General
In this guide we will deliver coal from a coal mine to a coal power plant.
Loading stations
Build loading stations by the coal mine and the coal power plant. Make sure that the industries are in the range of the loading station.
Street
Connect the loading stations with a street. Make sure the street is properly connected.
Depot
Build a depot at the street. The depot is used to buy, upgrade and maintain vehicles.
Vehicles
Click on the depot to open the depot window. Select the tractor unit and buy it.

Switch to the depot tab and select the tractor unit that is waiting in the depot. Then click the 'Add trailer'-button.

Choose the coal trailer from the list and buy it. Click the 'Done'-button to return to your truck.

Open the timetable window by clicking the 'Adjust timetable'-button.

Click on the 'Add stop'-button. now you can choose the two loading stations to add them to the vehicle timetable.

Copy the vehicle several times and start all trucks by clicking the 'Start all'-button.

The trucks will now start to leave the depot and travel to the loading stations. Once a truck stopped at the loading station near the coal mine, the coal mine will detect that there is a vehicle stopping at the station that can carry the good that is been produced and start to deliver coal to the station.
Profit
Once everything is set up your transportation route will start to generate money.

While playing you will unlock new vehicles and by researching vehicle upgrades you can improve and optimise your routes.

At the moment there is no manager for it.

Is there a way to automatically increase the number of trailers once I've researched truck towing improvements? I've checked all managers (updates, maintenance etc), but it looks like I need to get each vehicle to the depot manually to actually attach an extra trailer.
