Freight Exchange & Cargo Systems¶
The Orders Freight Exchange is the central marketplace where dispatchers evaluate and accept logistics contracts across Europe.
Order Mechanics & Availability¶
Every contract listed on the exchange displays payload requirements, cargo type, departure, destination, distance, and financial yields.
- Independent Job Lists: Since update 0.17, accepting an order removes it only from your own exchange view, preventing order sniping by others.
- Beginner Payout Boost: New companies receive a +10% bonus on base rates for their first 7 days.
- PRO Member Advantages: Active PRO subscribers earn a +25% score bonus on completed runs.
The Three Order Visibility Filters¶
Visible orders on your freight exchange are governed by three independent filter criteria:
- Tonnage Capacity: Your truck's payload class must match the job.
- Cargo Group License: You must possess the license for the cargo type.
- Country Access: Both origin and destination must be in unlocked nations.
Tonnage Classes¶
Vehicles and freight contracts fall into five primary weight classes:
| Class | Gross Weight | Ideal Operating Role |
|---|---|---|
| 7.5t | Light Distribution | Urban delivery & regional starter runs |
| 18t | Medium Haul | Regional distribution & event transport |
| 26t | Heavy Rigid | Inter-city logistics & medium haulage |
| 40t | Articulated Semi | Long-distance cross-border logistics |
| 44t | Articulated Heavy Semi | Long-distance cross-border heavy logistics |
