Great video despite the weather. Seeing all the loading and unloading was a treat, as was the "tour" of the port. Thanks.
"Coffee machine in the truck "
Westcoast log truckers would laugh !!
Love seeing this historic port !
great video as always !
Best trucking music on RUclips hands down ,,
devil's in the details ,,
Thank you 😊
What a shame… Caterpillar an American company now has China making a majority of the equipment, that’s horrible.
There isn't any industry that hasn't been outsourced sadly. Even most medications are made in China . Wars have caused global shipping shortages of many vital medications. Thank you for posting this great video
i just lost respect for Caterpillar. I wish we'd only buy American owned and American made machinery if there is such a thing anymore.
Its called globalization and profit over the people. It want be long before a Chinese earth moving equipment manufacturer comes to a town near you. And yes it will be non Union. An Australian billionaire owns the largest Caterpillar dealership in the world and its down under.
@altetz Don’t single out Caterpillar tho. All major brands have facilities overseas. Almost every make and model can be seen on the docks.
Because The Big Guy gets 10%.
That sucks having to load and tie down in the rain by yourself. I feel for you!
Part of the job
Your great editing and detailed narrative really do help to make your videos more interesting and informative. The efforts of loading and unloading make the driving part look the easiest. Thank you for sharing. 👍
Thank you! I am always trying to improve these videos for you guys!
I just scan down thru the comments and found your first name Douglas. I am a 85year old senior living in Massachusetts, I spend a great deal of my time watch you and others working and enjoy doing so very much. My name is Norman, my grandfather was born and raised in Antigonish, N.S. and I spend my Navy career in Argentia, NFLD.so I have a little Canuck in me. If you don't mind a couple of personal questions that came to my thoughts while watching, you work. 1- how long have you been at this work, you impress me with your knowledge and driving skills. 2- Are you married and have chidren, you are away sometimes for weeks. If you do not want me prying into your private life I will understand. Stay safe and keep the shiny side up and the dirty side down always watching Norman
Hello Norman! I am happy to answer your questions!
I have been driving oversize loads for the last 10 years however I was raised in a trucking family so you could say I’ve been around trucks since my first day on this earth! I am currently engaged and soon to be married to the love of my life. No children, it is very complicated to raise children with my absence from home. I am usually gone for work for one week at a time however I sometimes take longer trips that can keep me away for up to 4 weeks! Thank you for your interest in these videos!
Always great to see you Douglas working so hard and being so professional with a great attitude! Many thanks again for sharing your videos!
Great video as always. Sad to see the bridge over your shoulder knowing there are some men still down there.
I had forgotten just how miserable the weather is up there. Reminds me of Massachusetts.
Très beau vidéo, continue à nous alimenter de beaux exploits👍👍
Always enjoy viewing your videos. You make the job look so easy and yet I know it's much more involved. Thanks for sharing. Que Dieu bénisse
Appreciate the filming in the rain. I don't like having to work in the rain, there's no way I could film in it.
Dealing with the weather is part of the job. It was a light rain so luckily I was still able to run the cameras
do you provide the timber blocking or the port?
We bring all of our own blocking. It can be stressful when picking up a machine you’ve never loaded as to what size blocking is needed.
keep up the great work hope it wont effect you guys too much
A sincere th Brother to your folks around the world who continue to support The Port of Baltimore
Wow, hard to believe that port parking lot is made with brick pavers.
Those are High Impact Pavers. They are the only thing that can take the beating of all that heavy tracked equipment!
Sure do like the music.
Hi Doug, There were some very big heavy loads at the port. Transform, part of big wheel loader henging in a crane and very big counter weight. Very interesting to se you drive in to the port and out. Hope you have a great week :)
Oh yes lots of big oversize cargo moves through the port of Baltimore!
Another good video Doug keep on trucking 👌
Wow, never would have considered permitting the fuel stops. They really make you jump through hoops.
@lancecluster ....depends on the jurisdictions. But as Doug says, if PA are known to be hit & miss, it's really cheaper to purchase the municipal &/or local permits ahead of the trip so as to allow access to the truck-stop for scaling and fueling, especially if after exiting you must cross the Interstate via an overpass as opposed to an underpass (but even then, they can be sticky).
But I also know of jurisdictions, which explicitly state "...0.5 miles for fuel, food and accommodation permitted; if crossing an overpass is required, must center-line and proceed dead-slow. Definitely no shifting of transmission while crossing" (or words to that effect).
Grim day to be out in it, but that seems to fit the mood around there.
Hi there Doug. There's nothing more depressing than a windy, rainy and cold dockside. As you pass the green tractors, one of the lorry drivers that I also watch, carries three of them on a flatbed semi delivering them to customers mostly around Wales and southern part of England. Have seen some of your videos, which are great, especially the scenery. Just maybe a thought, would it be possible to view, on occasion, if you could show a map of the start/end, and of your proximity of where you are on your trip?
A moving map would be complicated but I can try to show the route. I will think about this. Thank you
Do you have to go to any training to drive the machines on or is it learn how you go? i don’t mean on your trailer, I mean in general.
There is a wide variety of machines you move.
Learn as you go! I am not an operator. I can drive anything to move it around the yard and up onto the trailer but if I was to dig a ditch it wouldn’t be very straight 🤣
the port sure takes up a lot of land.
Whimppy automatic truck😅 I would LOVE❤ it😂 the heck with all that shifting gears
You made loading that 336 look to easy! How long does it usually take to get back to Quebec from Baltimore?
It’s usually 1.5 days from Baltimore to Quebec via the oversize route
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 oh okay. I thought it would take longer. Not necessarily a week but like maybe 2.5 to 3 days. My geography was little off. Lol 😂
heaviest thing i ever hauled was 22,000 of steel for heat treatment where i worked out of for seven years... so i am in awe of your abilities sir. i'm 76 now in Wyoming, Michigan.
Really good video, thanks
Safe trip Doug!
Maybe you could haul down the Jacques Cartier Bridge? Let us borrow it for a couple hundred years?
I’m m not sure you want our bridges 😅 they are not in the best shape!
another good one, rain to snow, sheesh. be safe........
Another great video Doug.....have wonderful weekend......👍🇨🇦
Hello young man, did you use or get a new camera? Sure a clearer picture
Same camera but I think I got the settings right. Always improving!
Gee, short trailer, lighter-than-usual load , must be like a Sunday drive for you, isn't it?
Practice run for next week 🤫
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 I seriously doubt that you need any practice!
Looks like the supply line from china is gonna be messed up a while. All these great machines being made there, am just glad its being done with all that clean new green energy.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Is sticking on a price tag counts as assembled here? Not your fault, just sad
Good Job. Greeting from germany😊 very inetesting
Is the curfew just because of rush hour? Enjoy ur videos.
Yes cities often have curfew morning and nights to avoid heavy traffic times. I don’t think they actually have a rush hour in Binghamton NY 🤣🤣🤣
I thought you were allowed up to one mile off permit for fuel and/or missing a turn? Is that not the way for Pa? I run in NC and I am just about certain it's that way here.
Every state is different. Most states tolerate exiting off route for a truck stop as long as you’re not superload. Not PA. Legally in PA you are not allowed off route at all.
"Take this thing back to baltimore" lol
Hello Doug Great content as usual. Liked the narration for illustrative purpose for others. I miss loading/unloading in bad weather. NOT. Although everyone loads their way I was surprised that you set your wood in line with the beams instead of across them. I never used pins on new machines except new bulldozers Komatsu D-155's and larger. I got supremely lucky one day while loading at a crane manufacturer. They had a big box of used boom pins and they let me take a pair. Best thing since sliced bread. Have a good day.
Like you said there’s more than one way! I just prefer having more surface area contact. If the wood is in line with the beam the weight is carried across the whole block and not just the edges 🤷🏼♂️.
KEEP ON TRUCKING DOUG 🚚 🛻 💪 😊😊..
When the Port of Baltimore empties the inventory sitting for transport out of the yards and warehouses, there will be very little else arriving for the workers to do. Once port traffic is rerouted by the freight forwarders from Baltimore, it will take years to get a fraction of the prior tonnage back permanently. Sugar, salt and coal shipment will be the first to suffer.
Does the customer have to pay twice for two different trucks?
Yes the cost of shipping is higher because of the weight restriction. After all it is a lot more work for us to make the delivery. Customers usually wait and put low priority loads on hold a couple weeks until the weight restrictions are over.
Hey Doug !!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
And what's the reason for an escort? I haul a 336 all the time.. no escort required
Right on the Maryland permit “Single escort required” 🤷🏼♂️
didn't realise they made the 336 in china
Is that a new Talbert or just freshly painted
And your neighbor seems to be having lots of trouble getting forklift loaded
Indeed he did. Unfortunately he was not well equipped. At the end I lent him my wood blocks so he could make a ramp onto his trailer. And I stayed long enough to help him get it centered on his trailer before I left.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 that was good of you, I noticed mostly day cabs in port thinking they were taking machines to different port to ship out
Shipping lanes will be open by end of may
Great video. Curious, do you have to be sitting down in order to engage the controls.
No. You need to be extra careful if you get up with the hydraulics engaged because a bump of the controls will move the machine. The lever arm to the left engages and disengages the hydraulics.
what brand rain gear are you running? @lucky
For spring and fall I usually wear my winter coat and tuque in the rain. I like to stay warm in a cold rain.
Turn the closed captioning words on for those of us hard to hear. Tks-
Any Indian truck drivers?
Not for this company at this present time
I’m having coffee ☕️ too
👍👍👍
tu devrais te faire des pines pour tighter tes traction
Comme expliqué dans le vidéo c’est pas nécessaire vu que les tractions sont pas plus bas que la remorque
Hello Doug, I asked you month ago to activate the Button for subtitles. It's very difficult for me to understand your comments. I am living in Koblenz, Germany.
Greetings from the town of Rhine- and Mosel-River
I understand and I apologize. I need some spare time to learn how it works. I am very busy right now. Please bear with me.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Developers of free/libre software get many demands from people who don't understand it's a hobby in addition to their regular job, and it tends to burn them out. This appears very similar. You don't owe anybody anything through your hobby. It's your time.
(He can find another way, like asking a developer of a free browser extension to make enhancements in their spare time.)
@frankhoffmann1533 Das ist sein Hobby. Bitte stehlen Sie ihm nicht den Spaß. Ich bin mir sicher, dass Sie das nicht so gemeint haben.
Do you always stay in your truck when you're driving
@ernierundall1336....as opposed to what? ... walking beside it?
Yes. No hotels for us.
I didn’t hear you singing in the rain ☔️ 🤣
If the microphone was on you might have heard me cursing in the rain 😅
Could you haul that ship?
I would love to try!!
I also come from MircoAufachse - TV America and he advertised for you in a video but I can't remember exactly what he said
Welcome!
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Thank you very much
In 1999. My mom told me I wouldn’t have any loads January because of Y2K. I told her,d her us truck drivers don’t need no computer to get a load. 👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Caterpillar from China.
😂 the brige
Cat sold out but kept the name 🤦♂️
Army Corp eng said reopen next month or june the latest
Good news. I’m sure it is a priority!
c est moins drole charger ca as la pluie
Parti du jeux 🤷🏼♂️
2 years the experts are saying & it wasn't a coincidence it was just a pattern we've been following for years now!
I passed you on I-81 north of Scranton. We were headed back from Florida, just in time for the snow to welcome us home. I enjoy watching your videos, because you go through a lot of familiar places and I try to follow your routes.
Small world ✌️
Place looks like a ghost town compared to normal traffic. Hopefully they get an opening so the port can start having ships in and out soon
Small ships and barges only... for a near future.
If two top three months is soon, yes. It's progressing so far, but, when they start the under water removal, it will slow down greatly. Also, they can only fit so many cranes and barges, with tugs, in that area, these are not small size vessels.
Poor guy beside you at the port trying to load the big forklift was having a tough go. Rain makes it that much tougher.
Indeed he was. I helped home to get his machine on the trailer and centered after I was finished with my load before leaving.
Man I was saying the same thing 😂😂😂😂
@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 nice and good to know that you did 😂 respect
Oh, that's what was going on back there. I thought it had something to do with what he was loading. (New to shipping videos.)
Thanks for putting an educational spin on your video. It is greatly appreciated. I've been a little impressed that the videos RUclips is recommending to me based on watching the "What's Going On In Shipping" channel are educational in nature and for someone that doesn't have a clue about how our goods get to where they're going I'm enjoying it! Videos are much more interesting when you explain how the equipment is used (liked the side note you gave about the trailer they gave you to put the equipment on) and the things you know about getting products from point A to point B (talking about how some of the fuel pumps were too narrow for you to feel comfortable pulling your rig in a middle pump). Very enjoyable. 😊
More people need to have a realistic view of what's involved with things that just arrive at their front door. It would give them a better appreciation of ALL the people involved in that process.
@cassiebanks thank you for taking the time to watch my video and allow me to share what I do on the day to day. Just another piece of the big puzzle!
Port of Montréal Port of Halifax will be getting busy here soon I bet
Load in the rain and unload in the snow, not a very happy load. And having to reload on another trailer because of some stupid road restriction is a waste of time for sure.
Always good helping other haulers out, you never know when it will be reversed.
I once helped a guy broken down roadside with some bearings and seals and some labor, and told him he did not owe me anything, Couple of months later he sent a package with the parts and a check for a hundy. I called him to send the check back but he would not take it.
"Must be the Baltimore Express" - I get that alot 😂
Tim told me it was you after 🤣
Used to be Scott that had that honour, now you can share it with him
Respect young man, a real professional.
I’m sure someone already asked but you run 2-3 cb radios? Or a scanner?
How about your GPS? Thanks
CB, VHF, UHF
Love your content and the way you talk about what you are doing, please keep it up.
Ooo Shit damn that looks crazy
Retired driver here in BC ,enjoy your videos keep on movin those heavies
I know we're you are at I used to work in the dundalk marine terminal in Baltimore back in 1983 thanks for the video God bless you and be safe out there amen
In watching many of your videos, it appears that many of the transports move through areas using rural routes that can take you many miles out of the way instead of using more direct routes such as the interstate system (USA) or some of the bigger roadways (Canada). I understand that these routes are specified in the permits (federal, state/province, city, etc), but I have not seen where any of the loads are specifically identified as hazmat. Is this due to the impact on other traffic, less high and wide conflicts, or something else?
The detours are usually to avoid obstructions on the main highway system. Low clearance overhead bridges, weight restricted bridges, reduced width construction areas… etc
Doing the GREAT JOB with what you have to work with.
Well you just answered my question about the boot on the exhaust I couldn't see it before
A lot of people will say it is not necessary to cover the exhaust on machines with newer technology. But it is our company policy to cover everything. It literally takes 2 minutes
Yeah I retired 4 years ago and I hauled heavy equipment for a lot of years for various companies local I know I had a yellow boot that guys wear when they're laying pipe were your boot fits inside of these rubber boots probably wouldn't work nowadays on them excavators cuz those exhaust pipes are so short could you use it on a loader though for a tire loader backhoe probably would work on a Dozer too anyway you answered my question is for what time it takes better be safe than sorry only takes a couple minutes
Glad you helped that guy out. Good footage on this video. Keep at it! 📽
I take it you offer Tree 🌳 trimming as an additional service 😂😂😂😂😂
Loading in the rain is never fun. Great videos, love them all.
nice job guy be safe where you heading to now good luck
23:15 Clean Kwhooper 900
yeah, your port there is shut down for any heavy haulers... they are working 24/7 on the whole affair.
Lucky, Very interesting video, especially since the Bridge/Ship incident! Great Tour of the equipment dock!! I used to hate a wet day of work! Stay safe, my friend 🚛🐘🟧🟨👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
People are losing jobs already, a big ship is stuck at a harbor for a long time - what a mess..
Very Christmasy, Doug.
Sad to see that Cat makes machines in China these days
More than we can afford too, just was shocked to see how much much material is on this earth and in Baltimore.
IT LOOKS ALMOost like a ghost town over there stay safe
wow, that's a big load you have there sir. Snow is just what you need.
look so beautiful when you were driving in the snow you be safe
Nice job!
Love your videos. Cat's made in China😮
And throw the Iron and keep on Trucking.
I visited the Walmart home base lot once when i was a driver trainee. wow... big.
