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.

Drop, tag or lift axle. We hear it any way here in MT. I only have my class b so haven’t driven anything heavy, but used to drive a tandem axle tank wagon (bulk fuel delivery truck) with a tag axle. Now I drive a desk and tell the guys driving those trucks where to go!

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. .

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.

Just found your videos and hope to be getting the game soon!

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.

As long as he doesn't exceed 40mph. That's the max. speed you can go without ramming into the back of the police car. Unless you're in a town where the speed limit is lower, like 35mph or 25mph. But the actual speed limit is always shown on the GPS screen.

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.

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.

When SCS updates their game, the mod authors will update their mods at some point to work with the game, assuming something in the update messed with their mods causing them not to work properly. But once you install it and they update the mod, it will install itself automatically. Steam workshop for the beginners and internet download for a slightly more advanced experience installing them, though not to bad.

@@SteelyPaw it might take them awhile to update though, if it's a popular one it tends to be within the week of the SCS patch being released, others can be a few weeks to months or never if the mod creator ends up not caring enough. Steams Workshop has a release notes section on each mods page and than will say when it was last updated. Also, if you want to change the look of the game, installing something as simple as Reshade can enhance the single player experience. Idk how well it works with multiplayer because I know some developers will ban for using something simple, but if you know how to remove the files and stuff it can be a quick process. Once again, if you wanted to. Reshade is not a requirement or anything. Good luck with the mods.
