[WARNING] This mod is not recommended for players with low stress resistance.<\/p>

This mod adjusts your net in-game income to realistic values. As an employed driver, your monthly earnings become 1500–3000 euros. As an owner-operator, you will earn between 1500 and 7500 euros per month. The mod is balanced to give you an average income of about 4500 euros per month, excluding toll roads and ferry fares – in real life, owner-operators usually avoid such routes. Hired drivers bring in approximately 1500 euros per month. Buying your first used truck (or paying off its loan) will take about 200 hours of real time.<\/p>

The game’s economy has been completely rewritten (all 404 cargoes in the game, including DLC, were manually rebalanced), recreating a real-world system for evaluating delivery costs. The payment for a trip depends on the fuel that will be consumed for the delivery. The influence of skills has been reduced to realistic values.<\/p>

The impact of skill levels has been lowered to realistic values. For example, level 100 now gives only a 5% payment bonus instead of 150%(original game bonus), so it doesn’t break the economy. Other skills give a 0.5% bonus per point. Base freight rates for cargo without skill requirements have been increased for the sake of realism.<\/p>

Driving time without rest has been changed. You can now drive for 8 hours a day, while rest takes 16 hours. Delivery deadlines have been adjusted accordingly.<\/p>

Instead of buying a garage, you purchase shared access to it with other companies for 8,000. The upgrade costs 1,000.<\/p>

The banking system has been reworked to realistic values. Loans are issued for realistic terms with realistic interest rates, and maximum loan amounts are limited.<\/p>

The mod includes realistic tire wear.<\/p>
