Normal cargo v’s Heavy Cargo

#1 Post by TrevElvis » 10 Nov 2021 09:40

Since I’ve started this game I have always kept it on heavy load only and was wondering does everyone do this or is it just me ? . Also what weight changes from normal to heavy. Also I always keep the gears to highest number (18 speed), should I change this ?? Thank you

Play in a way that is fun for you. That's all that counts.

Imo, the heaviest loads benefit most from an 18 speed. Why, you have more gears. A 13 speed, you can't split the low gear but for 18sp, you can split all gears. For this matter, I only run 18 speed because I still use Freight Market exclusively until SCS floods the game with more cargo. I like to haul a huge variety so I drop trailers and pick them up just like before owned trailers came. The heavier the load, the lower the gears you will need. There are many times I have to start off in LL with heavy loads even on the slightest incline. Now I can't tell you where heavy starts but I feel the need for low gears at 60,000+ lbs. Not only do we have to pull the cargo, but we are also pulling the trailer as well.

More gears=More transferable power.

More weight=Need for more transferrable power.
