Why Double Trailers?
What are the advantages to owning Double trailers, does it load more cargo thus earning you more money? Basicvally what I'm asking is there any real incentive into buying my own double?

The 4 categories that matter when talking about HTC and Doubles are Distance, Weight and Cargo value and Cargo availability. Theres also a possible 5th hidden stat I’ll explain at the bottom.

Distance with Doubles and especially HTC's are limited in a unmodded game. You can't go from Kouvola (Finland) to Catania (Italy) since several countries between the destination wont allow doubles or HTC. This limitation is made up in the Weight value of Doubles and HTC's. HTC's will almost always get the Heavy cargo Icon due to you carrying double the standard load (Used pallets is the only one I have not seen this but more may exist). Heavy loads get a small %money and a moderate XP bouns. Due to this you get paid more for the weight transported vs a standard trailer. Cargo value on doubles and HTC's are well increased due to more cargo being moved.

Now Cargo availability is different and is the issue with ownable trailers. Some towns- cities may not have any cargo for your active trailer and you'll be running dry to the nearest company that has a job open.

When the Special transport DLC came out Special cargo gave you a very high amount of XP compared to similar routes. It’s entirely possible that doubles- HTC’s have a smaller XP bonus for “difficult load”. But this is speculation on my front. I have not data mined this game and I only know from what I have played.

I hoped this answer your question.

I'm very well aware that is the case irl, I am obviously talking about in game.

And Emma, I do not notice any difference at all in cargo weight or profit, hence why I asked. Don't think I didn't see your comment, if you did not feel like answering the question then go elsewhere, I have no use for the petty snark.

Money really isn't a thing past a certain point in the game (L20ish).

Basically they are there for variety, to keep the game "fresh". More the merrier..

Putting something in Google Translate isn't that difficult, is it?

As colloquial Finnish as that is, comes out surprisingly comprehensible on Google translate.

It certainly does, thank you for the competent and coherent reply.

Lol....First off, google translate is absolute GARBAGE. Second, I shouldn't have to go out of my way to try and decipher someone's comment just because they don't want to speak English in an English thread in a website that mostly speaks English. Imagine moving to another country and then forcing others to cater to your language and culture just because you lack the common courtesy to learn their language and customs. Now if you have nothing useful to say about the topic then take it elsewhere.

And you're doing what? I'm not saying you need to learn Finnish, but if you're too lazy to put it into Google Translate and decide to spend more time than that would take in order to semi-coherently rant about it, it would be advisable that you fix that.

Google Translate isn't great but it gives you an idea of what someone's saying. And, from what it gives you, if you can't figure out what they're saying there's not much hope. Edit: and he answered your question. If you're too arrogant to accept it because it's in another language, fine, but the language they speak isn't your choice.

This is mostly an English forum, but not everyone here speaks English, so why be a lazy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about it? Case in point:

Anyway... I haven't looked into it too much as I don't do doubles all that much unless I'm using my own trailers, but I'd imagine the value of the cargo and XP are both increased. That and being, well, bigger (longer), they're a bigger challenge. I've never been able to back up with doubles in an organized fashion but that's also because I haven't had much practice with them.
