You are the creator of your own destiny
I actually work there and it's cool to see what happens when a building leaves out. Maybe if you come back through, I can get a chance to say hello.
Your pilot dudes are awesome. Right down to the half a foot clearance callouts on those barriers, keeping it legit!!!!
Man i love your new intro but i think after the here i come at 0:38 in this video it should be a clip of your truck like it is but only with the sound on and you barking those jakes i think that would bring the intro to a whole new level
Minden, LA... been there a few times.
Hey Eric when are you coming to Nampa Idaho. The reason I ask is because I really want to meet you because I'm a big fan of yours. I've been following your blog since you started RUclips. Let me know!!
Awesome job as always E. Did you get a new trailer? If I remember correctly your old one was black. Glad to see you still have outcast too. Stay safe out there bud.
Another great video keep up the great work i look foward to your videos
Looking good brotha!! Im actually looking for a step deck.. to start getting my feet wet with oversized a bit.. enjoy the vids brotha!
Cool seeing the camera in the shades👍😎
Awesome video. R place restaurant in the TA in Morris IL is a great place to eat. Some of the best chicken pot pie I've had besides Dysart's in Hermon Me. Both have great desserts.
Awesome video brother! Seems like you really enjoy it what you do. 😎🤙🏻
Nice talking to you, YANCEY
Keep the videos coming Eric and keep the shiny side up
Hello from Louisiana
Hello
You're the man
Thanks for sharing!!
Stopped waiting for you at a light but tell them when they ask about securement, tell them “its in God’s hands now”
I hope to one day work my way up to heavy haul with Bennett
Gotta hand it to you Eric. You are doing great work with the trucking but look how long it took you to get there
How long it took me to get where?
It was a pleasure meeting you at iowa 80
Always a good time meeting new folks…
Where did you get the lights
Wife snd we’re about to pull the plug, on having her as one of the escorts. She had all the requirements. Just had to get a small van as the escort vehicle. Then the unthinkable happened, was taken out by Werner Co driver. Then after all the rehab, insurance lawyers. Went local, haulin Fuel ⛽️
You were at Dixie Inn. Was that Fiberbond?
Boi was riding throw Dixie in I'm from Los Angeles got family over there exit 44 on 20
Bring it when you driving truck that me malls in septic s*** so tomorrow's supper miles is quite a long time
What?
@@HeavyHaulNation
Exactly what I was saying when I clicked to see what you were saying.
Good videos, thanks.
@@HeavyHaulNation when you have to take a poop it cannot do it when you drive it
App to blur when you driving truck all day long and have take a poop
I'm considering joining Bennett
Come on over.. it’s a great place to be
35 years experience
Could u please do a video with no music please so we can hear whats all involved doing heavy haul like the communication between you and pilot guys please and thank you
I could but it will be a really long video you realize all the driving scenes are sped up? If I did a video with real-time driving it would be hours and hours long… but I think I can put something together for ya.
@@HeavyHaulNation that would b greatly appreciated. I love ur videos great work and keep on trucking brother
How much does a load like that usually pay?
Do ever have a load so long or so heavy it requires push trucks to help in moving or slowing down to stop?
Not currently! But working towards that.
Nothing negative but can you explain why your shifter is above your head?
Just the style of shifter I bought! There’s no purpose for it other than the joker being able to see our the window lol
How do we even contact you. I'm a flatbed. Looking for some tips to jump in. Where to go to get experience on heavy haul
Instagram, or email are ways most people contact me HeavyHaulNation@gmail.com
Hey there, I have 2 pieces of equipment I need moved, thought you might be interested, they are os loads 13 foot 6 tall , 102 wide, 52 foot long.
Thanks al
Email me at HeavyHaulNation@gmail.com
It would be nice if loves would cone off a section of the parking lot
We have had loves cone off half a parking lot for us before but there was 10 of us
Does it get more elaborate with oversized loads or is it still 4 corners, 50% of weight style? I'd imagine there would be something like the 10 foot rule for long structures like that
I’ll make a video explaining this subject in the future that should help
If running in a convoy and the state requires a hight pole ahead of the load can 1 pole run for the whole convoy, and along the same line would each truck need its own escort if everyone stayed together in a convoy
Most states won’t allow convoying! We have to stay a good distance apart. Each truck requires their own pilot vehicles! Now we do run together on back roads because it’s safer and easier to shut areas down once instead of multiple trucks having to shut it down different times! But on interstates and other divided highways we are technically supposed to be spread apart!
Where can I purchase those strobe lights?
Amazon is where I got them
@@HeavyHaulNation a link might help if you have one😎 wouldn’t want to guess how many lights on Amazon

Do you not have your trailer anymore
Sold it with plans to buy a new one… just waiting on the economy to be stable enough for me to be comfortable to sign my name to a $200k+ loan for the trailer I want
@@HeavyHaulNation k
Quad cities
Holy shit! You went right by my home town Aurora, Yorkville,Morris area! Live in Vegas now! Take care brother!
Yeah bud go up that way quite a bit
@@HeavyHaulNation Hey if you ever come to Vegas, let me know a week in advance and i will comp you a free private limo ride to and from your hotel. Ive been watching your channel for a few years now and it would be nice to meet you and provide transportation. Thanks again for the reply, take er easy buddy!
@@vegaslimoguy2376 man that would be awesome! We were just in Vegas a few months ago! We ubered everywhere! But you have a business to run so I wouldn’t let ya do it for free. I appreciate it bud.
By any chance do you know the specs of your truck? Can it pull any load?
I do know the specs of my truck! Just not willing to give out the specs of my truck.
@@HeavyHaulNation alright. Curious did ypu go from open deck to heavy haul or dry to heavy?
@@mambalight9821 open deck and worked my way up
Eric who maps out yer route the shipper, company, or you it seems like the least turning would be the obvious stay safe bud.👌🇺🇸🤘🇺🇸
The state… I send what I’d like as a route and the state makes sure it’s a safe route and may add detours depending on construction, overheads, etc.
Chicago has some LOW RR bridges. Some permit companies do not even know about it.good luck and be safe.
I know you have said before that you like the way you hang the flag over you sleeper but it's just wrong.
Not trying to be a hater just being x military it's bothersome.
It’s not wrong. It’s impossible to hang a flag to be visible from both sides correctly… you are referring to if the flag is hung on a wall not in the center of a structure… look at professional hockey rinks the flag hangs in the center of the rink visible from both sides there isn’t a correct way to hang it when visible from both sides
