Hired Drivers/Management, New Trucks, Income, Offices, & Related Questions.

[Starflyer]

Sorry, I have read nearly the hole RnR-Question Forum, but I don't find an answer to my questions.

I know how to buy a truck or how to hire a driver.
And i know how to navigate through the map. In 2 weeks i never failed to find my way.

But why are 2 of my 3 drivers doing this crazy things? I've got 4 Trucks. All brandnew, fresh from the factory, with zero miles, and all fully loaded. A Argosy, a Classic, a Atlas and a Venture.
The Venture is my own Truck. And my best driver is driving the Argosy for 2250$/d with 63% loyalty and great income. And the Argosy is crap, like the Sterling 9500. His driveability is terrible.
And i have the good Classic and the wunderful Atlas. Both abolutly fully loaded. But the 2 drivers want 50% more loan, have both a bad income, high costs and low loyalty.
Why?

hello everyones, greetings from Chile, sorry for my bad english. This is my first topic.

Well, yesterday, I finished the story mode, and it was great, very fun.

Now, I have a problem, (I believe someone else have the same problem but he had a pirate copy of the game, I think), when I want to buy a new branch, the game send me this message:

"your turnover (daily income) allows you to contract only 14 warehouses" or something like that, which it`s mean than I can`t buy more than one branch...

What do I have to do to buy more new branches?? Can anyone explain to me please??

Please, try to don`t use many "difficult" words...

Thank you very much and sorry if the topic is post it again...

Bye!

Hello, and welcome to the forum.

You have to buy a truck, and then hire a driver, let him/her drive around a couple of days to earn some money. When that's done you should be able to buy another office. Keep repeating the process to get more office's.

Oooo, ok, I hired 3 drivers, a few of days ago. So, I have to wait, earn some money, and repeat the process? ok, great...

Thank you very much for the clarification...

How puts USA trucker, adding how is logical acquire truck and driver money goes down. I started session, acquiring 2 basic trucks and hiring 2 drivers, having down rest money.
How initally only can go to warehouse around of Nick trucking office and money received by travel is short. Then shall need long time making travels me and my drivers to recover money and acquire the third truck hiring new driver too!...
Except to make long travel out of Nick trucking influence zone, getting high money and recover money put on trucks and drivers more rapidly. Returning to influence zone with empty truck!...

If I understand this correctly, I'll take a shot.

When you travel outside your zone of influence with a load you obtained from within your zone of influence you will always come back empty. This holds true for your hired drivers. The programs warns you of this when you attempt to do it in your warehouse. Therefore if it happens to you, it will also happen to your drivers. When I start out with a small zone of influence I usually set the drivers to short/medium distance until I get more office's. I hope I got this right, and it helped you.

USA trucker, thanks to reply and give me suggestions. Basically you have put me the same idea that I put for cyrus, only changes that your words are more correctly written!...

can someone clarify if having the trucks you give to your hired drivers maxed out makes any difference to how much they earn or could you just give them base models,the reason why i ask this is because it takes a fair bit of cash to buy a truck and then max it out,now according to the planning screen in your office under the global stats section if you click on the little box in the bottom left hand corner it tells you about the california golden carrier thingy that basically says whoever signs upto all the warehouses ie gets 100% coverage you get the title and a big reward,so basically its going to take me forever to get loads of drivers to have enough turnover to get all the offices and all the other companies are way way in front,example;storm already have 25 drivers and 75% coverage so does it make any difference if your drivers have maxed out trucks or not,hope anybody reading this understands what i mean...

Yes, the better your truck is the better your drivers are. Less repairs, faster in racing, and if you have the double gas tank, naturally they'll spend less time in the gas station. Another thing to remember is that when you hire a driver, get the one with the most experience. They cost more, but the rate of return is better. Also for those of you that don't know.... It is best not to hire drivers until you complete the story line. The reason is that your rating will be very high, and you can hire even more experienced drivers. I like drivers with over 1500 experience. Don't settle for less then 1200. When I completed the story line I had a 2200+ rating. So I hired 2 drivers, both with over 1800 experience. I had 2 fully loaded trucks that I used in the story line in reserve. You can't hire drivers higher than your own rating. After that, whenever I could get my hands on a new truck I just kept adding them to my fleet, hired drivers, and expanded my office's.

I hope this clarified things for you, and others.
