Ultra3D Posted March 27, 2020 Report Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Right now i'm seeing a sense of a monopoly when it comes to trucking. If you know how the trucking works, what ever volume it gives you when you click "view" you add a 0 to the end and that's the true amount. So you have company requesting multi-thousands volumes of gas and other items and charging bare minimum This is a problem not only for the truckers. Because to do those fuel orders it takes a lot of time because the volume only goes up by 10 every few seconds and that takes awhile to count to 65,000 and then you need to wait for it to go from 65,000 to 0 counting by 10 when depositing it. It makes people not want to do it because its not worth the time/money. Then in exchange its affecting the whole server because then fuel stations don't get filled and other stores run out of goods. I'm not saying force store owners to give top dollar but do something to stop the greediness of the store owner's. Edited March 27, 2020 by Ultra3D 1
CaesarSeizure Posted March 28, 2020 Report Posted March 28, 2020 Personally , i preferred the old system, where you had just random deliveries. That way you could at least always be trucking, rather than having everyone wait for an order.
ViktorShaw Posted March 28, 2020 Report Posted March 28, 2020 I would say, make orders small or faster to fill up and add fictitious orders (scripted orders) that didn't payed as much as the normal ones but that were faster, so that people that wanted to truck could do it as long as they wanted to, like other jobs.
Ultra3D Posted March 28, 2020 Author Report Posted March 28, 2020 Heres what I mean, 123,000 Units 10 at a time, this will take well over a few hours and Im about 99% positive its a new player taking this order, and again the owner is paying the lowest amount they can. 1
TreMetal Posted March 28, 2020 Report Posted March 28, 2020 NPC shipping jobs with reasonable prices (e.g. ~6k per hour of work.. or whatever is deemed correct) would go a long way to fix the shipping problem. There should also be a listing that shows the estimated time to complete (estimate driving time at 80 KM/H + loading/unload time) so people can calculate the pay per time period (maybe even show this calculation as $ hour). Server may potentially need to put some amount of money into each order to make PC stores competitive. 1
alexalex303 Posted March 28, 2020 Report Posted March 28, 2020 This might actually be a bug, I suggest making a bug report and the developers will check. 65000 fuel is more than a gas station can have (20k max) @Ultra3D

Ultra3D Posted March 28, 2020 Author Report Posted March 28, 2020 It Continues, Store owners are scamming the truckers
