Hey, mate. Experienced Australian B double (b train but short front, long rear trailer) and road train driver here. I've worked in some sketchy areas and I currently manage accident investigation and rectification in heavy vehicles. I understand why you've struggled here. I would have driven in with the full set as well. It's so fascinating to see how other minds work when running trucks. Couple of notes: Every time I see you a little stumped and not sure what to do you've gotten out and evaluated. I wish more people would. A+ it doesn't matter which way works, so long as it works. don't be afraid to drop your airbags when trying to get under things. (Moffat and load are obviously a concern too, I get it.) Don't be afraid to lift up your trailer legs and drop your airbags when there's no room. It'll give you just a little more room to help you to manoeuvre the truck out of a tight spot. Sometimes it really is faster to split up where it's easier... But it's no way near cooler. Keep up the great work, champion. And don't hurt my antenna!
A chimney sweep asks are you good there? You respond with can I get you to pull out, then he proceeds to question your ability to do your job by giving instructions, what was the purpose for asking are you good there? Spanky was all choked up when he realized that you were cool and professional, good job Matt. Keep the rubber side down.
How is it that I don't have time to watch a movie, but I have time to spend two hours trucking with you? It's so cool getting to tag along, and it has changed how I interact with trucks on the road. Thanks for bringing us along.
There are people who literally can't back their car into their garage, and watching you back those B-trains is mesmerizing. Like someone else said, I watched this like it was a movie. Awesome!
i drive a similar setup with drom deck on a daycab 98 Freightliner classic. i haul 54 3x4x8 straw bales locally, I enjoy seeing someone deal with the B-Train life on TH-cam also. thanks for the vid
you got alot more patience and tolerance than I do ! You are damn good behind the wheel thanks for this video ! drivers are the most unappreciative and most regulated job in the country < you have earned your stripes with this one
Kudos for taking on the challenge man. When I was still hauling steel I nosed into more than a couple roads where about halfway down I thought “this truck has no business being here” lol
Yeah same here with brick loads out of Kansas going to residential neighborhoods in and around Chicago with an overall 80 foot long truck. I lost more than a few antenna l😂
The way you always seem to keep your cool is inspiring dude. 😂 I would have been loosing my shit the second I parked and realized getting out won’t be easy lol. Great vid man
Wow, that guy was really 'inconvenienced' to move his 4 wheeler after all the crap you've gone through to deliver his load! Great job and well done for keeping your cool!!
@@ReubenShumway-rp3wu I'm a total novice when it comes to modding. All I can do in blender is move stuff around. But if I had the skills, that would be a really cool project. Thanks too, I'm glad you like the mods
@@ReubenShumway-rp3wu Nah, I'm not active there, I hardly ever check it. But I just got on there and saw your message. Basically I've only made the mods I feature in my videos. It'd be nice if I could share my whole google drive with one link, but the only mods I have that I still care about are the W900 twin steer, my lowboy mod, and my B-double mod.
Great video Matt,love seeing someone taking on a challenge and getting it done, and that definitely was a good challenge. Great work getting in and out of there,hopefully the load paid well. Stay safe out there my friend and keep the videos coming, catch you on the next one.
My friends father moved buildings before he passed they attached a long fixable pole to lift sagging unitility lines. They eventually only did construction and excavation because of new permits required. His dad approached life with the same professional calm at any jobs as you do. Have a most wonderful day thank you for the video
What an adventure and what a feat of energy from you! You always stay positive and take things with a sense of humor! Thank you for the video and the opportunity to share in the excitement! I will definately follow you! Best regards from Germany and KEEP ON TRUCKIN´ 👍
when you hit the power lines I thought I hope matt doesn't get out of his truck to check it out. I guess you know the dangers of touching the ground and your truck at the same time when power lines are involved, still, scary. this job was easy money ;) awesome video, thanks for sharing.
You were the soundtrack to my electronic technology degree and now you are the soundtrack my locomotive and ohv technician career. I dont know where im going with this except to express the comfort i feel with these videos. Also tbh i just found out your name is matt haha my gf and I have been calling you 'cal' because I assumed the channel was based on your name 😅
I enjoy your attitude more than my attitude. When I first started driving, I used to drive an old 47 sterling with a 5 and 3 with a bench seat And a set of doubles. Then the second truck that I ever got, I believe, was a 72-73 freight liner with a 4 by 4. Most people today don't even know how to drive a side by side shift. And then finally, I got to jump into a 1977 Peterbilt, a sweet old thing It had a 13 speed Road Ranger. and that made life a whole lot easier. But I sure would love traveling these trips with you. But my trips are over, and younger men now travel the Eastern Sea Board in the U.S. Enjoy brother.
What an adventure. I know you probably wouldn't use them that often or even have a place to store them on the truck but a set of fork extenders would of made things a bit easier I'd imagine. The company that gave you that load should of let you borrow a set! hahaha.. Thanks for the video!
Wish I could have video'd the 6yr's of adventures I had while trucking in the army with 37th Trans group in West and East Germany, What a time I had,! If you ever run into a Army trucker ask them about the adventure, we had both female and pro truckers some were there long enough to accumulate 100,000 miles and more sure do miss those days and all my soldier brothers and. sisters of the Red Ball Express!! "Semper Rotans"
Good day, callthemall! I knew you could figure it out & complete the job! Excellent job, for sure!! Love watching you drive & work your loads! Thanks for this, have a great day! Cheers! 🥰🥰🦅🦅🦅🦅
Thanks for the great ride along, including the good,bad and ugly! I knew if anyone was going to be able to get out of that Fuster Cluck, you were the man to git'er done!! 🤣 I gotta say, my back side was in full pucker mod the entire time you were trying to get that load off! 😟 😉Time for some fork extensions...
Hey Matt, on loads of insulation board where the operators forks don't go through to the other side of the bundles, I run a 2 inch ratchet strap around the bundles horizontally about a foot up the bundle. Then I toss a 2 inch strap over the top,, hook it to the horizontal strap, and the ratchet end gets hooked to the mast and tightened. Works like a charm
I would be tempted to hook the Moffitt on the back of that trailer in pull that thing out of their backwards, I'm a hillbilly and don't like backing to long,, you're one of the best I've seen young man and I definitely enjoy your videos😂❤

I can see a pair of slippers for the Moffitt in your future. Good job working with what you had and great driving job. You operate well under stress. 👍 👍 👍
As an experiment, when you get home, will the Moffet pick up the front of those trailers and maneuver them around? It would really get you out of some trouble spots if you could just drop the trailers and then use the Moffet to get them out of tight spots. You would probably have to get a special hitch setup custom made..Could you mount a 2 5/16 hitch on the front of the trailer that would not get in the way, and then a bar that would fit on the forks that had a 2 5/16 ball on it. This would be for moving empty trailers, not loaded trailers.
Good job. However, it was possible to try to use the moffet in a slightly different way - as a loader crane. Namely, put two belts under the packet and hang them on the pitchfork. Of course, if the belts are strong enough and can withstand the weight of the packet. At the same time, perhaps it would be necessary to add a counterweight to the moffet.
Yeah if it was me I would advise the customer in writing that they are now 'blacklisted' from my company. There is more to life than just money and profit.
thx for sharing, thou you could invest in some fork extensions for loads like this. Or you could use more straps to go all the way around top and bottom of what you need to secure down to move your loads like this. But great work man always enjoy you working along with showing us on ur journey.
I think after that load you're going to need like some fast food of your choice to release the serotonin to get a happier frame of mind. imo. Or a couple of cold beers your choice!🍺🍺😎
ill add another comment to help with the TH-cam algorithm lol so after watching it all great job getting it done. what i would have done is use two straps, chain it to the lift and since your knots held durring the lift tie them on the other side a few times together. that way you don't have to rely on the cheap pallets or the straps. you are relying on your own straps holding it on. kinda lift it up and sneak one under and one over
the trailers would just tip to the opposite side he was lifting from without fork extensions, and I doubt he wants to drag the gear along the ground as he pushes them into position. He could of lifted from the front but he would be constantly putting them down and repositioning the Moffit probably taking just as long. Maybe less of a stressful headache though.
could possibly get/ build a set of fork extensions and just store them under the Moffit for future stuff like this, 6ft would work just fine for this stuff, they also work for reaching across and sliding pallets closer if you cant unload from both sides. 8fts get to be a pain in the ass
You have some sort of patience, between getting that load off, then having to maneuver those trailers and the truck to get back out. Also on a side note you definitely have some pride of ownership, when a scratch on the trailer bothers you.... Enjoy watching your videos.
Had my first attempt at the AZ practical test. Did great until the 90 degree back up at the very end of the test and I broke the plain (which is an auto fail). Any tips Callthemall? About to retest in July.
when i see someone with a forklift on trailer go into a tight spot for unloading i always think. why not have an adapter so you can turn the trailers around with the Moffet :P
Nicely done, an area like this is when I would prefer a cab over. Not sure if it would have helped enough and could have turned around in that spot and not have to back each trailer out.
Hello Matt can you not get extension forks for your Moffitt it would help they slide into your original forks great work very tight but you are a good truck driver have a good weekend and have a happy July 1 to you and your family Matt here from Ontario Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦😎
@@callthemall Matt how how much weight can the moffit left I worked at C.G.C int in Oakville for a very long time I used to load trucks outside and have to use extension forks most of the time you are the only truck driver I watch I in joyed your video very interesting.
Might work next time with the strap around the top of the forklift mast so as you tilt back the mast will pull on the strap and help hold on to the load, its worked in the past for me so good luck next time !!!
nope! 👁 so board, & should be working! ha..ha.. good show, good show! cottage sounds like the woods! a flatbed & pickup! regard-less. wow! could the new trucks have all electronic shifting? only asking a simple question! wouldn't that be nut's! Ooop! hit loud!

I know right? Such an inconvenience to move his pick up truck for a few minutes. Jeez….

Yep... nowadays motion picture scripts aren't that good. It's a helluva lot better this way!
@@skauffman74 no screenwriter can come up with killer line such as "Don't hurt my antenna!!!"
Matt's next purchase a set of slippers for the Moffett forks
I was going to say the same thing! You beat me too it! 👍😉
Absolutely, slippers, and perhaps you could incorporate those 'eyes' on the fork frame too, for chains?
How about just widening the forks he would have got a whole other foot out of it widthwise
There are people who literally can't back their car into their garage, and watching you back those B-trains is mesmerizing. Like someone else said, I watched this like it was a movie. Awesome!
I think its time to invest in some fork extentions lmao
That's a hell of an adventure. I've been out in the boonies with a tanker, but nothing like that. Big props to you
Love the sound of that truck!
Like your attitude - “you’re missing out in the adventure”. ✅✅✅
i drive a similar setup with drom deck on a daycab 98 Freightliner classic. i haul 54 3x4x8 straw bales locally, I enjoy seeing someone deal with the B-Train life on TH-cam also. thanks for the vid

If that's even possible

Recognized your truck and trains in Guelph about a month ago. I thought to myself “hey that’s a good lookin truck….. hold on, I know that truck!”
25:14 Thank you for thinking to put the wood pieces under the payload to protect it from ground rot. I'm proud of you Calthemall.
if you think polystyrene insulation is going to rot sitting on the ground for a few days, you are looney
Great video Matt,love seeing someone taking on a challenge and getting it done, and that definitely was a good challenge. Great work getting in and out of there,hopefully the load paid well. Stay safe out there my friend and keep the videos coming, catch you on the next one.
one of the best lookin trucks out of Ontario 👌👌👌
Wow. They dont pay you enough brother. Awesome. 👍
Fork extensions are a great thing to have handy. Better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them.

I was over at the Clifford truck show yesterday and expected to see your truck there and meet yea! Where were yeah?!
Busy working away at home!

Great job, as usual. But you should get a premium for these tricky ones other drivers just bail on.
Oh yeah there was a premium for this kind of service!
You're really good with those joints dude.
I love the area, it's like an endless autumn there 🙂
I know what I’m going to watch tonight :)
This load involved a lot of creativity. Many compliments to you. You passed with the highest possible notes.

So one of your next investments is gonna be 2 steel rods where your forks can slide into, so you have some longer forks?
Yep been a few situations where they would have been handy

Could you turn the trailers with the Moffet ?
Exactly my thought

He could of lifted from the front but he would be constantly putting them down and repositioning the Moffit probably taking just as long. Maybe less of a stressful headache though.

So cool, just saw you rolling down the 404 5minutes ago!
I think that it will be good that you get some extension forks...it will help you for your next loads...😉

Matt you could do forklift extension yourself 2x6 rectangular tubing quarter inch thick, taper the ends, hook with chains they want to come off easy
Had my first attempt at the AZ practical test. Did great until the 90 degree back up at the very end of the test and I broke the plain (which is an auto fail). Any tips Callthemall? About to retest in July.
Investing on buying a set of fork extender's might be good idea, you might not use them often, but when you need them they are worth it.
Are those drip edge and plywood?
iowa 80 jubilee , you going ?
Unfortunately not but sounds like fun!
Well done Matt you could’ve been a hospital cause you have lots of patients 😅
when i see someone with a forklift on trailer go into a tight spot for unloading i always think. why not have an adapter so you can turn the trailers around with the Moffet :P
Awesome video my friend ❤
Are both trailers equal length ? How long are they?👍✌
Lead is 28' deck, pup is 32'
That's interesting
I've used the moffett to turn my step deck around before.
Hmm interesting idea!
Great Video Thanks, Greetings from Australia
Straight up Boss!
Nicely done, an area like this is when I would prefer a cab over. Not sure if it would have helped enough and could have turned around in that spot and not have to back each trailer out.
Hello Matt can you not get extension forks for your Moffitt it would help they slide into your original forks great work very tight but you are a good truck driver have a good weekend and have a happy July 1 to you and your family Matt here from Ontario Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦😎
I have 6" wide thin lumber forks so finding extensions are difficult, I may just end up having to build my own!
