An interesting life hack from my own experience. At the beginning of the game, I often used long routes, most of which can be laid by sea. You can travel them very quickly and get more money. Only experience is credited less, which depends on the route traveled.

This is definitely the best money making guide for ETS2 on youtube. The editing also stepped up a notch in this video. I love it! Keep up the great work!

Tip about the bank loans: never take out the max loan. Use the smallest option and get multiple loans you can replace after each trip with the last portion. That way, you dont pay intrest. Intrest is paid once per 24hrs ingame and most trips you do early on are shorter. It is a little tedious to pay off and borrow multiple small loans, but it saves paying a lot of intrest and you can use the extra money for getting more garages/trucks.
Consider saving up for a 2nd garage first, then buy the first truck and a driver. Keep doing quick jobs yourself until you have that 2nd garage filled with 3 trucks at least.
Never give hired drivers a 2nd hand truck. You wil have to pay for restoring and that gets expensive. When you do need extensive repairs on those trucks, you probably have tons of money and it wont matter much.

Thank you so much for helping me . When I watched for the first time, I didn't understand the part With the garages, but I watched one more Time, and now I understand

The key in making money is in your resting time. Every time you finish a job, go to a resting place and take as many rests as you can (I think 2 or 3 at most). It will allow for even faster growth

[bloodyeagle]

Thank you so much for this guide! Glad you guys are back, was waiting for some new videos and this one is the best one yet!

[TheManos]

And the last thing you forgot to tell is every time after a long trip you do with Your truck sleep three times before take another job . This is a trick to level up the drivers faster and to make money faster

[RedGallardo]

Actually, that's not optimal.
1. Take 1 long distance to unlock bonus for distance. That allows you to move more freely between cities at the beginning.
2. Take 1 fragile since it gives you the best exp bonus for 1 skill point (22%).
3. Take 2 rush to get second best (20%) and best of all (30%) exp bonus for these deliveries.
4. Take 1 special cargo to get all job bonuses.
The best money and exp you make by taking jobs with all 3 bonuses (special fragile urgent longer than 403 km) That gives you best exp thus allowing to level up quicker.
5. Then max out distance.
6. Then take 1 ADR and 1 fuel. ADR rarely goes with the 3 bonuses but the price rating relies on min and max levels you have. So you get more money for maxing out one skill (distance) and then try to fill all skills to raise minimal level. All 1s, all 2s, all 3s etc. Start from fragile, rush and special since they give money bonuses, then ADR, then fuel.
And do quick jobs, even though you get a bit less money, you can pick from all the variety of jobs in the world and you don't need to own any truck. Not spent = saved.
Try to always go to new locations to unlock more jobs. That allows better job choice.
Got lvl 65 so I tried many things. Maxing out distance first is awful for both exp and money. The sooner you get +70% exp and triple bonus the better. Plus the exp bonuses you get at the beginning will often determine whether you reach a new level or have to make 1 more run. And 1 more run = half and hour or so. Plus shorter distances allow you to get levels more gradually and reliably. And you need to run 1 more job to see new job offers after you unlock a new skill. The faster you do the sooner you see all the better offers. Once again long distance would only harm and increase the time to unlock cities.

i love how half of the comments are just bots advertising a scam crypto consultant

I’ve made so much money using this tutorial, changed my life in the game! Although I’m struggling irl this game has almost cured my depression, love from Mexico, yours truly the Mexicanspider.❤❤

[DoktorVicTim]

A small note regardign skills: You might wan tot take points in just in time as a second points unlocks one more type of deliveries. Time can be tight, though.

[JoaoMiguel-tzno]

Thanks for the tutorial, It have helped me a lot

[nik_yee]

Very helpful video! However, be careful at 4:35 you ran a red light and that is some reckless driving

[Bubahadr]

Good video with mostly begginers tips... :-) I hope for some more specific tips, like best cities for garages, where drivers will earn most... Or same guide about trailers...

[deechar]

Thank you, Im gonna try this out, I just got back into the game!

[MetapeterUndMetagreta]

6:36 Yes, buying a new garage for 180k gives you 3 drivers and upgrading just 2, BUT upgrading:
- lets you share your trailers
- 180k/3 makes 60k per driver, while 100k/2 makes 50k per driver, which is cheaper per driver, so upgrading is the way to go
-- buying trucks is obviously cheaper for 2 guys than for 3

[simverse-]

I would suggest the first skill is the adr for infectious substances, and the second is either high value or fragile (I forget which). It enables the medical vaccines which is seriously good money...and only 5 tonnes loads so can be handled by a cheap 4x2 low powered truck

[MetapeterUndMetagreta]

Skills, Job choice.

Okay, which method did you use to determine what skills make more profit? What are the Top 3 Skill orders?
You just go after "money received" totally neglecting the time needed and xp-per-time-unit-ratio:
Yes you can make 10k in one haul, but if you need two days for that, doing 5 hauls with 3k each in 2 hours each, that you make like 15k in 10 hours.

So going just after the money is a bad tip.

Why do you make more money with longer jobs per... lets say: a week?
Also: You get better jobs if at least one point is spent per skill except "just-in-time delivery" there you need two skill points.
The "less fuel consumption" skill saves money on EVERY haul whereas the "better payment per skill point" only gets you better prices on that exact haul.

Skill Assignment:
2:26 Tip 1: maxing long distance <--- why?
2:29 Tip 2: maxing ADR
2:39 Tip 3: one skill point for each skill <-- just-in-time needs TWO skill points
3:00 Tip 4: skill ecodriving last <-- no! DONT do that as it saves money on every haul, not just on... lets say a fragile delivery

Job Selection:
4:11 Tip 5: sort the list by price per distance
4:20 Tip 6: use undiscovered cities as targets to explore the map <-- dont do that! Just use tip 5, go into a convoy (so you drink coffee and dont lose time due to sleep) and open world map and do a little exploration trip through undiscovered cities and companies

[ivara]

I went only 2 points with the Just in time delivery for extra experience, to level up faster. Then max out the Distance

[meferswift]

Before watching, for starter max out stackable bonus like distance and express delivery,

then choose between : heavy, luxury or chemical
i choose luxury because you don't need really good truck startingout

then maybe upgrade the ecofriendliness
