Follow a heavy haul trucker on his back road journey all the way from Montreal to San Antonio! 

I ve been driving for 30 years and I'm still impressed with your skill and patients. good for you!

It's so impressive watching you back up these trailers I understand it's takes a lot of practice but it's still impressive keep them coming 👍

When you mentioned to your escort about comments not being negative...that is absolutely the right way to handle teaching someone how to work better with you. Classy way to handle things man...an example to follow for sure.

I just found this channel a week or so ago and now have watched quite a few of his videos. I am not in this industry. So for someone like me this guy is great. He makes it a learning experience and entertaining with all the excellent explanations he provides. Aside from the content itself, the "production" of these videos IMHO is among the best. From the usage of many camera angles to show what is happening all around to the use time lapse when appropriate combined with the always great selection of music this is a great channel.

Have to laugh at a few of those Quebec drivers 😅But seriously, what incredible skill to watch driving down those narrow back roads. Love the dynamic between you and your spotter. He really seems eager to learn which is huge.

THANKS FOR THE RIDE AS ALWAYS GREAT DRIVING EVERY SINGLE TIME , WITH ALOT OF LOW WIRES AND TREES AND SOME BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY SIDES , ALONG WITH ALL THAT TRAFFIC BACKED UP ABOUT A MILE LONG , WITH SOME GREAT ESCORTS , I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO SEE THESE ALL THOSE PLACES IN PERSON SO THANKS AGAIN FOR THE RIDE , ALL THE WAY FROM HAWAII , TAKE CARE SEE YOU ON THE NEXT ONE , KEEP ON TRUCKING!!!

I find it fun that your the only Quebec trucker on RU-vid ,that I found, and also loved the fact that in Saint-Jean, I knew exactly on witch street you were and where you were. I love in Saint-Jean, that’s why 😊

Man.....unreal how easily you back that truck up. Other truckers must bow to you!!!

Nice to see the early dialog between you and the pole/escort regarding how to do things and his attitude towards such commentary. This helps him learn if necessary, and just as important, it helps him understand how you think which makes it easier for him to prepare for what you'll want.

Thank you for keeping us up on your location! I love when you point out the scenery! I also like knowing your weight and length !

"just needs a few more gears", no kidding it needs a splitter, your revs are all over the place! great job backing that thing into the warehouse, i've done it lots with an 18 and a few times with pups but nothing like that trailer/jeep love the long format and great job on the editting

Another great video. Thankyou.

Another good one. Thanks, Doug.

Great Vid Doug Thank's For The Ride Along.

Great watching your videos I live in Florida heading to Montreal in October i will bring you a gift card Doug keep up the great job

Always fun watching these. Cant wait to get on the road myself. Fingers crossed im going to take my CDL test this Wednesday. Time to get the ball rolling.

ty good music and good scenery loving it

You're the man, keep the great videos coming !!!!!

I love watching you get that rig through these little towns on your journeys and like watching your videos thanks

Another enjoyable ride-along with you. Always a few challenges along the way to keep thngs interesting. Thank you for sharing. 👍

Good job Doug. That was great trip.

Very impressive backing up.💪

It amazes me how easy you make this look Doug. Another beautiful drive!! Thanks for letting us tag along!

The train of the week!!. Whats a trip ! good job. Greeting from germany

New Ringgold! I know that area well Great videos! Keep em coming!

Thanks Doug from La Crete Alberta. I’ve enjoyed a number of your trips this winter and appreciate your cool, calm collected manner! May our Lord keep you safe on the highways and byways🤠🤠

Doug , Doug here , I remember my days on the road , you my friend are a total professional and make it look so easy and do it in two languages. Your so smooth and cool . I'd love to take a trip with you someday but until then be safe .DDDDDOUG

Another fantastic video

I like the lookout that does not mind you giving comments, glad he did not take it as critique, also kudos to the crane operators being able to move these things with such precision, and of course the driver getting it to the location in the first place.

I thoroughly enjoy your videos Doug. Your patience is amazing in your job.

Keep on commin' One of your best videos.... I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Nothing like pushing a string (0:55). Nice work !

Those heavy haul trailers are awesome piece of engineering

I did the same detour with a 36' fifth wheel at 13 ft 6" and that was interesting enough with some of the lines. So I know how mentally taxing at 15 ft will be. Interesting routing.

hey what a driver

I really enjoy these LBHH! Your skill at operating the oversize rigs is truly Impressive! The videos are well made, thanks!

Good job Doug! Very impressed of your talent. Was thinking...all those light poles, if you hit them they light up just like a pinball game machine.

Having lived in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for 71 years , and driven a truck for 40 of them, I can relate to it being the middle of nowhere in places. Be safe. 🚛

I love driving Kentucky. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for telling us where you are at when you can. ❤

Just came back on the last hour of the video. Great views. Just googled the distance, which was 2,500 miles one way. I do that on a two week holiday whether at an area of Europe, or the UK🤣. Stay safe Doug, and keep the videos coming in

I truly enjoy these videos, Doug. Keep them coming....... You all earn every cent they pay you and then some!

It's a very impressive haul. Let's see some stopping for breaks and overnight. It's an important part of the trip because of the things you have to do.

Good to see that some segments of our economy are still working.

Thanks for a good trip Doug. first time through that area for me, i only drove in Halifax, New Brunswick, and NFLD. Halifax NS

Hi Doug ich bin ein Trucker aus Germany ich finde deine Video sehr toll und zieh meinen Hut vor deiner Arbeit. Wünsche dir immer eine gute Fahrt

Really well done, Doug. I live in San Antonio and I'm impressed with your driving skills through the back roads into the city!

Good job Dougie good job 🎉

Another great video

keep them comin... i look for them.

2 fking hours ! just wow ! Thanks, you make a positive change in my day every time you upload something ! i maybe the only one to say it but, im pretty sure some others are thinking the same !

Holy god young man! Great backing skills, I use to back up super Bs. Lol you make it look so easy. Safe journeys

Hi Doug as always an amazing video of a very challenging journey and so great to see some of the amazing scenery you share in your travels and credit to the amount of time and extra effort you put into your videos so wishing you safe miles cheers from tim in queensland australia ( keep on trucking as heavy haulage is the best job ever and always my favourite )

Ich mag deine Video sehr und freue mich über jedes neue. Hab einen grossen respeckt vor deinen fahrkünsten. Liebe grüsse aus der Schweiz

As a retired driver I enjoyed every minute of this! Glad I found your channel and you are an excellent driver!

Fascinating watching the countryside go by. It must take a lot of researching your route to avoid any grade changes along those back roads that would cause the trailer to hang up and bottom out, like railroad crossings and such.

Loved the video Doug, stay safe out there.

Backing that bit of wet spaghetti was quite ( VERY ) impressive . I still don't liker auto boxes lol ps BLODDY GOOD PILOT

Thanks for taking the time and effort to add the sub titles to these later videos. It makes them more enjoyable. Always impressed with the in Canada who yield to you. Do you ever deliver to PNW? Thanks for the videos!

I swear, I'd have that rig tied into a granny knot. great job sir.

Whooooaaaa bumping that power line at 56:57 made me pucker up a little.

Nice trip, ur patience with a new escort is a really nice so they learn how to do it right.

Great video so far Doug. As you explained about the road narrowing, and what we in the UK call the camber (the curvature), I can totally understand it. I have noticed that the load seems a touch "bouncy" (may be the camera that makes it look as if it moves), so obviously have to drive carefully. Some lovely pieces of real estate🤣. Must be very frustrating having to slow right down to get under the power lines though

This convoi exceptionnel you're a very impressive chauffeur I have done convoy section out in France in Europe from the UK

Just found this channel, and brother… You are HIM 🔥

The worst part is driving in Quebec. I have a regular delivery at the Maxi in St-Jean-Sur-Richelieu, just through the first lights where you turned left, and I hate the roads. There are no good driving roads in Quebec. The 30 used to be good bit even that garbage now

Bridge height and width might be something that should be revisited in North America. The size of machinery and structural parts has been going up, and contractors would most definitely increase the size further if they could. Fewer but larger parts makes for quicker assembly and reduces the amount of work that has to be done up high, or over water bodies. Its also easier to control quality in a factory than on a construction site. Newer bridges should be built with that in mind.

Hallo Doug you are a great driver I am a Trucker from Germany. You made very good Video. I love it see you on the next Video Greetings from Sterbfritz my hometown

Hey Doug, mabe your boss could look into the Volvo Turbo compound with the 14 speed automated comes with lo reverse and 3 top gears and be spec’d for what You Do. Glad for the new video 👍

i'm glad you missed the train... it looks like a long one.

Good video sir.

Once again love the video and your angles of it! And your great driving skills! So, what do your bosses think of your videos?? Keep’m coming!

Hi Doug, well you have done it again excellent video. You seem to go a lot of back road's were there is more danger i think like low cables, trees both sides, tight corners, double parking,. I would have thought motorways would be quicker. End of the day Doug it's what you know is best not me you live there I don't. Keep on trucking. Mike from UK 🇬🇧

Southern hospitality tour

I’m surprised you couldn’t west in Canada to skip the US NE 😮 But another top notch professional job!

Back in the days of farming we had a fairly new 1984 Mack R 686/350 9 speed day cab and a 34' EAST dumper with double side boards. Probably one of the shortest 18 wheel rigs you can do... But it would haul 110k gross corn out of the field... opps, I meant 80k... LOL!!! This stuff you're pulling is insane!!!

I’ve noticed through a lot of your videos you go between French & English very naturally. Did you grow up speaking both? Always love seeing the high level of expertise you bring to transporting oversized loads.

Hello from Alberta.

Hopefully with the longer trips you could split em into multi parts like the nago project with the vids still in same length of vids like that project did including leaving your guys yard to pickup and then various provinces and states that could be put into playlists.

Surprised you didn't take 81 straight thru to 40, but then again, a lot of mountains. Impressive work.

great driver

Really enjoy your videos, but for viewers at the other end of the world could you please give us some idea of the miles and time it takes to deliver some of the loads. Cheers take care drive safe John

You are good at what you do. So where in Kansas did you pick up the crane? I love these long videos. Be safe out there in your travels. 💙

Your backup skills are on another level! WOW... Talk about impressive! I am betting the reason for 3 pilots on a 2 lane road has to be laughable. About as hilarious as not being able to be on the freeway with school buses!

Awesome

je viens de découvrir ta chaine, respect, vraiment. quand jai vue montreal dans le titre, je pensais que tu conduisais dans le centre ville de MTL, sa me soulage que c'étais pas le cas haha, vraiment l'enfer de conduire la bas vue que je reste pas trop loin de la. Bon courage pour les prochaines routes

The logistics of not only the driving, but the permitting, pilot car coordination, police escort, and knowing what federal, state, county, and city regulations there are is mind boggling.

You were in my neck of the woods in PA! I will never understand why oversize loads get routed through small towns like that!

Hey brotha I came across your channel great video’s learning a lot from them about turning I’m paying very close attention to how you maneuver around corners etc I been in the industry for ten years now just started flatbed last year got tired of Refrigerated freight wanted to do something more exciting then just bumping docks Hope to meet you one day be safe Your flatbed brotha Mr.Sinnizter

1:22:29 DAAAAMMMMNNNN!!!!.... These permit guys are crazy, look at this narrow road! It looks like a neighbor street, not a road... I think they doesn't like you, Doug, i bet hahahahaha

Lol, I pulled down a temporary power line to a new prison in my treespade. Blacked out the prison for two hours. I'm sure they had generators but they were not happy.

very impressive driving skills, you make it look easy! how many miles to the gallon do you get, pulling a load like that?

Another interesting journey and load. I find it funny how so many 4 wheelers see you coming and just have to get in front of you instead of waiting a minute !!

combien de temps aller et retour j ai un beau frères qui reste a San Antonio de Montréal salut a prochaine bonne vidéo super👍👍🖐

Love your videos - really impressive. You are extremely skilled and seem to have an outstanding amount of patience and professionalism. I’m super curious tho - I can’t figure out what the alphanumeric values are that you have listed in the video descriptions. What are they?

Thanks for the memories through P.Q. The heavy haul would have been easier with critical position cameras in the 70's and 80's for us back then. And the up to date Navaides

I hope you stopped for some good southern food while on the road.

1:29:44 🎼🎶🎹"Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads" 🎹🎵🎶🎼🎧🎤🎷📻🎸🪕 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Very impressive is it like backing a transfer ?

I watched before the captions had time to load, your sound for voice while driving is coming through on left channel only which makes it hard to understand for my hard of hearing self it would be great if both channels were utilized 😁

2 hours of skills to watch how did we deserved that?! It's so weird to see you speaking french in the Canada. In Switzerland we also speak French to despite German and Italian but France is right next to us, thats something else.
