ATS - Hauling a Volvo Tipper through the mountain route to Thompson Falls
@SCS Software recently tweeted a challenge - what's the biggest cargo that someone has taken across their new twisty off-road trail challenge to ThompsonFalls in the latest Montana map DLC.
I like those sorts of challenges - it doesn't say "HAUL HVY" on my truck license plate for laughs, you know!
So, I found a freight job to take an articulated Volvo tipper weighing 22t on a triple-bogey trailer setup - no chance or reversing out of trouble if any came my way - and set off. The whole rig weight 44t and was somewhere between 50ft and a bazillion miles long.
Along the way, I change gearboxes and also give the Sun a shove forward a few hours to give everyone a better view. Not only of the trail, but also the new mountain goat plushie on the passenger seat - another secret-ish Montana bonus!
