"If you don't have the money to pay off one loan, all you have to do is take out another loan to cover it." My man, you have a bright future in corporate finance.
I had the exact same thought. He put up “NOT ACTUAL FINANCIAL ADVICE” as if corporate entities don’t live and die based on their ability to pay off a constant mountain of debt. Either that or they just suck the coffers dry and declare bankruptcy, giggling all the way to the bank.
In fairness, depending on the financing, that *could* be reasonable. If you're just a bit shy of blasting what's left a big ol' loan to dust, taking out a little loan with far lower interest on it (due to the much lower principal) to strike the big loan down before you have to pay another month's interest on it could indeed save a chunk of change. Even more reasonable if your income stream is thicc enough that you sweep the small loan aside with your a small portion of your next payout. Done right, you save an entire interest payment on the big loan and lose literally no money from the small loan if you wipe it before a payment is due.
It's actually a very viable way to save yourself money and bad credit under certain circumstances. Yes, taking a loan to pay a prior loan still leaves you with debt, but a loan is much more than just debt.. When you take a loan there's always interest, or debt that gets added to your total debt over time and interest often increases over time, and even if your interest rate is "locked" then the longer it takes you to pay off a loan the worse it can be for your credit. Time is often a very important factor in loans, so taking a second loan to get a prior loan paid off now instead of in 3, 4, 5, 10 etc years down the road can actually be a good move as long as you're responsible, know exactly what you're doing, have considered the math, and as long as you're not constantly doing it like as a way to try and escape from debt.

Pro tip : If you are driving with a truck and/or trailer that isn't yours, if you damage them, do NOT finish the mission while they're damaged. Go to a garage/truck seller and GET THEM REPAIRED. Your employer will pay for the repair and you will NOT lose money because of damages to the truck/trailer. The only thing you can't repair is the load itself (so try not to crash too hard, especially with fragile things).
"Hey, boss, bad news, I hit four lightposts and a police car. Truck was pretty banged up." "You absolute idiot, I'm taking that out of your pay!" "Let me finish, sir! BUT, I used your company's credit card to pay for all the damages." "Oh ok that's fine then, here's your full pay!" : ^ )
As a profesional truck driver let me tell you a story, I once finished my shift in a tire Factory, there was a colleague of mine already there, so I went to knock on him whats he up to, he was playing on his notebook eurotruck simulator, some people live it to the maximum I guess
The only thing that would be better is if the character could play a game where they drive a truck. That way you could be a truck driver that plays euro truck simulator whose character plays a trucking game. Truckception.
@@Wolf-ln1ml In Euro Truck Simulator, drivers get paid a standard fee per delivery, plus some amount per kilometer, so drivers won't get paid unless they have a truck to do jobs
Ah yes. A millionaire-making simulator. These games always forget that you gotta start with 2 million dollars before you end up with a net worth of a million.
Things to do this far easier: - Don't hire the 3rd driver without a truck. You have to pay their wages and they don't make you money. Just slows you down a bit. - Focus your drivers on levelling long distance, just as you do for yourself. It is the biggest jump in increased profits. So as they level up they make more money more fast.
@@Kleyguerth once you expand this to more garages and are making stupid amounts of money is there any reason to upgrade their trucks or just keep them in the cheapest possible?
@@preyo6511 I don't know. I only tested which skill is the best for the AI drivers (ecodriving, then balanced). It's been a while since I last played, I gave good trucks to drivers in a garage, but I didn't have another garage with drivers at the same level, so I couldn't really compare. It seemed to not make any difference, but it might have changed as the game is still being updated!
@@preyo6511 no. the game does not care which truck they use. mostly like in real life it is not that important (time wise) whether you commute in Mercedes or Dacia. Better trucks however enhance your driving experience in the driving sim part of the game (which is the main purpose :) ), particularly howling heavy loads.
Too bad this video didn't come out back then. You'd just have taken a loan, bought your own truck, garage and so on... And been a millionaire a few weeks later!
I love how the way he makes money in this game is actually the gist of how rich people make money in real life, taking out massive loans to buy assets, this should really be called "life is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits"
Basically. It's simplifying things, but I had a wealthy family member who started a property management company tell me once, "The difference between someone who's rich and someone who's poor is what currency they use. Poor people deal in money, rich people deal in debt." It's often pretty damaging to the economy, but it's true. Unsurprisingly, he's a huge douchebag.

The biggest problem with being a truck driver is the amount those things cost to maintain, at least for the big ones here in the us even if you're bringing in $10k/month you could be spending half that or more maintaining the truck some months it's less but with how much repairs cost the big repairs bring the average up a lot, at least from my understanding they make good money but have to spend a huge amount on the truck upkeep itself
@@noodlelynoodle. Ever since I found out how the trucking industry works in the USA, I've been baffled... I mean, when you get a desk job as a programmer, do you also have to pay for your desk, chair, computer, A/C, ...? Or does your employer supply you with all of that as they do here in Europe - in which case, why is that different for truck drivers?
This exploit also works in real life minus the fast travel. In fact, many trucking companies follow this start up model. Cost to operate (truck note, fuel, insurance, etc...) is about $10,000 a month. Any scrub driver is expected to drive about 10,000 miles a month (which is actually an easy month) so cost to operate is about $1 per mile. A decent company driver (someone who only operates the truck and pays no costs associated with owning the truck) makes about $0.50 a mile. So we're at $1.50 for the truck, associated costs, and a driver. Most loads will pay over $2+ per mile. Longer miles r at lower rates and short miles higher. So if u own the truck, pay someone to drive that truck, and charge $2 a mile u will profit $0.50 per mile. Use one truck to buy another... And another... And another... Cost of a brand new truck is $120k-$150k+ depending on options. Used trucks (assuming 500k miles) r in the $70k range. Full disclosure... If one of ur drivers causes a wreck and kills someone u'll lose everything.
NB: no idea if it actually work this way irl. That's why you buy insurance. So one guy wrecking everything (because he uses crack cocaine or something) won't bankrupt you. But of course, you won't accumulate capital as fast. And that just won't do.
@@BicyclesMayUseFullLane The thing is, insurance doesn't save you money. Insurance costs more than it gives back, that's the business model for an insurance company, what it does is make it so you spread out the costs instead of getting a big hit when something happens but the more vehicles you have and accidents becomes part of the operating costs, insurance becomes an unnecessary coat.
@@nehcrum Well, yeah. Skippy crashing their truck and writing off all of the cargo is, almost by definition, catastrophic events, which I doubt anyone but the largest companies could weather. So if it happens early in your company's life, and you have no ways of mitigating it, you can kiss your company goodbye. And of course, when your company is large enough, you can opt to self-insure to reduce cost.
@@nehcrum a vast majority majority of trucking companies in the US have less than 5 trucks. One fatal accident (even if it is not the truckers fault) can very easily bankrupt the company. Sure the company doesn't have to pay for the accident or compensation, but the loss of a truck and the skyrocketed insurance premium will end that company. Even a non-fatal accident with just a loss of cargo can do it. It's super risky
Cost of a truck in Australia is over $350,000 new, and that is for a bog standard one. Then you have to get freight which is sometimes bad to terrible . The company I worked for went bankrupt at least twice in 12 years . Great job though , loved driving long distances.
@@BicyclesMayUseFullLane If you mean the capitalist has bought the trucks, has covered maintenance, permits and the like, and is employing the drivers so they only have to worry about driving, then yes. Remember it costs a fair bit to set up any business, and most startups fail.
"If you can't pay off your loan, take out another loan to pay it" So a consolidation loan or balance transfer? Actual real-world finance is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits...
@@HiddenRealm Smaller loans generally have to be paid off faster, so the monthly payments and interst are usually higher. So no, this doesn't really work.
It's called "refinancing". Any time interest rates drop, you start getting bombarded with ads to refinance your house mortgage. That's literally all it is - getting a new loan with lower interest rates and then paying off the old loan with that money.
@@DeadlyDanDaMan I didn't say it would. This whole joke is founded on bad financial statements made in a video game. This scenario works in theory IF you could find a situation for it to actually occur though. Of course, like you mentioned, it's not common.
Lawn mowing simulator is very similar for exploits. I hire other employees, and because the employees complete jobs just as fast as I do regardless of the equipment they are given, I put them on massively complicated time consuming jobs that pay copious piles of cash and would usually take over an hour to complete myself while I go spend 2 minutes cleaning up 5 objects in a park and miraculously, my employees have completed all of the hellacious tasks with equipment that would physically make the jobs impossible in that 2 minutes and I make fat stacks.
You have just discovered the power of the immigrant worker. They will work an ungodly amount with the poorest tools in little time. I once renovated a flat using eastern european Gentlemen. Showing a man a crusty linoleum floor secured with enough glue to horizontally attach a flagpole, that I wanted him to remove and trying to explain that he was to rent a floor stripper and use it, he simply shook his head. Instead he took a tiny scraper, went down on his hands and knees and his arm started moving back and forth like an industrial steam piston. Thus he attacked the floor. Chips of rock hard ancient linoleum and glue commenced flying and the job was done in less than an hour.
Long story short some of the stock image sites actually was claiming his videos. And considering EVERY video had stock images it meant he needed to either challenge every single video, or pay them for the stock images, he went with the latter. Since he had bought the images he got them without the watermarks. People apparently liked the watermarks so he made his own watermarks.
@@jameskim1505 Yeah there were a few videos without the watermarks and it just didn't look right. So Spiff added them back about a year and a half - two years ago.

@@zensoredparagonbytes3985 "Because they still use whips to encourage those horsepowers" No, that's the non British (colonies), British drive on the left-hand side as when on horse back you could pull the sword out and attack towards the right (dominant) side.

Speed limiter off... Drive as fast as possible everywhere you go... Loading up on paid drivers then just teleporting back and forth... I've watched a lot of your videos, but this is the first one where I actually play the game the same way you do. :D
I actually saw a SWIFT truck being the one that got hit a couple weeks ago... I know, shocking! It was hit by a CRST truck, one with a team in it. A team where one of them was helping the other back in... with about 30 WIDE OPEN spots nearby. Loves in Kingman, AZ if you want to see the truck stop for a better idea of the scenario.
For me it's less about driving and delivering itself, but for all the different lands you'll see through your travels. It's very easy to crash just by looking outside while you don't pay attention what's in front of you. :) I just wish that the games would emphasize the road trip/adventure-aspect more. Maybe introduce some smaller sidequests for specific landmarks, like "You have heard about the famous X Memorial-bridge. Check it out while you're here! Do you wish to set your GPS to it?" You know, just a little something to encourage exploration and leaving the fastest routes. Maybe by giving you a photo-album which you can fill by visiting all the POIs.

for those wondering if this still works it does (kinda just more grindy) you have to be carefull how you do it but doing the ferry crossing/channel tunnel method still works it just means you may lose some money as a penalty for not delivering but it is still profitable if done right :)
"We are now driving in Germany, which means we are driving on the wrong side of the road." Yeah... every country in Europe drives on the right side of the road and the Brit says we are wrong.
If you don’t drive on the left hand side, how can you stab oncoming traffic from your motorized hourse? And yes I added the British U to horse just to show them how unnecessary it is.
this is the youtuber way, however as a player u should never do that as u will waste alot of the early fun of building up your company. Some tips to follow for maximizing your fun per hour. 1. Make world of trucks account and use that to do only world of trucks missions (requires personal truck). 2. World of truck jobs have a blue timer instead of a normal ingame timer and the saving (synchronizing) saving makes ur vehicle crashes and flips upside down irreversible which enforces another layer of difficulty as there is "no going back" even if u reload. Tow service cancels mission. 3. Take it slow, get max capacity for the first garage and fill it up with drivers/trucks. Keep buying loans, priority is to lvl up drivers as u do jobs urself. 4. Help time pass faster with the legitimate way, which is by having the option to get tired enabled and when u need to sleep , sleep x3 times instead of once (maximum amount before it sais u are not tired anymore). ---It will take u tens of hours before u can have maxed out garage and 4-5 trucks n drivers (and alot of loans), without having to do game breaking "tricks" and will have a bigger appreciation of the game's progression. At this point u will be around 15 level character , which is also another limiting factor for getting the best trucks. This is the true vanilla "hard mode" without the need for mods to change economy.
_EURO_ truck simulator? Wait a minute Spiff... That's illegal xD *"We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed and we've been quite possibly **_Bamboozled"_*
This exploit still works but: You need to tak a ferry - the longest distance/time you can find instead of traveling to garages Traveling from garage to garage doesn't fast forward time now and will also cost you money Taking a ferry will cost you some money but the time will pass and your workes will work and bring you profit - it's still doable but a little harder
You can also just sleep for free repeatedly, owning just a single garage and won't have to travel anywhere at all. Using external contracts which expire in RL time, you can even have the entire garage full of AI drivers
There is another way to generate money out of thin air for free. You can just switch trucks with one of your drivers. Go to your driver manager, select a driver who has longest cargo delivery time and switch your truck with his. Accept the message, that his truck will be delivered in X time (for example 14 hours), the time will pass, other drivers will finish their jobs, and you will have all the revenue from that. Repeat the process as much as you like.
25:37 In fairness, this is pretty much refinancing a loan, which is actually sound financial advice, as long as the total repayment on the new loan (principal + accrued interest over time) is less than on the old loan.
As I was watching this I had closed captioning on. When spiff said "everyone needs a mega horn", the closed captioning said "everyone needs a beggar horde" and I spit my tea all over my desk
So you're telling me you spent nearly a week time traveling in a game just to create a massive, obnoxiously pink, road - legal flashbang to bully other drivers
7:18 Wales isn't the worst part of the UK for motorways. In Northern Ireland we also have only 1 motorway but you aren't even allowed on it at all until 1 year after you pass your test (including not allowed while learning with an instructor). You also flip the L plate around to show an R plate (Restricted - which is legally required for a year) and you can only drive 45mph maximum for 1 year after you pass your test. Everyone violently overtakes R plated cars even if we're in a 40mph speed zone. If you ever leave the UK and drive over the border to Ireland nobody knows what goes on there and it's a free for all (they don't even use mph or miles, it's in kilometres so nobody cares). Other parts of the UK do these hilarious P plates which aren't even required and don't limit you or mean anything at all except tell the world you recently passed.

Whereas "lorry / cargo-car" is anything that weighs more than 3,5-kilogram-tonnes, unless it's a bus or other special vehicle.

- Focus your drivers on levelling long distance, just as you do for yourself. It is the biggest jump in increased profits. So as they level up they make more money more fast.
- Customize the cheap truck you give to your drivers, you can remove some mirrors and get the price down to about 92k
@@Kleyguerth once you expand this to more garages and are making stupid amounts of money is there any reason to upgrade their trucks or just keep them in the cheapest possible?
@@preyo6511 I don't know. I only tested which skill is the best for the AI drivers (ecodriving, then balanced). It's been a while since I last played, I gave good trucks to drivers in a garage, but I didn't have another garage with drivers at the same level, so I couldn't really compare. It seemed to not make any difference, but it might have changed as the game is still being updated!
@@preyo6511 no. the game does not care which truck they use. mostly like in real life it is not that important (time wise) whether you commute in Mercedes or Dacia. Better trucks however enhance your driving experience in the driving sim part of the game (which is the main purpose :) ), particularly howling heavy loads.

@@Luftmysza. You dont need time travel, just find a job as truck driver lol. 10k per month is achievable with some experience :D
Don't forget to buy a garage in Istanbul 💀
The biggest problem with being a truck driver is the amount those things cost to maintain, at least for the big ones here in the us even if you're bringing in $10k/month you could be spending half that or more maintaining the truck some months it's less but with how much repairs cost the big repairs bring the average up a lot, at least from my understanding they make good money but have to spend a huge amount on the truck upkeep itself
@@noodlelynoodle. Ever since I found out how the trucking industry works in the USA, I've been baffled... I mean, when you get a desk job as a programmer, do you also have to pay for your desk, chair, computer, A/C, ...? Or does your employer supply you with all of that as they do here in Europe - in which case, why is that different for truck drivers?
This exploit also works in real life minus the fast travel. In fact, many trucking companies follow this start up model.
Cost to operate (truck note, fuel, insurance, etc...) is about $10,000 a month. Any scrub driver is expected to drive about 10,000 miles a month (which is actually an easy month) so cost to operate is about $1 per mile. A decent company driver (someone who only operates the truck and pays no costs associated with owning the truck) makes about $0.50 a mile.
So we're at $1.50 for the truck, associated costs, and a driver. Most loads will pay over $2+ per mile. Longer miles r at lower rates and short miles higher. So if u own the truck, pay someone to drive that truck, and charge $2 a mile u will profit $0.50 per mile. Use one truck to buy another... And another... And another...
Cost of a brand new truck is $120k-$150k+ depending on options. Used trucks (assuming 500k miles) r in the $70k range.
Full disclosure... If one of ur drivers causes a wreck and kills someone u'll lose everything.
NB: no idea if it actually work this way irl.
That's why you buy insurance. So one guy wrecking everything (because he uses crack cocaine or something) won't bankrupt you.
But of course, you won't accumulate capital as fast. And that just won't do.
@@BicyclesMayUseFullLane The thing is, insurance doesn't save you money. Insurance costs more than it gives back, that's the business model for an insurance company, what it does is make it so you spread out the costs instead of getting a big hit when something happens but the more vehicles you have and accidents becomes part of the operating costs, insurance becomes an unnecessary coat.
@@nehcrum Well, yeah. Skippy crashing their truck and writing off all of the cargo is, almost by definition, catastrophic events, which I doubt anyone but the largest companies could weather. So if it happens early in your company's life, and you have no ways of mitigating it, you can kiss your company goodbye. And of course, when your company is large enough, you can opt to self-insure to reduce cost.
@@nehcrum a vast majority majority of trucking companies in the US have less than 5 trucks. One fatal accident (even if it is not the truckers fault) can very easily bankrupt the company. Sure the company doesn't have to pay for the accident or compensation, but the loss of a truck and the skyrocketed insurance premium will end that company. Even a non-fatal accident with just a loss of cargo can do it. It's super risky
Cost of a truck in Australia is over $350,000 new, and that is for a bog standard one. Then you have to get freight which is sometimes bad to terrible . The company I worked for went bankrupt at least twice in 12 years . Great job though , loved driving long distances.

There's a few big logistics companies where I live so I'd assume at least one of them had that happen at some point.
this is the youtuber way, however as a player u should never do that as u will waste alot of the early fun of building up your company. Some tips to follow for maximizing your fun per hour.
1. Make world of trucks account and use that to do only world of trucks missions (requires personal truck).
2. World of truck jobs have a blue timer instead of a normal ingame timer and the saving (synchronizing) saving makes ur vehicle crashes and flips upside down irreversible which enforces another layer of difficulty as there is "no going back" even if u reload. Tow service cancels mission.
3. Take it slow, get max capacity for the first garage and fill it up with drivers/trucks. Keep buying loans, priority is to lvl up drivers as u do jobs urself.
4. Help time pass faster with the legitimate way, which is by having the option to get tired enabled and when u need to sleep , sleep x3 times instead of once (maximum amount before it sais u are not tired anymore).
---It will take u tens of hours before u can have maxed out garage and 4-5 trucks n drivers (and alot of loans), without having to do game breaking "tricks" and will have a bigger appreciation of the game's progression. At this point u will be around 15 level character , which is also another limiting factor for getting the best trucks. This is the true vanilla "hard mode" without the need for mods to change economy.

This exploit still works but:
You need to tak a ferry - the longest distance/time you can find instead of traveling to garages
Traveling from garage to garage doesn't fast forward time now and will also cost you money
Taking a ferry will cost you some money but the time will pass and your workes will work and bring you profit - it's still doable but a little harder
so you're saying i drove all the way from St-Petersburg to the south of spain for absolutely no reason at all? (thanks for the tip tho)
You can also just sleep for free repeatedly, owning just a single garage and won't have to travel anywhere at all. Using external contracts which expire in RL time, you can even have the entire garage full of AI drivers
There is another way to generate money out of thin air for free. You can just switch trucks with one of your drivers. Go to your driver manager, select a driver who has longest cargo delivery time and switch your truck with his. Accept the message, that his truck will be delivered in X time (for example 14 hours), the time will pass, other drivers will finish their jobs, and you will have all the revenue from that. Repeat the process as much as you like.

Then he takes 5-day tours from Aberdeen to Istanbul imposing his dominance. Spiff found a way to commit war crimes in Euro Truck Sim 2
7:18 Wales isn't the worst part of the UK for motorways. In Northern Ireland we also have only 1 motorway but you aren't even allowed on it at all until 1 year after you pass your test (including not allowed while learning with an instructor). You also flip the L plate around to show an R plate (Restricted - which is legally required for a year) and you can only drive 45mph maximum for 1 year after you pass your test. Everyone violently overtakes R plated cars even if we're in a 40mph speed zone. If you ever leave the UK and drive over the border to Ireland nobody knows what goes on there and it's a free for all (they don't even use mph or miles, it's in kilometres so nobody cares).
Other parts of the UK do these hilarious P plates which aren't even required and don't limit you or mean anything at all except tell the world you recently passed.
That's sucks.
Meanwhile in France : *highways are at 130 km/h*
@@clementpruvost8670 That baffles you? You've never been to Germany have you?
@@SteenG3yL i have, but it's has been years.
why not just ignore the rules and speed? no one is going to know!
That’s a weird rule, since frankly, motorways are easier to drive than city streets.
Nigel's driver: oh boy i can't wait to drive all the different trucks!!!
Nigel: here take this cheap ahh iveco
26:56 "and of course we're gonna pick up more IVECO trucks because they're cheap and Chips and then what we do is throw them into Turkey. Lovely stuff". All of it made me hungry. Need some tea now too
lol
Spiff: Uploads a new video
Me: *Intense clicking sounds*
Same
A tempting offer methinks....... ^.^
The start of this video i thought it was going to just be hating and mocking the game. But i love how your actually a fan and play it, respect sir :)
Euro truck veterans like me jiggle when you said "this is just majestic" on the mercedez because that's how scs called the brand before they had licenses for the trucks
>spiffing BRIT
>says 'truck' instead of 'lorry'
Disgusting

Well to be fair, some have made the distinction of trucks being the "road-trains" pulling the semi-trailers.
Whereas "lorry / cargo-car" is anything that weighs more than 3,5-kilogram-tonnes, unless it's a bus or other special vehicle.
( at least that's how Finns tend to distinct between "rekka / combination-vehicle" and "kuorma-auto ).

@@PaveMentman I'm Estonian coincidentally so I used to call everything a truck, but in the UK they call those articulated lorries or 'artics' in colloquial speech. Basically all the trucks in euro truck sim are artics.
He makes quite a few mistakes. Things like Brits saying "Gee", which we don't at all.
@@adammclaughlin845 I....I do
To be fair the game is called euro "truck" simulator
33:27 "And now we have this brand new Mercedes-Benz truck, and what we're going to do is drive out into um... the abyss, apparently- nope nope, Rotterdam has actually loaded in."
I wasn't sure about subscribing at first, but I took the plunge and did it and you know what? There was a garage slot ready and waiting for me and as soon as I entered who was there waiting for me, but the Glorious Spiff himself and he handed me the keys to a brand new Iveco truck!
That rhymes at the end
i like angelo's smile, its like he knows what is really going on
19:40 Sick overtake on this ambulance😆 Pun intended or not it made me crack up
- "How do I get rich in Euro Truck Simulator 2?"
- "Time travel into the future."
Top tip, instead of using dealerships & having to buy a truck to teleport around to cities you dont own a garage in, you can use the quick job tool to teleport to a different city to buy a garage.
All it costs you is the fine for cancelling your job
"fun and relaxing"
"It's essentially crack cocaine"
Ummm..
To my knowledge, that is quite the contradiction of terms lol
"A game for people with no friends"
Me and the boys who bought this game to play TruckersMP together: visible confusion
M4ng0: spiff come on we need to go to the shops.
Spiff: not now my dear I’m busy teleporting to Istanbul and back
"This is how trucks show dominance!"
😂
