[@TheBigsmith79]

For anyone wondering Michigan allows 164,000lbs gross 13,000lbs per axles. So to haul that much you have to have 11 axles on the ground, 3 on the tractor 8 on the trailer or combination of trailers.

[@petermarshall7005]

Good to see the trains reappear on your video Dan as a retired Locomotive driver i find it gives some balance and extra flavour to your segment We haul a lot of those coils on our trains and it is hot rolled coil going to different plants to be reprocessed and coated. We call them Jumbo Coils some are tarped some are not. Good to see the Dorsey sticker inside the cab. All the best Dan. From Peter Marshall in Sydney Australia..

[@kennethwoleslagle6684]

like your type's. turning in my CDL on oct 27 2020 , retiring after 53 years driving, with no tickets that pulled my CDL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jameshassel5838]

Dan. Under your trailer, look up in between the beams. You can put a piece of heave diamond screen. Bend the back up,. Make it about 8ft 3inches or so. Can put your 4x 4 wood in there make some kind of front door so they can't slide front. Way better the putting them on the dolly legs. I used to keep other stuff there to. Broom, snow shovel. Lader.

[@chriskahlson]

Everything is starting to click in place, may the trucking God’s continue to smile upon you Dan - thank you

[@mikekahl5609]

Hi Chris, you my be a distant relative.

[@oldrudedog]

Another idea for padding is the moving blankets at Harbor Freight. They are cheap and last quite a while. I keep one in my truck box under my tonneau cover.

[@HeuristicalWorker]

God love you Dan. Its TOTALLY great to see you back. Hit play and listen right away. Never know what wisdom, art, or music, or kindness you will share. Only YOU can select music 2:24 arranged to trucking video, at once, combining epic conquests of Gustav Holst The Planets, Hans Zimmer, or Dr Doctor Zhivago picking up a coil.

That Train was a huge "moving parking lot".... Al to Michigan. Weather change in September. I trained with TMC back in 97. Lots of work. I was doing an article for overdrive but broke my wrist getting out of the cab, the wrong way on ice. I went into expediting but lots of respect for flatbed guys...!

[@georgew1311]

Dan, thanks for sharing a little about life. Nice to see you, producing video's regularly again

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Thanks for watching

[@ko9446]

Don’t worry about if a tire blows out and takes out a box. I am pretty sure you have a inside guy for Dorsey Trailers, they will have one.

[@matthewjohnson3910]

Safe travels Dan

[@JB-mf1zc]

Hey Dan Glad to see Dorsey sponsoring you! Glad to see you back! God Bless!

[@mikewhite3098]

I used horse mats to put in my boxes. It works great. Stay safe Dan.

[@denisryle6410]

Stayed at that truck stop in the 80’s was a Union 76 called the Wolverine.

[@brucewilson4094]

Those Michigan drivers sure like their wheels. I see a lot of Dorsey trailers. A stack of them in Big Cabin OK and another in Cuba MO. Enjoy the videos!!

[@miltoncallan1471]

Bruce Wilson - I always stop at the Micky D's by Big Cabin remembering what it used to be like.

[@rmeshr4282]

New trailer, new sponsor, a new box, close to 35k subscribers, and a 🚂🚂🚂🚂. So, when is Teresa receiving her new horse 🐎🐎🐎😁😁😁

[@SuperTruckerdan]

lol Thanks for watching

[@docholiday1034]

Side kit was nice when i sat a few days loading LTLs out of ohio and Indiana back to northeast. Plus trip leasing a few company's nobody knew what else i had on...so exclusive use friday night specials were great 👍👍🤣

[@bigdsteeltrucker]

You delivered Wayne Industries door 11 bay 4. I’m going there tomorrow.

[@michaelweatherhead9470]

Best of luck with the new trailer it's a beauty.

[@josejoya4520]

Very nice video. Thank you for the delivery portion of the video. Great stuff. Keep up the great work and stay safe.

[@philbeele8504]

What a top top operator so impressed

[@shawncooper754]

Stay safe and awesome job Dan

[@806Driver]

Great to see the improvised use of everyday driver tools, I made a 7’ rebar version of a 5th wheel puller to pull straps off the top of 13’ 6” harvest trailers in the field. Take care and thanks for another great video👍🏼

[@dennismckown4951]

i didn't blow out tires, i even did the 2 hr stops in Arizona on very hot days. my problem, which later i corrected, was not slowing down prior to a long downhill drive. ended up smoking my brakes and having squeaky braking sounds every time i applied the brakes, as the company never fixed the problem. said; "despite the groves in the plates, the shoes were still good." :)

[@kevinhenry7273]

You know you're in MI when you see trailers with that many axels.

[@MrBigR928]

You only saw one flatbed with just a stock spread axle set up coming out of there. Those guys were rolling heavy in some nice trucks👍

[@markpeterson6836]

Yeah pretty cool seeing all the Michigan "worms."

[@jamesfarnham1976]

Really appreciate your attention to detail! Thanks for all you do! Jim.

[@SteelyPaw]

At the coil assignee, I was amazed at the multiple axle trailers that came out of the door, while you were un-tarping. Some nice classic cabs pulling them too. Always nice seeing you Dan....Take care and safe trucking. BTW, nice job strapping down that gate,etc....

[@arthurmandel6541]

Hay super Dan i don't think you can drive a truck that did not have a noise in the clutch pedal i think you can grease that, just kidding, like all your videos truck looks great, trailer looks great nice job on the new box on the trailer, keep on trucken!!!

[@patrickrichmond9896]

I love these indoor loading and unloading shots.

[@TheDaf95xf]

Evening Dan. Thanks for the train at the beginning lol 😂 Your absolutely right about the trailer situation. Keeping the flat bed gives us more verity with the videos you make 👍🏻 Keep safe cheers Stevie 🇬🇧

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

You can tell the trucks that stay in Michigan. They have all of those extra axles that don't do them any good anywhere else.

[@MikeBrown-is6bh]

In case you didn't notice Dan, you seemed like the only guy in the video without a Conestoga. :-)

[@toddmyers9207]

Hi Dan I was surprised to here you say you had a delivery to Warren Mi. That’s were I live,it looked like you were at the old tank plant property . I used to work next store at the G.M. Tech Center. I was a Truck driver there, I’m now retired.

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Thanks Dan. I like the special tools that you use to make tarping easier. Safe travels.

[@gwiz9170]

Dan, great video’s. I used to run 8 axle trailers like what you seen when you delivered. Most of them trucks are owned by the company that owns that warehouse and they are in and out a couple times a day. I live about 6 miles from there. Be safe

[@RickyTricky3223]

Can you tell me about the trailer with so many axels how much can they haul? And how far do they drive?

[@RaoulThomas007]

I’m curious how much they can haul too! And how much they typically haul!

[@TheBigsmith79]

@@RickyTricky3223 164,000lbs max 13,000lbs per axle.

[@gwiz9170]

160,000. 32,000 on drives 13,000 per axle, 18,000 if you have a spread axle in there.

[@im_not_mad]

Glad you didn’t get run over, by those covered wagons, amazing how many axles those guys run on them trailers! Be safe!

[@gslenaway]

You are in my part of the world. Welcome Dan

[@danielvrana9444]

Enjoyed your vlog Dan. I learn so much like your tool and what type of trailer and when. Thank you Dan

[@kens.3729]

Hello Dan! 👍. Love the Trains! 🚂

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Thanks for watching

[@marcconfig2631]

That's a LOT of Conestogas pulling around you!!! Like the Dorsey mudflaps on the Tractor.

[@JJRrcracingfoam]

That Dorsey trailer look real good

[@franciscosandiego3026]

That place were you deliver the coil was busy. I seen about 30 trucks. Stay safe dan. From the imperial co California.

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Thanks for watching

[@RickyTricky3223]

Wow I have never seen flatbeds with soo many axels they can haul some weight 😲

[@richorourke7872]

Yep I ran with covered wagons . Gary Ind goarge town Kentucky dedicated Toyota motors. Appts. We’re tight have A great time Dan good luck trucking.

[@martinlaplante6525]

Good job Dan. Very nice equipment keep up the good work

[@chuckyf-u2395]

I'm gonna have to watch again...kept falling asleep 😴 How does Teresa feel about you putting Dorsey next to her name 🤔 The reason you never get a blowout, is because you're smart enough not to use re cap ties

[@RaoulThomas007]

Dan’s tires always look very good!

[@robertduffin455]

As always very professional Stay safe mate 🌵🇬🇧

[@davidsimpson3284]

I always enjoy seeing the truck and trailer sink down or raise back up after the heavy load is placed or removed. Can you tell a big difference in how fast your truck can accelerate or handle on the road?

[@1nicesonoma934]

The red car hauler was the nicest

[@scotts55]

2 "back, back"s nice. Thanks Dan great video.

[@donniechumley974]

I think you should have some more sponsors.

[@jimpritchard3816]

You take good care of your truck! I like that. Those trucks picking up coils had so many axels! Can’t run them out of state I am guessing?

[@jeffreykielwasser3637]

You were only 12 miles from me. I remember when this was the 76 truck stop

[@nwscrew63]

What about taking that other tarp, roll it up a little tighter, and storing it on top of your new box? Get the weight off the truck...

[@flyboy6876]

now those are coil trailers, lots of wheels on the ground, hauled many coils out of Pittsburg California never see those trailers on the west coast California would have a heart attack

[@SuperTruckerdan]

Thanks for watching

[@RaoulThomas007]

California would probably have a cancer causing warning label for that many axles on a trailer. They must have been hauling a lot of weight!

[@Krieghandt]

@@RaoulThomas007 Michigan allows up to something like 160,000 lbs for in state transportation, as long as you meet the federal bridge laws. So, a lot of axles. You see it on the forest product trailers as well.

[@dominick253]

@@Krieghandt 20k per axle I believe.

[@Krieghandt]

@@dominick253 That's where things get complicated. One state says an axle is an axle, but others say, no, axles in X inches of each other are a tandem set. Then they have different weights for tandems. I watch heavy haulers, and boy oh boy, do they have to deal with bureaucratic details.

[@docholiday1034]

Gotta love those loads Dan👍👍👍. Hope you can axle it 😂😂

[@pauljohn6637]

Hi Dan. Is there a reason the coil was loaded to roll forwards or backwards. Why not turn it 90 degrees , surely it would be safer. The guys regularly loading out of there had their coils loaded that way. Myself I would be pulling a curtain sider, a small weight penalty but much more versatile than a flatbed and open up many options for different loads. The time saved on tarping would pay for the extra purchase price in no time at all.

[@tommarshall333]

Wow! Those trucks where you delivered the coil, were interesting. All but one of the rigs that passed you while you were outside, removing the tarp, were 4, 5, &6 axles on the trailer. Is that a thing in Michigan or ??????

[@code3ryder]

Dan, have you ever thought about getting another to travel with you?

[@Twisted86]

I'm curious how physical would you say this job is on a 1-10 scale? I LOVE hauling heavy equipment with my current company (as I'm able to) and I enjoy the idea of being out the truck doing something instead of wasting away all day in a cab.

[@joeysharp7786]

that is a old company Dorcy trailers right. Iworked on Dorcys in the seventy,s

[@sludo56]

When is the trailer company going to wrap your truck? hehe Load you up with brochures and phone #'s to call. Truck driver/ salesman... ;-)

[@1nicesonoma934]

Can you tell us all why those other trailers had so many axels

[@tekman196]

I’m curious dan ? All those other trucks in your video with those big trailers seem to have allot of axles . How in the world do they make their turns ?

[@docb.9908]

Kind of like a fulfillment center.

Thanks for watching

[@RaoulThomas007]

Amazon would call it a Coil Distribution Center!

[@albertmartin6298]

You are so welcome

[@banjobenson9348]

Those trailers with 9 wheels on each side is that for 3-4 coils or what, seems strange thanks

[@seagullsbtn]

There were some amazing like seven axle trailers at the steel plant..... Do you know anything about those? Must be carrying some serious weight.

[@chriswild2458]

Chris Browne I’m from Uk don’t see many trailers like that here

[@acd1202]

The other thing you won't see are people carrying coils in cradles on a flat. I think it was about 1974 when British Steel banned loading them that way, it goes on a well trailer or you don't take it. I don't think our American cousins use coilers at all.

[@linehandibew6205]

Dan. Why do you roll your straps?? I notice you always do it. Just curious. Love your videos

[@cedricgates9976]

whats with all the tires under those van trucks at the coil place? i notice you never come to n.y. or new england why--no freight or no truck stops?

[@SuperTruckerdan]

[@Krieghandt]

What??? you can put on new tires on before the old ones fail in a catastrophic manner? Next you'll be telling me you can change the engine oil, instead of rebuilding the engine. It is amazing how many ppl don't realise how important simple maintenance is, and how much grief it will save you.

Can you haul a shipping container on your type of flatbed, or do you need specific attachment points for that?

[@dennisbrown5124]

Is it possible to re-roll or fold the big tarp on your generator to slide it on top of your new box?
