Either that, or San Francisco and Las Vegas seem to get money routes on the west coast for those that run on that side of the country.

Does anyone else think the way the stock is weird in this game?
It is so hard to liquidate. You can buy up to $50K total at $500 a day.
So it takes 100 days to put the money in. Assuming the stock does not change at all, then it's another 100 days to get it back out at $500 a day.

I guess if this is a gripe then I need to do it on the trukz forum...
Anyone figured out some way for buying the stocks to make sense?

Tickets for being at 10 and going to 11, I mean, not being at 11 and going to 12.

Maybe we'll keep it, then.

But it matters how much we use the terminal, and it seems like every week there's a Atlanta/Jacksonville route, but EastTexas reminded me of San Fransisco which seems to have a lot of routes, too.

Buy low, sell high, I guess... also, check the Newspaper often, if you find a company that just started (within a few hours) and has public stock, buy as much as possible. I've done it, and my $500 investment has turned into $3,500 that I've sold. But you need to sell fast, because everyone else is, too.

Also, from the very few times I've been there, it seems to be that the general consensus on the Trukz forums is that the stock system is really messed up, and it might be overdone later, but no time soon.

Yep. I've gotten 2 tickets going from 10 to 11.

I need to sell my truck, dunno that I can. I think I can go on a casual basis now, and I need a new route.
