The fact is he did tell you, didn't he? You weren't totally left in the dark. I was referring to CB Calls. Hitch-hikers, and people you meet are a little different. When you meet them it's pot luck, and a chance you're taking just like in real life. This part of the game I find amusing, and is what draws me into it. I like a certain amount of uncertainty.

And he still doesn't get it. Who said anything about MY STATUS? But ME MYSELF NICK THE MAIN CHARACTER, does know if he has an iq over fifty that he is already on a timed job, and that he cannot decide to take on another assignment without this particular piece of information, so he needs to ask it but nooo, the game goes like this:
-Do you want the job Y/N
-Yes, where do I have to go?
-You have to go to the other end of the continent in five minutes.
-Ok, Now I have to use my time machine and go back to the beginning of the conversation and turn the job down. You really don't see anything wrong with this?

No, I don't. It's you that has to make the decision based on the information you have, and the loads/missions you currently accepted. However, I don't remember too many 5 minute missions. Maybe they were the ones I rejected anyway. As of now I'm going through my third game to list some more spoilers, and thus far I haven't encountered a Side Mission that didn't tell me pick up & drop off destinations before I answered YES, and that includes some people I met on the side of the road.

Its not mystery its stupidity have you ever encountered a logistics or trucking company that would accept jobs in the middle of another job without knowing anything about the job? I guess it would go out of business very soon, or maybe it was a money laundering front, because then it wouldn't matter how profitable it is.

Were you ever a trucker?? I had many job offerings while on the road. Pick up here, and drop it off there. I didn't get the full story until I met with the merchant, and got the bill of laden. That company is still in business across the US. Ask any OTR trucker that question, and over 75% will tell you YES, and they're probably working with a highly reputable company. This helps a trucker from "Dead-Heading", and greatly aids him/her if they're carrying a half a load. This is precisely what keeps a trucking company in business.

Either way you, and I seem to be at an impasse. It's just a part of the game you're going to have to deal with yourself. I have no problem with this feature of the game. As I said before, I think is adds some mystery to the game, and I like mysteries. I also don't mind making multiple saves, and reloading to see the "What If" results if I chose to accept, or refuse a mission. This always seems to greatly help me when I play the game over. With a game like this I sit with a pad & pencil. I like to take notes. I'm already beginning a list of how much each mission is worth, and how much the penalty is for canceling it. I may even put in the time limits too.
