Montreal REM Train Heavy Haul 

I was on the first rem train on the 29th of july! Il never forget that!

I saw this convoy heading up route 80 in NJ. This is so cool to see the video to what I saw in person

Hey Doug, I meet your dad the other day. I was delivering a load in Columbus for Machinex and your dad was also delivring there. I help him to roll his tarp and had a nice chat with him. Cool guy! Love the video and keep up the good work!

Another grand hour of watching your video. That wheel didn't have much left to it. Glad you caught it before it took the scenic route.

That was a crazy route . That rim had been on there for a minute or two,,,, lol.. Good job Doug and team !

Soo cool seeing you drive thru small towns i have friends in and trying to see if i can spot them in their cars 😂😂 that area of New York is beautiful in the fall. Glad they didnt send you thru the center of Glen Falls would have been rough 😅

Great video douglas longer trip videos are the best. Stay safe and warm

Hi Doug, You always wonder why they don't run the ship up to Montreal. APL goes there. Definitely a darned-sight easier than rolling through PA with all those lovely, picturesque towns with all those charming low-hanging wires and low bridges. LOL. Enjoy the sunshine.

Awesome video. Love to watch that giant crane in action. I enjoy all your videos. Thanks for posting!

I saw the space shuttle enterprise hauled down the middle of 5 lane highway. From Palmdale to Edward's back and forth, publicity stunt just to fix the tiles on it and get a wash it was dirty. Hundreds of people moving it, it was a huge parade at 2 miles an hour, tow trucks moving vehicles all night, set temp paper no parking signs up. Power Co to raise lines up. Workers raising stoplights up or removing them. Took em hours to re open road. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊 it's pretty big up close. I'd help moving be excavators etc.

Another great video showing you and your crews skills in crazy narrow streets. If you haven’t already done one we missed it would be great to see a segment from the pilot car as they look after the rear steer on the trailer. I am sure it is an art in itself. Cheers from Australia.

loved the great shots of Great Escape

That intersection getting onto Route 4 in Ft Edward can be a bugger. 25:44 Thanks for sharing!

Right on Doug, awesome video....👍🇨🇦

Impressive as always!!! 🤩🤩

Hey Doug !! Yepper !! Another great video !!! Your "BOSSMAN"" sure got his $$$$$ Worth out of the rim & Tire on the "JEEP"!! Have a good weekend & Thanks gain for the ride !!! 🤠😎🧐👍👍👍👍👍

Load and engine, especially in 😂the hills and jacking, as when the engine pulls less an automatic usually shift up, going downhill you have to shift down manually to get the rpm up for maximum engine brake performance. Thanks for another video, enjoying it.

Nice video very good driving have a great week

I grew up watching Silk Road Specialized come thru my home town hauling old beat-up subway cars on their big oversized trailers back in the early 80s. i remember the NYSP comin thru and blocking the road so the big trucks had room to turn. Stuff like that is what got me hooked on trucks and trucking. At almost 50 years old I would still give anything to get my CDL. Closest I have ever come was driving an M1A1 Abrams for the US Army lol!! You Make it look so much easier that they did back then. But trailer technology has come a long way since the early 80s!

At least it is a nice scenic route. Can't believe all those 40mph speed limits. Great drive.

That's pretty badass! I'm a rookie trucker. About to complete 100 hours with my trainer tomorrow. It blows my mind how precisely you guys control that monster trailer!

Keep up the great videos🎉🎉The county I live in Rt 9 runs through up to 3 lanes in each direction.

Another great video there sir! You truly have an awesome job. Thanks for sharing that with us man.

Great video. I live in the lake George area, so I new all the routes that you were taking. Excellent job

I love your channel I wish you had another new video but I found an older one , looks very interesting, I liked the last video the frenchman that brought up the rear was quiet until he wasn't and the man in front always has a scratchy sounding radio.

I understand, I love your videos!!!

Thanks again for another great/fun video. I spent 20 years driving thru Queensbury[ Glens Falls] , Fort Edward, and Hudson Falls to get on the Northway. Just after you got on RT 9 North you met asouth bound International pulling a step deck loaded with granite monuments. First tim I have seen a company truck in a YT video.

Great job bringing that train car thru fort Edward and Hudson Falls, two small villages with tight streets. Nice turn at 4&32, you pass within 1 of where i live when you passed the john deere dealer on 32. We ship a few large loads like that out of weld fabrication that i work for. Keep the videos coming i enjoy them.

I always give you guys plenty of room & much respect...you would think there would be a way to rail those cars closer to their destination...😛

Your camera placements are cool. Your safety drivers are doing a great job too.

Hey Douglas.....now your in my stomping grouds sort of...when u left ext 17 through Hudson Falls, Fort Edward, Dix Ave to Quaker Ave, 9 No., @ exit 21 to 87 North! Though I live on Rt 4 in VT I stll spent many a mile on the abouve route. LOve Vids and thay way you make it happen....to bad you could not use exit 19 or 20...Be Safe in your travels all the best to You and your fellow drivers....now go ice fishing somewhere! LOL

HI DOUG. ANOTHER GREAT JOB 👍 👌 I AM GLAD THAT YOU TOLD US THE NAME OF THE TOWN THAT YOU WERE GOING THROUGH..YOU SHOULD DO THAT MORE OFTEN 😉...BY THE WAY THANKS FOR ANSWERING MY QUESTIONS THE LAST TIME ABOUT THE ROUT YOU TRAVEL GOING BACK TO MONTREAL 🎉😊...

Ah we got you again Sir, good day.

Good one better than going up through Pa see you next video 😉😅

Drive that way to get home…I 80 from Jersey into Pa.,..get off first exit in Pa., Marshals creek

Hi, Doug another brilliant video. Don't know who does the music score for all the videos . They know what they are doing unlike other videos I've seen. Keep them wheels rolling.

yeah, don't mess with the weather. take some much needed rest.

I haul oversize myself and I tip my cap to you sir, I have a hard enough time worrying about what is needed to concentrate on while I have escorts and I only speak one language! Having to speak to different escorts in different languages would add another element! I’m just starting out doing heavy haul so I’m not at the level you are yet, but I really appreciate your videos when I’m waiting for weather or loads! Your buddy from Saskatchewan 👍✌️

Hi Doug it’s a shame you can’t go down to Ganesvoordt to Scott’s truck stop and get a good meal 😮

You sure get routed thru lots of twists and turns along with alot of small towns and narrow roads, from one Doug to another, good job Doug, love watching your journeys. DDDDDOUG

now the important thing to do is get the replacement tires back in order. and junk the bad tire.

It looks like in your run with the train car, the semi you were driving had an automatic transmission.

It's a good thing you were diesel powered, with the REM electric mode you would have been stuck multiple time during that move. ;)

Another great video now that you have had the automatic do you prefer it or the manual Thanks for keeping us entertained

If I gotta shift to low manually I might as well shift them all, I find that I have better control over the load and eb

Lucky Banana got law passed so he would have a job. He has a hunter painting too. Really, cheaper on dock or tax fees, follow the money. Or teamsters had to unload it😊😊😊😊😊😊 pinting

Good job Super Mario. Question, you drive an automatic transmission that I can see. If that's the case is it something that has improve trucking understanding you carry the most heaviest and oversize loads. In your opinion! You make the past Quebecers proud who worked hard. I no my father was a lineman for bell Canada from 1944 tell 1984. Keep on trucking.

Delaware water gap never looks as impressive on camera as it does in real life and by the way you were about a mile and a half from my house when you went through that toll plaza there!

Coming out of the port, what is the issue of running 287 to 87 and up the north way? That stretch up through East strousburg is no picnic. I just did the same thing to a wheel on my lowbed as you did.

👍👍👍

Sounds more like an Alison trans the way it shifts more then a regular auto shift style.. like it has a torque converter..

You mentioned the two radios and I picked up on the French speaking guy right before you explained it but from the cab view there are 3 mics …is the other a standard trucker radio…???

I'd like to see the interaction at the boarder crossings.

Another great video. The narrative is helpful. Thanks, Doug. Did you and your escorts have to change that tire or did you get other help?

I noticed you came in Pa on 80 then the next time I see you you’re on87 so what did you do run 380 to 81 to 88 to 87? If you have time please explain 🙏

How are you liking that auto shift, I may have missed if you had commented on it.

Doug, where was the rest area you stopped at with the flat tire?

The rim that broke, how often do things like that happen? Just a salt/rust/age thing or extra stress due to that type of load?

How did you go from I 80 west in Pa to I 87 ( NYS T-WAY)???

What's the name of the 2nd tune playing in your video Doug, when you was traveling along the river.

What brand trailer is that? Transmaster maybe?

Pourquoi NY quand il y a un port à Mtl??? Ça te fait travailler après tout. 😊

Where we're they made, and why new jerseys, we have a port in montreal.

Obviously some of the viewers never saw the video of hauling the Cat 18M Grader from Arkansas to Montreal where the wheel bearing had to be replaced. Just saying....

What kind of truck is that you are driving? International maybe? Those are known to be reliable.

Question,do you get road rage for holding up traffic

Another YT Heavy Haul guy said he ran aluminum wheels because they didn't crack like the steel ones did.

What's the screen you touch at 1:08:01?

I am new to your channel, but how did you come up with the name “Lucky Banana”?

Et puis, aimes-tu ca automatique? L'as-tu essayé dans la neige?

Questions at first? Was Dad a part of this Convoy? Was you last truck a manual? (since you made a transmission comment.) I'm your replay guy* I appreciate Doug's narrative as we drive. I usually have my seatbelt on and yet I'm not always sure where we are. @32:06 we are at Sprague Mermaid Pools, this is located on RT 4 aka Broadway (a little further north than where Doug could have done his laundry at the “Broadway Coin-Op.” We are in Ft. Edward, NY @38:20 Durrin Inc (the short bus) is a 45-year-old, family-owned business with the company office in Argyle, NY. @38:40 there is a stunning mansion. I don’t think it is a public home and if it is, it must s#ck having a bus stop in front. Doug said downtown Hudson Falls, NY. Please note at around @39:07 you can see the Rexall Drug store coming up on the right with their collapsible sidewalk sign suggesting flu shots et al. Please note what appears to be new construction/reno of the building to the left and it seems to be matched to those that are decaying…..decaying is a harsh word…..why don’t we try those that might be falling down……yes, that’s better. Please remember, this short Canadian Santa is maneuvering this train-car through a historical downtown district. What does Taylor Swift want? Well she loves Doug because he reminds her of her great-grandfather. 😎 Look @42:07....insane maneuverability! *I'm not an officer or an employee of Douglas Shipping, Inc. I am not a representative of "Doug Goes Fishing, LLC.", nor "Douglas Explores Bora Bora" nor anything involved with Black Pearls. (He flew "Howdy" Airways which is direct to BB).

Salut ces quoi Le nom d la companies tu travaille pour?

Never said it could , what I queried was why in the straits you hogged the centre line

I've never understood freight. It's great for your business but it perplexes me that these can't be shipped closer than New Jersey (or Baltimore where a lot of your heavy equipment seems to end up). Seems like trucking them from the Port of Quebec or Montreal would be easier unless those ports can't handle that type of load. But that also would seem odd seeing as Duluth MN get's all kinds of heavy cargo including Wind Turbine blades, towers.

Hi

Les trains du REM sont plus fiables quand ils sont sur vos camions que sur leurs voies. Ça doit être du aux chauffeurs....The REM trains are more reliable when they are on your trucks, maybe it is because of the drivers...

Being a disabled long haul driver pulling a flat bed, finding a top rated escort company is almost impossible.

Montreal doesn't buy its rail cars from Bombardier?

Just a warning: When I had my puppy, he would be so excited and when I'd go and open the front door for him, he had already urinated in his excitement. For those who are fans of the Lucky Banana......open your front doors, because an adult's excitement can be messier to clean up. 😣

Why is the video only 8 minutes long..

I'm a bit surprised you've got the one guy that hardly speaks any English. Not to sound like a bigot or anything, but I'd rather think that passable English would be a prerequisite for the job (along with Spanish if you range that far south), since your outfit seems to operate all across North America (I'm assuming your escorts are company guys and not third-party contractors). I also thought the majority of French Canadians were fully bilingual, is that not the case? For that matter, is French that common outside Quebec? I've always been under the impression that despite having official dual national languages, only about 40% of Canadians were multilingual or spoke languages other than English, and French Canadians were a generally more of a minority outside Quebec and parts of British Columbia. Could someone enlighten me on this?

Hardly qualifies as oversize so why can't he stay in his lane and let the traffic pass?
