Nacogdoches Heavy Haul Project 

Not sure I've seen this mentioned before, but... a big thanks to your employer for letting you do all these videos.

If only I was 50 years younger and spoke French. Man, what a way to make a living - never a dull moment!

You are a fantastic truck driver, Doug. Would love to do something like. I drove tractor trailers in the U.S ARMY hauling heavy equipment. I enjoy watching you traveling around the states and Canada. Keep the videos coming.

Not very often do I see my hometown in my Subscription feeds, okay almost never. Originally from Nacogdoches, now in Southern Indiana. Love your videos, what you do is fascinating and you do it with such precision. Safe travels.

WOW very nice video and very good driving have a great week

Hello from Aransas pass Texas I've been driving for more than 40yrs never had the balls or the nerves to do what you do my hat off to you sir and keep on doing a great job

Excellent camera work 👌🇦🇺

Super Video!! Respekt für deine Arbeit!! Gruß aus Germany

Lucky Banana you're doing fine... new fan here... i'm 75 and drove most of my life for one job or another... nothing like you though... my heaviest load was 22,000 pounds across town in a straight truck for a steel heat treating company. You're as interesting as my train videos i watch every day to wake up.

Everybody did a damn fine job. From you driving, to the spotters, to the officers blocking traffic. Couldn’t have asked for a smoother move now cmown

The scenery has been so fabulous. I love your videos for that AND the absolutely amazing skill you have driving what I see as an impossible route.

Doug, excellent video! I loved that you drove through Ottawa (my neck of the woods). I don’t think you could have planned that left turn in Terrebonne with the sign barely clearing and closer. Waiting for the next part. 🇨🇦

Good job Doug getting around some very tight turns. I enjoy your videos as I like the heavy haul trucks!

Man you must be getting paid good for all you have to do and you seem to be good at it🎉🎉🎉

Looks like you parked for too long and got snowed on. Good pictures.

Excellent video some great driving skills. You must have nerves of steel. I enjoyed. 👍😊

Great job Doug as always. Catch ya on the next, take care.

I saw "Nacogdoches" and realized that your destination wasn't too far from where I am in Houston. Be glad that you didn't have to visit in the middle of summer!

I always get a kick out of the folks who come up the on-ramp and seriously contemplate edging in between your rears and the pilot car. Seriously? anywhere inside the footprint of one of these behemoths is a seriously bad place to be. Stay back or get the hell past but don't hang around the load. Comme d'habitude, Doug. Merveilleuse!

Oh Yeah ! An awesome hour on youtube is about to start !

My God your good at backing up!

As a retired trucker appreciate your videos. Could you mention where you are once in awhile. Nice you have someone watching your back.

WOW...... wide, long, heavy and high..... that pushed all of the limits and made for a challenging trip. Your great editing as always made for an enjoyable ride-along. Thank you for sharing.

Got my sleeping bag and hot black coffee. Ready to roll!

I saw the short of the changing seasons and now I see why it's familiar. That's HWY 17 west of the Kubota dealer at Alfred. Great driving, Douglas. Keep on trucking.

This is insane what a good driver you are haha! me, I'm still trying to figure out parallel parking after all these years

Damn , Make it look Easy ! Professional at Work

GOD BLESSED UR CREW & GOD BLESS UR PHENOMENAL COMPANY THAT U WORKING FOR.

34:32 Wow! That's impressive! Greetings from Germany.

Morning Boss, well we're back with you on this trip. I live in Sk. now but hauled quite a bit into and out of Quebec as well as Texas etc.

I watch many of your videos. They are all interesting. You have so many hinges in most of your videos... I'd have the thing tied in a know. lol

C'est beau de voir voir aller, super travail que vous faites en équipe.

I got to say you are super truck driver forward and backwards

great work,I would think the automatic would be great in the tight places.No snow yet in southwest New Brunswick

Excellent video 💯

The more I watch your vids, the more I see that it’s a completely different branch of trucking. Definitely not for everyone, driving-wise. But pretty freakin’ cool!

Good driving Doug!

Yeah!!! La vidéo tant attendue. Ça parait que ce n'est pas ta première fois avec de long trailer!! Dans une couple d'année j'aimerais bien faire comme toi 😎 Have a great weekend Doug 🤘

You know its heavy when cement trucks pass you quickly going up hill.

I loved everyone of ur vedio ur crew r real professionals at all times .

Almost to close for comfort.great job .

Great video!

i love your videos extremely much 😊😊😊😊👌👌👌👌👌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💞💞💞💓💓💓💗💗💗.

Thanks, Doug. Fascinating project. Three weeks round trip! Wow. Looking forward to the continuation. You said in another video that you sleep in your truck. What do your escorts do? Do they have sleeping quarters in their vehicles or do they have to find lodging? A minor suggestion: You mention the dimensions and weight in the video, but for those of use with faulty memories it would be great if you also put that in the description. It's hard to go back and find it in the video.

Well done Doug 🤙🏽🤙🏽 David Hawaii

Awsome! Can't wait to see the rest

I used to live in Nacogdoches TX . I really liked it there. It was different then Buffalo NY where I'm from

Skills Good job Young Man.

bon chauffeur et patient bravo

If you had independent steering in that last trailer, it seems like you could make those corners easier.

You know Garmin makes a really slick electronic device that would be perfect for you. You enter your load dimensions, weight and length and it can help plan your route and thing is it is really affordable for what it is. With AI getting better I dont think it will be long before it will get even better. You will probably even be able to talk and argue with it!

You have interesting jobs sir... to say the least.

I'D NEVER done heavy duty haul before. I'd loved too learn how to do it.

Hi Doug, I have a question about your truck spec. When it was speced out did they make the turn radius on the front tighter for your cornering ability on turns? Or cant they do that legally? Great video and trip so far. Looking forward to the continuation of the trip.

Watched video one part when loading had trouble getting center under load….black hole black tube how do you see??? My novice thought can you hang long orange strip down to help line up

What a job! When your escort crew says "touched a wire", do they mean that your load touched it or do they have a measuring stick they checked the wire's height with ahead of time? I'm slightly surprised that (carefully) contacting wires isn't a big deal, you never know if the insulation on a power wires is actually still as good as it should be..

Hey Doug !! That has to be a $$$ Million Move for sure just to get out of Canada & Another $$$ Million for the USA !!!! HAHA 🤔🤔🙄🙄 Great work by ""Police & Escorts "" to get you around those turns & Narrow Roads !!! Of course ,, It ALL Has to do with you ,,The Driver ,, !!!! 🙂🙃😉👍👍👍👍👍

Idk whos better, you and your crew or the police department escorting you. But everyone made that look easy

Also, the company you picked the drum up at builds equipment that's thousands of pounds and no doubt millions of dollars and still ships it from a loading dock tucked away behind the longest narrowest dirt track and gate they could find... What is it about the bigger the item the sketchier the driveway 😅

Was wondering why route through Ottawa and then figured you must be taking north 11 around the lakes to maybe I35 south?

Amateur truckers: - The scale is closed! 👠 Pro heavy haul drivers: - I dare you! ...while cutting thru their inspection area 😂

Wow, je vie a Vars qui doit etre proche de la route que tu a pris pour te rendre a Bank Street comme au debut du jour 4 a Ottawa. J'aurais aimer voir sa

Greetings from the UK. Love the video, as always, any chance we could see maps of your routes? Especially any detours you have to take due to restrictions for different states etc

Do you have your own Pilot team in Canada, or do you contract them? I work with a company that supports various companies in Quebec. It is fascinating to watch your travels, as many of those implements and equipment are related to my work.

Hey man, I saw your rig on snake island and I’m wondering if your cameras got my truck, black dodge with a load of plywood in the back🤣

In the US they must tell you of the clearance is under the bridges... they try to stay at 13.5 feet minimum... though that is not written in stone.

Hey Doug !! Forgot to mention that with the motor fan running 80% of the time ,,can easily be the reason for bad fuel mileage as the fan takes 25 HP away from the motor when it's running !!!! 🤔🙄

Dam, I am getting hungry, can we go through the McDonald's drive through? need BigMac...

You’re coming down to my neck of the woods. Hopefully them college kids didn’t drive you nuts.

de la belle route aux quebec haha

Slow ride climbing Thibeault Hill leaving North Bay pulling so much weight

Can’t imagine the cost to move that load Cost of paper going up 😂

If you had stopped and checked load securement and weight distribution when in the scale + inspection lot they would have been happy, after all you would have been inspecting your load to insure it's still safe to proceed. ;)

Are the police units on the same radio that you're using? wondering if they go off that to coordinate movements or just go with things as needed.

That shippers yard is a mess 😧

That hill @1:02.00 seems like a struggle for not being a manual.

Is there any options for a truck/trailer that allows you to adjust the height of the trailer from inside the cab, even if that means turning on aux motors in the back?

👍👍👍

Could the Booster be straight when going ahead, but the pin or hole have some wear on the front causing it to push off while backing up?

hey Lucky another great video but ? do you do privet halls as well ? but keep up the great videos you do a great big 10-4 to you and all truckers 10=4

Wow just found your channel and thought Id check it out. Where are y'all based out of?

Do you guys get a lot of flat tires when you are up against the K rails and in the weeds

Is truck automatic? Any disadvantages to it, if that is the case?

wondering why the route up thru North Bay and Cochrane to ???? seems very circuitous???

You ever get pulled over for using 2 lanes even though you're allowed/have to? (While not being escorted by a cop i mean)

I like to see two red flags on the rear of the trailer. It would give traffic more visibility of the rear of your trailer.

Hi Doug, why wasn’t the load harped ? Thanks 😊

Where do you fuel up on these trips a regular truck stop doesn’t seem to have the room for you to get in and back out?

What was the reason for the route to go through Ottawa?

What does that "D" sign mean on the back of the trailer?

40:05 😅

I know its a tridrive but whats the wheel base on that truck if you dont mind me asking

What language are u speaking

Why don't they send these on ships or trains?

Bonjour de Belgique dune collègue sur semi en conteneur

Are you speaking French?
