Grossing over 116k lbs in a 389 Peterbilt Kitty Cat hauling a John Deere 350D excavator

We picked up a big ole Deere 350D LC excavator in Kentucky and hauled it back to the shop. Follow along to see how much we were grossing.

Nice to see you loading with your father, appreciate your Dad while you can. The relationship that you have with your sons reflects the relationship you have with your Dad. Good stuff!

[@jeffsmith9328]

Clint I’ve hauled a lot of oversized equipment in my years of trucking. And yes there’s a lot of guys that need educated on it

[@kenlawhon-vf7bt]

Educational, and thanks for the ride

[@kymw7833]

Always enjoy a road trip with Clinton see his neck of the wood and it doesn't cost me anything thanks mate the Hoover collaboration will be interesting even to us Aussie,s on the other side of the world Kym Adelaide

[@williamgraham8809]

I am constantly amazed by your skills in so many areas! Truck driver, mechanic, load specialist, businessman and "entertainer "along with a special father who is teaching those skills to your boys!

[@andymack5093]

I think we all fell in love with your Peterbilt when we got just the briefest of looks when you went over and changed out that 850J of DP's a few years back. The fact it's always immaculate inside and out hasn't been lost on us, and say's a lot at how you run your business too. Well done Clint (and Dad!)

[@moman0166]

I moved my equipment ASAP after the auctions because it only takes one time showing up and items missing on my equipment. Talk about a hot buyer the auction company gave me a refund on the missing items because I had photos of the engine compartment, front, back, left and right and closeups of tires. A utility Co. changer tires and rims after I bought one of their utility trucks. I sent pictures to the senior VP of the utility and I got a new set of tires. There’s so much you have to pay attention to it just becomes natural to you. I do appreciate the great job you do.

[@MichaelBrown-qn9hi]

I greatly enjoyed the RIDE ALONG, people just don't realize how important it is to know load securement, that PETE loves to talk. THANK YOU AGAIN.

[@jlconway]

116k and that dang cat is just cruising around like no big deal. That is one well tuned machine, and got to love the music she makes.

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

She’s a runner

[@astonmartin2727]

Whenever a father and son work together on anything they become very rich. Its a fact of life. More people need to realise this important thing in life. I enjoy your channel watching how you guys work closely as a team a get things done. You are a great role model Clint.

[@charlesroberts6965]

Amazing day of heavy hauling..I know it's way tougher than it looks but really cool to watch it done properly. Glad you made it back to the shop safe and sound..looking forward to seeing you showing proper tying down techniques though I never haul anything on the scale you do I am sure there will be some valuable pointers to learn as well. Appreciate you sharing your amazing adventure with us 😊🛠️🇺🇸🔧🚜🚛🚒

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks 👍

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Awesome trip with your father. Value every minute with him because, old people aren't around very much longer.😊

[@stevedibiase728]

Hey I heard that lol a old dude myself just remember wont take long to get old yourself do all you want to and need to when you are younger we all say that including myself but never did all I wanted or could have then.🙁☹

[@genesimons8368]

Gotta admire Dad's willingness to help out. I'm guessing spare time isn't something he often has available.

[@planeiron241]

Great Vid👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@terryrogers1025]

Thanks for the tag along video, these little excursions are always interesting. The 350 looks to be pretty decent.

[@applianceman6194]

Love the sound of a Jake barking away.

[@MartinP1214]

Good to see your dad in the action again!

[@kylejones2075]

They keep making bigger and you keep buying them and bringing them home fixing them up and selling them it was a pretty cool video thanks for sharing

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks 👍

[@python3574]

Good ol’ Seymour…..I grew up there. My friend’s dad was the principal at Nashville High School back in 70’s and 80’s.

[@FeralPreacher]

I retired in '06 from long haul trucking. I mostly pulled a low boy like yours, but much older and in worse condition. I hauled a lot of junk from Richie brothers in Fort Worth and the first time I had a really heavy excavator it was a permitted load. At the first weigh station I was told I was over gross. I knew the weight of the excavator and that of my rig and KNEW I was not over gross. I asked if she meant over axel and could I move the load in the lot? She said you're over and nothing will change that. I had to get another officer to explain that over axel is not the same as over gross. In pouring rain I unchained, repositioned, rechained and passed the weigh in. The officer could not believe I fixed the problem. Tough convincing some people that there is a difference between over axel and over gross. Thanks for sharing you trip.

[@Byroneidem]

in Washington even if you get a bi pass all over sized loads have to go in

[@ElmerJFudd-oi9kj]

Interesting, thanks for the ride and demo of the trailer.

[@Hey_Its_That_Guy]

Thanks for the video, Clinton. Love to hear more about DOT rules. Nice seeing your dad help you out. Would love to hear about his background sometime.

[@jamesmorgan7426]

I Really Enjoy Watching Your video's Awesome the Way You Explain Everything So Well And The Way You Treat Your Employees & Family 👍😃

[@texxasal]

Looking forward to the DOT and tie down video. Thanks

[@6582rg]

Smart move removing that bucket Clint. Thanks for the content. For Officer Hoover, properly balancing the load in relation to the rear trailer axles.

[@justingulick6747]

I said it once and I'll say it again there's nothing like the sound of a good run diesel firing up first thing in the morning with that deep loupe...

[@timjorden8329]

That thing sounds perfect

[@Bman2020]

Great watch Mr. like theses videos 👋👍🇨🇦

[@C_CEQUIPMENT]

Thanks 👍

[@BlueDually4x4]

The fact the regs are different state to state makes it a pain to keep everything straight. You can't bypass a scale in Idaho if you are oversized, even if the sign says you can. That was an interesting ten minute conversation with a DOT officer on the side of the road after I drove by with a green light and he chased me down. That was the first time the system gave me a green when I was over width, I had always been pulled in.

[@terrycannon570]

I love the old Pete.

[@cwbean3087]

I remember one Texas permit that routed me down a goat trail paved road with 14' 6" load height and they permitted me with a railroad bridge of 10'. I had to backup over a mile and I ran hot off route foe 15 miles. The Texas Permit Office hire's people that have no smart's and no give a care of your route. So, if I knew the road, I would argue with them till I got my route or make my own route and sweat bullet's till I got back on route. FUN TIMES!!! :) 45 year's was enough so I sold the company, retired and love it!

[@Troysonsonfire4950]

Ahh… the sound of Jake’s and a road ranger floating gears is music to my ears,great content and cool videos, keep em coming 🤙

[@gwbuilder5779]

You are so right, Clint. I don't know how many drivers I see every day who do not know how to correctly tie down their open trailer freight. Chains through the cross members, a single chain snaked through the D rings on both sides of the trailer with no anchor point, or no chains at all. Actually had a construction company hauling a medium sized excavator dump the machine on its side in the middle of the road because it was free riding. When you mentioned tire rating, you are literally only the second person I've ever heard who understands why running overrated tires is a big benefit. Drivers would ask me all the time why I ran 10 & 12 ply tires when it wasn't required. As an over the road service repair mechanic I never knew how heavy a rig I might encounter broke down on the road. Perhaps these experiences might provide some good conversations with Officer Hoover, as well as why most CDL manuals only recommend new drivers use D rings for tie down. I'm sure you've seen or repaired some of those reasons. Have a great weekend.🤙

[@everestyeti]

You need to keep one of those Army trucks and get yourself a tank carrying trailer, then you'll never be overweight. Off course the other issue is, that your moving a creat lump of Iron and Steel, where all the weight is situated in one place. As someone who's hauled Chieftain Tanks it could get hairy, that's a nice bit of driving Clint. When you do your Q&A about trucking safely, although weights may be different in different countries, how you secure a load is basically the same. In the main it's about equal weight distribution, whether or not your using a truck and trailer of a car an trailer and how you make it safe, is probably universal. It's definitely going to be an interesting one and something I will ! look forward to watching. 👍🤗

[@ryanshadders750]

The sound of that jake brake is like a soothing lullaby

[@charliemancuso5690]

Many years ago I hauled municipe waste (garbage) walking floor trailer. I was over almost every load.

[@quietbrianquiet]

Big Thumbs up. Thumbs up and a comment is the best compliment you can give to a KZbinr. If you never commented before say hello to Clint and get the comments up high on this video so more people get it offered to them! Let people enjoy what you enjoy!

[@ringstinga]

Great video and what a sound that truck makes !!

[@csnelling4]

That was a great video , thanks for taken us out on a scenic tour of the USA Clint . Love the engine exhaust note 🎶.

[@kennethorton3661]

Thank you for taking us on a road trip with you

[@knoester7714]

Good job loading the excavator, and a good job of explaining the tie down procedures.

[@johnnyhunter4345]

Always interesting...see success on you tube for you...

[@bjhunt4909]

Yep on the tire rating. I found out the hard way hauling our excavator. Love your videos my man, keep them coming .

[@thebear5454]

The old 389 pulling another "little" toy for the shop. Quite a sight to see Clint. I'd be more than on edge hauling anything that big. PS...looking forward to seeing Officer Hoover on your channel.

[@morbos]

Some serious moving there! Thats the kind of load that puts you on the evening news if it goes pear shaped. Really appreciated that load up and ride along, thanks for taking us along!

[@jg-xx8oh]

Sure glad I found this channel what great work and working with your pops that’s priceless my friend priceless 🇨🇦❤️

[@adrianm.2043]

Yes I enjoyed the video. You have very different scenery and roads in the USA, to GB to say nothing of your driving on the wrong side of the road!!! the Peterbuilt truck you have is magnificent.

[@rogerdalebone]

Thanks for taking us along Clint.

[@thomasleonard1846]

I would say most frequent offenders are farmers and small haulers, if you do a video, please include 12 to 20 ft trailers and implements!

[@richardmiller5238]

Nice that your Dad is assisting. I'm sure he's loaded with know how knowlege! Nice tractor you have there, sounds great! 👌

[@raypeoples]

I see you brought the professional operator on this job,"LOL"

[@justingulick6747]

And I forgot to mention that I do love the fact that Clint is a Ford fan and that's my kind of guy. Go Blue over

[@blakeroffman221]

It was nice to see your dad on here 😊

[@Mtlmshr]

Loading large track vehicles always looks so simple and straightforward however it probably can be one of the frequent times that equipment gets damaged when a untrained operator doesn’t know what there doing! I’ve seen so many videos of that happening I can’t count!

[@tomrogers9467]

Especially when only half of the track is on the trailer!

[@detroitbob58]

Clint, sure wish you would get a lapel mike for your camera. We can hardly hear what you are saying in your videos. That was a pretty big MA-MOO LOAD for your Peter!

[@denismcardle9568]

Hello from Ireland

[@DelButch]

Again a fantastic Road trip love seeing that country towns and man that thing is a beast of a truck carrying that load

[@emerson2youfucoff]

Well this is a Game Changer I thought Mason was your Truck Driver

[@bertrutledge4546]

Thanks Clint.

[@patdenney7046]

I did a lot of low bed in a small town area! Never knew how to properly tied down The same kind a load. Four corners in the boom only I always wondered but nothing was ever said to me. So that’s how you do it ! Sometimes it’s just the simplest things that are important lucky I never killed anyone hurt myself!

[@zowiefenderblast4602]

Love the sound of those jakes!

[@barrybickle7992]

Thanks for taking us along. You should give driving instruction.

[@jerrytaylor3331]

I really injoyed the video I hauled equipment in my younger days good driving Mr C

[@deborahwebb3598]

Go show guys, my husband is retired and disabled and he enjoys your videos very much thank you and may you all be blessed ❤❤❤❤❤!!

[@richardstahlbusch1636]

Another great video Clinton, I continue to be impressed with you and how you run your business. Great job!

[@peterouellette3874]

Thanks for the ride

[@ericreinoehl4350]

Always glad to see and hear the Peterbilt working, thanks for sharing

[@gtnaylor5870]

Interesting. Nice to see how a professional does it right!

[@lewisjohnson2732]

Awesome video

[@wilsonlaidlaw]

I love how smoothly you drive the Peterbilt. No jerkiness and no missed gearchanges.

[@rp1645]

Thank you C&C for showing the Load up. Especially about the RISE of Tracks at over center points. Very important part of loading these Heavy machines even on a Lowboy. When you watch how much rise in tracks befoe they hit the middle, anything can happen if its not very SLOW at driving tracks on to Low boy. Your filming hits the very important parts, the old school bucket removed, to LOWER Wt.

[@JAMESHOPKINSIBXCNC]

That’s a big boy!!

[@mickjones6509]

In Australia you would get locked up chaining down like that. Here we are NOT aloud to chain to/over tracks.

[@schottelbootgmdetroitdiese9601]

I live at the wrong world :-) like bigs trucks and the sound and smell. thanks for the vid.

[@shawnthomas314]

Love the Pete anything trucking is cool

[@johnnybgoode6466]

All in the family ! - great work again Clint. The sales yards appear to be massive from this and earlier videos you have uploaded. Cool stuff

[@jeffmentzer9186]

Hey Clint, another awesome video! You made my Friday! As always thank you for bringing us along on your adventure buddy!!!

[@danielpullum1907]

That shop truck sounds absolutely ferocious. That 350 is a beast. Few "civilians" understand or care what truckers are faced with in controlling their trucks and the loads. Emergency stops have to be damn scary. Great video.

[@alanbierhoff6831]

I always enjoy C&C Heavy Haul videos 👍🏻

[@markkenes4848]

Is that the excavator I won !!!!! Boy can't wait to get it 😂😂😂😂😂

[@kerrygleeson4409]

Thanks for sharing guys 🦘

[@liamterry5301]

You could tell how focused you where once you got on the road with that. Pretty awesome. 😎 You showed the exit on 70 my house is on lol. Keep up the good work! Oh and can't wait for my new tools! LMBO 😆😂😆

[@1TEDSong]

I like the road trips. Learning a lot. Thank you.

[@Jeremy-de2of]

Awesome video love the big blue Pete

[@anthonybarrett2342]

I love the sound of the Peterbilt,even if it's working it always sounds happy.

[@Chilly383]

Great video

[@korhing1066]

Smart Move knot to Involve Kevin The Move Looked Pretty Smooth

[@johnweatherford5760]

Your 389 is really sharp.

[@artagain8977]

Great video. This is the guy I don’t want to be behind when I take my 32 coupe out for a Sunday drive ;)

[@Jammer.1]

Officer Hoover will give you one hell a run-down too !

[@bob-bf3ru]

enjoy all of the equipment moves and repair of same

[@kathyhelton2606]

bring back memories when mike drove over the road hauling steel and lumber

[@randyadams7269]

Both trucks look great, run better. Thanks

[@toddb8479]

Loving the exhaust music of both trucks. The Kitty Cat handled the hill in Nashville like a train on flat rails.

[@Thrash155]

I'm surprised you don't have a pusher axle on the Power Unit to help with weight distribution. Good Stuff Clint.

[@jamesashley3827]

Thanks

[@dansnider960]

Good job, great equipment, fantastic show

[@matthewsmith9624]

WOW! 116KLBS gross your a real heavy hauler!!!😆😆😆😆

[@jcmathisiii6432]

I've said it before & I'll say it again, your Rig is a Stud Clint! Hammer down.

[@melvincapps5975]

Enjoy the ride I'm glad you were driving though

[@davidperry970]

Like the content & great job editing. Clinton you really have your game face on when hauling with big blue.
