***Installition***
***************
Make sure everything has the same rotation!
- Rez a Lusch Hermes or Ajax
- Click the truck and select edit mode, turn it on
- Rez the AT Dry Freight Addon
- Press CTRL B, the Build Window appears
- Use Shift click to select the addon, and after it, the truck
- Press link
- You now have a Dry freight truck!

After you have linked the dry freight addon to the truck, you may also rez and link the lift gate addon and rollup door addons to it!
If you add rollup door, unlink and remove the regular doors

There are 5 preset lengths available:
Full length contains all 3 middle length pieces and it is the longest
A standard 40ft length, same as a shipping container, has 2 middle length pieces
A 25ft length, has 1 middle piece
A 22ft length has a specially edited middle piece to fit to the Hermes/Ajax truck
A 12ft length, that has no middle pieces, just back and front piece

The addon alligns itself to the rear light object of the Hermes/Ajax truck, if you want a longer addon to fit, simply move this light prim back, and lengthen the chassis, or add more axles!
on the Ajax truck it is known that the cab may more likely to intersect with the box addon's end due to its longer size, especially the sleeper cab. Just lengthen the chassis to fix this

Advanced explaination:
The dry freight addon is made of 3 types of pieces, the back which is the root prim, the middle piece, and the front piece.
It comes with three middle pieces linked to it, you can unlink either, just make sure they remain named as FreightMid1 through 3
Once you are done with unlinking and linking, make sure the middle pieces are named the following:
FreightMid1, FreightMid2, FreightMid3, and they exist in that order from back to front!
So if you have three, have all three named accordingly, if you have only one, then should have a Mid1 only, if you have two, Mid1, and Mid2 should exist.

You do not need to position anything, just link them and name them, once the flatbed is linked to your trailer chassis it will automatically set everything up.

The Freight Addon can also carry SCS compatible cargo. It carries cargo when attached to a towing vehicle, and drops cargo when unhitched from the towing vehicle.

Turn objects into cargo by putting the included cargo follow script into them.

Door opens and closes if you stand near it while clicking it
