Any tips on finding a job from Pamplona to A Coruña?
I have spent last 2 hours teleporting to refresh jobs and no luck.
I have parked a truck with a trailer there, but external jobs do not refresh.

Have you also tried to find a WoT jog for borrowed trailer?
If you only tried with one type of owned trailer, it greatly limits what types of freight you can be offered.

And yes WoT jobs are updated .. But only either when they expire which can take many hours ...
- Or if another player takes one of the jobs offered while you are in town, that job should be replaced with another job offer when you update the list again.

Yes I tried all 5 options.

You can only search jobs for one trailer at a time and the garage is out of the area, so I would have to go the garage, change a trailer, drive 200km and search for external jobs.

It's been a long time since I came up with the method of searching for all freight and trailer types when I wanted to implement Orient Express a very long time ago and have also used the method later for other achivements.

But yes, of course you have to have a garage in the area if you want to apply for external jobs for your own trailer if you want to avoid having to travel far after changing trailer ...
- Unless: If you can use console commands to teleport both truck and trailer from garage to the area where you want to apply for a WoT job? (I have not tried it and therefore do not know)

I wouldn't bother with any list for this other than quick jobs. I used g_set_time in the console to advance the clock 24 hours ahead to refresh the list each time, this is way faster than using garage teleport to get new lists, WOT contracts are a waste after the first look. I think it is probably bugged that these jobs show up very rarely so maybe someone might want to report it to SCS.

Of course, there is something that makes it difficult to complete an achievement ...
- otherwise it would not be an achievement.

And from what I've been told here in the thread, it seems that this achievement is really just a variant (repetition) of Orient express and Along the Black Sea.

So I do not think there is anything wrong with that, and therefore also nothing to report.

Is it wrong if I use a quick job to find an archivement when an external contract doesn't exist?

Short answer: No.

As I remember, all job markets can be used for all Steam achievements.
However, World of Trucks events and achievements can only be performed with WoT jobs (optional if you want to use borrowed or own trailers)

Yes, but you could find a job in 2-3 reloads, 5 at most, I have reloaded 100+ times and nada.

Challenging achievements are fun, "impossible" no, like there is nothing you can do. :steamfacepalm:

EDIT: Got it. I set preferred job length to over 50% and it finally showed up in quick jobs.

When Reload apparently does not change anything in the WoT market, I usually completely leave the market for a few seconds ...
- and then try again with a new search, it can often give new jobs that were not there in the previous attempt.

For future reference, there is no mileage in jogging back and forth with your own trailer to check External Market jobs - they are simply the subset of External Contracts jobs for that trailer. The Cargo Market is a different matter, but you can check all of those for a particular location from wherever the nearest player garage is without needing to drive back and forth.

As to the 'impossibility' of such achievements - if you are playing with all DLC active then the chances of a job spawning from one particular location to another are fairly small. The approach I take is simply to check the Freight Market for a suitable load every time I finish a delivery. Sometimes the load exists but is frustratingly out of reach due to expiry times and occasionally I get lucky. This is less frustrating at the moment because there are four categories of job that directly affect Steam achievements (the A Coruna ones, plus any jobs to Engeron, Ocean Solution Group or TS Atlas) and therefore the hits are more common than the misses.

Which is actually also proven by the fact that I can get some of the jobs in external jobs replaced with other jobs just by leaving the job market waiting a few seconds and then opening external contracts again ...
No kilometers driven .. But in the meantime, other players may have taken one more of the jobs I was offered in the first attempt.

We have also at previous WoT events especially heard complaints from players who could not find relevant jobs right when an event starts and when there are especially many players active.

External contracts apply only to the starting area you are in. Bilbao is the closest garage and as you can see, you will not get any jobs from Pamplona, since it is outside the circle.

You have to drive to the area to get any jobs.

Sure, but my point is you don't need to take different trailers with you because having a trailer won't give you jobs that you cannot get on the External Contracts list without a trailer.

FWIW my response was specifically in relation to this statement: "You can only search jobs for one trailer at a time and the garage is out of the area, so I would have to go the garage, change a trailer, drive 200km and search for external jobs."

So it's been 4 evenings (IRL) and I've kept refreshing the market to spot an A Coruna trip needed but still nothing. This is seriously not normal anymore...

No, finding jobs to complete an achievement is not the same as just finding jobs for the normal transports.

If it was as easy to complete an achievement as to snap your fingers, it would not require any special effort, and will therefore not be called an achievement beyond the usual.

All achievements have built-in some form of obstacle that make it difficult to complete the achievement, and this is not the first where it is difficult to find a suitable job.
- Just look at deliveries to petrol stations in France, or the Orient Express.
