Watch the speed limit signs though, especially in areas where speed cameras are common. Running with cruise control it’s easy to get in the zone and miss a speed limit sign. There is no such thing as a partial rest. Every time you rest it’s going to burn 8 hours, even if you’re not that tired yet. Start looking for a place to park after the first yawn, no sooner. Don’t bother sleeping between jobs unless the job selection where you’re at is lousy or your rest meter is nearly pegged. (Hit F6 to see exactly how much longer you have before you get sleepy) Most jobs will allot you enough time to sleep once, especially after you put a few points in the long distance skill, which you’ll want to do early on. For the really long jobs you’ll have time to sleep 2 or 3 times and have time to spare for checking out new towns along your route. As of this writing you don’t get a bonus for delivering cargo early, so sleep on the clock. You don’t have to go to green squares and stop at most plazas. You can slow to 30 kph and breeze on through the EZPass lanes, so watch for those, there will be nothing blocking the close end and a red “30” or whatever above the entrance. They take a lot of the pain out of toll plazas. Miss your exit? Well… You won’t be penalized for driving the wrong way on the shoulder. If it’s too far to the next exit and going to take too long, just carefully pull a u-turn, get on the shoulder, and head back the way you came. Slightly terrifying, but better than wasting hours going out of your way trying to get back on the right path. Also note that if you turn slowly enough you can actually push cars blocking your trailer without causing damage. It’s way more expensive than on the mainland. Never travel empty, or “bobtail.” When you go to job selection, click on the dot on the map for the city you’re in. This will list ONLY jobs originating in that city. If there are no high paying jobs, just grab a short distance job to a nearby city and try again there. And remember, $ per km is what you’re after, don’t just grab the highest total payout. On the same topic, the payout listed includes any skill bonuses for cargo type, etc.
