Hello, I just bought this game a week ago and I should explain I've never played anything like this before, but I'm also not much of a gamer at all really. But one thing I do a lot of is role play (calm down!). I basically bought this because it seemed like something I could use to relax after work and putting my kid to bed.
I've managed to buy a used Scania and started my haulage company. Now what I do to take jobs is use a random number generator to decide what city to take jobs in, and drive empty to that city.
The role play in universe reason for this is because there are so many established haulage companies out there who is realistically going to hire a fledgling one run by a guy with little experience. So my driver is sat in his hotel in Zurich desperately scouring the Internet for jobs that will take a chance on a new company. Hears a rumour about a job in Rotterdam, braves the trek, gets there and takes whatever is available. Damn, it's only chicken to Bremen, but whatever Rome wasn't built in a day after all.
So is this a dumb way to play? Or is it ok to embrace this you think? Are there other sadists in this subreddit too?
Also what an amazing community you guys are!
