contracts

Post by j f gearing »

sometimes when i sign up to a haulage contract, new ones pop up, usually 100 times better than the one i've just taken
I've been signing up for the good ones as well then dumping the first one
Should I be able to scroll the list in some way

cheers

I think it's just luck as to what you get offered on screen, and the only way of bringing a new contract up is to take one that's on offer. And of course Sod's Law means that any new ones popping up are vastly more lucrative than the one you've just taken!

As you build up your rep and the cargos gets smaller and more valuable, though, this becomes less of a problem... frequently I find myself going, "I'll take that one, and that one... Ooh! and that one. And – why not – that one as well since I'll be in the neighbourhood..."
