Glad to see we have a Mario Lemieux in trucking calm who makes everyone work together to be at their best. That's called leadership and being humble makes yourself and everyone on your team better. I never comment but this is old school new school and something anybody in any field of work can learn from.
Wow, thanks for the ride along. Whew, I’m exhausted watching this! The tight turns, narrow bridges, and those busy intersections! You keep your cool, but I’m nervous for you. Hello from Houston Texas.
Wow love your job drove tractor traders for 15 years From refrigeration traders to flat beds doubles drops Never afforded the ability to drive what you drive you guys are awesome.. Always wanted to drive over dimension. Have ailments now Don't driv.. Keep up the good work. Stay safe God be with you all
Pretty damn good driving. The pilots and spotters also damn good, on the ball and on the move. Street traffic out of control will screw up a move quickly. What a crazy route for sure. Keep up the vids. Another guy with Orange equipment is Frontier Heavy Haul, mainly moves biggg equipment,
@Lucky Banana Heavy Haul, another great video, you have some incredible driving skills and situational awareness, super cool music too. What is the gvw and overall length of this type of haul. Thanks for replying to my and others comments. Your a very cool dude… Stay safe out there…
I am a new subscriber to your channel, very impressed with your driving talent. Stayed up half of the night watching your older videos, I live in the San Diego area. Stay safe out there
A year late for my comment, but definitely another great video....my repeated compliments, Doug. Unfortunately, though, the view through the windshield from inside the bunk, makes it look like you're driving through a blizzard at time....absolutely no contrast between the road, the traffic, the trees etc. It would be nice if the camera could be repositioned to the passenger-area of the cab.
The algorithm showed me these, and I've been binging a dozen or so of your videos so far; great content, great professionalism, and a great insight into what goes into getting things like this from A to B :) A question about 52:00, it takes quite some time to clear the tracks; do you coordinate things like this with the railroad company? I don't know how often that crossing closes, but here in the Netherlands we have crossings that see dozens of trains a day (the ones that see dozens of trains an hour are mostly replaced with tunnels and bridges by now).
The angles on some of the cameras in this vid were fantastic!! I have a couple questions. Seeing the Pin on setup on that truck makes me all giddy inside!!! 1. I have to know the specs on your Starcar! Huge fan. What motor and tranny do you have in it? 2. With regards to raising and lowering the tower for certain areas. I understand center of gravity and all but it doesn't seem to be bad enough. Why cant you just keep the load sitting a little higher to avoid adjustment mid route?
Thanks for watching! Cummins 565hp, 18 speed manual, 3:90 gears, 14k steer and 46k rears The load is already maxed out on the permit at 15’8”. The higher we go the more wires and trees and stuff we run into. Running high loads in the northeast isn’t like the Midwest. Anything over 15’ is a pain in the butt!
Sa fais au moin une dixaine de video que je regarde la route que ta pris ses la route pour aller chez moi a st jean haha nice video je capote bin raide a regarder tes videos ses les regandant que je me dit que sa serais mon reve de faire des transport hors norme ou du commun fais 5 ans je suis dans le remorquage transport
Amazing how something like this can move down a regular street. About 25 years ago I was working in Levis Quebec and there was a large piece of equipment being moved in the night to the Ultramar Refinery, a separator I believe built in Saudi Ariba. Watching at 2am as they went by the hotel I was at. A crew going ahead to raise wires and remove traffic lights and another behind to replace them. Those trailers had lots of wheels.
Hi, do you plan all critical turns in advance in details as a team? the planning seems interesting, with the loking system of the trailers etc. Watche d a few videos it would be super interesting to have some basic information as text or speech as to what some of is happening ; like, how is the back trailer controlled, is it someone in a truck behind with a remote? Great videos, dunno why Im enjoying them quite some : ) merci de prendre le temps de monter ces vidéos , c'est trippant. un gars d laurentides
How do you know what radio to grab? I get having multiple radios as I’ve hauled OD local with pilots, but we all speak English, all monitor the same 3 frequencies but I always had to think what mic to grab and you do it effortlessly. 14’2 at 53’ long is enough for me for sure.
@@landongeist7131 no mechanic. By Law New York requires us to carry spare tires and you can see them on the front of the trailer. I have basic tools to repair minor stuff but we will call a service truck for anything major.
I find hills hard to film. The camera doesn’t capture how steep the hill is. Everything still looks flat on a pretty good grade. I’ll need to work on that.
Maybe, 1 camera up ahead looking down the hill for grade refernece and 1 camera in cab. Probably not much to see as most super heavy stuff the climbing gear is selected at the bottom to save errors and minimise strain on the vehicle... I think
@RA-cg9co has to be an extremely steep grade for me to select at the bottom. Most of the time I’ll shift her right down into the little gears. That being said my new truck is an automatic so…. 🤷🏼♂️
It depends on the rules for which state you are working in. In a lot of states it is written on the permit that you can’t hold up traffic for longer than a specified time. The New York police escorts we were working with forced us to stop when traffic was too backed up.
Were you born with a gear shift in your hand? You don't look old enough to have accumulated that much experience. How many hours and how many miles was this trip? Company just north of us that build some of the wind towers: Clinton, IL.
Lol appreciate it. My father drives truck so I guess you could say I have as much experience around trucks as I do walking this planet! 750 miles each way. Took about 10 days to do the round trip. Lots of wasted time with travel restrictions and mostly on secondary highway and back roads. We were too big for the interstate.
