There's a funny story about the naming of Camp Toccoa. Originally, it was named Camp Toombs, after the Confederate General Robert Toombs. But Colonel Robert Sink, the commander of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment (Easy Company's parent unit), disliked the name, due to the fact that it might foster superstition among the young recruits, since they were traveling on Georgia Route 13, one of the place the recruits passed on the way to the camp was the Toccoa Casket Company. The colonel was able to persuade the Department of the Army to ditch the Camp Toombs name in favor of Camp Toccoa.

I was about to jump out of my skin when I seen how the operator (of sorts) had that generator rigged. My only thought was I hope it don't come down on somebody. But you made it out safely with Orwell so good enough.

[@bulldog_OTR]

Osha would've had a field day with that one. No rope to guide it. only 2 straps and 4 clevises. no hard hat while something was up in the air above them. improper hand communication between the operator and ground man. But on the bright side it wasn't a skid steer that they had to beat the forks with.

I cannot believe the times I see a guy move a load without a tag line.

Would've been nice but I don't think that slab of wood he uses to prop up the deck would handle the deck _and_ the generator. Splinters everywhere. 😳

There is probably insurance issues with leaving the trailer in the lane of travel with no tractor attached.

Well that certainly went better than the last unload. Sure makes a difference having the right equipment for the job.

Last load was closer to the ground, still sketch, but less likely of lots of damage. This unload... well so many things that could have been a huge issue, yet it all worked out.

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Steve really enjoy all the different camera angles and your commentary. Have to agree with you on the way they lifted that genset just a little sketchy. Looking forward to your next video stay safe Steve.

[@DavidLeslie65]

Thank you for the comment about how you would not do it. As an ex mechanical contractor I have rigged a lot of loads and watching them rig was scary. I watched an electrician rig a bigger generator like that and smacked it into the parking lot when th heavy end slipped

[@darylthisdelle7702]

There was nothing I liked on what and how they did that lift. No very professional what so ever. Many times lives were at risk if something went wrong. I am surprised they actually took time to extend the outriggers. So many places are like that. Ya did a first class job in backing that in off the road in one swing. Maybe you edited out the other 19 attempts but thinks not. Love the camera angles. Love how your viewers get to see every aspect of what it takes to run a successful trucking business. I think it’s time to break out the Polka music. Anywho FSC another great video. Have yourself a great and a safe day. Happy trails and happy motoring.

[@GameRunnerd]

Cabover didn't bottom out, the trailer did.

[@charlesfrascona2073]

I’m sure you saw it after watching your video, but your ratchet straps for the ramps weren’t locked

[@JohnHallgren]

It seems to me that it was the strap for the tire that wasn’t fully locked. The ramp strap was underneath that.

All the major road junctions in my part of the world were reinforced concrete to stop them being damaged by all the tracked vehicles getting ready for D day.

[@billypierce7376]

Not new. Old school. Don't need a tag line. They got it unloaded.

[@billypierce7376]

@Harley 2die4 Racist? What dose that have to do with anything? Didn't know a tag line could talk. Lmao

[@billypierce7376]

As far as I seen, on the video, he had no problem delivering the generator. Remember the first one, side heavy. Looked like they had it under control. Don't be so fast to judge.

[@Mike44460]

I ran overhead crane, 140ton and under. Most flat bed loads were 40,000 pounds and under. I always liked to get the load just above the trailer height, but not over it, but to the side of the trailer. Then, move over to set it on the trailer. The reverse for unloading, pick it up to clear the trailer, and move away. Loaded some 100ton plus super loads as well.

[@dougspencer3572]

I like the videos. Look forward to watching them. Have to ask, what is that handle on the top right of the dash used for? Stay safe and God bless.

[@John13Edge]

I can’t believe how that poor genset got pick off of your truck…the weather cover is thin tin just to support the sound proofing…should of had a spreader bar to protect environment cover…..by the bounce of the crane it really wasn’t big enough for load or operator was not very skilled and if he keeps shock loading that boom like that it will be laid out across the ground shortly.

[@fsctrucking]

And if it did, I'd have 3 angles on camera

Steve, you do a great job. Get er done you and Orwell. 😊

[@michaelrocker9000]

Those crane people are dangerous. Once that generator left your trailer they were asking for trouble. Free hanging without at least one tagline to stabilize it. Then again once it was off the deck it was no longer your responsibility. Plus the fact you recorded it helped. It made the guy with the skid steer seem like a pro. Stay safe and see you at MATS..

[@erikwilliam1254]

I have a wheeled Case SV300 skid steer, biggest you can get. Would have handled those generators just fine. Depending on how you drive them, they actually drive really smooth even when turning. The forks i have, have multiple points i can hook to when moving something i feel needs tied/secured. Those generators for example.

Good job Steve, not your first tight spot to get into to!

[@robpeters5204]

Those guys are cowboys or something wild like that. Lifting that weight so far in the air was a friggin stupid move!!! You NEVER do that. Keep it low ad the boom raises and then lower it on to the deck. . If the chain or strap were to break then it doesn’t have far to fall unlike being 30 feet in the air.

I was amazed how strong the top of the generator is. If I rigged like that I would have been bending sheet metal. I cannot believe how high they lifted it. I do rigging as part of some of my deliveries and we never lift any higher than we have to. In the other video it was safer unloading with the skidsteer. But this should have been a rough terrain forklift job. Or have an operator that uses more caution when unloading.

Speaking of concrete roads in Pennsylvania, if you ever heard of PA State Route 654, PA State Route 654 used to be concrete. It was like that for years before I was born.

[@EmergencyGuy]

Now PA State Route 654 is micropaved, meaning it’s been paved with tar and stones (oil and chips). Micro paving uses tar and stone to pave roads so cars and other road sharing vehicles can use the road quicker than they can with an asphalt road.

[@fsctrucking]

Chip seal destroys cars

My dad usually waits until the loose stuff comes off before driving on freshly micropaved roads.
