I went looking for my loads, I have been running ATS for years and they only save the last 25 online. I think someone said there is a load register somewhere in the game, does anyone know where? I have three jobs to complete, two in Montana and than all the oversized loads, I sure would like to find an easy way to find out what I still need.

Thanks to anyone that has the information.

The only in game display of the deliveries you've done is in the progress history display, which is hardly in a useful format for the kind of queries you require. The information (or at least, most of it) is held in the saved game file (in the delivery_log_entry units) and there are probably tools that will enable you to view that (but I have no personal experience of those, sorry. I wrote my own but it relies on my regularly decrypting textual saved game data and extracting .sii data out of the static game data). Hopefully someone else will pipe up with suggestions.

Edit: SCS replaced the progress history with the more useful Career panels in v1.47 in April 2023 so the above statement is out of date.

I use TruckBooks to record my runs. WoT has missed so many, especially lately. TruckBooks can show me many more than WoT ever could. I started using it in 2019 and I can go back and look at whatever run I like whether it is a WoT run or not....:) Here is the link to TruckBooks: https://trucksbook.eu/

In the VTC.World project, this is perfectly implemented. SCS should consider the features of this project as an example for their games. But we all perfectly understand that this will not happen, since the target audience of the game is 3+ and there is no need for such functions.

I just keep it simple. Load number, pay, company out and company delivered to, miles, time, fuel used, time of pick up going out and time delivered, plus bank account. And I do it in a large loose-leaf binder.... nothing fancy.

As for 3 logbooks IRL. I never even used 2. I figured running 2 was worse than getting caught not even running 1. If I was heading to California from Northern NY. I signed it and threw it in the bunk. Same heading back. I was lucky, I never had a logbook check anywhere. for all the trips I made.... IIRC I ran 14 out and back. And ran through all of the lower 48 states.

It has been explained over and over and some still refuse to understand it correctly. SCS target audience is not 3+. That is just a rating to show the game does not have things that children should not see in it. That it is ok for children to play. I understand that this explanation they gave does not fit some peoples purpose here, but it is correct.

I started my excel file in 2020 while I was a local driver.. over the course of time its very tedious lol but ive added in not just the point A to point B stuff. Ive broken down the cargo Im hauling and use pallet counts, order numbers, warehouse inventory, etc. Can also check out my Facebook Page for the company by searching ZaTransportVTC. There is a pinned post with a View-Only link to said excel file. This one is 1/5. I manage a custom warehouse Distribution in-game called Vesco Produce Distribution as well. With the inventory of freight, I simulate multiple stops with Trucky by essentially piggybacking the loads out and not return back to the terminal till the end of the game week. I randomize numbers that represent Truckloads/LTL, an then build off from there.

Depends on what you're trying to achieve (and need is an interesting word in this and many other contexts)
Cheers, Steve
