Hello my friend, my name is Newton, today I am 80 years old, years ago I worked with big machines and super heavy trucks like yours. But when I saw your video working with care and responsibility, nostalgia hit my heart, so in view of all your dedicated work, I just have to thank you for the gift of your video and the memories of my past. 😊😊 👏👏👏

I appreciate watching all the prep and unfolding of the trailer as well as all the rigging that goes with each load. It shows others that might not know what actually happens. I mean, it's part of the job so why not show it? It definitely makes for a more interesting video than just a ride-a-long. I enjoyed it very much compared to other trucking channels that only show a very brief ultra fast time-lapse of their transport. Great camera angles help too! You've earned my sub after watching a few other videos, but definitely from this one and the longer extended version, because of the explanation and showing what you're rigging up while you're doing it. Also, hearing the truck run rather than the music all the time would be a nice addition, even with the wind lol!

They sometimes remove the buckets and put them on a flatbed depending on where the loader is going. The bucket alone weighs 10,000 lbs and requires a bigger trailer just to carry the extra weight. Depending on the state the bigger trailers sometimes require police escorts and the cost is cheaper to just send the bucket on a separate truck.

Dragging the wheels is not recommended at higher speeds. It’s fine if you’re going slowly and being gentle. In this case there is a high center crown in the road when leaving the customer but I know it’s only going to touch lightly so that’s fine. If I come to a bigger obstacle like a set of raised train tracks I will get out and physically lift the trailer higher to avoid damage.

Quartier résidentiel avec deux 🚫🚫 camions interdit; je croyais que c'était pour rendre visite a de la famille .....🤔🤔🤔😊😊😊😊 Je suis curieux; quel est le type de ralentisseur sur votre camion? Les employés des clients aux USA démontrent qu'ils sont pas mal plus participatif/aidant que les ontariens 🙄🙄. Merci pour ce partage, bonne route ✌✌✌✌✌

Oui 🙄 un client qui se installe dans un cartier résidentiel 👌👌👌 Malheureusement j’ai souvent vue que sur tout les ontariens de l’Ouest de Toronto sont d’une autre monde 😞

What was the gray machine you hauled in your second load in the video?

What’s the power difference between the new truck and the old truck. I hear the fan clutch come on a lot. And automateds are for sissys
@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Жыл бұрын
Same power X15 565. I havn’t had the chance to run beside any of our other trucks to see who out pulls who yet. This truck seems to run a little hotter. The fan does kick in more often. But I haven’t had it long enough to really learn it yet.

Glad I'm not in your shoes, especially on that pickup. If they'd stood around like that I would've pulled out just enough to detach, hookup my jeep n back up to the load. I'm sorry the Americans are so rude to you.

Don’t worry Canadians are just as bad. Water off a ducks back!

@nealfry4507....this machine pickup actually took place in CANADA (Cambridge/ON)....on the other hand, it's in the US where Doug delivered that machine, when the workers were so super helpful.
