Other than that great advice for starting out, cheers.
This means a player's starting truck might be cheaper now, but getting one with way too much permanent damage may be detrimental in the long run.
I still don't know if trucks used by company drivers build up wear over time. If they don't, a good strategy may be to find the cheapest used truck for them. As an example, I got a $24.5k Iveco Stralis with 14% permanent damage for one of my drivers, but still haven't played the game enough to know whether that'll increase with time or not.
I haven't really tested anything myself (yet) but might be worth revisiting these aspects of the guide in the future.
That change is somewhat recent, actually I don't know since it is a feature, maybe since they added Convoy and made some changes to Quick Travels too. Years ago it was doable but even at "best", one real time hour would turns into 19 in-game hours (plus there was a better way to quickly advance in-game time back then, Quick Travels before it changed).
It may be possible to setup a private Convoy session, where time ticks fast even if on main menu, but I think that there is an idle timeout that will terminate it after few minutes. Give it a try if willing to test it, but I would leave PC turned off while no one is actively using it ; )
For example, I had a delivery from Strasbourg to Glasgow. Sat Nav wanted to take me to Calais, then the tunnel, then drive all the way up the UK. Instead, I went to Amsterdam and took the ferry to Newcastle. HOURS less driving and the same reward, plus the ferry ride took care of the rest stop.
The second skill point into Just-in-Time should be their fourth skill if going to micromanage them, not 20th. And to micromanage them will quickly go out of hand when you will have tens or hundreds of hired drivers.
For them Balanced is the better way and will do better than focusing on a single skill line without the added bonuses of other skills. Four points in Long Distance are too many, one is enough them move forward.
Good luck everyone, and as you already know, don't destroy your truck and anything will do.
