Trucking is trucking. The larger the organisation you have the longer it takes to be a micromanaging nit picker. Even for me the task of redoing all trailers for all garages was too much. I didn't want to spend game-time selling hundreds of trailers only to then setup a company trailer template(x6+). Then go buy and locate each trailer individually for each garage(6-12 times for 170 garages). ETS 2 is a company management sim but there are some large task time savers still missing!
So my time in game boiled back down to more generalised management and setups as well as more achievement hunting.
Of course there were snags along the way.
In doing a lot of consolidation faffing about I found 2 trucks that had 'disappeared' which was nice.
Specifically, when I'd changed home base for my character I left a truck behind but had then sold the building it was in. The game puts that homeless truck in the nearest open slot making it 'lost' to me. Guess I did that trick twice. I've got a lot of garages. No great loss as both were 'expendable', with no real expense/upgrades or special features. Still nice to get them back due to the hours and distances they had clocked up(again a me thing).
Easy to see I'm into the micromanagement when I have a fully upgraded garage with 5 top of the line, favorite, personally tweaked trucks as a HQ.... But a small garage with 3 no frill trucks as my local 'current' DLC workhorses.
I used to do that a lot with racing games. On my left the large pristine garage with the supreme collection of 50 high end cars and an army of mechanics to pamper them..... On my right the small shed with the handful of cars that are driven into the ground as I giggle.
Fun is fun.
