Quick Jobs vs Freight Market vs Cargo Market.
Quick jobs is basically being able to drive without too much expense. Freight Market you need to repair your own truck. Cargo Market you need to repair your truck and trailer, Now unless your good with driving in the game would it make more sense to do quick jobs for a long time til you got better at driving without damaging your trucks and trailers? Could I potentially make more money doing quick jobs unless I was good at driving? I have got better since i started but sometimes keys wont stop or turn or i hit wrong key.

I think it comes down to personal preference here. I personally stop doing quick jobs as soon as I can because I like having my own truck. For new players and people that don't really care about that, quick jobs are more than enough. You get to drive a new truck every load with a new trailer every load, no strings attached. If I had to judge them in terms of difficulty, Quick Jobs would be easy, freight would be intermediate, and cargo would be hard.

Do the jobs that you're comfortable with. I've never done hard math to figure out which is more profitable overall because money isn't relevant in ATS/ETS2. A bit of extra bucks here or there per job doesn't really affect the overall game.

I think quick jobs can be harder because you don't get to drive the same truck each time. When you own a truck you like, you get used to it, and it makes things easier, but don't worry about the money. Money in this game is crazy easy. And any damage to your truck is covered by insurance except for a tiny copay.

One downside to owning your own truck is you need to drive to the next job, usually without a trailer. On the other hand, driving around without a trailer makes exploration very easy. Owning a trailer can limit the types of cargo you haul, and make it slightly harder to find the job you want, but you can have a cool looking cutom trailer & truck paired up and be badass.
