πŸš› Logistics firms

Run a haulage fleet and work the trade routes. A logistics firm uses the county's trucking economy: buy cargo at one storage, haul it, and sell it where it fetches more. Firm-owned trucks and trailers work exactly like personal ones, and the firm gets a live market report to find the best routes.

Moving cargo
Buying, loading, hauling and selling
  • /cargo buy and /cargo sell trade at the storage arrow you are standing at, or at a business entrance when selling.
  • Bulk commodities (fuel, milk, dyes, cereal, cotton, aggregate and scrap) pump straight from the cab. Everything else is carried crate by crate on foot.
  • /cargo take and /cargo place move one crate between the ground and the nearest unlocked vehicle. /cargo pickup and /cargo putdown lift or drop a carried crate.
  • /cargo fork shifts cargo between vehicles with a Forklift, and /cargo list shows what a vehicle holds.
  • Trailers hook up automatically when you reverse onto one. /trailer lock ties a trailer to your firm or account, /trailer cargo checks it and /trailer detach drops it.

/tpda is your trucker's PDA. It lists every industry, every business taking cargo and the capacity of each vehicle.

Ranks, permissions and the firm bank

A firm starts with room for 10 members. The owner invites people with /firminvite and everyone works under one of four ranks. Each member also has permissions, and the owner can see who has what with /firmmembers.

4TraineeNothing. A trainee is on the roster but can't use the job tools yet
  • Promote or demote with /firmrank [player] [1-4], or /firmorank [character id] when they are offline. /firmkick and /firmokick remove someone.
  • Members clock in with /firmduty. Most job commands only work while you are on duty.
  • The firm bank is shared. Anyone can deposit with /firmbank deposit [amount], but withdrawing needs the bank permission. Owners and managers have it.
  • Use /truckerstats to see your own trucker rank and hours.
  • Only the owner can close the firm, with /firmclose. Closing is final.
