Long Combination Vehicles: American Truck Simulator
Long Combination Vehicles (LCV), or simply Doubles, are configurations of trailers requiring two or more trailers to be added to the truck to lengthen the size of the load in American Truck Simulator.
Summary
Long Combination Vehicles challenge the driver's skills by driving them on roads, maneuvering them and parking them on the hardest difficulty. US federal government only regulates the Interstate Highway System and does not set maximum length restrictions. But other roads are regulated by individual states. American Truck Simulator follows these rules to a certain degree. Additionally, restictions also apply for some single unit trailers with a length of 53 feet, currently only in the state of California.
When a player buys a length restricted trailer it can only be assigned to a garage in a state that allows this type.
