Fees: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:27, 13 March 2025

Fees are costs bound to particular motorized rail vehicles and delivery orders .

If you drive a vehicle, you'll burn fuel, experience wear and tear , and likely spew emissions . All those things cost money and are bundled to a fee, bound to that particular vehicle.

Likewise, if you complete a delivery order , you may experience some wear and tear on respective cars and cargo . Those costs are bundled to a single fee too, bound to that delivery order.

To see a breakdown of exact costs involved with any particular fee, print out the fee on a career manager .

It's your duty as a driver to pay the fees. To buy new licenses you need to have no fees, and you can also be suspended from taking new delivery orders if you incurred too high fees.

At the start of your career , fee expenses are negligible due to insurance covering all costs in excess of $100. However, as your career advances , you share more responsibility. This incentivizes careful handling of all equipment and deliveries, skillfully and efficiently .

Servicing a motorized vehicle by paying a fee instantly repairs and restocks it to a mint state. This is the preferred way of servicing vehicles at the start of your career, when copay is low enough. However, later in your career manual servicing is a cheaper alternative.

You are not necessarily required to pay fees as soon as they come up . Sometimes it's better to time these payments strategically.
