Thank you for the kind words 😊 A job like this usually takes about 2 hours but that would make for a very long video!

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 I was pretty sure of that. Two hours is still pretty good. Keep safe.

@wmden1...i concur with your comment. Arthritis has also got me to stop driving (the legs/knees ain't cooperating ...can't climb into trucks anymore}, but after 2.5 mio kms (*) since 1986 of flat-deck & vans for Kleysen Transport cross Canada; tri-axle van LTL loads ON to Maritimes for U-Can/Universal, both as O/O, 2,5 yrs of city P&D in the GTHA, followed by 18 yrs of part-time drive-away/tow-away deliveries, incl. piggy-back combos and over-dimensional mobile cranes US & Canada, I've done my share of CMV-driving (I do miss it, though)...and, Happy Birthday...I beat you by a year, though....LOL. (*) = self-taught, accident & claims-free! @luckybananaheavyhaul340.7...My compliments, Duke, for all your videos, but this particular one was especially interesting, as i often wondered how the unloading (& loading, yet to be watched) process works and, also how the boosters are hooked-up or -off. I also wonder how/when you find the time to edit the videos.....or do you do that for an hour here and there in the sleeper while on the road? No matter, which way, can you elaborate a) what kind of cameras you use (go_pro or Insta360) and how much time it takes to edit an average (length) video?

@@andrep8287 I understand that; can't climb into the cab, and have the same problem, to a degree, with my personal F250, but I can manage it, at present. An OTR, big rigg, truck would be a different story. Getting old is not for wussies. Thanks for the kind, interesting, reply. Keep hanging in there.

Thank you sir!

About the pay I’ll send you my boss’ number lol. I’m just happy I get to do what I love. Thanks for the kind comments 😊

I live for the challenge. Thanks for the comment ✌️

Thanks for the nice comment ✌️

Don’t worry this guy makes his share of mistakes 🤣 But thanks ✌️

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 cheap shot.

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407....self-recognition is always the best medicine 😉, and confirms you're a true professional.

It is a big job!

That’s why I love this job! Every trip there’s something different!

Welcome to the channel!

I know a lot of guys don’t. There is a big debate about if it’s really necessary with the new models of equipment. It is this company’s policy to cover all exhausts so I do.

It is cheap and easy insurance to prevent engine damage.

I would love to visit Aus and try trucking there! Our biggest problem in North America are all the low bridges. That’s why we can’t use the same trailers as you guys

Sorry you watched the old version. Tomorrow I am re-publishing this video with added explanations!

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 love ❤️ working hard 😓👍

Desolate, there's a cell tower beside the lot.

Thank you! 😊

Beast of a machine

Yes it sure was. Loaded a two trailers for semis with just two buckets .yes it was a definite beeast. 👍🏻

I learned to operate a 988 at Bently Warren Trucking, Ipswich MA in 1984. Best employer I ever had. Now he has a Biker Saloon on Rte 1 in Maine.

I did to in rock mine in FL 2 buckets get your butt going I got 50 more to load

As useless as your opinion is your comment helps my algorithm so thank you ✌️

Yeesh! Don't think I would've seen it either. They need to make them alittle larger😂

I got a few years left to go 😅. It’s the kind of job you do because you love it. No other reason makes any sense.

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 🎉😢

Yes it pays better than regular transport but not enough for what we deal with everyday. The guys who get into heavy haul just for the money don’t last.

Thank you. If you guys keep watching, I’ll keep making these videos 😊

🤣🤣🤣✌️

Personal choice. I prefer to load the booster because there are less steps involved if you need to back up with just the jeep. With the booster on the ground you need to get out, walk back and fight with the locking pin in order to back up

Don’t need a gym membership 🤣✌️

Some people pay to go to the gym 🤪

Work smarter not harder! Beats lugging blocks sometimes. Thanks for watching 😊

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 yeah you’re night lying. You are welcome sir.

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 ,,,question when pulling the beam/booster out: is the bogey equipped with automatic brake-cagers? ...as in, normally when you disconnect the supply airline, the parking brakes apply. Considering you hooked the pull-chains to the tractor-bumper, how did you release the parking brakes (or, can you supply air to release the parking brakes from the brake-chambers?)..

@andrep8287 before disconnecting I install a ball valve on the emergency brake glad hand keeping the air in the system to keep the parking brake released.

Thank you sir 😊

Even this big loader doest have enough ground clearance underneath to clear the beam. We need to drop them on blocks and you have a choice to make a ramp with more blocks or pull the trailer. You really only need to pull it about 10-15 feet but it looks better on video when you pull it all the way 😉

Thanks ✌️

Haha. It’s not that bad. Just need to visualize which steps go in what order.

Just because it’s a gravel digger doesn’t give us permission to damage it. Our company motto is we let the customer put the first scratches on them.

Alot of these yards have shops who can make minor repairs, thereby avoiding a claim

Thank you sir 😊

I don’t mind taking the time it takes when the weather is nice. When it’s raining or blowing I don’t mind a helper tho lol!

Every model gets beefier. These K’ and the XE’s are big pieces

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 There was a time when 992's were manageable pieces.

Now they are only manageable in pieces 🤣

The loader in the Background is an International Harvester 560 Wheel Loader, noted by the white cab assembly and engine covering. Prior to International, this loader was known as Hough Loaders, then International bought Hough, then Dresser Industries bought the remaining pieces of International after Komatsu destroyed what was left of International Harvester.

He's probably the Owner lol.

Pretty sure I would just drive it 5km 🤣 🙈

I agree for safety reasons. Accidents can happen, wooden blocks can break, a foot can slip. Unfortunately these companies are all about safety until they can save some money.

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 ...touché!

If you wanna do the big Tonkas you gotta get on a beam. Especially on the east coast.

If only. These loads still require a height pole. Believe it or not we still hit wires in NY state. The northeast is a pain for height. All this to have a better routing. Thanks for watching 😊

Merci 😊

Loading we usually get another loader or forklift to push the trailer under. Those 12 x 12 hardwood blocks are heavy and it’s a lot of work to put wood all the way. I only removed the back dolley because my annual permit allows me up to 30 meters long in Quebec. By only removing the back dolley I’m short enough to move legally without additional permit and escorts.

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 k thanks

Yes I have done that but I don’t have it on video yet

That’s heavy haul!

Ça prends 14 pieds entre les deux set de roues pour avoir doit à plus de poids. Ils appelons ce style de remorque une California 9 ( même ci on a changé le jeep 2 pour un jeep 3 )

That would be Argus Transport in Lacolle Québec

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 thank you kindly

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 What is the common reason you drop some loads in an alternate trucking yard rather than deliver to the final job site ?

@gavinperry7237 Quebec heavy haul restrictions are much different than the rest of the world ( don’t blame me, I just live there) often loads need to be transferred onto different trailers with different axle configurations.

Mostly Canada and Northeastern United States but we all over North America from time to time

I’m a driver not owner op. I’m paid by the hour.

Well here in Oz we know what to do

We load the jeep and stinger when possible to save money on permits and pilot cars.

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407. Yea but that allot on your shoulders being solo! How’s work in Québec right now?

No wind tower projects this year. Going to be mostly machinery trailers.

​@Lucky Banana Heavy Haul

​@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 😊🎉

@danielcollins....like any other commodity....you check it over for pre-existin scratches, scuffs or other damage at time of pickup (when in doubt, mark it as damaged), and hope that by the time you arrive at the consignee, the results are still the same! You likely did notice, that Doug placed a (rubber/plastic) cover over the CATs windshield.

On actual hook points like tow hook I don’t bother but if I’m going to chain over a freshly painted axle or frame than I will put padding under the chain to keep scratches minimal.

Do it all the time. I know it’s not legal in some states but we don’t have issues where we go

Keeps me from getting a truckers belly 😅

It would make it better if it could of been raining

@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 ööoooö

The delivery always has a forklift or crane available.
