2. Tip for Euro Truck Simulator 2: Mastering the start of your own freight forwarder
- First of all, you lack the money to buy your own truck. Therefore you drive as a clerk for a shipping company.
- You have to take a given freight to a nearby company.
- Then press the Escape key, then "Order offer" and "Quick order" to select an order from the list.
- Long distances are pretty monotonous, but bring a lot more money.
- After a few trips, you can buy a truck and start your own forwarding agency.
- If you have raised 15, 000 to 20, 000 euros, you can also take out a loan. Interest rates are very low, so you can easily repay the debt later.
- Buy a good truck right at the beginning instead of upgrading after a short time. Under "Truck configurator" you can adapt the truck to your needs.
- With your own truck you automatically have your own shipping company. You can now select a freight under "Freight market".
- As a self-employed person, you also have to pay for petrol, accidents and traffic violations yourself.
