Can you move headquarters

[FlashB]

Can you change where your main headquarters are to another city? Now that I’ve gotten used to the game I want my main shed in a different city. Is this able to be done?

[Capt Fuzzy]

Yes, I believe that you can move yourself to another garage with an open slot and set it as your headquarters.
If I remember correctly, I did it a few months back...

You relocate yourself to a garage with any open slot, and move your truck there. You do not have to sell your old garage; whichever one you are based out of automatically becomes your HQ

Thanks have done it successfully

[yachtlover]

I just installed this and want to know also how to change??? Do I have to own a truck first? as I have no option to change(only has California and nothing else)

Yachtlover, you need to own your truck first and have enough money to buy other garages where you can relocate. One note. I read somewhere that you will always hate where your HQ is located. Personally I have never found one that I absolutely love.

Go to "driver manager" there you can change truck and base.

Agree & disagree,one reason I have several of them and trucks in every one even if, just one. Bored in one location, warp to another.

Don't have your headquarters in San Francisco. I had to wait for ages to get my truck out from there and onto the road. An endless spawn of cars and trucks made it nearly impossible to get out.

I guess I have to wait for another area to open up.Just wondering what I have to do for other areas to be available.I already have my own truck.I live in Pinetop,AZ and looks like maybe someday one will be(I hope) avail. in Show Low,AZ,only a few miles from me.Or even in Flagstaff.

There is a garage in Flagstaff, it was my headquarters prior to Oregon coming out (I started in SF at launch).

To buy garages you simply need to discover them and have the money ($180k from memory?). If you're located a long way away then try and develop your Long Distance skills and leapfrog your way over there via shorter jobs (rather than waiting to do it in one long trip). Or do a bunch of quick jobs to build up some cash, take out a bank loan to buy your first truck (if you don't have one) and just go for a road-trip.

I was wondering about this because when Minnesota is eventually added, I'm 100% moving there.

What is the advantage of moving the headquarters?

[Underscore_101_3]

closer to specific jobs, like forestry that isn't available everywhere, or being closer to parts of the map you're far away from in general, stuff like that.
idk know about others, but when i start a new profile (ets2 mostly, but same applies to ats) my first headquarters is my hometown (not for ats of course), or somewhere central like Berlin and later change head quarters to get certain routes that i like, or haven't been on, but don't feel like driving all the way there first, specially with larger map setups, like if i'm on Iceland but feel like driving in Israel, i'm not going to drive there, just change headquarters, or buy a new truck there if i happen to want a new one.

Your headquarters is where you spawn if the game updates and resets your location, and any truck you drive gets re-assigned there too
