- Edwards Rigging, out of Shelbyville, KY, recently finished the last in the series of 480-ton truck cargos known as “superloads," to complete a large auto parts stamping press at the Martinrea facility in Hopkinsville, KY, where it will be assembled as part of a plant expansion project.
The oversized hauler made six trips from the Eddyville, KY, river port, via U.S. 68 and I-24, to Hopkinsville. Each load clocked in at roughly 960,000 lbs -- 12x the normal weight allowed on the roads!!
As a 30yr retired truck driver, I’m still always amazed at these overloaded trailers and how they maneuver. Great job!
Excellent on several levels: interesting content, great editing, and wonderful to see manufacturing staying in North America! Thank you. 2:38 2:38
The engineering to design that trailer is so amazing.
Amazing- the drone shots really show how impressive this is !
Thanks so much!
Great Video, impresive Drone footage, thanks for sharing
That is downright incredible! Great video.
Thanks man!
That's folks who knows what they are doing 👍
That small trailer hook on a towing truck is sure not made of chinesium.
Too bad the load item appears to have been made in Asia instead of the USA.
😍😍😍 We are LOVING this heavy haul action!!!
Thanks much!
Absolutely AMAZING
That is some nice shit there fellas! Working a job with contractor that has mindful people on the control boxes! The planning from start to finish, well done! I am retired crane operator and miss those jobs that kept your attention and flowed smooth! Worked with an engineer who pulls for a national heavy mover contractor based in the Midwest. He'd send you out on a task and everything down to the smallest shackle was in the rigging list to take with drawing made writing the lift plan (which on occasion he would have done already, depending) made this operators task so much better to address and removed all skid marks from the skives!
wow
What were they transporting?
I’ve done quite a bit of heavy haul, but never a double tractor setup with a rear steering Jeep. I’d love to take that setup out one time.
Great video! Good job editing! When they move slow it is hard on the drone batteries. LOL!
I did have to pick my spots to fly more carefully, and I had to think of ways to capture movement of the subject with the drone moving more than the subject.
1:28 Beautiful turn!
The load looks much smaller from in the air, when the drone descends to a more even plane with the trailer things appear much different. Be safe, prayers for all.
Amazing to see .The cab looks American.
EDWARD'S!!!!!
Wonder what it is. Doesn't look like a power transformer. It's also well protected.
*BIG NUMBER AM3RIC4N LOAD - 1 MILLLLLLIOOOOOON POUND* or 450 ton as its known in the rest of the grown-up world
Didn’t think that bringing my sandwich’s into work would be such big deal 🤷🏼♂️
That would have been so fun to drive either the lead or helper truck
But what is it?
What is the load?
The technologies of the first world are at an entirely different level. We in the developing world can't come to that level. We don't have either the materials or the capacity to conceive, design or execute it faultlessly.
Looks like many extra footage for a small load
What is the commodity to help your video?
Wow! Nicely done! Of the 960,000 lbs total weight... how much of that was actual load, versus trucks, trailers, and rigging?
Was this around the 20th of August on I -24? Me and the wife drove from Muhlenberg to Benton my wife seen it I was driving. Oh well might not have been what she seen.
You covered it well. Some great shots Whitney. Nice piloting.
You probably did see one of the earlier loads. This video was actually shot this morning, and there were five loads before this one over the last couple weeks. Thank you, Bob!
I reckon the rear truck has the harder job. Unreal!
Correct, my dad drives it (by remote control) and it’s crazy how long it takes and how precise it has to be
Heavy duty trailer.
What's he hauling?
Read the description above, it explains much better than any of us could.
I don't care for the music.
I would rather for somebody talking about what is going on instead of not being but That noise.
Thank you
🤯
Wondering if it's a member of the AAA ?
480 tons.
Imagine what that driver is getting paid. 😁
$22.50/hr. Boss needs a 2nd vacation home
Nice! That’s not what I ordered.
Awesome humor
Ого го го 😮
what is in the trailer?👍🤪🇺🇸
music?
No.
I listen to lots of tracks, and go with whichever one smacks me in the face. This one is definitely different!

Good video, thank God for "MUTE".
That's awful small item to weigh that how much
From China?
there are drivers that know how to drive.
but some of the loads i have seen, why not just build on site? would be easer that building off site then moving it.
Airbus A380 weighs more when fully loaded
I highly doubt they go down a rodeway though
💕Wow🤍💜💜💜🤍💜💜
It's about time America started using "Proper" weights and measurements! One Million pounds super load = 500 tons
Meh, I would have rented a UHaul and done it cheaper and faster.
Just typical American overkill,
The music junked another video 👎👎👎👎👎👎💩💩💩😬
Worst part is, it’s probably a million pounds of Chinese junk!
