World of trucks

[ToxicHotdog54]

What is world of trucks? Is it safe to use, is even necessary or recommended? Do you need world of trucks to play multiplayer? What is it?

[Red Wolf]

if you want to do the event's like the christmas one, you have to be logged into WOT. it's safe to use. no , you don't need it for mp

[Underscore_101_3]

World of Trucks is from SCS so yes it's safe to use.

Other than mentioned by Red Wolf, when you do WOT contracts in game they have to be finished in a certain ammount of real life time, like you may have ,.. idk 16 hours for example so you can't quit the game mid delivery and come back a week later to continue, unlike none WOT contracts that are based on in game time that don't expire and you can continue weeks later.

What do the WOT contracts do for you?

they like any other job can help u level up and with these events u can get truck skins or cabin accessories

[Underscore_101_3]

The same as other contracts, except for events, like the xmas event or the Texas event, you get "free" stuff for that when you've done your part of the event, like cabin accessories, or maybe paint jobs, usually requires multiple drives to qualify for the gifts

World of Trucks jobs are in real time, not in-game time, so you can drive much more relaxed and don't have to hurry as much as for the normal jobs. Unless you stop playing and turn off the computer ... then your clock will keep on ticking if you started a World of Trucks job.

Also World of Trucks will save your job stats to your public profile page where you can also show some of your screenshots.

Other things to mention...

All details of the job are kept in your WoT profile.

There are WoT achievements to collect, if that is your thing.

You can have your actual photo as your avatar in game.

You can have a custom number plate on the truck.

One negative if you crash and call a tow truck that job is abandoned, but that is most probably what would happen in real life.

All WoT jobs are limited on top speed 65mph in ATS and 90kph in ETS2.

I just bought ATS after playing ETS2 for years (5-8?) Anyway, not sure how to connect with WoT. I'll search around more, but it;s added jobs make things interesting.

Recommended if you like to get free items as mentioned above, but not necessary for playing the game otherwise.

Biggest Pros:
You can drive a bit more leisurely as the time shown in the job to complete is in real time. You can stop and check out those viewpoints if you wish or take a more scenic route to your destination.

Events give you free items like interior items or paint jobs if you complete them.

Biggest Cons:
You're speed is limited to 65 mph (or it's kph equivalent).

The clock keeps ticking if you go offline while on a job. You can fail the job if you don't return in time.

What happens when you do fail a job?

You pay a penalty for abandoned job.

[Madkine]

You can't fail a job from the time expiring. The worst that happens is a 50% late fee deduction.

[redgreen999]

When a new state is issued, it has a WOT event that often gives either a plush animal of a hanging ornament and usually a paint job, Part of the incentive to get the states as soon as they release,

Then major holidays have had them. Halloween, Christmas.

Nobody has mentioned the biggest advantage that I see in WoT jobs - they greatly increase the number of jobs available to you in your current location. When trying to explore uncharted territory that is a boon.

FWIW it is a flat 40% - you will get fined the same amount for being one minute late as for being 48 hours late
