I second that. Sometimes when you get someone who has been doing this kind of things they can be a prima donna. He never let his ego show, just his knowledge and experience .

Slow and steady wins the race again.. It never ceases to amaze me just how much brute force drivetrains have to pull/push. The last cam shot showing from the rear how long that train was...WOW!!! Definitely one for the books Trent...beautifully done...and the trucks driver was super helpful too. Stay safe out there guys:-)

Another one to show your grand-kids with pride. Nicely done Trent.

That was amazing, had me on the edge of my seat when you stopped going up that hill and had to start again, i know what 80,000 pounds feels like but 280,000? Wow

The driver seemed like he was a super cool dude! Neat to watch. Thanks for the video!

I wonder if Josh from Pepe's could have pulled this off as smoothly as you did with a smaller truck no less. Good job Trent. One thing for sure is that road is so desolate it's not some place you want to break on. What was also nice was the driver interaction with you. 240K pounds is not like towing a Toyota. LOL.

Congratulations Trent you definitely hold the record for the heaviest tow of any KZreadr!!!

Yes, I also enjoyed this video. Thanks for showing it.

Trent ! Look how far you have come in the last few years I've been following you. Hopefully you are very proud of the accomplishments you have made for yourself. I'm surely proud and I'm sure your family is as well. Keep up the good work young man. Your making a great example of what a true hard honest working American is all about.

Cool tow and great video Trent. One of the first of your tow videos I watched was a heavy uphill haul.

You and ron pratt are awesome examples of professionalism and expertise in your fields. Keep it up. Great work

Great video brother also the driver was very helpful with the explanation of things and how to get it down the road safely. Both of you guys in the cab was a class act.

When other tow companies say no lol

That was a challenging tow. Good job Trent.

This was an interesting tow. After you got it to where it needed to be you were learning something about the trailer and that's a good oppratiator & you were listening to the driver for tips on how best to tow it. That's ALWAYS GOOD.

Interesting video Trent. I really enjoyed the walk around and the driver's explanations!

Love all your videos man! Keep the content rolling!

Strong work Trent and Mark!

HOLY SHIT JR!!! One HELL of a tow- Very impressive- There is nothing you can't do kiddo- You guys stay safe!

Driving a long truck that weighs that much definitely takes a lot of experience vs towing a standard semi. Good job utilizing his expertise to ensure a successful tow.

Trent you screwed up and forgot to put a go pro on the out side that would have been one hell of a view. Thanks for bringing us along

Great video Trent - would it be better to have the trailer brakes set and the truck released when you extended the underreach before pulling into the lot? i.e. push your "light" truck forward vs the "heavy" towed unit rearward?

HFS Trent. Awesome vid!

Wow that was epic.

Awesome machines.

lol this reminds me of my "david vs. goliath' video.. It was a tiny little lifter tow truck, pulling a huge container truck. On flat roads thankfully! Your load was incredibly long though. Especially considering the length of your own truck. It's a good thing you have your escorts.

Well done ! 🤠🤘🏼☀️☀️

Nice Titan by Mack - this model offered in the US was based very loosely on an Australian model of the same name. The Titan that is built in Australia is a heavy haulage/road train spec prime mover (tractor unit)

Awesome video Trent .. I'm impressed that Darl's truck easily handled that much weight . I would however though have your mechanic check over the tow truck . Lugging that truck up that hill and almost stalling out is very hard on the drivetrain

Hello Trent, old guy tip for ya, when i have something that heavy, i set the brakes on the trailer, double check that their set : ) , and release the brakes on my tow truck. : ) then adjust the under reach. much easier to move 70,000 than 200,000+ : ) and as always, nice work young man

Good job man.

Awesome!!!

Job well done but there was definitely a pucker factor to that one and I think you know what I mean!

You have the right attitude and truck common sense to listen, learn, and own up to you mistakes and learn from them. (the lesson on the hill). Yeah, it's surprising how fast the momentum goes away when you're off the throttle. Good job Sir. Be safe!

cool tow

That is quite a load, by any measure! I was wondering how the tractor front axle copes with all that load pulling on it, instead of the drive bogie pushing under the tractor chassis. It did, of course, but I guess the truck designers must take it into account so as not to pull the axle off the chassis in a recovery. Great video!

@CMWally

I've hears of tow drivers when pulling a super load like this will run chains from the under reach bar back to the casualty frame to help take some of the pull force off of the casualty steer axle. But like Ron Pratt says 6+4 or 2+8, it all gets done in the end.

A1 tow. When I was in jr high , the weight limit in ny was 73280. Local sand and gravel trucks hauled about 18 inches over the sideboards on 40 ft steel dump trailers. A neighbor owned a tire company, the sand and gravel companies were his best customers, sold them lots of tires, brakes,drums and springs. A loaded sand trailer grossed out at 325000 with wet sand. I asked him how they got away with running 325000, when the max was 73280. He pulled out a magazine published by the county PBA magazine ( POLICE MENS BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION ) . All the local sand and gravel companies and anyone else who ran way overweight took out huge half or full page ads, to the tune if $5k per month minimum. As long as they took out the ads they didnt get scaled. One of his customers skipped the ad one month and almost went broke with overweight tickets. Never made that mistake again. The majority of the sand and gravel companies,trash and heavy haulers were mafia run . . JUST SAYIN

240K? Come on! Childs play! At your age I was hauling 240,002 lbs! Jk HOLY CRAP! What a haul!!!
