Where's da Curtainsider trailers?

#1 Post by Centrino2 » 08 May 2017 22:13

Can't believe there are so few curtainsider mods, the one SCS chose for the game is not very common at all.

Here is what I usually see, which I did state in an older topic.... which now seems to have disappeared: (found it: viewtopic.php?f=185&t=199802)

Pinnacle:

I usually have an easier time finding stuff like this not sure why I'm pulling up European results

This one just turned out to be a modified flatbed with that Conestoga XP system (very common variant):
[ external image ] last image used disappeared these are usually black not blue

Hmmm.... ya know what..... these "curtainsiders" are actually just modified flatbeds... oops. :oops: :lol:

Yep... My Old Pappy used to say they are custom flatbeds with a fancy hat.

We do have them, they're just those silly looking trailers with the raised platform at the front, remnants of something 80s.

I honestly wish they'd replace them with something more like this.

Slight correction in case there is a misunderstanding but in this link: http://www.curtainsider.com/picture-gal ... r_pictures

The LIVE POULTRY CURTAINSIDER is also another thing I do not see in North Carolina or anywhere else on the east coast (or maybe it was not deployed), usual live poultry trailers I see are like this:

http://wadeservices.com/?page_id=1074 (dang image size limit, but this is just another modified flatbed)

This is what I see..... and smell on the east coast. And there is a tridem version of this as well, but I don't see tridem versions on the east coast.

Link to one of the trailer manufactures for SCS's sake: http://www.mheby.com/product-categories ... -trailers/

Possum Belly Tran-Pork is the type of livestock trailer I usually see.... not sure if they use them to just haul pigs around.

A link to another one: http://www.barrett-trailers.com/semi-aluminum-trailers

The variant I usually see.

Not to say that these are the exact trailers I see but they look very similar to what I see..... or maybe these are the same ones.

Is it just me, or is that truck with the blue trailer in the original post driving in oncoming traffic on the Interstate?

No. No no no. Rare or not, I would never want them replaced. At the end of the day it's more choice and variety. But adding more common trailers in as additions is totally fine with me. :P
