@PBandJ love the clean look! I'm also upset Life behind the Wheel left trucking but wish him all the best
If it is stupid but it works, it isn't stupid.

The 13-liter Volvo D13 engine with 368 kW and 2508 Nm of torque was quite struggling with 66 t of pet food in British Columbia (I play with my own length and weight laws and with my own speed limits). The exhaust brake @ 2200 rpm of this tiny engine was barely enough to hold the vehicle back on steep downhill grades.
I wish we could get these as a Super B-Double in real life with 2 × 40' = 80' = 24.4 m cargo length (= two 40' ISO/shipping containers). In the screenshots you see a regular B-Double with a 28' and a 53' trailer combined. Both trailers have steerable rear axles and liftable front axles for driving them solo or lightly loaded.
As a Super B-Double you could combine two 40' semi-trailers (with an exposable fifth wheel) into one truck and save a lot of fuel and vehicles. For hauling ISO/shipping containers loaded up to their maximum capacity (~30 t), you would need a GCW of 90 t, with lighter bodies you could probably get away with a GCW of around 80 t.

@xDope Yes I miss his trucking videos. He just had a different perspective and showed different things. Any how, hopefully it works out for him.
