I think he said 14' required the escort and this was 13' 11" . I guess you've got to "draw the line" somewhere. But that is an awfully wide load for an intracity route. I am sure they don't want this any more complicated than necessary, but to have a different criteria for intracity vs interstate routes makes sense to a guy like me who knows nothing about this stuff. Probably not practical since most routes consist of both. But this is an interesting learning experience for the "layman".
Before my retirement I did twenty five years heavy haul, five years ice road at Yellowknife NWT and ten years flat deck. Hauling 14ft wide without escort always gave me sweaty palms. Forced retirement due to cancer, you are doing a good job, teach the youngsters well.
My husband drove truck 35 yrs and riding was fun…but today there are too many entitled drivers or so they think you would want to smack just once…I hear the calmness in your voice…. You are an excellent driver…..you don’t haul where we live but you go right through my old stomping grounds I would buy you a coffee..stay safe out there and make sure you only drive as fast as your guardian angel flies. Dawn
i love when you explain your routes. being from new england and driven most of the roads you have driven down to baltimore, you have balls of steel driving that 14 foot load thru newark. you are a pro!
As an ex UK trucker and now doing the same thing in Australia, that was an interesting trip to follow along with. Being as you were left alone to load, l thought you did a bloody good job. I disagree with some of the comments about getting close to the car, l thought it was up to him/her to access the situation coming up in front of them and not try and slip through a gap that wasn’t there.
Well said. I'm not a trucker by any means but I give them all the room they want especially abnormal sized loads. I can't fault Doug with his experience
I wish I knew but I assume you're talking about the interstate entrance. I do stuff fairly similar in dims to Doug. He did a good job but that is not what I'd call shooting a gap that wasn't there. That was a 4 having his lane disappear 30' in front of him when I bet from his perspective it appeared to be plenty of room in the disappearing lane 4. Doug was put in a crappy situation with no escort (immediately acknowledged it) by not so bright penny pinchers. The general public is not getting paid to do the oversize load so I Never Expect them to know what I'm doing. Obviously I appreciate when they do but it isn't their job and they shouldn't be immediately bashed for not giving way.
Had to smile when you were driving through New Jersey. One advert was about the funniest lawyer in NJ, and I'd be worried about driving in that place, there were few adverts about the best lawyer for accidents. Doesn't get my vote of confidence🤣
Another good one, Doug! The details on loading and how you chained it down were great. To say that highways in that part of New Jersey are a maze is quite an understatement. We lived a bit west of Newark for over 20 years and drove those roads, especially to Newark Airport, many times. We became convinced they had a rule in the highway department that you couldn't build a new ramp to connect two routes if you could find up to five existing ones to link together to provide the connection.
your videos are super interesting... hauling all that heavy equipment through cities and down the road. Sometimes I have no clue what you just said. So I watch and learn. Thank you.

Hi Doug as always a great insight into some very interesting places you have to go through to get your wide loads delivered and as always a few cars that make your job even more difficult than it needs to be so wishing you safe miles cheers from tim in queensland australia ( keep on trucking )
Wow plan B to load saves time but balancing that on wood blocks is gutsy. U definitely know what ur doing. Safe trips with these unique loads Beautiful view of Montreal. I didnt know it was on an island, thanks for that info
49:55 Another interesting fact about the REM is that during the testing period, there was a vehicle fire right under that bridge. We got really lucky with that one. It did not create any significant delay. There's been a series of fires under bridges in the US theses last few years that have caused collapses.
Just be glad you didn't hit the 20 in Montreal in rush hour! As for the rest, great job! No issues, except a couple of dumb drivers. I'm actually surprised you didn't have more idiots here in Mtl. I used to send out loads at 14'6" wide, and some of the horror stories I'd hear back....I'm amazed we never had an impact! BTW, I have done business with the place you delivered to :)
I would expect none other than a BMW to have pulled that maneuver right before your destination. I'm sure quite an arrangement of words ran through your mind there.
Across the channel at Redhook we actually help the drivers with spotting you as an extra eye while you load for safety but that's us P&O probably will charge you for that too 😉 great job.
@ManuelFernandez-qf1fm....you not only spot as an extra eye...you guys at Redhook also assisted me to get a cab or Uber, after dropping a self-propelled Ro-Ro unit at your terminal, to get to the US-Customs/CBP office to cancel a bond, before being dropped-off Newark Airport.....with your help I just got to Customs before they closed their offices. So, please consider this compliment as my belated THANK YOU (it seems the Newark Port area is not liked by cab drivers).
Thanks for sharing another interesting video. I really enjoy seeing how you handle the challenges of transporting these large loads through some tight spaces, as well as some challenging traffic. One suggestion: could you include a way for us to see the actual route you take for these loads?

Keen Transport in Decatur IL regularly pushes trailers under loads. I believe that is where I first seen it done. I just adapt the technique for my situation!
These big ocean ships can’t afford to stop in every port. They drop off in a few key distribution points and it’s up to trucks and trains to do the rest!
@russellmcknight7226....if anything besides Newark, it would be the Port of Montreal (accessible to all Ocean liners all year round). But, as Doug explained, the shipper of this Hyster decided that they were getting better rates to use the Newark port destination, as they are probably shipping more volume to the US than to Canada.

Having an escort vehicle when 14' wide would certainly be easier on the nerves when traveling on the busy roads. My guess customers don't want to pay for extras that aren't legally required.
I CAN NOT BELIEVE THEY DIDN’T HAVE A ESCORT FOR THE BEGING. You my good sir are a great driver.

are there skidplates under the trailer that you can slide over the concrete?
The bottom of the trailer is flat steel. We drag over bumps in the road often
Problem with your right side light as well driver i changed mine but now got to fix the plug
Did you figure that out that loading technique on your own or did you learn from other operators?
Keen Transport in Decatur IL regularly pushes trailers under loads. I believe that is where I first seen it done. I just adapt the technique for my situation!
👍👍👍
When's the new rig making an appearance
Still a few more weeks
Just wondering would it not be easier to bring things like that into port of Saint John or Halifax.
These big ocean ships can’t afford to stop in every port. They drop off in a few key distribution points and it’s up to trucks and trains to do the rest!
@russellmcknight7226....if anything besides Newark, it would be the Port of Montreal (accessible to all Ocean liners all year round).
But, as Doug explained, the shipper of this Hyster decided that they were getting better rates to use the Newark port destination, as they are probably shipping more volume to the US than to Canada.
Une petite frayeur avec le gars en trottinette lol :o))))
Doug you sure get your exercise throwing those big blocks of wood around. Then the chains and binders to top it off !!
Keep the rubber side down 🙂
Some suckers pay to go at a gym 😅😅😅
Alison 4000 ? Ive got 4 levers ! 4 speed range box , 6 speed main box 2 speed splitter and reversing lever all crash double clutch shift , a bit different to yours lol .
Probably does a better job with more gears to choose from!
Pas mal joli les murales le long de ton trajet, tu pourra les visionnés dans ton vidéo :o))))))) , avait tu une lumière de brulée, le son du clignotant semblait rapide ? ;o)) Toute un chariot élévateur, pas eu beaucoup d'aide me semble pour le chargement.
Oui 😅 j’avais une court cercuit dans le derrière du camion. Les lumières de la remorque étais fonctionnel donc légal!
How does the auto hold up to them heavy loads ?
It does the job surprisingly well. I still prefer a manual but it’s mostly a personal choice.
"... a measley 4' in Montreal." Seeing that the water is liquid and not solid, that would be in degrees celcius which is almost 40'F.
I can see where the love of your life might come in handy when doing this job. Will see be traveling with you on occasions?
No she has a busy schedule herself that keeps her close to home
I would have liked to see how he chained it up.
Pretty sure if you watch the whole video the chaining is explained in detail 😉
Having an escort vehicle when 14' wide would certainly be easier on the nerves when traveling on the busy roads.
My guess customers don't want to pay for extras that aren't legally required.
You hit the nail on the head! It all comes down to calculated risk and budget cuts!
29:36 car have no respect passing you and getting in your lane when you are already stopped waiting at the light
I see it every day 😞
