Can you meet your company trucks on the road?

[Scorpidoo]

As the title suggest, it is possible to se your own trailers and trucks you give to your personal on the roads?

Been trying to figure out to give them fancy cool looking stuff, or if I should just give them boring basic stuff so they can get the job simply done.

So far I haven't seen any of my truckers in the road

I gave them quite a unique look, so I could spot them easily, but nope, never seen them

[Vellari]

No, they are simulated only.

Is there a mod there they can appear when driving about?

No, as I said, they do not exist in the game. They are only mathematically simulated for economy. We can't put them on the road, because they are not "anywhere".

[Scorpidoo]

Ah alright thanks for the info.

Guess just give em rubbish looking trucks is the way to go.

[GamerXT]

its the same way you dont see other company trucks delivering things although that might get annoying when your trying to load something and another truck is doing the same

There is no mod that would extract your current garages and trucks from your save and spawn them but it's possible to create that mod on your own that would mimic them.

That being said, these AIs would not act as their logs said they did. If one of your truck said its returning to its hometown, you would never see it and if you see one of them, it wouldn't be that one and it would completely skip its garage.

Yes, it propably would be possible to create a mod that alters some AI truck to use your "company colors", but it would appear randomly all over...and you might see several in one place.

Yes it is possible to make a mod with your own paintSkin, and add it to the AI trucks and trailers also. It would ofcouse not be your own drivers but it will give a feeling of that it's them you meet on the road. But to make that mod is a little complicated, becouse you have to make a mod for your own trucks and then for the trucks each truck brand your drivers have and you will after that have to add these skins to the AI traffic each truck brand there too as a mod also in the game.

[GamerXT]

Wouldnt make sense regardless because what if they are delivering something in Italy and you see them in Belgium ?

Iam sure SCS could make it possible though by making the game track the AI using the map and if you get near them, they then load or something

SCS did that with the first ETS (and the games before). They tried to do it for ETS2 but the game already tax the CPU quite a lot and the computations to track every truck ended up being too much.

[Vellari]

Not impossible no doubt, but on the high side would have to simulate and keep track of hundreds of hired drivers "real time". Not worth the CPU overhead that would require imo.

[AshHill07]

It would be nice even if there were a few of the trucks/trailers from that specific garage just parked around the place, even if they don't do anything or don't even sync with if they're actually there or not.

[Vellari]

Parked at garages, yes I'm down with that.

Try Ben's Easy Modding which you can find here: https://benseasymodding.com/index.php If you have a logo you can easily add it to AI trucks and choose how often your trucks will be spawned. It's very easy to do and works amazingly well. Follow the tutorial videos for help. Yeah they show up wherever but it's still nice to see your trucks on the road
