Believe it or not it can happen. If there's not a way to do a turnaround with the load and your route is blocked, they will make you just pull over on the side of the road as best as you can and make you wait. The state police don't mind because they are getting paid by the hour. On average they are making somewhere between $35 and $50 an hour.
I've seen Mammoet and van Seumeren haul drill platforms and refinery columns before. While this gantry was long, indeed, it wasn't nearly as big as those things.
To everyone asking "why couldn't this have been broken up into shorter sections and assembled on sight?"... I'm no expert, but i have to assume a lot of very smart and well paid people worked on this transportation problem, looked at different routes on the map, and considered different methods to achieve the same goal, and determined that what we seen here was the best/easiest/cheapest way to go about it. My hat's off to them because they apparently knew what they were doing and did a fantastic job. Also, no doubt the driver is most excellent, but he also had a lot of support personnel helping him maneuver that thing. It was no doubt a team effort!
Wow. Excellent. I hauled oversized loads for many years. Getting it there felt great. I did one job 7.5 hrs to get it there and 1 hr to get back to the yard. Thanks for a great video
When you are hauling over sized loads with police escorts they are very accommodating to the driver. I know this for a fact because I have done escorted loads with state police escorts.
Wow this is a clever comment. Perhaps the first time anyone has used the "Yes" retort in a TH-cam comment! I can only imagine what's next! Probably something like: "How much road do you need?" "All of it" Hahahaha wow, hilarious 😆 🙄
Hey driver: need you to back this into that side road. Driver: YOU WHAT!!??😳😳 LOL😂😂😂 they are the best of the best he may not look it but guarantee he's been driving for a long time.... I started hauling hay @ 12y.o in a 2tn 56 chevy and have driven a lot of things sence then ( until I got hi-jacked and shot) but this is 1 load I'd pass on.
I have respect for all truckers. They work hard on the road delivering the goods across the states. These guys did a great job delivering that, it probably wasn’t easy maneuvering through those tight turns
My dad was a long-haul trucker with wide-load steel; but this is a lot bigger and wilder! That was some awesome driving and "eying" for the trucker that the man in the back did! Kudos to all involved!
Fantastic video. It takes a team of experienced professionals to pull off a job such as this. Great camera views. The driver was so cool and calm, a true sign that he trusted all of the work his co-workers did in planning this journey, and offering precision directions along the route. Excellent job, Buchanan Hauling!

Haha so true. I'm no truck driver or heavy hauler or anything like that, just a farmer. Anyways there was one time I was hauling a bull and a couple cows to a sale and I had to make a left turn onto a smaller road and right as I was about to turn this guy pulled out way past the stop sign and he was in the middle of the road to take a left Man I tell you the look on his face was priceless as he watched that trailer literally inches from his little car
Holy cow, listen to all the back seat drivers in the comments below. It would be very difficult to piece this down and take it in sections, which would still cause traffic problems, especially hooking those sections together on site and up in the air, when in one time to haul it all and end it. This was fully thought out and determined to be the best and safest way to do it and the least amount of traffic interference.

It's a lot of pressure operating one of those things because if you make the slightest mistake someone could be killed or property could be destroyed cause there is a lot of weight on those heaby haulers and they don't stop easily that's why there's multiple operators for the rig , one being the main cab driver , another being the rear trailer controller then lastly there are the pilot vehicles that help to keep traffic away Along with guiding the operators around stuff so they don't have any collisions.
