I have recently discovered that purchasing 30+ oil barrels from the oil field and selling them at East Port is very profitable. Which other options are there? I tried bricks and coal both from their respective locations of production, but the profit was not as good as the oil. I am considering doing this with salt but there does not seem to be a complete wiki page on the Dolgatov salt flats.

Salt to the Poniatowsk food factory $1100 profit per sack or East port where the profit is $5700 a sack.
The food factory is only really worth it if you are running back to Komsodronsk with drums of diesel from the refinery which makes $9000 profit per drum.
Salt to East port makes more but it is a much longer journey.

The Ultimate Slaverian Trucker Companion in the guides section links to a spreadsheet listing the prices and profit/loss for everything.

Yes, I have extensively studied that spreadsheet since then. It has come in very handy indeed!

Here is what I started doing:

12x Pipes from Komsodrinsk to Novocherkuta
16 Cement From Novocherkuta to Komsodrinsk

Doing this back and forth makes allot of money

I have found out buying Pipes from Balarks and selling them to Eastport to be the most profitable.

Yes, the profit margin is not the greatest you can get for the pipes - However, the distance is short and you can do most of the journey at ~70km/h average.
You can pack the starting truck with 8x Pipes, sell them to Eastport and do this 3 times during a single day, making a profit of 672 000 in a single day.

This however, is only doable at days Monday-Friday, as the Kovalenko’s Builder Merchant selling the Pipes is not open on Saturday-Sunday.
Also, Pipes are a bit expensive to buy, if you are starting a fresh game. I'd suggest taking missions from the Sawmill to carry Planks (and buy Planks of your own as well) to take to Eastport as well, until you can afford buying 8x Pipes.

I have not discorvered a way to make more than 672 000 Slaverian Dollars a day. Do tell me if you find one.

Yes, from balarsk to east port is indeed a good early game way of making money. I believe I either did that with consumer goods or cement (cant remember). The other option is to purchase oil from the oil field and then sell it at east port. That was how I originally made money. My best profit is still between Novocherkuta and Komsodrinsk, making at least 1mil a day. Unfortunately, this requires you to have the Zakmat and more than 1mil to begin with.

Cement is another good product for that trade route as well. Can't quite remember was it more profitable or not... But the difference probably wasn't great.
I mostly remember Pipes were easier to pack than Cement, might be that full load of Cement was a bit heavy or just took longer time to load, and I thought I have better money/time ratio if I quickly load Pipes and make slightly less money per load than slowly load Cement and make slightly more money per load.

Yeah, cement only works if you have Zakmat with 7l turbo-diesel. The RUS really struggles with 8 cement

I have diverent routes with different profit. It depends on how much you can load your truck and trailers.

The best route for me is the route from Balarsk to Eastport with planks. Buy for 81000 and sell for 104000 makes 23000 profit with each. I testet it out and the highest what i can deliver with one Road train is: Zakmak truckbed who can carry 12 planks and with a tow i pulled the UVA50 with the open semi-trailer who can carry 22 as max. So i can carry 32 Planks at once and made a Profit of 736000 each run. its hard to make 2 runs a day, because the loading and unloading needs his time. The best is for the Eastport u dont need to drive inside. You can deliver it from outside throu the fence and can easy drive away.
