Trucks need a rally point to return to when idle. (and I don't think the devs even READ these)
I will put some screen shots up to show the issue.
Trucks just hang out at the end of their last job. Real trucks don't do that.
It is annoying to wonder wtf is taking so long for a build when there are so many trucks available, just to find out they're all hanging out like morons at their last job far away.
Some sort of way-point or 'go to if idle' type of option would be nice. Please.
Even something as simple as go hang out at the gas station instead of being in the way for the next truck.
(I am not the first one to suggest something like this, reinforcing my belief the dev's don't even bother reading these)

no, this is not saving fuel
when tasked to do a job they have to DRIVE to the job, having a waypoint for idle trucks to return to will shorten the distance to the job, but total drive remains the same.
NO FUEL IS BEING SAVED WITH THIS, time is wasted waiting for trucks to cross the map when they've been hanging out for days or weeks at their last job.
Trains have waypoints to handle idle trains, now we can use waypoints for TRUCKS -

RollingStenDevs have a lot to do, and this may be somewhat wanted, but definitelly down on priority list. Most players are OK with this, as it means less waste of fuel. If you want trucks ready, assign them to storage and they will return back to it to await another batch.

BlitzKartonI've suggested something like that before, too.

But hey, maybe the developers will do something about it if enough users suggest it.
