Changing trucks in my garage
Just want to see if someone knows how to change trucks in their garage. I have a 3-truck garage and I want to exchange the truck I'm now driving with another truck in my garage that another hired driver is driving. Is it possible? Thanks for your help and happy driving.

Also, I'm looking forward to a New Mexico or Utah expansion. Anybody know of a possible release date?

Go to Truck Manager and find the truck you want to drive. Then choose DRIVE IT. Then make sure your driver is in the right truck.

Go into the Truck Manager window, then click on that other truck you want to drive. On theleft side of the screen you will then have a button that says, "Drive It". Click that and it will then ask if you want to exchange trucks with that driver. Click ,"Yes". :)

It may advance the game-time a bit since you will need to wait until that driver has completed their current haul.

I guess "DRIVE IT" is the best way to do it if a driver is currently assigned to that truck. But you should then assign the driver to the truck you were driving so they still have a truck to make money for you. There might be a time gap if that driver is on the road, and maybe even fuel/repairs for an empty return if not already hauling a load back to base. I learned that when I reassigned a driver to another garage while on the road. She made a dry run to the new base costing over $1200 in fuel/repairs, although, that seems insignificant now.

Once you get to the point that you have enough trucks and drivers to start raking in the cash (which increases as you add drivers and they gain XP), you can afford to have a spare truck and once you return to your base, you can "RELOCATE" yourself to your other truck instantly. Or if you have a free slot at a garage you end up at, you can relocate the truck to that garage and relocate yourself where you have a different spare truck. I am just not sure what happens or where your current truck ends up if you relocate yourself to another truck when not at your current home base.

I actually have 4 spare trucks to play around with, and 1 vacant garage slot, if I want to shuffle those trucks around. For example I currently have 4 trucks and drivers in Los Angeles. If I haul a load there instead of its current base and want to change to a different truck, I drive to the LA garage, relocate my truck to that location, and relocate myself to one of my other trucks. But I am in a position where I can afford to do that, making about $390,000/day.
