I love this type of video. i am not only into trucking but but as an active person that recycles trash, this is how they take loaded recyclables off of the trucks and load them onto ships.
I'm confused in how these things work. I've pretty much never seen a container trailer on the back of a truck on a regular road. Do you have to deliver the container to a warehouse and then they are going to take everything out and put it on their company's trailer? Also if this is the case, I'm not saying I do not like your truck, but I just think it's more efficient to use european trucks in the port
The gross national limit on US highways is 80,000 lb with a trailer size of 53 feet (typically about 40,000 pounds of net cargo). Almost all International marine containers are 20 or 40 feet. It's not uncommon for an incoming container to be taken to a warehouse to be unloaded and "trans-loaded" onto a domestic conventional trailer, or the goods may be stored temporarily in third party logistics (3PL) warehouses and sent to multiple destinations as needed. The customers might be as far as 3,000 miles away. The United States is not Europe. We have wide roads for trucks and fuel is cheap.
I appreciate the video. I am looking in to pulling the containers from Southern Cali ports. Do you recommend to purchase truck with sleeper or day cab? Most of my moves will be within 100 miles.
3:00 Why do most of those chassis on the left have either tridem (3) axles or quadem (4) axles? Are the containers they're carrying too heavy for standard tandem axles?
This is rediculous. I'm guessing 1 hr wait for each queue. Port trucking sucks, that means 3 hrs Dickin around before you get a load. That blows. Up here in the north east , port load rates go as low as $50. WHAT A RIP OFF
@@doubleagent6951 Thats true. But i also remember, when i was 5 yrs old, it was american english speaking white, black, and brown. Now its "ci senior, han ghi, and walah walah" type. So of course labor wages are half the cost, that was what deregulation union busting was all about. Get cheap workers
@@shemailgoondall9531 in the old days, you'd park your truck and a yard jockey would hop in an get her loaded for ya. While they got the crane on your boxes it was coffee and a bite to eat, a shower or sleep. O the times have changed.
@@doubleagent6951 Here sir ! lots of this companies owned by not brown guys who pay trash tow brown guys who don't live with their mom n pop in the basement of a house that's being in their family for generations. for a port run by the so called not brownies union entitled spoilt who start work at 8am while trucks que for up to 5 hrs prior then break for a 2hr lunch and shut the port 2hrs after don't blame the brown just trying to pay rent owed to a non brown not the browns fault. Nb utmost respect to travels of Brian no disrespect whatsoever.

We need more videos like this!!
I will be doing more as I can
Man, I’d hate to be the new guy trying to figure that all out.
Great video, please make more!
Wish your audio was clearer, but thanks for the content.
Please keep doing more Port Terminal videos..💯
I don't run ports anymore. Got tired of it

Wow.... very interesting!!!!

so confusing to navigate around
What port are you in? Just wondering why all the trucks have a fourth axle and chassis have up to four axles, are these containers super loaded?
because of weights
How do you know where to go? :) Are there maps for navigation in-port?
Yes they have paper maps to help
Can u show us how the paper maps works in that port please 🙏
how much does intermodal pay a week
I would never go back working into the ports... even if it pays hourly... been there done that .....
lol just saw your jacket am in training on monday, hahha what are the odds. My name is Dom. c u there

Why do most of those chassis on the left have either tridem (3) axles or quadem (4) axles? Are the containers they're carrying too heavy for standard tandem axles?
oubrioko Yes. We can run up to 106,000 lbs.
I'm assuming that's rolled stock of paper with that much weight fully loaded
@@marcusmaclin9866 paper, fish, lumber, recycling.
Why is it that there are chasis with polished aluminum wheels ? Do they belong to the Owner Operator ?
No reason, it's just what the manufacturer puts on them, some of ours had steel, some had aluminum
that port looks complicated then ports are being
Did you lock your pins
Most people do it after leaving the port
Oh the aroma of Tacoma!
Smells like money lol
Why is every truck a tri axle and why is every trailer a quad axle
To carry more weight
Newark nj
What state is this in?
Faisal Omran I’m assuming Washington?? That’s the only Tacoma I know of, lol
What truck do u have
It's a mack . Bulldog is on the hood.
@@doubleagent6951 got it thank u
Yeah, I caught your mistake. I saw you pull in OCT to drop your empty in their yard instead of Husky, then your camera cut to pulling in Husky lol.
Oh look husky LMAO

That's why you find a company that pays hourly
That's why there's so many brown guys.
