I haven't been on the edge of my seat like this since Die Hard. Story telling at its best.

If I could give this two thumbs up, I would. An entertaining intro, and good fast paced footage of Oilfield Life set to beats - one of your best ones yet 👌🏼

Very nice production! Seen gas f& oil field development from landowner end. This is different. Dad told me if it was still moving at all to keep your foot in it. Granddad had a retired winch truck and used it and explosives to clear southern Illinois fruit orchards years and years ago. Trucks Rule. Good operators, too. Stay frosty.

RE: Your title. Ray Gagnon built what was purported to be the largest road legal truck in the early 1980's in Leduc. It was a twin steer, 8x8 with a V12 Detroit and Allison automatic. Double fully hydraulic winches to boot. This of course was all new at the time, twin steers really didn't hit the scene until the mid to late 80's. I swamped on this truck a couple of times and it was impressive for it's time. Riding in it sounded like you were riding the bus in Edmonton, and the hood was so long you could have a dance on it. The hydraulic winches and automatic transmission made that thing operate so smoothly. Now of course this is all common, but at the time it was quite the sight.

It was great to see you get to do some on site work for a change. Hope you enjoyed it.

I like this video!!...a lot of action. You guys are very efficient moving stuff around.

having done this in the 70,s love your music and contents.

Man, I’ve seen all your videos, some multiple times! This is your best one yet! Nailed it

Jerrold, Thanks for the AWESOME video, on how a drilling tower is put together! It was Captivating! WOW.

Thats a big ass bed truck! its amazing how many trucks come on and off a lease during a rig move .

loved this one. great job!!!😁

That was a very interesting video i love the rig setting up never realized how big the set up has to be to work the oil 👍

This was great, could have seriously kept watching more. Like a perfectly orchestrated ballet of cables and winches on flatbeds. Awesome editing for sure. Stay safe out there. Sidenote; I'm down in Tennessee so I have no friggin clue what roads are where 😂

Great video good job.😀😀

Older vertical drill rigs using drill mud mixed with water. One-quarter lease area used for surface pit and sump pit. Good cat operator could make work easier by ripping trenches around sub structure (bottom of rig). Layout rig mats first (pucker truck). Two mud tank set in place by bed truck. Sub set in place with bed truck. Ramp to set draw work on top of sub (moved again bed truck). Bed truck driver worked but off on rig move! Winch truck driver hauled loads between leases. Very good bed truck drivers moved derick mast between leases. Picker truck top pecking order.

Nice to see how everything gets set up. Nice job

YOU!!! are very entertaining 😂

You guys are like rock stars

just let me fill out my two log book,...opps 😂😅

Brother I just found and within 30seconds subscribed, bad ass and entertaining, I run w900 straight pipe coal blaster drop deck low boy NY love what I do but this is whole different animal, keep up the noise and be safe man !

Now that was differant...good start ,content, and finish..lot o work getin that rig to fit together and thats a steep ramp for the heavy truck to get up with the tower, or did you have to pull from other side ?? Im impressed..

👍👍

Whaddya mean you didn't turn left at Albuquerque? Where are you now? OMAHA?!?!

As a frac sand hauler with 12 yrs in the patch, I knew exactly where you were at. Lol Although I have zero experience with your heavy haul truck, i watched you recent video about moving the 36" pipe in Fernie up the 38% grade, i noticed you had two shifters, one for the tranny and the other you called the differential selector or something like that, what exactly does it do and control? As a class 1 driver for over 10 yrs, I almost feel dumb for asking but i have literally zero experience with the heavy haulers.

Your shop in Blackfalds, is it across the street from the old Source Energy and Rentals?

They still use tail chain on the winch line in Canada? No safety concerns? It was changed years ago in Australia.

are most of the rigs the same so you know where all the different modules go

It almost seems like there is no method to the madness. Bring from point A to point B, drop it off and then 5 minutes later pick it back up the item, you just dropped off, and move it

FIN

Hey what's the difference between your c500 and a w900?

Long day.......

Great video's! I know exactly where you went. Im going into that area tomorrow and have been in there numerous times :) my Sunchild, O'Chese methanol run :)

You know I am one of those people that whats to know everything, but will forget what I am told two seconds later! You need to start putting subtitles in below on loads so we know what the thing is! Not necessarily on obvious stuff (racks loaded with pipe, etc.), but some of us know nothing about 'oil field shit' and are clueless as to what you are hauling most of the time! So here is first question; Are these drill rigs 'directional'? Can they send the boring head off in different directions, and if so? How does the 'pump jack' work to get the oil up? The first thing is the trucking, but it would be cool to know the rest of the story too!
