American Truck Simulator: BAOBAB Third try (Part 1) Heavy T800

(Heavy haul wheels link on the bottom)
I am determined to do a full trip without major incidents. This is my third try so far, pulling the massive Baobab tree.
This time I won't restart or cancel my trip as I've done in the past two tries. I've studied the route and learned a lot from the A.I's mistakes. I'm recording starting from the hook-up until the parking (which I will attempt).
So far, so good. There was a minor fender bender, but it was all the A.I's fault. But still no big crashes or getting stuck.
I've gone even further with the heavy hauler look on my T800. Added fat heavy duty wheels and tires on the front, plus the basic steel wheels on the drive axles to give it a more utility look.
Kenworth T800 with CAT 3406 550hp, EF 18-speed, fully manual range/split. Logitech G27 with h-shifter and clutch.

I have no idea how this video made it to 200k views. I wish I could still play this amazing game, but unfortunately it is incredibly difficult to keep mods up to date. It literally requires monthly, if not weekly maintenance, and unfortunately life got to me. But thank you all for the kind comments and for enjoying some guy with no real trucking experience pulling a gigantic log though the streets of San Francisco, surely committing dozens of traffic violations and completely butchering trucking procedures for about 25 minutes.

[@de82788]

The way this truck sounds and how your shifter set up makes it more immersive , always restores my love for this game even when its frustrating. Thank you for all you do!

[@wanderingfido]

Thanks for keeping the route advisor open. It's easier for me to see the gearing choices. I get my SKRS eaton-fuller shifter later this month. I can hardly wait. 😁🤩

[@deebothetrashman]

real good video man love the truck sounds and the Jake break is awsome, and that's some real good driving right there son keep it up.

one of the best American Truck Simulator videos out there and sweet driving

[@TheHuskyGT]

+Dominique Williams Thank you so much! I try my best. And thank you for the sub!

[@ajthexplorer7394]

good game,awesome video and sound..keep going 👍👍😍😍✌✌

[@dylansmiley3999]

that turbo sounds like its ganna explode lmao..

[@wanderingfido]

So, according to my calculations as detailed further onward, it would cost about *$8,293.80 [CDN]* in *wood varnish* to paint this big @$$ log. Can ya tell I'm really bored, yet? More specifically, It would take 138 and 1/4 boxes of *946mL High Gloss Pour On Alkyd Finish* which reportedly cover 8 square ft per box at $60 cdn per box. I estimate the log is 40' long with an average diameter of 8'. I used the area of a cylinder, which equals 1105.84061 sq ft of surface area.

[@markyboughter1087]

Whoa that’s a huge trunk Or a huge log 🪵

[@user-tr1nc5hs3f]

Very good video. Hello from Russia!

[@Eddiedgk]

For the people who don't know.. That is a Sequoia tree, they only grow in the Sierra mountains California (South East of Fresno) Beautiful place and perfect State to be hauling that tree seen in the video :)

[@eojramgaming7526]

Great job👍👍👍

[@petersampson4635]

3 tickets for stop signs, no tug test (drop that bastard on the deck and see how ya go).....................no I'm not a cop, but sure as hell I would've been busted by one if that was me. Not to mention using the jakes in a residential neighborhood, definitely no need when bobtail." It's just a bloody game matey!" Yeah mate yeah mate yeah mate yeah! Pete 379.

[@HaitiantruckerRony]

I like the sound of this truck

[@deborahchesser7375]

That tree came pre waxed

[@zachcooley4294]

Just going to say this you should wait until you're almost three quarters of the way through the intersection and then cut hard and when you downshift get it to neutral and pop that accelerator real quick before you go in to the next lowest gear

[@BigTex9752]

Nice video, thats some skilled driving there

[@TheHuskyGT]

Thank you!

[@netskus8976]

nice drive guys nice truck man

[@miathehorselover3044]

Love that got that semi

[@jessejohnson5860]

nice drive

[@tyshaverr]

To bad you can't get some of those police escorts!

[@BigLarry1950]

My first question .... Why would an electronics store (like Best Buy) have a huge tree in their loading area? LMAO.

[@TheHuskyGT]

+Larry Fick HAHA! Yeah. Good point. I think the person who made this mod forgot to assign the cargo to a different company, like in the industrial or rural areas.

[@BigLarry1950]

Yeah, right LOL. I've played around with making trailer mods for ETS2. I hope soon I can make a few for ATS. I think I have managed to upload a Staples trailer mod, but it doesn't have specific cargoes.

[@TheHuskyGT]

+Larry Fick Oh, nice! I think trailers add a lot of replay value to the game. As is, the game has very few trailers. I'm always looking for more, but some modders are too careless with the cargo sizes and in some cases they are not able to fit in tunnels or underpasses.

[@BigLarry1950]

I'm hoping they come out with a ATS Studio like ETS Studio so I can manage the cargoes for a trailer mod I create.

[@snakecold6755]

Larry Fick shut up

[@ronaldkirk9685]

Great video I enjoyed it😁😁😁👍

[@bradstrayer485]

Very unrealistic to say the least. A load that large doesn't go anywhere in California without an escort. Certainly would not be allowed in a residential area. But definitely enjoyed watching you navigate so of those turns. Pretty awesome video brother.

[@vladimirlenin5338]

BrAD Strayer It’s a mod dude. There is already a dlc that gets you big loads with police escort.

[@awdgarage3083]

that it serves the engine brake ?

[@artemisz9452]

nice trailer

[@StupidFuckingStar]

wow! nice sound truck! good video dude :)

[@davidmooremoore1918]

Cool kw truck

[@noahstiles4233]

i hauled this tree before up hills and i stalled my truck flipped my truck and still delivered it was kinda easy

[@baddriversofeurotrucksimul5759]

That big red thing is a stop sign.

[@wgp1]

Yes, that's legit. Picking up a giant ass tree at charged. LOL

[@jaytrucking5225]

nice vid, are you using a wheel? with clutch?

[@TheHuskyGT]

+Jay Neal Yes! Logitech G27.

[@2thePtBassTuT]

Cool!

[@truckeurqc3024]

Its what the link for the engine

[@EternalBlade]

If you want to make tighter turns pick up your drop axel while your turning. when your done drop it again

[@TheHuskyGT]

+Reverend Mike (ShadowFIlms) Great advice! I've actually tired this, but unfortunately the game doesn't really simulate the steering variations with the drop axle up or down. Despite the single drop axle does have assisted steering (if you watch closely). Even with spread axle trailers, you can't feel the drag of the inner axle while turning.

[@EternalBlade]

cool. It looks great as a trucker it does look really good.

[@squartthewinnerkennedy9674]

[@nathanieltouch7776]

HOW MANY POUNDS WAS THAT ON YOUR TRAILER, I MIGHT GET THE MOD

[@crazyyyyy2945]

the tree weighs about 55 metric tonnes

[@goralAdrian]

What engine You put into Your truck?

[@TheHuskyGT]

+goralAdrian The CAT 3406 with 550hp

[@Knuckles5140]

Holy cow.

[@hossi5826]

nice Viseo

[@Drummer-tx1uk]

Quick tip you shouldn't have the drop axle down when turning it's just causes a lot of unneeded oversteer

[@TheHuskyGT]

It actually creates a lot of understeer, but the lift axle steers a bit and makes it a bit easier.

[@Drummer-tx1uk]

+TheHuskyGT that is if you actually have one that steers

[@nsrailfann4life91]

Might create understeer, but aids the chassis in resisting undue stress. When you have that much gross weight, you need that extra axle, turning or not. The average tractor is set up for a max gross of approx 95,000 LBs on three axles. Granted, this also depends on how many axles the trailer has as well. It's a good gesture for simulation. And yes, in the game, there are trucks with tag axles that do steer. Prime example, the Mack Pinnacle. It has an available taglift that will steer when down.

[@candygames7961]

Nice vid bro!!! Which city is that????

[@jaytrucking5225]

i subscribed and what are you using to record with?

[@TheHuskyGT]

+Jay Neal I use Nvidia Shadowplay. It's decent. I'm getting a new and much more powerful gaming rig on Monday, so I'll search for a better recording program.

[@jaytrucking5225]

oh ok thanks man and keep up the good videos

[@TheHuskyGT]

+Jay Neal Thank you, I will! And thank you so much for the sub :)

[@jaytrucking5225]

Hay on your next video can you put the link for the yellow kenworth please

[@TheHuskyGT]

+Junior Silva Sure! I'm posting a new video with the Kenworth this weekend.

[@davidbaltazar8050]

how did you lower your axles in the beginning ?

[@TheHuskyGT]

+David Baltazar Depending on where you have it assigned, there is a button that activates the lift axle. Check the control settings and you will find it. Mine is in the left D-pad of the G27 shifter buttons. I honestly don't remember where it is with the default button layout.

[@davidbaltazar8050]

+TheHuskyGT alright thanks, ill try this out

[@bigantdawg2k3]

Cool video. Does anyone know how to get the beacons to flash this bright? I have beacons installed on mine, but they are not this bright. Thanks!

[@TheHuskyGT]

Hi. Just increase the lighting quality on graphic settings.

[@bigantdawg2k3]

Thanks a lot. I appreciate it. i had never looked in there and never thought of it. I enjoy our videos a lot.

[@meedju]

It's illegal to jake break in the city.

[@TheHuskyGT]

Charlie Nevill I know.

[@ethanhanson9410]

how much did your pc cost

[@TheHuskyGT]

Prices tend to change very fast. I spent around $1200 on this build. Today it might be a lot cheaper.

[@rachellelynn9406]

why did you drive in the middle of the road?

[@TheHuskyGT]

To avoid the stupid A.I to get on the right lane and get permanently blocked.

[@joelbradley5198]

If this were an actual load this size you'd permit to take both lanes through cities

[@snakecold6755]

rylee L this is truckkkkkkkk. stupid ask

[@mikemajoris8283]

Mc19 Baavai I’m sorry... Was that supposed to be English?

[@xayhilfiger]

which lane you in? LOL

[@TheHuskyGT]

Taking two lanes like an absolute boss XD

[@xayhilfiger]

+TheHuskyGT 😂😂😂😂

[@TheHuskyGT]

Nah, seriously. It's to avoid the stupid A.I from blocking me. They can't recognize the size of the trailer :P
