thanks for the nice video showing all that snow, I never get 2 see any snow where I live. I visited parry sound once and spent time walking round the town and lake.
OHHHH. You caught my interest when you said Mack. I have had a Mack for the last 4 1/2 years. Great video. I use to do OD loads in the mid 80's. To old now. I am 60 with over 4 millions mile., By the way my Mack is a 12 speed. Which makes it a Mack-matic. Thanks for making my night. By the way, you talk funny. Of course I am a Texan so everybody talks funny. LOL
Hello Sergei, Thanks for the videos I enjoy watching them every night. I just got over brain surgery for the removal of a non cancerous tumor, the recovery has been tough so I don't sleep much, I enjoy watching your videos at night. Tony
Last Saturday night, we got about 4 inches of snow in FortWayne Indiana, just a bit to early for me, I haven't even got my AC out of the window yet, weatherman said it sat a record for our area, as far as amount of snow this early, if I had money, I would have a winter home in Arizona, out in the desert .
I was at that same rest stop in Perry Sound back in September when I went out to BC and then back to Ontario on the Greyhound bus. ... Great video as usual Sergei
+Canada Rob I forgot to add the pictures to the video. If anybody wants to see the photos I mention in this video, check out this link. The pictures in question are called 'Frozen Lake' 1, 2 and 3. sergei-dratchev.artistwebsites.com/collections/landcapes
Sergie, you got good defense against the cold virus. Going from Canada cold to Florida warm back to Canada on snow, by this time I would've had a bad cold with temperature changes. And also dealing with truck stops where this time of the year, a lot of people are sick and everybody have to grab that Pilot or Flying j door handle to enter and that's where most people grab that virus from someone sick.
Hello Sergei what a transition in the weather go from 30+'C in Florida to Perry Sound ON. down to freezing and 6 inch of snow on the ground looks nice , take it easy and be careful on the highway for slippery conditions , take care only 90kn to your destination . It was nice of them to unload for you ! So where to from here now Sergei back to Camebridge ?
+dave allen I'm heading back home. There was a potential heavy load in Sudbury but it wouldn't be ready until the end of the month; so I ended the day at the same rest area just south of Parry Sound, ON where I started this morning! The snow has all melted; the power is back on in the building, and life is back to normal. Gotta love Lick's Homeburgers!
Sergei with all the wind resistance on this kind of load you should be allowed to charge a wind surcharge fee for all the extra fuel you have to purchase. Or perhaps all of that is already figured in the freight rates for oversize shipments. Well atleast fuel prices are going down in the US again now.
Hello Sergei. Can I legally pull 4 axles trailer with my 13 freightliner cascadia tendem axles 80,000?Or I need tri axle tractor to do this kind of job in the usa?Step deck is not really working out for me :)
Sergei i was wondering and maybe someone else could answer this, when you had your truck built is there a reason why you didnt get a steerable lift axle? Does a steerable lift axle have a lower weight rating?
can't get a steer axel with a set of duals on truck not enough room, would have to go with a float tire and with a float tire you lose some weight rating .
+bulldog0046 originally i wanted a lift axle with single tires; the rating would have been the same 20,000 Lb. having dual tires is safer as you can still limp to a tire shop if you get a flat. as for the self-steer axles, they cost here about 3 times more than the traditional one I have. the high cost was the main reason i went with a conventional 4 wheel pusher.
+steve nyvonne lyons im curios how do you loose weight rating with a wide float tire? im asking because alot of company's are going to the super singles over the duals?
Something to do with the spif law up here in ontario I'm a gravel hauler I do believe we lose 1500 kg with a float/ super single tire over a set of duals ... I've seen cobra Stargate custom manac end dump manufacturers actually modify their frames to accommodate a set of a duals to take the weight maybe different in states I don't know
Hello sergi your videos are very instructive thank you for orienting us to those who are going to begin in this world of transport, question that you use GPS
hey Sergei, why don't you get a Tonka truck and haul it when you don't haul nothing, kids love seeing that i did when I was small lol plus my dad did it when he hauled heavy equipment.
It seems that you didn;y enjoy this load Sergie... :) .It's a good thing that all has ended with no problems. I believe that this was your last load before you go in vacation in Moscow ,right ? Have a nice day , Sergie and keep up the good work !

I was watching some of your older videos. You made a comment that some people don’t like long videos or videos everyday. I say the more the better.

+Peter Jenks you wouldn't happen to be the guy they saw walking on water?
Please please please, upload the full videos of you driving I like to watch trucker videos while i go to sleep, the long videos are very calming.

***** Yes I hear they are really good , thanks Sergei take care !
I like your numbering of the episodes, btw.
Great job Sergei, you are use to the snow yes

I absolutely love the POV.

One scoop per dump truck load.

Duals that steer 100% turning radius
I see my company, CRST! 🤘😜🤘

Burnie Tasmania. Unfortunately now built in Thailand hundreds of Aussie jobs lost for profits.
If those were solid tires, you would have a vehicle without tires or being a tires delivery.

How long have you been driving for?
Did you ever haul in Wisconsin?
hey Sergei, why don't you get a Tonka truck and haul it when you don't haul nothing, kids love seeing that i did when I was small lol plus my dad did it when he hauled heavy equipment.

+Sergei Dratchev (Heavy Haul TV) i was thinking of getting a garmin or a Papago
Man so those wheels are pure rubber..
I was born in parry sound
Another great video thanks for sharing have a safe trip home to Russia see you on the flip flop! Lol !
Dang I'd like to haul that thing
have you pulled two 53 foot trailers with ur MACK truck AKA "TURNPIKE DOUBLES"
no. that would beat the purpose of having a heavy haul 4 axle truck.
u should try it once
Uncle Sergie, you took down yesterdays vid before i had chance to watch it. whats up?
+mhappy01 not sure what you're talking about. episode 279 is there and it's public. i didn't do any videos between 279 and 280.
+Sergei Dratchev (Heavy Haul TV) my mistake, thought there was a 281 already..
clean your hood off
just who taught you english ?
twitter page @ hydrostream72...have some good old school trucks on there for pictures
