Uploading the remainder of that trip, soon. I ended up getting off in the gulf. I saw seven different rivers that trip, after starting in Winona, Minnesota.
Loved this video and just sent the link to my Great uncle who worked on the Ohio river on a push boat back in the 60's. Ever been up the Ohio around the Parkersburg WV area? Would love to see some footage of a boat working that section of the river as I have spent many summers up in that area.
It has a wicket style dam. It allows transit over lowered sections when water stage is high enough. We can actually run around some dams on Ohio when river is high enough.
I always run the channel span. A lot of guys run the high water span with emty's if the wind is blowing just because I guess the bank cuts the wind a little but i never do
Thanks for the ride Captain Kyle.
I have been fascinated !
Wow that's a lot of rock.
I always run the channel span on the Irvin Cobb

The time lapse was cool thanks . Good video
Man you get around Skipper. Arkansas, Ohio, Mississippi and Tennessee rivers in two videos, Great stuff!!

Those trucks haul about 80- 100 tons a load some of them about 150-200 tons depends on which yuke it is
Each barge hauls about 1500 ton
Yes they do I use to haul coal and dump it on the barges at several places on the Ohio River between Portsmouth O and up river to Belpre O
Nice to have your vids back up.
We are keeping up with you captain Kyle, keep the videos coming. Thank you.
They're Mine Haul Trucks Cap'n Kyle.
If you haven't puked in the hallways in the old Big E then your not a real pilot.
I like the time lapse. What’s the torpedo level on the window for, listing gauge?
It takes 60 trailer trucks load a barge
Great footage. Curious what location this rock quarry operation is at and where do you drop off the load you picked up?
I liked that timelapse at the end a lot.
How much fuel do you go through in one day, with 1,500 tons?
Why would you need a lock system when you just go around it???
When the water is high we can.
Someday when I'm done messing around with these concrete trucks imma be a tugboat captain. Might just be my retirement right here.
If you can go around the lock then why is their a lock?
It has a wicket style dam. It allows transit over lowered sections when water stage is high enough. We can actually run around some dams on Ohio when river is high enough.
Have you spent any time on the Missouri River? End of the year I'll be moving from the Ohio river to Missouri River.
Blessings at Christmas to you and yours 👍
Great stuff Skipper....always good to get new videos from ya.... have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year captain. 👍

I think the Tennessee River is beautiful. It is in my father's family blood.
Where was this?
Paducah
He said it clearly in the video.
I see the crew has been chipping, priming and painting to make her look beautiful. Big thumbs up for doing the nasty work but she looks good.
That FF was cool.
Find them triple screw days, lets see them pics and vids.
That's soybeans
Yo Captain
