Good day Doug. As normal a great publication again. It must take a ton of time to edit these long ones. I noticed an eclectic powered air valve and a gray and black box on the upper L/S of the chain box. What do each do? Speaking of chain boxes, I really like those little doors on the sides to take your wrenches and such. Using a 4 x 6 or 8 under the front of the D/D must create an ungodly loading angle for a track machine. Do you carry a couple of 4 x 6 or 8 x 48s" to set long ways in front of the trailer to help reduce that angle? Loved the cop chasing down the 4 wheeler. What's the length of the deck in the well for the railcar trailers, 70'? Have a good vacation and a good day.
Were those trailers with the built-in railroad tracks built for this project, or is there enough rail car business to justify having that capability in inventory?
We had 6 trailers custom built for this project. There are 212 trains to be transported over 3 years. After which the plan is to convert them into regular lowbed trailers.
Doug, if you park at one of the rest areas in Watertown below exit 46 you and your team can go up to the Cracker Barrel ( nice trout dinner) or go across the street to Shortys good eats😉
On the long trailer for the railcar load, are the rear trailer axles steered by remote from the follow vehicle, by the driver, or automatic by trailer position?
Hey Doug you know those straps you use to tie down a load well find one (4 inch or wider) cut it into 1 foot lengths and you can use them for protective corners when chaining down those machines and they’re tough 😉
Encore merci de nous faire partager la route avec vous. Baltimore, était-ce a Dundalk? Et comment est le confort entre le Western-Star et le Peterbilt? Bonne route ✌✌✌ (excellent la prise de vidéo de l'état exact du chargeur AVANT même d'y toucher 😉 )
Yes it happens. Especially in places like Ontario where you need to be really big before pilot cars are actually required. Companies don’t budget for pilot cars if they’re not required :/
I’ve been doing oversized loads for 9 years now. Total driving trucks for 12 years and I actually started out as a truck dispatcher for 9 years before I started driving. So I’ve been in the business a while!
Quick question on the double drop trailers and I a no trucker just a fan - seen a lot of videos and the piece of wood between the trailer neck and the truck frame - I am surprised they don't make some sort of extension beneath the neck to support it while its attached to the trailer when you unhook - do they outline that you need to have lumber on hand to support the neck in the trailer manuals (if you have ever seen one?) Thanks for the videos!!!
Most hydraulically operated trailers do have a support that can be raised or lowered using hydraulics. But full mechanical trailers like this one don’t have that option.
I know you have now moved a few of these rail cars, did you originally know you would need to bring rolls of tape to repair the plastic on the train cars? Is that something you normally carry for tarped loads?
So, how is the automagic transmission working out? Is it actually making a noticeable difference in fuel use? ( the reason given to discontinue the manual transmissions )
I will always prefer a manual transmission. If for nothing else just because shifting heavy loads is an acquired skill that future generations will have less and less. But I must admit this automatic is doing the job quite well so far. As for the fuel economy debate I believe that strongly depends on what ratio the trucks has. This truck is geared to pull a bit better. On cruise at 65mph I’m running 100rpm higher so obviously burning more fuel.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 I prefer manual for any vehicle, total control over which gear lets you have a bit more control over speed, specially going downhill. Also, you absolutely must pay attention to the road with a manual, since you need to manually shift, with the automatic it promotes distracted driving by taking that need away.
Peterbilt et transmission. Bonjour Doug. Je travaille pour une compagnie où il y a une multitude de camions. Généralement, les nouveaux tracteurs d’autoroute sont avec une Eaton-Fuller UltraShift PLUS MXP 18-speed automated manual transmission. Je suis surpris pour un camion d’autoroute que votre compagnie a acheté ce Peterbilt avec une transmission automatique Allison (HS fully automatic). Chez nous, cette transmission Allison est pour les camions bennes qui ne font que du local. N’hésite pas à me répondre si tu as des commentaires. Merci
Personnellement je va toujours préféré un transmission Manuel. Mais les bosses chez Bellemare sont vendu sur l’idée que Allison fait le meilleur transmission pour faire du poids. Nos 12 top chauffeurs qui font juste du gros ont tous des Allison’s. (2 western Star, 5 Peterbilt, 5 Kenworths) Ça fait pas long temps que j’ai cet camion mais à date il fait la job. J’ai monté le côtes en Pennsylvanie et New York à 170,000 lbs gross weight sans problem. Le seule défaut que j’ai trouvé à date c’est quands t’asseyes de bouger le camion très lentement avec peut de charge. Mettons pour reculer en sous d’un grue. T’es obliger de garder ton pieds légement sur freins sinon il avance trop vite. Mais souvent les roues de la remorque vont barrer en bougent. C’est son seule défaut j’ai trouvé à date.
Say I didn’t catch how long and how heavy your truck was with the train car also who steers the trailer when I pulled them for High Steel I did from the cab, thanks
Ya know Doug, The more I watch your videos the more I want to go back to AK and drive for Carilie again or just jump behind the wheel here in TX. LOL STOP MAKING VIDEOS he he Na J/K But ya do make me miss driving/hauling a lot. If Canada and the US got on the same page for signing, it would make the job a little easier. Not be biased here but I think the US oversized signs are better in my opinion just because they spell out OVERSIZED instead of just a D. lol DRIVES ME NUTS about people not caring for the EQ. I kept my truck SPOTLESS, I mean you could have eaten off the floors. Come in after time off and the truck is dirty and the EQ is damaged/dirty/not stored correctly, so I feel ya Bud. GRRRR %$%$@%$@%$% Keep up the great work and VIDEOS. :) PS. BTW who is turning the 360 cameras?
Sir nobody would be happier than me if all the states and provinces got together to make some sort of sense out of the different oversize regulations! The 360 cameras are really an amazing advance in technology. It is constantly filming in all directions and you go back after and select the view you want in the editing. Really amazing.
There are a few things about the way this truck is spec’d that I dislike however I must say the 567 is one of the nicest interiors I’ve had. It is a very comfortable truck to spend many days on the road. I believe the new 589 model has the same interior.
Let me ask you a question(Doug is it), you mean after guys laughing at me for taking time to make sure axles etc. were protected that you do the same thing by protecting them. Good to see.
😅 kinda funny I don't need to see the sines where your at in montréal just know by land mark's is and port of Baltimore I forget her name use to haul a lot of equipment out of there but bigger lady black nice person you could ever as for she help ya if she's still there

I haven’t seen you for a while, I thought you was in log book jail. lol you do run some miles! Oops kilometers. How many trucks does your company have?
There are about 80 of us that transport long distance and another 50 that work exclusively for our construction company including cement trucks, dump trucks and roll off container trucks. It’s a big company!
Muzzleloaders have hook points that you can attach to not around the wheels there's other places you can attach to I've done this before and I've helped plenty of the drivers that I've dealt with and you're not getting off to a good start at least as far as I'm concerned I guess that's why I don't subscribe to you guys cuz you're not doing things this way you should be not happy
“Off to a good start” lol I’ve probably been doing this longer than you. There reasons for doing things the way I do. If what you do works than good for you but if you think it’s the only way than you’re just as dumb as the next super trucker. You’re worried about saving 5 minutes but you wasted 10 on your bullshit comments.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 gotta love the random keyboard warrior. but in fairness, the cat loader you moved didn't exactly have "A" good hook point. some of the newer models don't have crap for hook points so being creative is part of the job. hell, most of the bigger volvos only have basic hook points.

Good day Doug. As normal a great publication again. It must take a ton of time to edit these long ones.

There is an A/C unit integrated in the top of the chain box. Maybe that it what you saw?

We had 6 trailers custom built for this project. There are 212 trains to be transported over 3 years. After which the plan is to convert them into regular lowbed trailers.

Yes I always have a few rolls of tape. We often haul plastic wrapped loads. Like the transformer in the latest video.
Doug, where do you hold up before you go over the Throgsneck? Never went to L. I that way we were always at Fort Lee at the G W bridge
There is a wide shoulder at exit 9 just before the bridge where the oversize stage. Much nicer than going through Manhattan!

Are you liking the Allison yet?
It is doing the job but I will never be convinced it is better than a manual

How much does an arced trailer grow when weight is loaded
In length you mean? It will definitely be a few inches longer when the camber goes down
👍👍👍

With the trailer on the ground and no blocks under it... that would kinda stink.
They are supposed to be working on a modification to the pin on axle attachment points. Hopefully it will allow me to drop the trailer lower.
