why not add a mix between that wall and a road to connect that motel to the highway? for example something like this
-------wall----{road}-----wall------

very funny

The title says it all. it will be a lot of help in terms of planning buying a house (eg. buying a 1 slot housse near a truck park) is an example of the utility.

My 2 cents.

Weighing - "I NEVER Overload" to a trucker, is the same as "I am Innocent" to an Inmate.  Being weighed is part of driving a truck.  If you can't deal with being weighed, don't drive a truck.  It is part of the real world.  But you say, "This isn't RL".  Well then, why don't you just drive across the water in your flower covered bicycle pulling a trailer full of auto parts.  It is meant to represent RL.  If you want to take out weighing, then give the cops working radar so that we can catch speeders ANYWHERE.  Give us the ability to detain your vehicle while we check that your paperwork is in order and do safety inspections.  Or to even the score, you take out weighing for cops, take out arctic/Dumper missions from truckers.  What?  You say that isn't fair?  So what you ARE saying is that you want to take away from Cops jobs and give nothing in return.

Camping - This is nothing but another form of "You have to play the game my way or you?re wrong."  I did this in RL.  You have no idea why cops camp in RL if you have never been one.  I use to park in spots of heavy speeding to slow traffic down.  We parked in different areas to catch speeders in high traffic areas trying to "Make good time" and remote areas where "Nobody will know".  We parked in spots to just take a break from constant driving but still be doing our jobs and catch up on some paperwork.  We were often told by the Sheriff, and more so now days not to drive as much to save fuel costs.  Cruising has its uses, yes, BUT so does parking in certain spots.  Different agencies have different priorities.  City Police go from call to call and have very little time to sit and do traffic.  State Troopers are primarily traffic and highway enforcement.  They park and cruise the highway.  And a County Deputy, what I was, have the ability to do both.  Mind you, this pertains to where I live.
As a trucker, you go from destination to destination.  As a cop, you don't.  You want us to drive all over the map looking for you.  Guess what?!??!  If I stay in one spot, YOU will drive by ME.  If you know that you are going to get fined when you drive by Bone County, you are less likely to incur large fines before you get there.  OR, you might decide to try to avoid that area entirely.  Thus as a driver, get this, you have to THINK a bit.  Therefore my presence there is serving a purpose.  Just because YOU don't like it, does not mean it is wrong.

Excellent explanation dude, i agree in every word of it

[snake u can try to buy a steering wheel control to make those trucking games more fun (especially ETS or ET --wich are the most realistic-- with grafic settings low due your pc) ive done it and it makes the game really cool , and i think the old 18 WOS series (long haul, haulin, convoy, etc) are compatible with old pc changing the grafic settings to minimun. UK and German truck simulator doesnt have the option to use minimun settings]

if your bored snake then stop playing the game for a bit and try doing something else

just did it, today
ive finished adventure game called Outcry aka Sublustrum in 2.5h
tried ETS - it lags too much, too much boring.. same with 18 wos ET,
i have too poor pc for the newest games, so what can i play on it ?
im doing 50 missions/day @ ct to be active still but not get bored

I have the same problem than u>> i have a pc that runs gta SA and the MP servers but not run the new games   except gta4 in wich ive made a miracle to run it properly

((((((sorry for going out of topic))))))


i dont know what happened to the letters color :0

1) in my opinion the weight checks are fine as they are and they defenitely MUST be made by cops because who else will do it? 
2) thinking about doing the weightchecks through other ways the only thing that comes to my mind is using the weight plataforms on side of roads for trucks like IRL but everyone will make a shorcut through grass or dirt to evade them.
3) 1.5 k is nothing when u have millions in wealth but is something to cover the fuel expenses of "no-camp-cops".
4) i think sometimes that there are somethings in real life that we allways want to be in a game but in some cases its better to let things "unrealistic" than try hard to script something that will make the game complicated and loose its fun.

*i must say that i have never been a cop and wont be one in a near future

1-bougth a barracks coz i though it have more top speed than the flatbed (only reaches luckly the top speed of a linnerunner) so i sold it minutes later.
2- got distracted when reaching the WC docks in the ferry so the time to get off passed and i went back to LS (made 3 travels on ferry at once).

What?? USA is not first??     maybe thats because their kids loves to kill and go to deathmatch servers instead of enjoy quiet and relaxing convoy travels
