TBH I expected this to be done by now. 200,000 isn't a lot.

Were during the summer, so it's to be expected that things are slowed down a bit

I found the jobs available for the actual potato cargo, not the large spud, to be limited to about 4 or 5 cities, so the event is very restricted and gets repetitive fast. This event was my first to only ever do the required amount and no more.
Oh and i still havnt claimed my reward, i'm waiting until the event is over before i bother to with that.

Yeah I imagine the event is going by relatively slowly because it's so hard to find potato cargo. They should have upped the spawn rate for potatoes in general, but at the very least they should have upped it for the event. The Big Idaho Potato is really easy to find jobs for, and that's the one we only have to do 1 job for, whereas potatoes, which require 6 jobs, are very few and far between. Very fun event and a unique idea and cool collaboration with the Idaho Potato Commission, but the execution was poor. I would love to see more events like this one that have unique collaborations with real world industries and organizations, I just want the execution to be better.

finding the potatoes isn't too hard. I was able to find a handful of them just not all were in my taste in distances lol. But was able to find ones that aren't too long or too short. so I don't see them hard to find in my opinion

there is no problem with an owned trailer to find loads at all, the only problem is that most of them go out of Idaho and so you have to do a return trip or teleport back

Quick travel to service station and go to your garage works just fine
A bit of bummer for new players as yo need your trailer to get lots of potatoes to transport

I feel like the event is in part an advertisement for Quick Travel, considering that Idaho is easily the hardest state to actually stay in. Especially with a 100mi minimum.

If you want to exceed 100mi, you pretty much only have two roads in the state that will actually keep you within it. So you're usually going to end up in Utah or Oregon or whatever, and obviously those can't generate jobs starting in Idaho. Granted, Ontario is probably closer to Nampa than the Boise quick travel point is, but details.

Unfortunately, you can quick drive in only four cities in Idaho and one of them doesn't even spawn potatoes, so you're stuck with only three cities.
