PYT - Early Mixed Cargo Trucks
Four early trucks that carry FOUR kinds of cargo at once: a 1890 horse-drawn van, a 1925 flatbed, a 1939 dropside and a 1950 eight-wheeler. Every slot takes bulk, liquid, goods or flatbed cargo -- one truck, one trip, a mixed load.
What it does
Grain, fuel, tools and planks — in the same truck, on the same trip. Four early trucks from 1890 to 1985, each with four cargo slots, and every slot takes bulk, liquid, goods or flatbed cargo. One truck, one trip, a mixed load.

The game's trucks carry one kind of cargo at a time: a tanker for fuel, a tipper for grain, a flatbed for planks. Feeding a town that wants four things means four lines, or one truck that waits around. These trucks just load what's waiting — up to four kinds at once — and drop each one where it's wanted.

Why is Load Manager included?
Here's a little secret about these trucks. 😄
I originally wanted an easier way to manage cargo loading on trains and other vehicles. Then I had a thought: why can't trucks carry a proper mix of cargo too?
So we built the mixed-cargo trucks!
The funny thing is, Load Manager was the idea that inspired them in the first place. The trucks made it out into the world first, but the loader was always the reason behind them.
So it only seems fair to package them together. Now you can experience the trucks the way I originally imagined them.
Four cargo types. One truck. Precise loading at every stop.
And if you prefer the original loading controls, you can switch Load Manager off in the mod settings.
Enjoy!

Auf Deutsch: Ein kleines Geheimnis über diese Lkw. Ich wollte ursprünglich eine einfachere Art, das Beladen von Zügen und anderen Fahrzeugen zu steuern. Dann kam der Gedanke: Warum können Lkw nicht auch eine echte Mischung an Fracht laden? So entstanden die Mixed-Cargo-Lkw! Lustigerweise war der Load Manager die Idee, die sie überhaupt erst angestoßen hat. Die Lkw kamen zuerst heraus, aber der Lader war immer der Grund dahinter. Deshalb ist es nur fair, beides zusammen zu verpacken. So erlebt ihr die Lkw, wie ich sie mir ursprünglich vorgestellt habe: vier Ladungsarten, ein Lkw, genaues Beladen an jedem Halt. Und wer die ursprünglichen Ladeeinstellungen vorzieht, schaltet den Load Manager vor dem Laden in den Mod-Einstellungen aus. Viel Spaß! Epod
How it works
- Four slots per truck. Each slot takes bulk, liquid, goods or flatbed cargo — the truck's window shows all four specializations.
- Set the mix on each stop's Load panel — the game's own panel. Pick the cargos, give each a share, and the truck fills its slots to match.
- Worth buying as a plain truck too: fair, vanilla-style speed, power and capacity for its era. The mixed load is the bonus.

- Neu in 1.1: alle Lkw laden jetzt mit der Universal-Geschwindigkeit (halb so schnell wie Spezial-Lkw) – flexibel, aber langsamer. Der Lkw von 1925 und der Pritschenwagen von 1939 zeigen ihre Abbiegerichtung mit beleuchteten Winkern.
- Jeder Ladeplatz nimmt Schüttgut, Flüssiggut, Stückgut oder Langgut auf — ein Lkw, eine Fahrt, gemischte Ladung.
- Die Mischung stellt ihr im Ladefenster jeder Haltestelle ein (das Fenster des Spiels).
- Pferdegezogener Lieferwagen (1890) mit Kutschenlaternen bei Nacht, Pritschen-Lkw (1925), Pritschenwagen (1939) und Achtrad-Lkw (1950).

Latest update
1.2 — THE LOADER COMES ALONG
The trucks always carried four cargos. Now they bring the clipboard that decides what goes where. Nothing to hunt for, nothing to install: it is in the box.
In plain terms: the PYT - Load Manager is built into this pack, the download is about 24 MB lighter, and the trucks are cheaper to draw from far away.
- New: the Load Manager is built in — a Loads card in every freight line's window with a slider for each stop, a Load Manager button in a vehicle's window, and an overview page behind the PYT button. Set each stop to load one cargo, a mix, or nothing at all; Smart fill leaves one-cargo stops alone. No other mod is needed
- New: you can switch it off. Don't want it? Open the mod manager, pick this mod and set PYT: Load Manager to Off before you load the game. Nothing of the Load Manager shows and nothing of it runs; the vehicles, their loading and their look are untouched. It is On by default
- Plays well with others: the Load Manager is the tool inside the standalone mod PYT - Load Planner, and this pack carries its own copy of it. If you install PYT - Load Planner too, it runs the Load Manager and this copy stays quiet. With several PYT mixed-cargo mods, only one copy runs, so nothing ever shows twice
- Lighter: the shop pictures are compressed without losing a pixel (about 24 MB off the download), and the trucks' far-away models are simpler — about two thirds fewer triangles from 400 m — which helps big fleets
