Hey Jeff! Just some terms/info that we use not nit picking just giving some info: The "Tri-axel" is commonly, at least on the west coast is just called a drop axle or a drop. The part that goes from the 5th wheel to the trailer is called the jeep. The very back of the trailer is called a booster rather than a dolly. A dolly is a removable 5th wheel set up that connects two smaller trailers together, like if you were pulling doubles or triples. all of the extra axles and length help span the weight over a greater distance. EDIT: Source I drive dump truck, Side dump Occasionally lowboy.

the pilot car match your speed....if u go 40 they will go forty

I'm always ready to eat when you say somethings about food

Boy, does this bring back some memories! I was a heavy hauler for 20 years, and loved it. Even with the same load the next day would bring new challenges. Most eastern states wouldn't let you travel on interstate highways. I noticed you don't have a pole car behind the police escort on some of those high loads. That would be scary. My vehicle was a KW 900 with a 21 speed tranny and a Cat engine. I believe at the time it was a 425 horsepower engine. I could also adjust the pressure on the lift axle, even while I was moving. .

Dude, you drove right into my hometown in ATS. Passed the shop too. Working on a custom 389 cow hauler right now. Fantastic trucking come on!

About the bridge transport, I was coming home from a hockey game Friday night and some trucks pulling bridge parts had police escorts. Annoying but also cool to see.

hey jeff some other videos ive watched the front pilot vehicle matches your speed untill you go over the speed limit then you catch up with it

The “off-brand” news trucks are hilarious! CNB and FNOX were covering that run.

My 2 year old son loves watching your truck simulator videos he loves tractors trucks and semis

I'm loving the special transport jobs. I ended up doing the same route you did in the last video. The escort vehicle did indeed stop like in your video. I remembered what you said in this one, and when I checked the outside view, there was a car and truck in front of the rear escort vehicle. Once they went by, the lead escort vehicle changed lanes and continued on. It seems to be working as intended. I did get stuck in traffic at the light in Sierra Vista. One car refused to move through the light, so I had to save and reload. It wasn't going to move otherwise. Hope they can get that cleared up.

Jeff, I heard somewhere they were working on Oregon and Special Transport at the same time, they didn't want to put it in Oregon b4 before Oregon was even done.

'American Truck Redemption' (ST-DLC, redeemed!): you might actually get 'red eye' on this one - ha and, '3rd Axle Blind', there's your new band name - All the red/blue lights, seems like familiar territory too and, hopefully last yet, not least - It does astound me how IRL drivers and AI seem to 'think' alike! Cheers - (I can't be helped) 😎 ☀️

You're actually teaching people to drive Tractor Trailers keep it up! And way to go!

hey jeff you don't need to stop to lift axel down the proper name is called a tag axel so you can drive and just set it down same with picking it up just thought you would likw to know and congrats buddy

Jeff, if you speed up, the squad car will too, up to 40 mph.

Nice looking rig Jeff!

Love this DLC please do more videos.

Makes me want to jump back into ATC. Thanks for all the fantastic entertainment Jeff!

"We should be pretty good here..." *Turns around* "OH GOD" Comedy Gold.

Lovee yoouuurrrr videos

Great vid Jeff and there's going to be another trucking game called Truck Driver and it's coming out sometime next year and it's going to be on PC, XBOX ONE and PS4 and it's the same developers that made Pure Farming can't wait until Truck Driver comes out

jeff the max oversize/ over weight permitted is 55 mph. it aslo depends on the state.

you should get GTM's emergency lights mod so the CHP lights look legit

Raise your third axle making turns then put it back on the ground, this can be done while rolling also. If you’re not loaded no need to put it on the ground.

Gidday Jeff, you got an easy drop off today. The two I did last night were absolute shockers, both requiring multiple repositions to get it in the slot.

I have updated all versions last week.oregon and New Mexico.i use metric no imperial.nice game

"88 miles an hour, Marty!!!" Yeah, certainly not in this scene.

that CB is a dead ringer for my sideband radio i had.

When you mention about section of bridges in Orlando, they are likely bringing them to the Tampa area for some sections of I-75 they are working on.

My stepdad owns and operates his own pilot trucking company and he rarely if ever has police running with his drivers. And alot of his runs are with Sin-crude. and my dad is a trucker and its just not common.

It'd be interesting to see SCS or a mod offer a rocket's first-stage as a cargo option, unless they already do (I don't own/play the game, I just love watching these ATS vids).

Yeah its durastress out of lake county. They run all of there stuff at night with like 20 fhp escorts. Its really cool to watch. They have the lock down on florida when it comes to pre cast bridge beams.

Do more please

What would be cool for the silo is if the devs had you take a dirt road to get to the destination.

Battlefield V is great Jeff. I was kinda on the fence about it as well but after playing some of the SP campaign & trying out the MP, I love it!

Love that haul that’s awesome and the rig pulling sounds amazing 🤩

Glad to see you back I was one did not leave but don,t watch Farm Sim much

Very nice truck. It looks like a good heavy haul or logging truck. It needs a headache rack though. They should make this for consoles

I liked the police lights at nighttime

jeff please make a video on how u install your mods I don't trust anyone else

I am just getting into oversize load pilot and technically with that size of a load would have to have a high pole escort. Meaning the front car would have to have a pole attached to the front set no less than 6 inches higher than the load to make sure that no overhead obstacles would cause damage to the load and vise-versa. Just found your videos and hope to be getting the game soon!

The entrance to Interstate 99 looks like the one in GTA.

I live in Orlando, well Apopka actualy and ive seen those bridge transports on several ocasions. Pretty cool to see. At fist I thought they were transporting nuclear missles lol awesome video btw this game is addictive

The truck is missing the front OVERSIZE sign..! Another thing.. Oversize loads aren't legal on the road after sunset.

I know all the different simulator games, but I haven't heard of this one. I have a friend that this would be a good gift for.

There is special transport loads in Portland, OR and Ontario, OR in ATS.

Its cool to see that the AI hug the yellow line when they pass you on the interstate.

you can also stay well in the lane, without crossing the solid white, if you notice the traffic coming to pass actually moves well to the left to pass you in a wide load like this. Myself, I don't know if it's a bug or not, but any of the special transports I've done haven't gotten escorts. but I suppose I haven't taken the bigger ones yet. I just for the life of me cant back these up to park correctly. since you cant steer that rear dolly independently.

Cool video dude

In my town there was a 20 vehicle convoy for a huge rocket

Congrats Jeff!!!🎉🎊🤵👰

Hey Jeff. I'm a new subscriber... I love your videos man! Keep up the good work!

I’m a Truck driver heavy haul flatbed this is badass

Always make enough room more than u need to make sure

You can still get a brand new Delorian.

I’m yet to purchase any dlc for ATS but they look great! Did you notice any performance difference once you installed them? My gpu is pretty maxed running stock ATS on high settings

Good thing is u dont have to stop at stop signs or anything. If they have everything set up for u like they’re supposed too.

Hey Jeff! I didn't know you live in Orlando! I work at a music store in town and I love watching all your truck and bus videos!!

Love this game and the special transport jobs.

HELL YES I’m ready for BATTLEFIELD V

Yes great vid 👍

The police escort redeemed themselves by sending border patrol to escort an oversize load truck, seems legit

Jeff, the lead pilot car AI will match your speed... the whole time you were tooling along at 20mph was for no reason, lol.

The body of the Nissan 350z also has an aluminium/aluminum body and it still got painted. Also, the pilot car adapts its speed to yours, so you can go up to 40mph if you wanted to. The pilot car will never go above 40mph though so you can't go any faster than that.

Sup jeff

I did a special transport out of Phoenix and the game basically made me do an immediate U turn to get out of the company and on to the road and they put a cop car right in the way. It was literally impossible to get out without hitting it despite restarting a few times. lol the spawn points of some of these missions are ridiculous.

The opening is worst than Britain (THE DARN RAIN!)

What you saw in Orlando the bridge peices I work for that company it's called durastress

Is there a special program you have to add on to the American Truck Simulator to get the escort from the Police ? I have the Special Transport and Heavy Load on it all ready ?

The pilot car will go as fast as you go just fyi

Throwback to ice road truckers

the way you talk how you talk and the things you makes your video not to be boring keep it up

That Peterbilt you drive is a Rusty Nail's truck from Joyride 3. Also the CB radio in your rig remindes me of the cherokee nightrider radio used in first movie in the student's car. You know what i mean if you watched the movie.

Bro I'm not gonna lied but I miss u

love the escort vehicles and the light bar on the truck

Your good at swing that big trailar

Typely over size load take place at night because there isnt alot of people on the roads and they can get people to raise power wires and everything else without dangering peoples lifes. And it depends on the load also because it might be oversize but doesnt need a ton of attention.

Looks like a fantastic game but I can see why you need to talk about random conversation's.. or it would just be boring for the viewers. But love the vids dude wish it would come to console... the engine brake is so sexy lol

That truck peterbilt are some awsome trucks but next time try it with an international

Bro your a god at the corners am a subscriber

It would be x10 more legit if after you got on the highway from the lot, that CHP vic got behind with a traffic break.

Some third axles as you call it or the "pusher axle" turn so you don't have to lift them up. When you buy a tractor a self steering pusher axle is an expensive option but is good for heavy haul. //// On some roads when I hug the right side I get a few % trailer damage due to the mile markers or whatever they are sticking up. I also notice Oregon has spots where the truck stops for a while like it's loading or something, but must be a glitch in the program because it does not happen in other states. I'd love to try out some mod's but I don't know how to up grade them when SCS up grades their end. Right now I've been happy driving a 389 Peterbilt with the 18 speed non retarder. If you are tight on money I found owning your own trailers is only fair and you can also not get the Oregon stripe kit either. When you own your own trailer such as a refer than your variety is not as much. For example if you use SCS's trailers, then you can go to different clients, where one may be a store, the next one a quarry, I found using SCS's trailers more fun. Of course if money is not much of an object then owning everything is good. I have all the states and the first heavy haul package to come out was like 3 bucks. I'm contemplating on buying these really big trailers with really big loads they are coming out with like you saw here tonight. Thumbs up on the narration, nice driving, good video.

Are there any games similar to this for Xbox 1 ? Wish this game was on console!

I thought they raised the speed limit in Cali. As Sammy Hagar once said, " I can't drive 55!!!!!!"

Cool looking video. If my RC trucks & construction equipment didn't take up my spare time, I'd have to try this simulator out. It looks like FUN!

Hey Jeff you should check out sirblackyalot's special transport accessory pack on the workshop along with BigT's strobe pack

The only thing I can say I wish the police lights were a little brighter

Love the video but I like the truck to see which gear you in 🤟🏼🔥

there is a mod to go faster during special transports probably can find it in the steam workshop

Awesome stuff man, wish the lights where that reflective on GTA v, if they are supposed to be, they are not on my game

The Deck of that Trailer is 50 ft., to give you an Idea of that dimesions.

Jeff love your vids keep up the good work

You can lower your lift axle without stopping

Very well done video! I have yet to try this update yet but it looks amazing man keep up the good work!!

you using aphysics mod i noticed the cops don't have thies lights on for me

Happened by my apartment once where police were escorted a truck carrying a double wide trailer

God I love that colour scheme. Wow

Time for some more TruckersMP?

I like this it looks kool!

The silo looks like a HUGE Pepsi can
