I am just a regular trucker 😂. This is another level of trucking and complexity. Great job driver and rest of the team. May the Lord Jesus Christ protect all of you guys.
As a local driver to the area you come through, I see you all the time and it still amazes me the loads you bring across Route 11. Keep up the good work and Im gonna have to see if I see my truck in one of your videos l;ol
I don’t often comment on UA-cam but I know it is important in growing the channel. Your editing is a perfect mix of fast forwarding on the straight sections, and great detail in the tight turns. You and your team make it look so easy, but that’s due to skill and knowledge. I can only imagine the amount of preparation it takes to plan the route; arrange the permits, and prepare the equipment so it will pass a detailed inspection. Job well done by everyone. Keep the videos coming, and you will see the subscriber count rise!
Nice to see you again. Thanks. It was nice to hear that manual transmission getting a workout. That's great teamwork with the multiple escort vehicles on those tight corners.
Doug it’s always a pleasure watching you do your job so professionally. I’m 75 and retired and have done some oversize and heavy haul in my day but nothing like you just like the inspection you went through you get what you give I’m proud of you and how you handle yourself 👌👌👌👌👌👌
I watched your three part series from Baltimore to Canada. I love yours because it takes you places that people don’t get to see often. I even saw a road sign coming off the Mass Pike saying Providence, Rhode Island. I had the time and actually when you drank your coffee I drank mine. It was like I was riding shotgun. Great driving and thanks for taking us on your adventures. God Bless!!
As I've said before love your camera angles and editing 👍👍👍. Can't imagine how many cuts and trawling through footage you do. Keep it up Doug. Your vehicles radios seamed uniformed clear this Video 👍 Greetings from the UK.
It is interesting to see what all is involved in moving a load from Point A to Point B. The maneuverability of a loads that long around curves, is amazing. Your driving skills are quite admirable. Thank you for sharing.
Nicely done! I recently retired from the heavy towing and recovery industry and while I was never involved with anything quite that large, I can certainly appreciate what is involved. That was well done.
Now that was a good video. It's nice to have professional friendships with people that you interact with. The company before Keen, I would take a 17' wide rear rudder for Gulfstream Aircraft out of the Savannah, GA port. The same 2 Sheriff's escorted me over to the plant so many times that we knew each other by first name's. Have a good day.
I live in New York, I haul oversized as well, but in a baby set up, (8 axles), I've seen your company all over, even a video through Ithaca ny, awesome professionalism with you and your escorts, cheers and safe travels driver!
Well Doug & ALL Escorts --""HAPPY NEW YEAR "" to ALL !!! 🤠😎 Thanks for the video & Waiting to see what 2024 has to bring for the ""LUCKY BANANA " !! 🤔🙄👍👍👍👍👍
Wow Ray, we used to have snow in the UK but nothing like you went through,Yeshua was in the cab with you definately. God bless you Ray i love your vids. Retired trucker Steve.
Back in a StarCar with a pin on!!! So beautiful!!!!! I live for the day you come thru my area of NY and I actually get lucky enough to see you. I live near Canandaigua and Geneva. It would be an absolute pleasure for this grumpy old veteran to see your truck drive by in person just once!!
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407Between the weight and the amount of brakes it will probably rip the treads off of the tire carcass on a quick stop. Is there a larger compressor on the truck to supply all the air tanks?
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 ...the way you monitor and anticipate the traffic patterns all around, you likely will come to a complete stop, before the average car driver even got out of cruise.
I love your videos, Doug, I can't say much for your customer for trying to keep everything a mystery. Be safe until next video. I'm subbing, leaving a thumbs up, and a tap on the bell.
I can barely drive a trailer on a pickup. A 13 axel heavy load looks to be an absolute nightmare for someone like me. Glad to know there are people who can handle that pressure.
Rt11 west from Champlain , you rolled right through the big city …lol of Chateaugay NY . I meet your company’s trucks Rt11quite often . Great video Thanks for sharing.
Your fact of the day; The wires in Chateaugay are all higher on the eastbound side. 🤣 We should be rolling through there again at the end of this week with 6 more train cars!
You must have come thru the border at Champlain NY which is funny because I live about 10 minutes north about 2 mins from the other border crossing nearby. Glad to see they didn't give you a hard time as some of the drivers coming through spend forever waiting to get through.
It was a little weird watching the video. For the most part I recognized all the roads, buildings and land marks along the way. You did a great job making this video. Bon travail !
That's a great big stretch you've got on there. Is that to accommodate the required axle spread for the load, or more or less just how the trailer is spec'd? ...same load here in Europe would be on a much shorter trailer, but possibly with 8 tires per row of axles. It doesn't quite give the same axle spread, and some bridges can indeed be a problem. Some loads simply have to go by ship because they're too heavy to pass any of the suspension bridges, even with jeeps etc.
254k on 13 axles...,western star handled it like it should,. hauled a load of crude one time ,147k# on 7 axles , definetly didnt want an escort , the ol western star (425 cat, 15 sp.)did just fine , had it down to 16mph going up a grade ,60 mile haul,needed 2 scale tickets at the refinery when i got there, truck went to scale max 100k# and pup was 47k#. not bad for a 80K# rated truck???
Simply amazing to see this work so detailled! Very professional for sure! Are your trucks equiped very special talking about engine or gearbox? Or is this a "normal" engine (for sure not the weakest) and an 18 speed? Btw: Thank you for the subtitles!
This truck has just a regular unmodified 565hp engine and Allison automatic transmission. They only thing different from this truck and a normal truck are axles and tires with a higher weight rating capacity.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 That's impressive that quite a normal truck can haul this heavy loads! Here in Europe the difference between normal trucks and heavy haul trucks seem to be bigger than in America.
Heavy haul is always interesting. Why haven't heavy haul trailers with steerable axles used like you see in Europe and other countries? Cool video on You Tube.
i am retired now / but i used to haul over wide over heavy too long up to 200 ft. min in the oilfield for 45 years./i know whats it like to put up with the the masses..i like your vidieos!!
are those cute little tire scales the troopers use even legit???? Seems wild to me haha. I only fallow 1 other trucking channel and i think i found a new fave. Only my second video watched but awesome content!
Great video. What type of cameras and system are you using. Pan tilt is nice. How many cameras and what type. Many thanks im looking to have a reliable clear system on my freightliner.
@ltdees2362....don't laugh....about 16 years ago, while delivering more than 100 new city-busses for from Montreal to Vancouver for the Olympics we had two drivers attempt just that in Regina, in the middle of the Winter...both sliced open the side of their busses from front to back. (the first driver did the initial dastardly deed all by themselves, then the 2nd driver wanted to show the first one 'how to do it right'....NOT).
we just had a 163,000 pound press base delivered from philly docks to buffalo . so total weight very similar and the trailer was much more compact no police escort. 11 axles total all legal. can't take it on the thruway though.
Interesting video, very professional and nice to see helpful authorities. Still don't understand why full hydraulic steer trailers are not used like hear in the UK and Europe .Those turns would be achieved without crossing into oncoming traffic lanes no problem . Unfortunately those trailers would be absolutely useless in the UK due to the overall length. Nice work though guys keep on trucking 😎😎
It's because of "bridge laws" the distance between axles to not overload roadway. That's why you see different combinations of groups of axles. Sometimes loads are transferred to multi-axle, all axles steerable and leveling platform systems to move within power plants, etc.
Curious as to why the deck ext or if it's an extendable then no added weight but clearly you had the room to move forward to get the weight right. Seem to be plenty long for bridge without stretching. Do they just like to torture you??? Either way, your guys did a nice job on the distribution.
The jeep needs it for turning on the truck, and the trailer turns on the jeep. The reason for the 13 axles and the length is to spread the weight out for bridges.
They were referring to the 15 foot deck extension that was added to this trailer but clearly not necessary for the load. We had to make the trailer even longer for the bridge requirements.
If you did these with a POV view, camera on your head, you'd be one of my favorite channels. The hood view is boring, I want to see your dash, when you check your mirrors, etc.
@noone3734....I'm mighty glad Douglas doesn't use the PoV camera....as a viewer, one gets very dizzy watching these videos, when we're forced to "follow every one of Doug's head-turns to monitor his mirror on one side, then pans his view across the windshield to the opposite side mirror. Another "vlogist" from the UK (Scott Andrews) tried it a few times, and his loyal followers voiced their negative opinions.
From the thumbnail, I’d assume the police had to break-check you so you would pull over. Well, you didn’t have to stop for them with all the inertia lol
I’m curious @Douglas about whether you are a owner operator or do you work for a company. Which company so I can apply 😀, I really love the trucking industry🙌💪🏼💪🏼
@carldrexler7883...actually, the "CVSA - (passed) Level-I full inspection" decals are valid for 3 months and are, by the way, color coded (for officers to know if the decal is still valid when a CMV slowly passes-by across the scale-pad). The interesting part is that US-based truckers may legally use these decals as proof of Periodic Mandatory CMV Inspections. Here in Canada however, the respective provincial Ministries of Transport still require their annual (trucks/tractors/semi & full trailers) or semi-annual (Passenger or School Busses) periodic mandatory commercial vehicle inspections, decals and certificates, even if such a vehicle has just been affixed with a CVSA inspection decal by any jurisdictional North American roadside inspection station! (I'm an Associate CVSA-member)
@thepubliceye....funny thing is, that the word "ARRET" is not the grammatically correct French word to define "STOP" (the meaning of the word "Arrêt" actually means a bus/train/tram stop where people get in and out of public transport)....in all french-speaking European countries, their octagonal red traffic signs also read STOP.
The Peterbilt has a nicer interior and is more comfortable however I find the western star is a better working truck. It has a better turning radius and I prefer the manual transmission

No steering. I know steering is common in Europe but unfortunately not in North America. Only for extreme cases
Nice !
Do you ever use a rear steering element? Friend had an escort service in Connecticut years ago.
Yes but for even bigger trailers! You can watch my videos hauling the train cars or wind towers to see steerable trailers!

None because they don’t let careless drivers touch these trailers!
I love stop signs in two languages. It's strange though it seems only the French do not know what STOP means in English.

Did you have to take 87 because you can't cross the bridge at 1000 Islands?(I-81)?
The bridges charge by weight so it is more cost effective to cross where there is no bridge with heavy loads.
Give us the timeline.
