I watched this trilogy in one sitting and it was more enjoyable than many movies.
These are the comment that keep me making these videos! Thank you 😊
I must say I totally agree! I too binge watched this in one sitting. This was thoroughly enjoyable! Thanks for this Doug! You are a master at your job. And great teamwork! 👍
Watching those drivers cutting through ditches and passing on the left shoulder reminds me of something I told my grandson when I was teaching him to drive: "Rule #1" I said, "All the other drivers are stupid." What you have to deal with every day would drive many of us mad. But you seem to take it in stride. Thanks for sharing another interesting video. Stay safe out there.
I have become numb to stupid drivers. It doesn’t even fizz me anymore.
To be honest, I don't think the pickup did anything bad as it wasn't in the way.
@@dubious6718that pickup definitely wasn’t a doctor cause he has no patience
That is how they drive in North Dakota lived there for 4 years it was “interesting” to put it politically correct
You are an amazing driver. Your depth perception is unbelievable. Your relationship with your team is commendable.
Thank you very much 😊
LOL. i get tired after a day in a van. Can not imagine the concentration needed for trucing....
When I first saw "Nacogdoches" i thought there must be more than one city with this name but i had never heard of it?...
And then i see you drive past what was Oak Grove Baptist Church, and cross south University drive and then cross the railroad tracks and ...holy cow thats Nacogdoches.
Small world!
It was interesting to watch all three segments of this heavy haul, more so because I live in Nacogdoches, Texas, slightly over two miles from the plant that you brought the load to if you go by the road! I measured it on Google maps, "as the crow flies" and it's only slightly over 1 mile.
Small world!! ✌️
34:27 he was just saying “hi, great job!! “. 😂😂❤❤❤
From seeing other oversize loads going the other way, it looks like the route you used in South Dakota is the preferred route for those loads.
By the way, the dam and reservoir are pronounced Oh-ah-he. In 2011, due to up-river flooding, roughly two Olympic sized swimming pools were discharged through the dam per second.
You see that’s what’s great about this community, I get to learn about kool history from all over the country! Thanks for the comment 😊✌️
Hi Doug, you seem to have a bloody good team with you. Keep them wheels rolling Keep on trucking.
You're definitely in the epicenter of stupid in texas
Absolutely love your videos. Please keep them coming and keep safe out there.
Really enjoy your content, I was heavy haul up until my retirement, Thanks for doing what you do!
Personally I find these videos boring but maybe it’s because I already know how it ends 🤣. I’m glad somebody is watching them 😊✌️
Thanks to your great editing, this was another enjoyable ride-along with you. Your skill at maneuvering these oversized loads is amazing to me. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the comments 😊✌️
Hi Douglas - 25 days on the road must feel long… You need a good rest!!!
Thanks for the awesome content Doug. It’s amazing what you can do with these big loads. It’s also entertaining to see the ‘yahoos’ driving past/around you like you’re driving a Chevy Cavalier.
Thanks for following along 😊✌️
The joys of over size lots of back roads to get to where you want to go. Nice job
Most people don’t realize the crazy routes we take to move these loads from A to B
A to B many times becomes A to Z 😂
The route(s) that heavy haul trucks use are dictated by the state and the trucker does not get to choose. Some of reasons for the routing is obvious others are not clear at all.
One suggestion: even the english speakers can be hard to understand on CB, so subtitling all of it could help.
Loving the videos, keep them coming!
Thanks for the feedback and the suggestion (I’ve had this suggested previously so you’re not alone!). Will keep it in mind for future videos
I hear everything, but I don't understand Gibberish (French).
Enjoying your videos. Absolutely brilliant. Had to smile when you were driving through Denton, Texas. I live in Denton, Manchester, England, and we actually picked up a message in our Denton Community on F/B from a person who lives in the Texas one. Quite a coincidence. By the way, the driver in the yellow truck who was waving his hands because he was mad. He was probably just trying to dry is nail polish, and you interrupted him😅😅😅
Haha 😆 I enjoy irritating people. That’s why I do this job 😉
I've said it before Sir and I'll say it again. Anybody can drive a truck, but not everybody can do what you do(and I used to do for years).
Back seat driving at its best. Love to ride along with you.
i have been that same route, from houston tx to Willingston nd, and back to Houston tx, i cross the Ohae dam it was litely snowing,, but i was only 13.5 wide and 90ft long, sure enjoy the vidoes you do my friend, keep on trucking
Holy snap batman they sure did send you along way around just to get you down to my state of texas but i don't know much about over size loads I'm just a reefer hauler but you are awesome at your job
That music is incredible.
Douglas- When you traveled through South Dakota and passed the Oahe Dam on the Missouri River, you were about 80-90 miles southeast of the location where "Sue" the dinosaur's skeleton was discovered. It was the most complete T-Rex skeleton ever found. It is currently preserved and displayed in a Chicago museum. If you have never read about "Sue" the dinosaur, I think you will find it very interesting. Search for that info on the internet. It was a complicated story involving legal ownership.
I really enjoy watching your videos. I am especially impressed that you speak two languages and that your videos have closed caption translations into English for those of us that only speak English. Thank you for that.
Happy to have you following along!
I travel a lot but unfortunately I don’t really have time to visit these places. A site where dinosaurs were found would interest me.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 I think you would really enjoy reading about the history of Sue the dinosaur. It is a fascinating story. The dinosaur skeleton was named after the woman who discovered it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sue_(dinosaur)

I bet you appreciate a drive in the country once in a while and studying these damn cities
Hey Doug !!! Thanks again for the ride & enjoyed the ""WHOLE "" 3 Parts !! !!! 👍👍👍👍👍 And what this as NO bananas on the fishing boats ??? HAHA 🙂🙃😉😊 Still time to go fishing B/4 the winter really sets in !!! 🤠😎😮
That’s how you get “Lucky Banana” 😉
Hey, Thanks for making this saturday more enjoyable !
Yes Doug, I really am glad and thankful you are posting these videos on RUclips. Thank you. I watched all 3 in this trip and enjoyed every minute...as a senior lady completely outside of the industry, it is very interesting to see you all work and coordinate a trip. Just wondering how you fuel up. (Obviously there's no pulling up to a gas station pump...lol)
Well I’m happy to have you riding along with us! ✌️
Correct to assume these load don’t fit at the fuel pumps. We usually need to disconnect the trailer in a parking lot. It takes a little bit of trip planning to find suitable parking areas!
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Thanks for explaining the fueling method to me. Great videos!
Another great video. Thanks. And thanks for including the shots of the trailer empty. That was interesting.
I was surprised to see that the rig itself weighs twice the weight of the load.
Another great video Doug .....thank you.....👍🇨🇦
Great job. Enjoy these videos.
love watching you videos. keep up the great work.
Lucky Banana lives for the hard ones! lol Great job Bro!
Watched the series in one go and it was great!
Another great video I enjoyed all of your videos 👍
Awesome stuff, safe travels you guys.
Thanks for videoing.. always a challenge on any road, with other drivers. Excellent team
Great Driving.
Thanks for the great video series for this trip,,get some rest.
Always a good trip when it goes good .
Safe travels sir.
Keep on Rolling 🚛 👍🏼👋
46:16 thats an amazing piece of machinery ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, and we also watched end to end.
Geez, Doug. They love their 90-degree turns for oversize loads, don't they?
We got it done do they’ll keep sending em that way!
39:34 Wow!!! What a moron!! Why risking your life for a few seconds 🤦🏻♂️ Too many bad drivers on the road!! As always, I love your videos, I hope you make lots more. Keep on your great work my friend. See ya on the road 😊
That was a WTF right there. I'd get it, a TINY bit, if the van stayed on the gas but they braked immediately like they were uncomfortable with the speed. But this is why OS drivers need to balance out the space we want vs the space we need. Everyone has a tipping point for impatient, some reach it eventually and some immediately. So although that's not our fault, it has to be considered because impatience causes horrible decisions that are much more dangerous than just having the load close to a guardrail or sign.
Crazy drivers on I -80, South 81 through York NE 4 corners
Watching go into the Dakota’s and all that flat terrain it would be easy driving, but those ninety degree turns, made up for the easy drive. At least you avoided a lot of traffic you would have had going through the Midwest states and interstates. Thanks for a quality video that’s well produced and interesting.
Has been a pleasure 😉
We pronounce it oh wa he. Your pilot was funny when he said another for your skills.
Oh wa he… sorry I tried lol.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 it's all good, thought would let our friendly northern neighbor know.
How do you like the Pete versus the Western Star? Glad to still see some wide open spaces.
Safe travels Doug.
I like the Pete interior. But the Wester Star steered better in tight places. And I preferred the manual transmission. Everything has pros and cons
If your company allows you to, I think it would be cool to see the routes you take
Thanks for the feedback. I’ll try to include that in future videos
What an epic journey. Bet there was some much needed R&R after that one.
New to this channel but am hooked. Keep 'em comin'
Happy to have you along with us! ✌️
Good wheelman.
Great video hope you got a few days off.
Yeah, oversize with permits, you go where the highway departments tell you to go for clearance. Know it well. I live between Tyler and Henderson, TX off I-20.
J'aimerais vous voir passer les douanes avec vos super charges. Et sa vous arrive tu de tombé en panne avec vos camions quand vous êtes en chargé et loin de chez vous. Merci pour ces belles vidéos sa nous fait voir du pays que on n'ira jamais car je suis rendu trop tard pour moi et ma femme, j'aime bien et ma femme aussi quand vous parler fran¨cais parce que nous parlons pas d'autres langues et ont est rendu trop vieux pour apprendre. Merci encore !
Vous pouvez me voir passer les douanes dans Partie 2 de cet série 😉
Bellemare est très fort sur l’entretien par ce que justement on peut pas permette à tomber en panne avec ces chargements. Mais sa reste des machines et sa arrive!
Merci d’avoir écouté et suivre ma chêne pour voir autres!
from my exp the rural folks always try some crazy stuff like going in the ditch haha. keep on trucking
In a hurry to go pick up the farmers daughter 😅
I looked up Western Star and it looks like your kind of truck.
Not in this video. This is a Peterbilt model 567 however my earlier videos have a Western Star truck
Another great video even though that yellow semi tried ruining it.
He just didn’t understand because he’s never done loads like that. If some of these impatient people did my job for just one day they might have a different attitude towards oversize
May God bless you and your family in the name of Jesus Christ Amen❤
What a great mission! And it's really cool to see how these trailers come together So many moving parts both logistically and physically! I imagine it's super stressful work. But oh so rewarding when the job is done.
Do you have to camp in the truck on the stops or do you do hotel each time?
Exactly we live for the challenge and it’s a great feeling when the load is delivered and mission accomplished!
I live in the truck. It’s actually set up with everything I need. Bigger than a NYC apartment 🤣
Also keep on trucking.
Thats me in the empty log truck :D 40:06
For real? That’s awesome!
Tell your rear escort he is very good!
Merci. Visionnement très intéressent et j'ai apprécié quand vous citiez les noms de Villes, les # de routes ce qui facilitait le plaisir de vous suivre sur la carte. À la prochaine.
Bonjour 👋te voir Manœuvrer au premier carrefour sur ta vidéo,m’a fait penser au film de Hichcock La mort au trousse avec Gary Grant ,la scène au il attaquer par un avion👍👍
Je doit aller le re-écouter 🤣
This is the only good thing of having the flue! Box of tissues, hot tea and Lucky Banana!
What is your top speed on those deserted back roads?
Stay safe!
Jim
We can still get up to about 70 as long as the conditions are right.
Hope you’re feeling better ✌️
Great Video, great content! Been kind of following your channel for the last year or so...but my father who watches religiously, told me to check out a few recent ones because they came close to my Twin Cities/MN territory...glad I got myself caught up! Keep them coming. Question...when you are out on the road, for say...25days...how much home time do you get?
Last trip I took a 3 day weekend then gone again 🤑 no rest for the wicked! Thanks for following ✌️
Denton Texas home of Peterbilt factory
Something else I did not know!!! Thanks 😊
The city is in south east Texas.
Yes it is!
Very nice video i hope you have at least a week off
A weekend you mean 🤣 no rest for the wicked 🤠
@36:10...that's what she said....🤣🤣🤣
3” 🤣🤣🤣
Other RUclips channels were asking viewers to make sure they were still subscribed (if they were subscribed before). I know I was subscribed to your channel, but when I checked today I was not. Now, at my age, user error may factor in, but you might watch your stats and see if you notice anything weird going on with the numbers.
Thanks for the tip! And I’m glad you checked! Happy to still have you along ✌️
It's to bad the trailer can't reduce enough to bring you down from the oversize. it would make getting home empty easier.
or, better if they could have gotten you a load for the return.
When you start using equipment this specialized such as perimeter trailers the odds that you can time a back haul are pretty much impossible.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 figured running empty would be the norm for such a unique trailer.
When you went across Canada, did you run a northern route to get to the Dakotas? Was a little surprised at route traveled but you can't come down 91 or 87. I use to move equipment in Southern New England and a 55 ton fontaine trailer was bad enough at 60' Keep video coming please.
With high loads going to the Midwest we run across northern Ontario into Minnesota. Less height restrictions the further west you go.
Was this run done in January or maybe December, just wondering because the lack of snow in the video
November 2023
Uhm I didn’t see a river, all the papermills I ever picked up at were next to water 🤔
I have watched all 3 videos and i never saw any breakdowns or blown tires. Was the trip that good!?
You’re correct I don’t usually show that stuff but for this particular trip I don’t recall any issues other than permit delays! Pretty smooth
Who does the music ? Thanks for the ride !
I do ALL the editing! I pay for the music rights through a website. Soundstripe.com
Later 90's I ran a Toronto-Houston corridor regularly for almost two years. Douglas,with your routing. I'm curious to know the (extra) mileage you ran from start to destination.
About a 2,500km detour 🤣
Surprised/glad you didn't have any issues in the US at scales. Isn't legal to haul multiple pieces when over 80 but a lot of the time the scales don't really know or maybe just not care. Looked like the steerable had similar deck length but in the aerial the first section looked much longer. More than just the amount that slid together. Was the first one bigger or heavier?
Yes the first load was bigger but like you said he had the luxury of a steerable trailer!
The multiple pieces over 80,000 is technically true however most places will allow if it’s part of the same equipment. I’ve heard some states are changing their policy and starting to enforce this rule.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Clearly it's better and safer to be 15-20' shorter without the jeep or booster down. However, the easier states make their rules to keep up with the less intelligence required to do this stuff = the less the pay. Give me all the different weight regulations!!!
A prime example of how bigger can actually be a bit easier on the nerves. He had a some more length but has the luxury of being bailed out (with extra work) if needed.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 if you had to put one or the other down, which would you choose, booster or jeep?
Have you ever thought of adding a compass to your video? All the right and left turns I lose track which direction you are going.
Lol sometimes I loose track of which direction I’m supposed to be going also 🤪
Have u ever blown a before with that heavy of a load before
What is that little black box attached to your shirt collar?
Wireless microphone. In my earlier videos it was hard to hear me over the sound of the truck with just the camera
What's the ground clearance with that last load?
About 5 inches. Any lower than that and the trailer bottoms out just hitting bumps on the highway
So how long was that trip? And what are those codes in the description?
17 days...mentioned at the end.
So ive been curious about something.. Since you use a drone, have you registered to use it in the US with the FAA? Since you use it for work related stuff (sort of) it would be considered business use not personal/recreational
No, I consider this project personal use 🤷🏼♂️. I prefer to ask forgiveness rather than permission.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Well you have to for personal use also depending on the weight of the drone, but i wont tell if you wont :) You should look into it though just in case, it isnt expensive and lasts for a few years, i registered mine as i live near a private airfield used for crops n what not, can never be too safe.
@DigitalIP I’m not using it in restricted areas or to spy on the women sun tanning so I’m not too worried. I’m sure the police have better things to do than worry about me taking truck pictures.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 lol yeah, probably right. But you may get someone that complains about it for whatever dumb reason one day. Just something to consider either way, paying $20 or whatever it is now to register is a lot better than a $500 fine or something like that. cheers :)
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 I'd advise against taking it that lightly. Do I think RUclips posting of drone video should make you need a commercial drone license? No. But does it? Yes. Same for needing an expensive permit to take video in US National Parks if you are going to post it.
FAA policy is that as soon as you post it on RUclips, it's not personal, it's commercial. Doesn't even matter whether you're monetized. I know many RUclipsrs who got a warning from the FAA that if they posted one more clip without having a Part 107 commercial drone pilot license, serious action would be taken. It may be a more serious threat to a US resident than to a Canadian, but on the other hand, the feds allowing you to cross the border seems to be pretty important to your career. Being denied entry would suck for you, I would guess.
You definitely won't get forgiveness. You will get either a warning and then severe consequences if you don't comply with their wishes forever, or you will get severe consequences without a warning.
Canada is very strict about some stupid things, also. The first time I drove a rental car into Canada on business (flew into Bufflao, drove to St. Catharines) I made the mistake of saying I was going to make bug fixes and changes to software WHICH I HAD PERSONALLY WRITTEN IN THE USA and delivered to a GM factory in Canada. They detained me for several hours and acted like I was stealing a Canadian's job, to fix my own software bugs to get a Canadian assembly line ready to run. This was 40 years ago, before you could just log in remotely, and it wasn't even software on a PC, it was on a MicroVAX and a PDP-11. But they did issue me a 3-day work permit or something like that, and let me in 1/2 day late. The legal department at my Fortune 500 employer didn't feel like doing 20 hours of work to get me cleared to continue routinely working there to fix and modify the system, so they unofficially told me to just always say I was going there to attend business meetings, not to do actual work. It worked like a charm, though I wasn't completely comfortable being personally at risk to save my employer and customer, both huge companies, from doing a bunch of paperwork.
Later, a friend of mine was convicted of a small misdemeanor crime in Nevada, totally unrelated to Canada. 10.5 years later, he tried entering Canada. They said "We see your 10-year prohibition against entering Canada due to your criminal conviction, just ended. Welcome, but we advise you to not do anything illegal here." He never knew he'd been banned, until after the ban ended. He was lucky his job didn't involve crossing the border.
Every RUclipsr I know who got the warning, managed to pass the Part 107 license exam, almost always on their first try, despite it not being easy. Some paid $150 or whatever for a course, others just studied on their own. They were all pretty smart people to begin with, but so are you. If I were you, I'd add an FAA Part 107 commercial drone license to your resume, CV, or whatever you folks call it up there. I mean one zed seven.
27:36 passing on a double yellow?? Wow. People cant wait 2 minutes huh? 😂😂😂. Dumbazzes
Another riveting video of loads too big to be anywhere! Good driving skills would be an insult to you. Fantastically great driving skills would be more accurate!
Hi Doug just this week found your channel. I am enjoying myself catching up on all your video's, yes I am retired. I worked for years for what is now Tormont Cat, then retired working for Cummins Eastern Canada, Mississauga Ontario. I worked in the power gen. dept. on the big boy's 81 and 91 litre 18 & 20 cylinder engines. I am curious what power you have in your trucks. By the way enjoying your video's.
Thanks for following, happy to have you along ✌️
Most Bellemare trucks are running X15 565hp Cummins
You will enjoy the next video. I get to haul 2 generators. One 35 ton and one 50 ton! There is also a video on this channel posted not long ago with some big generators we hauled up from Virginia!
Doug, as always, I really appreciate all the work you put into your videos. I had to exercise patience, until you revealed all 3 parts. lol. Question: What were your options if @33:14 you didn't clear the bridge?
Great drone work at the end.
P.S. Don't stop on RR tracks. 🚆😎
Option A) if we’re only missing a few inches I can usually lower the load so that the trailer is just skidding on the road. If that still isn’t enough option B) is to back up to the last exit and find another route. Not a good scenario but theoretically they shouldn’t route us under bridges that are too low. But mistakes in the permit can happen, that’s why we use a pole car and slow down when it gets close.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Thanks for responding. I didn't know about Opt A, since I assumed you were already as low as it goes. I did think of Opt B, but didn't like it, although you're very capable of backing the whole thing back up to Montreal. I did receive my regular geography lesson as I learned about Oahe Dam which was opened in 1962 and creates Lake Oahe, the fourth-largest man-made reservoir in the United States.
Your beard will soon be ready for you to play Canadian Santa. 🎅

You better not be talking that French when you get to Texas! lol
If in Louisiana, French speaking Cajuns are common.
