Hey guys.
I really enjoy using modded trucks and sound sets, and having AI traffic, so MP mods have become sort of impossible for me to use, and most Virtual Trucking Companies are focusing understandably so on the MP mod.
However, I was wondering if there was any sort of Owner Operator simulation, with contract jobs for other companies. How cool would that be? Imagine VTC owners short on drivers needing to meet deadlines, you could bid on the job, compete with other o/os and help that company...grow a reputation with people.
I drive extra carefully dodging idiotic AI drivers and deliver cargo that is in excellent shape, yet the next delivery I can drop off a trailer with cargo in shambles and in means nothing...but if someone needed that cargo to be in good shape, there would be real consequences.
I guess I don't like the idea of being tied to one specific entity, but I would rather simulate the life of an independent driver, in such a capacity that isn't covered in the default game. I want to drive with others who participate in VTCs, but using the truck and paintjob I earned and paid for in game. However, I'd like my actions to still have meaning beyond my own personal game, so that there is more realism, more consequences, more meaning to simulate driving professionally. This would inspire competition among the other drivers. Who drives the best and bids the most reasonable rates?
Does anyone know of anything like this? Would it be possible? Most VTCs are looking for permanent members, for very good reasons. But I'd love to see a real down to bolts Owner Operator RPG style sim, with other players as real competition.
