How CRAZY Can This Load Get??? TOUCHED POWER LINES ON THE WAY IN!

[@emptycoffin]

Hey, mate. Experienced Australian B double (b train but short front, long rear trailer) and road train driver here. I've worked in some sketchy areas and I currently manage accident investigation and rectification in heavy vehicles. I understand why you've struggled here. I would have driven in with the full set as well. It's so fascinating to see how other minds work when running trucks. Couple of notes: Every time I see you a little stumped and not sure what to do you've gotten out and evaluated. I wish more people would. A+ it doesn't matter which way works, so long as it works. don't be afraid to drop your airbags when trying to get under things. (Moffat and load are obviously a concern too, I get it.) Don't be afraid to lift up your trailer legs and drop your airbags when there's no room. It'll give you just a little more room to help you to manoeuvre the truck out of a tight spot. Sometimes it really is faster to split up where it's easier... But it's no way near cooler. Keep up the great work, champion. And don't hurt my antenna!

[@butchclifford8733]

A chimney sweep asks are you good there? You respond with can I get you to pull out, then he proceeds to question your ability to do your job by giving instructions, what was the purpose for asking are you good there? Spanky was all choked up when he realized that you were cool and professional, good job Matt. Keep the rubber side down.

[@KoolAidAnd]

Those new moffett tires were a great idea. Really putting them to work in this video!

[@Darkwolfe.]

I enjoy your attitude more than my attitude. When I first started driving, I used to drive an old 47 sterling with a 5 and 3 with a bench seat And a set of doubles. Then the second truck that I ever got, I believe, was a 72-73 freight liner with a 4 by 4. Most people today don't even know how to drive a side by side shift. And then finally, I got to jump into a 1977 Peterbilt, a sweet old thing It had a 13 speed Road Ranger. and that made life a whole lot easier. But I sure would love traveling these trips with you. But my trips are over, and younger men now travel the Eastern Sea Board in the U.S. Enjoy brother.

[@michaeldavies6580]

i always carry 15ft rope just for these kind of loads tie it to the forklift to the metal straps of the bundles good video

[@TheRoadhammer379]

Hey Matt, on loads of insulation board where the operators forks don't go through to the other side of the bundles, I run a 2 inch ratchet strap around the bundles horizontally about a foot up the bundle. Then I toss a 2 inch strap over the top,, hook it to the horizontal strap, and the ratchet end gets hooked to the mast and tightened. Works like a charm

[@michaelgaribaldi9216]

What an adventure. I know you probably wouldn't use them that often or even have a place to store them on the truck but a set of fork extenders would of made things a bit easier I'd imagine. The company that gave you that load should of let you borrow a set! hahaha.. Thanks for the video!

[@AyasheCheyenne-y2f]

It's amazing, the blogger is really creative and worth watching

[@dmytroskliarov]

Good job. However, it was possible to try to use the moffet in a slightly different way - as a loader crane. Namely, put two belts under the packet and hang them on the pitchfork. Of course, if the belts are strong enough and can withstand the weight of the packet. At the same time, perhaps it would be necessary to add a counterweight to the moffet.

[@callthemall]

Smart thinking unfortunately the forks don't go that high

I knew if anyone was going to be able to get out of that Fuster Cluck, you were the man to git'er done!! 🤣 I gotta say, my back side was in full pucker mod the entire time you were trying to get that load off! 😟 😉Time for some fork extensions...

You are the Best ! Bravo pour ton courage, tu vas bien dormir

[@Bearcats737]

could possibly get/ build a set of fork extensions and just store them under the Moffit for future stuff like this, 6ft would work just fine for this stuff, they also work for reaching across and sliding pallets closer if you cant unload from both sides. 8fts get to be a pain in the ass

[@Ravensview]

Great job, as usual. But you should get a premium for these tricky ones other drivers just bail on.

[@brownyes6211]

[@justinmunzlinger8471]

thx for sharing, thou you could invest in some fork extensions for loads like this. Or you could use more straps to go all the way around top and bottom of what you need to secure down to move your loads like this. But great work man always enjoy you working along with showing us on ur journey.

[@freedomfighter69]

No clutch at a full stop ? Shut off truck, place in first gear, and start the truck in gear, then start to grab more of them.

[@gerrylaur]

Is your moffit strong enough to lift the Trailer? If so I would halve used it to drag the trailer around. Same as others you need slippers for your forks and strapping system to support over hanging loads. From what I have seen of your other videos this would become an investment to you. Seems you tackle what no one else will. Great Job well done.

[@MrShadow-qz9xj]

You have some sort of patience, between getting that load off, then having to maneuver those trailers and the truck to get back out. Also on a side note you definitely have some pride of ownership, when a scratch on the trailer bothers you.... Enjoy watching your videos.

[@rce8540]

Great show young fellow. Always enjoy

[@TheCommanderDash]

ill add another comment to help with the KZbin algorithm lol so after watching it all great job getting it done. what i would have done is use two straps, chain it to the lift and since your knots held durring the lift tie them on the other side a few times together. that way you don't have to rely on the cheap pallets or the straps. you are relying on your own straps holding it on. kinda lift it up and sneak one under and one over

[@KG_BM]

Lol not sketchy at all. Thanks for each video

[@dfranklin3879]

As an experiment, when you get home, will the Moffet pick up the front of those trailers and maneuver them around? It would really get you out of some trouble spots if you could just drop the trailers and then use the Moffet to get them out of tight spots. You would probably have to get a special hitch setup custom made..Could you mount a 2 5/16 hitch on the front of the trailer that would not get in the way, and then a bar that would fit on the forks that had a 2 5/16 ball on it. This would be for moving empty trailers, not loaded trailers.

[@jimharrison3552]

Investing on buying a set of fork extender's might be good idea, you might not use them often, but when you need them they are worth it.

[@stevec8104]

Might work next time with the strap around the top of the forklift mast so as you tilt back the mast will pull on the strap and help hold on to the load, its worked in the past for me so good luck next time !!!

[@barrymoser6282]

All you had to do was tie the strap off at the top and when you rolled your forks back would have picked it right up instead of tying the strap to each side of the forks each time. Then it would have been level and picked right up and moved around so easy instead of tying the strap to the forks like you did and the slack coming out so much each time.

[@christianb1209]

I think that it will be good that you get some extension forks...it will help you for your next loads...😉

You were over thinking those straps bud, just looped the hook around on the back side would have helped you get good hold on the back side. Those straps were eatN you up, it was great content. Got a good laugh more than a couple times. Laugh at yourself is always the best attitude. 😅🎉😂 very entertaining. A for effort. Invest in some good gloves and some fork extensions & straps. Life would be lil easier. Not hatN friendly advice. Definitely camera overhead looking back would be worth it. I didn’t notice any.
