What we know

How to approach the decision

Editorial planning advice based on the confirmed systems above.

  1. Start at the final customer and work backwards through each producer and transfer.
  2. Match the cargo category at the vehicle, station and warehouse.
  3. Inspect loading queues before adding more vehicles.
