I actually agree.
Because I know I can't compete in the trucks section. I could compete in the combos and trailers though.

It wouldn't really be a challenge just making truck or trailer categories. It should be combo only imo. Whatever you guys wanna do though, it doesn't matter to me.

This isnt a full blown truck show. Just a friendly competion to see who can roll up with the best looking beastliest heavy haul "COMBO" Im tired of trailer queen contests. This is for full blown work machines in their environment.

Well, considering most successful heavy haul operations have their own trucks and trailers... It's kindof pointless to just do a truck category...

Yeah, a truck with no trailer is about as good as a horse with only two front legs.

yeh if you have a truck and trailer section wouldnt that just make it a normal truck show, i thought the idea of this was to show who can carry the largest/heaviest loads. i think we should be able to show different loads on the same truck/trailer, like for instance im doing my float so different loads are just trailer variants. although dont judge it on who has the most loads or anything like that, make it optional. anyway up to Corey and the other mods.

Or you could just pull ten trailers. I do really like your float set, and I think Aussie trucks are actually my favorites over most other trucks on earth. Nothing better than raw power.

haha thanks, but our trucks are just US or euro trucks at heart, specced to length and axle weights. i considered doing a triple oversize roadtrain with mining camp huts on each trailer, but i think im going to just do a typical oversize setup. i do have an idea in my head that i might try that i havent done before, see how i go for time.

Thanks for the feedback guys. You don't have to have your trailer loaded (I guess, if you really don't want to, c'mon!), but units will be judged as a combo.

Heavy Haulin' is all about the combo. You can have a lowboy heavy haul ready truck, but if you have a reefer behind it, that makes it look horrible.

I agree. Keep it simple. One photo, one combo, one Official Heavy Haul Master. 10-4

Yeah, I might not be in the running in this one either, unless another FS 2013 lowboy comes out between now and the 19th.
The one I got was absolute junk.

I doubt I'll finish a whole trailer and a load in time for the due date, I didn't realize it's not even 2 weeks. I don't think anyone will unless they already have the stuff made or they just lego build the trailer with ivan's lowboy and slap some heavy shit on their truck.

That was my point...even tho i'm going to be laid off next week...I Dont...and wont spend the entire week modding...I do it as a hobby, not a job or side job. I'll be interested in what everyone comes up with, just sad part is, I bet none of it will be released. Happy Modding!

So with that being said out of all fairness to everyone and anyone that wants in Why dont we set the date to 2400 hours Sunday August 1st. That will give everyone a good fighting chance. I will Pm Dan incase he doesnt see this.

I bet none of it will be released. Actually, the trailer I'm going to use will be sometime in the near future. I guess I could release it for this to give people some hope!
