Just in time Deliveries

[ambro789]

This needs to be adjusted somewhat, perhaps. If you are going to do JIT delivery it should be JIT. The game moves up the back end of the time but not the front. Example:

716km total trip in 9.0 hours which is average time of 79.55. Now I had to be there by 9:30 am to 11:01 am. I got there 10:42 pm the day before. That is not JIT.

Simple fix I think. 79.55 avg. is kind of fast when you consider going thru 2 towns, stopping for gas, and running down back roads over half the trip. So for JIT just up the average speed required to make the trip. The example above was requiring about an average speed of 35.8 km/h which is way slow for a JIT delivery, it should be around the 50 mark. That would make JIT what JIT is. You have to almost drive your tires off to make it. Which I did to make the time I did it in.

as I look on that time, it look like you don´t stop for rest and that´s probably reason, why you were there earlier. time for sleep is included in time for delivery, which takes more than 2 or three hours (just guess, it may be more).

Funny you should say that. That trip had an ETA of 12 hours. I read the time it was due wrong and was thinking I had to make it in less than 10 because it was a 3 red arrow JIT. I was thinking I had 12 total hours to make it. So since we can only drive 10 hours I wrongly thought I had no rest time. So yea, I think it allowed for a rest period of 8 hours? You cannot rest less than 8 right? Meaning you cannot stop your rest. Speaking of that, that is the beauty of ferry crossing JIT trips. The ferry resets your required rest time.

Basically you can safely drive 13 hours (11+2 extra) if you don't mind the "avoid sleeping" ( ) fines during those 2 extra hours. Dozing randomly starts within 20 to 30 minutes after those 13 hours.

Not resets, but the driver sleeps during the trip. If it's long enough you end up fully rested, but for shorter distances you just get your "remaining awake time" increased by the trip time.

Personally, I think ETS2 JIT deliveries are much improved over the old ETS1 ones. I remember that in ETS1 the time was so strict, that one red traffic light could mean you'd be too late. I always avoided them in ETS1.

Aren't those fines ridiciously cheap? €150 if I remember correctly?

Did ETS1 include time restrictions? I completed all the game without seeing a single JIT task…

I thought it did, or am I confusing it with GTS?

It did and, yes, you had to break the game (overtake AI via the hard shoulder on interchanges and stuff) to make it most of the time (any JIT delivery via a toll road was a guaranteed fail).

Are we talking about the same game? Where can I see time restrictions in ETS1? Any screenshot, please…
