That getting out of driveway with the generator was stressful to watch, you two did amazing job getting it done safely. Also i like the make shift way to get on top of generator to remove the snow. Just dont let your safety department watch the video. Lol. Safe travels.
a few tight turns getting into that first site and yes that is a big Wajax Genset. That size would have a big MTU diesel for power. Now talk about threading a needle, getting the second out took amazing skill. Sure showed to me you are a true professional driver !! That company Vibra-Sil manufactures the enclosure the Genset is in.
🥶🥶 Hi Doug, I am old school road runner, now fully retired. I used to run the routes from Quebec to London and down into NYS and lived up there for about 6 years pulling loads out of NY City. My home. Summer, or winter, I loved working the roads year round, back in the late 1970's. Kind of miss it, but things are not the same as it was back in the day. Love what you and your crews do. Keep up the Safe and great work and videos. 70 yr young retired road runner. 👍✌
Hello Doug , you’ll likely recall my name as a subscriber and retired oversized driver previously commenting on your content. Recently I find myself recovering from a major injury that required surgery. I’ll be in recovery and physiotherapy for 6-9 months but your videos definitely help to keep me connected with the sights and sounds of trucking. Almost therapeutic , so again thanks very much for all the effort you put into your videos and content.
Brings back a memory seeing the divider on the 401. Driving a box truck back to Toronto from Peterborough at 1 am and I literally stopped beside the divider and got out of the truck. Had to tell the the O.P.P. why, I had been on the go since 4 am and was starting to fall asleep, getting out and waking up enough to get home safely was more important than following the law and not stopping there.
It would be nice to know your locations as you drive along. We live on Route 37 between Fort Covington and Akwesasne,NY. We see your truck go by our place from time to time. Your videos are very interesting. Keep trucking!
Thanks Doug…I always wondered if it helped with traction somehow even thought they are dummy axles. My folks have property in New Hampshire and I see a lot of 3 axle trailers up that way in Maine and so forth and well they get a lot of snow so ….thanks for your hard work and awesome videos.
Nothing like threading a needle. I had to bring a Komatsu 375 from the back of the Savanah yard with the main trailer neck folded out but without the jeep once. The air gauge on the drives was past bottomed out with the 4th axle down. Stay warm, unseasonably warm down here in Lafayette, IN. Have a good day.
Seems like you left in winter and arrived in fall :) lots of snow before leaving, and none at delivery! Wed it dropped to -21 according to my thermometer, but was -5 by morning...
Hello, I very much appreciate your channel and the effort it takes to do your job & get these videos out. This past Wednesday Dec 13 2023 I saw 3 Bellemare units between Carleton Place and Ottawa, westbound on Hwy 7. Does Bellemare sometimes use other pilot / escort companies as well as their own?
Yes, when we have too many projects going at the same time we subcontract escorts. Carleton Place is on the “heigh load” detour route around Ottawa to avoid the underpasses on 417. From Carleton Place we take hwy 29 to Arnprior.
I often wonder why companies that make such big items always seem to have such small entry/exits. Whether it's driveways or roller doors. Surely if your company has the skill to make such things the bosses would have the foresight to create easier entry/exits.
Curious ….ive asked this question to others but never got a reply. Why do most regular trailers in Canada and many parts of upper New England have 3 axles….whereas most everything down in the lower 48 have 2…??? Super professional job trucker by the way
Unfortunately every state and province has different weight regulations. The southern states try to protect their infrastructure a little more so they generally don’t allow trucks to carry as much weight. Some northern states such as Michigan go extremely the opposite and allow just about as many axles as you can fit under the trailer!
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 I hadn't. Just wanted to be the first. Now that I've watched it, maaaaaan, I have been in a corner like that! To make that turn..... Takes me wayyyyy back!
I hope you guys billed extra for that last load, wasting so much time just getting out of the customers yard when the customer could improve the clearance is just incredibly stupid, the side of the building I understand but for fucks sake remove the fence posts and other stuff they have lying around there if you can't move your company to somewhere more spacious 😂
Less air no. I have a switch to lift it completely but because this setup is on the rear or the truck opposed to most heavy haul trucks with the drop axle in the center it reduces steering when lifted. I can get all kinds of straight line traction but less steering.
i have no idea of heavy hauling "goods" but im noticed that the length of the haul plays a big roll in this buisness? (more a question then a statement) why are you using the american style of trucks with the "long" snout instead of an european style truck (cab overs) ? im asuming european trucks are shorter by the way
I don’t have a good answer for that. Because we like to be different! 30 years ago there were a lot more cabovers on the road in North America. But now they are very rare.
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 thanks - watched a view videos of yours and i couldnt stop to thinking about if a cabover would make a difference, im thinking it does but im a youtube viewer and youtube viewer are always right ;) :D :D and by the way thanks for sharing the videos
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 USA (and Canada through their association) changed the trucking laws [sometime in the late 70s - early 80s] from a maximum total length to trailer length which phased out the cabovers due to fuel economy, noise, comfort, etc. In NA, our roads are generally wider than the EU too - but not always.
I'm 76, don't drive anymore. Loving your videos; so much fun traveling with you. Love the music too. Thank you, Doug.
Thanks for the feedback! Happy to have you along with us ✌️

I'm still chuckling at your elevator up to the top of the generator and down.
Kind of old school 🤣
Now thats a tight squeeze.....
Nice small load for first trip lots of truck drivers should not drive in winter and last p/up nicely done have a great day

I'm so glad I live in S. Fla. The only way I see snow is watching videos now.
I will join you one day 😅
Seems like that company should address that driveway especially considering the size of the gen sets they deal with. Good Job.
Seems like the same story everywhere we go. They all want to manufacture bigger pieces without investing in their infrastructure
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 they could at least move some of the obstacles out of the way
Big hug and respect from heavy haul driver in the US!

If all goes as planned I will be passing by your place Dec 26 with police escorts
All I can say is well done, and I hope your firm changes more for getting product out of cluttered driveway
If they made it too easy anyone could do it 😉

24:39 according to robin quivers 4 inchs is fine
Lol
Don't forget 👍
👍👍👍
If theres one thing i hate its driving in the snow, nope nope and Nope.
Once again the more expensive the load is, the sketchier the driveway for the factory.
Doug does that new tractor have crawler gears in forward and reverse?
No, no deep reduction or auxiliary. Just straight 7

Do you use less air pressure on drop axle when in snow for traction.
Less air no. I have a switch to lift it completely but because this setup is on the rear or the truck opposed to most heavy haul trucks with the drop axle in the center it reduces steering when lifted. I can get all kinds of straight line traction but less steering.
