For buildings of the same name in other Tropico games, see Teamster's Office.
Teamster's Offices are Traffic & Infrastructure buildings in Tropico 6. They handle logistics on one island, transporting goods between buildings that require them. All maps start with a single Teamster's Office, and its impossible to have less than one.
Teamster's Office is a wooden warehouse with blue roof that occupies 2x3 cell grid. Road access is available on one of the narrow side, allowing Teamsters to ride vehicle to their destination.
On base (100%) efficiency in the Colonial Era, a single teamster has the capacity to transport 500 goods, with every extra percentage of efficiency increasing capacity by 5. This scales with the era, so in Modern Times, a teamster on base efficiency can transport 1,200 goods, with each extra point of efficiency adding 12.
Set Emergency Job is a unique action for Teamster's Office. Each Teamster's Office can be given one command that enforce the transportation of goods from one building to another eligible building until the job is canceled.
To set an Emergency Job, press the button that can found at the bottom of a Teamster's Office info panel, above the demolish button. All buildings with resources will be shown in blue, select the building the mark it as start building. The second set of buildings, the destination building, consists only of the ones that can accept the resource from the building that has been marked as start, will be shown in blue. Specific resource can also be selected if there are multiple types of resource in one building. Once start and destination has been marked, a green line will link both buildings together. It is Important to press Confirm Selection at the bottom of the info panel to complete the process, else the command will not be given. To remove Emergency Job, press the Set Emergency Job button then press the x above the order. Again, Confirm Selection must be pressed to complete the process.
