Good morning Doug. You said in the intro you had already seen this so you were going fishing but we all know you had lived it, filmed it, and edited it. So you deserved to go fishing to relax while we enjoyed all of your hard work with you and your teams. Safe travels out there and try to keep the four wheelers from ruining your day. Love seeing your driving skills with the large loads.

Such a joy to watch the coordination of the trucks, your team, local law enforcement, utilities if needed, and road construction crews. I'm sure it doesn't always work smooth, but I hope that's the rare exception.

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

Surprising that it works as well as it does actually. Sometimes we look like a well oiled machine but the truth is we switch out team members almost every day for different reasons. But we come together and still manage to get it done. Of course sometimes you get a new team member who isn’t up to par but the bad ones only make you appreciate the good ones!

[@stevenjp7155]

You must have fantastic spatial talent and skills! Did you try it out and were like, “Hey, I’m good at this and did it without loosing my nerve!” I don’t know how you do it! Love your stuff

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

I dabble in a bit of everything. I actually hold a commercial pilots license. After you’ve been lost in a thunderstorm with low fuel at night there’s not much on the ground that is scary! It might sound far fetched but the two jobs have similarities. Attention to detail, cool nerves, trip planning, navigating, radio communications it’s all kinda the same in a way!

[@pourquoiunidentifiant]

you really look like a guy who have the best job in the world ! If its what you think you have, it is what you have ! so many challenges of all sizes You just cant get bored doing that. Large expeditions in a quest to deliver something precious to someone, fighting low cables and branches instead of orcs and giants, finding ways to deal with the crazy administrative sh*** instead of a level boss, your biggest ennemy, the uneven terrain always ready to strangle you somewhere in a sharp turn or a too angled slope. watching the air and the ground for potential troubles and everything. thats an adventure in wich you have the chance to be the hero and we the public have the chance to see. Hope you got a bunch of good fishes in that fishing trip.

[@fredfrengs6817]

learning a great deal. How and where do you refuel?

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

A big part of these move is what you don’t see on camera. The trip planning. Because we have a specific route to follow and because these trucks are too big for some truck stops it can be a challenge. A lot of times we will disconnect at a rest area and bobtail to the nearest truckstop for fuel.

[@brett2618]

Makes hauling yougart from Los Angeles to Phoenix look easy😅

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

Well if you’re hauling yogurt from Los Angeles to Phoenix in a non refrigerated trailer and have a wager going with a mob boss about if you can make it before the load goes sour… you might just have a good video there!

[@brett2618]

Reefer all the way. Phoenix gets up to 120F I n the summer. Broke down once no fun without the AC

[@brett2618]

Lol 😂

[@BarbaraGarwell]

Just starting to watch the video, and I'm really impressed. Escort and police vehicles on the ground and F-18s in the sky. Go for it😅. The part where the guy in black is touching the part of the gooseneck, loved the maroon/purple car, fell in love with it, but couldn't he just wait? So three in convoy. Sounds like Rubber Duck 10-4😅😅😅. Can't believe the idiot, who is a fellow truck driver, forcing his way through on the inside of you

[@janislaimite9351]

curious as to how you fuel up with loads that size

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

A lot of times it means detaching the trailer and bobtailing to the pumps for fuel. Sometimes we can’t even fit in the truckstop at all so we detach at a rest area.

[@danielpullum1907]

22:00 min certainly shows how you earn your keep!!!!! What a jam. It might seem like everyone in the world is in a tizzy. The four wheelers just don't get it...

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

Yeah I’ve learned to block it all out and focus on what needs to be done and just take the time to do it right. Slow is fast. If you panic and get in a rush you will probably break something. Thanks for watching ✌️

[@lloydedwards8038]

I gotta say Doug that you had better be careful or someone might think you know what you are doing Lol. All seriousness guy you do a hell of a job and sometimes yes as we both know you have to be very patient. This job is not for everyone unfortunately some companies and drivers think it is and that makes for a lot of problems in the industry. Go catch a big one and have a great pan fry.

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

All the positive comments are what keeps me going! Thank you 😊

[@jaquigreenlees]

So, why do you have the teams run so far apart when you are starting and finishing at the same places?

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

Often oversize loads are not technically allowed to run close together. They prefer we disrupt traffic for numerous short periods of time. The trucks were no more than 15 minutes apart for the majority of the trip.

[@bobderemer5015]

Also has less issues with radio bleedover and each load has their own time to manipulate obstacles I imagine.

[@jaquigreenlees]

@@bobderemer5015 making sure the teams have distinct channels would clear any radio issues. although the separate channels also detracts from the benefits of the teams being together.

[@bobderemer5015]

How do you like the automatic compared to the Eaton manual?

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

Pros and cons to everything. I’m not ready to say I prefer the automatic. But so far it’s getting the job done. I haven’t had much opportunity to test it with real weight like with a 13 axle

2 questions pour toi Daniel...Pourquoi quittez vous l.autoroute pour prendre une route ordinnaire? et l'autre question...pourquoi n'as tu pas des miroirs extensibles qui te permettrais de voir vers l'arrière du tranformateur ?...car j'ai escorté pendant un été des maisons mobiles de 14 ' de large et mon patron ou un autre camion avait des miroirs extensibles....en passant ..on t'endend de loin dans ton camion......et Bravo..j,adore tes vidéos 😉

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

Merci pour les commentaires! #1 les deux raisons principale pour quitter l’autoroute est l’hauteur libre des viaducs et aussi pour les zones de construction avec largeur réduit. #2 je utilise souvent des mirrors extensibles en vrai largeur. Ils sont justement présent dans cet vidéo. Mais non je les utilise pas pour une petit voyage de 12’ #3 oui je le sais pour le qualité de son. Je vais intégré une micro dans les futurs projets.

IF I were a customer, In very rough numbers, what would a haul like that cost with all permits, police, pilot cars, etc.? (Acknowledging the competition and probable cost variations between them).

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

I really couldn’t tell you. As a driver I’m not privileged to that info. Even rough numbers

[@jaquigreenlees]

It's doubtful even if Douglas had the numbers that his boss would be happy with them being made public. you can always ask your local police what they would charge for the escort of a load, then you will get an idea.

[@Jens.M]

Why don't you use a trailer with steering axels for such a long load?

[@luckybananaheavyhaul3407]

Because the office staff calculated that steering axles were not necessary 👎. A steerable trailer is heavier and often puts the permits into a different category requiring police escorts ect… it’s all about $$$
