    All of your videos are inspiring. Coming from a guy that’s never done heavy hauling but it’s definitely an eye catcher. I wish I can get trained out in the real world by the best in the industry because this is truly something I wanna really do as a living. Saludos compa desde Chicago,IL hopefully one day I get to moved to Texas and you can teach me the ropes and get In this heavy hauling game 💪🏻

    I love seeing these videos since I'll be heavy hauling when I get out of the Army in a couple months. I've been doing it already for 5 years hauling my own construction equipment as a Construction Engineer but I can't wait to do it in the real world lol.

    • @NFSGamerful
      @NFSGamerful 3 года назад

      Practice makes perfect my friend. I do heavy haul in the netherlands and this country in general everything is just small (like inches on both sides kind of small). You get used to it, just don't scare too easily. Keep on going and you'll get it.

    • @Grtruckingdemolitionllc
      @Grtruckingdemolitionllc  Год назад +1

      So on this video we were in downtown houston, the city had inspection agents on job site and can get a big fine or in trouble if the street gets damaged. Plus the space to load inside the fence was tight. That was the only way to load it. But when no one is around I do unhook and unload on the street

    • @jessejames328
      @jessejames328 Год назад

      so unhook the gooseneck and lower the trailer can damage the ground?
      would'nt have thought of that...thx
