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!
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.
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😉
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'"
Ouff !! je ne sais pas comment tu as fait .... je passe par là une fois par année et je veux manger mon volant :) !!!! Continue ton bon travail et tes superbes vidéos !! Merci
The second load was a radiant shield for BP refineries on extendible rear steer trailer 95ft by 15ft had to jump out of the cab run half way down the trailer start a donkey engine run to the rear unlock it then walk by the side pulling a lever always had abuse off drivers but had to ignore them you did very well with ur run
Customers always ask why so much on the rate in eastern Ontario and Quebec? Old Canada is not oversized friendly off the main highways and… I’ve been situations on my routing through a construction zone that the jerseys are way narrower than the routing allows. So… stop and the construction foreman takes it in stride and moves them or completely loses his shit. lol Doug…you have an excessive amount of patience!! 🙌🏽
FBI, but French-Canadian: why haven't you stopped, even after hitting so many cars and light poles? Lucky 🍌: I only learned the FIRST LAW so far. FBI: Lequel? Fred, all proud: INERTIA 🐶
You're good so you always calmly get it done but dang Bellemare made that harder than it seems like it could've been. Reasonable to assume you needed the jeep but no way it was by much with it loaded like that. Imagine, closed or shorter deck ext and block it up from neck to rear. Be a similar amount of blocking needed, even if you needed to add a couple inches/cm to clear jeep tires, the benefit in tight quarters would've been enormous. Maybe there was a reason for this loading method that's not obvious, if not, I'd make sure to block the bosses in traffic to give a taste of their decisions. Quick math without exact measurements. As loaded it would've been approx 41k pin load and 69 on trailer (plus unladen). As described about 47 and 63 respectively but so much easier. And the candle sticks survive:) out of curiosity, what is permittable on a quad in QC? Have to be north of 90k to be legal.
The first load I did was bridge beams 100 foot long were the beams were attached to the 5th wheel on a table then the back was a dolly with a wooden bench and a steering wheel on my first trip coming over a traffic island there was cars too impatient to wait they drove under the load scary
Novice question. Due to the width and the route, would there have been an option to load it on its side. Granted, it would put the load about 14 ft high, but would that have been an option?
Because the bridge was loaded over the rear wheels of the trailer that would have made it over 15 feet high on its side. 12 feet isn’t extremely wide with comparison to other loads so I think this was the better decision.
The decision to use a steerable is cost vs necessity. Steerable trailers are heavier and we were already maxed out for weight on this load. A steerable trailer would have required more wheels added increasing the cost of permits, escorts etc…
I've never driven a big rig but I often haul trailers. I know that you can back into a much tighter corner than you can drive through going forward, so much so that you can back in to a spot that you can't drive back out of going forward. Couldn't you sometimes drive past the intersection and back into the lane on the opposite side of the intersection so you'd have a straight shot across instead of taking the turn driving forward?
It’s a cost vs necessity decision. Steerable trailers are handy but they also weigh more. We were already maxed out for the weight we can handle on the amount of wheels we had. A steerable trailer for this load would have required more wheels added and adding to the cost for permit, escorts etc.
I feel those cones should have just been a single lane instead of 2, or just not have the cones. It seemed entirely pointless to have them there. *shrug*

They need to stop parking on those intersections. Such impressive teamwork and calmness under pressure.
Thank you 😊

I really appreciate it 😊
But we got the job done with no real issues other than some lost time so they’ll say it was the correct equipment 😅
Always enjoy getting to ride along. Fred just makes me smile, even when he is just snoozing.
🤣 he’s snoozing a lot
Great video Doug.....treat for Fred awesome assistant......👍
Incredible work! Such a stressful trip. Captivating from start to finish. You handled that like a pro! 💪
Thank you 😊
This must be one of the most stressful trips I have seen on this channel. Like downtown Montreal but it was tight for you
Just goes to show that not always the biggest loads are the hardest. Medium sized loads have their own challenges in more confined spaces!
Wow what a job! Great driving and great crew. Keep omitting truckin
Thank you 😊

.99 per liter 😅 I wish!!!
Fred: Doug you don’t need me to watch and guide you. You got it all under control. Wake me if there’s some scenery.😂
More like wake me up when it’s dinner time 🤣

You are one of a good truck driver bro. Like your content
I was on the edge of my seat hoping he make the sharp turns
Go easy on Fred! From one Fred to another!
nice tunes your 1 heck of a driver i wonder if your going 2 make some of those turns
That was quite the job. Even I was feeling the stress here 😂

Yup and it’s not always the biggest loads that are most challenging. A smaller load just means they route you in narrower places!!!
@ Exactly!!
EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!
Will never understand why permits for a job like this don't dictate the use of steerable trailers.
Anyway, good job, as always!
Thats why he makes the big bucks
would have thought a cop would have shown up at that intersection
I used to be a steers man here in the UK 🇬🇧
Remember to display the subtitles a little longer if you're speeding up the video :)

I notice when your heavy hauling you use the clutch. If you bobtail do use the clutch as well, or float the gears?
I normally use the clutch. It’s just a habit 🤷🏼♂️

We were permitted 78,000 on the quad (9000kg’s per axle). This setup transfers weight to the front better than you might think.
The first load I did was bridge beams 100 foot long were the beams were attached to the 5th wheel on a table then the back was a dolly with a wooden bench and a steering wheel on my first trip coming over a traffic island there was cars too impatient to wait they drove under the load scary
Wow! I’ve never had that happen yet. But would make a good video 🤣
29:26 no one at MTQ bothered to tell the construction crew.
Novice question. Due to the width and the route, would there have been an option to load it on its side. Granted, it would put the load about 14 ft high, but would that have been an option?

Hey! Ça c'est un vidéo intéressant :o)))))
Merci 😊
why did they not give you the steerable trailer. Really enjoy your chanel, always a good day when you post.
The decision to use a steerable is cost vs necessity. Steerable trailers are heavier and we were already maxed out for weight on this load. A steerable trailer would have required more wheels added increasing the cost of permits, escorts etc…
WOW!! That vidio played nonstop on u tube. You must have some patiance for thos narrow streets with that length on
Patience is the biggest part of this job 😅
Nice video and skills
How do you like your new truck so far?
Would you change anything?
How can you be so relaxed in that situation 46:11 ?
No regrets on the truck so far!!!

Couldn't you sometimes drive past the intersection and back into the lane on the opposite side of the intersection so you'd have a straight shot across instead of taking the turn driving forward?
How come you didn't do a rear steer?
I sure hope you sent this to the people responsible for the permits.
They will say we got the job done so it was the correct decision 😅
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 typical government employee behavior.
Cones? What cones?
🙈🙈🙈
The road you reversed down to the site is the same size as all the roads in the UK apart from our motorways that are the same as ur freeways
Who decides whether you get a steerable trailer or not for the load?
It’s a cost vs necessity decision. Steerable trailers are handy but they also weigh more. We were already maxed out for the weight we can handle on the amount of wheels we had. A steerable trailer for this load would have required more wheels added and adding to the cost for permit, escorts etc.

Yes brake retarders are standard issue on trucks these days. In North America anyways
