Importance of suggestion: 7/10
Why should it be accepted:

Alright, so I started playing as a trucker more often because I am developing a guide for it (similar to the one I made for cops). However, it was very frustrating to have only select places that you can take trucks from and the same goes for trailers. I can see how trailer spawns should be limited, but I came up with this idea and I want to hear your input/opinions on it. I'll list the main gist of the suggestion below, in separate bullet points.

Important Points

---

• A player should be able to walk up to a particular dealer placed at the outskirts of Los Santos, in Flint Intersection
  Note: Only should be able to tow the vehicle in trucker skin.
• Cost of the truck would be significantly large, since truckers would use this as an "independent worker". showed that Americans paid $33.6k for an average car, and a showed a truck was estimated to cost around $155k. I've picked the Uranus, a common sedan, to use as a regular car reference. Consider the following table:
  

  Average Car Price	Average Truck Price	Price Difference (truck's price vs the car)
  $33,600	$155,000	Truck / Car = 4.61
  $32,000	$32,000 * 4.61 = $148,000 (rounded up)	Truck / Car = 4.61

  So there we have it, trucks should cost around $148,000 to keep in game economy stable.
• Now that the "shop" and the "price" are taken care of, we need to think of utilities/purposes. I say this should be able to be towed from any shop but at a higher price. We'll use the same factor of 5 to calculate an appropriate tow price.

  Regular Tow	Multiplied by 5	Appropriate tow price
  $750	* 5	= $3,750

So there we have it, [u]trucks should cost around $3,750 to tow in order to keep in game economy stable[/u].

Additional suggestions

I'm looking forward to hear your input on this. I'll add some extra suggestions that you guys might have, I don't think the prices should be modified since I gave a pretty good proof as to why they should be what I say they should.

Anyways, I'll add suggestions onto this main topic as they get more feedback from you guys/etc, to try to help people from not having to look through replies to find what someone said.

Thanks for reading this,

Rally.

what is the point in adding this?

[Rally3]

Point is to allow players to have the possibility to tow their bought trucks (at a more expensive price). When you do trips around the map there's chances that your trailer/truck flips and you are basically fucked if that happens. You are also bound by fuel restrictions so you can be stranded as well.

This would be more helpful but usually when your truck gets damaged badly or messed up it's in places where a dealership are not within walking distance.

as long as it doesn't cause regular players (white) get into and drive the truck I feel it would be a huge +1

As trucker you face tight corners, dmers,rammers etc when you do a load from los santos to San fearro vise versa. Or from santos to lv. This will at least help you get your truck back. But also since you're a trucker who does not have a gun I'd think you should have a wallet when you first spawn. But only when you spawn in as trucker, not when you die.

I don't think the wallet is necessary but if it gets added then so be it. However, I'm glad you see my point. And yes, you should only be able to tow it as a trucker skin (I'll clarify that in the main post)

I want a truck as a house vehicle so I can spawn as trucker at my house or wherever. However I feel the truck should be donated for (if it's not already).

Just cause it'd help out the server and shit. (Because I feel a truck should be a rental if anything) There are rent to own programs but LSRCR wouldn't handle that well because people are running around with shit tons of cash however DP not likely and the truck would last for a month.

Just an idea.

The trucker class is for everyone and newbies might not have the budget to purchase a truck. However, i would be fine with it, if you can either purchase a truck or taking it from the spawn point.

I am neutral with this suggestion, because i don't see it so needed at the time.

Thanks for suggesting!
