That is the most insane job of getting from Point A to Point B that I have ever seen! How you overcome every obstacle you encounter is ingenuity in action. Thanks for sharing.
The stupid american trailer industri need to take notes from other manufactures outside of Usa/Canada how to make trailer that have steering axels like in the EU and the rest of the world like US/Canada is sooo far behind
I do not disagree with you. However the Ministry of Transportation (I hope that is right), the apparent agency that developed the route (as was stated in the video early on). My assumption is that the trucking company does not have the enforcement capacity. It would be up to the MOT to either enforce a restriction of parking along the route, or have the Police do so. It is apparent that the source location and the destination locations will likely remain the same and the route will be the same used over and over again. This does not appear to be a one-time transport event.

Thank you so much for posting this! I used to haul oversize and this brought back so many memories! You did a Great job of staying cool under pressure! Fred did good at staying cool too!!!
From a builder's perspective we never hear or experience what it takes that of truckers to get items to the public. I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos, Douglas. Thank you.
Doug you guys have nerves of steel. I got stressed and I wasn't even there. Phenomenal job. You handled the challenge like the pro you are. Look forward to the next one. " Keep on truckin'"
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Dumb question Why not transport them vertical. I can only think of horizontal due to requirements at receiving but if those are bridge beams they would need to rotate them anyways
At 1:14 the sign in front of you is perfect! No trucks except local delivery. Guess you quality as it's local! That shot should be the cover picture. One of the best videos yet as far as action. And kudos out to your entire team.
Awesome video. Wicked driving under trying circumstances! Amazing how you keep your cool in pretty stressful situations. A very good trait to have in your line of work. Other issue, who decides on the type of trailer that is going to be used on a particular job. I think in this case, it appears they screwed up by not sending a steerable unit. I realize that they only have so many units, but this obviously did not work very well and is not very productive. A lot of drivers could not have done what you have done in this situation for sure. Belmaire I hope realizes the driver they have with you! Keep up the great videos!
Quel travail exceptionnel! Ta patience et ton sang froid font preuve d'inspiration à chaque vidéo. Étant opérateur de niveleuse et de camion aile-charrue, je vois les choses plus simplement à présent. Bel accomplissent Douglas!
Merci 😊 J’ai passé 3 hivers sur un charrue. Travailler sur appel et tjs la nuit. Après 3 ans j’ai eu assez. Je lève mon chapeau à ceux qui clear les chemins pour nous! 🫡
I love when you knock down everyone of the lane dividers you know the laborer on the job must have been pissed he had to set them all up again great piece of work big guy next time get steerable rear axles so when you get to Montreal you can take her down st Catherine street be safe great chauffeurs stay humble be safe
That guy Shawn looked very competent & helpful. It often seems like you're doing everything by yourself. That was one of the most awkward jobs I've seen you do. Well done you.
Thank you for this exciting episode. It's great to see how you achieve the impossible. For me, you are the king of heavy haulage. Please never stop making videos of your work. I love it so much. Greetings from Germany.❤
Awesome video as always!!!! It's incredible how calm and collected you can remain in very stressful situations. I laughed so hard at those old folks that refused to move out of your way at 1:00:12 they totally deserved to be startled by that air horn. Like MOVE!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Wow. Watched that all the way through. Stressful to watch - I can only imagine how stressed you were, but you didn’t show it! Hopefully the company will invest in some more suitable equipment before they send another load like that through Montreal.
Thanks for sharing. You brought the viewers along, and we felt a tiny part of the stress that you experienced. Your team did a good job. Fred is looking good.
Whew boy this job was a sticky wicket! I can't imagine being able to move such a big object through an old city like this. Super well done and thanks for the videos!
Love the dog, great maneuvering in tight spots, those cones are made to runnover if they in your way, worry about the stuff that don't move, love the content east coast Canada NB 🇨🇦.
Just when I thought we had seen all your tricks you introduce something new to pull off a nearly impossible manoeuvre. Dumping the suspension in the trailer on that corner was a masterful move. You are truely a master of your trade who still managed to ask the rhetorical question of the year! “ Are we having fun yet?” 😂😂. I have to say those police were absolutely fantastic to jump in to help to! Controlling not just the traffic but impatient pedestrians and cyclists and any other hazard they identified. Possibly your best video so far, and we have watched nearly all of them. I am going to celebrate your success with a cold beer so cheers from Australia and as you say…keep on truchin 🍻.
Guess it’s time to sell the Pete conventional and get a cabover for those city runs! 😂😂 As always, great maneuvering skills and understanding how to reconfigure your axles to make it work! I guess Fred is staying in my seat! Lucky dog! Stay safe. Enjoyed the ride along! Jim
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 but what d'you think about cabovers regarding this type of job anyway Doug? Just curious what pro-driver say about. Pros and cons. Cheers!
You have one very beautiful truck, and yiu can tell you take very good care of it. And your an awesome driver, i can tell your going to go far in your choosen profession.
Good afternoon Transporter Doug , That was a tough one, sorry I don't have many words today just staying warm being retired. But I must say your doggy saw you parking and he looked like he saw a squirrel I thought he was going to jump,LOLLOL. You're a good Doggy daddy. have fun driving back.
OK, I'm now on part 2 (next day for me)🤣. You've just parked up, and I can't believe the idiocy of pedestrians. Is it too much for them to just cross the road and walk down on the other side?🙄. Just finished watching, and a bloody job well done. Absolutely brilliant driving. I can now let my breathe out🤣🤣🤣
Nice work, guys. A trick I did one night trying to sneak around a building was to drop the pusher on the trailer to lengthen the wheel base, backed up, raised it and pulled up and repeated until i walked the trailer far enough around to pass. I don't know if you could have done it this way or not but maybe it can be a feather in your cap the next time. Safe travels!
As a plow driver in the winter in Ontario, i'm always amazed and how impatient drivers are, but in this case, it seems to be the pedestrians lack of common sense and patience. Amazing driving as always bud! Keep the videos coming!
DOUG YOU ARE THE BEST!!!...WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!!.TO TAKE A LOAD LIKE THIS THROUGH MONTREAL WITHOUT A STEARING TRAILER AT THE BACK IS JUST CRAZY 🤪 😜...BUT SOME HOW YOU DID IT..
Reminds me of when I worked as a secretary in Trafford Park, Manchester, and worked for a steel fabricators. They did the welding, shot blasting and red-leading the girders. What you are towing Doug reminds me of the old bailey bridges that the British Army used to use back in the day😊. And great seeing Fred again. At least you don't have to worry too much on the height of your load🤣🤣🤣. When my brother was in the Merchant Navy back in the late 1960s/70s, he visited Montreal and took in Expo 67. He brought home some souvenirs. As you're attempting to straighten up on Sherbrooke, it reminds me of visiting France. Very similar😊 with all the signs in French. Yep Doug that would be my last and final option as well, uncouple and dump the load and call it a day🤣🤣🤣🤣 Very surprised the police haven't turned up to help with matters. Bus drivers and pedestrians are the same the world over. Brainless. You know who the professionals are, the lorry drivers. The ones behind you haven't moved an inch, giving you space. They know what you have to do. Just a shame nobody else does, You took the words right out of my mind. That was my thought, leave the extension bit, and carry on without it. Great minds think alike😉
Another challenging job tackled with absolute professionalism. I noticed the Co-Pilot still isn’t pulling his weight! 😂. After this adventure, a couple of weeks in Costa Rica would be on the cards.
Born and raise in montreal yes folks hauling heavy load in montreal worse is around cityhall.is just insane due street made for horse and wagon no joke.Drop off this real work.Thanks video.😊
Salut. je n'ai jamais vu quelqu'un d'aussi PATIENT. Vous gardez votre calme en toutes circonstances. Vous etes un exemple à suivre. Salutation à vous et à votre équipe.
absolutely fantastic work. I know just how hard it is on the equipment to be doing jackknife turns while wheels, axles, and frame is all bound up on top of being way over weight. My biggest concern was all the people standing around, feet from tires that are over stressed climbing curbs. A blowout would have been a disaster. Over all, fantastic work. You kept me on the edge of my seat doing those two turns. I felt the excitement when you pulled the brakes after the final back though! The feeling of success after all that stress is what I imagine keeps you and a lot of other drivers doing what you do.
Hi Fred Now your driving in all the areas I know so well from being a OTR from way back in the day 1980's NYC, Quebec, Ontario and back. Fuel was .99 cents per liter back in the day. Great video. Thanks again.
I appreciate you eventually made it to the job site. Who makes the decision to not use a steerable trailer. Certainly lessons learnt from this delivery & the tight clearance issues with regards to turning radius
Hey Doug !!!!! WOW !!! What a trip !!!!! Glad you had GOOD Escorts & Police to help with the turns !!!!👍👍👍👍👍 ""FRED"" behaved himself very well & hope he has space to run when you get him back home !!! I had a dog named ""RUSTY "" when I was on the road & the last run I made with him .he just laid by the door & looked at me going out as he had NO intentions of riding again !!!
Hi Doug and Fred what an amazing effort Doug and pilots in a big city with no steerable trailer and all the inconsiderate drivers to make the day even tougher but as always you get the job done with the maximum effort and minimal fuss awesome job guys and also Fred on a bit of supervision cheers from tim in queensland australia ( keep on trucking )
Shawn was extremely helpful as your eyes around those last two corners. It is great how well you trust his judgement. He was very instrumental in getting that I beam there with you.
I can visualize two alternatives to making the direct right turn from Atwater to Dorchester at 1:13:52. Both would start with a sharp left turn toward René-Lévesque, then cut back as late as possible to continue straight on Atwater but get some angle on the trailer. The first alternative would be to reverse the trailer toward the other lane of Atwater as close as practical to the far curb, then pull forward in a sharp right turn letting the trailer axles pivot in place. That would allow the trailer to be fully rotated within the intersection before starting onto Dorchester. The second alternative would be to reverse to the left onto René-Lévesque, then cross straight through onto Dorchester. It would be more than a 90° turn while reversing. Would either of those methods be feasible?
There is often more than one solution to a problem. What you are saying is basically the same as what the police were suggesting. I got it on the second attempt so my way worked too 😁. We were only on Plan B at that point. Still room for plan C, D….
There’s many people that can’t drive a regular car through downtown Montreal and you did it with that? Impressive! I wish I had been there to see it live

@Inf3rn0BK agreed. But it’s not the manufacturers. It’s the whole North American trucking industry which needs an upgrade!

Shawn was extremely helpful as your eyes around those last two corners. It is great how well you trust his judgement. He was very instrumental in getting that I beam there with you.
Nerves of steel, my man.
Sherebrooke & Atwater! Great combo! But well done.
Go easy on Fred! From one Fred to another!
I can visualize two alternatives to making the direct right turn from Atwater to Dorchester at 1:13:52.
Both would start with a sharp left turn toward René-Lévesque, then cut back as late as possible to continue straight on Atwater but get some angle on the trailer.
The first alternative would be to reverse the trailer toward the other lane of Atwater as close as practical to the far curb, then pull forward in a sharp right turn letting the trailer axles pivot in place. That would allow the trailer to be fully rotated within the intersection before starting onto Dorchester.
The second alternative would be to reverse to the left onto René-Lévesque, then cross straight through onto Dorchester. It would be more than a 90° turn while reversing.
Would either of those methods be feasible?
There is often more than one solution to a problem. What you are saying is basically the same as what the police were suggesting. I got it on the second attempt so my way worked too 😁. We were only on Plan B at that point. Still room for plan C, D….

Very intense. Much respect to your skill and calm nature!
Well done, great job!
