What skill should I upgrade?

[Derp88_]

Should I upgrade long distance or high value cargo?(Both are level 0 right now)

[xÐoþe]

Long distance till level 3.

[TwistedFate]

Upgrade Distance to level 3, first, then start upgrading the others.

Personally, I would do distance up to 3, then Hazardous all the way, then keep High Value, Fragile and Just in Time balanced as you gain levels. Save Eco til the end.

[A baby mean less time to game]

long distance is good to get to at least lvl 2 to make you get good distances, then work on your high value and other items

[Derp88_]

Ok

Or should I get class 3 in hazmat?

[Rookie-31st]

I got HAZMAT to maximum already (completely ignoring everything else), probably not the best choice from what I've read, but I could not resist to have them all.

It depends on whether you like long drives or shorter jobs. If you like longer drives, put it into Long Distance. If you like shorter jobs, invest in High Value, Fragile or hazmat.

Same here, HAZMAT to the maximum. Usually the cargos pays very well even in short distances.

i would also put at least 1 point in eco, it saves 10% on fuel, which can be a great help during quickjobs

FYI Eco does nothing if you have realistic fuel consumption set to On.

Right from the start I went for the best XP advantage I could get.
So my order was this:

- 1 in Long Distance (+100% XP)
- 1 in Fragile (+88% XP)
- 1 in Just in Time (+80% XP)
- 1 in High Value (+72% XP)

The extra benefit is you immediately spread your options for good cargo as you quickly level up in the first levels. Also you can be lucky an get jobs with a double bonus.

Then I went further like this:

-1 in Just in Time (+120% XP) This is the only one that gives extra XP beyond level 1.
-2 in Long distance to unlock jobs all over the map
-6 in Hazmat to unlock all of those

Now I'm just equally leveling fragile/just-in-time/high value. I will do one in between somewhere for long distance just in case Arizona DLC will pop up some time, so I will be immediately ready to take jobs over a 1000 miles.

Eco will be the last one since I don't see the need for that anyway.

With the size of the map ATM, Long Distance isn't a priority as much as it was in ETS2. My strategy is to put a point into High Value, Fragile, Just in Time and Long Distance in that order. By that point you'll probably be looking at buying a truck if you haven't already and the job bonus' will make up for anything else.

PS: Coburn says it better above ;-)

[ObeliX]

Don't overlook that you need TWO points in Just in Time to unlock the urgent (3 red arrows) jobs!

With the current size of the map, 3 points in long distance is enough to unlock jobs from anywhere to anywhere. When Arizona is out you probably want 4.

The rest is up to you, I don't think putting any more than 1 into fuel is worth it until you have everything else (apart from distance, given the current map size) maxed.

Doesn't the company provide you with enough gas to make the trip anyway in quick jobs?

Not always. If it's a short distance, they'll give you enough. But if you have enough long distance skill points, you may need to refill somewhere down the line when the tanks start running dry. Don't worry, though! The employer will cover the cost.
