Quick answer
ETS2 markers are trigger zones for pickup, delivery, fuel, service, rest, and parking actions. If a prompt does not appear, stop fully inside the correct marker, straighten the truck or trailer, and move slowly within the zone. Many marker problems are alignment issues, not broken jobs.
ETS2 uses markers to tell the game where a job action happens. If you stop near the right place but not inside the trigger, the prompt may not appear.
Common Marker Types
| Marker | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Pickup | Starts trailer pickup or cargo loading |
| Delivery | Starts drop-off and parking choice |
| Fuel | Refuels the truck |
| Service | Repairs and upgrades |
| Rest | Lets the driver sleep |
| Garage | Garage management or parking |
If A Prompt Does Not Appear
- Stop fully.
- Move deeper into the marker.
- Straighten the trailer.
- Check whether you are at pickup or delivery.
- Turn off the engine if prompted.
- Recheck the route advisor.
Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Fix |
|---|---|
| Stopping outside the zone | Move slowly into the marker |
| Arriving at the wrong company gate | Follow the final GPS line |
| Crooked trailer | Pull forward and straighten |
| Confusing rest and fuel markers | Check the icon |
