@@chrishall6367 you're thinking of a big haul truck, that truck sitting there weighs like 120k lbs. What he said was he's grossin 200,000 lbs (truck, trailer, haul truck combo, meaning his truck trailer jeep and buggy weigh around 80k lbs). That weight class of haul truck is kinda considered to be the biggest transportable ones. Anything bigger and your hitting everything and wider then 2 lanes. And ya gotta have a ton of axles.

[@BigRigVideos]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

[@johngritman4840]

Thanks for the excellent video! I am an investor in a logistics company that only hauls over-dimensional, over-weight cargo. The longest trailer (Fontaine) can take a 95,000 load without a jeep or stinger. The tractor is a 2003 Kenworth with a CAT 15L CX under the hood. I think we would need a CAT 16L engine to do what you do. The tractor has four axles, the first rear axle is steerable and liftable. Works well and we have six owner-operator sub-contractors working with us - thank goodness. We moved a Sikorsky S76 CC helicopter but had to use two trucks. The wheels on the bird are so small that we could not put the crated blades under it - not to mention the crate was 32' long. But what fun!!! I don't drive, too old and have post-polio syndrome. I handle the finances and invest; after all it was my son in law's dream and he is like a blood son. The model we built attracts drivers and we have a bunch of veterans. I will put in one requirement: wear a baseball cap that shows your branch of service! Drive safely and may God bless you.

[@billandersson17]

BA from Az. A 777 is a tinker toy compared to a 797 cat. It takes a semi flatbed just to haul the radiator.the dump bed is thirty feet wide, and a semi flatbed can only haul four unmounted tires without being overloaded. The tires are twelve ft. Seven inches tall and four feet wide. So a 777 is a baby.oh yea the price of a 797 cat is $5,ooo,ooo.oo as of 2018.

Jordan farrar Nope. You have a gearbox. Torque is useful when you start rolling. Even though you don't need that much. To pull that load it's enough a 300 hp engine with 1500 to 2000 Nm of torque. The weakest truck engine can do it.
