Teleport to company when taking the same job in convoy

[PonPonTheBonBon]

The scenario; I like to play casual with other people in convoy, as part of streaming. Some of us have custom trucks, some does not since they don't play this game on their own.

Due to the game being limited in how you can filter jobs, we have the lowest level player pick a job, and they don't have their own truck, and rent one instead.

When you pick the same job as someone, you can choose to lend a truck, and start from the company directly; or you can choose to use your own truck, and have the option to be teleported to the nearest service ...

... which could be just around the corner, or several hours away.

I like to use my own truck, but I don't want everyone to wait for me to get over to the company.

The suggestion; have an option to use your own truck, but be teleported to the company immediately with the trailer already attached, as if you're lending a truck. I'm still willing to pay for being moved there. But this would make the casual convoy gameplay much more enjoyable.

But this could be an option for the convoy lobby, if you can teleport to the company directly instead of to the nearest service. In case people don't want this, they should have the option to not use it.

Same starting point like a spawn zone
Aren't you in a risk of landing on each other?
I like the idea though

Good point about spwaning inside eachother. But isn't that already a factor when teleporting to a service? Or using a ferry?

The game already allows having non-collission zones within the areas you pick up / drop off the trailers, so as long as there's no collission, teleporting should not cause an issue.

If collission is enabled everywhere, then I am curious of how the game deals with teleporting to a service or using a ferry. However the game deals with these two situations, the same could be done taking the same job and being teleported to the trailer.

I would also like to add a comment about another aspect of the game that is a bit annoying with casual convoy, that this suggestion can make a bit better too:

If you take a job with your own truck, you don't get that job until you drive over to the company, and no one else can therefore take the same job and will not be informed in-game where to go. (You can talk to the other people where to go, but the game doesn't help you)

If this suggestion could both apply to taking the same job as someone, but also when you pick a job from the freight market, that would make the casual convoy even more smooth.

But as said, if anyone doesn't want this part of their convoy, they should have the option to not allow it.
