Contracts, How?

[funkyterminator2003]

I took a contract for 5 milk to the Cheese place, I have a tanker which is in my company and went to the ranch, it has 10 milk available, but nothing appears in deliveries, I can't manually load milk, and the contract tab just shows fuel contracts for the ranch? What am I doing wrong please?

Ok, so same situation with meat boxes for Pizza place, contract for 5? I went to the factory and deliveries showed only 1 for that location! I also tried going to the other ranch for the milk but no deliveries there the same as the other ranch. As you have a timer of 50 minutes, you cant just wait around waiting for a delivery to appear! I don't get it, the instructions are not good at all with this.

You are doing it backwards. You pick up the milk and take a delivery request to the cheese factory, Go to the cheese factory, (Get out of your truck and do not pull into the delivery spot). Walk to the milk delivery spot, hit the 2nd tab called "contracts" select contract to deliver how ever much milk you have. Then get back in the truck, pull up to the delivery spot, you get money for the delivery and contract.

That makes no sense at all. First, if that was the case you wouldn't have time limits, second if the delivery request is lower than 5 then I still have the same problem. The way you explain can't be the correct mechanic and the fact nobody can give the correct answer here means it's incomplete or not explained anywhere. Poor.

You don't have to like how it works, but I am correct and you are mistaken. Invest some time in a few YouTube videos, you will be where the rest of us that are enjoying it and making money to buy all we want. I didn't program it, I just learned how it worked. The timed contracts are so you can deliver several times if you want to keep up the run. Glad I could help you. No need for further comment. Do it or don't, its your choice.

I think "incomplete" is the best way to describe it. It's a driving sim in early access. Contracts are part of the game economy, and a much newer feature of the game. How they are currently set up feels like they are more of a multiplayer feature.

They are also NOT critical for making money in the game. I've made millions of coins so far, and probably only fiddled with contracts once.

the trick is to plan your trips, and as explained perfectly... load first then sign contracts just before delivery!
think in 5, 10, 20 or 50.
the higher the number the more time you get but it is only needed if you contract for 50 and that gives you like 8 hours, a tanker hold 40 "units" of fuel.
if you load 2 places with 20 each, or 4 places with 10 each and just remember to sign a contract before delivery then you make money quick!

for example, if you load fuel in jeju harbor...
you might find 20 units for the water factory, then also 10 or 20 for noksan fuel storage.
you go noksan first and deliver, then load there... if youre lucky there is 10 or 20 units ready for the ranch right next to it, load that and deliver, then back to noksan fuel storage.
load 20 units for the ranch right next to water factory... if not then fill up 20 more units for water factory and sign a 50 unit contract then you have 8 hours to find and deliver the last 10 units of that contract on your second run.

you only load 5, 10, 20 of each unit or you waste time and money!
if you plan for multiple deliveries (contract 50) then you load as many as needed to make the contract make sense!

a 30 minute run will make you enough to buy almost whatever you want!
took me two such runs to buy the 600k wrecker with some upgrades!

if there is no fuel available then try another server!
and remember, you can fast travel to other peoples homes and mobile homes using the map!

Below is a few screen shots of that chart. The discord is much better. I didn't do this. Credit goes to YummyFluffy.
