Who thought it was a good idea to make truck dealers inaccessible most of the time?

[Donnie]

This ♥♥♥♥ is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying, I don't even wanna play the game anymore. I've been waiting 3 irl days and skipping ingame time to hopefully be able to checkout and buy a truck. But no, every single time I check it's the middle of the night and I can't do ♥♥♥♥.

Not even look at them lol? If you wanna make it realistic, at least account for the fact that internet is a thing and I should be able to just see them. Or please tell me I'm missing something

You can look at them using the content browser. That allows you to check out any configuration of any truck/trailer without paying cash, and also things like cargo types going to and from cities. You just can't buy anything in there.

Truck manufacturers will allow you to go online and buy from them, but you have to be a trusted customer first, so your first few purchases have to be in person. Then once you have enough, the 'buy online' button will be selectable.

You are missing a lot:
Use the console commands to set the in-game time to opening hours for the dealer, using the g_set_time command. Drive to the dealer or again use the console to teleport to one, or the quick travel option to go to a city with a dealer you want to buy from.
All the instructions for using the console commands are in the guides section in this forum. After you have bought a number of trucks, and visited a number of dealers, you can buy on-line in the game without going to a dealer and have the truck delivered to any garage you own, after customising it.

Rest outside them and go in when it's open.

I believe the truck dealers are open from 8 AM to 6PM

And once you've bought a few trucks, you can access them anytime online.

But only from Monday to Friday, both days inclusive.

And as others have mentioned, but without putting numbers, after buying the first 5 trucks, you can buy online 24/7.

Similarly, it is with garages, once you have bought 3 garages, you can in future buy any garage you want without having visited it first.

I wonder if OP thinks it was a good idea to open a physical shop 24/7. Okay, it's a game so there is no workers union. But in real life that is for supermarkets, gas stations, etc - no truck dealer is open 24/7.

Maybe it's already been said, but in that case I read over it, but there's a simple button for it, it's called "visit truck dealer" , no need for console commands or sleeping.
It will instantly move time to 08:00 on the next day the dealer is open.

So if you're at the dealer friday evening 21:00 and you press that button it's monday morning.

Check if your local car dealer is open 24/7 and then report back please.

But as @Underscore_101_3 said, you can just click on "Visit Truck dealer" and you will be there at opening hours.

Thanks, gotta check that out. I know about the online thing, but as I just started that option inaccessible to me.

Thanks for the answer, though I shouldn't need to use console commands to properly play the game

I certainly understand that, but it's annoying that I can't even look at the trucks. And whenever I was ingame it was outside of those hours, giving me no opportunity to buy a truck. Even when I tried skipping time. After a few times it just isn't fun and kills the desire to play/progress. Thanks for the suggestion

Are you using any mods at all?
There is no game mechanic that would result in it being midnight when you are at a truck dealer.
Even if you sleep, you will wake in the morning at some point. Sleep next to a dealer in a city and visit after sleeping until the morning, you can usually sleep two or three times consecutively to get to morning, if you don't use the time command in the console.
