Drivers and workers rating
Ok so I did some research and from what I can understand I cannot get my rating over 5.0 until I invest some skill points in ECO driving. Even if I already have maxed out ADR, Long distance, valuable and fragile. Am I getting this correctly or am I missing something?

Also it's been like 1 week since my 2 workers got rating increase. Seems to me they're stuck on 3.3 and 1.7 atm. So is their rating increase somehow connected to my?

I appreciate any tips and advices :)

I know it does take a while for hired drivers to increase their rating. It also takes longer between rating increases the higher the rating. Same as your levels in the game.. the higher your level the longer it takes to get to the next level. I don't know if the hired drivers are influenced by your rating level? I don't think they are.

eco driving should not even be on the list. Honestly, trucks don't get MORE fuel efficient as the kms pile up. lol

Gotta agree there. It's all in how you drive them, not just clicking off a "to-do" list.

Rating increases as you put points into skills, any of them. For many levels (till level 50, I think) I kept my driver's Long Distance at 2, and his rating was ... don't really remember which, 8.3? Doesn't matter really, it wasn't 10.0.
When it comes to your drivers, it'll take around 200 of ingame days for them to go from 0.8, which they usually are at start, to reach 10.0, and then they will keep levelling up, but their rating won't go any further.
As room217au said, it takes more time for them to go higher. And as he said, there is no linkage between your rating and that of your drivers.

If you use fuel consumption sim, then yes. If you don't use it, then fuel consumption is varied from flat 50l/100km to 33.3l/100km, regardless of load, route, and truck. Though I'm not sure truck part is important - tried to haul same loads using most powerful Scania, Volvo, and DAF. Fuel consumption difference was within 1 litre between trucks.

A driver's rating (and your own) are linked to levelling up. But you probably have noticed that. :D

Yes and no. To increase rating you need to invest skillpoints, which require you to level up. Yet after level 36, when you'll get all skillpoints, and, presumably assign them, rating won't go up. Level will. Level will go up even if you won't assign skillpoints. Levels don't care!:spacemonster:

Yeah. Maybe I should've added "before rating 10.0" ;)

Relax. :)
Still, rating shows how many skillpoints driver has, nothing else. To learn level - you need to check their salary.

HeH. I've actually fired all drivers but 1. Sold all trucks but 1 for the hired driver and my 2 trucks.
Sold all garages except one for me and one for my hired driver. With half a billion in the bank, I think I'll be ok for a while.

I have one profile that has 4.3 Billion. Making money in this game is so easy it's beyond ridiculous.

Y'know, I think it would be a different story if any upgrades made to hired drivers' trucks made any difference. But maybe all that would do is delay the inevitable.

Thanks everyone for your inputs. I guess I'll just keep trucking then :)

With end-game (10+M/week) income and lack fo any moneysink, you can swap your entire fleet basically on daily basis just for laughs, sort of "it's Monday, so it's MAN time".

hahaha
Before I sold my trucks and garages, the company was raking in 12M a week. At one point I was picking a driver at random and applying all upgrades I could.. even a paintjob that looked like something Salvador Dali had for breakfast.
Or whenever a driver "couldn't find a job" I'd sell their truck and buy the cheapest, nastiest 4x2 I could find. There. That'll show 'em.
