Transporting a CAT 352 through downtown Buffalo NY 

You ever keep track of ur total miles driven?

Thank you 😊

Thank you and happy to have you following along with us 😊

🤣🤣🤣

That tall brown obelisk looking building is the city of Buffalo court house. The county and federal courthouses are much more modern and nice looking lol

im an european, i was wondering if that was a prison 🤣

​@guyintenn in 20 years when all of the Brutalist buildings are gone everyone will start lamenting that they were torn down😂

I actually find beauty in Brutalism.

Comments like this keep me going 😊

I took a break from watching series to watch this.

Happy to have you follow along!

you forgot the eh. but I will apologise none the less,

@simbiant4 🤣

Yes this transmission has proven very capable of doing the job! That being said I still prefer a manual myself

God damn it son if it ain’t got a third pedal I ain’t stepping my foot in it😂😂

Automatic transmissions have been extremely capable for a while now, but manual die hards would never admit it. I still think manual is more fun and better in specific scenarios but autos aren’t what they used to be.

I can understand manual for day to day trucking but there’s so much to think about doing oversize loads last thing you want to do is worry about the gears lol

I stopped asking “why” a long time ago 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407. THANKS FOR RIDE THAT WAS AWESOME , IT’S NOT ALLL THE TIME YOU GET RIDE IN A SEMI AND GO 100ds OF MILES AND THEN INTO CANADA , I NEVER BEEN ANYWHERE IN NEW YORK OR CANADA , AGAIN THANKS A LOT , SAFE TRAVEL , TAKE CARE , ALOHA !!!❤

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 ....one of the main reasons for the inner-city detours is that the Interstate infrastructure is crumbling all across the US (and, similar ly to the Provincial autoroutes, truth be told). I've had the pleasure to deliver a fair number of self-propelled over-dimensional mobile cranes with boom-dollies from the Linkbelt plant in KY to SK, AB & BC out west and to Southwestern area/ON (all without escorts!)....so I know a bit about these downtown detours, as well as prescribed "off-ramp/on-ramp" where Interstate bridges are in particularly bad shape, and/or center-lining every overpass, bridge or other free-standing structures in Iowa and some if not all of similar structures in Minnesota on I-94 (again, all without escorts....and, guess what, my worst enemies while doing the center-lining where semi-van drivers, i.e. those who are far too comfortable inside their cabs....which was often noticeable even in your own video). That being said, my compliments, @luckybananaheavyhaul3407, nonetheless, I enjoyed riding hotshot with you on this trip. While I'm fully aware that you're editing these video for length, I think it would still be a good thing to show viewers the cargo-securement requirements not just in general (which you did at the Port in Baltimore), but also the mandatory verifications during the trip, i.e. at the pre-scribed intervals (1st after the first 50 miles/80 kms of departure; 2nd and subsequently every 3 hours or 150 miles/240 kms (whichever occurs first); at each change of duty-status (i.e every time you pull the yellow button on the dash , read: apply the parking brakes) in addition to many jurisdictional verifications as specified on your O/O-permits (or the accompanying Rules on a separate document)....no over-dimensional driver wants to risk having his permits voided because they forgot to dot every i...and crossed every t , due to being in a rush. Thanks for reading my observations.

Good old chicken soup!!! Take care

I am not an operator but I understand what you are saying. It is a very popular model. We are shipping a lot of them!

I ran the ice in Yellowknife for the 2014 season. But I was there for TliCho (Continental) Great experience, I loved it!

Thank you! 😊

Thank you sir!

Thank you 😊

Global warming is over blown.

Doug can i ask another favor to hover drone 20ft in center of an intersection, as you come with your oversize then drone goes straight up some 50ft to get top view as you're making tight turn, then back down 20ft, and finally drone start to follow a bit until load is straight. Would be nice to have it once per video and a 360 that would be great but don't crash Thanks Merci

They exist but, most people figure less tech equals fewer things to maintain. It's also kind of expensive to afford things like that when you're a private trucker who's just starting out 👍.

We have them, just a cost thing mainly. Just use to not using them as well. Also on average US roads are bigger vs european ones.

Let me tell you we know about them and have priced them but oh boy we just don’t have the deep pockets for one at the moment.

We do with longer trailers

Nah they just love running up insurance rate lol 😂😂😜

I believe a saw pictures on Facebook. Those big superloads are amazing 🤘

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 I thought of your channel pretty soon afterward upon hearing about it. Always enjoy the content. I'm a logistics analyst, and I'm always impressed by the level of planning and regulation that goes into commercial transportation like this.

Ja stimmt,schön gemachtes Video! Ich finde nur,die haben ein komisch oder kompliziertes,umständliches Tiefladersystem vorne,dadurch extrem lang. Wäre auf unseren Straßen wohl nicht anwendbar.

Thanks for following along! ✌️

Small world! ✌️

Welcome to the channel! It is true that heavy haul is mainly a manual transmission world however the future is looking more and more automatic.

Small world! ✌️

It’s a work in progress. Always room for improvement. I still prefer manual

Business opportunity 🤔

Small world! ✌️

I get around! Maybe next time

because he wasn't have any other chance

I’ll take buffalo over NYC any day! Just too bad there is no direct oversize route through the city, years ago we used to loop around the north side by the zoo but lately they’ve been sending us though the downtown circle.

It seem too bad going around that circle. When I first started driving in the late 60, where the Cross Bronx spits off to go to the Throgs Neck and the White Stone it was a traffic circle ⭕️ back then and every night I went through there was always some kind of cluster f##k can you imagine if the circle ⭕️ was still there 🤯

Becoming a heavy haul driver is not something that is taught in trucking school. It’s all about putting in the time to gain experience and having goals. Choosing the right company to work for who will help you to advance! True it is a long road but that’s what makes it so rewarding!

Very possible. There are a few of us all with the same color scheme.

Small world! ✌️

True. We’ve had a convoy of trucks all heading to the same destination with similar loads and get different routes

Story of my life 🤣

lol Canadian eh!

Welcome to the channel!

Still going strong in Illinois, Arkansas, Texas, North Carolina…

Yup close one!

I get around on social media 😅

I don’t own this equipment but I take care of it as if I did 🤷🏼‍♂️ just the way I was raised I guess!

I have some vacations coming so I hope you’ll forgive my absence! Guaranteed there will be more videos when I start back.

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Best thing to do on vacations are to edit videos.

🤣🤣🤣 my wife might kill me

By all means, take care of you. Everyone needs a break, and because of what you haul, you really need it. Enjoy the Vacation, we'll be here waiting.

Indeed I understand your pain 😢

Small world ✌️

I end up in Toronto area often

Very possible! It’s a popular spot for us to stop

10-4 I’ve seen TMC hauling a lot of agricultural machines. I believe they have a specialized boat division as well! Happy to have you along! ✌️

I try to keep my videos PG but every now and then one slips out 🤭
