Follow along with a heavy hauler from Baltimore to Canada through Binghamton NY as we transport a CAT 6040 frame piece weighing 105,000 pounds! HM2BMHE1AKFFJL5W MCMMZBMMKNACD7NF
Yes very sad. Looks like at least a few people were on the bridge. That’s not the route we take but I’m sure traffic volume will increase around Baltimore now.
Yes we usually take 95 north out of Baltimore. The next question will be can they get other ships in to dock with the bridge in the water at the harbor entrance. The port will empty out fast!
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407Very interesting: that part is good at least. I can imagine a herculean effort is afoot to try to get the bridge pieces out of the way of ship traffic.
I couldn't find a source on a 6040 being 39 truckloads, and the other 800000 pounds divided by 40000 per load leads to a little head-scratching. That said by the time you get a couple decent-size cranes and their ballast, service trucks, all the rest, it starts to make sense. Thank you as alwaya for taking the time to make these.
I find it really interesting to watch your videos with heavy and oversized loads. It is difficult with the sound quality of your voice in parts of the videos, which seems that the sound is too far for the microphone. The walkie sounds are clear as is your voiceover on the edit. I have a lot of respect for you spending time on recording and editing. It is not a unique problem with YTs that the sound is bad and viewers seep away because the quality of the sound is not so that you as a viewer of the video do not get the whole thing. Nice tractor.
Yes the sound has been a struggle for me. It has improved over my older videos but there is always room for improvement. The background noise is always changing so it complicates the audio volume
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 when editing videos. look at audio sources being active on the clips. you should be able to mute others if they overlap with the same audio. its a pain but if your using premier video editing or an adobe suite it should come baked in the software
Hi Doug, I ran super Bs in B. C. Backing that thing up is impressive....another great video Doug.....have a great vacation in Costa Rica....take care.....🇨🇦👍
DOUG IT IS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU LETTING US KNOW THE ROUT THAT YOU TRAVEL TO GET UP TO MONTREAL!!!!.I MADE THAT SUJESTION TO YOU SOME TIME AGO!!!!..LIKE I SAID IN MY COMMENTS JUST NOW YOU ARE A REAL PROFESSIONAL 😀 😄.
Excelente trabalho de filmagem e edição! Seu vídeo tem cortes e mudanças de câmera precisos nos momentos de maior tensão dentro das cidades e nas entradas de rodovias. Saudações do Brasil!! 🤝💪
Thank you for this video, especially the last part from the Flying J at New Milford PA to the end. That's my stomping grounds, (ain't that turn at the bottom of the on ramp at the Flying J fun?) and it was fun watching you take turns that I used to take for granted, even with a 45-foot trailer. Happy trucking, and keep the shiny side up.
The pics of the assembled unit look like it's a shovel, the bucket facing away from the unit, on an excavator the bucket faces towards the unit. That road right after the oversize lane leaving the port looked like the lights were setup so if you make 1 green they will all be green if you only do the speed limit, we have 1 set like that in Metro Vancouver and it is a truck route.
Hi Doug from Oz . Thank you for your vids and great editing I appreciate them as My old man was a Truckie and My job had me doing 100K a year in a car so 34 wheelers were something I got use seeing on our country roads Nearly all your vids your audio was easy to hear but this one the engine noise seemed to override it No problem though thanks again from australia, CIAO
Hi Doug. Second posting for me. I posted about three weeks ago (has a letter B at the side) using my tablet. It was ok for me, but not as good as my desktop. I'm the one from the UK. I'm assuming the letters at the side are names of people(?). Anyway, I'm Barbara (tablet) and in memory of my lovely husband, desktop is T for Thomas. I've had my desktop in dock for some warranty work. Got it back this morning, so I'm up and running on my new monitor (a treat for me). Much, much better. I've been doing catch up since then. So anyway, I've subscribed on your channel, so will look forward to looking at more😉
Looks like last Trip to Baltimore Port for ahwile? Might be good News for Montreal Port? Sad for drivers that went down.... May they rest in Peace.... R.
OH YEAH !!!! F**** everything i was doing, its Banana video Time ! thanks Doug, you dont have to do it and you still do it, making a ton of peoples happy for a bit more than an hour !
Doug, notice how smooth the road is from the 220 post to the state line, all those years I put up with it and they finally repave it and a year later I retire Oh well 🤷♂️
Principalement mes vidéos vont être en anglais vu que la plus part des abonnés sont anglophone mais souvent je travail avec des escortes routiers québécois donc la vidéo devient pas mal francophone 🤣
Hi Doug, well what can you say about the vacation north or south. Don't have to be a brain surgeon to work it out. Great choice After all your not a Eskimo lol. Have a great time away well deserved. See ya when you're back to keep on trucking.
I absolutely love watching your videos…you have a level of calmness behind the wheel. My other half drove truck for 35 years. My question to you is how do you fuel up? I have gone with him and see truck stops and know how crazy they can be. Have a great vacation.
I'm watching from the UK, and first time I've joined your RU-vid channel. Very interesting so far, although it would be better if you had better audio equipment as I can hardly hear you above the noise of your truck/road noise, as you seem to give out interesting facts. I first started watching overloads in the UK watching ALE taking transformers to power stations, and the size of them going through tight villages and market towns and down Cheshire roads, which some can be pretty tight. Amazing bit of driving.
Great time to be heading to CR! How did you come up with the name LBHH? How do logs work for you with doing HH? What all does that tablet thing do for you? How do you guys keep track of which trailer is which in your yard? How do you keep track of which truck is which? Is there a set number of chains and binders per truck/trailer or do you get told take X number of chains and binders?
So when im not working you can usually find me in a fishing boat. Old time superstitious fisherman believe that bananas are unlucky for fishing. Hence Lucky Banana. Heavy haulers still run logbooks same as everyone else. And that also answers your next question because the tablet is my electronic logbook and the time you see are the working hours I have remaining for the day. Because I am doing many different kinds of projects I usually take the chains and binders and other equipment that is necessary for the particular job. Sometimes I haul loads over 150,000 lbs but it isn’t practical to always have that much equipment for hauling loads half that weight.
A couple of quick questions. Are you pretty much able to maintain hwy speed when you are on the hwy? Do you prefer to have the remote steering for the back, and finally, do you guys have to be spaced out when you are hauling parts like in this video?. Thank you for another GREAT TRIP.
On flat roads I can maintain 65 mph. Obviously when we get into hills I loose a lot of speed. Remote steering is a luxury here in North America. For sure I appreciate it when I get to use a steerable trailer. The easier it is for us to make complicated turns the less impact we have on traffic flow and the general public. In most places convoying oversize loads is illegal and stated as so directly on out permit. We try to keep the trucks spaced out at least a few minutes apart to lessen the impact on traffic. However in some places like Quebec convoying is perfectly legal and we are actually legally allowed to share one escort for two convoying oversize loads!
Not to hit any bridges! And the suspension is designed to travel at a certain height. Going down the highway with the air bags over inflated puts extra stress and wear on suspension parts
Are you able to add more axle units either in front or behind the main trailer unit to meet road bans or does load itself have to be craned onto an actual different larger trailer?
When you run the DECK extension installed does that reduce the gross weight the trailer. EI 65 ton normal 60 tin with deck extension installed. I enjoy your videos.
We still load to the same capacity. I’ve had up to 3 deck sections totaling over double the length of the original deck and still loaded to maximum capacity. That being said you need to be more delicate when maneuvering and even driving on rough roads. The longer trailer has a tendency to bounce going down the road which adds extra stress on the equipment. Same as making tight turns. With a longer trailer there is a lot more leverage to twist while turning.
hey lucky from my self and every Canadians truckers out there great video and keep the rigs roll en 10/4 hey Doug not saying when but want to hire 2 pilot cars how do you do go about that and when ? how notice do you have to give
Ah fire lake 389 going to lab city love that road I know your probably saying this guy is retared 😅 I go up there a lot to the mine in lab city in the summer over size loads and regular loads
The weight restrictions in Quebec are they on primary and secondary highways and at what percent, do you know? I was a truck driver for forty years, twenty of that in heavy haul.
@norcanexs.g.llc.4625....just google "Spring Thaw Weights in Quebec" and you'll find a number of official CTQ sites in english...i took the liberty of c&p one of the displays: Official dates for 2024 Zone 1..... .....From Monday, March 4th (00:01) to Friday, April 26th (23:59) Zone 2..... .....From Monday, March 18th (00:01) to Friday, May 10th (23:59) Zone 3.... ....From Monday, March 18th (00:01) to Friday, May 10th (23:59) Depending on changes in weather conditions, the start and end of the load restriction period can be moved ahead or postponed. that same site also has a neat map (look of the Menu on the left....heading "Thaw Zones"..it shows the location of the 3 Zones. The mandated axle-weight reductions range from 8% to 20% depending on the types of roads and Zones....the actual legal reduced axle-weights are listed on their link www.legisquebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/document/cr/C-24.2,%20r.%2031 ....have fun
@Andrep8287 really did his homework on your response! To directly answer your questions yes the weight restrictions are on both primary and secondary roads. For round numbers they cut the weight back approximately 80%. Keep in mind that general weight limits are about 20% higher in Canada than USA so basically they cut us back to USA axle weights.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bwWxQ_kYmCw.html Doug, maybe you already know about this- At 2:00 minutes into this video, it explains the triangular shaped linkage system of a Cat 6040 mining shovel, which is on the main boom frame that you hauled. That unique linkage system makes the bucket self leveling and also the weight of the bucket adds lifting capacity to the main boom lifting cylinders. That linkage system is explained in the video. It is an ingenius engineering feature. Terex also had a self leveling linkage system similar to that.
I know a lot of people do not care but I would like to see a map of the route you take on your trips you take. just put a map on the begetting or the end of the video
@markgillespiie2347....as a viewer that idea would be great, but from an editing point of view, I can imagine it's a bit more time-consuming. Unless his Dispatch uses a specific Heavy-Haul mapping software (and would be willing to print a map out for Doug's benefit of including it in the video), it's very tedious to use Google-maps to recreate the routing because of the many "off-the-beaten-track" detours heavy-haulers are required to take based on the defined "permitted routing". Google maps is not designed to allow to select a route based exclusively on Route Numbers.....that would be far too cool. No, one must enter a specific hamlet-name to force Google maps to route it that way, and even then - like the woman on a GPS, it will reroute it because it doesn't make sense. In view of this, I think Doug's decision on this video to simply outline the planned routing by road #'s, verbally, while waiting at a red light (I-95/N, I-695 /N bypass, I-83/N, I-81/N to the NY State Line), was sufficient for any viewer to trace his route on Google-map (including the continuation in Binghamton with the detour via x6 and taking SR-12/N to 12-A to reach I-88 towards Albany. I was hoping his editing would include whether he was obliged to "left-lane" a couple of overpasses on I-88, as well as having to make the detour onto SR-20 in Duanesburg, and continue parallel to I-88 to the I-87/N junction, as we have had to do many times while transporting 7-axle Concrete Pumpers (53 ft long, weighing 153,000 lbs EMPTY!) I mentor many of my newer drivers who haven't much experience transporting over-dimensional vehicles (self-propelled) and haven't learnt the intricacies of reading Permits and their restrictions. So, I ask them to email me their permit-pdf's and I extrapolate the important information and discuss this with the driver on the eve of the next day's shift.
Try to get in with a reputable company. From what I see escorts are not always treated fairly. Try to avoid the agencies and work directly for a trucking company if you can.
The bridge is not on the route we usually take. The question I have is can other ships get in to dock with the bridge in the water? The work out of there might dry up for a while.
@detott....all depends on the respective State/Province and weight/over-all length. Every jurisdiction has their own rules, which must be followed to the "T", or else the drivers risk that their permits are voided....and then it becomes really expensive (ticket-wise). The highest fine one of my drivers was saddled with, in Colorado, was U$10,000 (back in 2009), for being caught driving on the wrong Interstate.
Different states have different regulations. Some states you are allowed to travel the speed limit. Other states restrict oversize to 55mph. We can also have bridge restrictions were we need to slow down across bridges
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 I thought they looked big! Never seen em used in drive position (always wondered though)! I sell tires in Northern NH, use 315's a lot for steers and lifts, we call it the Quebec look!
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 You have enough room, must carry a few spares! Im sure those 275/70 trailer tires are not exactly easy to find out there either!
@robertchaffee5662...Doug did explain why the NY-escort was "dismissed" after getting onto I-88 northbound towards Albany. If I understood correctly, NY-State only required 2 escorts for this load, and I further believe that since Belmare's own escorts are NY-Escort accredited, they didn't need the 3rd-party Escort any longer north of Binghamton. (Doug, please correct me if I'm wrong).
State troopers were required in Maryland only. No troopers in NY state. NY required 2 escorts on interstate highways plus an additional 3rd escort for off interstate detours. The only detour we had was in the Binghamton area so after we got back onto the interstate one of the escorts was dismissed.
Salut je voulais t’envoyer de photos de la 6040 que vous avez apporté à Firelake elle est toute assemblé je voulais te montrer le résultat final je ne peux les envoyer par RU-vid si tu les veux donne moi une adresse pour que je puisse te les faire parvenir en attendant je continue à te suivre. Belle job de professionnels
YOU ARE REALY STUPID TO THINK THAT THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT LIKE THIS MAKES 2 DOLLARS A HOURS!!!...😮THE WORKERS IN AMERICA MUST MAKE 60 DOLLARS A HOURS AND THEY DON'T MAKE IT ANY BETTER! !!.....THATS WHY WE ARE LOOSING OUR JOBS!!!!...OVER PAID AND LESS PRODUCTION 😮😮😢.
@@dubious6718 ...but their U$120/wk (C$164.40/wk) probably gets them a bigger grocery-cart full at the end of the week than anywhere in the US or Canada at minimum-wage!
Why are american & Canadian trucks so big & underpowered compared to europe .At least the ozzies took them & improved them .2024 & still making trucks in the us with only 1 rear drive axle .Shit we had that & brakes back in the 70s .They do look cool but I'll give them that .
