Ok people. I don’t know why my son called it a pilot truck other than he does not do this for a living. That load is not considered oversized to the point where I need any escorts or pilot vehicles. Normally I move that machine by myself. The pick up truck is just here to load and unload the machine that’s it. I’m not in charge of him and where he drives or I would’ve had him go to Dunkin and get me a coffee.
I’ve been pulling reefer full time, and walking floor trailers occasionally on weekends for about 3 1/2 years now. I wanna start in construction trucking. Hopefully somebody will give me the chance to start in a tri-axle and then work my way up to hauling dump trailer and lowbed.
Did heavy haul for quite a few years, gotta love going into subdivisions for site developers. The easiest is dealer to dealer on the road. I did up to 11 axle. I am in Florida no different on the idiots!
@@phatboizbackyardkustomz9006 yeah people get so mad when I call people “dumb Or idiots”. I’m like if you haven’t done it before go ask a guy that’s has how he feels 🤣

@@butchs6099 I've moved plenty of track horizantals including 6800's They are 89,000 not 98,000. And these guys should've used the outriggers. YIKES!!!
That's one big RC Tractor Lol, Thx for the video & God Bless You all! This is way better than anything that's been on TV for the last 30 years in my opinion.
The cape is not an easy place .... I moved a (Bomag 1300) for quite a few years I know 1st hand the bridges (taking the both lanes ) 😅 alot safer...... good job man love your videos I miss the cape
Nice setup, this was fun for me to watch. I too had a similar loads while working in Aspen Co. They need “Green points” to rebuild so they must first grind up the old house to rebuild. The blonds in range rovers were purdy but none to sharp when dragging one of these through their neighborhood, lol. Thanks for the memories. Keep on Truckin.
Yeah the hell of a Job Enjoy that video too oh it's a good one You look quite heavy So my friend you stay Safe and have a good day I will catch on another one
What I do on a tight corner like this is hang close to the right and go past the point where you would turn about ten or fifteen feet, now reverse with your steering wheel hard to the right (jackknife) now go forward into your left hand turn and keep to the right and the trailer should make it around the corner
so ive been around trucks all my life, literally, i came home in a 45 ton truck 3 days after i was born. since then, my dad would take me out whenever he could so i grew up always wanting to drive trucks, which i eventually did when i was 21. i took my car driving test on the very same day i turned 17 (im from the uk) and took my truck test exactly 4 years later. im now 58 and still my heart skips a beat every time i jump in behind the wheel of a truck, and ive been driving them for nearly 40 years. someone said once, if you do the job you love, it isnt really a job............
I just hauled one of those last week. I highly suggest using outriggers on those 11 wide and larger machines. No sense toe-nailing a machine if you dont have to. Also, i could see $9k for a multi-core radiator pack on a $1.15m machine, thats actually a pretty generous price!
No one uses outriggers around here, the New England curbing is too tall in these neighborhoods and they get bent. I have to, in some cases, literally hang the tracks over the curbs. Yeah it’s pretty crazy! Thanks for watching!

No oversize sign? Did you recently post about not running on a sign on a facebook post where the guys were talking about how to wrap around the hook in the bumper? Swear I just saw this setup lol. Nice driving
I agree 100% on the safety issues vs cars, I'm a long time Heavy Haul/Oversize driver and I do the same thing all the time. I'm as safe as the day is long, but some people do really try my patience, that turn signal that I'm using isn't a suggestion, it's on because one way or another, I'm coming over. I'm not into bullying traffic, but you're either going to extend me a bit of courtesy and let me in, or I'll educate you on how to do that. I've had the finger, the horn, everything else, but at the end of the day I've never been involved in an accident or been cited by Police, so there's that. At any rate, great video and keep it safe, driver.
@@thomaskirk9341 you know it’s funny I took a lot of heat for taking both lanes over the bridge but the day after I film that video that was a nasty accident involving a truck that didn’t take both lanes in a car tried to pass him . Then a couple days ago we had a kid try to pass on that bridge and spun out the car. He clipped the nose on, spawn that car around and shot it into the oncoming traffic in a 79-year-old woman got killed. That’s why the cops do not bother us when we take both lanes. Hey thanks for the great comment. And thanks for watching!
@DirtBrute I do float work in Canada. I should have said that on the highway if I have my wipers on intermittent, I can move on the highway. If I have to keep them on full time I cannot mive an oversize on the highway. I have permits for counties and cities which does allow me to move in the rain

Love this video so much man I had to subscribe I’m 19 I have cdl school august 19th planning on learning manual trans and I playing on doing flatbed until one day I’ll be driving like you doing oversized
@@dooley251 that’s awesome! Congratulations. Just take your time and pay attention and listen to the old guys. That’s what I did when I got my cdl at 18 .

The only reward for doing a good job is not being remembered for doing a bad one 😂. Well that and if you get really reliable you can name your price!
@@DelwinCowan-mb8so 6NZ is awesome . I also had a lot of luck with the MBN. In a Pete with a 18 speed in 373’s. One of my favorite trucks I have a drove.
Covering the exhaust came from older engines that had a lot of over lap between exhaust in intake valves and it certainly was a thing. Not so much these days
That’s how local lowbed work is . All last minute. Paving equipment is far worse. You find out where it’s going 10 minutes after you’ve picked it up . Thanks for watching!
Lowboy is not easy, especially when you drive for six week straight. And your hook up/dismount is mechanical. I used to drive a semi-truck lowboy, step deck, Conestoga trailer. I ended up to going back working as a travel nurse. One day I want to buy a pre-emissions tractor and a trailer that I can haul a vehicle, a motorbike, and live in. Driving a semi truck has definitely made me a better driver. Being a nurse, I was always aware of danger and hazards. If I was not comfortable moving a load the way it was secured, I didn't move no matter how angry and impatient my boss was. At the end of the day, you are the driver and it's your responsibility to be responsible for the safety of motorists around you and your own safety so that you would make it home.
I'm not sure I agree with taking two lanes when traveling straight on a highway; bridge or no bridge. When turning at an intersection, OK, drivers may not understand how you're turning, so taking up two lanes can make sense. Traveling straight on a highway though? How bad are the drivers there? Are they not able to stay in their lane when driving straight ahead?
That bridge is 90 years old and is scheduled to be replaced because it is obsolete. The lanes are too small for 2 vehicles to safely operate next to each other and there are a lot of serious fatal accidents on there . You don’t have to agree with it but it’s a much safer practice . Plus when your loaded wide you don’t even fit in one lane . They are very small and the sidewalk it tall . Plus most of the drivers in cars are tourist not from around here. Thanks for watching!
I dont like that center deck plate in the rear, sucks trying to grease the cams and brakes or get at whatever. Also we have Talbert do the second crossmember dropped down low like the first axle cross member. U can get the boom down lower on certain machines. Best upgrade
THIS! This is the channel i`ve been waiting for! Thx for posting 👍Of course i hit the subcribe button, the LIKE button and hit the bell....just like everyone should 🙂
@@Nates707 I technically because of the width and the length don’t need the guy in the pickup. Normally I don’t have him like at the end with the excavator. He was only there to help load and unload because I haven’t run that grinder in a couple years so I could remember how to start it and turn on the remote. Plus I asked him to watch the tree branches on the way out .thanks for watching!
It's not really the 4 wheeler's fault. It's the powers that be who could make drivers get better training to get their class C license. But NOOOO... they don't want to do THAT... cause many people may not pass and then you have less people going out to BUY THINGS!! But this goes deep.
@@truckerron I’ve always said the problem is they don’t teach the general public anything about semi trucks in drivers “EDUCATION” but then they send them out to drive around us .
I’m sorry I’m American all the way UG we are behind the times! In Europe all the trailers have rear steering! Witch would have made loading so much easier
@@DirtBrute Fun thing is then the boss asks about potential scratches like what to expect when they send you to an area like that with a way to high truck :)

@@dooley251 I wish you the best !
You wouldn't be talking about Casey Ladelle, and his leafblower would you?
@@PaulieMac77 🤣 nope . Lidell trailers
@@DirtBrute 🤣
What’s the transmission you running and differential ratio I know is a CAT engine
@@DelwinCowan-mb8so it’s a Cummins x15 with an 18sp transmission. I’m not sure on the rears . I think they are 3:90s and I know they are 46s
That thing sound like CAT nice ratio for heavy haul nice machine
@@DelwinCowan-mb8so yeah, it runs pretty good. I prefer single turbo cat any day though. Lol
6NZ is my choice of engine but the ACERT conrod and jakes brake make I like them 209 18A with 3.25 ratio
@@DelwinCowan-mb8so 6NZ is awesome . I also had a lot of luck with the MBN. In a Pete with a 18 speed in 373’s. One of my favorite trucks I have a drove.
yes you are right to many cityotes on the road that today,
Covering the exhaust came from older engines that had a lot of over lap between exhaust in intake valves and it certainly was a thing.
Not so much these days
AWESOME VID!!!
Thank you !
Great Job Steve

In Sweden or Europe vi have steerable axels on the trailer that you can steer whit a joystick 🕹️
@@sp3ko25 that sounds awesome!
Great job my guy, truckers worldwide has the same problem with four wheelers 😢
@@damanayadekunle7232 yeah people in the cars are just dumb because they don’t teach anything about trucks in regular drivers Ed. Thanks for watching!
Good video mate I drive road trains in Australia between 3-4trailers long

New job! Crazy. Now days if there is a tree doze it and build a house or houses or enormous appt complexes
Where's your seatbelt?
Like the W9L lowbed set-up...on Cape has some Riggs...Comonnnnnnnnn.
@@Dinoxt12 yeah we have some pretty ones here for sure !
I think that delivery required a reconnoiter the day before.
That’s how local lowbed work is . All last minute. Paving equipment is far worse. You find out where it’s going 10 minutes after you’ve picked it up . Thanks for watching!
Lowboy is not easy, especially when you drive for six week straight. And your hook up/dismount is mechanical. I used to drive a semi-truck lowboy, step deck, Conestoga trailer. I ended up to going back working as a travel nurse. One day I want to buy a pre-emissions tractor and a trailer that I can haul a vehicle, a motorbike, and live in. Driving a semi truck has definitely made me a better driver. Being a nurse, I was always aware of danger and hazards. If I was not comfortable moving a load the way it was secured, I didn't move no matter how angry and impatient my boss was. At the end of the day, you are the driver and it's your responsibility to be responsible for the safety of motorists around you and your own safety so that you would make it home.
Came for the low boy stayed for the truck.
@@KocaineNWaffles thanks for watching!
You think it's bad in that truck... now do it in an 86" Studio Sleeper!!
@@truckerron no thanks 🤣
Great job!….it’s all the idiots that make it so stressful…which is practically everyone on the road….they can’t see you…like the rig is invisible!
It’s crazy how they pull up to you then panic. Like you cans seek me coming with all these lights? 🤷♂️😂 thanks for watching!
what state was this the area looks so nice. haha imma city boy from south fl so everything is just boring city stuff
@@amariodom4858 Massachusetts . Kingston and Plymouth
That's cool
I'm not sure I agree with taking two lanes when traveling straight on a highway; bridge or no bridge.
When turning at an intersection, OK, drivers may not understand how you're turning, so taking up two lanes can make sense.
Traveling straight on a highway though? How bad are the drivers there? Are they not able to stay in their lane when driving straight ahead?
That bridge is 90 years old and is scheduled to be replaced because it is obsolete. The lanes are too small for 2 vehicles to safely operate next to each other and there are a lot of serious fatal accidents on there . You don’t have to agree with it but it’s a much safer practice . Plus when your loaded wide you don’t even fit in one lane . They are very small and the sidewalk it tall . Plus most of the drivers in cars are tourist not from around here. Thanks for watching!
I dont like that center deck plate in the rear, sucks trying to grease the cams and brakes or get at whatever. Also we have Talbert do the second crossmember dropped down low like the first axle cross member. U can get the boom down lower on certain machines. Best upgrade
Crazy a 55t went for 50-60k in 2002-03
@@kwmiked yeah it’s crazy how expensive thing got . I have to charge so much money now to do simple things because of material cost.
@@kwmiked yeah, I’d like to be able to grease stuff without crawling under that thing. I’m too fat to be jammin myself in there. 😂
I framed a few of those houses in there!!!

@zippo1009 thank you! I really appreciate you watching!
So you don't have to have a pilot in the front on single lane roads? Cool video
@@Nates707 I technically because of the width and the length don’t need the guy in the pickup. Normally I don’t have him like at the end with the excavator. He was only there to help load and unload because I haven’t run that grinder in a couple years so I could remember how to start it and turn on the remote. Plus I asked him to watch the tree branches on the way out .thanks for watching!
It's not really the 4 wheeler's fault. It's the powers that be who could make drivers get better training to get their class C license. But NOOOO... they don't want to do THAT... cause many people may not pass and then you have less people going out to BUY THINGS!! But this goes deep.
@@truckerron I’ve always said the problem is they don’t teach the general public anything about semi trucks in drivers “EDUCATION” but then they send them out to drive around us .
I’m sorry I’m American all the way UG we are behind the times! In Europe all the trailers have rear steering! Witch would have made loading so much easier
@@waynewiberg6435 yup 👍
Always fun when you are in a box truck that is 3.2m high and trees are very close to the road and lean towards you, sketchy as f :)
@@BerraLJ I like the box trucks cuz the do the pruning for us 😆
@@DirtBrute haha yeah when driving a 4.15m tall truck in an older residential area(single family homes), i hit every branch it felt like.
@@BerraLJ yeah I’ve seen the box truck hit all the ones on my street. Thanks for the pruning job. 😂
@@DirtBrute Fun thing is then the boss asks about potential scratches like what to expect when they send you to an area like that with a way to high truck :)
@@BerraLJ 🤣
Great video brother love it Iam a class B holder working on my A’s know lol
