As a cargo airline. You need and only need to operate at routes than has more than 400 combined cargo ratings and i advise you to begin playing at the mid 1960's as you'll get more cash to start with because cargo planes are expensive and not spammable.
After starting, try to find the most profitable monopoly routes you can ever find always stay out at competition cargo routes unless if it goes to a major city to another major city. But, this is not to be worried about as most decent routes are not occupied by another airline becuase of unpopularity among choices.
Unless somehow there are a lot of airlines doing cargo on your server. I personally used 727s and I am now replacing them in the early 90s with 737s and 757s
Just did what you said but routes were bad like this, even monopoly ones
The 707 is too big. You should get the 727 cargo once it releases
Is your ticket price too high? Try to reset it to 1.00 magnitude
In my experience.... don't use B707F, in 60s and 70s buy B727-100QF, B727-200F, DC-9-32F and Boeing 737-200F.
In 80s replace B727-100QF for B737-300F and B727-200F for B757-200F
Use DC-10-30F for Large routes and Low Spaces. After replace that plane to MD-11F and if the range is too far for md11f, use b747-400F in Low Spaces, like 2 or 3.
Replace B737-300F for B737-700F and B757-200F replace to B757-300F. But you can replace B757-200F for A310-300F. And Dc-10-30F for a310-300F Too.
NEVER USE A380F or An-225.
USE SMALLEST PLANES THAN PASSENGER PLANES IN ROUTES. If you use a B707-300 in a passenger route for example, use B727-100/-200 for cargo in the same route.
You can also experiment with lowering schedules per week and adjusting price. The reason for it is lowering flight expenses by reducing flights and at the same time increasing occupancy.
