Is there a 'free drive' mode?

[Barguest]

Anyone know if there's a 'free drive' mode in ETS2? Some of the reviews I've read certainly suggest there is, but I can't find it. As soon as I start a new game it forces me to do a delivery job, when all I want to do is drive around and get familiar with handling the trucks. Is there a mod for 'free drive' that I need to install? Thanks for any help.

You will need to do quick jobs until you get enough money to buy your own truck - then you will be able to drive freely.

Take that first load that you get, un-hook the trailer and drive around.

you will still need to buy gass nwo and then.
but better to get your own truck asap, so you need to do some delivery jobs first yes.
there migth be mods that giv eyou money to get strted quicker?

That's probably the tutorial job. In my experience that's a job within the same city, so shouldn't take long to complete. After that first job, you're free to do what you want.

Might need a money cheat or a mod to boost XP/income in order to buy your first truck. Without, you'll probably need to complete a few jobs before having earned enough to buy your own truck.
There's also a no-damage mod that might make your life easier :)

There's settings to make the game more relaxing. I've turned off penalty fines for example.

Thanks a lot! Now the only thing is a "automatically stay on the road" mode in order to enjoy the scenery and take screenshots while driving...
