Short distance jobs

[RaidOFF]

Hi guys, is there anyway to perform mostly short distance jobs (<100km, <60miles)?

I tried few options but nothing really works... So if you guys have any solution...

1."goto" fonction; when i get the truck to selected town, its falling from heights and result into 80% damaged or sometimes trapped into buildings, is there anyway to "drop" the truck without damage and on the road? The very best solution i would like is to get a table with companies's coordinates and a way to "gently" bring the truck to those coordinates.


2. instead of getting random trucks into quick jobs, is there anyway to select and keep the same one? I know it will results into less money but my drivers provide me enough.

-thanks

Select route length in the freight market. That will show short distances first.

When you use the command goto, use the mouse and arrow key on your number pad to move your truck closer to the ground, when you are happy with the positioning just hit f9 and you will settle gently on the ground. If you are not happy with the position press 0 (zero) and use the arrow and mouse to relocate and again hit f9 when you are happy.

If you are running short deliveries then drive them instead of cheating. Less damage and more money and XP that way. Considering it's a trucking simulator not a flying simulator. There is no way to use only one truck in quick jobs except to only pick the jobs that arre using the truck you want.

There is a option to set preffered job distance and there is also a command

For the OP, there is a slider for this in the settings.

If you want to keep using the same truck you have almost 2 options. The first not so good option is you can (I believe) select the type of truck you prefer when looking for a delivery. It'll be a different colour and/or have different options though. The second option is to save up and purchase your own truck; instead of quick jobs you do jobs in the freight market with your own truck, in which you can still select short jobs. As Willy mentioned you can order the delivers by route length so the shorter ones are at the top.

Ok, thanks. I think that Willy got my solution with the goto. I just didn't think to try it 😒

I already tried the slider but most of time, the ending time is way too short... Or the city where i am doesn't have any short distance jobs.

The option of selected truck type is (i guess) more a suggestion, short distance jobs seems to be done with random trucks...

-thanks for your help

The expiration time given in the Job List is not when the delivery is due to be delivered, rather, it is the time remaining before that job expires from the list. When you take a job you will always be given enough time to make it to the destination along with additional sleeping time on longer runs that will require it.

And if you're using the dev cam to fly to your destinations instead of driving there you will never have a case of not making it in time...
