Faelandaea's Trailer Pack

Description
On Steam, my Utility 3000R/4000D-X apparently was well liked, which meant a lot to me. As a real world truck driver, I did not have time to maintain a mod online, so others kindly did so for me, and that also meant a lot to me.

Now the mod is apparently broken and no longer available on Steam, so here I am attempting to bring the project back to life, but with some additions. What I would like to do is represent in this pack any trailers that I have pulled in real life.

NOTE: This pack is for OWNED TRAILERS ONLY!!! No freight market. Also, all trailers are single configuration. I MAY do Doubles/Triples in the future, but for now I want to focus on the base trailers first.

I am going to update this mod in stages to include multiple trailers, in detail, down to the last decal and warning label.

To start this off, I shall get the Utility 3000R up and running.

This is a WORK IN PROGRESS! Please bear that in mind. This is my roadmap for mod progress as I find time between runs out on the road:

Pack 1: (This mod)
  • Utility 3000R-----------------DONE
  • Utility 4000D-X--------------DONE
  • Great Dane Everest-------DONE
  • Great Dane Champion---DONE
  • Hyundai Composite®-----DONE
  • Hyundai Thermotech®---DONE
  • Accessory Sync for All Trailers - IN PROGRESS!!!! FINAL STEP BEFORE STARTING PACK 2!!!!!!

Pack 2: (Will be another mod in addition to this one)
  • Vanguard Reefer-----------------------------------------NOT STARTED
  • Vanguard VIP 4000/MaxCube/VXP-----------------NOT STARTED
  • Stoughton PureBlue-------------------------------------NOT STARTED
  • Stoughton Tough Plate/Z Plate/Extra Wide/AV---NOT STARTED
  • Wabash Acutherm---------------------------------------NOT STARTED
  • Wabash DuraPlate®-------------------------------------NOT STARTED

There are more trailers on my down-the-road wish-list to do (see the list below), however there is no ETA nor even a guarantee that these will make it into the pack. The factors are many, but the largest factors are reference photos and access to 3D models. If anyone has access to these trailers and can help with references for visuals, I am definitely welcoming such assistance.

Anyone wishing to contribute such photo references, bear in mind I do not mean just a couple of photos of the trailer in general. I can get those easily enough of the net with a simple Google image search. What I want is one particular trailer, and MANY photos, especially of decals/labels, placards, placement positions of decals/lights/etc., rivet layouts, etc. That said, the list I am seeking references for is as follows:
  • Great Dane Champion®
  • Hyundai ThermoTech®
  • Vanguard Reefer
  • Vanguard Dry Van
  • Wabash Articlite® Reefer
  • Wabash Dry Van

Guys, PLEASE bear with me. I do not make mods for a living. I am a full time OTR Driver who is only home every 2 weeks, and I tend to want to make the most of my home time with family time, as well as my cats. I'm also in college at Devry University, so my home time also consist of getting my homework done and uploaded. When I return to the road, I consider myself fortunate to do even a few hours of work each week. If you can have patience for that, and still enjoy my mod, I will be grateful.

CREDITS:
  1. All physical parts are from the default SCS trailers or 3D models I purchased myself from CGTrader, Turbosquid, and other 3D model asset sites. Yes, I am dumping a LOT of money into this mod for you guys.
  2. Custom decals were all made by me from photos I took of the trailers I worked with in real life.

Also, one last note. If any of you ask questions here, and you get responses from Twinshadow, ScottAnime, or Chief86, consider them legit. They are on Discord with me all the time and they do know where I stand on my projects. Please respect their replies the same as my own. :)

WANT TO SEE ONE OF THESE TRAILERS IN ACTION IN REAL LIFE? Join the Discord server and you are always welcome to interact with myself and others, as well as pop into "On The Road (Trucking) voice channel to talk with us as we drive in real life. We usually have cams up showing our highway adventure live as we drive, and we love showing enthusiasts what we do and answer questions along the way. So feel free to hop on in anytime yo see someone in there! https://discord.gg/PEm7M9HwYP

Thank you, all, and stay safe out there.

Sophie - AH! Okay. Yeah I'd just use the forward position for that maybe. I can definitely consider adding more tandem positions later on, but for now I am just focusing on the big three. :)

As for Cali ... it is SUPPOSED to be 40' from Kingpin to rear axle, but in real life I go into Cali almost weekly with my tandems at the halfway mark, which is too far back for their standards, but no one has ever bothered me over it. I think as long as I am not dragging around rear tandems and turning like the Titanic they could care less.

It's only illegal if you go through a weigh station in the game. lol I forgot what Fae told me about the length restriction for CA, but I know it's in relation to the kingpin and I believe the first axle of the trailer. Either that or it's the second, can't recall, which is where the sliding tandems of trailers must be all the way to the front to be legal if hauling a 53' trailer to the state.

Also, i thought Cali was 41'

OOPS that means i have been illegal a few times heading into cali myself xD

I am a Canadian driver so i am used to the 41' from Manitoba.

But yea, just something a bit more in the mid!

Yeah that’s what threw me off was the odd 41 foot request. I drive the lower 48 and haven’t come across that yet. Thanks for the compliments, 21hd883. :)

Trailer's look good
21hd883 Aug 19, 2023 @ 2:10am 
CA is 40' not 41' i'm a driver of 34 year's & i live in CA :)

I don't "think" he plans to do any skin packs for these trailers. He may just leave that up to some other people to do perhaps. Not sure though. He mostly just includes Xtra Lease and Premiere Leasing since some owner-ops may lease trailers out in real life instead of buying. (then there's that one exception of a Denney skin he decided to put in for the 3000R)

Some skin pack for this mod?
