Quite a little convoy we're getting on there now. I would suggest creating a ShrimperZone company however contract bidding ends at 5:55am and someone would need to be up at that time every day to sort them out! Fortunately Battruck have some dedicated contract staff!

I am a Battruck contractor.....where is the Christmas meal this year, I need to work out my logistics!!!!

 

[Alexis_SUFC]

I'm on my way from Bordeaux to Madrid. Not a clue what I'm doing though!

 

[MrB]

Once you've joined Battruck, keep an eye on the company bulletins. Company contracts earn you way more so good to get on the routes (which are usually pretty well planned).

If you're remaining independent, check the 'Game Statistics' for hot routes and cargo for added bonuses.

 

[MrB]

For info, this is what I've earnt from company contracts in the last few days:

9/1/09 - Istanbul to Stockholm - $3,530
7/1/09 - Odessa to Stockholm - $3,018
6/1/09 - Rotterdam to Helsinki - $2,020
5/1/09 - St. Petersburg to Brussels - $3,516
4/1/09 - London to Helsinki - $2,378

Battruck can also now give you truck and fuel discounts.

To do Company contracts, do you just pick up the Cargo Type from anywhere and deliver it? So I could pick up Electronics from Prague and deliver to Odessa?

 

[MrB]

Yes, most are doing the Stockholm route as it's on the allocated 'triangle' but if you're in Prague then go for it. Press the calculate button before you load up and you'll see the benefit.

 

[Davros]

right, sigend up today, went to glasgow and am now going to Brussels, i think. Have since joined Battruck, and will get on a mission tomorrow.

 

[blues_r_best]

Does the weather only change when you do a leg? Or if you wait long enough will suddenly stop being so damn windy.

 

[blues_r_best]

Just got to Odessa and delivered my Gasoline and got my $1500, probably gonna head to Prague via Venice in the morning.

 

[Southminster_Shrimper]

I made it to Budapest in one piece after coming a cropper on the way from Glasgae to Londonia.....am now resting before selecting my next contract. Currently operating as a fly by night cowboy.....;)

 

[Davros]

im confuesed.

Im at Berlin and want to do the Livestock to Stockholm jobby, but i cant. How do i do the company contract?

 

[MrB]

You need to be in a location that supplies the goods. Right now the contract route is:

Stockholm to Odessa - Electronics
Odessa to Istanbul - Anything (non contract)
Istanbul to Stockholm - Livestock

They've also now added an Electronics contract to Prague.

 

[blues_r_best]

Just delivered my cargo to Odessa, and am on the way to Warsaw with my new tires, can now go 59 MPH.

 

[blues_r_best]

Chanced it and made it to Lyon with FP12

 

[MrB]

I did 67 in a 55 to get my last leg completed. Got away with it but the -0.5 rating hit can hurt if you get caught. Particularly when you're working towards the double trailer endorsement!

 

[Davros]

Loving this game. Thanks for driving my truck while i was away B.

Had a quick pop over to Roma over night, and am now half way to Warsaw... due to have enough fitness to make it at about 9pm tonight... d'oh!!

 

[markw]

right this sounds fun im joining:)
what was the company called ? battruck?

 

[Aberdeen Shrimper]

On my way from Dublin to Moscow delivering Mobile Homes

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

I've got myself a new set of tires - what should I be aiming to add next?

 

[MrB]

I found the fog lights and tyre chains useful to help in the very frequent bad weather. All depends how soon you expect to upgrade your truck.

Mark, yes Battruck, the HR guy there is pretty efficient so you should be accepted forthwith!
