Good Afternoon - are there any plans to update this for 1.55 as it changes the speed limits for ai vehicles and how if calculates the trip times when looking at contracts

Should be fixed now. Made a typo when entering the weight limit for it.

the triple 32ft gas trailer doesnt get loaded with the right amount of cargo. it cant carry more than 5000lbs.

ya pude gracias
purpleicecream  [author] 11 Oct, 2024 @ 7:42pm 
It only works for owned trailers. If you go into the configurator (either in the trailer store or configuring a trailer you already own) the options should be there, assuming you downloaded and activated the mod.
juliancamilop533 11 Oct, 2024 @ 7:06pm 
como se activa eso gente?

Awesome mod. I'd love for the gas tankers to be added too tho
Galakaston 9 Aug, 2024 @ 11:13am 
great mod, it would be nice if it was available for the gas tanks too :steamthumbsup:
purpleicecream  [author] 17 Jun, 2024 @ 4:27am 
Everything seems fine with my mod. Only thing I can think of is you're hauling something that hits the cargo volume limit before the cargo weight limit (like cardboard or something).

Thanks a lot. BTW, could you please take a look at your Box/Insulated/Reefer B-Double (7 axle)? The maximum load listed in Cargo Market is almost 105k pounds. But when I get to the scales, cross weight is just about 110k pounds. The truck (VNL 860) itself is 20k pounds! It does feel much lighter than the listed 105k pounds when driving.
purpleicecream  [author] 8 Jun, 2024 @ 1:31pm 
I can take a look, but it depends on what stock trailers are available. I don't know how to make my own trailer models, I just extended the stock ones.
happybo 5 Jun, 2024 @ 9:18am 
By 8-axle B-doubles, I mean one 4 axle (28-30ft?) lead (front) and one 4 axle 53ft pup (rear). I believe this is the maximum safest option since I can back it into most depots for loading and unloading, and of course without worrying about clipping. The 53ft + 53ft big B mod is great for super heavy hauling but limited in terms of depots. :)
happybo 5 Jun, 2024 @ 9:09am 
could you please add the gas tank to your collection. Its cargos are the most profitable in the game. The default B can only carry about 50k lbs. of liquid gas. I would greatly appreciate if you can make 8-axle B-doubles with 53ft pup for all of the above trailer types plus the gas tank, except the low boy of course. If possible, please add the steerable rear axle option to the fuel tank's 53ft pup. Thanks! :)

Haha no worries, I'm glad you updated them! I have too much fun with my fictional versions of "americanized" australian outback road trains
purpleicecream  [author] 25 May, 2024 @ 5:23pm 
Should be good now. Sorry, haven't been actively playing ATS for a while and kinda forgot I made these mods.
Tug RubNuts 16 May, 2024 @ 5:10pm 
Any chance you'll update this for the weights to work properly with the nebraska DLC? Still works in all the other states, but then when I go to nebraska my road train is loaded down with steel that weighs.....only 13,000 pounds, lol.
purpleicecream  [author] 23 Dec, 2023 @ 9:52am 
I haven't done much work on this mod in a while, been too busy. Also, I'm not able to modify the actual trailer models, I don't know how to do that. So unless there's already a 28 foot trailer with a tag axle in the game that's definitely not happening.
popo 22 Dec, 2023 @ 2:03am 
bonjour, just adding 1 air lift axle on each already exixting scs b-train trailer, i mean 2 x 28 foot trailers with 1 tag axle each to make a 7 axles flatbead b-train would be great . nice mod !!!! merci.
purpleicecream  [author] 12 Dec, 2023 @ 5:27pm 
Should be available in all states again. Still haven't had the time to add any new trailers to it though. Also, no, I cannot make these appear in traffic (I'm sure there's probably a way to do it but I have no idea what that way is, also would probably cause traffic jams cause the AI trucks don't seem to pay any attention to the length of their trailers when turning).
GamerZone 7 Dec, 2023 @ 10:27am 
could you make thease appear in traffic aswell when you do your'e updates
indiora5665 4 Dec, 2023 @ 12:35pm 
just wanted to let you know that Kansas is out and the trailers have restriction in that state i hope you have a chance to update your mod and thank you, maybe u can add that B-quad Three 3-axle Bs and one 4-axle 53ft. Steerable Box/Insulated/Reefer while your at it :steamhappy: lol any way hope your having an amazing day
indiora5665 3 Dec, 2023 @ 11:46am 
hello hope you doing well :) are you ready for Christmas its almost here :)
kinbyr1 27 Oct, 2023 @ 11:38am 
my favourite mod, any chance on making a quad or trip for gas tanks? thanks
purpleicecream  [author] 9 Feb, 2023 @ 1:13pm 
I am working on this BTW. Had a rough couple of months, but I am back. Currently trying to get everything organized into an excel spreadsheet so I can stop doing all the calculations for weight/length/etc. manually for each trailer.
indiora5665 28 Jan, 2023 @ 9:42am 
B-quad Three 3-axle Bs and one 4-axle 53ft. Steerable Box/Insulated/Reefer when ever you have time thnak you and happy new years
purpleicecream  [author] 14 Jan, 2023 @ 11:57am 
I adjusted weight limits for Texas. Sorry it took so long, been dealing with a lot recently.
isaackinyash 31 Dec, 2022 @ 10:08am 
Texas jobs have weight limits
purpleicecream  [author] 27 Nov, 2022 @ 4:38am 
The lowboy should with all the other lowboy double configurations. It's name is "Articulated, 6 Axles Special" but it uses the 2+3 lowboy icon (because I don't know how to make custom icons).
LoamSlayer 25 Nov, 2022 @ 3:20pm 
Hey boss, I do not see the lowboy ANYWHERE? I have LOOKED AND LOOKED.I hope its just not something I'm seeing. help!
indiora5665 24 Nov, 2022 @ 10:35am

purpleicecream  [author] 8 Oct, 2022 @ 10:03am 
They won't show up for quick jobs or freight market, you have to buy them. From the trailer purchase screen you should be able to configure the trailer to one of the longer combinations and then buy it.
lightbunny46 8 Oct, 2022 @ 1:10am 
i dont see the mods anywhere
purpleicecream  [author] 16 Sep, 2022 @ 7:38pm 
Once again, I do not know how to make new trailer models. All I did was I reused the models that were already in the game in new configurations. If you'd like a new configuration that uses existing trailer models I can do that, otherwise you'll have to look at other trailer mods.
CRAZY JACK GAMES 15 Sep, 2022 @ 10:37am 
This is awesome
Thank you for making this makes it almost just like haulin in Michigan with the 6 and 7 axle version but for the 8 axle could you add
B-Double (8 axle) one 4-axle B and one 4-axle 32ft
B-Double (8 Axle) one 5-axle B and one 3-axle 32ft
with the 5-axle B there is a single 9 foot spread followed by the other four axles and there two lift axles on them. On the 4-axle 32ft there is a 9 foot spread followed by the 3 axles with just the spread as a lift axle and generally only used for Dry Bulk, Fuel Tank, Dumper, Grain Hopper, Flatbed/Tarp and Container with gross weight of truck and combination loaded around 160,000-162,000 lbs
purpleicecream  [author] 10 Sep, 2022 @ 7:14pm 
Check out the ludicrous trailer mod, it has turnpike triples and quads. I can't make any configurations other than the 45ft though as that is the only trailer with a hook on the end for attaching the dolly. I'd need to make new models to add the hook to any other trailer lengths and I don't know how to do that, I'm just reusing the models that are already in the game.
newuserwhousessteam 10 Sep, 2022 @ 2:04pm 
Good afternoon, once again I request a 48 or 53 foot Insulated Turnpike Triple train for ease of request just have the standard tandem axles if you can, would be greatly appreciated
indiora5665 3 Sep, 2022 @ 7:36pm 
thank you
purpleicecream  [author] 3 Sep, 2022 @ 6:24pm 
53ft. steerable box variants added
indiora5665 22 Aug, 2022 @ 10:31am 
Hope you hade a nice weekend purpleicream
indiora5665 19 Aug, 2022 @ 8:53am 
do you think u can add the 4th axle steerable to the Dry box and reefer B-Triple (9 axle): Two 3-axle Bs and one 3-axle 53ft.* if you have some time free of corse
purpleicecream  [author] 14 Aug, 2022 @ 9:07am 
I've been planning an update to my othet mod which has even longer trailers, but I haven't finished it yet. I have a lot going on right now.

The only other way to get more axles would be to make custom models, and I don't know how to do that. I just reuse the stock models in longer configurations.
bratby87 14 Aug, 2022 @ 3:24am 
yes i see that any chance for more axles as the most i can see are 9 with a triple setup
indiora5665 13 Aug, 2022 @ 10:26am
