But by and larger, there's a fairly clear "scale" that different trailer types fall along and the game just does not capture that properly at all. Short stuff paid more based on time invested than miles. I've pulled dry van loads that paid well over $2/mile because of extenuating circumstances. I've made as high as about $6.50/mile with my step deck with a oversize load that ended up being "complicated". Getting $3.50-$4.50/mile for "easy" oversize stuff on my rgn was pretty typical. It wouldn't be uncommon to see the bigger loads in ATS paying $7-$10/mile to the truck, not counting pay for escorts and permits.įor some perspective, I wouldn't hitch up my 48' flat for anything under avout $1.80/mile. Though some freight tou may choose to haul to get a load on pays less, freight that needs more specialized combinations like extendable trailers, extra axles, stuff that's way over-dimensional, stuff that goes to or departs from difficult locations and so on. Having lowboys at the top is mostly right.
#Job simulator trailer drivers
Limited pool of drivers and O/Os, higher expectations, greater insurance burdens, higher compliance scrutiny, etc.

Based on the equipment involved I'd say it pays well. I have nearly no knowledge on liquid bulk transport or gaseous cargoes. In part due to the work expected of drivers (though ELDs have cut into that labor model) and the specialized trailers as well as due to the fairly common deadhead mileage often involved. No idea on pneumatic bulk trailer rates but probably on the upper end of bulk trailers in general. In general I would expect the general "rule" of more specialized equipment paying better would make stuff like a hopper bottom or end dump pay closer to vans or flats while life floor trailers or more specialized dump trailers paid better. I'm not up on dry bulk trailers in general but they often pay ton/mile so the type of cargo and volume and weight capacity of the consist will alter that. Stuff like step decks pay a little better than refers. The lower end of open trailers (flatbeds) are pretty close to refrigerated trailers, but often a little lower. They might as well just all pay the same since that would just as (completely not) realistic as the current rates.īasic open trailers, on average, pay more than vans. While the actual PPM is obviously skewed to make the game easier, the relative PPM differences from trailer to trailer is pants-on-head stupid.
#Job simulator trailer mod
Not a huge deal to me, I'm sure there is mod that does that or maybe I'll make one.ĮDIT: I put together a more comprehensive list to include a breakdown by mileage category (based off of Skill values) along with Freight Job & Quick Job for comparison. Personal Comment: While I understand it is not exactly realistic, I hope SCS balances these prices to all be similar that way individuals can drive with their preferred trailer type and still profit equally. \* Sliding Tarp Note: Despite being part of the Flatbed trailer type, the jobs available were significantly lower, hence why I separated it. No jobs were found to be over 2,500 miles. Also included Freight Market* and Quick Jobs** for comparison.
#Job simulator trailer plus
Highest paying ($ per Mile) job broken down by mileage category, plus an average across all jobs.

I plan on updating this list as I purchase more DLC. This was base game as of Version 1.43.2.17s.ĭLC: I have Washington, Oregon & New Mexico.
#Job simulator trailer mods
Mods & Version: I have no mods installed that effect economy. Profile Skills: My profile was level 30+ with everything maxed (except fuel efficiency). Trailer Build: Each trailer build was kept to a single "container" (chain type) with no more than 3 axels to maximize map location availability. EDIT: Now includes breakdown by mileage range/category.Ĭargo vs Freight Jobs: At the time of documenting this, my Freight jobs were offering up to $97 / Mile. This was a quick and dirty list, I plan on documenting more as I play to fine tune the numbers. Summary: I'm somewhat new to ATS and since I found this question commonly asked, but not clearly answered, I bought each trailer type to evaluate which one offers the most lucrative jobs.
