Helicopters are also chosen to increase the safety of the run as robberies can be very common on cocaine truck runs. Most do cocaine runs in helicopters to speed it up but trucks can earn you a serious amount of money but will take a lot longer. One thing to note, Cocaine is slightly longer but pays better.

These can be sold at the gold scrap dealer for a very hefty amount, the price may vary though from server to server. Gold scrap is found in shipwrecks which respawn every server restart. Shipwrecks are extremely profitable, raking in 7-8 million pounds if lucky. They both result in the same amount of money at the end of the run, sugar is just a tiny bit longer. If concerned about this i would highly reccomend sugar runs as a safer alternative. A side note would be to consider robberies which are known to happen often with copper.
Not much money is needed to fund this money enterprise as all thats needed is a truck, a pickaxe and copper license which can all be bought for under 100,000 pounds which is what most servers have as their starting money. It is extremely quick and simple with just one route to follow. Copper is by far one of the best legal money making methods.
