Hey Jackrabbit379,

Trust me, the biggest 3 suggestions I can give are:
1) edit your driver and change the gameplay style from standard to casual. (you'll never be late, they give you a month to deliver) 2) immediately get a loan for $1000 and get the $6000 truck. (it goes faster and fewer breakdowns) 3) join a company :wink:

No - there's no lease-purchase deals available. It's been suggested but hasn't went any further. As far as starting a CAD company - that would be cool. Might have to check into it.

Well, here's the info on starting a company:
Companies allow drivers to interact with one another and cooperate in the game. Companies require a startup investment of $7,000 by the company founder, known as the company CEO. There can only be one CEO per company who is responsible for managing the company and hiring and firing company members. Drivers need to have logged at least 10,000 miles before starting a company. Drivers must not have any existing loans before starting a company as well.
There are many possible benefits to being a member of a company in Trukz. Companies can provide members assistance based on percentages of repair fees, fuel costs, and ticket fees. The fees that the company assists its members with come out of the company’s budget so it will be up to the CEO to manage the company carefully and select assistance percentages that the company can afford as well as hire members who will be responsible drivers for the good of the company. Other BIG benefits of belonging to a comany are zero fatigue penalties for refueling and repairing while at a company terminal as well as increased profits on route collections for hauling company prefered cargos. See the routes topic for more details on driver pay calculations. Any player can start a company as long as they have the necessary funds and are not currently a member or CEO of an existing company. If you are already a member of an existing company you will need to leave the current company you are working for. Once you leave your current company the Create a Company link will appear on the Trukz left navigation menu. To start the company you will need to give a name for your company and then choose percentages for route collections, repair assistance, fuel assistance, and ticket assistance. These percentages are important because this is where new drivers would decide if they like your company based on the percentages that would be taking away from there pay on end route collections and how much assistance they would receive for their repair, fuel, and ticket assistance from your company. Even drivers who are working for other companies might quit their company and come work for your company, becuase they might like the percentages you have set for your company over their existing company. Once a company is created the CEO will have access to the following screens: Main Display: After you create your company the View Company link will appear in the Trukz navigation menu. This screen will display all the details of your company, link you to additional company options, and it is also the place where others drivers will place an application to work for you. Applicants: To view the drivers who have applied for your company go to the View Applicants link and you will see the information of your driver applicants. If you need more details on a particular applicant click on the driver’s name. This will take you to the driver's information display screen and from there you can view the applicant's routes (if they were late or on time) and if they have any tickets on their driving record. This is important because you want good drivers to work for you, to get the shipment on time and not late to the company. At this point you can choose either to approve or deny the application. Terminals: Company terminals are located in cities of the company CEO's choice and represent primary operation centers for your company. Company terminals provide a 10% bonus for goods delivered to a city with a company terminal. Company terminals appear on the map as blue markers where as non-company terminal city locations appear as red markers on the map. Each company can have up to 10 terminals. Each company is allowed to select one headquarter terminal. Headquarters provide 25% reduction in the cost of fuel and repairs for drivers who are currently in the headquarter city and NOT currently in-route. Ledger: You can also view your company transactions by going to the View Ledger tab. The ledger like a bookkeeping of your company’s money where all of your transactions are recorded. Here it will show your income on what comes in and what goes out. It also keeps a record of your money of the date and time of the transaction, the reason for it and how much you spent. Income will be shown in green and expenses in red. Edit: You also have the option to edit your company at any time via the Edit Company tab. This will allow you to go into your company and do some changes to your Collection Percentage, Repair Assistance, Fuel Assistance, and Ticket Assistance. Be careful if you do decide to go up on your percentages you could lose some drivers that work for your company.
