Hire an experienced or less-experienced driver
The getting-started guide describes driver candidates as differing in skill, pay, and trucking experience. It says more experienced drivers cost more, while less-experienced drivers can cost less but may waste more money on repairs and fuel.
How it works
Hiring follows adding a second truck to the fleet at a garage, then visiting a Recruitment Agency to select a driver for that truck. The source does not quantify pay, repair costs, fuel use, or experience effects beyond this comparison.
When it helps
Balance the higher cost of experienced candidates against the stated repair and fuel risk for less-experienced hires.
