Lizard End Dump Bulk Trailer + Pup Trailer v1.1

DESCRIPTION

V1.1 Changelog:
- Fixed issue with pup not being able to be loaded from a silo
- Fixed file path error in log
- Updated mudflaps to have rubber texture
- Update mudflap Lizard logo
- Added configuration to remove mudflap logo
- Added wheel chocks to pup trailer

Tip: Lower the lift axle on the pup trailer to reduce sliding when loaded

For those who are wondering why there are so many axles:
In Michigan, trucks are allowed to weigh 164,000 lbs and have 11 total axles (8 trailer axles). The axles can carry no more than 15,000 lbs each to prevent road deterioration. The allowance of 164,000 lbs is double the Federal law of 80,000 lbs. Since trucking is a big part of the Michigan economy, this law reduces the number of trucks, reduces fuel consumption, and lowers freight cost.

I am still looking into the possibility of getting this mod on console.

Thanks everyone who reported issues. Please report if you find any more. Enjoy

You are wrong on Michigan's axle weight limits, but for everyone here, it probably really doesn't matter. I have hauled loads with 11 axles here in Michigan for over 40 years. The actual way to set up the trailers, is to have a 3 axle lead, 2 axle converter, and 3 axle pup. Base plates for Michigan are 160,000 pounds. You can get away with 164,000 is perfectly loaded with the 4% load adjustment. Trailer axles are not 15,000, but only 13,000 per axle. Tractor steer axle are 20,000 if using the wi
