Hey guys..
I am asking a lot of questions here!
But it is hard to get to talk to anyone ingame.. Even /ask and /irc..
I am all new to this game and struggle hard to figure out how to play

Some questions pop up from time to time.. I hope it is not causing any trouble..
1) Sometimes when I do truckmissions I pull over to refuel. I turn off the engine and steps out of the car.. And then it often disappears, leaving me in the middle of nowhere.. Why?
2) As a carjacker.. Where do I obtain the toolkit? The 24/7 doesn't have them on stock..
3) When I call someone on the phone, or recieve a phone call.. How do I chat with the dude then?

1. It's ddissapearing probably cause admins are respawning unoccupied vehicles, you have 20 sec to get in the truck so it won't be respawned.
2.You suppose to buy the toolkit in a hardware store ( there is hardware store at the new bie spawn near the 24/7)
3.Well to talk to the man you just regularly talking and then you can see [your name]

phone) [message].
Hope I helped .

If you recive a phonecall then /answer. And then you will automaticly talk there. Do /hangup to finish the talk. Also add [Answered] if you have got the help you need

1)Sometimes admins are Respawning all Unoccuppied Vehicle so you have 20 sec to get in your car, else it'll be Respawned.
2)to Buy a toolkit you have to enter Hardware shop not 24/7
3)if you don't know how to answer phone use /answer to answer. after that you don't need to use any cmd because when you type something it says : Your name

Phone) Hey. when you finish just use cmd /hangup to hang up

Hello!
Feel free to ask as much as you want, that is why we got this section

If we do not answer you over /ask or /irc it is because we are very busy, just repeat your question after a while and we will most likely spot it as long as we are online, use /admins to see online admins and helpers (but do not spam your question, have some patient before you repeat it). I will now answer your questions.
1. That is some kind of a bug. The trucks are automaticly respawned when nobody is using it because it used to be a mess. Earlier players just left the trucks everywhere and it made the city look messed up. At 24/7 stores you can buy ¨Petrol Canister¨ i recommend that you buy one before you start trucking and just type /refuel when you need fuel (please note that you can only use it once, then you have to buy a new one) it is also possible to call a mechanic. If any mechanics are on duty they will probably help you out.
2. Toolkits can be bought at Hardware stores. There is no command to find a Hardware store but we got plently of them in Los Santos. Just search around or try to ask people at the street.
3. When you call or answer someone you just speak in the regular chat. The only command you have to use is /c or /answer and then you can talk like you would done to a guy on the street. Just press T and start talking.
I hope this helped you out. I leave this open for a small amount of time so you can just post a reply if you got more questions.

The gas stations are not bugged, the Job cars respawn is, like Bill stated above ^ you propably need to buy a Petrol Canister from a 24/7 before starting your trucking run.

If you're performing a truck delivery, it shall reset your marker and you'll have to start the mission again, not to mention the fact that the trucker owned vehicles getting respawned in a short interval of time if left un-occupied (You may ignore that reason if you're driving a player/faction owned stolen truck or your owned truck.)
