The popular truck driver simulation game, Euro Truck Simulator 2, offers a wide range of trucking jobs for players to have fun with. Some involve a heavy load, while others challenge your endurance for long-distance shipping. But it’s not always smooth sailing.
Sometimes you might feel tired and has no appetite to continue the job. Or you might find another job with more delightful pay. Either way, the game lets you cancel the current job without manually towing the cargo back to the company’s origin.
This article will show you two ways to cancel a job in ETS2.
Note: The cancelation fee will cost you EUR 12.000 in-game currency. While it may not sound much for high-level players, this penalty can be detrimental for new players.

How to cancel a job in ETS2

2. Now, click the job name on the upper left corner of the screen.
3. Click the Abandon button.
4. To confirm the action, hit Yes.

Interesting facts
Here are some trivia that may be helpful regarding this topic.
1. Whether you are just started delivering or are just a few meters away from completion, the cancelation fee remains the same.
2. However, the cost was EUR 10.000 in the past. So, don’t be surprised if the newer versions inflate the figure.
3. The cancelation will cost an hour of in-game time which reduces the driver time on that day.
Anyway, if you are just getting started, I encouraged you to remove the 90km/h limit that the game imposes so you can finish the job faster and get paid to expand your trucking business.
