Heavy haul trucker | RGN lowboy moving CAT excavator through downtown HOUSTON

[@MrJohnnyScrabble]

Just a tip for ya man. When you put a chain/binder on the tracks like that, avoid putting it in an area where 2 track sections meet like you did with that 1st binder. @10:21. You see how it pulled the sections apart? If that binder were to slip or the excavator settle, that hook could wind up in the gap and possibly break through, now you have an unsecured load. Not to mention, DOT doesn't like it either. Please take this as constructive criticism. People taught me, just passing on some knowledge from one driver to another. Be safe out there, sir.

[@hiikm1889]

Johnny K True I was just thinking about that

[@Grtruckingdemolitionllc]

Thanks for the tip/advice. I appreciate for commenting in a good way. 🤝

[@erikclark403]

Man I had a driver bitch at me over the CB for not using chains to tie down and I do it the same way that he does. Saying I'm get a ticket if dot catches me but I passed by dot tied downlike that and I've never had a problem

How could they even use that thing, pins and bushing on that bucket dang, bought ready to fall off. Billions of hours and no maintenance.

[@tyree3798]

I like the fact that you have old equipment but yet you still treat it with a lot of respect. I enjoy watching your videos. Nice job in representing our industry

[@stevesmith-wc2gb]

I love how the trailer has them flashing lights on it

[@shawnlamoureux4267]

Nice interior red light inside of the cab. And the truck sounds good

[@adamskelton1544]

Awesome to see all the truly constructive tips and criticism on this channel and you taking them very well. Too many "know-it-alls" in the world nowadays and you sir along with your viewers are a healthy change of pace from those people. Keep up the awesome content!

[@seal5215]

Yes INDEED!!! I couldn't agree more.

[@al-Bismillah]

I like counting while seeing you shift through the gears, especially from low to high. Also, the air pull on the exhaust while up-shifting is a magnificent sound as well. Everything about the video was great. The slow sunset, the rear-view of the lowboy, the jake brake, etc. #dieselallday

[@logan.v2722]

kookaburra same bro I just love construction and the sound if semis when they first takes off it sounds amazing👍🏼

[@brandonheimer1924]

You need to put a cover over the exhaust pipe of the machine or turn the cab of the machine the other way so that the wind don’t get in the exhaust and turn the turbo. It can lead to ruining the turbo because you don’t have the oil flow to lubricate the turbo while it’s spinning.

[@petereyre5188]

Rig sounds amazing. Great cam angles, the rear view really shows the width and proximity of the ramps to the load 👏👏👏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@raqueljoya]

I am currently training to broker Heavy Haul and for some reason watching ur vid and seeing the “Be Someone” and the Houston skyline put a smile on my face.

[@Grtruckingdemolitionllc]

They need to bring back the BE SOMEONE graffiti

Diesel was $1.99 at the time of this video now diesel cost $6-7 a gallon, it cost over 3x as much for fuel.

[@austinlayte7338]

nice load i helped haul a 70 tonne excavator yesterday

[@Mjc103]

Wow the pins in that bucket are toast! Just another little tip. Carry I rubber boot and shove it in the exhaust pipe of the excavator it will save the turbo.

[@Grtruckingdemolitionllc]

Not sure how the operators do the work with those terrible pins, your the second person that mentions that. Will have to do research have never seen or known about covering the exhaust pipe. Is there a reason to do it ? Lots of people I see on the highway don’t cover them

[@jono7597]

Grtruckingdemolition I cover the exhaust on my quad trac tractor when I haul it as when I started hauling it, that what I was told to do. I’ve heard it matters, and I’ve heard it doesn’t. So, its up to you.

[@macnorman]

The breeze passing by the exhaust stack can cause the turbo to windmill and spin. With the motor off and no lubrication available bearings will be damaged and shorten its life.

[@fleetwood7941]

You should get half-fenders for your drive axles so that rocks and debris don’t peck-up the back of your sleeper

[@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03]

Awwww yeah. On the highway windows down with the Jake on. Oh yeah. 🤘🏼

[@lavishd.4347]

I wanted to drive a truck when I was young but there's no way I'm cut out for it....How do you make those turns with other cars coming the other way? what if the brakes go out? couldn't imagine going over a freeway transition ramp way up in the air 😶 I get chills just watching this video...much respect!!!!

[@JutwaPlay]

wow nice view from the camera on back and front

It was cool to see you coasting through downtown Houston, TX by the Allen Center. I remember staying at the C. Baldwin, Curio Collection by Hilton Hotel. Beautiful views with awesome sun rises and sunsets.

[@tbss_vince2191]

Just a word of advice... when you're chaining and binding a machine... should do after you reconnect the detach... usually doing it before you reattach will cause everything to loosen up and you have to go back a redo it ... especially on the heavier machines.... always check before you start your route ofcourse... but sometimes it's just alot easier to do it that way ! Be safe and good job brother! Watch out for the idiots... a lady pulled out in front of me in 2016 and ended my heavy haul career of 22 years because she was trying to beat a red light !

[@DansVlog]

On your next picture in picture, here is what I do to make the small view pop and look more pro... Instead of putting the video on the 2nd row in your timeline, put it on the 3rd row and put a colored picture on the 2nd row. (Google black or green or red background and save it as a picture (whatever color you want)). Now shrink your colored picture on row 2 to just a little bigger than the shrunk down video on row 3 and obviously, line the shrunk vid on top of the shrunk colored picture and center it up! Boom! Instant color border to seperate the 2 videos. You can thank me with a shout out!! LOL Really enjoying watching your channel grow (and your skills)

[@Grtruckingdemolitionllc]

Might try it out later, it already has a border when I edit, but like how it looks without it lol

[@robandnell4305]

I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about, but I want to improve pics of my husband's trucking videos. I checked out your channels and your pictures are sharp and very clear--must have much better equipment than we can afford. I subscribed to your channel, so as soon as I get the next video up I'll dig into your channel and see what I can learn. Thanks for sharing. I use Davinci Resolve 16--the free version.

[@drichards275]

What about adding some rear fenders to the truck whether quarter fenders or half’s?. Thing would be sharp and keep the mud off the paint and such.

[@al-Bismillah]

It maybe a little unusual, but, have you ever considered doing an ASMR video using your Kenworth? It could literally be damn near anything related to the truck while still having fun and exercising your truck driving skills. Something to think about - possibly that is.

[@oscarroa3618]

[@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03]

Damn Mercedes driver switched lanes real close to ya. Hate when people do that. If too close I’ll bare the horn. Happens a lot people gotta make sure they have room to switch lanes.

[@Grtruckingdemolitionllc]

Man every day have idiots brake check me or not pay attention SMH. When I have to open wide to turn dumb ass people still try to go.

[@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03]

Grtruckingdemolition had a young woman in her Nissan turn into my lane right in front of me on the highway was going 65mph down hill almost goin under the bridge. She was real close I could of tore her rear bumper off. This was 2 years ago in the heavy haul truck. Big W900L... would of done a lot of damage lol. Here’s another thing, the lowboy truck I’ll drive, (01 W900 long truck because has lift axle) it pulls a real long brand new Fontaine Lowboy with a flipable fourth axle. (3 axles has a 4th that can flip up). I have to turn real wide with that big guy. People will go and the end of the trailer be close to the front of their cars when they turn. Sometimes the end of the trailer will be a very little bit in there lane, and my front right or left tire will be on the curb. The truck can be a high truck also so it’s good for it. Has air bags can be lowered or raised same with the trailer height. The truck hauls really large heavy excavators loaders etc. we have a Jeep for it. 2 jeeps... makes it super long trailer! When big vehicles are in the road around little cars, the car drivers have to pay attention! I know man. They should think of what it can do to them lol. Us too gotta pay attention but it’s the car drivers that need to be most cautious when a big vehicle is on em. Stay safe man enjoy the videos. Your T800 came along way... think about tuning the engine? Maybe 600hp tune? Real good for your heavy hauling. I remember you saying it has 475? That’s not bad. Caterpillar engines are the best. Can be the lowest powered Semi truck Caterpillar motor and itll still get the job done.

Do you clean the tracks off for a Street requirement or do you just do it to keep your trailer clean?

[@Grtruckingdemolitionllc]

If you don’t clean them you will have lots of dirt/mud fall on the street/highway. Can brake someone’s windshield and get a ticket.

David Rigoni It’s supposed to prevent turbos from spinning without oil when air goes through the exhaust when it’s on the trailer

We us em all the time, will burn out the bearings on the turbo's spinning backwards without any lubrication from the engine running
