Hello Nick,
Good to see you again. Imagine it is a little aggravating when the customer doesn't have the correct weights and measurements on their loads. The new flag looks good. Happy to see the Battleship is pulling well for you. Got to love having the trouble where you were, and not in the middle of nowhere, Keep keeping it real Bro, say hello to Pops. Cheers to you and all your subscribers! Peace.
It's slightly aggravating, but it happens so often that we've gotten pretty used to it. We always pad our permits for extra weight, just for that reason...unfortunately, this thing was just SO much heavier than expected, there wasn't anything we could do.
I worked for a crane company driving truck. I also after a few years was one who stayed on site till the crane was in the air or loaded all out. I would be the one take the house part on the larger cranes. I would take the tracks and everything on the 80 ton crawlers. knock the boom out and counter waight off and roll with it. I will have to say again I like the way you go into detail on your videos so peaple know what your talking about keep up the great work my friend
Thank you!
Great vid really informative tks so much
Thanks for watching!
The track is a little more then the one you hauled before and a little bigger then the tracks you hauling now.
That is a great habit to keep an eye on your Battle Ship just to make sure its running like it started. Smooth.
The problem wasn't the weight, it was Texas. But yeah, it was bigger than the last one we did for sure.
Texas weight law wanted you to have more wheels on the ground to balance the weight?
Would you ever consider putting a 5th axle on the trailer? Or would it not get used enough to make it worthwhile? I'm assuming you would lose some storage space on the trailer doing that.
We've talked about it, but I don't have any desire to, personally.
great videos man I really enjoy them! so how many trucks did it take to move that whole crane?
I didn't see all the loads, but I heard it was somewhere around 40(?) Don't quote me on that, but it's a big freaking crane. Lol
Never a dull moment .. good video, interesting looking structure at 11:15 I wonder where that could be :)
If I recall correctly it used to be an old restaurant or something. It was totally dilapidated.
Nick, you and Pops have the job I can only dream of having, be safe and great videos..... Mike
Best thing about dreams, is they can be reached!
Man Texas is a beautiful state!!! Anyways, I love watching these videos!! Keep'em comin!!!!
It is! When the wind isn't blowing, and it's not miserably hot lol.
I'm glad Battleship is back in working order. I must apologize for the unnecessary post on FB. TH-cam didn't advise me of the new video.
No worries. For some reason, TH-cam has changed some of their settings and people aren't getting notified. Check your notification settings and make sure you UN check the box that says "occasionally notify me".
Nick Mordaunt I just checked and we're good to go. Thank you.
Y'all have beautiful equipment.
very cool stuff man love the vids
Thanks!
Is that cabover still running with you guys? I saw him 1 night in Houston, a tri axle cabby
He is. He's off doing his thing up north somewhere. That's not the cabover with our group though, our cabover is a 5 axle.
true but i pull aluminum trailers but wrap chains around the rub rail and they dont say a word about it
They might not, but someday you're going to get the DOT officer who is going to cut all your 1/2" chain securement value down, and you'll end up on the hook for a huge, undersecured load ticket.
yea true it does depend on the officer i think next time im going to double check with them to make sure ill let ya no
Video is awesome brother and please shoot while running on the road ...really appreciate it
I think I remember you. Had a video several years ago about the niche 4 axle flt market.
Is Lenny the guy I've seen in one of your past videos with the blue cabover International?
No, the blue cabover belongs to Dustin. Think I have 2 videos showing his rig. 1 with a 90,000lb crane track, and one with a 75,000lb pressure vessel I think.
i wish i had known u came down 85 south I'm guessing thru spartanburg i would have been on the lookout,since this fine road construction with lane closures i have been staying on secondary roads as much as possible
Lol, wish we could take secondary roads to avoid that crap, but nope. Can't be off route!
I think i saw Lenny going west just south of Nashville. I was going east so didn't get a good look.
Ah, yep, that was for sure him! Maybe you'll get a better look next time.
your videos are awesome , keep it up and be safe out there
Thank you, will do.
New sub, looking forward to catching up on all videos. Informative info..
ALFREDO Lopez awesome, man. welcome to the channel! Thanks for subscribing!
Could you add a flip axle to make your trailer a five axle when needed
Nick, can you show any of the permit you ordered there in TX ? ;)
For what?
OH just permit you got for going through TX. It's all good, just curious how it looks these days :)
What was your first truck?
2007 Freightliner Coronado
Thanks for the reply, keep up the good work!
@NickMordaunt I had a bad accident last year which ended in a rollover. Are there any company's you know of that I could possibly work with. thanks in advance.
I'm assuming since you're asking, it was an at-fault accident?
Nick Mordaunt yes I was the only party involved. the right steer tire blew as I was changing lanes. and I went into a guard rail doing 65 and down a hill side ways into a tree. the company put me at fault because they said it was a preventable accident.
I gotcha. I'm sure most companies have a policy involving at-fault accidents, but unfortunately, I'm probably not the best person to ask. I would recommend just calling the recruiting department of a bunch of companies. See what they have to say, because every company has different guidelines.
Thanks for the response and I'll do that
right down the street from my house shoot keep trucken Nick
Maybe next time!
How many mpg do you usually get on that truck
Guess it depends. We got 5.5mpg on this load. Empty we're in the mid 9's.
That flag is effin awesome and yes Merica!!
Fuck yea!
Thats kind of embarrassing that the crane rental company told you the wrong weight of their own equipment. LOL
I think the disconnect came from the company that actually was responsible for setting up the shipping of them. The guys at the yard seemed to know that the track was way heavier than our paperwork said.
that would explain it. I used to drive for a crane rental company, and we hauled everything ourselves. After a while you start to memorize exactly what every piece of the equipment weighed. And whether or not you needed to run through the woods on the way to the next job ;)
great video
Thanks!
Hi Guys...A piece of cake right !!!! Looked easy, ha ha !!!! Stay safe !!!!
Lol, could have been worse!
when yall were in texas, what city were yall in?
Bishop.
Aways get a bit worried when I see a big crane in the middle crop field. Look likes they are erecting wind generators?
That they are. Pretty big wind farm site.
Great Video, love the flag
That it is, thank you!
Oh and pics if you got them Nick?
Of?
Of your first truck you were in. Cant imagine it was better than the Battleship. Thanks
It sound like you need to move though back boxes up front and put another axil on that trailer.
Wouldn't be a straight 5 axle group like Lenny's trailer, but options have been talked about.
So this entire crane is assembled and taken apart on site to relocate
Correct.
Nick Mordaunt that's cool. How long does it take to assemble. That's interesting
I'm sure you've heard it before, but I like that you guys dress like professionals. So few of us do out here. I will admit to not bringing a tie on the road though lol.
Thank you! It's not about the tie, it's about stepping it up to be just a cut above the rest. That's what the important thing is.
Since you guys deal with brokers through Landstar, that professional look and being a cut above the rest is integral on getting the calls out of the blue of "hey guys, I have this great load, wondering if you were interested" as well.
Nice!!! (Thanks)
Thank you.
I've done the same thing to a 60k coil 10 chains lol
Can never have enough!
I've loaded a few of those. 750 metric ton crane.
And that crane is not good for 860 us ton set up like that. Too much boom
Well, you'll have to take that up with the operator. He's the one that gave me the numbers.
I don't have to take it up with the operator that info is available straight from leibherr. I've worked with quite a few leibherr cranes that model included
Kyle Vanwinkle like I said, take it up with the operator. I didn't pull that figure out of thin air, the guy running the crane gave me that number.
Where ya heading too?
Next load is from Galveston(?)
Your in Texas? Come on through Austin I want to see that rig. Watch those skunks (Texas highway patrol)
We're down in El Campo for the weekend. Loading in Galveston on Monday.
I can't stand driving anywhere near Houston, be safe.
MERICA
You know it.
What happened to Nick Mordaunt? I haven’t seen a video less than a year ago.
I got out of trucking to get into Law Enforcement. Truck is still on the road, my dad is driving it full time solo now.
I think you should be using 1/2 inch chain instead of 3/8 nick would be safer but i do enjoy the videos
It'd be useless. DOT will not grant full rating for 1/2" chains on an aluminum trailer. The trailer tie down points are only rated for 6,600#'s. Which means that's the most rating I could get. Remember, your rating is based off of the lowest rated piece of equipment. All it would be for us is added weight we're carrying around.
Why no new videos
nice end to the video!
Thanks!
Pretty cool video. I hate riding on the passenger side, don't that bother you?
Would have been a cool video of the engine repair all by it's self if the mechanic would leave you film his every move?
Doesn't bother me one bit. There wasn't a big deal. Pull off the 8 bolts, replace the rubber gasket, put on the 8 bolts and check for leaks. Would have been a boring video on its own.
That is very cool Nick, different strokes for different strokes. Perhaps in your position working with your Pop, I'd feel the same way. I worked with my PoP when we started our Machine Shop together and they were the best 5 years of any job I ever had, including eventual ownership when PoP retired. I understand about the valve cover, we depend on you to make these judgement calls as to what content your video has. However, for me, I could spend at least 20 minutes just staring at the motor LoL.
who ate the flag.. it's gone in the end
I took it down because the flag had become unserviceable. It'll be up again as soon as we have a new flag.
Okay, I gotta ask. What's up with the truck passing everyone at 11:35? It doesn't look like a four lane. Was he just being an impatient dick? (I drive in Atlanta daily. That's always my first go to reasoning.)
You know it.
Yeah, he was passing because we slowed down so much to make the turn. Everyone's got somewhere important to be these days.
class 2 or 3 leak? you need to circle x that shit airborne!
Haha. Class "yo, clean that shit up and don't tell anyone you seen it, or we're never getting out of here, private."
