What are the heavy cargo requirements?
I would like heavy cargo but not before i'm ready.

What level and skills to I need to be/have to make use of this DLC?

Don't think there is any..... haven't tried it, but you could probably get quick jobs hauling heavy cargo straight away....if you only​ have a basic starter truck you will probably struggle
Might be skill requirements of course

I don't recommend getting into Heavy Cargo until level 12. A 6x4 chassis is a must have for this trailers, you can use a 6x2 but it will slow down a lot on hill, and maybe even stop if you don't have a good engine. I personally use a 10speed with Heavy Cargoes, but 13/18 are good too. Not sure about 6speed. :)

I started a new profile doing strickly heavy cargo. It is 100% possible but when going up hills you need speed until your on top otherwise you won't get moving again. The rest is just slow moving. A fully stock peterbuilt 389 was max speed of 45 down hill with a 115k pound heavy load is what I started with. The 6x4 frame is definetally a must have as soon as you unlock it.

I started a new profile as well and first quick job i could haul a heavt cargo which to me is kinda stupid as no company would hire a rookie for such a big job,

In reality no company would hire someone who doesn't have a proper CDL and put them in a truck. That's the lovely part about games. You can do whatever you want whenever you want to

Including seeing how far you can race with a delivery while not getting a fine or crashing..
