Lol. True. I still have a lot more to go. There is another 10 or so categories I want to post. I'd like to find some more pics to go along with the other categories though. A lot of these pics are the luck of the draw with finding what I am looking for. But the name of the game is variety. I try to find multiple picks of the same thing to get some variety. 2-3 loads of the same thing can really erase repetitiveness in my opinion. Especially if SCS provided such a dlc pack. Some day I hope that SCS will do dlc is parts or continued support. For example, we already paid for the heavy haul dlc. How about give us a HH Part 2, HH Part 3....etc. Just throw in another 8 or so loads on the same trailers. Trailers and programming is already done. All that needs to happen is add new cargo. Shouldn't be too hard I'd imagine.

It seems kind of dangerous having that rebar hanging that far off the trailer. Since rebar is semi-flexible, I can see it bouncing around and marking the trailer unstable when driving over bumps. Also, even though is is signed with an "Oversize Load" banner and has a red flag, shouldn't there also be a flashing light on the end of the rebar?

Also, I love your recent additions to your list of suggestions of flat-deck loads. Besides more truck and maps, more open deck cargoes is something that ATS needs more of.

I never seen rebar hang over like that either. When I use to unload trucks at depot, the longest stick of rebar where only 20'. The one I posted although it's for reference, I'd think it is actually a special load. I can't guarantee the need for a light, I am only aware of it needing to be flagged. But that rebar seems like it would need a 60-65' flatbed which doesn't exist, lol. The only other way to haul that would be on an extended bed lowboy or a heavy haul trailer in which I have never seen either used for such cargo. That rebar does seem fairly thick though. If I had to guess I'd say it is 1"-1 1/2" thick rebar. It might not have as much give as you think. Especially with the ends being banded together. It will move a tad but not like it would if it was 1/2" rebar.

@supersobes. Yes I sooooo agree that ATS needs this pack. I really really hope SCS is viewing this. This is easy money for Trailer Ownership lovers. As of now, I returned back to freight market until more cargo gets added. Flatbed loads are huge here in the US/North America. I'd say on average, I see about 30%-40% open deck cargo loads on my daily commute. That includes low boys, dropdecks, standard flat beds and heavy haul.

It really helps from seeing and dealing with a lot of material at the Home Depot. Also just being observant on the roadways as to what truckers are hauling.

The idea is good,i want them cargoes.But,is it worth $3 tho?If they are basic cargoes,i would pay $2 max for it.

[flight50]

Depends on how much is included in the dlc. I'd say for a dozen loads of cargo with 2-3 different variations, I'd easy pay what ever SCS asked for...no questions. For 12 loads with 2-3 variations, that is 24-36 different loads. Heck yeah its worth it, lol. Look at all the juicy stuff we are coming up with in this thread, lol. It may not be for everyone, but for those that love open cargo loads, we'd be in heaven. Currently, I have turn to mods to get variety in loads. Chris45, JazzyCat, B4rt, Smarty.....to just name a few. All have awesome flatbed loads that just don't exist in ATS. They are sorely missing. TO can have massive potential with flatbeds. I'd just like to see SCS tap into that gold mine with at least one pack that features cargo from this thread or similar. Remember the North American community is having to school SCS a bit because they can't see nor do they experience what we do on a day to day basis.

[SirVirgoTheMess]

To be honest,variations won't matter for the price.Only the number of cargoes should matter.If someone has to correct me,feel free to do so
Edit : i'm thinking about it,all cargoes pack are $5.49 CAD.So,yeah,$3 should do it then.

[flight50]

I agree with variations. Variations is primarily to eliminate the feel of being repetitive like we have in game now. That is also why I stated a dozen. 10-12 loads should be sufficient. I think for ATS ST, we will not get more than 10 cargo due to their size. ST loads seem to be very detailed and looks like a lot of effort went into them. The new leaked one of the tower, looks awesome. I am thinking 8-10 cargo loads. I surely hope it sales well so that we can get another cargo pack for ST. I don't see the point of adding additional loads. We get what we get. We will get free routes in future dlc and that is good enough. Once they give us a cargo pack, create a new pack for purchase. Keep adding packs. I honestly think we should get (1) cargo pack a year. So far, the past 2 years has done that for both games.

[SirVirgoTheMess]

I have to agree with you there,except for one small point : another ST pack.Surely that won't happen.We'll get one ST pack for each games.
