How to Quickly Build Your Company and Get Nearly Unlimited Cash
By Jack_Burton
American Truck Simulator / Euro Truck Simulator - Guide to building your company fast and nearly unlimited cash to do it!

This guide will explain in plain english how to quicky build your company up with as many garages as you want and how to get nearly unlimited cash to do it with. It is a simple process but it is NOT a "GET RICH QICK / ONE CLICK" type of process. I have used this method in 5 seperate new profiles and worked on hte method for more than a month to make sure it worked well and did not casue any issues with crashes.

When you are facing down a dark and stormy night, the lightning is blinding rain coming down like sheets of lead , and your climbing the last hill as your 18 speed Eaton is screaming for mercy while 90,000 pounds of death and destruction is waiting behind you for the summit.... You gotta wonder if it is all worth it? Are you advancing in your career as a trucker? Are you going to be the boss one day?

So the real question is What Would Jack Burton Do ? Well I'll tell ya... Id use this method in this guide to quickly acquire the cash I need and I'd go on a road trip buying up every garage available. Then I would hire enough drivers to fill all the spots and sit back on a beach in Maui sipping on a Mai Ti' and enjoy the fruits of their labor .... Or be able to have the time to explore the map and be able to pick and choose which jobs I take.
Prerequisites
Starting Anew ......
Now that you have a fresh new profile and have started your new game, you can move forward toward becoming filthy rich and the largest trucking company in ATS or ETS.

To do so you must complete a few tasks........

1.) Select your home city. I would highly recommend Los Angelos.

.

2.) Play the initial delivery and complete it.

.
.
.
3.) Take a "Quick Job" and make sure you select a job that originates from your home city.


.
.
4.) Once the job loads and your in the "Quick Job" truck, Open your map and find the location of the truck dealer in your home city.


Mark it on your map by left clicking on it.
Now drive to it and make sure that you receive the "Truck Dealr Found" notice on the screen.

.
.
5.) Now that you have reached this point and are able to purchase a truck but dont buy it just yet! Complete your current delivery and then quit the game. (Game will AUTOSAVE every time you quit.)

Enable Your Mods
Now we are going to enable the mods that will allow you to do two things.

1.) Almost everything will cost a dollar, there are some exceptions though; the garage will still cost $180,000.00 (which is why you will need a loan {Explained below}) Trucks will cost between $18 and $43 each with most options costing a dollar each. The exception is DLC add ons which will remain the amount they are originally. This will come in handy when buying trucks for your garages. If you buy a stock truck with the highest rated options (IE Body, Chasis, Engine, ♥♥♥♥♥♥, Paint) you should be able to purchse each one for under $100.00!

2.) Every time you make a delivery and select either of the top two options for parking, you will recieve 19,000 points for it upon successful completion. This will enable you to VERY quickly improve your skills and rank up to the highest level which will get you the higher paying jobs! This mod also works for your hired drivers! They will rank up to a 10.0 within a few weeks!

ENABLE YOUR MODS

Now that you have restarted the game, it is time to activate the mods you subscribed to in the first section of this guide. To do so, at the intial screen you will click the "Mod Manager" button on the left hand side as seen below.

The next screen is where you will activate the mods.

Now that you have activated the mods and closed the "Mod Manager", you will be back at the game loading screen. Once there, you will load your saved new game by double clicking the saved game.

Now the rest is fairly easy.....
Get A Loan - Buy Truck - Buy First Garage - Be Awesome ..........
Teh rest of the process is fairly straight forward......

Now that you have enabled your mods and loaded your newlay saved profile, it is time to work the magic.

1.) Get a loan from the bank. (take as much as they will offer)

2.) Purchase your Truck. (Under $100.00 with mod active)

3.) Find the employment agancy in your home city. ( you can not hire drivers until you have completed this task.)

4.) Find the garage in your home city and purchase it. ($180,000) At this point you should now have a truck and a garage with three bays, one of which you occupy with your truck.

5.) Hire 2 more drivers from the agency by clicking the "Hire Drivers" button in the lower right corner of your company management screen.

6.) Once you have hired the drivers and filled all of the slots in your garage, you must buy them trucks. Go to the dealership and purchase trucks for each driver. {NOTE: once you have chosen a truck to buy, you can simply continue to click "Purchase" to add an additional truck without starting over}

7.) Now that you have purchased truvks for all drivers, you will save the game and quit.
8.) Go into MOD MANAGER and remove the $$$$Money$$$$ Mod from active mods.
9.) load your game again.
10.) Go to truck manager and sell all of your trucks! (You will recieve $90K-$130K each)
11.) Save Game and Quit.
12.) Go into "Mod Manager" and activate the $$$$MONEY$$$$ Mod again.
13.) Load your saved game again.
14.) Buy New Trucks for all drivers.

REPEAT Steps 8-14 until you reach the desired amount of money!

Last Step ....... Try to be as Awesome as Jack Burton ..... You shall not succeed ...
