Hello Doug. Great job as always. I remember you saying just how much you enjoyed that amount of trailer cheat during a turn. 4 wheelers were showing their ass on Jefferson. When you pulled the trailer out of that hole turning left, that would have gotten my attention pretty darn quick. I dislike having trailers at that angle immensely. Probably the amount of time under a beam. At least you didn't have to execute a MI Left. Have a good day.

That 122 feet is a little bit longer than what we have in Finland without any special permits which 34.5 meters or ~113 feet but that's on a multiple articulation points, not just a single semi-trailer. I regularly pull a High Capacity Transport with two sea container trailers and a dolly in between those two trailers. Max weight is 76 tonnes (metric) so hauling two 40' or two 45' containers is no problem usually, unless it's winter of course and that doesn't even reach the max length because we have cabover trucks. Cheers from Finland!

Love how everyone else is mostly courteous especially other truckers. I was about to get up to a T - intersection and Noticed a semi truck. Soon as I seen 10ft of his trailer I knew he had a long load. So I stopped in my lane plenty far back. As soon as the big rig made 80% of his corner the idiot behind me tried going around. He ended up having to back up behind me to let the trucker through. I wish more truckers were courteous too. On my lunch break an idiot semi trucker sped up through an intersection and didnt even try to slow down and move over to let an ambulance past blaring lights and sirens. Another story I was fallowing a semi truck home from work, he noticed me tailing him for about 7-10 minutes. He actually pulled over in a stop sign intersection to let me pass him.

@MrThisIsMeToo10 ай бұрын
Mr Banana did not mention it but it appears that the truss was about 12' wide / tall or more. At the length it was you will never find a trailer that is not going to put it as least 2.5' or 3' high resulting in a load 15' tall. Lot easier to transport a 12' wide load then a 15' tall one due to bridges.

I thought about this also. There are trailers that have a drop in the very center for moving concrete/prefab walls, large panes of glass, etc which would have added about 15' of length to the trailer and but has the advantage of centering the load. At that point, the added length may have been more of an issue than the width. Unfortunately I don't believe they make stretch versions of them anyway, so it's like knowing how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie roll pop.

I'm slightly impressed they let you film their new site. Some of those big OEMs do NOT like cameras anywhere near their business even when they're just breaking ground, never mind driving through the jobsite.

Your camera is focusing on the hood instead of down the road. Mount it higher if possible? Otherwise, great work driving such a long load!

You would have had less trouble if you only stretched out to 80 ft

It would’ve turned better! But the permits are all pre ordered and I gotta work with what the people upstairs figured out

you mentioned your dad got surprised by a construction site: how'd he make it by eventually?

The same way we did!

WOW that's a long load would be better if you have steerable wheels in back.

Why did you have to take a ferry instead of the bridge?
@luckybananaheavyhaul340710 ай бұрын
@paulbuck683 construction on the bridges right now. Oversize loads are restricted.

Ok thanks. I don’t go that way. I pretty much do east coast

The last company I worked for we drove more often to the west coast. I’ve been to every state except New Mexico including Alaska and Hawaii (on vacation 🤣)
