Douglas I'm curious about the rail line when leaving the port. Is that line a spur or do you have to coordinate super loads crossing the rail line with train movement?
Pardon me, I didn't realize ( when I asked) this move was out of Jersey. I was referring more to leaving the port in Baltimore.@luckybananaheavyhaul3407
I really enjoy your videos! On this video you got routed off I-81. I am not sure what construction is going between Cortland and Tully but between Tully and where you cleared the construction on Route 81, there was no need for any of those roads and streets to be used. You would have been fine on 81 all the way up. When you got off Taft Road to 81 North , you were 3 blocks from my home. Now I know that you have to follow the routes you were given but this one did you no favors and I was very surprised by the routing. Keep up the great work and I love the puppy!
this is quickly becoming my go to watched channel. I particularly find moving these trains fascinating. I live about an hour south of Boston, sometimes if I leave early enough I will get to see them hauling train cars off to a new portion of rail they're building and testing
Bud, firstly what a epic trucking 🚚 video 📹, awesome truck driving from the port 👌 to the end of the video, got to see how awesome a mega load is moved, great scenery along the way brilliant job 👏👍👌
This looked like a lovely trip! Beautiful country, not too much traffic in the small roads, and escorts who know what's up and make your life easier! Also an assortment of wires to keep you on your toes, and Fred for head scratches and company :3 Although I'm not sure if you have any time to appreciate the landscape, staring out the window is probably not what you're worried about as a commercial driver, much less in a big rig.
Un bon Chauffeur passe entre les deux poteaux 😎👍, cest agreable de ce promener avec toi , Be safe ca rapelle des souvenir lol premiere fois jecris bin deuxieme ,la premiere a tu passer .
Good evening from East PA. The trip thru NY was beautyful but the thing that I notice the most is the great road surfaces, so much better than PA!! Keep the shiny side up and "keep on truckin"
I see your companion is adjusting to the trucking life pretty good Doug. As always love the videos, be safe out the in the jungle of idiots lol. See ya.
I AM SO GLAD THAT YOU HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO TELL US THE ROUT THAT YOU ARE TAKING..I REMEMBER WAY BACK WHEN I ASKED YOU TO START DOING THAT!!!..IT MAKES THE VLOG A LOT MORE INTERESTING 😀 😉..THANKS DOUG AS ALWAYS A GREAT JOB 👍...AND I LOVE YOUR NEW TRUCK..🎉😊❤.
Hi Doug and Fred thanks for another awesome video coming out of the huge dock area and throughout New York State such beautiful scenery but some tight turns and great job by your pilot guys so wishing you safe miles cheers from tim in queensland australia ( keep on trucking ) ps my grandaughter says Fred is so cute looking out the window but he chilled for the rest of the trip
I don't know why truthfully, A year ago 3 years ago I had nothing to do with oversized truckloads and now this is the new thing....... I feel strangely compelled to watch the videos And the wave hello to any oversized Truck I see on the road
Another great video from you Doug! Awesome teamwork, and its real life, no made up drama! Keep them coming. Your pooch seems super comfortable with you in the truck, now. I also follow FSC trucking, and if you people want another really great trucking feed, try Trucking Together, a husband and wife truck team. They are good friends with FSC. It is real life trucking, and husband Martin has a lot of DIY truck maintenance videos, even one where he rebuilt a Cummins for his Pete in his driveway, out of the truck. Keep up the good work, Doug, and look forward to the next post! ☺
Enjoying the ride Doug. Love Fred. Just wondering what he's chewing🤣, seems to be enjoying it. Talking about leaves changing colour. Ours are also changing here in the UK. I have an Acer in the back garden, and its always green, then all of a sudden, virtually over a week, maybe two, the leaves turn to a gorgeous red colour. As you drive past Syracuse, there were 35 university students who were tragically killed on board the 747 that blew up over Lockerbie in Scotland
Hello Doug and Fred .Thankyou for the new Video. The trip and the landscape are very nice .Enjoy the time with Fred 😊 .My dog passed away on last friday 😢 she was 12 years old .Greetings from Michael from germany
Guillaume et moi on c`est promener avec ton chien et toi ,merci on est pas tanant lol .Histoire courte ,cest simple tu travail bien,tu me fait penser a quelqu un serieux . Un bon chauffeur passe entre le deux poteaux , jte regardais tourner, ton infra rouge est bonne , cest un art faire ca serieux ,moi non plus je cassait pas souvent , un flat ici et la, cest comment on travail cest toute . Au Texas sy le gars dla job veut essayer de tembarquer ca tete tu dit ( hHey Tabarnak ) Whhat did he say hihi la tu as son attention. Ok belle job Be Safe .
I don`t know about you but i think it is amazing to me what a truck can hall with a small engine and a gear box. I use to drive truck both for a freight and grocery componies. I have always wanted to do loads like you do never was able to find the jobs out hear on the west coast i know they were hear but when i was looking i was did not see them.!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Doug great video also brilliant to see Fred he is growing fast. How is the new rig doing. Keep up the brilliant video's aswell. Keep them wheels a rolling
Doug another Awesome video. I have a couple questions if you want to answer them if not that's okay. How do you feel about the difference between manual and automatic transmissions? How did you get your site name? Thanks Larry
When I’m not on the road you can usually catch me fishing. There is a fishing superstition that bananas are unlucky. Therefor Lucky Banana Personally I prefer manual only because automatic is boring to drive. The new automatics are actually quite capable. Both have their pros and cons
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 Thanks Doug I seen in one of your videos your fishing poles on the passenger side. The one I watched the other day showed a lot of Fred on the floor sprawled out sleeping on his back. What a Great Companion.
Pretty impressive material handling systems at those container ports! Not hard to see why they can't do contraband inspection 100% of the containers. Question for Doug: would Fred be allowed to travel in a company truck?
@@Adam-x4bhe said in his video when he got the truck that that was the reason he bought his own truck was so he could have Fred with him since he couldn’t in the company truck
Ya know, I just sat down to take a quick look at what you were up to with the 389 and that was two and a half hours ago. I'm curious to know what all the gauges are for on the dash. Maybe you could do a video on what makes that tractor tick. That would be nice.
Just about all mechanical components you could think of. Engine, coolant, oil, transmission, exhaust, both rear end temps. Yes, temps for all those different parts. Others are your usual boost pressure gauge for turbo, volt gauge, oil pressure, speedometer, tachometer, maybe a load gauge for drives (shows how much weight is on back of truck) More are air pressure gauges, primary and secondary. There also could be one that shows how much pressure is going to brakes when pressing in brake pedal. Some trucks have a gauge that shows if your fuel filters are clogged up or not as well as a gauge that shows the same for your air filter. And some others that I'm forgetting to mention.
I look forward to the videos that you produce. The challenges and the terrain are very informational, as well as how the driver and the pilot cars interact. One question however, how do you handle the need for bathroom stops during the time on the road since the human situation is hard to plan for?
Hey Doug ,,, Fred & The ESCORTS !! Thanks for the ride !!! Sometimes makes you wonder just who picks these roads as surly they DON'T drive oversized loads !!! Was that your DAD in the back where you parked at ??👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Doug, Awsome videos. Is this harbor in Baltimore? Very nice that you film where you load. What is the weight of that train cart? Greetings from Trondheim, Norway.
I will take a stab at an answer, several reasons, the St Lawrence River, the immense size of this ship, perhaps the cranes at the port, also the port at Quebec is another 2500 or so km from the Port at new Jersey, perhaps Groupe Bellemare made an offer Montreal could not refuse? as well We would not have another Great road trip from Lucky Banana : ) probably the best reason one could think of! I would ask also why not on rails? the Toronto subway cars arrived from Thunder Bay by truck too another good question in itself Yes? Cheers! from Ontario
Syracuse, my old home base. That 81 construction is going to be a long one. Any tips for guys that have been company men for over a decade but thinking about going o\o?
Do it for the o/o lifestyle but not for the money. Don’t do it until you’re financially ready. If you start with all your cards maxed out it’s really hard to get ahead. I’m not trying to discourage you, just saying don’t do it until you’re 100% ready
Hi Doug, been with your channel a while now, love all your videos. I'm from the UK and don't know about trucks. would it be possible for you to make a video of the dashboard of your truck and tell us what all the dials are for? Thanks.
Doug, that port is massive. You must have burnt your hours for that just trying to get out of there.😜 question: there must be a real experienced team building the route plans for you guys to haul these loads. How much lead time does it take to build the plan and does anyone check the route selected will actually work when your supposed to be traveling through it? Hope I’m clear on the question I.e. one thing to plot a route on a map but another to validate that route is viable for the load your carrying.
Me again. 😅 Would the time taken to divert because of construction come out to about the same amount of time it would take to go through the construction zones?
It’s not about saving time. It’s about safety. And sometimes if there is a lane closure, the wide load just doesn’t physically fit through the construction zone.
Great video Doug. What kind of engine break are you using on this Pete? I'm used to hearing the louder "Jakes" without mufflers but yours is much quieter.
I’m surprised you got your load considering that the Longshoremen Union is going on Strike on October 1st. For the Whole East Coast and The Gulf States!!!
Unloading a container ship takes less time than one might suppose. Regardless of the number of “cans” there are strict time limits and I’ve seen a couple completely emptied in 48 hours.
I'm curious Douglas. Do you ever get stopped questioning your permitting and verifying your routing? I know state guys have access to permitted movements.
Some of these routes They give heavy haulers on permits & detour purposes ...but in return u get to see some nice Rural Greeney sceneries of United states & Canada
Love the views. I haul about 100k gross in a 3 axel trailer and 8 axels over all. I enjoy watching these makes me look like a rookie.
Bigger isn’t always better. We all do our own thing! Thanks for watching ✌️
You know its darn nice to see this because its not in Québec that i should see such devices unloading ships ,,,,Darrell
I agree! The different machines and technology are interesting
Oh fantastic!!!! I've been waiting for a new video. Just started following and have been watching all your older videos
Love the new Pete
Douglas I'm curious about the rail line when leaving the port. Is that line a spur or do you have to coordinate super loads crossing the rail line with train movement?
@Dave-0523 we do not coordinate with any rail lines on this route. I’m not saying it’s a bad idea… but there are fees for that so we don’t
Pardon me, I didn't realize ( when I asked) this move was out of Jersey. I was referring more to leaving the port in Baltimore.@luckybananaheavyhaul3407
Hello
I see Fred is recuperating from his exhausting trip from the chair to the floor.. 😂😂
🤣😂🤣
ty 4 the ride along nice weather and good scenery
Lucky Banana and FSC Trucking are my 2 favorite trucking channels
I like FSC also. I also watch gentry and sons trucking
Great video. Wonderful late summer weather and scenic northern New York State.
I really enjoy your videos! On this video you got routed off I-81.

Im not surprised! It’s not the first time we get miss led by department of transport and it won’t be the last!
this is quickly becoming my go to watched channel. I particularly find moving these trains fascinating. I live about an hour south of Boston, sometimes if I leave early enough I will get to see them hauling train cars off to a new portion of rail they're building and testing
Glad you enjoy! ✌️✌️✌️
C’est toujours impressionnant de voir le professionnalisme avec lequel tu fait tes transports ! Un exemple a suivre 😎
Merci ☺️
Good team work you got there Doug
Teamwork #1

I try to appreciate the view from my office 😇 never take anything for granted
always enjoyed the back roads when I hauled the big loads, thanks for the reminder of old forgotten memories. Be safe and enjoyed life.
😇 thanks for tagging along
Un bon Chauffeur passe entre les deux poteaux 😎👍, cest agreable de ce promener avec toi , Be safe ca rapelle des souvenir

Merci Marc 😊✌️
I love the way you ply the back roads in New York.!!!!!!!!
Good evening from East PA. The trip thru NY was beautyful but the thing that I notice the most is the great road surfaces, so much better than PA!! Keep the shiny side up and "keep on truckin"
That Evergreen Cargo ship is one of the largest in the world. It was cool that you went past it.
Thanks for a great video. Its great to have a great crew, great weather, great scenery, and great dog to make a good trip.
That ship is massive would love to see one in person some day
saw one dock at duluth, mn. im sure this boat is much larger but it was still insane
I am very pleased you mentioned the towns and cities you are passing by.
You guys spoke and I listen!
Thanks for another great video. Hell yes keep em coming.
I see your companion is adjusting to the trucking life pretty good Doug. As always love the videos, be safe out the in the jungle of idiots lol. See ya.
What else can the dog do? He is completely dependent.
Thanks Neal 😊
Cool stuff , big cranes to
Thank you for sharing your adventures and videos , buy Fred a good treat too

You guys spoke and I listen!
I love your Basset Hound.!!!!!!!!
What a ride! And I've never been on that road through Tully either. Beautiful country there south of the 'Cuse.
Also what an adorable doggie!
Hi Doug and Fred thanks for another awesome video coming out of the huge dock area and throughout New York State such beautiful scenery but some tight turns and great job by your pilot guys so wishing you safe miles cheers from tim in queensland australia ( keep on trucking ) ps my grandaughter says Fred is so cute looking out the window but he chilled for the rest of the trip
Always love getting comments from around the world 😊
Doug, NOT EVEN DUST ON THE HOOD!!!!!
The next video might have a bug in the windshield 😅 not joking 🙃
I don't know why truthfully, A year ago 3 years ago I had nothing to do with oversized truckloads and now this is the new thing....... I feel strangely compelled to watch the videos And the wave hello to any oversized Truck I see on the road
Lots of oversize vids on this channel! Feel free to go back and check out some of the others!
Impressive as usual!! Nice to see you make time to give the hound a belly rub!! Sray safe
Always gotta make time for a belly rub 😋

Nice job as usual.puppy is growing. Been stuck up in nw Washington with an17,4 tall transformer battling for permits for 5 weeks now
5 weeks! 😔😔😔 I hope you get moving soon. Safe travels ✌️

I the best video I've seen is the one with the wind turbine blade that's what you call a load. Hell of a length
Hello Doug and Fred .Thankyou for the new Video. The trip and the landscape are very nice .Enjoy the time with Fred 😊 .My dog passed away on last friday 😢 she was 12 years old .Greetings from Michael from germany

I’m from Syracuse. Been on most of those routes since 81 is rough travels these days. Wish I had been around to see you pass through town
Great-- another Lucky Banana!
Would love to see the tie down process on some of your loads. Great job god bless
doug made another awesome video !
Thank you 😊
Nice ride along & Fred likes belly rubs.
Love your content!
YOU AND YOUR GUYS SURE EARNED YOUR PAY ON THIS TRIP!!..😮😊😅..
All part of the job
Excellent !!!!!!

You gotta love New York. LOL
Pretty impressive material handling systems at those container ports! Not hard to see why they can't do contraband inspection 100% of the containers. Question for Doug: would Fred be allowed to travel in a company truck?
Doug already said that Belmare has a strict rule against dogs/ pets riding in company trucks. I *think* that's one of the reasons he became an O/O.
@@georgee6303just because of a dog I don’t think so
@@Adam-x4bhe said in his video when he got the truck that that was the reason he bought his own truck was so he could have Fred with him since he couldn’t in the company truck
Not just because of the dog but it was a lot of small reasons, one of them being the dog

Well… I try to keep my videos rated G but when someone in the group needs to go we stop 🤷🏼♂️
Some people are just so impatient they need to drive through the grass to pass you while sitting on the ramp for 38 seconds.
Hey Doug ,,, Fred & The ESCORTS !! Thanks for the ride !!! Sometimes makes you wonder just who picks these roads as surly they DON'T drive oversized loads !!! Was that your DAD in the back where you parked at ??👍👍👍👍👍
No, unfortunately dad wasn’t on this one
Nice truck
The clos i came to a job to yours was halling 60 foot beam on a 40 foot trailer and a 115 foot truck witch i love.!!!!!
Hi Doug, Awsome videos. Is this harbor in Baltimore? Very nice that you film where you load. What is the weight of that train cart? Greetings from Trondheim, Norway.
The port was in New Jersey and the train car weighed in at 85,000 lbs
Thanks for watching! ✌️
Hi Fred hi Doug! 🖖
Awesome!!!
Is there a reason why the container ships do not make a port call to Quebec. As always I really enjoy your channel.
The cost of that huge ship diverting to Montreal would be astronomically higher than our transport cost
I will take a stab at an answer, several reasons, the St Lawrence River, the immense size of this ship, perhaps the cranes at the port, also the port at Quebec is another 2500 or so km from the Port at new Jersey, perhaps Groupe Bellemare made an offer Montreal could not refuse? as well We would not have another Great road trip from Lucky Banana : ) probably the best reason one could think of!

Do you have a name for that awesome truck yet ? I’d call her “Black Beauty” eh . Love the videos and thanks for taking us on your adventures.
Honestly I’ve never named my trucks. I’ve called them bad words when having a bad day 🤣 but never by their name
hi good job
you and pooch must a really good baldder
😅😅😅

I don’t know what your puppy’s name is but she is just fabulous!! ❤❤❤🐶
Fred 😊
What a video! What motor is in the truck? Sounds good.
565hp cummins
I could swear I saw you bobtailing eastbound on I-74 in Indiana today.
Why would he bobtail in the U.S
Hotel? Walmart? Lunch? Idk.
Indeed you did spot me on 74 😁
Hotel for the weekend
If I recall correctly, in another video he explains that he is only allowed to move US to Canada or Canada to US, not US to US.
Correct but I’m allowed to leave my trailer at the truck stop and travel to a hotel or restaurant
Hi Doug, been with your channel a while now, love all your videos. I'm from the UK and don't know about trucks. would it be possible for you to make a video of the dashboard of your truck and tell us what all the dials are for? Thanks.
Could you do a run through of the fantastic dashboard and what all the gauges and switches do ?
You do a great job! Is there usually a speed-limit in the permit or can you go as fast as any normal truck?
Rules change from state to state. The only 2 that I know of which enforce an oversize load speed limit are Ohio and Michigan which are 55mph
Haven't see u on channel, glad that there keeping you and ur truck busy. That's an awesome load , how long does it take to get it legal.
I don’t understand what you mean by “get it legal” 🤷🏼♂️
Get the axle weighs
@mikeklein318 these trailers are specially designed to carry the train in the exact same spot. The weights balance every time.
please keep the videos comin!! Also what is the heaviest you have hauled/grossed?
I believe my personal best is 325,000. But that’s still nothing compared to some other guys
@@luckybananaheavyhaul3407 definitely not light!! Keep on tunkin and be safe!!!
Doug, that port is massive. You must have burnt your hours for that just trying to get out of there.😜 question: there must be a real experienced team building the route plans for you guys to haul these loads.

Yes for loads of this size a surveyor is sent to verify the route $$$

It’s not about saving time. It’s about safety. And sometimes if there is a lane closure, the wide load just doesn’t physically fit through the construction zone.
how do like driving a stick than altomatic sound like u it running great but your happyer to have your own truck too be safe an enjoy
Personal preference I like the manual. But I’m not going to bash the automatic. It did a good job
that port is an awesome sight, lots of "stop"s painted and ignored!
🙈🙈🙈
Great video Doug. What kind of engine break are you using on this Pete? I'm used to hearing the louder "Jakes" without mufflers but yours is much quieter.
A lot of the super kool super truckers are running straight pipes. This truck has mufflers
I’m surprised you got your load considering that the Longshoremen Union is going on Strike on October 1st. For the Whole East Coast and The Gulf States!!!
Glad I’m not scheduled at any ports this week 😅
Thanks for sharing
I have seen lots of heavy haul channels
However I was waiting to see them loaded at the docks
Was this at Baltimore?
This is New Jersey
Since Fred the Bassett hound is now your travelling companion, will your radio handle change to "Snowman" and your excorts become "Bandits"?
😂😂😂 we won’t take it that far
12:25 what a view
Interessantes Video 👍👍👍👍👍👋👋👋
👍👍👍Merci
Those container walker are prolly the most bizarre thing ive seen in my life...
I think Star Wars every time I see them 😂
I miss the old truck.
Can’t please everyone!
What do you use for a camera on your mirrors
GoPro
👍👍👍
Unloading a container ship takes less time than one might suppose. Regardless of the number of “cans” there are strict time limits and I’ve seen a couple completely emptied in 48 hours.
I'm curious Douglas. Do you ever get stopped questioning your permitting and verifying your routing? I know state guys have access to permitted movements.
Usually we get questioned by county police who scratch their head about why the state routed us through their little town
Have you ever pulled Load just as high as it is wide ? Mark from Ontario Canada
I took a 16’ wide, 16’ high all the way to the Yukon once
J'aurais aimé voir le passage aux douanes, mais peut-être pour une prochaine fois.
Doug, will your transpo be affected by the port strike in New Jersey?
It hasn’t effected me personally but I’m sure others from my company are affected
Some of these routes
They give heavy haulers on permits & detour purposes ...but in return u get to see some nice Rural Greeney sceneries of United states & Canada
I sure get to see areas tourists might not think to visit 🤣
It took you how long to Côme up from baltimore
2 days
