How can I join the same job as my friend in Convoy mode??
Pretty much just what the title says. Like I do know where to go in order to join a friend's job when you're in a convoy, but when we try and join each other it just says "unknown job" or something like that. And the little button that says to take the same job stays grayed out and unclickable. So I'm kinda confused on how to join the same job.

I couldn't find how to do it anywhere else so I thought I'd ask here. If someone could let me in on how to join the same job with my friend that'd be great.

Well yeah I know to go there. But whenever either one of us tries to go there to do it it says "unknown job" or something else. And we're unable to press the button to take the same job. Like how is it supposed to be done? Do I join a job and he joins on me, or is it supposed to be done some other way??

Do you have the same skills and the same dlc's (maps and cargo )

We do have the same quest DLC's like the ones for heavier or unique cargo and whatnot. But the skills are the ones that we don't have the same ones of. Do we absolutely have to have the same skills in order to get the same job? And does that mean that we should both just start over so that we can have the same skills and whatnot? Btw thanks a bunch for helping here! I really appreciate it :)

You have to have the same long range haul skill. Same for transporting hazardous materials.

I believe one can invite to a session through the Steam Overlay, but I've not tried it. In the Convoy Browser, Steam Friends will have an icon next to Sessions that they're in, or y'all can just tell each other what the name of the session is and look it up that way.

We have the same issue, happened again last night. I picked a load but friends could not, it said there was a mismatch. We're all maxed on the skills but not sure if we all have the same DLC (I have all DLC myself) The loads were of the modded type so I wander if that had something to do with it. We were able to pick the load if we chose the Company Truck Option though, I found that odd also.

maybe one of you are signed in world of trucks and doing a job from there would make that happen
