Another good one! Thanks. With all those escorts you had quite an entourage. The loading and the backup/scale segments were a great bonus. Thanks for including them.

Lord, brother, I’m seriously glad you are driving that thing and not me. Good stuff!

A good view of the collapsed Baltimore bridge

Highest level of professionalism. Well done!!

My 9th great grandfather, Samuel Erwin was one of the founders of Painted Post, New York. This is the first time I have ever seen any video of the village. Thank you for that!

Canadian here. I worked for a Cat dealer ub B.C. loading and unloading equipment on rail cars and trucks, then got into operating equipment. Enjoyed the ride and commentary. Nice truck too!

Very nicely done sir! People don't realize how much knowledge you need to do this type of job. Many people just think 'oh, truck driver', and don't appreciate the years of learning that goes into handling this type of freight. Keep on truckin'!

Thanks for all the technical explanations. Not a trucker, just stumbled on this, but love learning about what goes into hauling things like this.

That part of 83 brings back a lot of memories

I understand the logic riding the left lane to avoid dealing with merging traffic. Nice job as always and safe trips

It was a pleasure to watch a cool hand at the controls. Thanks for taking us along.

Can't wait to see your new truck in action 🎉

Good old NY! Infinite wisdom at work. Nothing like taxing the heck out of the local roads in order to collect a toll from you for the highway use.

I think your permit people have a very good relationship with everyone involved coming from US to Canada

And another enjoyable ride-alone with you. I appreciate your descriptions of how the rig is set up...... that's quite a complex piece of machinery. And of course great editing by you as always. Thank you. 👍

When you leave Dundalk Marine Terminal at night with your escort rolling up Dundalk Ave. do me a favor once you pass the McDonald's on your left don't use your Jake Brake I live in the apartments on the right just after the funeral parlor... I'm just being a smart-ass retired truck driver, be safe my friend.

Awesome Doug.....great videos.....thanks again....👍🇨🇦

Another great video. Thanks for sharing the trip with us.

Well done, your patience is remarkable and necessary for what you do. Thanks for another great video.

Thought I saw an Earl Paddock truck while you were loading. The shout-out confirmed it. I grew up in the Niagara Falls area but live in Western Canada now. Can't believe some of the streets you have to drive with that unit. I'm used to all the over size routes we have in Alberta. I've pulled a tandem jeep with a tri axle low bed and that was stressful enough. You make that big unit look easy. I know it's not.

That looks like a beast, Doug. Safe trip!

Thanks for sharing your trip!

Great job with the drone camera 😎

Nice video. Enjoyed watching you handle your truck.

Awesome video. I was just gonna ask about the track tighteners, and then you explained it.

The challenge of getting around turns with the length and of getting up and down hills with the weight would be fun. The frustration of the bureaucracy and red tape would drive me nuts! How do you pass the time, waiting for several days, in a place like Liberty PA (a.k.a. out in the middle nowhere)? Keep on trucking, and remember - shiny side up.

I live outside of Morris, it was cool that you stopped there. Continue bring enjoyment to us Enthusiasts and continue trucking 👍

Love your video's please keep them coming !!!💥

Enjoyed the video. Keep them coming!

I am from UK England great driving thand and the view of the the damaged bridge

seeing it from the sky is cool like the music reminds me of eastwood movies

Nice tanker with Gasoline(1203) right next to the scales, nice drive and i bet the extra help to block traffic is quite nice.

Great video. Liked all the explanation. That Key bridge collapse was tragic for the workers who lost their lives and their families. May they RIP. Kudos to those who got the word out so quickly that allowed LEOs to block the bridge to avoid further loss of life. And kudos to you for taking a few seconds and giving the Baltimore inner harbor a plug. I am from Virginia and enjoy it when I go.

The USS Constellation is the last sail-only warship designed and built by the United States Navy. It has a museum gallery and is good for kids. Yes, the USS Constellation is located in Baltimore, Maryland's Inner Harbor at Pier 1. It's the only remaining ship from the Civil War era and is now a National Historic Landmark. The ship was built in 1854 and decommissioned in 1955 after 100 years of service. It's now preserved as a museum ship with four decks to explore. The ship offers regular guided tours, including a cannon firing every day, and visitors can participate in demonstrations The USS Constellation was eventually decommissioned in 1955 after 100 years of service. Located in Baltimore's Inner Harbor, this vessel is the only surviving ship from the Civil War Era. It is now a National Historic Landmark.

Hi Doug, from Calgary here. My son went to UMBC in Baltimore (actually Catonsville) about 12 years ago. He never encountered anything bad in his 4 years. During my many visits during that time, I only witnessed one incident , that was a fellow getting it on with his wife/ significant other ?? as we were leaving an NFL game. I never felt threatened during those 4 years. Also, enjoyed many visits to the inner harbour.

M'Gawd, what it does to me when I hear 'er shift to a higher gear. Just something about that sound - like it comes from somewhere deep within the earth. Beautiful job, sir - wishing you many safe miles!!!!

What i like is about is you know if you respect people they will give you respect.

Hi Doug another awesome video of your true professional skills as a heavy Haul driver and also the amount of work you put into your videos is outstanding and a pleasure to watch and also show the real stresses of doing heavy haul work so wishing you safe miles cheers from tim in queensland australia ( keep on trucking )

nice job keep them wheels ah turning good luck we be watching you

My new favorite channel!!

Love heavy haul, my Bother sells trailers out in Spruce Grove and runs a trucking firm that serves Grand Prairie, AB.

That was a great video, i enjoyed it very much maybe watch again 👏👏👏

Nice to see BALTIMORE EXPRESS alongside you there at Dundalk.

Hey Brother , I Enjoyed the Journey. Thanks for letting me ride along. I spent many years doing what you do. Be well Stay Safe. Hope to ride along for another trip 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸

My compliments again, Doug, for another outstanding video with top editing. Your explanations at the truck stop while waiting for the NYSP escort, were very interesting. Question: upon entering that T/S, when you needed to raise the trailer, doesn't that activity pull the trailer back (the reverse of what happens when drivers drop the air on a van-trailer after docking, it pushes the trailer-box forward). The real question is: do you leave the tractor-brake off when raising the trailer, so the tractor moves backwards during the process? (the energy for raising the trailer has got to go somewhere). Also, when you suggested - just prior to entering the Rest Area/Weigh Station near Kanona/NY - to have all your paperwork ready for such inspections, you named among other things the Permits. Maybe you should also remind drivers to ensure that the Permits are signed and all auxiliary forms (usually to be downloaded from the State's website) are in fact present with each permit. (I can't stop re-iterating the "signing part" to all my drivers).

I like that bridge in the background.

The front NYP car was in a world of its own half the time.

Beautiful NY scenery

Hey Doug !! Thanks again for the view of the Baltimore Disaster & for the ride !!! Enjoy your time off & hope to see you maybe in Aug. when in the Buffalo area !! 👍👍👍👍👍

We started goi g to the #1 on 695 about 20 years ago and MSP liked it and the word spread, now if you have a trooper thats pretty standard affair. Much safer than wrestling w ramp traffic. Excellent job all around Driver!

that was some very professional driving good job

You are ture professional to allow others driver's the right of way even though the cop kept going. Just the pick up where I left off. That was a beautiful day

Another interesting video Doug, enjoy watching them all. Your driving skills are at the top of professional driving for sure !!

I'm new here I usually hangout north carolina and southern indiana, heavy equipment operators arizona utah off road and on road vehicle recovery and florida drag racing, this is the first ever long haul channel for meoh I'm into railroads and home construction too.

Boy we are sure lucky out here in the West (Nevada) where we have lots of freeways to handle these types of loads. A lot easier than what you have to do to get the load delivered to the customer back East. Thanks for taking us along for the trip.

Greetings from Toronto, Nice job sir , I too have driven heavy float in Toronto ,(89 Mack Superliner with JC float ,double jeep),My heavies machine I ever hauled was a Hitachi 11000 many yrs ago ,I enjoyed travelling 90% In Ontario , At times had to go to Nova Scotia docs to pick machine called Fuich I believe ,for scrap yards recovery ,I'm retired now but enjoy watching ,Cheers

Wow great job and great video and all green lights by a 6/49 man

This was extra fun for me because I’m familiar with all these roads.

An other great one !!! Thanks :)

Mercy! Good job!

Great video very interesting thanks

Ahhhhhh you went through my city again in the intro! Hahahah enjoying this so much.

The camera work is amazing.

I always wondered why most heavy cross country runs don’t allow you to take the inside lanes. Thanks for the ride along. Texas🙏

Love your videos, I live in Baltimore, about a 20 minute walk to the inner harbor. I drive past the staging area every day on the way home from work. Hopefully one day I’ll see your truck sitting there.

Nice truck, don't always need an 18-speed manual for Heavy haul.😂😂

It amazes me that you go through all these small towns and narrow roads. Thought t would be easier to stick to the freeways.enjoy the ride along.

Hi Doug. Weather's looking better🤣. Very impressed at the scales. Nice to see the drone footage and how you line up the lorry. All scientific stuff, which I totally enjoy, and looking at the read out. Not many truckers explain any of this. I follow a half dozen or so truckers, and only one person explains things, which is Sherralin (Lorry Diaries) on her site. She does many trips out of England and around Europe, usually France, Spain and Portugal, and she does some explanations as well. When you stopped for the inspection, I had to laugh to myself watching the officer on his back pushing himself along. Looked like an upside down turtle🤣

As long everyone is on the same page on how you getting their, what lanes is needed and what the situation is for the travel. Then keep at it it as long the drive is safe for everyone on the road traveling and less stop and go. But for sure that is a big Cat on the low loader trailer.

I recently sent an application to be a heavy-haul company driver for a construction company. I really hope it happens, this stuff is extremely exciting (and a little stressful :D )

Another dynamic video

thanks from germany

Another great job and video work!🦬🦬🦬🦬👷🏻‍♂️👷🏻‍♂️👷🏻‍♂️👷🏻‍♂️👍👍👍

Super cool…. i love it 🥰

great video

Shocked that they didn't ship this by sea. Cool vid

Toutes mes félicitations au conducteur du tracteur !

Hey- Another good video. Liked it when class went into secession for Stinger 101. I was looking for the pop quiz though. When you load Excavators or Mining trucks do you offset the machine a little to offset the weight of the cab? Have a good day.

I like the way you edit your videos. Makes for easy watching when I get ready to hit the sack in my own sleeper berth. One thing I don't get is why you don't simply use I-190 from I-90 to the Peace Bridge instead of NY-33 and having to turn on Division? Is there some restriction for oversize on that stretch of road?

It sure is weird seeing the container ship fiasco in the background eh!

Well you know as well as I do that on those shorty ramps I swear it gets to be a game with some of the 4 wheelers(and some of the 18s)

A new business model for someone out there: powered creepers for DOT/MOT/DMV inspectors.

Well u doin a awesome job bro

I never would have guess it takes that long to sort out police escort. Cheers.

Got lead here from Truck TV America. Nice video.

Good job !

Hi Doug, wishing you all the very best with your new rig when you get it Hopefully no teething problems eh. Mike from UK 🇬🇧

Pleasure watching a son learn from his dad and be as good as the old man congratulate your dad for me he did a great service to our over dimensional industry fine piece of work son be safe big guy

Awesome video, Doug! Please visit British Columbia sometime to teach our guys how it's done. I've lost track of how many overpasses we've lost in the last 2-3 years!

Wow I can't believe they took you down thru town in NY that's crazy. There is a long sweeping bridge just before 99 changes to 86 it must have a weight restriction.

I thought the 395 was built in the US, guess not. Enjoyed the video, well done. 👍👍

Always interesting to see how they route you. How did they get you up to buffalo this time? We are about 40 miles west of Lawrenceville

It's odd when you see your small town pop up on one of these videos. I live in the small town of lawrenceville where the NY cops picked you up. I seen you that day but didn't even think it was you, I would have stopped and said whats up. Maybe next time. Safe travels

Great video, now that you have had some time in the Pete with the auto transmission what is your opinion of that unit for heavy haul use. I do not know if I could get used to the automatic. To use to the 18 speed. Also, what engine is in the Pete? is it the Pacar or one of the other brands?

4:04 I actually laughed out loud.

Now getting to the end of the video. If that was the Brits pulling up to call the bridge to cross, we'd be duty free first, then call the bridge🤣🤣🤣. Whilst your crossing the bridge, the river reminds me of the Rhine in Holland as its nearing the North Sea. Brilliant video Doug, keep them rolling

Nice video, i hope i never get stuck behind you :P

Doug, great video. Entertaining and informative. ??? I’d be interested in hearing a breakdown of the total $$ cost of escort/police charges for the haul. It must be very significant. Thank you.

Greetings from Germany. Great Job. One question: Is the third rear axle on your truck optional and removeable? Thanks.

hey mate quick question how does the auto do with the oversized pulls im from NZ an havnt seen any autos pull the oversized loads 🤙
