SPECIAL BONUS RULE #8: "The weight and dimensions are always wrong."

[@gL0be1000]

Or they send you blueprints for a refrigerator instead of a John Deere 9630

[@theGovnr1]

Rule #1 if load is COD, always confirm total amount owed by reciever before arrival and never unload till paid in full!

[@ghavila1766]

The chains stay on until you pay me.

[@williamdegnan4718]

If you deadhead home, on arrival, you'll find a load where you left?

[@HHTV60]

yeah, that's correct. so, Rule #9 is, "never check the load board for the loads available in the city you left behind." ;)

[@750VFR]

I started smiling before you began to tell us the 7 Rules, I must've anticipated the rules were going to be so, so true 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿.

[@pw603]

Good rules Sergei, but I would say they apply to the whole trucking industry in general, as I don't do heavy haul and have ran into most of these issues .

[@beermaker411]

Just love watching your videos!!👍 I've learned a lot about your type of trucking watching you.

[@nickwilliam78]

You're a great man Sergei!! I just passed my CDL and hitting the road next week!!! I'm taking everything in now

[@bogdanstepien7897]

Thank you for all your videos. Very real. Educational and informative. Thanx much.

[@thomas-allen]

I'm not going to drive a heavy haul truck but I like watching your channel.

1. Become a "in-house" carrier for Canada based heavy equipment dealer. 2. Brokers make you broker. 3. Become "in-house" carrier of Canada based heavy machinery manufacturer. 4 .Put on salesman hat and get away from brokers. 5. While dealing with brokers, call brokers where you want to go, not where you're at. (when I was with Landstar, in California...I called agent in St Louis, Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Rockford. In Texas...I called Pittsburgh, Columbus OH, and NJ. In Washington...I called Salt Lake City. Etc).

[@254inc3]

I was very nice meeting you at TA I hope you get better soon from the cold flu.

[@carychurchill733]

Hi Sergei, No interest in doing Heavy Haul, but I sure like those rules. Keep those video's coming.

[@stevenandrews6627]

Perhaps a more accurate title for this segment would "The Seven(7) realities of Heavy Haul. Regardless of what you call them......they are sooooo true!!!!!

[@hutch8556]

Brokers seem to be the central problem Sergei! I was fortunate enough to deal with my customers directly and had enough problems but it doesn’t seem to work that way in North America . I hope your perseverance is rewarded soon:).

[@RoyWymss]

Serg, You forgot most immportant number 8. Must have patience....

[@davidanddiana7173]

Cool movie Sergei 🍿

[@weathforjr]

Spasibo Tovarisch!

[@krisbarnes1223]

This is golden. thanks for video and Its sad that this is the truth and it makes me smile ....

[@davidschabel4664]

You speak the truth,pull toy here.

[@lesforster841]

I would call these observations rather than rules, sorry Captain. Love all your videos Sergei, stay safe.

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Wisdom based on experience. 👍

[@HHTV60]

that's right. despite the humor, all these rules are based on my own experiences. this is the real stuff you have to deal with as trucker.

[@phillipwalls5655]

I’m never stuck anywhere with my RGN because I always load the Jeep and dead dead home even if I am pulling just a three axle lowboy either Portland Oregon or LA., Cali I come back to Mississippi too reload and the rates are high enough too do that

[@jermainechandler4937]

Phillip Walls so what do u do with the jeep?

[@Acts238Church]

I like the sense of humor here,

[@N30312]

Hello Sergei, Wonderful videos!! Could you tell me what RGN stands for?

[@waltermattson5566]

Removable goose neck trailer I think.

[@theroadnottaken9378]

5a and 5b.

[@rodneystewart8958]

Captain Sergei what are your thoughts on a tri axle step deck for a entryway into heavy haul

[@HHTV60]

that's exactly what I did - I bought a 3 axle step deck, in order to get experience with heavy and oversize loads.

[@randyhale4181]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@GoodDayFarm]

Truth!

[@robertbradford2734]

Stay on your toes or they'll hit you over the head every time!

[@heavyhauler7808]

100% True!!!

[@nexit3360]

by Nooteboom or Broshuis de best

[@docholiday1034]

😂😂☃️💴 you sure are entertaining . Love the rule. Always have the wrong trailer...👍👍

[@HHTV60]

yep. this week and the last I missed 5 or 6 loads, because brokers al wanted more than 26 feet in the well. I caught one of them in the lie after I insisted on pictures of the load, and we both learned (surprisingly for the broker) that this machine would actually fit in my 26 ft well. the only reason I had to pass on the load is because it was 1400 miles away and pay regular rate on 500 miles to Canada.

[@docholiday1034]

Sergei Dratchev Heavy Haul Never have trusted brokers much in my 45 years doing this. Weight they always lie....before richies bros... i held a few loads hostage till they corrected weight or size and rate....Good luck...its cold as a sob up here in north country....👍👍👍👍☃️

[@JuanRempel]

Truth

[@EvelynMcLeach]

Overall Rule: Is ALWAYS a mess. And the driver is right in the middle of it.

[@gregprince2523]

don't forget.... we the driver is always at fault on the bad stuff and can never ever ever take credit for the good stuff 😉

[@markusmayer7956]

😂🤣😂 These rules are awesome. Even more so if you’ve been following Sergei for a while.

[@bogdanstepien7897]

Lol. I love it !!!

[@blobby273]

make sure they pay you before you unload . if they refuse then go dump the load in a truck stop $300 short of the delivery point .

[@chuckychuck]

👍👍👍👍

[@gregory2622]

😎👍👍

[@ehsnils]

This is when it's time for a Douglas Adams quote: “There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable."

[@phantomxter]

two #5's

[@ARUNKLEZAT]

Mantap🖒🖒😍🖒😍❤😍❤😍❤😍

[@justwondering786]

Rule #8. Put all your rules on the right forms , and you are right even with all the rules on the right forms they are still complicated ! Lmao 🤣

[@AuctionIndiana]

🚛👍🎥

[@KeepingitAnalog]

You mean to tell me there are actually people who want to work in heavy haul? A dry van is where it's at man.

[@HHTV60]

dry van is step 2. first you need to get experience in heavy haul. they won't hire you without previous heavy haul experience. you're on the right track!

[@konectorenterprise5387]

The same strategy these broker use on the heavy haul guys is the same as they use on the flatbed guys!!!!

[@davidrigoni8231]

#9? Recollections of previous videos? Broker has no idea what the machine actually is and/or all excavators, tractors... are the same size

[@bengtabelsson9727]

The seven rules of SD are WAY too optimistic

[@BerraLJ]

Then i would only deliver 70% of the load :)

[@larrysoma934]

Is it time for an GoFundMe titled.. GetSergeiHome 😀😎

[@ThePeterbiltrucker]

My favorites are, what about FSC? It’s in the rate, Permits and tolls? It’s in the rate, forced layover, hummmm it’s in the rate Most brokers are scum ,

[@hd93scooter]

😂🙃🙃🤣

[@chulkjoung5148]

😁 lol

[@paulsommerhalder9049]

This international Cartage rule forcing you back into Canada is wasteful. On the other hand, I just watched a video from an Expeditor team that deadheaded 525 miles and acted like it was normal....and maybe it-is.

[@KB-gs8zi]

Sir ""Captain"" Sergei !!! You have been in this business a long time & have fallen into the issues that you now have as ''Rules"" for everybody to understand & Good that you are still able to maintain your ''Sanity" when dealing with the ""Brokers""& Permit Companies"" !! That MA. ticket was just 1 of the issues you had with the ''Wrong "' Permits!! That #7 rule?? Don't you get a trans-script from the Broker on the amount for the ''COD"" from the Customer as to the full payment ??""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!!
