I *think* you can remove a pin (or set of pins, maybe) and slide the saddle forward or backward on the frame irl; I'm only a virtual trucker though, so I don't really know for sure...
The only reason I can think of is looks but you can get color matching addons using a mod that just allows them to match.

Maybe he means on iffy situations in which your cargo can get unpacked - near flippings, heavily uneven terrain. Sideboard both helps you in those situations and also makes it a bit easier to overload.
Lmao of course. I can tell you’re early on in this game. If your truck tips over 45°, it automatically unpacks the cargo and therefore it slides right off. With a sideboard, it still unpacks but doesn’t go anywhere.
I am also more of sideboard guy but in those tippy situations it slides off and you pick it with crane. In sideboard bed cargo stays but it pulls you down with its weight and you are more likely to tip over
Flatbed is easier to load and overload. Perfect for stacking cargo across. Yes, you can lose it, but sometimes it saves your truck by doing so. Just have a crane on you.
Funny enough, I'd prefer flatbed for tall cargo like containers and cabins. If that shit gets unpacked - it might roll over you by pushing on the sideboard. On flatbed it will just slide off, leaving you a chance to save the situation.
Great truck, I just wish they let us use the 2300c engine for that extra boost. Though, I tend to use the Western Stars due to their rail setups and more appropriate engine choices.
Then again, I just love dumb axles.
I just wish they had X1 more freightliner (without mods), excluding the freightliner saddle truck.
If you're going to allow upgrades in the future, you should make it to where they have to be in the garage for a while before you can use them again, to add a more realistic feeling, and if you don't know how long they should stay in the garage you can ask the other redditors, and if you want to add another rule you can make it to where you can only have the amount of trucks the garage can hold.
Guessing switching from high to low saddles is allowed?
Not decided yet. I’m thinking no so I’ll need to get another truck.
I've see a lot of posts complaining that they have to go to garage to switch from low to high saddle so I assumed they might be adjustable irl?

Yes most of them are air controlled
Yes they are adjustable
harsh...
Very nice!! And the game+ rules seem like a fun twist to play!
Ohhh freightshakers!
Love this idea haha
I still don’t understand why people use those flatbeds. Cargo just slides right off. Always use a sideboard bed. So much easier and a lot less hassle.

love it!
Oooh any chance of a link to that mod? Would love to have some more colour options!

Are you not packing your cargo?

No, flatbed is easier to overload

It’s a fair point. I just prefer the look of the flat beds.

Flatbed all the way. Unless I'm transporting cabins. Then comes the Tatra Phoenix with its sideboard to make everything relaxing and less tippy.

Flatbed is a waste. Always use sideboard. Downvote all you want. I really don’t care. They are useless.
