Some Clarifications
Guys, I wanted to make a quick post here to clarify some questions I have been getting often. I have posted this on Discord as well.

For those asking about tandem positions, **YES **I plan to have a Forward, Middle and Rear position for all trailers for sliding tandems.

For those asking about spread axles, I am holding off on that. No, it is NOT that I "do not like spread axles". I actually do not have an opinion as they are useful for their applications just like any other axle. I want to clarify that my hold on spread axles is strictly from a modeling perspective. Also, I want to re-emphasize that my vision for my trailer packs is this:

"*I want a highly detailed trailer pack that is aimed for those who role-play a company driver or a driver using trailers at either manufacturer spec or fleet spec levels. There are literally THOUSANDS of trailers out there that focus on "bling" or "owner op" type specs. So my focus is to cover the areas no one else has, which is focusing on the role-play aspects from a practical driver standpoint.*"

It is rare for ANY van company to have spread axles. There are flatbed companies galore who have spread axles, but for Dry Van and Reefer, spread axles are more of an owner op thing. This does NOT mean I have ruled out including these in the future, but I want to be absolutely clear that I do not intend to even consider these until I have completed BOTH of my trailer packs, and am satisfied I have done all I can to finish all company-driver type aspects for those packs or you guys.

That said, NO, I have no intention of going nuts on "owner op/bling/show" specs. This includes chrome sides, lights from hell, etc. Again, nothing against these looks. That is not the vision of this trailer pack, so I hope you all understand in that regard. There are many mods out there that focus on this and not on what we as practical drivers actually use in real life. I want to give you THOSE tools for your role-play.

Thanks, and have a great day, everyone.
