HET (Heavy Equipment Transporter) Military Convoy / C.W. McCall

[@mschiffel1]

I went with the National Guard to Kuwait/Iraq with the 1452nd Trans Co. 4th Platoon, mostly Jersey boys and we all drove these HETTS...From 2004-05 we put on over 10,000 miles on these rigs through all kinds of weather and not so friendly areas....these trucks performed very well and we owe our lives to them.

[@mschiffel1]

all I can say is that Oshkosh really did their homework when they built this truck !!...we all owe our lives to them for getting us through many combat situations !!..these trucks took us through hell and brought us home with very few issues because they were new and because they were well made.

[@1grossetete]

Hell yes! Good video. I served in the 96 Trans. Co.(HET) out of Ft. Hood from '02-'03 and in Iraq. It was nice having a bed where ever you went. Good times.

[@1313madamefirefly1]

Proud 88m at Camp Minden Louisiana. I loved driving those big trucks.

[@reddstarr5971]

I had the pleasure of driving these for 2 years in Kuwait working as a contractor! 2005 & 2006!

[@jks967]

233d TC Ft Bliss/Ft.Knox. Miss hauling A1's, 109s, M3s, bridge layers, etc..... HEAVY TRUCK!!!!! These came in service at Ft Bliss in '94/'95 while I was there. Missed the ole 914/747s at first, but that didn't last long. The ULTIMATE DRIVING MACHINE! Take that BMW!

[@maxm2317]

That's a mighty fine truck ya got there.

[@johnnyjet3.1412]

largest convoy we had in the 1498th ( arabic writing on the sides of the hood) 96 HETs, I was in one of the lead trucks hauling a 73 ton armored D9, we scraped the bottom of three overpasses in Baghdad, and their overpasses are taller than ours

[@FromMaineNprd]

bad ass trucks with a bad ass song

[@KPearce57]

Started driving HETS in 1972,sure wish they were an nice as these.

[@1959hogryder]

This is Def . After my time in the Army { 79' - 86' } . We had the original M915 series { M915 thru M920 } assembled by AM General . The Oshkosh's at That time however , looked totally different .

[@libra593]

Thanks for the video, reminds me of my days in the 233 HET Platoon in Bliss & Irwin

[@GabeV12]

Crap, I knew I shouldn't have clicked "HET" on that Puzzle Room rip...

[@wildchild77x]

My stepdad used to drive these when he was stationed overseas....he said "if you think a regular semi hitting a car at 50 is bad, you should see what happens to a car hit by one of these" he showed me pictues of a car whose driver didnt understand that U.S. military vehicles dont follow stop signs... ever see a 4 door sedan reduced to the size of a kitchen table?

[@mschiffel1]

@dirtman902...we picked up our trucks at the docks in Doha, Kuwait. ..the average mileage on each truck was around 600 miles...almost brand new...we used and abused them for close to 14,000 miles during our tour...we were very rough on them...not by choice but that's what our missions dictated...the trucks never let us down...all we did was to blow out the air filters every couple of days...no grease or oil changes either...just flog them daily....constantly on the go. I'm too old to deploy now.

[@toddhall3710]

This is very true this video shows how good the us army is for there supply and there hard core drivers and they red always more don't worry the big fort drum of the Adirondack's love to drive these and we love bring supplies to our soldiers god bless america and our fort drum drivers hooha !!!

[@HomerInNC]

[@franklinwelfl8284]

[@mrbluenun]

Many thanks for this upload. take care mrbluenun

[@mrbobsshow]

Think of the effort it takes to get these and other pieces of Military equipment around the world we have the greatest armed forces in the world and I would personally like to thank the men and women of our armed forces for protecting freedom for the rest of us schmucks.

[@mschiffel1]

I drove these trucks through iraq and kuwait for 13 months in all kinds of weather...Our truck saved our lives by absorbing numerous hits from AK47s and grenades...Never had any mechanical issues...It was our home on the road...Very crowded inside with all of our gear...But dry when it rained ( not too often)......I was with the 42ID, 1452nd Transportation Co., 4th platoon. most of our platoon were from New Jersey, 2004 to 2005.

[@wonniewarrior]

the song is the theme song from 'Convoy' by C.W. McCall

[@goldmaz23]

[@n3d.studio]

[@KB1PTH]

[@clearingbaffles]

Should've put "Narrow Load" on them to mess with them; thinking we had BIGGER lol

[@KojiGaming]

God bless the U.S.A! Yee-Haw! If there are any military men viewing this comment, Thanks to all who put they're lives on the line for us to be able to rest our heads at night! I thank all of you!

[@ThePetar02]

[@digitalbob2000]

The scene at 3:55 looks familiar. (Ft. Hood?) I remember going down a steep hill to gain momentum to drive up the next steep hill, then a sudden left turn at the top.

[@yup703]

i liked the end very very nice..

[@floralspr1te]

Is it safe?

[@thissitesucks74]

That truck looks like you can haul an aircraft carrier with it!!!

[@tunedis95]

What a BEAST!

[@mow4ncry]

Top speed (unless you tweaked them) was 45 mph, now anyone can buy one. scary to think that someone who has never driven anything bigger than a mini truck can now be driving a M1070.

[@soberek]

Now THESE babies should be used for Smokey and the Bandit remake...

[@leavemynameout01]

Trying to find IED's there? Your trailer is in the dirt, plus you will be changing many tires that way.

[@NICKLADD]

nothing like a truck with a 420,000lb towing capacity

[@808TheDuck]

Are these trucks air conditioned for crew comfort as well as NBC cab pressurization??

[@pvp64]

Only this truck and trailer could make an Abrahms tank look mid size! lol

[@morganmarr1998]

"the gun went boom and his ass went zoom and the Mack turned outa site!"

[@NeilLB7]

If the Duck would of had this instead of the one stack Mack...he would have made it over that damn bridge.

[@siqbrah]

@bluebowtie01 The original HET uses a Detroit Diesel Engine, The new upgraded HET has a more powerful Caterpillar engine

[@Bobbrians]

[@EnergyReturnWheel]

ERW high speed airless military will provide double digit efficiency improvement for logistics, is bullit and blast resistant plus reduces the need for flat tire changes. The ERW ban is bad policy for our troops.

[@ESPsplit]

Je ne connais rien à la guerre,Quouid?

[@toddhall3710]

Yes sir I saw a slot car trucking road race race track and its from Tyco I want it so bad for real why some times we get big rig fever l

[@maffdiva]

Im in the Australian Army and i move the Abrams tanks around. Problem is we didnt get these trucks because they arent compliant for our roads so we got some piece of shit MAN that cant be taken off road. Its ok for the highways but we cant use the trailers off road either.

[@adrianeverett7168]

Convoy (Movie Version) Song

[@Eagletravelandtours]

The military division of oshkosh does not sell to cillvilians becasue the vehicles do not meet the DOT EPA regulations the military is exempt from those laws and you would not be able to lisensce it if you did obtain one because of the epa laws

@mschiffel1 better be glad you arent with the 1452nd this deployment cause you wouldnt be so lucky. The trucks we fell in on this time were the biggest pieces of junk we have ever seen.over 25 % of the fleet sat on dead line row for! when we turned them in ( last week) we had to tow them to the TPE yard! most of them are so bad of shape that they are sending them to be crushed!

[@toddhall3710]
