    I occasionally see extended tractors of this sort on the road, for some reason nearly always pulling trailers for moving companies (Mayflower is one I definitely remember), and it amazes me how the drivers can maneuver these monsters.
    It's damn shocking to consider that this truck had to set the Smiths back well beyond a half a million when brand new.

    • @casey6556
      @casey6556 Год назад +71

      From what I’ve read, the reason that they’re usually moving company trucks is that these trucks are limited as to their total weight as well as the trailer size, so the only time you have the spare weight to put into a giant cab like this is when your cargo isn’t very dense (as is the case with moving personal possessions or parcels).

Its not the moving company that’s limited, that was never stated by anyone. The limits were in reference to the tow rig due to its massive size relative to a more standard rig

    Please understand the freight they are carrying before you leave ignorant comments. They haul jet engines basically airport to airport they will never be backing into tight spots. This truck is perfect for what they are using it for. If you listened to them they said they are out for 8 to 9 months then take the winter off. This type of hauling is not for everyone but perfect for the ones that like it. This is a perfect job for husband & wife teams.

    I worked at a Kenworth dealership/repair shop years ago. We occasionally had some extended sleepers come through. The longest one had three rear axles and a tag axle that was under the sleeper. It had slide outs, full-size washer/dryer, shower, bathroom, kitchen (with stove, fridge, freezer), and a master bedroom.
    The back deck plate was a patio with a grill and smoker. The couple said they spent close to $2 million for the custom tractor and matching trailer. They hauled exotic cars and could fit up to 9 in the trailer. 4 down and 4 up using the lift, plus their personal subcompact that was loaded at the back of the trailer.

They don't worry about 90-degree backs into a tiny alley off some trashy street in downtown LA. These owners haul $$$ freight and can afford these incredible rigs. As with anything in life, people that can't, complain and put down other people's accomplishments. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Smith on your beautiful rig and safe travels.

      Michael Prosperity..... You Can, have a "job like that".... here's what it takes.... If you have a minimum of three years over the road commercial driving experience, and meet the criteria listed below.....
      Previous auto transport, HHG, HVP, car carrier driving jobs or similar specialized experience
      Dedicated to customer satisfaction and good company relations
      Compliance with FMCSR, company safety policy and tax regulations
      Clean motor vehicle record
      Have verifiable experience in driver safety and cargo securement
      Qualified drivers candidates are rewarded with strong revenue, and full administrative support for your operation.
      Individual and team car carrier drivers with specialized auto hauling driving experience are encouraged to apply.
      You can tell from the wording, that you would not be just a driver... re: pay close attention to the 3rd line down in the "criteria" list and the last three words in that sentence. Good luck.... here's their website - reliablecarriers dot com. They have 5 or 6 different divisions including the enclosed vehicle transport division.

  • @Romans--bo7br
    @Romans--bo7br 4 года назад +379

    Thank you for this video... great interview. I've reading many of the comments and replies below, 85% of it is ignorant BS. I'm a retired owner operator with 51 yrs of trucking behind me.... so I do know a little about trucking. This couple is leased to Southern Pride, which is primarily a Very Specialized carrier in the transporting of Military and commercial jet aircraft engines... which generally only weigh between 3,000 to 8,000 lbs (depending on type and application) and they rarely haul more than One engine per trip... though, occasionally will have Two or Three depending on engine size, so weight is NOT a big concern as far as the truck is concerned.
    Also, they generally haul engines that are scheduled for overhaul on the eastbound run... usually to either General Electric's Jet Engine division or to Pratt & Whitney, and return westbound with a "fresh" engine(s) and the time factor from point "A" to point "B" in either direction is Very "tight" and there is NO time for sitting around truck stops or anywhere else en-route... which is why ALL of Southern Prides Owner/Operators have "Large Cars", Not "just" the Smiths here in this video... though some are Not as long in the wheelbase as this one.
    Southern Pride also does GSE moves (Ground Support Equipment) which also includes Over-dimensional as well as aircraft parts, not only in the contiguous lower 48, but also internationally.... I think that in the now 40+ years in business.... they probably have things figured out a bit better than some of the "expert" nay sayers on here.
    Southern Pride Only accepts the Very Best of the Best for Owner/Operators with Years of proven experience behind them and with impeccable credentials, both as previous long term Owner/Operators and in personal character.... which would exclude At Least 85% of the "wanna be" (re: Phony) truck drivers I see climbing out of trucks these days, with nose rings, spandex, tattoo's from head to toe, pajamas, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum... and no real integrity to speak of.
    Over 90% of Southern Prides Owner/Operator teams are Husband & Wife (as in Male & Female), and most of them have been married for Many years with no prior marriages..... they are "Solid" people. The Owner/Operators who have what it takes to "make the grade" and are excepted to run for Southern Pride... make a Very Nice living, close to $300,000 per year... Minimum.
    As Chris Smith stated... they spend most of the year, on the road... straight out with very time sensitive, High Value loads, the rigs that SP's O/O's have... are built for what they do (though there are some that have bought "2nd hand", but are very suitable for the running and loading conditions with SP, so all this garbage I'm reading on here about "they're too heavy" - "too long" - "can't back up a trailer" - "very impractical", etc, etc, etc, ad-nauseam.... is pure BS, written by a bunch of faceless "keyboard cowboy experts" who are completely ignorant of the subject at hand.

      @End this police corruption..... I do Not recall discussing the overall length, not their trailer length - individually. If you're looking for an argument, or trying to just be insinuative... I'm not playing that game with you, nor anyone else.... nor do I need to give a detailed report to you on my years of experience.... which is now approaching 51 years, over 30 years as an O/O... and just so you know... my longest load was 287' 9" long... a refinery vessel hauled to the refinery way up in Yellow Knife, NWT. You don't need 53 nor 48' trailers to haul jet engines... SP is legal in All 48 states.
      PS: I will say one thing.... I agree with your "handle" here on YT.
