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 inventory capacity is 300KG (345KG with Premium). Using trailers and trunks you can go far beyond this limit. Trailers are also essential for advanced trucking routes.
