MY FIRST HEAVY HAUL LOAD IT WAS TRUCKING AMAZING !!!

[@bk-n-ga6652]

Once you get used to loading excavators, you can use the inside of the track and use the boards on your trailer as a guide

[@truckingwithbennii]

The guys there told me that after the fact I started getting the hang of it to the end even switch to using my hands instead of my feet

[@bk-n-ga6652]

Rule of thumb when loading equipment use the lowest power setting and always use the hand controls .

[@scottberry5266]

Load or unload everything at a idle. We ain’t in no hurry.

[@Blue_Sky_Hotshots]

Man you don’t even know how amazing this is to watch!! I started as a Non CDL Hotshot, have jumped up to a Ram 4500 with a 30K trailer with air ride. Then next step in about 2 years, a nice used truck so I can run a 6 axle RGN setup to haul heavy machinery, autoclave tanks, etc. and then bump up to a 9 axle a few years after that. I hope I can fulfill my journey, and watching your videos helps!

[@yrbuddy77]

Congrats to you, pops and your lady on this new level you have unlocked.

[@truckingwithbennii]

Thank you 🙏🏾

[@BillDozer316]

Yes sir, doing big things. I think other people mentioned some of these tips already but just for the hell of it, I'll throw em out. I haul these machines pretty much weekly(this exact machine actually). Easiest way to load is line up your inside track on the 2 board, won't even have to worry about the passenger side. And you'll start to learn the same thing on various machines. It'll take some practice but once you get the hang of what you're looking at, it's much easier only looking at one side. Also, try to get used to using ONE hand on the controls for loading. Inside palm for right side and thumb for left side. Much, much smoother transitions rather than using both hands on controls. Keep an eye on overhang measurements on your permits. Our permits usually allow for 13'6" of overhang but yours could be different. Also on these long reach machines, our DOT up here in PA likes to see two chains over the stick. One close to the bucket like you have, and another somewhere over the axles on the trailer. The main boom and stick are very heavy and throwing a second chain eliminates any bouncing and ultimately wear and tear on your trailer. We all started somewhere! Be safe and vigilant!

[@aj14071]

I’m so proud of y’all as a team fam! Truly a definition of what true growth is out here in this trucking world. I’ve been following you along the journey from hotshots to heavy hauling and bro y’all have been learning and killing it 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🙏🏾

[@fatstax8478]

Happy Father's Day bro I'm glad to see another brother out here doing something positive. Keep on trucking :)

[@mattjv2142]

A few tips if you will. 1.trailer had no air until you release the trailer brakes. Otherwise it would be leaking when you are bobtailing. 2 you need a sock for the exhaust on equipment. It turns the turbo otherwise without oil which damages it. 3 signs and lights others have commented on. 4 overhang is only meant to be if trailer is out of room. I understand the weight on the axle thing though. You did not mention what your axle weights were. Or I missed it.

[@Sto-Lo0703]

Hard work pays off bro! I run reefers, but plan on diving into deck real soon.

[@truckingwithbennii]

I heard reefer was good to though

[@barryminor6245]

Yeah bruh your correct, the trailer brake has to be released in order to supply air for operation. When on an incline or decline it would be good to have some heavy duty chock blocks to chock the wheels of the trailer while allowing the trailer time to reach maximum air operating capacity. Big ups to you for challenging yourself to learn all you can in this industry. It will prepare you for unforseen scenarios and give you an advantage over others that have one dimensional expirence. You did a good job for your first time loading heavy track equipment. Stay safe and keep your head & eyes on swivel.

[@joshuathomas9949]

You already know this big dawg just a reminder, these loads have to pay right 24/7 allot of responsibility and work to do it right, never feel rushed or in people’s way, stay safe💪💪🙏

[@teddygardner3282]

What’s going on bro congratulations and welcome to the HEAVY HAUL side. Just a little FYI even though you're under 80,000 the axles still have to be legal weight. just remember when your over 34,000 on the trailer you need the third axle down to scale out the 34,000 and the center of your well is your turn signal. I’m out of Atlanta as well, maybe one day I get to link up with you on the road.💪🏾

[@jeanvenero6749]

Why would he need the 3rd flip down ? Each of those axle he can get 20k on. So with just the 2 axle would be rated for 40k and he scaled at 34k @teddygardner3282

Direct tie down for a binder you get the full wLL which I have 15,000 binders . Even if you cut that binder in half bro with what your saying that’s 7500 x 4 which is 30000 plus the two chains in the back I have with the binder plus the chain over the bucket . I think I’m good

Could you have spun the boom around to the front and put the weight more on the trailer axles? Or not enough room? That would get the weight of the counterweight off the neck.

Hey try to put more weight on the truck when you can. Start all the way forward and adjust it back if you need to

[@thepeeve]

@@truckingwithbennii I mean start out with the weight towards the truck. If you’re over on the drives, move it back. You would rather have the weight be more towards the truck if you can.
