Over the past week, I have been working on creating the Delivery Job System suggested by Tomo ( reference). Today, I am able to announce its deployment onto v5p. This update consists of a new job, three new vehicles, and a new system for delivering cargo.
Overview
Quickly explained, the Delivery System allows players to transport cargo given by a dealer from point A to point B for money. A player can request a cargo delivery job from one of the NPCs, and if they are eligible they will receive the details of their newly assigned job. Then, the player must take the given cargo to the location specified within the time limit given. These, of course, are not the only factors - players must consider damage to their cargo and the legality of their job. More is explained below.
Specifics
New Vehicles
The Cargo Dealer
NPC Interaction
Delivery Job HUD
Completing a job
Failing a job
Illegal Cargo
Picking up Cargo
FAQ
- The NPC says I am not qualified, how do I fix this?
The cargo dealers will only give jobs to employed drivers. This means you need to be the job 'Delivery Driver' and then ask him.
- The NPC keeps giving me the same job, why?
As explained above, if you deny a job from one of the NPCs and re-request one, they will give you the same exact job for a while. This is to stop people retrying constantly until they get a preferred job. If you don't like the job, you can always request one from the other NPC.
- The NPC keeps telling me he has no cargo, why?
You can only do a job from each NPC once every 5 minutes. After the time is up, the dealer will have some more cargo for you to deliver.
- How is cargo damage calculated, and where is it displayed?
Cargo damage is calculated upon making a collision that would realistically damage the cargo. While this may not work 100% of the time, it is the most efficient way of doing so. The cargo damage is displayed on the left side on your screen under 'Status:'
- How do I search the cargo of a truck?
You can search the cargo inside a delivery truck by simply reloading with your keys when facing the vehicle. However, you must warrant the vehicle/owner for a search beforehand.
- What vehicles can deliver currently?
Currently, the vehicles added can perform delivery jobs. However, more vehicles can be added to the scope (such as the Transit and Trucks) if needed. Tides Truck also has access to a few jobs.
Ending notes
The system is currently only configured for V5P however, if needs be, the system can be used on v4b later on.
If you find any issues, bugs or concerns please contact me or another appropriate member.
Thanks to Tomo for coming up with the idea and suggesting changes throughout the development.

Nice, but one question: does this work with the existing trucks and trailers or just the new vehicles?
