Yes you need to use the console to reposition the truck after spawning. I can't change the default spawn location.

I cant spawn the trailer without it glitching my truck into the railing

for those wondering, the mod seems to still be working fine!

@saisrkariscool when you want a trailer longer, you have to configure it before purchasing it

I can't find where to buy the trailers, when I check standard trailers purchase and check the links for all of the trailers, it doesn't show.

I have no idea why that could be, and honestly I don't really have the time right now to look into it. I have not played ATS or actively maintained this mod for several months now. Sorry.

I think there may be an issue with some cargo not showing up on flatbed trailers with the new 1.54 update

Sir, this is awesome! Will you bring this mod to ETS too?

aight I see. I just find it weird that it works in solo but multiplayer kills itself loll
purpleicecream  [author] 29 Aug, 2024 @ 2:07pm 
Well if shorter trailers work then the issue seems to be that the game just won't let you use trailer combinations over a certain size. I can't force multiplayer to work with longer trailers, if the game doesn't like it then that's that.
Gab_263 29 Aug, 2024 @ 8:57am 
I just tried a food tank sextuple pup configuration. same thing. immediately concludes convoy. Could you try remaking this on your end?
purpleicecream  [author] 28 Aug, 2024 @ 3:28pm 
Do any other trailer types work in sextuple pup configuration? Seems like the multiplayer might have some kind of check for vehicle length and that's why it doesn't work. I can't think of any other reason why the shorter combinations would work fine but the longer ones don't.
Gab_263 28 Aug, 2024 @ 10:00am 
seems to be a bug with the Reefer Sextuple Pup. I tried Quintuple and Quadtuple and they both worked. but as soon as I just equiped the Sextuple, the convoy concludes itself
Gab_263 27 Aug, 2024 @ 10:34am 
I haven't tested that. Il try that soon
purpleicecream  [author] 27 Aug, 2024 @ 1:19am 
Does it work with shorter trailers? Maybe the multiplayer has some kind of length limit?
Gab_263 26 Aug, 2024 @ 10:29am 
It seems this mod doesn't work in multiplayer. when I equiped the 6 reefer trailers, it immediately concluded my current convoy and when I tried to make another one. It immediately concludes it.
purpleicecream  [author] 1 Aug, 2024 @ 11:08pm 
No. You have to buy it and equip it and take a job from the cargo market. I couldn't figure out how to add them as options for freight market jobs.
Dominik 30 Jul, 2024 @ 10:45am 
This trailers in freight market?
plznobullymenou 10 Jul, 2024 @ 12:56pm 
works now. thanks!
purpleicecream  [author] 9 Jul, 2024 @ 7:39pm 
You have to configure them. After you select a type (B-double, Triple, etc) you can change how many trailers there are. I couldn't figure out how to add new "types" of trailers so all the B-trains are under "B-double" for example.
plznobullymenou 9 Jul, 2024 @ 12:25pm 
i'm not seeing the trailers pop up in the trailer purchase tab. am i missing something?
pberb1986 2 Jul, 2024 @ 9:40am 
yeah max im seeing is like 120,000 and to think a 6-7 trailer would be 200-250,000 minimum weight
purpleicecream  [author] 2 Jul, 2024 @ 8:37am 
I have no idea why that would be happening. Everything seems to be okay with my mods. Could possibly be a conflict with another mod? Maybe something that changes how container loads work?
pberb1986 29 Jun, 2024 @ 10:32am 
purple ive tried switching them around in the load order,the waights arent alot,like for a 20 axle b double container trailer its stating theres only 8000 pounds and 120,000 pounds for a 20 axle flatbed so which one do i remove to get the heavier loads cause theyre obviously not working together
pberb1986 23 Jun, 2024 @ 11:37pm 
one other thing do they have to be set specifically and i dont know how to use the console,i just hunt for service areas long enough for them and which one should be used for the most cargo weight when you customize
pberb1986 18 Jun, 2024 @ 6:27pm 
ok good
purpleicecream  [author] 8 Jun, 2024 @ 1:29pm 
Both. They work together.
pberb1986 4 Jun, 2024 @ 3:58pm 
so which mod do i use,the one you posted in comments or this one so i know which one to stay subscribed to
purpleicecream  [author] 10 May, 2024 @ 4:08pm 
Do you have my other mod too? https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2791997269

You need that mod to increase the weight limits in the game, otherwise it will use the default weight limits. And that means you can't carry as much cargo.
pberb1986 10 May, 2024 @ 1:57pm 
can you please add more weight for the loads,it seems that eventho theres 4-5 trailers its still the weight of a single trailer or double
indiora5665 9 May, 2024 @ 10:05pm 
hello how have you been doing hope everything is going weal for you. when ever you add more trailers in to this mode i wood appreciated if you can add a reefer turnpike Triple, 45ft x2+53ft with the steerable axle thanks ooooo all most forgot Nebraska dlc will be released on may 16th hope you are ready :steamhappy: have a wonder full rest of the night :steamhappy:
purpleicecream  [author] 3 May, 2024 @ 6:58pm 
I'm not sure why that would be happening. Perhaps convoy only allows for stock trailers?
Chanti 1 May, 2024 @ 4:30am 
Bug: Ends convoy session when hitched. Unable to create convoy when in use.
^5[MCRM]^0SNOW🐺 10 Feb, 2024 @ 6:42pm 
ok i hope it all works
purpleicecream  [author] 10 Feb, 2024 @ 9:44am 
Hmmm... strange. I'll take a look, see if I can figure out what's up with that.
^5[MCRM]^0SNOW🐺 7 Feb, 2024 @ 11:14pm

as you can see with 3 trailers the weight of cargo is less
2 trailers is 87,337
3 trailers is 69,869
its the same for all trailers just using grain since it shows a big difference
3 trailers should be at least 131004 for potato's
purpleicecream  [author] 7 Feb, 2024 @ 10:50pm 
That sounds about right. I used the stock trailers as a reference to calculate how much cargo the longer combinations should be able to haul. Both in terms of weight and volume.
^5[MCRM]^0SNOW🐺 6 Feb, 2024 @ 4:38am 
the weight of the cargo does not seem to increase i'm using 3 grain Turnpike Doubles
and the cargo only weights 70k lbs 32 us tons i think 3 grain trailers should be more like 60-70 us tons
RandomRoseGaming 29 Jan, 2024 @ 8:20pm 
you know....im not gonna try this mod, i like my tires to remain on earth thank you.....
but that presentation......just damn perfection....
Aurthur B. Moore 6 Jan, 2024 @ 12:54am 
nvm i read the desc more
Aurthur B. Moore 6 Jan, 2024 @ 12:54am 
How in the hell do you spawn it in
Turtle 25 Nov, 2023 @ 10:04pm 
i am just wondering i have this mod were do i buy the trailers
Tug RubNuts 24 Nov, 2023 @ 10:45am 
So I see the SCS gas tanker has a B-Double option, could you add some longer versions of it to this mod? I'd love to drag around a B-Double quint combination of those sweet looking trailers!
purpleicecream  [author] 3 Oct, 2023 @ 3:46pm 
I still have no idea what could be causing that. My mod uses the stock trailer models, so if there's any issues with the models or physics then that's not something I have any part in. I did check to make sure my mod was using the appropriate trailer models (in case they renamed something in one of the updates and now my mod didn't use the right file names anymore) but I can't find anything wrong with it.
Traindude777 21 Sep, 2023 @ 9:23pm 
@purpleicecream sorry to bother you again but i did find something missing on the quad drybulk pup set the 4th trailer is missing the front fender and there is no option to add it could you possibly fix it so we can add the front fender to it???
purpleicecream  [author] 18 Sep, 2023 @ 2:11pm 
I have absolutely no idea why that would be happening. Sounds like it could be something wrong with the physics engine (though idk why it would only affect dry bulk trailers). Everything seems to be in order on my end.

Maybe try unsubscribing and subscribing again to make steam re-download it? That's the only thing I can think of.
