I was under the impression that OTR trucks typically only use service roads, and then vocational trucks like the 49X take things from there. But maybe things are handled differently depending on how rugged the terrain is. But I don't think taking a Freightliner Cascadia for example on a steep and curvy forest road is particularly realistic.kostraelpayaso wrote: ↑30 Jun 2022 10:36 Is it normal for semi trucks in North America to access steep logging roads though? I recently changed career to forestry and here large semi trucks only enter main 'service' roads, normaly paved with gravel or similar and with relatively low steep. The bulk of the logging roads are accessed by smaller 6x6 trucks and machinery (forwarders, skidders, etc.) that have better maneuverability in unpaved narrow and steeper roads.

Some Montana-related observations I made while driving the new US-14 yesterday:
Had a Great Falls Cargo Terminal trailer pass by me on US-191 in the shadow of Grand Teton, driving SOUTH. So I guess that means he illegally drove through Yellowstone Spawning in that part of the map should probably be looked at. Must have been coming from US-26
There is no road signage here https://www.google.com/maps/@44.5680305 ... 312!8i6656 where you have to turn to keep on US-14 where it intersects the Grand Loop Road. To me that's extra confirmation that US-212 isn't coming.
Like others have said, US-14 Alt seems out of the question, and that's fine by me. Doesn't really add enough to justify its existence and the space it would take up on the map.
It's pretty crazy how Montana has snuck up on us like this. I was certain this was going to be an October DLC, but now it's looking like August, maybe even July? It's really impressive how much Davido's team of newbies has accomplished since starting Wyoming a year and a half ago. Hopefully they can stick together for the next DLC, and keep building on their rapidly growing skillset and productivity. I'd love to see them tackle Oklahoma, if that's what Pavel has in store for them.
