Game Cheats:
Easy Money:
The Easy way to earn money is cheating, but here we have an alternative to that. In this Easy way, you must have your own truck and two hired drivers. Then Select the driver from the road who are driving their truck and choose the one whose travel time is the longest. Then get to his truck and he will abandon your transportation which in return will be transported to your garage.
Note: This will immediately move from the amount of time needed to bring the
truck back to you.
The second one is to do the Time pass. Here you must have at least two garages
each on the end of the map and A bunch of drivers with their trucks. Then try
the fast travel from the garage manager and let the time pass. This will make
your workers paid for the successful delivery supplies. This way you can easily
earn more. The more drivers you have the more you can earn.

Free Fuel:
To perform this glitch refuel your truck at a service station and then save the game and exit. Then when you resume from your saved game and drive away from the service station you will notice you will not have been charged for the fuel.
Free Fuel:
If you played the Euro Truck Simulator, you will know how to do this: When you
finish refuelling your truck at a service station; instead of driving away, save your game, reload your save and drive away. The game will have forgotten to charge you for the fuel which normally happens when you drive away from the bowser.
Easy "Cheers!" achievement:
Complete 3 deliveries for the "Darchelle Yzau" company from their vineyards in
California. Sort by sender to find them. They have three vineyards close to
Carlsbad, San Rafael, and Eureka.
Easy "Sea dog" achievement:
Deliver any cargo to Oakland Shippers. Because Oakland has only one destination
it cannot be missed it. Display the map and find the Port of San Francisco.
Note: There is no label, however the icon resembles a bottle. It can be found
west-southwest of Oakland in the southern part of urban San Francisco area. Use
quick jobs and sort the offers per destination if an offer is about to expire.
If you cannot find a suitable job, try again later or quick travel to another
city in order to reset the job market offers.
Easy "Gold fever" achievement:
Deliver any cargo to the Coastline Mining company. There is east of Carson City
and northwest of Elko. Damage to cargo, time of arrival, fines en route will not
matter. You can deliver the cargo with your own truck or take Quick Job (which is easier because you can take cargo from any city, and not the one you are currently at).
Easy "High five" achievement:
Have at least 2 level in the Long Distance Skill to unlock 600+ mile offers. Because you have to deliver cargo on-time, take Standard delivery (one green arrow), and not Important (two blue arrows) or Urgent (three red arrows). Consider sleeping and refueling just before taking your cargo in order to deliver it non-stop. Fourteen hours between rest stops is enough time to drive 600 miles. When you take the job, note the delivery window. Do not complete your delivery before the start of this window. If you arrive too early, stop somewhere and wait. Remember that time passes faster outside cities and companies. You also must deliver the cargo without any damage. Drive carefully by checking your mirrors, using turn signals, etc. You can damage your truck and bump or scratch the cargo slightly, as long as damage meter
in the Route Advisor still shows 0% trailer damage. The delivery also must be done without any fines. Enable the speed limit indication in Route Advisor and do not speed. You can also use Cruise Control to keep your speed in check. Do not hit any traffic; even if you are not fined you can damage your cargo and vice versa. Use your lights when it turns dark. Do not ignore Weight Control. Do not run through red lights or drive the wrong way, as this will also be dangerous to your cargo. Be careful when turning right on a red light. If you make a mistake, you can be fined, as well as risk the chance of collision with oncoming traffic from your left. Also consider taking a job across the desert in Nevada at night to encounter significantly less traffic and police. The GPS shows the shortest route, but this may not be the fastest or the easiest one.
Interest Free Loans:
As long as you need less than 400,000, never use the 400,000 loan. Take out 4 loans of 100,000. Interest is charged just before noon every day. Before you get charged interest, take out a new 100,000 loan, and pay off 1 of the old loans. Repeat 3 times. Once noon rolls around, you're not charged interest. Build up your cash and when you can afford it, pay off one of your 100,000 loans. Keep repeating until you're out of debt without paying interest.
