What I am doing is running a deficit of up to $20-40K/hour depending on pop but making it back in exports. I import oil and have 2 refineries for plastic 2 processor factories and 2 TV factories. I can export both TV and processors all the time but normally alternate with plastic between export and use locally. I will easily make several million an hour in real time not game time. The only problem can be when there is massive traffic jams I can have issues with oil deliveries and that can cause plastic shortages at the factories. Also the delivery trucks can take a while to get back with the cash from the exports but if you lose money it is very slow and often short lived.

I think I may of figured out why the delivery trucks turn around. I think it has to do with no freight for them to pick up and export due to it already being taken by another truck. I noticed this is what the cargo ships did they never docked if there were no supplies at the trade port but I still wonder what happens with the money that they don't drop off.

Thanks for the help! It seems to of settled down for now and if it pick up I might need to take more drastic actions. Now if they had one way streets in the game managing the inflow of traffic would be a lot simpler.

I am having an issue where I have gearing my city up to export processors and TV's so I have many trucks taking the goods out of my city. The problem is that once they get through my traffic built up and the highway off ramp they immediately U turn out of my city and go back onto the highway taking the cash for the export with them. Is the problem the traffic even though they have gotten into my city already or is it that they don't want you to make all the money that I feel I am missing out on ( they do seem to come back and join the queue to get back into the city), or is it just a traffic glitch? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
