Wow, always amazed by all of the different jeep \ trailer combo's you pull. As if the load isn't a big enough challenge, let's put barrels everywhere to make it a little more difficult. Nice job on both the trip and the video.

A lot of extra effort on the video. Really neat. Thanks.

It has 2 modes of function. For easy maneuvering it will actually counter steer automatically just using hydraulic pressure. But for more difficult maneuvering it can be overridden by remote control operated by the rear escort following.

Impressive reversing that long load! Do you have a bigger air compressor for all those extra air tanks and brakes? I would assume that you would need speedy recovery for excessive braking. I’m going to assume that this load was not that heavy but just bulky by the way you accelerated so quickly from slow starts.

These super loads are a nightmare of waiting around for permits so we often use multiple drivers to relay the trip. I did the Ontario portion. I picked up the load at the Manitoba / Ontario border and dropped in near Ottawa. The portion of the route you are probably missing is Hwy 60 through Algonquin Park. We go this way because of the low bridge in Mattawa.
