Lord, brother, I’m seriously glad you are driving that thing and not me. Good stuff!

Another good one! Thanks. With all those escorts you had quite an entourage. The loading and the backup/scale segments were a great bonus. Thanks for including them.

Very nicely done sir! People don't realize how much knowledge you need to do this type of job. Many people just think 'oh, truck driver', and don't appreciate the years of learning that goes into handling this type of freight. Keep on truckin'!

What an excellent video!! Very well done showing the skill of a heavy-haul driver. He does a terrific job of explaining what he does to load the CAT 395 excavator, secure it, and skillfully take the load safely to its destination. Being a heavy-haul driver is definitely a specialized job, and this driver definitely does his job in the most professional manner. Hats off to you! My many thanks for posting this video.

Can't believe some of the streets you have to drive with that unit. I'm used to all the over size routes we have in Alberta.

Hi Doug, from Calgary here. My son went to UMBC in Baltimore (actually Catonsville) about 12 years ago. He never encountered anything bad in his 4 years. During my many visits during that time, I only witnessed one incident , that was a fellow getting it on with his wife/ significant other ?? as we were leaving an NFL game. I never felt threatened during those 4 years. Also, enjoyed many visits to the inner harbour.

Hi Doug. Weather's looking better🤣. Very impressed at the scales. Nice to see the drone footage and how you line up the lorry. All scientific stuff, which I totally enjoy, and looking at the read out. Not many truckers explain any of this. I follow a half dozen or so truckers, and only one person explains things, which is Sherralin (Lorry Diaries) on her site. She does many trips out of England and around Europe, usually France, Spain and Portugal, and she does some explanations as well. When you stopped for the inspection, I had to laugh to myself watching the officer on his back pushing himself along. Looked like an upside down turtle🤣

The USS Constellation is the last sail-only warship designed and built by the United States Navy. It has a museum gallery and is good for kids. Yes, the USS Constellation is located in Baltimore, Maryland's Inner Harbor at Pier 1. It's the only remaining ship from the Civil War era and is now a National Historic Landmark. The ship was built in 1854 and decommissioned in 1955 after 100 years of service. It's now preserved as a museum ship with four decks to explore. The ship offers regular guided tours, including a cannon firing every day, and visitors can participate in demonstrations The USS Constellation was eventually decommissioned in 1955 after 100 years of service.

Built in Boston and launched in 1797, USS CONSTITUTION is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world today.

@stuartatkins5425....technically we have lots of freeways (& toll-roads) too, but the infrastructure (read: bridges, overpasses) are in pitiful state and Doug's combo could well be the last nail in the coffin while crossing some of these structures (that was always my fear when operating delivery self-propelled mobile cranes). That said, the traffic -ensity is also far greater on the East Coast then in the West, that's why P\permit-routings are usually mandated off the beaten track.

Nice to see BALTIMORE EXPRESS alongside you there at Dundalk.

The challenge of getting around turns with the length and of getting up and down hills with the weight would be fun. The frustration of the bureaucracy and red tape would drive me nuts!

My compliments again, Doug, for another outstanding video with top editing. Your explanations at the truck stop while waiting for the NYSP escort, were very interesting. Question: upon entering that T/S, when you needed to raise the trailer, doesn't that activity pull the trailer back (the reverse of what happens when drivers drop the air on a van-trailer after docking, it pushes the trailer-box forward). The real question is: do you leave the tractor-brake off when raising the trailer, so the tractor moves backwards during the process? (the energy for raising the trailer has got to go somewhere). Also, when you suggested - just prior to entering the Rest Area/Weigh Station near Kanona/NY - to have all your paperwork ready for such inspections, you named among other things the Permits. Maybe you should also remind drivers to ensure that the Permits are signed and all auxiliary forms (usually to be downloaded from the State's website) are in fact present with each permit. (I can't stop re-iterating the "signing part" to all my drivers).

@luckybananaheavyhaul3407

3 ай бұрын

Yes you are correct about signing for the states and provinces which require signatures. NY used to require but not any more. I have the habit of only using the tractor parking brake and leaving the trailer released. That being said when working on uneven ground or on a slope all the brakes should be set. The truck alone may not be enough to hold 200,000 lbs from rolling on a slope
