This is as close for Orwell being at the coast line or beach.Yea, Steve. You was right about the crane not able to lift it. I guess knowing the limits of the boom crane, where to place it, how far to stretch the boom have to be before its to much for the lift. But I think they should have gotten a little closer to the trailer doing that lift.
2:24 now thats a sight that i could never get tired of see a big ol set of stacks with a few puffs of smoke popping out of them from time to time pretty sweet cab over my friend. Ps. Keep the wheels a spinning and them beavers grinning lol.
1 st gear is there for a reason,, keep taking off on 2nd gear you will be adjusting the clutch more frequent and tear on your drive train. and you can break your transmission sincro ..i know i drove and i was a mechanic for over 39 years,,,,just a suggestion… i enjoy the cabover..brings lots of memories.
🤦🏻♂️ I ain't no trucker but even I know you're spewing bull. 1. Steve knows when to use the bull gear, then wasn't it. 2. He only uses the clutch from a dead stop, he floats the gears everywhere else. 3. Truck transmissions are non-synchro. Your only saving grace is if you're not from America because I am aware European trucks are synchronized transmissions and need to do other things differently compared to American trucks but that's your _only_ out at this point.
@@johnnycates4333Second gear is not too high a gear. You may think he's going 4th but remember he's got cables rather than linkages connecting the shifter to the transmission, making it look more sloppy than it is.
Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary and the music. One more done unloaded off to the next drop stay safe Steve.
Good ol URI, I spent many a summer down in Narragansett. We had a little beach house by Point Judith, few miles south of where you were if you went down ocean road. Had I known you were gonna visit I would have told you to stop by Iggys clam shack. Too bad the delivery wasn't in Jamestown or Newport, I think you would have liked the views going over the bridge. South County and the Islands are Beautiful and the best part of RI, and the main reason its the Ocean State. As far as not being able to do math, that's a perfect example of how the whole state is run, the beauty couldn't get me to stay. Still recommend visiting though. I'm curious which of RI's never ending road projects we'll see on your ride up to mass.
That’s the URI School of Oceanography, also known as the bay campus. I used to fish that area a lot but they have been repairing the dock getting it ready for their new research boat. I hope to be able to fish it once again after the construction is complete. You were parked where the volleyball court is.
I once waited all day with a 4 man crew for a crane to show up. It finally did around 6:30 pm then the crane guys had never operated the crane and took them 2 hours to figure it out and set it up with the :"JIB" on it to get up to the roof 20 floors up and halfway into the bldg. penthouse . very boring day with great ending in the rain for 6 pics !
Hey Steve! Always Interesting To See How Different Unloading Can Be Determined By Location, Customer, Etc! Be Safe Weather It Be In The Shop, Or On The Road!
Man I really thought this was gonna end badly! For some reason your video kept freezing, thinking it’s a YT issue. Took me five attempts to finish video. Appreciate it Steve. Safe travels.
How can someone be 2000lbs off on the weight of this equipment? That's crazy. Steve as always, love your videos. Orwell sounds great and those new wheels look awesome ❤❤❤
Okay, so the delivery was at the URI Bay Campus. It is not the main URI campus. You have the Marine Ecosystem Research Laboratory there, as well as the RI Atomic Energy Commission Science Center, which is odd since there is not nuclear power generator in RI. I never visited that part of the state. I grew up in north west Rhode Island, in the town of Burrillville.
Could have been at least a foot if not 2 closer to the trailer. Should have had a Spreader Bar and shorter slings. Should never lift that high if not needed, he could have left it 2 feet off the trailer then lifted with the boom over the Outriggers then set it down to the rear.
Damn Orwell came rolling by minutes from my house. Beautiful day on Narragansett Bay. Too bad you were on a tight schedule and didnt have time to hit up a local restaurant on the water and enjoy it. Forget that McDonald's ish lol.
Quite the opposite, born & raised there, started driving there in the nineties, especially metro Boston, eventually all of New England, today currently running around the West South Central, I miss knowing places like the back of my hand🤔✌️
I enjoyed the ride along and the way that you conducted your business, I just thought of something, you ought to get you a load of potatoes and bring them down to Tim, LoL, just kidding around, have a good one.
Huh, Midwest Towing ( Truck service company in Missouri ) has a Miller Industries rotator that is capable of lifting and placing a 50 ton load.Sad that a wreckers could provide a vehicle that could do the job properly in one go when a crane service company can't. The rotator is 70,000 pound when rolling down the road to a job. They actually get a fair number of calls to unload trucks with it.
Lifting next to you is one thing. Because of the hill, they have to reach out 80-100 ft to place it. This crane couldn't do that. Most rotators can't boom out far enough and still lift that much weight.
If the crane job was paid by the amound of pounds that the generator weighed, Steve could have demanded to be paid for the difference between the actual weight (per the crane) and that which was listed on the paperwork!!!
Hell no we wouldn't let them unload us using a crane exactly like that one. One of our cranes is like the first one u was sitting next to waiting to follow the truck. Cause we nearly had the crane exactly what there using. Jesse can spin it around and raise or lower whatever he's loading or unloading. I will be his eyes if he can't see what he is doing. Or he will use the wireless remote control to do it. Which he does all the time while I am getting people back from it. That's what we do if they don't know what they are doing we will get the KW and Trailer outta there before they drop what they are getting off our trailer. They almost dropped a shipping container and I was like that's on them since it's off our trailer. I always take videos and so does all the driver's and Hotshot Driver's.
@@dennisr7452 Really? I know we in Michigan had over a couple dozen camps, but we are deep into the interior of the country. I wouldn't think DC would allow any camps on the coasts.
What would happen if you were pulled over and your load was over what the paperwork said then Is that the responsibility of the firm or Ford it fa on you as the driver?
I am always amazed how they expect to get a semi in these construction sites. Who acually dropped the ball on the generator weight? The manufacturer? The local selling dealer? The site contractors?
If you could see when we drive into the base meant of Stadiums and sky scrapers under construction around corners with 14’6” wide steel. You would really be surprised. I’ll post a picture of the new Clippers Stadium under construction on Google Maps.
At 1min 35 sec you stop and let the green truck come up the hill - fine. However, you then proceed to cross a double yellow line and drive through a STOP sign! Not fine!!
Pays better especially if you're willing to run the northeast USA. I asked a close friend what their getting paid to go into NYC from the Midwest. Try 4k on a 1000 mile load. Avoid the turnpike and you're making bank and they have driver's willing to go there aka owner operator getting 85 percent.
Steve selected equipment that was shorter than a long-nose truck with a 53-foot trailer just so it would be easier to get around in New England with a load.

Johnny went to the Train Station.
Stick beats slush boxes. Many sticks have insanely low first gear. So frequently, you ignore it.
Thanks for your service veteran. BlueRah usaf 1960-1966 Heavy Ground Radio. Love Orwell. Excited to see what happens with Ford CL900.
I always enjoy your videos, but most of all I enjoy watching somebody that knows how to drive a truck.
great work there steve. stay safe out there on the roads.. orwell has best coal rolling footage!!!
Awesome video Steve👍👍👍

Road work is everywhere and never done ✅
Road barrels grow like weeds.
Only two seasons for the rust belt Winter and Construction!
My theory about Georgia at least is that they have no place to store the road construction barrels, so they have to move them to the next job.
Like the Front lights at the bottom.
Air ride seat or not take all but 2 leaf springs out of the front and bag it

3 kinds of people in the world. The 1's who can do math and the 1's who can not
it took me a second. good one
3 other kinds of people :
One who make things happen !
One who watch things happen !
One who wonders what happened !
Then there's the ones who either can't or won't read the shipping documents and figure that "a crane" will do.
😂
Those RI backroads weren't made for Semis. They were basically paved farm roads from the old days.
Could have been at least a foot if not 2 closer to the trailer. Should have had a Spreader Bar and shorter slings. Should never lift that high if not needed, he could have left it 2 feet off the trailer then lifted with the boom over the Outriggers then set it down to the rear.
nice load

I was wondering if that was Narragansett Bay. I was home ported in Newport.
There is a truckstop in w greenwich at exit 5b off 95
Great Content Steve! After you replaced the “fuel regulator” did “Orwille” gain in MPG?
Wish I knew you were coming to MA would've got you a coffee
That crane looked under capacity for 13 K pounds ( 6,000 kgs ), at that reach, but did they job.
Nice site.
Feszchak Polskie nazwisko jak nic. Pozdro z Polski 😁

Merhaba güzel bir video olmuş
That was fun
Always an adventure at job sites.
From the way that looked I'd have been concerned about getting turned around & back out of there.
How are you Steve
Ron Pratt and his Rotator are way better at rigging a lift. So are Plaza and Pepe's Towing companies out in California.
Thought about Ron too. I haven't watched the others but only because there's not enough free time.
@@randyogburn2498
They are worth the watch. I feel you with the lack of enough free time.
Is there a couple potholes in Rhode Island? Yep.
Man, I thought he was taking a tour of the whole city there for a minute
Must have used that common core math BS... 🤣🤣
Good morning brother
The bay campus was a German pow camp during WW II.

Where is the blocking under the out riggers ? That crane is to small
Crane guy should be closer to your trailer anyway for at least a better chance.
The trouble wasn't getting off the trailer. The 80 ft reach to the pad was impossible.
@@fsctrucking i haven’t watched the whole video yet so i probably woulda noticed lol! Yeah 80’ is a stretch for that
Was that Orwell I saw rolling south on I-95 in Portsmouth, NH on the 30th?
Yes
Since SAC left taxachusettes duz anyone know whats up ?
Everyone knows Universities don’t do math!
They're just a high priced Day Care Centers now . Can you say indoctrination .
What would happen if you were pulled over and your load was over what the paperwork said then
Is that the responsibility of the firm or Ford it fa on you as the driver?
If a bear craps in the woods and doesn't catch the rabbit... It's the truckers fault.
Do you charge for your tyme waiting? Whitmeyer compensate you for wait?
Does he know your following lol.

You call that a crane
What do they need that generator for? There's a nuclear reactor literally a stone's throw away from the delivery.😁😁⚛⚛
Backup power plants for sensitive operations that cannot be without energy.
Those boys were kinda stupid trying this with a single wrap on the blocks
And at 24min 40 sec - a dogman wearing a sun hat and not a hard hat!!!
At 1min 35 sec you stop and let the green truck come up the hill - fine. However, you then proceed to cross a double yellow line and drive through a STOP sign! Not fine!!
No foot traffic or vehicle traffic, it's called a rolling stop. Calm down.
He already stopped to let the other truck by no traffic your life must be really boring to sit and look for problems 😂😂
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
So I noticed that it seems you do a lot of East Coast runs, is there any particular reason other than you just enjoy torture? Just curious sir
Pays better
@@fsctrucking It pays more going in because nobody wants to go
Pays better especially if you're willing to run the northeast USA. I asked a close friend what their getting paid to go into NYC from the Midwest. Try 4k on a 1000 mile load. Avoid the turnpike and you're making bank and they have driver's willing to go there aka owner operator getting 85 percent.
