Day in the Life of a Heavy Haul Truck Driver

[@justinmcclanahan6036]

If you're going to be a heavy hauler don't worry about your paint job on your rig & if you're worried about your paint job then you don't need to be a heavy hauler

[@outperformancelife3145]

You need to be worried about the paint, frame and everything because it will be your ass that gets burned if you dont.

The guy you're with is the real deal. Some people got it and some dont.Take notes Bruce.

[@alexanderupb4546]

that's wanna say it too, that guy knew how to deal with everything, he even know how to power up and put up on the trailer that curb making machine! That man is a good employee for any company!

[@jeff7764]

@@alexanderupb4546that’s because it’s his machine 🤦🏻

[@joedurand6546]

I was a heavy hauler for years. Basically if it fit on a trailer the boss wouldn’t take the job. I loved every minute of it

[@samu-hd6zk]

the scania watching the video: I am stronger, I am better, I AM BETTER!!! 🔥

[@JR36802]

Man how yall got them binders on the tracks. The way it should have been done is hooked on the inside of the tracks and the outside of the trailer

[@wildcoyote34]

always love seeing some more trucking content ,, only thing i like more than actually driving a truck is watching other guys drive trucks ,, i am jealous of the truck , wish i could afford such a nice truck ,, always loved the peterbilt style ,, my truck was built in 1977 as a 359 flat top ,,sometime in 1978 it was rebuilt as a heavy hauler for an oil driller ,, it was given a bigger engine and a 3rd driving axle along with a driven steer axle ,, it's slow as an ox but has more pulling power than it can use ,,, my trailer is a 50 ton drop deck ,don't rightly remember who built it but i like the fold flat goose neck ,,my truck has a 75 ton winch behind the cab for just this purpose , connecting the trailer or loading dead equipment ,,i keep busy here in southwest iowa moving construction machinery and farm machinery for farmers who don't want to drive tractors on the highway

Best career Ive done I was a welder then a diesel Tech now a heavy hauler

[@davidparizek6741]

Bruce, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your Family Thanks for all the Videos 😊

[@soulofahydra5148]

I just got my license this summer and been driving for about 7months now. Doing something like this would be so interesting and one day I’d love to give it a try

[@HiltsyAdventure]

The boom can go up or move to the side if its not properly secured. I just started with ATS and they had a bridge strike where the boom moved and it hit the bridge.

[@geoffgoodall4434]

Hi Bruce, I am a 75yr old retired trucker with lots of experience throughout Europe and worked in the US between March 96 and January 01. I am fascinated by your love for Scania trucks. What does surprise me is that you haven't picked up a bonnetted model. Do you have future plans to get one. Keep the videos coming.

[@tntfreddan3138]

Watched an episode of Svenska Truckers (Swedish Truckers) where one of the guys featured on the show had a generator station on his trailer. Total weight of nearly 170 tons, or something like that. That's roughly 375000lbs. Volvo power baby! The standard Swedish truck and trailer combination has a max gross weight of 141000lbs so 120000lbs isn't very heavy for our standrards ;)

[@scottycollins1829]

Nice short wrk of the Heavy Equipment HAULIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😎🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰🚜⛓️🪝

[@justinpaone2227]

its more to prevent it from going side to side. if the equipment has a way to lock it in, then you don't need a chain. except for certain cercumstances. But every attachment needs a chain, incase the bucket comes off, be it back hoe or skid loader.

[@dangit4341]

Better get started on that inframe for blue collar.

[@jmac217x]

love to see that truck doin the work

[@johnhale9892]

Happy Thanksgiving to you, Bruce Wilson, family, and crew.

[@michaelramos1128]

Light work. Come lowbed on the west coast with the big boys hopping 336’s over the back of a Murray or rackley.

[@aimpointrod]

Translation?

[@derail6996]

I do that 3 to 4 times a day with 320 336 and 349 CATS!

No you don’t

[@edwardstephens247]

Bruce, I hope you and your family had a happy Thanksgiving!

[@ClaytonHartin]

Timelapse trucker KZbin channel is the way to go for super heavy haul… tri drive C500 with a Texas winch bed on the truck. Hauls 230,570lbs or 104,560KGs on the scale. 😂😂 Canada oil patch work

[@normanmooty5776]

I have a question if your hauling a 80.000lb machine wouldn't you have more securement?

[@FL.AirBoater]

You’re know heavy haul driver!

[@OFFFishing]

Daddy Chris needs to take us fishing😊

[@danhsr5512]

Man I miss that side of work it was the easiest thing for me I just need another truck now heavy haul is my passion

[@ShilohShepherd]

Great video. Brutus is looking sharp. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@garycooper42]

Keep on truckin' Bruce! Hope your thanksgiving went well!

[@roymiller6964]

I remember being in the army and they had a truck that hauled the M-1 tank and I had to replace the transmission on that truck. They called it the het

[@ryankelly5303]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone

[@NathanWaldner-w3q]

"awwww hes scratching the trailer" 😫🤣

[@Cocokingable1]

That pete is absolutely gorgeous except for the DEF tank hanging off the side, ruins the entire truck. Next hevy haul video you should use the Scania

[@محمدمحمدالبياتي-ر1م]

Hello Mr. Wilson, I love working with you and I am a truck driver

[@lloydrobinson7081]

I seen the thumbnail an hit play so fast lol knew it was going to Be a good video an Brut look good hooked to that lowboy

[@jeff7764]

I’ve never seen anyone chain a machine down while they’re trailer was split 🤣🤣🤦🏻

[@mrnoah1124]

Nice of Bruce to do a solid 1/4 day of real work and not make a mockery of it like he did that logging video. Maybe he will learn afterall.

[@WVT0587]

Def not loading and chaining down in 5 mins, but maybe some idiots will believe you. You can tell Bruce hasn’t done much heavy haul if this is what he considers heavy, lol, but he’ll learn in time what heavy really is.

[@straybullitt]

Everyone has to learn somewhere. 🤷‍♂️ I'm pretty sure that you didn't pop out of the womb and go straight to driving truck and hauling a 80k lb excavator around! 🤠

[@NathanWaldner-w3q]

you chain down AFTER hooking up.....things might shift a lil

[@tylerw.9305]

Nice video as usual! Next time it would be a lot cooler to show you guys actually driving through traffic and making all the turns etc! Mount a gopro facing forward on whatever your hauling so we can watch

[@Kevin_does_it]

Can’t wait to see Brutus hauling the new trailer can you post a pic what it’s going to look like I am excited😭

[@Crowbar_772]

Haven't seen much of the tratter taxi here lately

[@MikeJones-on8du]

Made my Thanksgiving day even better with a new video from Bruce and the gang... Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Bruce.

A 120.000 ibs i pretty normal in Europe. Double that and we talk heavy. 🚛👌

[@briananderson5284]

Very nice video love the content 😊 keep up the Amazing Work you Guy's Rock !!!

[@justinpaone2227]

as the great guy from indiana says. when in doubt throw another chain. i'd be more worried about the condition of your securement, then the securement itself.

[@scottcarpenter2025]

Hay i was just thinking if blue coller stays you should put some lights on the front and get onr of those towing things that tim Gentry has and turn it in to a tow and recovery rig branch off and make a new chanel

[@svimmelmc]

Heavy haul..? Its just a bit over 54 ton.. . Its normal to drive 60 ton here in Norway. 😊

[@havocreaper2404]

Yeah, with the setup and load he has, it's just a fully loaded truck in North America. Nothing special at all. Bruse is the type of driver that comes into my office every week. A know nothing know it all. I file those resumes under G for garbage.

[@svimmelmc]

@@havocreaper2404 ok. 😂. It’s the bridges and narrow winding roads here in norway that restrict the load to max 60 ton and max lenght 25,25 meters.. But of cource we have wider,bigger heavy loads that requires permit / follow car / closing the road etc…

[@havocreaper2404]

@@svimmelmc yeah same here, last week for me it was 32 feet high 27 feet wide 42 meters long on a hydraulic platform weighing 220,000KG gross next week the same thing ish just heavier 350K Bruce's so called heavy haul turck would leve its guts on the road within a kilometer. That is if he could get it out of the yard onto the road. ( not likely)

Why are unhooking the trellises

[@That379Life]

Where is the 120k pounds ? Neither of those moves was 120k pound load. I know this because Im actually a heavy hauler myself. I do it for a living and. I need to start posting videos of my day to day. Moving 115k pound rock crushers on a 60’ trailer and cat 490’s and long reach track hoes … The real fun stuff…

It’s deleted with the factory vgt turbo

[@joshuakulukulualani4650]

does the blue collar giveaway include people from hawaii?

[@FrankRobertsJr]

Dont know for sure but probably not, unless you want to pay to get it out there. That would a pretty penny to do that too, Id imagine.

[@hawkwarrior5066]

he seams like a sound guy that fella

[@Alreadygone73]

Just wow!

[@DJHumla]

This is awesome, but 120.000 pounds isnt really a lot tho? Normal commercial trucks in norway are rated for 60 tons (which is about 120.000 pounds) and thats just regular driving of goods. Special transports can be upwards of 200.000 pounds and not consider «that extraordinary». Are american trucks and/or roads just weaker?

[@7_str]

How many people does it take to load one baby excavator 😂

Has Aaron been driving the Tratter Taxi? Where's it been?
