Parking brake?

No air?

Ran i into that when I was on the way to pick up a load & stopped to buy & upgrade a new shop. The game stuck me in the new facility but the truck wouldn't move. You can fast travel and it should take care of it.

That is very likely because you have no air in the tanks. Either rev up the engine in neutral or deactivate the simulation of the air brake in the gameplay settings.

my air brakes are good. all it does is idle..i cant even drive in automatic..

Deactivate the simulation of the airbrakes and see if it works now. If it does you were too low on air.

My experience with this, is almost always because of my wheel/pedal combo. The brake or gas will usually stay "stuck" in a state without pressure after I start the game for the first time after I restart my system, so I apply some pressure, and release and then it stops thinking the brakes are held or the gas is full power, and I can drive like nothing happened.

I play with air brake simulation off & automatic transmission. Just for laughs, I tried it again after loading a previous save & got the same thing. After that, I just said to heck with it & didn't bother with buying a new shop.

There have been occasions like now for instance, that my truck won't move and there is no engine sound. 99% of the time its almost always a mod that is out of date or gone bad. So we have to go through the process of illimination to find the out date mod. Its aggravating as hell. A lot of times I hope for something simple. Hopefully I can fix mine and hopefull yours well get fixed soon.

So guys, I have similar problem right now. Can't move my truck, even tried to fast travel somewhere else...Hand brake off and also I turned off air brake sim...any ideas?

When I'm accelerating wheels just spinning in place, truck is not moving..
