Crazy Quarry Haul! (American Truck Simulator)

I challenge myself to haul a double trailer of limestone out of the biggest quarry I've ever seen in American Truck Sim! The quarry is located just outside of Concepcion del Oro in Mexico and the destination is Pinos.

That ramp after the steep drop said “rampa de frenado” which roughly translates to “ramp to break” so basically it’s there for vehicles to break if they’re going too fast

[@crunchy_0750]

When the game stopped I think my KZbin crashed but when he said hello! It was hilarious

[@GN10Gaming]

same

[@Fearagen]

I though my computer crashed

[@d3von443]

Pranesh gamer Omg same I paused it trying to test if it would work or if it had just shut down

[@Killer-un4dx]

Pranesh gamer same🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Killer-un4dx]

I closed my application when it went quiet and stop

[@Just2Comment789]

freaky how true to life the scenery is. I'm from West US and I knew the attention to detail was near perfect when that officer cut you off in the town.

[@nicktinsey]

that ramp at 24:40 is a runaway truck ramp for when a truck loses brakes going downhill. happens when a trucker doesn't manage the speed of their truck coming down correctly and they can't slow it down enough and use the brakes too heavily, you get brake fade and the brakes stop working or they can catch on fire( ive seen it)

[@armandorodrigues144]

«prohibido transporte pesado» means trucks can't drive there, translated does not make as much sense «heavy transport forbiden» BUT taking context into account it would be «heavy haul/loads not allowed» and the fact that it does not state a max tonnage means even an empty truck is not allowed to drive in that road, much less a truck pulling 2 trailers

[@davedegray5307]

I've never seen this game, it looks fun. I used to haul dairy in 48 foot smooth bore tankers. Some of my heavier loads were close to 90,000 pounds. Smooth bore trailers have no baffles due to sanitary issues and can be very dangerous to drive because the milk can flow freely back and forth and side to side which can easily flip a truck. Thanks for posting.

[@PublicWifi]

That quarry gives me anxiety, having tumbled to my doom in Snowrunner's tiny quarries many times.

[@Stevenzao]

Alto means stop or high/tall. Pesado means heavy. Camino Sinuoso means curvy road. And mexican is not a language. They speak Spanish. Other than that, good video!

[@Stevenzao]

Also, that huge ramp with the red line is for runaway trucks which for some reason are unable to brake properly, so they may escape the main road and slow down on the uphill section. There’s quite a lot of those here in South America.

[@username65585]

What do "stop signs" say in Mexico or other Spanish speaking countries.

[@andrewlafleur8146]

Alto

In my country, Argentina, they read "Pare".

[@im20ok]

well if you ask an Spanish guy he will divade spanish onto Castilian From Spain and spanish Olso Wrongly called Latin spanish to diferenciate those two

[@DuckOfRubber]

The ramp is a runaway truck ramp. They are designed to help trucks stop if their brakes fail while going down a steep hill and are pretty common in mountainous areas of North America. They're usually covered about a foot deep with sand or fine gravel so the truck sinks into it helping them stop. Of course once you stop you're never moving again without heavy duty towing equipment or a crane so its a much better idea to just take care of your brakes.

[@dragoniv]

Metal Tonka toys...those were the days.

[@sammy4282]

Greg Baumbach I have one of those and it's paint was almost fully gone with the axles moving side to side lmao.

[@chrisglover8510]

i use to sit in the dumptruck and ride down hills

[@jonboy318ownzatDO]

Rooftop I thought i was the only one who would sit on that metal dumptruck and haul ass down the driveway lol

[@dbjm88]

You can still get them here in australia. I brought one a year or so ago for my daughter. Hard to find but they are around

[@ianburgess9884]

ThatOneGuyPablo me too lol

[@bengosling4606]

Hey Paul, Googled this. Bingham Canyon Mine,opened in 1906 and located near Salt Lake City, is the world's deepest man-made open pit excavation. The mine is 2.75 miles (4,5km) wide and 0.75 mile (1,2km) deep.

[@shtboxgarage905]

Ben Gosling I live near there mah man

[@blckcloud15253]

I notice that hauling a fairly heavy load you were going from 4th to 5H, if you spit 4th into 4H then proceed to 5H you will only lose about 200 RPM between splits, going from 4th to 5H is at least 800 - 100 RPM difference that takes a long time to recoup. I have hauled 75,000 lbs this way and splitting the higher gears will allow faster acceleration and will aid in getting up to speed.I use the 600hp Cummings with the Fuller 18 split with retarder as well and love the way she splits the higher gears, It would be nice to be able in the future to choose rear diff ratios as well.

[@Owencr905]

6:00 thought it was my phone Then squirrel says hello 😂

[@therealjamespickering]

I bought my son one of those Tonka trucks. It's a mix of metal and plastic, but he would often ride in the bin. Fortunately, they are still pretty well made.

[@Braeden123698745]

"In the Mexican map there's a lot of speed bumps." I've been to Mexico, there's a lot of speed bumps

[@B2BWide]

Perhaps because they're on the Mexican map... ;)

[@william0310tw]

The mirror is so bright, but the rear was so dark...nicely done!

[@kenshaw6985]

looking down on the quarry the perspective of height is crazy great video paul

[@JohnNorris411]

I used to pull doubles on worse and darker roads than that. Make it much darker, Narrower and add in enough potholes it looks a moonscape and shake your teeth loose, then you got some realism. Great vid, I think I am going to go try this game out.

[@robotdancer1836]

For the firt time in forever 24:52 omg squirrel used his engine brakes can you believe it.

[@jdonovan74]

All of a sudden a couple weeks back on Sunday Night Trucking he started using them!

[@greyed]

Love that it is so wide that in the rear view mirrors all you see is the sky box.

[@TheMightyBren]

I think in Mexico they call "Mexican food" just "food".

[@same69410]

Late but nice FRIENDS reference :D

[@fernandorendon317]

Haha I'm super late but we kinda do call it Mexican food lol

[@LeonAllanDavis]

Nah...when you go to Mexico, you'll see signs advertising "Mexican Comidas"... They do that for the tourists who mostly eat at McDonald's....

[@dominickthornburghakaTRG]

This map is Beautiful. I'd like to see the modders make an American version of this map. Like Squirrel said most maps don't have this much detail.

[@HMSHOOD1920]

When I was younger, for one of my birthdays, I received these two TONKA toys. One was a dump truck, the other a weird flatbed-tipper with a crane. Both where very very large, so much that I could have my younger brother and cousin ride in them at the same time. It also helped that were made mostly of metal.

[@weswheel4834]

17:45 - Good job they put that fence up, someone could go over the edge there...

[@Braeden123698745]

"Why did you have to slow down for no reason" Hahahahahahahahahahaha Welcome to the Americas!!

[@Bomenix14]

I use to work for C.R. England. Seeing the truck blew my mind in nostalgia.

[@rorykelly8367]

That truck looks so nice

[@atraxr603]

That ramp is for trucks to slow down if their brakes fail. We have such ramps here in Europe as well. Not many but they are usually at the bottom of a big hill, mostly ones that don't have any turns and are more or less straight down.

[@alphacentaurianperson]

As someone whose childhood involved playing with broken Tonka toys, I disagree with your statement at 4:46. They were good toys though.

[@carpymoreno]

In fact SCS did extreme maps on the past. Remember 18 WoS Extreme Trucker? It was all about crazy roads and places.

[@Greendile]

Alto means “high” in Spanish, Mexican is not a language. Anyway good vid as always

[@gabrielluis3344]

And pesado means heavy, but good on you, Mr. Squirrel, it's very close to pescado which actually means fish.

[@SixteenVoice]

People will be upset with you correcting Squirrel. But I understand the importance of what you are doing. Even if Squirrel is not that type of person, there will be others who need to hear what you are saying in order to not keep perpetuating stupid ideas about Mexico and Mexicans.

[@DuckOfRubber]

In Spanish alto can also mean loud, or in this case, stop.

[@nickgushue]

Prolly said that cuz he was foucusing so hard on the game, still important to say tho

[@zengrath]

Before he said Alto was stop, i thought it meant high as in high drop, then when he said stop i just accepted it as my spanish knowledge isn't that good, ,glad to see i was right after all :)

[@MGDDops]

thanks for the video. It reminds me how I went up there with a double trailer. I celebrated it similarly. 18-speed gearshift with shifter and mega-shifter on a Kenny W900 in the dark and rain. :-)

[@leahknight1230]

my god thats HUGE

[@jamesjin1668]

Hi, the huge ramp at 24:41 that you referred to as a road under construction is actually a run-away ramp for vehicles with overheated brakes after coming down from that steep hill.

[@coffeeflavouredapples]

So your taking a double BOTTOM trailer out of a HUGE quarry to a place called PINOS Am i the only one thats giggling at this?

[@gwenynorisu6883]

Normally it's the other way round though, surely?

[@11Survivor]

Now I cannot unsee it.

[@sandhill9313]

I like the mine so much that I time trial myself in and out always a challenge to do it more quickly. I think it's the most spectacular scenery ever in ATS, although there are a number of spots in Mexico that are just jaw dropping.

[@agentice7718]

Reminds me of the times when my dad would drive on roads like this

[@toddsimone7182]

That ramp is a runaway ramp in case of brake failure. Frenado meaning braking. Very cool.

[@xDerpOG]

"As we drive the quarry will get progressively more lit" ... same

[@WarRior-rn4kb]

Looks like an awesome vid to me.. Early on I noticed that you keep looking to the back.. all the way left.. since it's a trucking sim.. and I'm a trucker in real life, just wanted to point out that no one does that while driving. :D

[@northeastworld9692]

That quarry was epic! But I did not know why random checkpoints appeared.the scenery was amazing.

[@GoldenTiger5457]

Who else was sitting there like “fall off, fall off, fall off.”

[@ianvicedomini2648]

I like the quarry ones. Always a challenge to look forward to. Nice rig mate

[@geoffthomson2452]

Hi Squirrel very good video. I actually went down and hauled a single trailer out a starting at 9pm and finally got to the top at around 5am . Very exciting driving up there in the dark. Unfortunately did not get my video to work but might have to do it again sometime. Was rather exciting and a big adrenaline rush.

[@TwstedTV]

24:25 - Those ramps are for emergency stop for Trucks that either run out of breaks or can not slow the truck due to mechanical reasons. They are filled with special compound and very lose gravel. When you roll on them, they will sink the truck into the ground forcing the truck to come to a complete emergency stop. many locations throughout USA have these. its also known by a few other names one of them being "bailout ramp". Also if you do happen to roll on these, you WILL need a tow truck to get you out, because your truck will be sunk into the ground. Usually a 60 or 80 -Ton Rotator will do the rescue. Because they also can not roll on the "bailout ramp" as they will also get stuck. so a Rotator use used instead. If you happen to be too far along the "bailout ramp" a crane will do the rescue instead, in replacement of the Rotator wrecker.

[@MrToasterPro]

The red line on the road it's for trucks that have lost their brakes going downhill. If you follow it you'll get into a gravel ramp where your truck will get to a safe stop. The ramp at the end its where you can stop your truck if your brakes fail.

[@eddog6666]

The red line in Mexico are use to show truckers the line to an Emergency Truck Stop Ramp. it is made for trucks to get stuck in if there is a problem

[@machunewyorican39]

Yup, I Remember Those Tonka Metal Trucks I Actually Manage To Break One As A Child. I Rode On Them BUT When I Got Board, I Started To Take'm Apart.. Could NOT Put It BACK Together.. LOL, LOL The Look On My Mom's Face Was EPIC Since Like You Said They WERE Hard To Break.. ( Then I Came Into The Picture.. ) OOh, My But Was RED From The Spanking I Got.. ( They Were Expensive As Well As Being Metal.. )

[@ourmilotin2819]

24:50 It’s a run of ramp for semi’s that can’t stop

[@MSEdits_MaxScEditing]

Casually went on YT, I never clicked so fast !

[@johnsouza5943]

Very well done Squirrel, there are jobs and places like that in California, I used to be a truck driver and I've pulled a double belly dump out of places like that. So again very well done.

[@_iBlu]

Squirrel I Dare you to get out of the quarry in a Heavy Trailer.(Like if you want Squirrel to do it)

[@davidknobby4922]

Dear?? Dare!

[@_iBlu]

Dare sorry

[@davidknobby4922]

No its fine I understand I do it to :D I just wanted to tell you so Squirrel could read it better :D

[@Zeithri]

Two thoughts: 1) Imagine if that Quarry had others driving up and down while you are trying to get out. 2) You want to. You know you do. Make. That. Jump ~

[@davidruiz8712]

Rampa de Frenado, is the emergency "runaway truck" ramp at the bottom of the hill. the red line guides you to it. BTW the large construction signs were letting you know the ramp is currently inoperable, and not to use it; probably due to the crash at the ramps entrance. "Carril Izqierdo solo para rebasar" is left lane for passing only. edit: "Unidad Regional De Seguirdad" is the "Unified Regional Security" department. and the crossed "E"s as you entered the town mean no parking... right next to the two parked trucks lol.

[@jimmij7788]

I remember riding my Tonka truck around my block as a kid. And you are right. They were made out of metal those days. I remember taking a hammer to mine to try making dents in it like it was beat up. I'm sure you would just completely destroy a new tonka truck if you took a hammer to one.

[@onlyinred1]

Ah, Tonka toys... I remember I used to sit on mine (metal truck) and go down my street... I miss them XD

[@CurseMonstr]

Yeah real life they're getting those rocks out of the road before any hauling is done hahah

[@tjbeardslee5099]

Its a runaway truck ramp made specifically for trucks if they lose controll of their breaks. Its so they can stop safely.

[@minime-clashofclansmore8290]

This challenge was so easy

[@joshhuffines5978]

Great video Squirrel. That quarry was something else. As scary as it was, it was also some beautiful views looking over the side down into the quarry. Really enjoyed this haul.

[@mazaradie1119]

I still have a collection of old metal Tonka toys and I used them in a pile of sand that was very fun to move around with them and they still work all though they haven't moved for years

[@abrahamhinojosa8261]

I love the level of detail on this mod, as a Mexican this is really cool to see.

[@user-mi8ie2kq4e]

Video games physics, gotta love'em.

[@ThePartySquid]

Wow that quarry is amazing

[@theR1ddle]

In defense of Squirrels" Mexican/Spanish confusion, living in Arizona all my life, I know I can say that the Spanish used by Mexicans this day and age is a language all its own. Based on Spanish but is not proper Castilian Spanish any more. Catalan and Galician are other regional languages in Spain that also get called Spanish, they have differences but they can at least still talk with each other. Having family that speaks Spanish (Bolivian), you would not believe the difficulty they have trying to talk to Mexicans. As far as they are concerned, Mexicans speak Mexican and they speak Spanish. An example to English would be comparing American English to Queens' English. I'm sure if you asked some British people what we speak in America, many would say "American" and not "English". I guess I would have to agree with them. But I'm being too serious. To have a laugh watch this scene in Austin Powers where they use extreme examples of British slang. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHrEmopnjdetrqM

[@seraphina985]

I dunno most Brits would probably consider it more of an idiosyncratic use of English for the most part, but then most Brits are familiar with the vocabulary from American media anyway so it just sounds a little odd when you refer to the rubbish bin as a trash can or the bonnet and boot of a car as a the hood and trunk for example but it's understood what you meant all the same.

[@theR1ddle]

You are quite right. Being an American, I myself never found it all that difficult when watching anything on BBC. I always enjoyed a good episode of "Are you Being Served" growing up. :-) That's more or less how I feel about Mexican Spanish vs Spain Spanish despite my families' disagreements. I grew up listening to Mexican Spanish much more than Spain Spanish, ( they were only around for holidays and such) so I'm more used to the Mexican dialect. I don't understand their problems, I guess the difficulties my family has is mostly having to do with their pride and / or their impatience. Again, I didn't mean to get too serious in my original comment. P.S. to anyone reading. If you never heard of "Are you Being Served" and like old British comedies. Look it up. It has great actors like Mollie Sugden and John Inman. Sadly, they have since left us. But I hope their comedy can be enjoyed and remembered far into the future.

[@AristotelisMitsiou]

theR1ddle Then again, a 2 minute Google search on what they speak isn't much to ask for, no matter the confusion. There are other languages too that are spoken differently by different ethnicities but you don't see most people getting those messed up.

[@yngwiedmb]

Galician and Catalan are different languages than Spanish, as even grammar is not the same although they share some roots. Castillian is commonly used to refer to Spanish as a whole and equivalent to it, although historically it used to be spoken in Castilla mainly. Probably the Queen's English vs American English example is more accurate as mexican variant is still not a language by itself, even considering slang and idioms. As for Squirrel, I don't think he put much thought into it, just a quick reference to the language they speak in Mexico. We all make up words all the time.

[@gwenynorisu6883]

From the sound of it, Mexican Spanish is probably more like Jamaican Patois compared to English. Like you can see the links and make out some of what's being said, but still need a translator for a lot of it. (And Canarian Spanish is allegedly like the heavy Scots English version... more understandable than Jamaican, but harder work than American, Australian, New Zealand or South African English...)

[@raymond8875]

Super enjoying your WTF's of Mexico's roadways. I can relate.

[@blendpinexus1416]

the crazy places are the fun ones, especially with mods to enable bigger trucks.

[@Yirm0w]

Trailer looks great, truck looks great. Have a good day Paul

[@tomservo75]

17:43 Oh NOW they have guardrails!

[@patrickmusson4571]

Good to see ATS getting some love and attention. The VM map is great. It's good to see you cut most of the intro on your videos.

[@johan.ohgren]

I think it's safe to say that Squirrel has become quite the trucker since I first watched one of these trucking vids.

[@metalstorm54]

The ramp is designed for emergency breaking In case of break failure

[@propfella]

Great drive and you didn't get a ticket. I was sure that cop was going to get you. The only guy you never tooted was one in the quarry, he waved to you, the first one at the right hand side. Bugger having to work there, although judging by all the parked dumpers they were given the day off so they could watch you drive off the edge. :-) I just wanted to the Lemming do his stuff.

[@DavidMarksTV]

Hi Paul, I've been playing SimAirport again lately. Forgot just how much fun it is especially now after the latest updates with multiple floors and more complex conveyor belt systems. Would love to watch you play it or Airport CEO...could be a fun series for you to do and for us to watch? Keep up the good work :)

[@coltsigma]

Back when I was growing up in the 70s in Canada I remember having a metal Tonka truck as you mentioned I also remember the advert for it being thrown of a quarry or somthing to that affect and it survived I loved that toy. I was born in Scotland moved there when I wasn't even one year old moved back to Scotland in 79 anyway love you videos and the solo flights anyway keep trucking and perhaps see you on the ETS or ATS someday. coltsigma.

[@Margalus]

This reminds me of the Awibmap mod for ETS2. I really miss the old Awibmap mod. It added all kinds of hazards and blockages in ETS2, had some really challenging jobs with that mod, especially combined with oversized load mods...

[@alex-fl7lz]

I believe this is actually representing a Copper mine...nice job Squirrel!

[@TheAvalanche88]

Really love the recent output of vids Squirrel! Appreciate it and keep up the great work :)

[@robthebuilder9908]

I had the Tonka dump truck in 1976 all metal was my favorite toy.

[@LS09God]

In the Netherlands (might be in other countries to) the commercial for Tonka had a Jeep parking the left front wheel on a Tonka tipper and it didn't brake. That's what I call STRONG. lol Edit: They did it with an olifant foot to at one point.

[@pgraiders272]

We also have runaway ramps in Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and other states with wavy highway in the mountains.

[@leroyrooney1412]

@Squirrel that trailer combination is called an A-train, it is possible to reverse them, its just a bit difficult.

[@xMVPx]

Hey Paul, I just wanted to say I love your trucking videos man, your Euro truck Sim and American truck Sim are my favorite videos to watch, keep up the great work Paul!!

[@ElwoodEmmons]

Rampa De Frenada "breaking Ramp" It help's if your breaks are fading/failing from heat. In America we have something simular called a run away ramp or emergency ramp if you lose your breaks normally it's filled with sand or gravel. "No Utilce Rampa" Means don't use ramp which I'm guess is to let general traffic know not to use it.

[@Matty2003]

Great video as always Paul. I have another ets2 suggestion for you though: try out the six trailers with dolly, like the trailer combination with three and four that you have done before. It is a challenge, but definately possible, especially for an experienced driver like you are

[@turboflush]

Those old tonka toys are worth some money now.

[@MikeBrown_LensesOverLand]

Fantastic run Squirrel

[@halfassedmodding]

Doubles like that track better than a single trailer.

[@Dkentflyer]

Wow that was a trip! Thankyou for a very enjoyable video squirrel

[@VinnieP.B.]

Regards and Respect from BULGARIA, Paul!

[@zandorius]

havent played ages but still enjoy your videos, very relaxing, except for when your about to go over the edge!

[@crowdaddy6472]

Maybe ATS can do a competition from this quarry see how many truck loads we can deliver from here next like the Big Sur loads that sounds fun

[@MellowYe77ow]

This is not SCS' map.

[@LetsKeepThePeace]

This map is amazing! Nice driving, my palms were sweating in the quarry. Jesus i hate heights! Great vid as always.

[@tyler8480]

AAAAAA! I still have an old metal Tonka toy! MEMORIES! Enjoyed the video, keep it up!

[@-TJ-]

35:40 You cut into his lane.

[@TheCheezyQuaver]

I had the exact same Tonka Truck My brother and I used to push each other round sitting in the dumper you really couldn't break it OH the Memories.

[@kjemradio]

@Squirrel. Did you know that Tonka is short for Minnetonka? Yup. That's the Minnesota city where the toy line was born (proud MN native here). Like you, I loved the proper metal Tonka trucks of my youth. These plastic Tonka trucks really make me sad because they really took the fun out of the toy. Cheap plastic that breaks so easily, and leave them outside so they crack in the hot sun.

[@TransferPoint9346]

You drove 94 miles just to exit that quarry. GG!

[@joshedwards8526]

No the ramp looking thing is so when ya breaks in ya truck go out you can use that to stop we have those in Australia down long, best downhill roads
