Editing Haulin' is accually pretty easy when you know how. Compared to PTTM, if you make an misstake with modding in haulin' you can easily back but in PTTM you had to locate the problem and then try to fix it.
The editing in Haulin' bases on .scs files wich is easy to make with WinRar. Let's say you want to edit a cargo, first, find the Cargo file you want to edit. You'll find it in def/economy/cargo, but to access them you'll need to extract the base.scs file. A good thing is to extract it to mydocuments/18WoSHaulin' so you'll locate them easily. The Base.scs can be found in c:/Programs/18WheelsOfSteel:Haulin'/, open it with winRar, if you cannot start your game after you can easily reinstall it and you're done. No saved games will be lost when reinstalling.
When you got the Cargo file, edit what you want to edit, make a folder on your desktop named def and in that folder make a folder named economy, and in the economy create a folder named cargo and put the cargo.sii file in there. Now you'll need to make this into a .scs file. You'll do this by Choosing Zip and compression method "Store" then just name the file into like "MyCargo.scs" and save and just lob it into your mod folder.
I hope this explains it. If not, check out 3dartpols Standalone truck installation movie, it's done in the same way.
If you encounter any difficulties in this process, post it here.
