How to Start Your Own Caravan Company in Fallout 76
Once the Fallout 76: Milepost Zero update is live, go near the Stony Man Lookout location in Skyline Valley to receive the Caravan Company starting quest “A Bump in the Road” (requires level 20). The quest will lead you to the new Milepost Zero location (instanced) in the south of Skyline Valley.
During the quest, you’ll meet Marley at Milepost Zero and need to pay 500 Caps. Then you can start your first Caravan. Complete the event “[Your character’s name]’s Caravan: Skyline Drive” by escorting the Pack Brahmin to the drop-off point.
As a reward, you’ll get 100 Supplies. Supplies are a new currency introduced with the Milepost Zero update. Use the Supplies to hire your first Caravan Employee. A good choice is Brahmin Tamer Josie since her hiring costs 100 Supplies. This will upgrade Marley and you’ll be able to get higher tier Caravan missions.
