Hired Drivers stuck "resting" ?

[Koorix]

I'm still fairly new to this game and I just upgraded my garage, bought 2 trucks, and hired 2 new drivers to use those trucks and to take on jobs. The problem is since I hired them they have been "resting." I said OK and decided to wait for activity but now it has been a couple hours of me idling in the game and even closing and relaunching it and they're still resting. How long do they rest or is this a bug?

Thanks.

Forgive me but how do you rest? I turned off fatigue simulation if that affects anything.

Find somewhere to park your truck, a message will show to turn off your engine then you press ENTER to rest, this will cause time to pass

Parking places have a bed icon

Ah ok I thought you meant like on the regular game's home screen. Is it bad I've never had to rest even on 1000 km journeys? I don't see the meter of me getting tired at all. Just the gas going down.

If you turned off the fatigue, then you don't need to sleep.

But you still /can/ sleep to make time pass.
It's good to make time pass if you're waiting for a dealer to open or for your employee to move their ass

lol

They do rest for quite a long time before taking the first job, so just be patient.

I know im way late to this thread but its the closest to my problem my driver picked up his first cargo and wont move been like this for 6 irl hours

Did you drive your own truck during those six hours or did you sit and wait for your driver to make progress whilst you were using the in-game desktop/menus etc? If the latter then that isn't going to work because game time only progresses whilst you are driving, or resting, or riding a ferry. or fast travelling between garages, not when you are simply navigating the menus

I recommend you use ferry jobs (Norway-Denmark-GB) to fast forward time in game instead sleeping. This way yourself can make money while drivers get experience too.

i was driving my truck

[metpei]

Oh, I answered to op...
@Velvex are you driving/sleeping or just hang on game menu?

[The Pitts]

@Velvex, screenshots might be helpful, showing the Driver Manager with that driver selected plus the result of clicking on Show Log for that driver

[Velvex]

its the way the MTP servers work they on show progress if i TP or use fary or sleep
