Strength
Strength is a fundamental skill that allows you to carry more items at a given time. Specific jobs rely heavily on your Strength level. Per level, you unlock an extra 10KG of weight.
It is currently the only skill that is capped at level 30, meaning your max base inventory capacity is 300KG. This expands to 345KG with Premium, and can be doubled with the Strength Perk. Using Trailers and Trunks you can go far beyond this limit. Trailers are essential for Trucking routes.
