Stingers and jeeps and all-sorts. The trouble with Baltimore, Newark, Wilmington and the like is that they were never constructed with rigs of this length in mind. I used to be in and out of all the East Coast ports supervising guys like yourselves and it never failed to amaze me how you guys got in with your export loads and out with the imports. All those Jersey barricades put there to direct traffic were an absolute nightmare for an 8-axle let alone what you guys pilot. Great work, boys and girls.

You are very correct. Unfortunately some of the newer construction still doesn’t take into scout the larger trucks on the road these days. Round abouts are getting more popular in North America and they are a nightmare for oversize drivers.

Strange to see the difference. Here in Denmark/ Europe, such a load would be transported on a bit shorter trailer. We don’t have this kind of trailer set up. Our trailers have hydraulic rear steer, so cornering is much easier. Oh and most heavy hauling trailers also have hydraulic height adjustment. But the downside is, much more parts can break/fail.

I’m not going to lie. North America is way behind the rest of the world when it comes to road construction and transport. Steerable trailers do exist here however the companies have not yet accepted to cost of them. The mentality is the cheaper old style still gets the job done. And our road engineers have not yet figured out how to accept shorter trailers. They want the weight spread out as much as possible. Often my trailer is required to be even longer than the load just because it is required on the permits. It can definitely be more complicated to drive but that’s why I’m paid the big bucks 🤣

This was very interesting to watch and also to follow along on Google Maps, pinpointing the intersections using visual clues in your video. When you need to cross a railway track, is it possible to arrange with the railroad an exclusive-occupancy permit for the relevant tracks so as to prevent getting hit by a train should you have become hung up on the tracks? (After you clear the tracks you would contact the railway again and cancel the occupancy permit.)

Depends on the sur constances. For example when turning sometimes the only way practical to get a break in the traffic is to go after the light turns red. We are very long and we move very slowly. Another example is if there is a turn light sensor in the road but we need to be in another lane to make the wide turn so we will never activate the sensor.

A little more information would be nice. Like how long to set up the trailer, what he was doing when he got out after the train tracks, stuff like that for us non truckers.

@@kb5019 it’s great to see the next generation getting interested. It can be a great career. The best part about trucking is there are so many different possibilities for different people. Some guys like to be home every night, others like to travel long distances. Some guys don’t mind a little physical work, other guys want the least physical work possible. Guys like me enjoy a challenge and other guys don’t want the stress. There is a trucking job for everyone and all companies are hiring! Thanks for watching 😊

Thanks! My father is a trucker so the basics were passed down to me but the rest is self taught. There is no school for oversize trucking. If your boss trusts you then they’ll give you a chance and if you don’t screw up then they’ll give you another lol.

I was always under the assumption that your pilot cars are supposed to be blocking traffic from interfering with your route.
@luckybananaheavyhaul3407

It is kind of a grey area. Some pilot car drivers take more more initiative than others. It is their job to help with the safe passage of the oversize truck however we don’t have priority over other traffic on the road. Personally I’m a pretty chill and relaxed driver. I let them do their thing as long as we are safe.

Yeah it goes in cycles. The regular OD loads get away with it until the cops have too many super loads to park and then they crack down on it again.

@davidbross6942 with the friction point of the clutch you get a better “feel” for the truck. Especially when you are trying not to slip a wheel when traction is limited. Often when doing things like hooking up a gooseneck I want to put pressure on the trailer without spinning. With an auto it is very hard to feel the friction point.

I’ve only watched this one. I like it but have many questions. Why does it need to be so long? Don’t need escorts in Canada? Power stats in your truck? Other than obvious questions what angers you the most doing this job?
@luckybananaheavyhaul3407
Жыл бұрын
The piece needs to go between the wheels for the height. We need all the wheels for the weight that’s why it’s so long. Canada required less escorts than the USA but I still had one following. That’s who you hear on the radio. What I dislike most about my job is what you can’t see. The inconsistency. These projects are mostly short term or even one time deals. We have a lot of down time between projects (we still work but it’s more general transport)
