Beautiful day for a drive, Doug.
The audio quality is poor again on this one. Have faith in me, I will get better quality videos some day!
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 ....don't sell yourself short, Doug....your videos are great, it's just the sound that occasionally throws monkey-wrenches into the best laid-out plans. Comes with the territory.
Thank you for having faith 😇
Good evening Sir, i came from Mirko the German Guy from Canada ( speaks German all the Times, i been watching him over 2 Years) Your Chanel seen on RUclips.
Welcome to the channel!
Lately you've been running into alot of courteous 4 wheel drivers, that's a win. Keep up the good work.
Great video Doug! I was really nice the customer let you film the unload process.
About 29 years ago I was om I80 in Pa, and saw a rig like yours. It was an awesome thing to see and I tried to google it to see what I could find out.
When I saw your RUclips channel you made my day.
.
I love it when you give information to your listeners, very nice of you.
From Belleville Ont and travel into Watertown NY often. Nice to see the new Loves open. They were testing everything the last time through.
Thank you for taking along. I admire your patience.
That bridge on 20 & 78 is being replaced this year it's been falling down for years, lol great vid. be safe out there. From your Buffalo,NY Fan's
:) You're doing at fantastic job... Not only with driving!
I'm one the Germans coming over from Mircos recommendation.
Thx for posting, save trips!
I hope you enjoyed the Air Force Museum in Dayton. I live not far from it and pass is quite often. I've enjoyed your channel for some time as I'm fascinated by what these big tractor trailer units can accomplish at the hands of a well seasoned individual like yourself. Thank you for sharing your videos. They're great!
The museum is great. I’m kind of a history nut and I love the stories behind a lot of the pieces they have there. Standing beside machines that changed history is really something!
Great video as always! It was nice to see the arrival and set up of the crane at the delivery! ❤
I know the audio quality was poor again 😭. I will do better on the next one!
That was 10-4 guy! It's good to see that he's adjusting well.
lol nope. This pilot car driver works directly for us. He is new but learning fast!
Another good one. Thanks. Seeing the unloading and breakdown of the trailer was an added bonus.
Greetings from Germany, great job.
Love watching every new video eh! I film mostly trains, but love trucks too!
Train guys are allowed in too!
I can't even back up my car as well as you handle that monster rig. Well done!
You got the best job in the world. Awesome stuff Doug.
I would have to agree with that statement 😁
thanks for the nice video
Greetings from good old Germany
i'm glad you have minimum traffic.
Congrats Doug and keep up the great videos you do. If you ever want to stop doing heavy hall then you should become a truck driver trainer and teach new drivers how to back even a 30 foot van trailer
Yeah but then I wouldn’t have any new content for videos 🤣. Thanks 😊
Awesome video. You were 90 mins North of me.
Just subscribed!! Was watching you for a few days , and you are already my inspiration 🤜🏾🤛🏾 safe drive!
Happy to have you with us!
@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Yes, Sir, just a huge favor from you only when time is unlimited. Could you please show how you chains with boomers?
Best greetings from Switzerland
@Allemoc....greetings right back to you from an expat since 1969, from Zug.
Now living in Prince Edward Island, the smallest province of Canada on its east coast.
@@andrep8287 Sounds very interesting. I'm from near Bern myself
I hope you had a great time in Costa Rica my wife is from there.
Beautiful country
I always enjoy your videos. I wish you didn't have to go through all the detours. Keep the videos coming.
If I didn’t have detours I wouldn’t have so much video content 😅
Congratulations on 20,000 subscribers and I’m glad to be one of them such awesome videos of my favourite job of doing heavy haulage down here in australia so wishing you safe miles cheers from Tim in queensland australia
Thank you Tim 😊
Congrats on 20,000🎉
Love your videos. Great skill
11:58 This is the true Special Cargo event from American Truck Simulator, i love it!!! 😎
@aderbalmatias739....sorry, but ATS' AI could never replicate this professional backing-up quality performed by real-life Doug. You see, it takes the "6th sense" to maneuver this way....something which cannot be comprehended by AI (or programmed by their masters who have never learned it themselves at the wheel of such heavy haul equipment for many 100,000 miles).
Take this comment from someone with in excess of 5.5 milliom accident-free kms since 1974, over half of which by transport trucks and heavy equipment.
@@andrep8287 Please, read my comment again...
ATS has a special cargo event, but it's just a game itself. It's fantastic, but not complete.
The TRUE AND DANGEROUS work is made by people like Doug, that's what i said 👍
🤣🤣 no fighting gentleman! The games are very interesting. Personally I was addicted to farming simulator for a few years 🤷🏼♂️
And another great video keep them coming 👍
Hi Douglas - congrats on your engagement- will she ci-drive with you eventually??? It would have been interesting to see how you prepared the trailer for backing up… Keep on trucking!!!
No co-driving. She has a great career going for herself so I don’t think trucking is in her future!
Parabéns excelente vídeo e profissional, comecei a seguir o canal neste mês. Esses caminhões são muito bons, continue com os vídeos cada vez mais. Grande abraço e assistindo daqui do Brasil.
What happened to your rear oversized load sign? I do enjoy the videos and skill you and your crew show in them.
There was no holder for it after we switched out the booster. If you could see the back there is an oversize banner across the bumper
You mentioned that you were going to “set up the trailer to back up". What, exactly, do you have to do? You videos are very well done and very informative. Thanks for posting them.
Need to relieve the hydraulic pressure on the booster and pin the articulation point. Also I had to shim the floor before backing under the crane.
Snow again this week (4/3) in central and northern NY State.
always some idiot comming out a parking lot, doesn't realize that he didn't gain much, and if there would have been a law enforcement there, could have gotten stopped.
@jameswalker7670....unfortunately enforcement are never there where they're needed ;-)
Thanks for another great vlog, Doug.
Question: do you actually have access use the "rear-view center camera" while driving, or is it only available to view once uploaded to your laptop? Also, do you use only GoPro or also the Insta360 cameras?
Keep up the great work. Take care.
André (The Road-Scholar, PEI)
Yes both GoPro and Insta360. There is a new model the X4 just released and I think I’m going to have to break my piggy bank!
I do have a wireless backup camera that I have used mostly with the wind towers. You can see the video display in some of my wind tower videos
keep truckin baby !
They didn't unwrap their present before setting it in place. I guess that's normal.
This unit was actually unloaded at a storage facility and will be transported again for installation. That’s why they left it wrapped
❤👍
we,ve been here before hay.
I’m interested in heavy haul. Wish I could have started with flatbed instead of dry van
Never too late to learn something new!
Great and very interesting video, but unfortunately the engine is very loud and it is difficult to understand you (as a German).
I am working to solve audio problems for future videos
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407Thanks for the thumb. Mirco may be able to give you some technical tips, as he had the same problems.
when are we going to see more video
If you had to, could you drop the trailer somewhere safe to put on fuel? Or is that out of the question when using the jeep setup?
We can always unpin the trailer if needed. With wind towers and beam girders we block up the front of the load so that the weight isn’t entirely on the jeep when unpinned.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 makes sense - congrats on 20k!
Can you tell me what video equipment that you are using. The camera quality is very good.
GoPro and Insta360
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Thanks for the information. One other question if you have time to respond. When it comes to pilot vehicle services, what are the three (3) most important qualifications, experience, and/or other factors that you look for?
@user-ih4tk7nb2e punctuality, ability to read a map and ability to predict where a trailer is going to go when turning
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Again, thanks for the reply. Admittedly, I am surprised since those competencies should go without saying for that service to be provided. Enjoy your videos very much, have learned a great deal from them, and an understanding of the challenges that oversized load drivers must deal with daily.
Back to emergency stops,what happens if the sled brakes don’t act normally would you be in a serpentine situation
Yes it is important that all brakes are operating properly to avoid catastrophe
Did you do any fishing in Costa rica.
Indeed I did. I got a nice Mahi 😊
Hey Doug, does the company send you to training for learning how to back-up a trailer with multiple swing points , or do they throw you to the wolves ?.
Thrown to the wolves. Sink or swim! If you don’t break stuff they might give you a second chance 🤣
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 .....
@luckybananaheavyhaul3407.... I think you're being a bit harsh with your bosses.
I doubt that they would allow just about any greenhorns to operate their heavy-haul equipment and say "debrouille-toi!" (cope with it) 😂🤣😅
I got a load to go get in Ontario this week 60ft long québec I'll need everything on I was told d sine flags lights hole thing I'll put it with a 4ft off the back about 4 up front
👍
i thought you can only haul loads from the USA to Canada as a heavy haul driver
Both ways. Canada - USA or USA - Canada. I am not allowed to take a domestic load USA -USA
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 can you do domestic loads from Canada to canada
Yes because I am Canadian citizen. Same as American citizen can do domestic USA transport
@Haan-o_o Both. The DOT has issues with foreign licensed trucks and equipment doing domestic work and customs / immigration has issues with foreign people working without proper work visas and I have heard of visas being issued in special cases for truck drivers but this is not common.
How do you bill for time when crane mix up happens?
@Crashing310....Doug is a company-driver, and he's paid by the hour. So he doesn't worry about billing.
Ah your out by tremcar tankers
@lucasdobson5957....While Bellemare Transport has different terminals in Québec, their heavy-haul division is based in Trois-Rivières.
That transformer in the video was picked-up in St.Jean-sur-Richelieu, and if I'm not mistaken very close to the Tremcar Tanker trailer plant (I frequently used to pick-up new B-Trains (RTAC version) for delivery to Western Canada....so the video pick-up area reminded me of those days many moons ago).
@andrep8287 yes that is the place!
McDonald's, I am hungry can we go through the drive through?
NO, there's food at home. Ahhh mum.😂😂😂😂😢😢😢😢
ฉันดีใจทุกครั้งที่คลิปใหม่เด้งขึ้นมา😊❤
My hats off to your driving skills. Having grown up on a dairy farm and having to learn to back up a tractor, forage harvester, and a four-wheel forage (hay) wagon, that is nothing compared to your backing up under this load.
That’s funny because I often compare these trailers to hay wagons. The idea is similar to
I'd rather back up Doug's trailerssss on nice hard surface than backing a tractor, forage harvester, and a four-wheel forage side dump wagon or gravity wagon in the mud, offset wheels and short hitch. I'd like to see Doug try that
@@stuartroland9605 Awh thanks at least i'm not alone, i'm in the mud again feeding cows these days, it all went good today though in Manitoba Canada
agreed, those are some impressive skills
@@friendlyfarmer344thanks for the food! Hats off to you my friend 🧢
Greetings from Germany, great job.
Congratulations on your engagement, when I drove I would never have been up for those types of loads. 53ft trailers in the city was enough for me.
I've been with you from close to when you first started with your channel. Keep up your great content Doug and thank you for your hard work with setting up cameras and with editing. This is the work most watchers have no idea how time consuming it can be.
Thank you 😇
I agree thanks very much and setting up for the video’s is lots of work as well done as yours are Thanks again
when are we going to see more videos
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 waiting on some new videos
I just started with flatbed then tankers I'm going to do heavy hauling one day
You're an amazing driver, great videos, love riding along with you !!!!
Good to see you back now. Now we will get to seeing 👀 brilliant driving and videos. We'll come back Doug.
Those pilot car drivers are a vibe man. New subscriber and love the content, I want to own my own trucking company one day with dry van, reefer, heavy haul, flat bed, and even cattle hauling. Keep up the vids brotha!
This video is not my best work. Many issues with poor audio. Stay subscribed for better quality future videos!
Do customers need to pay an added charge for days you just sit and wait? Seems like it would be tough to make money when you can't keep your gear in the road making miles/kilometers.
That is the business we are in. Heavy haul loads move at a slow pace with lots of waiting time. That’s why the cost per mile is much higher
Hi Doug(?) - another great video and picture of calmness in the face of adversity. Speaking of calmness, meet Aussie hauler Shane - runs his own RUclips channel and is a constant source of entertainment (ruclips.net/video/LgDoSHQltoU/видео.html).
I’ll check him out thanks!
Your driving skill's are amazing!
Thank's for sharing this vid and greetings from austria 👍🤝
Nice to see the shout out for Mirco's channel as quite some following his where correctly advised to check out yours. Et toujours, bonne route !
So very cool. You've probably used some of our permits going through the US :)
Another great video doing things btw the right way no cutting corners
Hell of a good job Doug. As soon as I saw the crane approaching the job sight, I said it's a Grove. Who ever plans the routes never drove a oversize load trucks. Traffic circles are not designed for tractor trailer trucks.
Yeah but if it was easy it wouldn’t be fun! 😅
So is Canada part of North America!!!!!!!!!!!😂
Definitely! Our bridges are no better… maybe even worse!
Beautiful job Douglas. The museum at Wright Petterson is amazing. Glad you had a chance to check it out! Congratulations on getting married man. Hope you last as long as I have. Fifty years and counting! LOL
Fifty years is something at this day and age! Thank you 😊 and the museum is really great. I was never personally in the military but I’ve read a lot of the stories and it’s something to be standing beside machines that changed history. Gives me goosebumps
6:45 -- Amazing, a 4-wheeler that has a clue.
Greetings from Germany , nice job 💪💪👍👍
another awesome video. Hats off to you
00:02 How...
How is this possible? You keep moving the truck backwards in a straight line, even with 3 fifth wheels!! 😮😮😮
Just 2 articulation points. The rear booster is pinned straight for backing
Great video as always have a nice day
Not a big fan of automatic gearboxes, but your truck seems to handle the heavy loads well.i know you can knock a gear up or back or two but I still like the stick to let me know what's good or bad as always have a safe one, From NZ
I agree with you. This Allison has proved to me that it can do the job however I still prefer a manual
Doug, I thought you had to carry 5 spare tires when hauling oversize in NY?🤷♂️
Can you add subtitles to your videos for the hard of hearing we to like your videos but sometimes can’t hear your instructions to your escort drivers and the information you give out for the upcoming job thanks 🙏
👍👍👍 MircoAufAchse - Truck TV Amerika 😉
14:52 Always a crazy driver crossing the way, ALWYAYS!! 🤬🤬🤬
Day 2: can you please do a video on walking beam loaded and what you have to when you're not loaded and shimming 🙏🏿please
I don’t do walking beam often but I’ll try to make a video next time I get one. We only have 2 walking beam trailers at this company
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 thanks I'm starting in an 2+3+2 this week
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Ive watched thoroughly just about all your videos I'm currently on 8 axles but I'm getting a jeep soon and you are a very skilled professional driver you're a very good blueprint respectfully
In my neck of the woods. I had to step down from pilot car do to having a seizure. No driving for at least a year
Sorry to hear that. We take our health for granted
Dealing with gastro after Easter. Great video to watch to boost the morale. Thanks for taking the time! Go habs go
Ouff that’s a crappy deal!!! Sorry had to 😅
I'll bet you hate them roundabouts. In the county I live in N.Y. its loaded with them! I love all the beautiful scenery in your videos.
I must admit I am not a fan of roundabouts. Wide ones like the one in this video are not so bad but some have much narrower lanes.
Sure is strange not seeing 18 speed shifter 😂
I agree
Danke für die Tour . Schöne Grüße aus Bernloch ( Germany) .
Great job Doug and Congrats on your engagement !
Thank you 😊
👍👍👍
Brother passed my CDL driving test on Saturday and have a interview on Thursday
Yes Sir! 🤘🤘🤘
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 hell yeah moving forward quickly thanks bro
I spent August - December in Columbus, Ohio. I spent 6 days at the US Air Force museum (3 weekends). I'm pretty sure I missed something though.
Great video, as always :-) Thanks
One could easily find something new on every visit to that museum 👍
You bet.
Haven’t been there since 1983 do they still Glen Miller in there
Hey Doug !!! Hope you enjoyed your ""VAC. "" in Costa Rica & OH. !!! 😂🙂🙃😉😊👍👍👍👍👍 Won't be going to the "Baltimore "" Port in the near future as you well know what happened there last Tue. !!! 🤔🙄😵
Funny you say that because I’m headed to Baltimore this morning! They still need to empty out what’s left on the dock.

Another good one and congrats on the future Mrs, may your marriage last as long as mine has so far at 55 years 😉
Thank you 😊
Guessing No Cats from Baltimore for a couple of months at least
We still need to empty out the stock that was already on the dock. I’m actually headed there this week. It will be interesting to see if they start brining this equipment into different ports. The are ships already loaded and in transit. The economy will keep moving they just need to find a way around Baltimore.
There is equipment as far as the eye can see. Not just CAT. Don't know why people think everything is instant.
Whats the point of driving 5Mph over the bridge?
Does this bridge don't hold your weight or what?
Thats an interesting crane never saw a crane with a trailer
The bridge is old. Going slow reduces the vibrations and shaking.
@Jens.M....as @Taid44 explained below, many bridges and overpasses are way past their "best-before dates" all across the North American continent (i.e. USA & Canada).
Thus, the jurisdiction's engineers will prescribe where overweight loads must either reduce the speed to 5 mph (8 km/h) or "center-line" a bridge/overpass, which means straddling two lanes to spread the weight. Sometimes the Permits will also specify that no gear-shifting may occur while crossing such "crumbling" structures...and this again in order to reduce the vibration and shaking.
Note: If such speed-limits are imposed, the Permits may also demand that "State-Police Escorts" are required (especially on Interstates), which must be booked at least 48 business-hours in advance. (and, heaven forbid, you forget to order such escorts).
That backing job was excellent. I imagine the trucker waiting for you to back under your load was equally impressed.
