NPC Trucking Jobs

[Will Cheverall]

Brief Description:

Add an NPC mode for trucking 

Detailed Suggestion:

With Trucking at the moment we have jobs which have been created by people’s businesses in the city. I think adding a similar version of how mechanical jobs are with a feature of an NPC mode would increase the popularity of trucking. How the jobs could work is that delivery’s could be delivered to businesses which aren’t owned by no one. Delivery’s could be delivered to los santos customs, barbershops, factories around the city and so on. 

Having this added to the server would give a different option to make money as there isn’t really many methods for crims to actually make money at the moment. I remember when I first came on the server this used to be a thing but got changed to how it is now. 

The Pros:

- Adds a different method to make money 

- Gives people things to do

The Cons:

- Dev work

+1 tho this used to be a thing, why it was removed im unsure but i was told before that the jobs were like 25K a trip and being unlimited you could make a hell of alot of money, few hundred thousand a hour

but it would be nice to have the option back again to do them, just have to work it so it cant be done on a loop, maybe have a cooldown between jobs or something otherwise you know someone will just do it for 8hrs straight hah

Solid idea, 4 jobs per hour seems like a good figure, if not less +1 from me as well, I do miss the old Ron Fuel delivery jobs (RIP Vikings)

Used to be a thing before the businesses change. With the right payouts, I cannot see why this shouldn't be reintroduced. +1

I miss being a Viking those were some fun times

On another thought it could be done abit different, maybe more like haulage type setup so aslong as your inside something like a mule, Benson or pounder, you could do like the taxi setup so go on dute and drive about, then you get a notification to go somewhere

When you arrive you drive into the blue ring and press E to load the truck then drive to another location and press E to unload and get paid

That would be the easiest way I can imagine to set it up, as you could kinda copy paste the taxi code and tweak it into working for this, then it would be able to control the payouts based on the job done ect, kinda white van man style job hah

The issue with this is that it'd then discourage people from doing actual fuel jobs for shops unless shops fork out more money to pay the delivery drivers

This I don't disagree with. Looking at the Work Finder App you mainly see a list of Fuel Deliveries up north that are left on the list, because nobody wants to drive to Paleto and back for £5,000. So it's already a struggle to get those deliveries completed, adding local deliveries that would generate city work for possibly more money and less travel could cause an issue. 

I also understand shops can only afford to pay out a certain amount for fuel deliveries so get the low cost, people just don't see it worth the effort. Maybe a consideration to make the suggestion only for Trucking Jobs and not to include Fuel Deliveries?
