that's wanna say it too, that guy knew how to deal with everything, he even know how to power up and put up on the trailer that curb making machine! That man is a good employee for any company!
If you're going to be a heavy hauler don't worry about your paint job on your rig & if you're worried about your paint job then you don't need to be a heavy hauler
always love seeing some more trucking content ,, only thing i like more than actually driving a truck is watching other guys drive trucks ,, i am jealous of the truck , wish i could afford such a nice truck ,, always loved the peterbilt style ,, my truck was built in 1977 as a 359 flat top ,,sometime in 1978 it was rebuilt as a heavy hauler for an oil driller ,, it was given a bigger engine and a 3rd driving axle along with a driven steer axle ,, it's slow as an ox but has more pulling power than it can use ,,, my trailer is a 50 ton drop deck ,don't rightly remember who built it but i like the fold flat goose neck ,,my truck has a 75 ton winch behind the cab for just this purpose , connecting the trailer or loading dead equipment ,,i keep busy here in southwest iowa moving construction machinery and farm machinery for farmers who don't want to drive tractors on the highway
I just got my license this summer and been driving for about 7months now. Doing something like this would be so interesting and one day I’d love to give it a try
Hi Bruce, I am a 75yr old retired trucker with lots of experience throughout Europe and worked in the US between March 96 and January 01. I am fascinated by your love for Scania trucks. What does surprise me is that you haven't picked up a bonnetted model. Do you have future plans to get one. Keep the videos coming.
@@realkilju Those trucks with a single axle can carry up to 70 tons with two trailers, with 5 axles in Holland they can legally carry 50 tons. They are European trucks, not American junk.
Watched an episode of Svenska Truckers (Swedish Truckers) where one of the guys featured on the show had a generator station on his trailer. Total weight of nearly 170 tons, or something like that. That's roughly 375000lbs. Volvo power baby! The standard Swedish truck and trailer combination has a max gross weight of 141000lbs so 120000lbs isn't very heavy for our standrards ;)
its more to prevent it from going side to side. if the equipment has a way to lock it in, then you don't need a chain. except for certain cercumstances. But every attachment needs a chain, incase the bucket comes off, be it back hoe or skid loader.
The boom can go up or move to the side if its not properly secured. I just started with ATS and they had a bridge strike where the boom moved and it hit the bridge.
Timelapse trucker RU-vid channel is the way to go for super heavy haul… tri drive C500 with a Texas winch bed on the truck. Hauls 230,570lbs or 104,560KGs on the scale. 😂😂 Canada oil patch work
as the great guy from indiana says. when in doubt throw another chain. i'd be more worried about the condition of your securement, then the securement itself.
Nice video as usual! Next time it would be a lot cooler to show you guys actually driving through traffic and making all the turns etc! Mount a gopro facing forward on whatever your hauling so we can watch
Def not loading and chaining down in 5 mins, but maybe some idiots will believe you. You can tell Bruce hasn’t done much heavy haul if this is what he considers heavy, lol, but he’ll learn in time what heavy really is.
Everyone has to learn somewhere. 🤷♂️ I'm pretty sure that you didn't pop out of the womb and go straight to driving truck and hauling a 80k lb excavator around! 🤠
Hay i was just thinking if blue coller stays you should put some lights on the front and get onr of those towing things that tim Gentry has and turn it in to a tow and recovery rig branch off and make a new chanel
Yeah, with the setup and load he has, it's just a fully loaded truck in North America. Nothing special at all. Bruse is the type of driver that comes into my office every week. A know nothing know it all. I file those resumes under G for garbage.
@@havocreaper2404 ok. 😂. It’s the bridges and narrow winding roads here in norway that restrict the load to max 60 ton and max lenght 25,25 meters.. But of cource we have wider,bigger heavy loads that requires permit / follow car / closing the road etc…
@@svimmelmc yeah same here, last week for me it was 32 feet high 27 feet wide 42 meters long on a hydraulic platform weighing 220,000KG gross next week the same thing ish just heavier 350K Bruce's so called heavy haul turck would leve its guts on the road within a kilometer. That is if he could get it out of the yard onto the road. ( not likely)
This is awesome, but 120.000 pounds isnt really a lot tho? Normal commercial trucks in norway are rated for 60 tons (which is about 120.000 pounds) and thats just regular driving of goods. Special transports can be upwards of 200.000 pounds and not consider «that extraordinary». Are american trucks and/or roads just weaker?
Where is the 120k pounds ? Neither of those moves was 120k pound load. I know this because Im actually a heavy hauler myself. I do it for a living and. I need to start posting videos of my day to day. Moving 115k pound rock crushers on a 60’ trailer and cat 490’s and long reach track hoes … The real fun stuff…
Great video! Do you have a video that you talk about your equipment and specs? What kind of equipment is required to haul heavy hauls?Maybe you can make one if not.. thanks 😎🤘🏽
