You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.

AUTONE contains other products and information you need, so please check it out.

A lot of us, myself included, like it for the added realism. Most owner-ops own their own trailer, so they have to follow the freight. Also, (but not so much in game due to the overly well-paying economy) O/O's also try to find the best freight, and will deadhead a bit if something pays enough further down the road, or fits their truck's specs a little better, etc.

Watch some youtubes, like LifeisGood or SupertruckerDan. You will not see them dropping their trailer and hooking to another. It's theirs!

Drop-and-hook is usually in the domain of company drivers. Say you drive for JB Hunt, Schneider, or one of the other megas. They have thousands of trailers pooled, and usually several queued at shippers and receivers, so then their drivers can just drop off a trailer and pick up another one. That still doesn't happen 100% of the time, though. A mega fleet truck unloaded at a little Dollar General in the boonies is still going to take that trailer with it after unloading to get it loaded elsewhere, or to pick up a loaded trailer elsewhere.

One other thing. I like variety as well, so I bend the rules a bit and run different trailers, usually I like flats and lowboys, but sometimes I wanna run a tank or a tipper, etc. However, in r/l, most trucks (and the truckers that drive them) stick with a certain type of hauling. Even company drivers. You're usually not going to pull a tanker for Schneider if you are a driver in the van division, and drivers for Schneider Bulk probably hardly ever touch a van.
There are some owner-ops who do drop and hook, but they are usually leased on to a large fleet like Landstar or again, megas like JB and Schneider. Another very small handful will do that under their own authority. They are called "power-only" loads. Those are usually the exception, and not the rule.

Now I am ready for some mods to catch up. If I can get more variety in flatbed loads (and an ownable version of Smarty's Phantom), I will be very happy.
