This job is a great way to get [[XP]] since it pays well, especially if you use a [[Vehicles\|car]]. It requires using no ammo (except for [[SEC\|fuel for your car]], and earns you some [[Caps]] along the way.

	~~'''NOTE''': For optimal efficiency, it~~'s ~~best to use one of the [[Vehicles]] and have a [[Tent\|safe parking place]] at each of~~ the ~~delivery points, as well as [[Hub]]. Bring some [[Tool]]s and some [[SEC]]~~ to ~~keep your car going~~.		==Hints and tips==
			Like most things this quest can be made slightly less painful and actually extremely viable. But there's also the dialog placement to watch out for.

	'~~''NOTE''': A "~~[[~~Water Barrel~~]]~~" item might appear as~~ a [[~~Box~~\|~~Caravan Box~~]] ~~when dropped on~~ the ~~ground~~, ~~and might not appear in your~~ [[~~Inventory~~]] ~~correctly at all, or as an invisible item~~. ~~If invisible, they are still there~~ and ~~can still be delivered - you just need~~ to ~~run the game's updater so~~ your ~~client can obtain the proper image file~~.		===Efficiency===
