Got to love NS roundabouts! Built for the future where everything will be smaller but used a 1950 dollar budget to construct. There are worse than that yet.
@gmctech 41 seconds ago I drive through this roundabout every day and the plow trucks have a hard enough time navigating it let alone your beast! Antigonish has the WORST and tighest roundabouts I've ever seen! An absolute fail on the idiot engineers whom designed these here! Buddy, locals driving their pulp trucks have a near impossible time rolling through downtown Anti-go-nowhere but you with all your wheels made it seems easy. Thanks for rolling through our town and showing everyone how the big-dogs roll. Again, super props for your skills and the team work by all in this video!
As always, a great video! Lots of credit to you and the crew. Driving thru some tough spots, round a bouts, thru small towns and construction. Trying to keep the 4 wheelers out of the way the whole time.
through the middle of antogonish? crazy!! maybe there was a construction area somewhere to avoid. cape breton to quebec city. gotta love that highway from edmunston to rivierre du loup (northern new brunswick to hwy 20 quebec). it's been under construction for 40 years
Lol I stopped asking why a long time ago. I just follow what they tell me! Yeah it will be nice when that highway to Rivière du loup is finished. They add pieces every year. Probably another 5-10 years 🤣
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 at least 10 years, i drove fredericton to montreal for 35 years, it used to be 2 lane all the way from fredericton to rivierre du loup, some wicked hills north of edmundston as well
Olá amigo tudo bem sou caminhoneiro virtual pois jogo no AMERICAN TRUCK SIMULATOR e estou mim inspirando em você pois acho muito lindo esses tipos de transporte que Deus ti abençoe.
Great movie! Hey, I’m always curious about how good your engine braking (no jakes) reduce your speed, comparing heavy vs. empty, and then high vs. low RPM. Can you throw us some light on that, please? Great channel, Sir.
Aren’t you the guy who commented on my videos being boring 😑 With the new engines if you can stay under 2000 rpm they will hold you back pretty good. Obviously the heavier you are the more reduced gear you need to be in. It’s always easier to speed up than slow down so I’ll choose a low gear to start and play with the jake setting to get the correct engine braking for the hill. If I’m a little too fast I’ll throw the manual override for the engine fan and you’ll find the fan will actually hold you back considerably.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 this is interesting I had noticed that the fan does put a significant load on the engine but I hadn't thought about using it for braking assistance
Don't you just love roundabouts? At least yours are fairly large; here in the pacific northwest, I drag an Xl 170, and half the time, I am cutting the middle of it if it is all concrete or across the grass or trying to figure out how to get around the fixture they built in the center
No steering on this one. There are 2 pivot points so it pulls like 3 trailers. It’s all up to the guy holding the steering wheel upfront and the escorts on the radio for guidance.
Agreed it would be easier! We have some trailers that steer but they are more expensive to buy and operate. Check out some of my other videos and you will see.
Oke will doo , and i am also a truckdriver . And drive through europe . Not with the heavy loads , but i do drive Wide loads . If you would like too know what its like over here , let me know . And i'll try too answers youre questions
Lol. I’m from that area. It’s all new highway between the exits you got off and got back on. Over dimension didn’t appear to be an issue that trip. As a retired driver, I enjoy your videos. Keep ‘em coming.
I know NS gave permits a hard time about the weight. That’s the only reason I needed the deck extension. Some engineer figured out that if we have 6’ bigger wheel base the bridges won’t fall down 🤷🏼♂️
