As a trucker , i know that feeling when you finally get a load unloaded. i know that feeling of getting home too. lol Nice job.
I bet it's such a relief to get unloaded after a haul like that.
Actually I’m sad to see them go. I love doing the big hauls so I would drive around with that thing forever!
Javais hate de voir la video au deversoir !! XD nice job
Nice video, a lot of extra work goes into filming this epic adventure on top of the epic amount of work that goes into actually doing the trip. Thank you for doing it.
If guys enjoy watching than I’ll be happy to keep filming! Thanks for the encouragement 😊
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 They are incredible videos man, people are watching.
I think I saw somebody describe this haul as "epic" and that's the only word that comes to my mind, too!
It was an adventure!
That must have been quite a ride from Texas to Fermont. I delivered one time at the Iron Ore in Labrador City and I remember what it was to climb Manic 5 and driving the 389 in late November. Had to hold gearstick in place at all time so it didn't pop out of gear. Can't imagine what it is with that much weight and length. Again, kudos to your driving skills.
Yup Hwy 389 is a little different from American interstates 🤣
I went up there from flordia with tires most interesting trip I've ever had as a truck driver
Enjoyed 😮your trip & you answered all the questions very well!
Hey Doug! If you ever get down to the Houston piers to load they have these snack huts where one can get a belly full of fresh fried jumbo shrimp. Keen had a small yard where we stored machines so while waiting for one to head north we would shuttle machines off the boat a couple days and pig out on shrimp.
Side note, stay out of Louisiana. Them pontoon bridges crossing channels are a little spooky. They ain't but 60-70 feet long but deep and full of gators.
I could use some good fried shrimp! I’ll keep that in mind thanks!
Every turn the tail ends up where it should be, no fishtailing to get it back in line. Class for sure
The booster on this trailer just follows so it will never oversteer.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 understood about the rigid booster. But what I meant was you never swing too wide to where the end of the trailer ends up in the fast lane and it has to fall back into line. It comes out of the corner exactly in the lane. That takes skill and a deep knowledge of the trailer “cheat”.
Aww thanks. Just do’n my job ✌️
Some of the best driving i have seen hats off to you and your guide
Thanks, we try 🤙
Holy smokes, hats off to you driver.
When they built the bypass around the dam at Manic 5 they weren't thinking about the massive loads that have been hauled through there. We used to cross the dam back in the 70s and I can't remember when they built the bridge to bypass it. I hauled to Seven Islands for years and despite the steep hills and tight turns I always loved running up there, especially in the winter when you don't have much traffic. I don't miss truck driving because of today's BS, but I still travel back and forth across the country for hunting trips to Alberta and holidays with the family.
I’ve had to back across that bypass bridge as a last resort with long trailers. Because of the angle you can actually push a trailer in a tighter radius than pulling it. Running up there especially in winter with heavy loads will definitely separate the men from the boys! 🤙
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 ...that's why it's easier to back a trailer into a tight spot, than to pull it out thereafter. (this remark is simply meant to provide your viewers a virtual-visual of your explanation).
And - btw - my compliments on another incredible video.
Buddy you be driving your ass off I'm glad I found your channel keep them coming look forward to catching up on the other ones... ✌🏾
Great rig. Thanks for the ride.
Hats off to you, brilliant bit of driving.
True professional right there 👍
I can pretend anyways. Thx ☺️
That be cool this word: 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻” I love you “ That why: I am Full Deaf & I love it big Trucker ❣️👍🏻🤙🏻✌🏻
Tres impressionnant !
Ca donne le gout de vous envoyer un cv apres mon cftr ! Si c'était pas des tres longs voyages !
Nous avons tout gendre. Du local, du régional et du longue distance. Hésite toi pas de appliquer!
Wow, quite the ride. Very impressive.
Brov, I had a load of structure heading there in those conditions and that was so upsetting. Kudos to you…
hahahaha! Of course you watch TPB on the road, Ray is the shizznit, "Brakes slipped, boom right into the post office, I mean what is drunk?"
Interesting video thanks 👍😎
At around the 18:00 part of the video clip was you wondering what you did to get your dispatcher mad at you? Buddy you got some skills now, I'm telling ya!
Awesome brother
Must have been a real treat to haul that big bastard down over Rte 389! Good work!
I do love a challenge 🤟
merci quelle belle video
When I saw the dam I recognized where you were. I drove that road to Labrador last year and the gravel section were horrible. It rained and everything was covered in mud. Not a great road to travel with a car, never mind with a heavy load.
You’re far from the interstate, that’s for sure!
Where is the dam located at??
Manicouagan Réservoir northern Québec
Amazing!
cool video, nice job.
Wow to deadhead across the states for a load makes me think the freight charge on a load like that must be in the 6 figures.
A trailer like that is very specialized. The customer usually pays both ways
Awesome!
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 du solide 👌💪🤟🤟, criss que c'est beau. Un beau défi de précision.
Awww merci ☺️
Great job
Thx ☺️
Great video
Thanks 😊
I see you came thru my neck of the woods. Thunder Bay is my home base.
Yup, I get around!
Does that tractor needs an additional axle? When having to drop the jeep prior to making the tight turn by the dam(?), there must be a very large amount of weight on one set of tandems. I know they probably ran that way for a short distance but even so . . . (Even so, you've got a very impressive rig there. It's also nice to get footage from the pilot vehicle.)
Yes it’s very hard on the truck to load all that weight directly onto it. But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do to get the job done with what you got!
J'imagine qu'avec une charge de même y'a fallu faire le détour par Chicoutimi ! Belle vidéo
Pir que ça, on a passé par Rouyn et Chibougameau pour éviter la dégel en zone 1
Beau Montage !
Merci ☺️
Wow. Just happened upon your channel and said those trucks look familiar. Your company is pulling the rail cars from my port in New Jersey. Guys were there yesterday picking up 6 more of them.
It’s a small world! We’re only 1/2 done the rail car contract so I’ll be back there for sure. If you look on the channel there is a rail car video.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 i checked out all your videos. Good stuff. Man you guys have pulled a lot of them already.
You drove past my house lol, I live along I-69 Michigan (milepost 104ish), and I assume you came through there since you came thru Sarnia/Port Huron. First video I've seen on your channel, will definitely be taking a look around
We often pass on 69 to and from the border. Small world!
Good video bro
Thanks 😊
Belle job !!
Merci ☺️
Oh wow, vous avez dû enlever des parties du trailer à Manic 5! C’est vrai que les courbes sont serrées là bas. Belle job!
Tres serré avec le extension de plancher!
Christie de beau voyage mon gars !! 🤘🤘 belle job de vidéo aussi 👌
Merci 😊
I just recently subscribed to your channel can’t get enough of it something about heavy haul trucking. I hope you can take some constructive criticism the music to me gets to over powering I’d rather have you talk more.Just my thoughts
Happy to have you along!
🤣 I’m working on this talking thing but let’s say I’m a better driver than blogger
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 regardless of the music I still will be watching your videos. I feel like we’re neighbors I live just south of the border on I-87 in the Plattsburgh NY area keep the videos coming
Wow!!! That is way up there. Do you get payed for idle days or the jod is quoted no matter what how long it takes.
I am just a driver. Im guaranteed 10 hours minimum every day.
a very nice video and I have a question like using a semi-trailer or trailer with steered axles would be much easier and you would also save a lot of money on the costs of new tires and the Goldhofer company has something like that and is used for it Spiezel made every customer and the company is in Germany
There are 2 issues when comparing North American trailers to European trailers.
1st the Goldhofer is a million dollar trailer so you can pay for a lot of wearing tires. In North America companies don’t justify the cost of those fancy trailers. ( me personally I would love to have one 😁)
Second is our bridge laws. The law actually requires us to have the wheels that far apart in order to disperse the weight on our crumbling infrastructure.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 I can understand that very well and even here in Germany the roads and bridges are broken, but that is meant politely
👍👍👍
💪💪💪💪
hello friend one question can you help me please
how much money can be made heavy houl per month and week 🙏
You should check the restrictions for hauling here in BC. They have length limits simply because so much over-size is through mountains.
The laws are different everywhere unfortunately. It gets really complicated to choose a trailer that will be legal everywhere.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 I know, what makes it worse here is the length restrictions were set before the Coquehalla was built and they have no give in them. A US based hauler was denied a permit for a 10 km bit of a delivery because his rig was 2 feet to long. His delivery was in the lower mainland so he wouldn't need to go into the mountains and the tight corners that make the length an issue.
I agree with you some of these laws are outdated. Written on all New York permits the Binghamton curfew is for all trucks over 72 feet… with that logic every van and reefer guy should stop for curfew because most sleeper trucks with 53’ trailers are now 75’ 😵💫
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 ...I believe the Binghamton curfew was put in place when they began renovating the I-81/86 Interchange...so when you arrived from Jamestown on US-17 (aka I-86) to head up to Albany via I-88, the permits were always calling for the detour via I-81 south to Exit 1 (Cedarhurst Rd ) in the Kirkwood/NY area, only to make a U-turn across the overpass to head back north on I-81 to access the I-88 from that angle.
The problem was, that we we couldn't make the turn from Cedarhurst Rd back onto the N/B I-81 ramp with the 7-axle Putzmeister concrete pumpers (53 ft long weighing 153,000 lbs empty), and see-sawing without escort at an intersection doesn't make for safe maneuvering.
To top it off, once that Binghamton Interstate junction renovation was finally completed in early 2020, the NY-DoT did not eliminate that stupid 20-mile detour as the permits have not been updated since!
LUCKY BANANA ----- What was your departure date ? Was the customer in a rush that they didn't wait until snow was off the ground ? LUV your WESTERN STAR ! * ! * ! JimInCincy [Cincinnati, Ohio]
The Orr mines up north work in winter conditions 6 months of the year. Working in winter is just a fact of life up there. The job doesn’t stop when it snows!
I was looking for you to travel North on frozen rivers and lakes ala ICE ROAD TRUCKERS ! HaHa ! * ! * ! JimInCincy
In 2014 I spent the winter in Yellowknife working the ice road to the Diamond mines. Unfortunately I don’t have any video
@jimlisterman8589....also, once the snow is staring to melt the Spring-Thaw is still in effect, during which time no overweight permits are granted by most jurisdictions.
In Quebec, Zone 1 (the so-called civilized area) usually expires at the end of April; Zone 2 expires around the end of May, whereas Zone 3 (Fermont area included) doesn't usually expire much before mid-June, depending on the severity of the Winter.
I'm not a driver so forgive my ignorance, but has that rear trailer got steering on it?
No rear steering on this one. It just follows like another trailer
As tu pris la traverse a Tadoussac en y allant ou tu as fait le tour par le Saguenay? Parce qu'a 181000 lbs, ça doit être limite sur le bateau...
Non j’ai passé par Sageaunay
Nice video again! Did this pass through Grenville?
Not this one. We crossed the border in Thunder Bay and passed by the northern route through Val D’Or and Chibougamau
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 You took the snow route!! lol
Pulling a load like this do have to stop at the weight scales like if you had just a normal load?
Yes and believe it or not even a truck with that many wheels needs to be perfectly balanced!
All I can say is better you than me 😅
Each to their own 🤷🏼♂️
I wonder why Quebec use only "D" as the overweight sign? In Europe, France use "Convoi Exceptionnel", much more logic.....It is also walid all over EU I think.
Quebec likes to be different 🤪 “D” is for dimensional and it’s accepted across Canada but not in the USA
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 ....correction, if I may: According to the Canadian Federal Motor Vehicle Transport Act, which applies to all motor motor carriers operating in 2 or more provinces, the red and white "D" sign or banner is the only legal one (D = Danger, in both French & English, and since Canada is officially considered a bilingual country, the D-sign covers all the jurisdictions. That being said, most anglophone provincial enforcement agencies will accept, or at least tolerate, the yellow banner with black lettering, bearing 1.5" brush-strokes and be at least 10" high (these are the US-specs, which are printed on all permits requiring such an Oversize or Overweight banner).
Exceptioal Convoy in french is more universal in the EU than any other language! No way would they use English in the EU, even though most drives speak english as a second language!
What is the engine for? Power generation or does it go into a piece of equipment?
The engine for a drill rig. Google “Cat 6640” and you will see it completely assembled.
Are the last set of wheels on the trailer load-bearing?
Yes. Weight is transferred through hydraulics. The weight is distributed evenly across all wheels.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Thanks for the reply - the power of hydraulics eh!
Howdy 👋,, what’s the specs on your western star tractor ??? I was impressed how heavy your tractor pulls like that big cat stuff on your trailer … where’s Fermont located at ?
Fermont is northern Quebec on the Labrador border.
Truck is a 2020, Cummins 565hp, 46k rears, 390 gearing, 18 speed manual.
Short hood 4900 or long hood 4900EX? Double locker ?
Also does your company also have Detroit engine on their western star ? And if so which one is better ?
4900SF, full lock
Some Detroit yes. It’s all the same.
Where did you get on the ferry at??
Tadoussac Quebec
Does the truck have 40k rears? Or you just trying to keep weight off them?
This truck has 46k rears
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 that what I figured. I was thinking no way he put all that on regular 40k tandems, if you did, I would be impressed by who ever made them.
is that a Western Star truck you are driving?
Yup I drove that truck for 3 years
Do you run all your escorts in house or do you use third party on occasion?
Mostly third party actually. We just don’t have enough. With moves requiring multiple escorts we try to have at least one company pickup running behind the load who is used to working with the driver but a lot of times the extra cars will be third party.
Not that you would want this, but why would this not get shipped by rail? You aren't taking it for just a couple hundred miles?
I don’t make those kind of decisions. Just happy for the work.
There is no rail between where the load originated and Port Cartier or Seven Islands. The over the road option is really the best way
Do all jeep axles have brakes?
Yes all wheels on the ground are required to have brakes
crazy how you dont have rear steer on your trailer like her in uk you mite only need 1 dolly but could have the axles you need unless us is based on length not axels
I agree totally! EU has always been ahead of North America as far as trucking technology. We do have some rear steer trailers but they are very expensive compared to the simple old style and cash is still king!
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 American trucks seem to just make things longer if the load is heavily just doesn't make sense to me
Our real issue is height. Especially in the northeastern part of the continent. Too many 14 foot bridges. So we gotta keep the load low and put the wheels in front and back. We can’t use those fancy 6 axle equipment trailers you guys got with ramps and a 3 foot bed height.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 not all are 3 foot plant tailor are simler to yours we just have the number of Axel's we need and as long as it needs to be have you seen some of the UK vids
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 ruclips.net/video/CYf6SUmz4jk/видео.html
Can you tell me the complete route you took on your trip?
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Ontario, Quebec
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 what was your final destination in Quebec? What town was it near?
Fermont Quebec
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Thanks that explains a few thing 从 m great video again thanks .
what city was this from?
Denton Texas

Cheers from Liverpool
Ps. I'm buying the first round if you ever are visiting.
@charleswindsor1184 happy to have you along for the ride 😊✌️ new videos coming soon so stay tuned!
How did you get fuel ?
When we park the trailer every night I need to unpin and go fuel.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Yep thats what i was thinking. What was the purpose of the little tandem hanging off the end ?
It’s called a booster and it is actually carrying as much weight as the main trailer. The weight is spread out evenly over all wheels.
The rear tandems are actually carrying weight. The weight is distributed evenly across all wheels by hydraulics. Most places (other than Michigan and Ontario) don’t allow 5 axles in a row without a pivot point because it’s too hard on the roads. So we do 3+2
Slip tank on the pickup escort not easier to unhook lol ?
It seems to me yoou are in Quebec, super. HOURRA.
Yup from Montreal area

HA! HA!
What with these ignorant viewers …. Go back to your dark hole in the ground Ivan
With all due respect: you must be crazy as hell for using a jeep on slick roads, here in the woods of N. Idaho a jeep will get you in BIG trouble on steep pulls.
I spun out one time on a two lane road with a 98 link belt and it wasnt pretty backing over 2 sets of 3 trailers to get going again!
I hear you we gotta keep the DOT happy. Moving the big loads in winter conditions is a challenge!
Things like that should be shipped by train and then trucked to its final destination.
25 days? Shit!!! That is boredom.
I always say the #1 quality in a heavy haul driver is patience. This game isn’t for anyone in a hurry.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Nor sissies.
That ought to pay about $3.00 a mile 😇
More like 5 or 6
