i reported that too and never got a response

there is one just like that north between Denton and DFW i think or between Gainseville and Denton cant remember which

[Space_Night]

do ya think it will get updated with Blackspots working on it now?

[dault3883]

i would think so Texas and oklahoma area to my understanding is the area Blackspots has been working on for quite a while

[Blackspots]

@Space_Night It'll be updated eventually. It'll probably take me several weeks or months to finish Dallas/Fort Worth.

[Space_Night]

@Blackspots thanks buddy.

Oooh, Fort Worth is looking good! I assume that's all in the huge empty space currently down there? Glad to see that getting filled in! Seeing a huge neighborhood like that makes me wish we could get jobs where you deliver directly to homes. Maybe if we ever get multi-drop loads, that could be a thing... I've seen companies like R+L Carriers roll into a neighborhood with a lift-gate 40-footer to drop off stuff at people's houses before. It was odd to see in my neighborhood, but a friend of mine that drives for them tells me it's actually not that uncommon.

here in the UK @Sanguinem Luna multi drop in residentials is done with a 15000lb cube van or a small cargo van. streets here are not really made for big semi trucks

@Space_Night its done differently here in the United States are streets are wider period we dont have narrow streets for the most part like Europe does

its why our cars for the most part are not all small like most are in europe is cause they dont have to be

you also call them Lorry's and for the most part those deliver stuff to neighborhoods in america too

but sometimes its not uncommon for a small trailer pulled by a daycab to make a delivery lik @Sanguinem Luna said

things are different here then they are there

here cabovers never really caught on for the most part

when they were used a lot it was because at the time there was a maximum length law in place that said the tractor (big rig) and the trailer put together could only be so long

therefore if they used a cabover they could use a longer trailer and haul more stuff

but when the law went away so did the need for the cabover and they slowely faded away from the Highway class 8 trucks here in the states Now to my knowledge there are no Class 8 Highway class cabovers in production in the USA

[Space_Night]

yeah, the last was the Argosy and that ended for North America a few years ago with production in NC being for the Aussie market, however i think the Argosy is dead there too. Im guessing you could probably get a DAF XF in the USA if you wanted as the cab is shared with the K500 oilfield truck as the driveline is also fully Paccar (apart from the ZF gearbox)
