Owned Box Trailers Spread axle question

[P3_Super_Bee]

I haven't seen anyone post on this here or at SCS. Don't want to ask at SCS due to not running a clean profile for the beta. I know shame on me... So maybe this is my fault...

The spread axle box trailers (45' and 48') There are NO mudflaps for the forward axle. Is the being looked at? Are they required by law in the US?

The flatbed spread axle they are not installed by default, but the option is there if you wish. No such option on the box trailers...

Thanks...

Spread axles are not required to have mud flaps on the front axle

This.. actually varies by state apparently.

I didn't even know this until I looked it up on Google.

Like you said, the option is there for the flatbeds, but not for the box trailers. I too had a "what the heck?!" moment when i realized I couldn't put them on my forward set.

Honestly, it was probably an oversight on SCS's part. Hopefully they spot them missing and add them in, or we'll have to get a modder to rectify it for us.

Very few road rules are obligated in Quebec. Even fewer are followed ;)

I'm not really worried about the regulations requiring them, I just like the way two sets of flaps look on a spread axle.

Speaking of which, I wish we could paint the cooler covers. Might come later hopefully.
