yes. this gives you time that you can use if you really want that job. in city it is usually enough.
without said 5min bonus, that jobs would be already expired. giving you 5min is no loss for you.
Nobody can tell you anything about it. Those who know about it aren't allowed to talk. And those who talk know nothing.

Reinhard, Well, it actually should be like that, but it's not. Seeing how the expected delivery time for every job increments as the time goes by, they no longer look as a public job offers, but instead as a personal offers which change their properties to make it possible exclusively for you...

Max, Ok, I got your point, but maybe make it 10 min at least instead of 5? Will it break the gameplay? 5 min is really low window, the best you can is to get to the company with only 1 min left! :roll:

TBH I don't think using the 5min runs to boost is all that useful. 9/10 you're gonna get more XP and money by taking a job to another city.

Sure a same city job is faster, but you're barely getting more than the parking bonus. Is it really worth racing 5mins to a job when you can pick something with XP/Price boosts like fragile cargo and taking it further a field?

They not that useful as a boost, but they offer very high XP/km rate (helps with Minimaxer achievement ;)).
