For example:

• Shorter loading and unloading times (30–60 seconds each)
• Longer driving routes that make up the majority of the delivery
• Greater emphasis on route planning, traffic, and driving skill rather than idle waiting

This would make the profession feel more engaging, rewarding, and realistic while keeping overall progression times similar if desired. Players would spend more time actively participating in gameplay rather than watching timers count down.

I believe this change would greatly improve the overall truck driver experience and make progression feel much more enjoyable.

i have just posted this as a separate topic but I've gathered some data on Trucking
