1) Disciplinary Policy
1.1) “2 Strikes” Policy: This rule means that if you get a second strike within 1 year, you will be permanently removed from Global Cargo. This applies to all violations within Discord and external environments such as TMP and anonymous reports. If there is more than a year in between strikes, the older strike might be revoked if it falls into another category (i.e. Reckless driving, fraud or other misbehaviour). Be aware that in case of a serious violation, the first strike can be skipped and the contract can be immediately terminated based on the seriousness of the incident. Strike 1 - A written warning from Human Resources. Strike 2 - Permanent removal and blacklist from Global Cargo and all global divisions. * A verbal warning can also be given for minor offenses. * ```
2) Company Policy
2.1) As is the case with most other VTC's, it is not allowed to be part of more than one VTC at the same time. When you are caught 'double VTCing' (taking a seat or entering loads for multiple VTC's at the same time), an investigation will be started, the outcome of which is determined by a vote of the HR Management.
2.2) The Communication Pyramid: Because Global Cargo is a large VTC, Management is often very busy. When a driver has a problem or a question, they are often unable to answer. So if you need help, follow the steps below:
General questions procedure:
1. Get help in #Help-and-Questions.
2. Ask a staff member (#request-a-staff-member) *.
3. Ask the department director *.
4. Ask one of the Leaders.
* (of the corresponding department)
Complaints:
1. Anonymous reporting form (https://www.globalcargovtc.com/contact/anonymous-report/)
2. Member of Human Resources.
3. Director of Human Resources.
4. Leaders.
3) Admission Policy
3.1) The age limit is 15 years. If it appears that you do not comply with this, removal will follow.
3.2) When you leave Global Cargo, there is a period of two weeks during which you cannot apply back. After that period you are welcome to apply again.
3.3) The admissions department reserves the right to decline membership at any time.
3.4) VTC hopping, or quickly switching between several VTC's and Global Cargo is not allowed. If you are caught VTC hopping, you will be instantly removed from Global Cargo.
3.5) Shared accounts are not allowed under any circumstances. Each driver is responsible for his/her own account and any violation will be recovered from that account regardless of the person.
3.6) Each driver may apply successfully for a maximum of three times at Global Cargo. When you leave Global Cargo after applying three times, GC reserves the right to reject the application.
3.7) When you received an active ban within a period of three months before your application, the admissions team reserves the right to decline the application based on this fact. You will be able to apply again after the ban has been removed for three months.
4) Discord / TrucksWeb Policy
4.1) No Inappropriate Content (Pornography, Hateful or Racist Messages and/or Similar Offensive Material) in messages, about me page, status or any other place. Global Cargo is a community with the minimum age of 15 years and we maintain our text and voice channels according to the PG-13 standard. Posting inappropriate messages, profile pictures and/or public username may result in strike 1 or 2.
4.2) Pay attention to your language - We know that a large part of our community is 18+, but we want to show a professional attitude and take other members into account.
4.3) No offensive or derogatory remarks. While a joke is allowed, there is always "a limit". Make sure you don't go over this with your comments.
4.4) If you have an argument with another driver or staff member, follow the correct way of reporting, namely: send a message to a member of human resources. The correct way of communicating can be found in section 2.2).
4.5) Our developers have developed a number of bots to make your time at VTC more pleasant. We ask that you keep the execution of the commands to a minimum and only place it in the appropriate channels.
4.6) Placing any type of advertisement is prohibited if it meets the following criteria: another VTC or Event, for financial gain, or contains 18+ content.
4.6a) A small advertisement for a livestream or privately owned radio station (that complies with the before mentioned criteria) may be posted with permission from HR.
4.6b) Sending advertisements in DM's or group chats to members of this Discord without explicit request, is not allowed and will result in a punishment.
4.7) To avoid tagging problems, it is forbidden to use special characters in your discord name. HR reserves the right to modify the name with alphanumeric characters.
4.8) Use the correct channels for the correct purposes. Here is a list of the most popular channels and their topics: General - General communication about ETS2/ATS/Global Cargo; Off Topic - Unrelated talks that are not about ETS2/ATS/Global Cargo. Mods - A chat to talk about (Global Cargo related) mods. Check the pinned messages before asking a question about mods or skins. Help and Questions - In case you need help or have a question, feel free to ask. There is always a staff member or other driver available for you.
4.9) Misuse of the spoiler functionality is not tolerated and may result in a warning or further punishment.

4.11) In the case HR needs explanation about a situation, you might be invited for a conversation in an HR-Ticket text channel. When invited for a conversation, this does not always imply that there will be taken action against you. Most of the time it is just to clear something up. If you do not respond within 24 hours, you risk that you will not be able to defend yourself in a case.
4.12) Global Cargo is not a dating platform. Do not actively ask someone about private matters, for example in DM's. Although the purpose of the discord is to have a conversation with each other, it is not the intention that anyone feels uncomfortable. Members failing to respect personal privacy will be investigated by Human Resources, and might face consequences.
5) Media Policy

6) Multiplayer Policy
6.1) Global Cargo Drivers MUST FOLLOW ALL TMP RULES.
6.2) Global Cargo is seen as one of, if not the most professional and respected VTC within the TMP community. We therefore expect a professional attitude from our staff and drivers. When you drive in-game, we expect you to work with all your care and attention (as you do in real life). In this way, others see what Global Cargo means and they want to get involved.
6.3) It is NOT allowed to drive a car while wearing the Global Cargo name (both tag and name) in TMP, alternating vehicles are included under this rule.
6.4) It is not allowed to drive with large groups through busy areas, such as the Calais-Duisburg route (five or more drivers).

6.9) After a TMP ban, it is possible that the HR department will question your ability to drive for Global Cargo. Your membership as a driver of Global Cargo can be revoked on the basis of a ban.
6.10) Usage of double and triple trailers is allowed in accordance with the TMP rules, but you will be held accountable for any mishaps caused by incompetence of controlling the vehicle combination.
7) Freight Rules
7.1) We have a zero-tolerance policy on mods that change the game's economy. If you are caught misusing these mods, your membership with Global Cargo will be permanently terminated.
7.2) Global Cargo assumes that you are honest when completing jobs and we expect to be able to observe this in your cargo log.
7.3) Any attempt to fraud with cargo via economy mods, fast travel or any other means will be severely penalized.
7.4) The maximum income for a manually logged job is €/$ 400,000 or 8000km. This means that the expected income of the job may not exceed this limit. Additional bonuses such as sponsored freights do not affect this. There is no max for Tracker Logged jobs.
7.5) The maximum income per kilometer/mile is €/$ 200,-. When the total income divided by the distance travelled is higher, the job cannot be submitted.
7.6) Manual jobs with an income of more than $/€ 200,000 or 4000km must be approved by Human Resources. The limits for Tracker Jobs are $/€ 300,000 or 6000km. When you drive an affected job, Human Resources will be notified and your job is blocked until it is approved by HR. Make sure to submit at least two screenshots: 1) The home screen, Freight Center or Load Market, with the relevant freight. 2) The delivery screen, with income, driven distance and damage percentage.

7.9) The use of ProMods and other map mods is fully permitted, but do not abuse the functionalities offered.
7.10) The use of dispatchers such as the TMP Dispatcher, Trucky and Virtual Speditor is allowed, but not to abuse the cargo system. Remember to always check your job to see if it is in compliance with the rules. It is not allowed to use these programs to abuse Missions. Human Resources will start an investigation and come with a suitable verdict.
7.11) When entering the number of kilometers driven, only the kilometers driven on land apply. It is not allowed to abuse the boat or train. A rule of thumb is that you have driven at least 75% of the expected mileage to submit a load. (Example, without usage of the ferry the route is 1000 km, with use of the ferry, this is only 400 km. This route is not valid.)
7.12) If you have any doubts about the legitimacy of a job, please contact Human Resources (anonymously) according to 2.2).
7.13) Drivers are required to complete at a minimum, one job OR attend one convoy every 3 months. Drivers who are inactive for a period longer than three months (without a valid reason) will see their memberships terminated.
* Note on the regulations regarding submition of jobs: If there are doubts about the legitimacy, you must confirm this with screenshots as proof. It is the responsibility of every driver to check whether they comply with the established rules.
