Highest paying loads???
I was able to get a load from Redding to El Centro from Gallon that paid over 38K. I also had a hired driver deliver a load that paid over 6700. Please keep in mind I dont use any mods. In the forums all I read about are mods not working and people complaining about updates and DLC not being released yet. Can we talk about in game progress???

I usually go by pay per mile, so don't really recall totals, but usually ignore anything below 10K as it is usually relatively short distance

I've seen a couple $30k+, and Gallon tends to have the combustibles which are going to pay the most. I usually look at $ per mile and I have been taking shorter trips to hit businesses and roads I haven't discovered yet. I have one mod for water tankers that has disproportionately high $pm, like $37-38 $pm, slightly higher than the average so only a bit cheaty. And now that I've driven that trailer type I tend to ignore them unless there's nothing more interesting. After leveling up a bit I do tend to see higher $pm now anyway - I think Gallon deliveries might be hitting $42+ $pm legit.

It also depends on your skills. Loads requiring a more specialized driver (more skill points) will add a little more money to your bank account...

The higher your level, the more the loads pay, this is one of the things I've noticed.

I'm level 37 or 38 and I have all skill levels completely filled. Highest paying $pm loads I see are $47pm.

my highest load to date... first time going past the 100k mark ( no mods, just DLC )

I'd forgotten how unrealistic default pricing is. I use Klaas' economy and am lucky to get near $2000 for a heavy haul.
I personally get Pay loads around 90$ per mile.
I dont look at the total, with heavy load by now i make around 100$ per mile.
But the best things to look for is hazard and urgent Deliveries.
My Record however was 98.000$ once, i remember because i took a Photo with my phone of it, maybe i even have a screenshot, will look trough right now.

With the new heavy haul dlc being level 95. I have seen one at a total profit of 124k. On my other profile. That is level 13. The highest was 43k. Only mod I use is the truckersmp for multiplayer.

Yeah, the oil/gas loads are usually the most in my experience.

Default economy...

With Klaas economy mod the best heavy cargo jobs pay around 1.85$/mile. This is with 3 pts in value cargo and maxed urgent delivery skill.

Other loads usually top out at around 1.4$/mile.

I also have to calculate at least 0.6$/mile in running cost. This include fuel and maintenance.
Can't remember fuel cost atm, but I think Californa is well over 2.9 per gallon now.

lol, our heavy haulers at work wont leave the depot for 10k+ 1$ mile is a joke

Considering there is no living costs involved in the game it would be to easy to make the pay like real life.
I'm currently doing a job paying 107,000. Flammable gas from Redding, CA to Artesia, NM. Level 17. More than double my previous best and I don't use any mods that affect pricing. Just company logo mods.

Nice necro. :steammocking:

Anyway, the thing that is most important to watch is the $ per mile, not the actual payout. You make a lot more money taking the jobs that have the highest pay per mile.
