These freights usually have a fairly high value, but this should also have a price.

We have imposed some rules on ourselves when driving such cargo.

For example...

- You always need your own trailer for these loads. [[ There is also the  opportunity of spawning the cargoes as finished cargoes with a trailer. ]]

- You can only get 3 traffic tickets before you get a police "check" and have to give up the cargo because you got caught.

- If possible, don't take any checkpoints with you, or it's best to avoid large highways (if possible in some countries)

- Avoid border controls (ship crossings do not count)- Drive neatly so as not to attract attention

- (In single player) You could also say that you are only allowed to drive at night.

Myself and my friends play with a very large map that stretches from South Africa through South America to Thailand, so very, very long distances are possible and so it becomes much more difficult. But ultimately it is up to you which rules you decide to impose/consider for this freight. Have fun with the freight and don't get caught by the police ;P XD
