I don’t often comment on RUclips but I know it is important in growing the channel. Your editing is a perfect mix of fast forwarding on the straight sections, and great detail in the tight turns. You and your team make it look so easy, but that’s due to skill and knowledge. I can only imagine the amount of preparation it takes to plan the route; arrange the permits, and prepare the equipment so it will pass a detailed inspection. Job well done by everyone. Keep the videos coming, and you will see the subscriber count rise!
As a local driver to the area you come through, I see you all the time and it still amazes me the loads you bring across Route 11. Keep up the good work and Im gonna have to see if I see my truck in one of your videos l;ol
Nice to see you again. Thanks. It was nice to hear that manual transmission getting a workout. That's great teamwork with the multiple escort vehicles on those tight corners.
Doug it’s always a pleasure watching you do your job so professionally. I’m 75 and retired and have done some oversize and heavy haul in my day but nothing like you just like the inspection you went through you get what you give I’m proud of you and how you handle yourself 👌👌👌👌👌👌
As I've said before love your camera angles and editing 👍👍👍. Can't imagine how many cuts and trawling through footage you do. Keep it up Doug. Your vehicles radios seamed uniformed clear this Video 👍 Greetings from the UK.
It is interesting to see what all is involved in moving a load from Point A to Point B. The maneuverability of a loads that long around curves, is amazing. Your driving skills are quite admirable. Thank you for sharing.
Nicely done! I recently retired from the heavy towing and recovery industry and while I was never involved with anything quite that large, I can certainly appreciate what is involved. That was well done.
I watched your three part series from Baltimore to Canada. I love yours because it takes you places that people don’t get to see often. I even saw a road sign coming off the Mass Pike saying Providence, Rhode Island. I had the time and actually when you drank your coffee I drank mine. It was like I was riding shotgun. Great driving and thanks for taking us on your adventures. God Bless!!
I live in New York, I haul oversized as well, but in a baby set up, (8 axles), I've seen your company all over, even a video through Ithaca ny, awesome professionalism with you and your escorts, cheers and safe travels driver!
Now that was a good video. It's nice to have professional friendships with people that you interact with. The company before Keen, I would take a 17' wide rear rudder for Gulfstream Aircraft out of the Savannah, GA port. The same 2 Sheriff's escorted me over to the plant so many times that we knew each other by first name's. Have a good day.
Back in a StarCar with a pin on!!! So beautiful!!!!! I live for the day you come thru my area of NY and I actually get lucky enough to see you. I live near Canandaigua and Geneva. It would be an absolute pleasure for this grumpy old veteran to see your truck drive by in person just once!!
Well Doug & ALL Escorts --""HAPPY NEW YEAR "" to ALL !!! 🤠😎 Thanks for the video & Waiting to see what 2024 has to bring for the ""LUCKY BANANA " !! 🤔🙄👍👍👍👍👍
I can barely drive a trailer on a pickup. A 13 axel heavy load looks to be an absolute nightmare for someone like me. Glad to know there are people who can handle that pressure.
Rt11 west from Champlain , you rolled right through the big city …lol of Chateaugay NY . I meet your company’s trucks Rt11quite often . Great video Thanks for sharing.
Your fact of the day; The wires in Chateaugay are all higher on the eastbound side. 🤣 We should be rolling through there again at the end of this week with 6 more train cars!
Simply amazing to see this work so detailled! Very professional for sure! Are your trucks equiped very special talking about engine or gearbox? Or is this a "normal" engine (for sure not the weakest) and an 18 speed? Btw: Thank you for the subtitles!
This truck has just a regular unmodified 565hp engine and Allison automatic transmission. They only thing different from this truck and a normal truck are axles and tires with a higher weight rating capacity.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 That's impressive that quite a normal truck can haul this heavy loads! Here in Europe the difference between normal trucks and heavy haul trucks seem to be bigger than in America.
254k on 13 axles...,western star handled it like it should,. hauled a load of crude one time ,147k# on 7 axles , definetly didnt want an escort , the ol western star (425 cat, 15 sp.)did just fine , had it down to 16mph going up a grade ,60 mile haul,needed 2 scale tickets at the refinery when i got there, truck went to scale max 100k# and pup was 47k#. not bad for a 80K# rated truck???
Interesting video, very professional and nice to see helpful authorities. Still don't understand why full hydraulic steer trailers are not used like hear in the UK and Europe .Those turns would be achieved without crossing into oncoming traffic lanes no problem . Unfortunately those trailers would be absolutely useless in the UK due to the overall length. Nice work though guys keep on trucking 😎😎
It's because of "bridge laws" the distance between axles to not overload roadway. That's why you see different combinations of groups of axles. Sometimes loads are transferred to multi-axle, all axles steerable and leveling platform systems to move within power plants, etc.
If you did these with a POV view, camera on your head, you'd be one of my favorite channels. The hood view is boring, I want to see your dash, when you check your mirrors, etc.
@noone3734....I'm mighty glad Douglas doesn't use the PoV camera....as a viewer, one gets very dizzy watching these videos, when we're forced to "follow every one of Doug's head-turns to monitor his mirror on one side, then pans his view across the windshield to the opposite side mirror. Another "vlogist" from the UK (Scott Andrews) tried it a few times, and his loyal followers voiced their negative opinions.
we just had a 163,000 pound press base delivered from philly docks to buffalo . so total weight very similar and the trailer was much more compact no police escort. 11 axles total all legal. can't take it on the thruway though.
Great video. What type of cameras and system are you using. Pan tilt is nice. How many cameras and what type. Many thanks im looking to have a reliable clear system on my freightliner.
@carldrexler7883...actually, the "CVSA - (passed) Level-I full inspection" decals are valid for 3 months and are, by the way, color coded (for officers to know if the decal is still valid when a CMV slowly passes-by across the scale-pad). The interesting part is that US-based truckers may legally use these decals as proof of Periodic Mandatory CMV Inspections. Here in Canada however, the respective provincial Ministries of Transport still require their annual (trucks/tractors/semi & full trailers) or semi-annual (Passenger or School Busses) periodic mandatory commercial vehicle inspections, decals and certificates, even if such a vehicle has just been affixed with a CVSA inspection decal by any jurisdictional North American roadside inspection station! (I'm an Associate CVSA-member)
I’m curious @Douglas about whether you are a owner operator or do you work for a company. Which company so I can apply 😀, I really love the trucking industry🙌💪🏼💪🏼
Counter they don't care about your covering the load, just that you aren't allowed to dispute a claim that you damaged their cargo. The film would prove beyond a doubt if it was as they said or if it wasn't. This is a case of CYA.
Curious as to why the deck ext or if it's an extendable then no added weight but clearly you had the room to move forward to get the weight right. Seem to be plenty long for bridge without stretching. Do they just like to torture you??? Either way, your guys did a nice job on the distribution.
The jeep needs it for turning on the truck, and the trailer turns on the jeep. The reason for the 13 axles and the length is to spread the weight out for bridges.
They were referring to the 15 foot deck extension that was added to this trailer but clearly not necessary for the load. We had to make the trailer even longer for the bridge requirements.
The Peterbilt has a nicer interior and is more comfortable however I find the western star is a better working truck. It has a better turning radius and I prefer the manual transmission
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 ....I also use the diff-lock when maneuvering at slow speeds, especially reversing, as you don't get oversteer caused by the front drive (particularly with automatic transmissions)
Even with state escorts dot wanted to wiegh you😂😂Surprised dot didnt have you pull in for a level 123 for hours and pictures for there walls as a trophy
Superloads have mandatory dot inspections which are actually scheduled in advance. I’ve done it so many times, I’m on a first name basis with the officers there.
Why does everyone expect truckers to sit around for free. Breakdowns, border crossings, scales, out of drive time, load pick up, drop off, on and on. Go ask office worker to stay 3 hrs , for free they would quit first time
@danielcollins7588....I share your beef, but in this particular case, Douglas is paid by the hour....so not proverbial skin off his south-end-of-a-northbound-mule ;-)
Salut, Je suis surpris que tu utilise une remorque ' extra longue ' Trop longue même. En Europe on utilise une remorque dite ' mille pattes ' c'est beaucoup plus petit ( de moitié ) par apport au Canada ou les USA et c'est plus maniable. Bye

Bonjour, Oui c'est vrais, j'ai vue que la police avais avait des balance pour mesurer le poids sûr chaque essieux, il est vrais qu'avec un mille pattes il serait serai quasi impossible de mesurer les roues intérieurs, c'est bien dommage. Bye @@luckybananaheavyhaul3407
So if it’s not the biggest then it’s not worthy of being posted? You know you are not forced to watch these videos. If you don’t like it, keep scrolling!
@catherinesalmon3310...just FYI, the Western Canadian provinces, especially SK & AB have completely different maximum permitted weights for super-loads, especially on the roads leading to oil-wells. Thus...it would behoove you to educate yourself, before making stupid remarks. Besides, neither Mammoet nor Premay operate any heavier equipment within the Eastern part of the Continent (i know, i've delivered Mammoet equipment between the Eastern US and the Canadian Maritimes)
I am just a regular trucker 😂. This is another level of trucking and complexity. Great job driver and rest of the team. May the Lord Jesus Christ protect all of you guys.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407Between the weight and the amount of brakes it will probably rip the treads off of the tire carcass on a quick stop. Is there a larger compressor on the truck to supply all the air tanks?

Just seen this video!! I operate this machine one bulk earthmoving in the Uk and company is always moving us around the job without drama!!! They leave the stick on and remove middle teeth and move it!!!! NO BIG DEAL!! There’s many machines same size, smaller and bigger but no great big fussing!!! Why is everything on RUclips from America so dramatic!!!!!!??? It’s a baby 50ton weight on you ridiculous massive truck 😂 Whatever!! Only in America!!??
You must have come thru the border at Champlain NY which is funny because I live about 10 minutes north about 2 mins from the other border crossing nearby. Glad to see they didn't give you a hard time as some of the drivers coming through spend forever waiting to get through.
are those cute little tire scales the troopers use even legit???? Seems wild to me haha. I only fallow 1 other trucking channel and i think i found a new fave. Only my second video watched but awesome content!
Heavy haul is always interesting. Why haven't heavy haul trailers with steerable axles used like you see in Europe and other countries? Cool video on You Tube.
That's a great big stretch you've got on there. Is that to accommodate the required axle spread for the load, or more or less just how the trailer is spec'd? ...same load here in Europe would be on a much shorter trailer, but possibly with 8 tires per row of axles. It doesn't quite give the same axle spread, and some bridges can indeed be a problem. Some loads simply have to go by ship because they're too heavy to pass any of the suspension bridges, even with jeeps etc.

We try to have our paperwork in order. The border really isn’t a big deal. The system actually works better than ever :)
are those cute little tire scales the troopers use even legit???? Seems wild to me haha.
I only fallow 1 other trucking channel and i think i found a new fave. Only my second video watched but awesome content!
These scales are accurate as long as the terrain is perfectly level. Any oddity on the ground will throw off the readings.
Welcome to the channel!
Cant believe they wanted to weigh you! Portable scales must have been a Christmas present for them.
Mandatory for all trucks permitted over 200,000 in NY to weigh with the portable scales!
I thought it was your truck when I seen you in Champlain New York
Very interesting video. Stay safe my friend. God bless you. 🙏🙏🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲
The BEST part of a weekend is the chance to see another Lucky Banana video. 😎
I’m trying to keep up getting these out for you guys 🥵
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 I'm just telling you what the World wants. 😉
Cheers to that
That black car. lol
As always a great video! And only a few miles from my house at the end of the video. Wishing I could have seen the remainder of the route! Great work!
Excellent job Driver!!
Very long load and nice video have a good day
That was a great video! Thank you!
Seems like a lot of weight for such a small package. Can you share what you were carrying?
It’s a turbine shaft for a hydro electric dam. The load weighs 155,000 lbs. total weight with the truck was 251,000
Love it be safe Doug.
Precision! I like seeing things where the person knows his *hi*. Thanks for this!
Heavy haul is always interesting. Why haven't heavy haul trailers with steerable axles used like you see in Europe and other countries? Cool video on You Tube.
Because transport in North America doesn’t seem to pay enough for that fancy equipment. 😞
That's a great big stretch you've got on there. Is that to accommodate the required axle spread for the load, or more or less just how the trailer is spec'd? ...same load here in Europe would be on a much shorter trailer, but possibly with 8 tires per row of axles. It doesn't quite give the same axle spread, and some bridges can indeed be a problem. Some loads simply have to go by ship because they're too heavy to pass any of the suspension bridges, even with jeeps etc.
Exactly. The long wheel spacing is required for the bridges.
Very good proffesional delivery
Do you ever use a rear steering element? Friend had an escort service in Connecticut years ago.
Yes but for even bigger trailers! You can watch my videos hauling the train cars or wind towers to see steerable trailers!
