I was very young when I first started playing ETS2, and I couldn't drive at all. Yet somehow managed to scramble enough money together to buy the smallest MAN there was without a loan. I drove it around for some time, and eventually as I upgraded the truck I began to have difficulty making ends meet. So I ended up with 41k in debt, and they confiscated my truck. I remember being so sad about it I think I genuinely cried lmao
I played the game for almost 900 hours now and never would I have thought that SCS implemented such a system into the game, even though it seems kinda reasonable to do so. Interesting video!
with over 4700 hours on the game I have never been in debt that much so I never knew the game would actually sell off your truck good video keep them coming!
In german truck simulator your account will be deleted at the end, there comes a message "You dont have enough money to play" and then youre in the main menu
I am an ETS2 veteran and I've always been impressed with the level of detail SCS managed to put into this game. This genuinely amazed me. Props for testing it out!
I did the same thing with a driver in ATS, though he had a costly empty trip while I was still growing, took their truck away, now drives a very silly W900 (6x2 sleeper/600hp/6 speed without retarder).
Yeah same, I hadn’t bought a truck for them thinking that wouldn’t be the case. To save it I disabled fatigue to finish the Spain-Turkey trip I was doing just in time to get enough to buy another truck
Never knew about this in all these years... I started January 2013 playing ETS2, after my dad gave it to me as a gift and since then I play every so often the game and see how it's expanding like crazy. Nowadays with every Map-DLC, ProMods, RusMap, SibirMap, Great Steppe & Southern Region-Map (and many, many more for sure), there is just no comparison to the old, standard map. And I love to see that. I have no real idea, how much time I wasted in playing it, but I definitely know, that I have more than 5000h in it (or not really yet) And I still haven't managed to get more hrs on Steam than on the Physical copy. Still after all that time, I never knew, that they built in such a mechanic, on the other side It just makes sense. EDIT: Found some playtimes... ETS2 - Physical: 186d 5h (4469h) ETS2 - Steam (Online): 6d 23h (167h) ETS2 - Steam (Offline): 15d 21h (381h) Dang... I wasted some time... At least I had fun
Once that happened to my account, I was too scared because I thought I was going to lose everything, the good thing is that the game takes you back 2 days to avoid that.
Tested this so the truck wont cover the debt. Had 100k in debt for a truck that sold for 50k. Expected profile to be deleted, but simple enough it was just my truck being taken away and well, the remaining debt just remained. Disappointed? Yes. Hope yall are happy.
My truck got impounded two or three times once. I was really young when I started playing, and didn't really understand money and loans, so I took out many loans, got the most expensive Mercedes Actros with the most expensive modifications, and after a while all the loans started being paid back, so my blue Actros got impounded, and then I did the same thing with a green Volvo FH16
The bank literally went "dear customer, your debt is settled, feel free to borrow a loan from us again anytime. Also, we sold your truck, we're sorry about that. You should start taking jobs to fix your financial crisis, good luck! Sincerely, the bank"
Played both games for 1600+ hours (1050+ in ETS2 and 550+ in ATS) and I never knew they actually confiscate your truck. I usually play on infinite money profiles because I don't care about the company building in this game I just like to drive so I never got that far except for just the overdrawn emails when I first started playing on a legit profile.
That's the difference btwn Quick Jobs and doing it yourself. Quick jobs, you only hurt your pay for wrecking the truck. All fines, gas, and repair bills go to the company and they don't do crap about it. Unlike doing it yourself where mistakes will cost you. This should be mandatory for "Idiots on The Road".
This is a good video as some of us get in such a hurry that we want to make the delivery and we get carried away. We keep getting deeper in debt and if we aren't careful, we end up losing the truck and trailer.
The game by itself is stupid. Just delivering cargo and making money and buying stuff, hiring drivers and that's it. Has no goals, has no rival companies, absolutely no actual aim.
@@ThAmCh Games themselves are stupid. You just sit there in a chair front of a panel with thousands of tiny lightbulbs in it that trick your eyes into thinking there are actual things in it while you press buttons to make things happen on said screen.
A follow-up question: what if the player owns a truck, which the bank then confiscate, but the debt is still unsettled (i.e.: the confiscation of the truck didn't cover the debt). What happens next? How the bank's letter(s) will read?
The more I look at it, the more I think it is impossible to get in debt in this game if you know how to drive and follow the traffic laws. With all dlcs for ETS2 if you have your own truck and half mil in pocket, no hired drivers, you can explore about half of the map if not more without taking a single job.
Not on real economy mod... when u get 2 / 2.50 per km with ur own truck I was in debt but paid off, it was just for one day, now i got 470k left to pay and i got 40k in my pocket + 3 trucks 22 lvl xdd
When COVID 19 began I started a new profile and right now I have 225 drivers and 227 trucks and 47 garages 😎😎😎😎😎 More than €120 000 000 in money made and €1.l million in daily profit
I wish they would bring back the feature to select your break hours; you used to be able to stop for as long as you liked. It would be nice to do that again without having to use the console. To be fair I think if you go under it should really be game over. That would put pressure on you to make sure you don't.
Mounts remote bomb on truck Bank: We want your truck Me: fine, here's the key Driver from bank presses keys 10 meters away BOOM Well you got the truck so its not my problem
I was hoping for a bunch of guys in black suits coming to your location in game in black cars and then we'd get in a chase lol. That would be epic *cue moonshine runner*
And if you run out of fuel, you just have to exit and restart the game, and you will have a little bit of fuel in your tank again. (Not sure if it still works, though)
i wonder if you got the final demand then totally 100% destroyed the truck the bank probably wouldn't get anything by selling it once they confiscate it from you?
I remember them back in ETS one when are you lost all your money Game Over you had to start over again you didn’t have the chance of keeping of save game luckily I have about 4 million in savings probably because I have so many workers round 40

I dont know how, but my little bro when he was at age of 9, he was 82k € in debt and somehow managed to still have his truck. I guess it was just the version of the game we had...
I started ATS, got a Volvo truck using a loan, and i have 18k in my wallet, i am doign jobs and now am scared, my truck is pretty well upgraded so i might have to drive MUCH more carefully now
yeah so i made a my way from Kirkiness all the way to argeciras in order to try get out of debt my mistake was i did that in Truckersmp where some people are just "braindead" when it comes to driving well i myself am not perfect but lets just say i got there with 50% dmg on cargo and my truck got sold even after i dragged it 300km with 80% engine dmg was most emotional after loosing my Nice truck :(
I play with an income scale of 0.075 (Profile editing) which results in deliveries yielding about 2€/km instead of 30€ and i still never managed to go bankrupt... is it me being a good driver or is it everyone else being bad???
Apparently, if the repo doesn't cover it, you're in debt and all Quick Jobs you do will go towards paying it off. Which means you can't own anything else until you earn more money.
