I watched 2 compressors going through Perryton TX, they were probably 100,000 pounds+ it was interesting to watch them go by. They had done it before, they made it look easy.
22,000 volts welding the boat to the trailer??? I saw the aftermath of a concrete pump boom contacting a 137,000 volt power line. The biggest visual destruction was from the carbon in the rubber conducted enough electricity to melt the 10 tire treads where they contacted the ground. The tires were still holding air the following day. Nothing was welded and damage to the electrical system on the concrete pump wasn't significant. I'm having trouble on figuring out how 22,000 volts would blow out 62 tires.

Cheers mate, there's so much that goes into making sure heavy cargo like this is transported safely and securely, love seeing the appreciation for that
Years ago at the west bound scale in Cheyenne, WY I saw an oversize load with 6 tractors hooked to it. One of the drivers said it weighed 2.5 million pounds. He also said they were limited to 25mph and couldn't cross any bridges.
I was chasing wanting to have a crack at road trains but I think I rather specialise in heavy oversized haulage anyone can run freight but to specialise in a specific field such as oversized loads, that not all can do I think is a better road for me.
Tv show Driver -this guy better watch out its going to be super close Rival trucker - i better get over way in advance so the heavy hauler can come through
Yo props to that truck for hauling all that heavy and massive stuff! A normal Peterbilt 389 wouldn't be able to handle it and all the other workers Good job and have a good day
Welcome to my world in construction. Nothing EVER matches the drawings, especially when they’re drawn up blueprints by an architect! People who design and draw these things most often have no experience whatsoever with the real world! But that’s what makes us blue collar guys so great is that we know how to adapt and overcome despite whatever setbacks come along! Get’r done baby! 🇺🇸💪👊
820 km. In 48 hours. That's just another 14 hour day around my part. 500 and some odd miles just a daily chore. The announcer makes it sound like a hard task to achieve.
I dont know jack about hauling, and i hardly know anything about big trucks like this, im a car guy, so i dont really speak the trucker lingo but this all looks intense, im just here for the trucks themselves
You fellas and your equipment are top notch and so professional. As a trucker that moves heavy stuff in Alberta Canada I love your work. GREAT job fellas 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
What some people fail to realize that there are also risks when it comes to Heavy Haul not to mention you guys have to follow the rules of the dots Department of Transportation
its actualy quit common in some places. Due to lack of space and multi use, many people Build their Boat Yards and Working hangars some hundret feet away. Normaly thats an easy distance to clear if you have the correct equipment and the boat isnt a fully yacht. The Catamaran was special because it had the size and weight that normal equipment couldnt carry
John is running a wonderful piece of gear. Big dollars on his equipment. I would faint at what he pays for insurance. His fuel bill would be a kick in the gut also.. I think trucking would be a lot like racing. If you want to make a little money racing, start with a lot of money! I have not seen anything cheap in this video money wise. Big deadlines and loads of responsibility.... Mistakes are huge and costly!! Then you meet an idiot like the one in the other tractor & trailer. Won't move, I guess that is why you bring the police with you! Let the PD deal with this road hog!! Great video...............
Gotta agree with ya - trucking isnt a cheap industry to be in, lots of money and sacrifices to make. One wrong mistake can be detrimental to a business too! You have to have a strong passion for it, and plenty of patience as well
Not a trucker myself but shouldn.t that bulldozer the 911T be on that trailer backwards? That shovel is pushing directly into the air causing loss of speed and using more diesel. Reversing it would be more "aero dynamic" so to speak. Just my observation.
Not a bad observation, we've seen it done both ways but lots of folks out there definitely say reversing it onto a trailer is best 🤔 Would love to hear what anyone else thinks? Were these fellas right or wrong to load the bulldozer facing front ways?
@@UltimateTruckers Depends on the exact load/trailer type etc, having the blade forwards can put more weight on the tongue of the trailer, and driving wheels, as well as providing more traction.
@@UltimateTruckers as we dont use trailers like the yanks do its safer to driver the up forward i have moved a few in my day and im a truck drive machine opp from skid steers to loaders to crains diggers dumptrucks pritty much anything with wheels and tracks this stuff that john is moving in your clips is tiny shit up port headland west australia a few years back they where moving steel frames for the mines that where 9meters wide 5 to 6 m tall and 60m long and it wasnt just 1 or 2 it went on for months sorry but people like you that post these vids on fb dont have a clue when it comes to big moves bit time trucking right now i drive a super quad on a mine site truck is 60m long 4 trailers and there is 40tonne per trailer 10 to 11 trips a day moving iron ore john was a baby mover compared to heavy haulage in west aus
Cheers for all the info mate! We're definitely still wrapping our heads around it all, learning more every day from good folk like you. Wanna get there one day!
I would’ve came back later because it would cost more for you to move and stop the roadwork than it would the business that or the company just cause you got permits for two months don’t mean nothing that construction was on the books for years
Started watching what could be a good video but with all the bullshit about what could to wrong, disaster ect it puts me off. If you can't drive a truck without disaster at every corner I suggest you change jobs ffs.
What's the heaviest load you've ever delivered?
you are telling me that thing hauls 40 metric tones? time marker 15:00
Several 100k.... oil rigs sections....
We haul 30+ loads every 24hrs averaging a gross scale weight of 450,000lbs at Red Dog mine, one truck, Western Star 6900
Heaviest load I ever pulled was my next door neighbor
I guess is if your just graduating out of a sand play box
Surprised Caseoh isn't on this list
You think you are funny lil bro??? Ha??? congrats quz you are indeed funny 😊

Some of these truckers really do make it all seem so easy hey. Serious inspiration for us
40 + Ton crusher ! With a used up 86 Mack with a 300 and a quad box tyranny ! Heavey man !
Bro knows their distance PER litre hauling that dozer ….. crazy
It'd be costing a pretty penny thats for sure!
It’s simple math.
It's absolutely mind-blowing to see the sheer weight and size of these trucking hauls!
Gobsmacking hey! Just goes to show no load is too big or too small for a truck to haul

I agree with you man, and not only that, the circuit breakers ob the power lines will trip and prevent more damage ffom occuring.
Don't forget weld the boat to the trailer 😂

Guten Abend,bin regelrecht beeindruckt. Danke für Video. Fahre Heavy haul 50 Tons to 90 Tons
This show is overly dramatic ohhh. Ahhhh
Yeah… it’s a tv show…
True! But i like how the Aussies just rip each other to pieces... 😂
@@Rosk03 that’s it haha
@@Rosk03but I gotta say they got big brass balls!!
What is the show
New drinking game... Every time the dude, John, in the last clip says "at the end of the day..." take a shot.... you will get hammered xD
Wouldn't get past episode 1! Haha
Highest respect for all you guys do. Safety is always first. Great team effort.

2.5 million pounds is a colossal load! The trucker would definitely have earned himself a cold beer after that haul
I was chasing wanting to have a crack at road trains but I think I rather specialise in heavy oversized haulage anyone can run freight but to specialise in a specific field such as oversized loads, that not all can do I think is a better road for me.
Specialisation can definitely come with a bunch of benefits. Which ones draw you to oversized loads specially?
@@UltimateTruckers probably an ego thing 🤣 mines bigger then yours.
Jon looks like Peter Dutton 😂
Tv show Driver -this guy better watch out its going to be super close
Rival trucker - i better get over way in advance so the heavy hauler can come through
302,000lbs transformer, 198,000 lbs nacelle units for wind turbines.
😮😮😮
amazing those truckers can do anything.
they are true leggends behind the wheel
Crazy how they move heavy loads of that size aye! Takes major skills and knowledge
Great show we could learn alot from it
Great to hear bud! They have a lot of skills and knowledge, are you in the industry yourself?
New sub acquired i love these kinds of shows
Cheers mate! Glad to have you onboard
Just when I thought it couldn’t get more Australian, they compare the weight to utes🤣
The Aussie measuring system hahah
Yo props to that truck for hauling all that heavy and massive stuff! A normal Peterbilt 389 wouldn't be able to handle it and all the other workers Good job and have a good day

Well how are your loads, because maybe he’s saying 820km with the loads they have in this vid idk
Big, hardy days 💪 Where do you do your hauls?
I dont know jack about hauling, and i hardly know anything about big trucks like this, im a car guy, so i dont really speak the trucker lingo but this all looks intense, im just here for the trucks themselves
These trucks are a different beast entirely!
You fellas and your equipment are top notch and so professional. As a trucker that moves heavy stuff in Alberta Canada I love your work. GREAT job fellas 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Cheers mate! The fellas truly are top notch. Are you out on the oil/gas out there?
@@UltimateTruckers yes I am
In the 🇺🇸 we move heavy equipment on lowboy trailers 💪 they sit low to the ground and makes the load alot more stable
Thats smart! Makes the cargo easier to load too. How long have you been in the transport industry for?
What some people fail to realize that there are also risks when it comes to Heavy Haul not to mention you guys have to follow the rules of the dots Department of Transportation
Theres always a risk when hauling a huge load that size - lots of preparation and planning needed!
Wtf? Everyone on the road has to follow DOT... all driving has hazards. You're talking them up without saying anything at all!
I'm tired of hearing the GEICO gecko lizard.
What's up with Dave's and his short shorts!!??? Lol!!!! Wow 👌 nice
there is a thing called a jinker witch is a trailer for trucks made to hall very big boats
Good point! Is that what you would have used to haul the big catamaran?
Why anyone would want to play chicken with a D11 is beyond me, you're gonna lose.
And lose bad!
Good job
Not bad ey! Do you work in the industry?
I see truck drivers deal with the same stupidity of agencies not communicating around the world.
as a whole unit it has to be a brand new D11 between two suncor oil sand pits in fort mack, alberta, canada
Wow that was crazy
Pretty darn amazin hey! Just goes to show trucks can haul anything
I saw the lenses for the Hubble telescope come thru Pennsylvania USA on a trailer that had over 100 wheels.
Thats amazing! What a cool load to see. And now that lens is out there in space!
amazing those truckers are leggends
they can deal with such cargos so they can do anithyng
Total truckin legends! Which one did ya reckon was most impressive?
Port of Melbourne to Jabiru in Darwin 3800 kiiometers South to North Australia .
My boss would still make me tarp it.
Can't believe you guys are still using walky talkies instead of the new headset technology where you can hear everyone
This is 10+ year ago
Idk about semi trucks like that what kind of engine is in the first truck hauling the catamaran
Who puts a boat yard somewhere that needs a land journey to get the boat to water?

up port headland west australia a few years back they where moving steel frames for the mines that where 9meters wide 5 to 6 m tall and 60m long and it wasnt just 1 or 2 it went on for months
sorry but people like you that post these vids on fb dont have a clue when it comes to big moves bit time trucking
right now i drive a super quad on a mine site truck is 60m long 4 trailers and there is 40tonne per trailer 10 to 11 trips a day moving iron ore
john was a baby mover compared to heavy haulage in west aus

there is always another problem pfffff
Brett Australians are plenty
If the boat touches the powerlines it'll "Blow every tire on the trailer" is this true or BS?
Since the powerlines are high voltage, I reckon youd definitely get some serious damage if the boat touched them. Better to be safe than sorry!
Let's call Iron Man
I AM IRON MAN!
Heaviest load I’ve done was 1kg
I like the trailer what is the make and model of the trailer?
Drake platform. Come in multiple axle groups. Most common is 7x8
"Rival Trucker" ...really, there's such a thing as truckers seeking road superiority and are out for blood over one another!?!? haha ha!
Wait, you mean fellas aren't out there battling it to the death with each other hahah! Fair play
@@UltimateTruckers I know right?! Struck me as a silly thing to say a "rival trucker" is coming the other way down the road. haha
One wrong gear change the gearbox will blow up
Why is a boat yard inland it should be next to the sea, a clerical error cost so much money did somebody get sacked?
It is near the water..
I wouldn't call 3 tries nailing it.
Passing with beige colours perhaps instead? 😅
Why do they DRAMATIZE these videos SOOOO MUCH! If those power line guys didn’t de-energize and re-route those power lines they should be “fried”.
Its a real shame john lost most of it i realy liked him his company the trucks of course i realy hoped hed make it!!
These accents would be too heavy even for these trucks🤠
yes this guy is the worst

More hha ..
Sure is - are you a fan of the show?
2:36 wtf?
auzzie tv is so much better than american
Really has that element of actual 'reality' tv!
Only men can get this done ✅👍
Australia accent T_T
Aussie accents are the best huh?
The voice over commentary is insufferable.
I see the negative forces are out again pathetic people don't what their talking about. LEAVE TO THE EXPECTS
One flash and you are ash
Started watching what could be a good video but with all the bullshit about what could to wrong, disaster ect it puts me off. If you can't drive a truck without disaster at every corner I suggest you change jobs ffs.
