Contract for 20 wood from Migeum Logging 3 to Migeum warehouse is 216k for fulfilling the contract and the lumber brings in about 120k for 5 trips with the large log trailer, so about 340k cumulative.
This sounds really good! I could probably afford to buy a dumpy truck! 180k per trip sounds awesome! So once I have the dumptruck I drive to Dasa harbor to get the mission? Im not sure exactly where the coal mine is.

No affiliation with the creator. I just used his guide and can vouch for it working.
I started with his 3 vehicle setup, then expanded to the full 6 vehicle version.
Whenever I need money I do a single 15 minute Santa run for 170-200k
Have fun and drive safe.
You just go up to the coal mine and fill up on the spot, you only have the two harbors as destinations to pick, Dasa being more profitable.
Though getting up there is quite a hassle, it's easy with the Jemusi but it needs some prep work before it can take on the task. The Dumpy can make it but you need to know how to shift manually, overall it's a lot harder to climb up with the dumpy.
With the Jemusi you get the 330HP engine, a winch (you need to grind your wrecker level to unlock better winches) and you need to get familiar with the T button since that's where you can lock your differentials, the Jemusi has lockable diffs in stock config. Most of the path you can do in 4H which means the 4 back wheels are driven in high gear, you need to switch to 6L-Lock sometimes (all diffs locked) to get up the steeper parts and sometimes you need the winch when you are loaded.
I'd buy a Jemusi dump variant from the Gosan Truck dealer for 110k first, after your first run you can invest more eventually getting a second Jemusi dump and a Lomax Trailer plus another Semi (FL1, Titan, Golima), park the trailer at the entrance to the mine path and take your two Jemusis up there, when you have the coal pack them onto the trailer and cruise to the Harbor.
Edit: Once you're unloaded at the harbor you could also grab some of the vehicles to deliver them to the dealerships on your way back, that also increases your wrecker level.
I have been trying for two days to get this to work, but my tankers keep picking up fuel and not oil and delivering it to the plastic factory which shuts down my whole run. It has got to be a bug, because they go directly from the oil pickup to the oil dropoff, and the only deliverable is oil.
This video is a bit "misleading" if you are a new player. The "flowchart" in the video "obscures" the complexity of the actual production chain. As a new player, this is NOT obvious.
Most production facilities will produce more than one good. Examples:
1) The refinery produces both fuel AND oil from crude oil... and it actually produces fuel faster than oil, so it can take some time for oil to be available.
2) If you have delivered containers to the plastic factory, it will also produce "plastic pipes" instead of just plastic. And plastic pipes can NOT be used to make toys. So if you have previously delivered containers to the plastic factory, it may take some time for plastic to become available.
3) Even the toy factory does not allow all toys to be carted to Santa's workshop. It will again take some time for toys to become available for Santa's workshop.
I think this is the biggest issue with the video, it lays out a nice flowchart, and as a new player that is not familiar with production routes, the video makes it seem quick and easy to produce toys and gifts.
That said, as a new player myself, I do think it is a good video with good production values and it taught me a lot about production routes, but I don't think I will recoup the money I invested into this route. Of course the vehicles purchased will have value in the future for other routes.
If you want to make money from "santa", you much better off using the OP's route:
With the above route, you can make back your "Tronko" investment in one delivery.
Tempted to make it a Truck Route for AI, but not sure how insanely less you make.
So far Garbage trucking seems like one of the best payed (manual) jobs for time it take.
I actually "discovered" this route with a semi, you can make $200K+ with a semi. Check out all 4 farms, some pay better than others for carting pallets to "santa."
I just made a truck-route doing all the farms -> Santa in a loop with a pallet pickup on the way to each of them (hopefully AI picks pallets). Probably want make that much, but..
Also seen some of the Pumpkin farms pays pretty good for Santa delivery, and they are all relatively close.
If they keep picking up the wrong material just take the vehicle off the route and reassign them to the route again after. Or wait a bit for them to pick the right resource. It took a few hours before it started working for me, but once it did, there was never a shortage of product again. Once you can afford a second tanker, the problem will not exist at all since even if 1 in 4 trips brings in oil it doesn't stop the production chain. But even with 1 tanker just wiggle it a bit and it'll start bring in the oil and you can rake in the money. The video creator addresses this in the comments.
My profit numbers are also assuming you use a regular flatbed trailer. If you max the cargo space using the Lobo with it's special trailer you get on average 250k and up to 300k per 15-20 minute trip and you can endlessly spam this. Even more so if you park a Campy at Santa's parking lot so you can teleport there and instantly spawn your truck and trailer to start a new run immediately.
TL;DR just check on your oil truck in the company vehicle menu, click the ... dots then look at what it's transporting. If it's fuel, just dump it from the truck until it picks up oil. It's a bit annoying but I'm sure we'll get better options for AI picking cargo at some point later in development.
