is there anyway to disable or remove the checkpoints?
is there anyway to disable or remove the checkpoints? theyre really bad and annoying, they keep closing the gate thing on my truck causing me to be stuck and either have to ram through them or just like not go through them, or try like 10 times for them to finally not close the gate on my truck and have either the truck or trailer clip inside of it.

I don't think so.

If you mean the toll booths, where you pay to drive on the road, most have an automated pass lane, where you can drive through the toll without stopping. Otherwise, just being a more careful driver and driving off immediately after the barrier lifts up will fix it. They are there in real life across Europe, so you'd better get used to them. Spain has automated toll collection, with no barriers to drive through.
Look at the signs above each lane at the toll booths, they will tell you which ones you can drive straight through without stopping. Some of the lanes are not to be used by trucks, these will also have signs indicating cars only.
Practice makes perfect.

no the toll boots are fine, I mean the border crossings, they always close the gate thing on me and make it so that my truck gets stuck in it 9/10 times.

Well you must be stopping too close to the gate. There is a large green thing that tells you where to stop to pay.

@12100 - I guess you are using some mods and going around with something longer than allowed as for vanilla game it doesn't clip barriers on your truck or trailer(s).

If this is not the case then tell me which truck, chassis, trailer(s), cargo and where it happened last time so that I can check it me too. By the way, I'm on v1.46 yet (no v1.47 beta) and without Black Sea/Iberia DLC, but up to Baltic border checks I can give it a try.

That is very likely due to a mod that alters your truck and/or trailer. Meaning that the bounding box of your vehicle is too short and the game detects you to be through there already.

So not a game problem but due to a mod.

Using Jazzycats trailer mods and never had an issue at any border crossing, not even with double trailers.
You need to start moving immediately the barrier is vertical.
Are you using triple trailers (which aren't allowed in Europe btw)?

I have never had to pay at the border checkpoints, and the whole issue I have is that when I stop, the close the barrier thing on my truck, so it will either clip in my truck, trailer or both.

So at best I have to leave the trailer behind, which isnt good at all. if the game would just not close the barrier on my truck when im waiting for the annoying documents checking it would be annoying but it wouldnt be as bad as it is now, like the areas with border checkpoints are unplayable withouth mods as the barrier would destroy the cargo and truck when it clips inside, and even with the no damage mod you still need to be towed a billion times which costs money and time when the game imo just shouldnt close the barrier on my truck or trailer.

its on the dlc where you go to like romania, bulgaria and turkey ( it is an issue for romania and bulgaria and I gave up on the dilvery before I got into turkey as the game was just making it unplayable.

I am not on the beta, latest normal version and I had some like longer chassis which I am not sure if it is in the base game or not I have seen it on multiple trucks I think it was like one of these where you have steering wheels on the rear, and 2 in the front and then like 3 wheels in the middle. it makes it easier to take corners with cargo. as for the trailer itself there are dual trailers, but it was just a single trailer when I had the issue.

I dont know why it is a thing, but I do play thing game with mods only so thats why I need a mod that removes the border checkpoints or atleast prevents the clipping( or a no clip thing, I guess that would work too).

no its like "I am not on the beta, latest normal version and I had some like longer chassis which I am not sure if it is in the base game or not I have seen it on multiple trucks I think it was like one of these where you have steering wheels on the rear, and 2 in the front and then like 3 wheels in the middle. it makes it easier to take corners with cargo. as for the trailer itself there are dual trailers, but it was just a single trailer when I had the issue"

this is basically the situation with the truck, and weither it is or isnt a mod, Im mainly looking for a way to have it fixed withouth disabling mods.

Wouldn't it be better to get a truck mod that doesn't break the game than to get yet another mod to remove something the truck mod is breaking? ;)

Is it happening to every player who goes through the border checkpoints, or just the OP?
I would suggest that there is not a problem with the borders, and the OP is either going through the wrong lane or he's using a mod that causes the error.
The usual argument applies: if there aren't any reports of this from lots of other players, it isn't likely to be a fault with the game, as they would all be here, saying the same thing.
Some of those border crossings are much more complicated than a simple toll booth, you have to present papers, and have the truck scanned and inspected, stopping at multiple locations, if I remember correctly, as well as only going through in the required lane.
I have had all the DLC with these borders since they came out and have never experienced this happening.
I will, if time allows, try and drive though some of them and see what happens.

imo it would be nice if someone fixes it with a mod or the devs might take a look at it yeah.
I just want to use the nice chassis from the work shop and drive around with that as it is great for everything, like its the best one ever. like if that one mod someone linked (still gotta test it) doesnt fix it ill just avoid them all together I guess, its not the end of the world but it would be nice if it could be fixed by a mod or another way.
