G'day Nick & Pop, I real enjoyed your presentation with collar and tye and vests that helps for the customer. Gives a real clean look, and they want some one who is showing respect as a owner driver. God bless you both on your travels.
the reason i like your video is a lot of people dont know the issues a heavy hauler have to deal with. haveing drove a 5 ton wrecker in the Army only but no professional commercial driving this videos are very interesting to me.
You and the other long haul drivers have a hell of a job! I own a heavy haul company in Idaho. I have a 7 axle set up, and With my black route permit I’m good for 150k. 70k per tri axle. I could never get that personally, I can get 66k each group. It’s insane how different states have different laws
I don't have much remarks other than to say that is one impressive rig. It looks as strong as it is. Nice concept attaching the "oversized load" sign to the front of the truck. I always enjoy your videos Nick.
LoL Nick, I think we all realize you are busy. But I will say, what you do upload, is really worth watching if you like trucks like I do. No one can ever say, you wasted their time.
Great video and interesting to see how heavy hauls are done and that’s hard work,but you guys do a great job and looking forward to seeing more videos of what you guys do!!! Safe travels and I’ve always been interested in the realities of heavy haul trucking !! Take care and I’m a new subscriber
Maybe one day all 50 states will have the same weight regs and trucks can run more axles. Seen video of European heavy haulers with those trailers with steerable axles and New Zealand trucks with twin steer front axles. Cool and interesting trucks.
First time here. Love the video. Much nicer than sergie dratchevs heavy haul still. I like that you go more in depth of what is involved in the trucking. Keep it up.
Hi there Nick & Pop from me down here in NewZealand... damn shame about the tarp getting ripped with the fan blades popping through, but I would have thought that the factory / shipper would have used more than just a thick cardboard to cover the blades as from what I have been told they are extremely delicate and the slightest damage can cause balancing issues and also if the blade is deformed enough even end up scratching the housing that it is placed inside of, so more care on their part would not only save your tarps but also protect the blades from potentially very expensive repairs as well... but those are just my thoughts.... Keep up the great work guys and keep driving Kenworth..!! Kind Regards, Carl.
You would certainly think they would take that into consideration, however most companies don't give too much thought to how things are transported. The cardboard was pretty thick, and it wasn't that the blades poked through it, it was that it actually slid down..so, they could definitely have done a bit better, but they made a valiant effort I suppose. Better than when we have to show up and tarp these with the raw fan blades exposed.
Absolutely. It's a small gesture, but one that seems to be being received well thus far. I have tons of friends / family in LE, and they have my utmost respect for the incredibly difficult jobs they do.
I hate deadheading. I will call around my usual suspects to see if they have *ANYTHING* to take in the direction I am heading. I have several freight locator apps that I can use to find something. Even if it's just a few hundred bucks, at least you're getting something. And good luck driving Michigan in the winter with their frost laws. You cannot haul jack shit in that state. If you do happen to get lucky and score a special permit, you will pay *dearly*. Nice setup you have and you seem like a real level headed pro. Not many like you left.
That really sucks with happened to your tarp,i know how you feel,it should be repairable though,any good tarp maker would just section it out .just depends on how much the tarp is worth i suppose ,but we used to cop shit like that all the time when we carted hay back in the 90's.i used to do casual for a tarp maker here in australia and we were forever doing repairs and custom tarps.nice talking to you any ways ,shiny side up bro.
It kinda makes you a little pissed off when you initially see the hole in the tarp, but at the end of the day, the tarps cost very little money in comparison to the money we have made in the loads that we have used them on. It's all a cost of doing business. I learned to quit taking torn tarps personally lol.
Thanks for watching! A.) The difference I suppose, is what your over all length is. When speaking about the stuff we haul, very rarely is it one single piece that takes up the entire trailer, so 48' or 53' doesn't really matter. At times a 53' can be beneficial in reducing the total overhang you have off the trailer, as well as gives you more space to work with when trying to position a piece properly. A.) Weight. Our empty weight is significantly less than that of a comparable 65t RGN. Secondly, the amount of deck space. Your average RGN has between 24-29' of loadable deck space. We have 53'. That can sometimes be all the difference in the world.
Hi Nick I have been driving trucks 21 years. I've been an owner operator owned three trucks none that was capable of pulling heavy haul. I want to get into heavy hau Where do you recommend I startl
Great information and video! Until I saw the Thin Blue Line. I don't know why anyone would want to publicly condone the abuse of power that it represents. By The "Band of Brothers" watching out for each other and giving special privilege. Fair treatment should be given to one at all, not just their co-workers.
I usually run in state, mainly equipment. But I do love y'alls flatbeds. What is the total capacity for the 5 axle ignoring law? And can you sting it? I'm running an oil field hrn that's good for 100 tons, assuming I have a jeep and a stinger
Ignoring law, we could get upwards of 150,000 on the deck of that trailer. It's so stout. But, given the states we run, we'd never be able to permit that legally.
Red Bluesome there are other angles to consider, they work regularly with police, shows appreciation in that regard. More importantly, they are less likely to get a ticket!
Keep the videos coming, I come from the hydratail and low bed world so it's cool to see heavy shit on the skateboard. Any plans to ever swap to an 18 speed ? I'm also crossing my fingers hoping you guys delete your truck and let her breathe
Not on this truck, though my next truck will certainly have an 18spd. Not that it's needed all the time, but it'd be nice to have the option of splitting a couple of the lower gears.
I'm just askin here man, no offence here just never seen it before, but why are u all dressed up as a trucker??? I'm guessing that's the way u have to present yourself to the customer, am I right or wrong?
Yeah. It's our way of showing that we go 10 steps further than anyone else they'll encounter. Could be considered a gimmick, I suppose, but it works for us. Secondly, we hope to raise the bar a little bit. Trucking will never be a white collar job, but at the end of the day, if a few more drivers better their businesses by dressing nicer, then we've left the industry a tad better than we found it.
@Michael Cheyne something wrong with being presentable? As a professional driver myself, I can't stand seeing other drivers pulling up to a customer wearing torn track pants and dirty shirts. If we want to call ourselves professionals, we should look the part too...
Wow .. Your support of Law enforcement ? Really Bro ? Would that be the law enforcement that gun's down unarmed American's Or the Law enforcement that kill's the family dog while in it's own front yard ? Hey Pal I would have a whole bunch more respect & support for Law enforcement if we weren't being scrutinized to the tenth degree each time we step out our front door .. Now if they were to hold Wall Street up to the same scrutiny they would certainly have my support & respect .. But it appear's they have NO interest in who is actually looting & plundering the American people into near poverty which in fact has directly led to more harm to more American family's than ANY & ALL public sector crime's & DWI's in the last 100 yr's .. They got Bonuses for committing the biggest Heist in American history while we can't get down the street without a seatbelt on without instant Law enforcement attention .. So NO Bro.. I'm sorry ... I don't respect Law enforcement and certainly DO NOT support them ..It make's me sick to think you will see a kid under arrest in the back seat of a patrol car for stealing a candy bar from Walmart But the Banking cartel can loot the nation into poverty and they not only get bailed out with tax payer dollar's but are allowed to keep the Bonus check's they handed eachother while they did it ...Make's Me SICK to my stomach

Thank you sir!
great video and again its nice to see professional drivers ....... to many drivers do not care any more
Thanks!
Popped up in "Suggested" feed today. Hope you're doing well, Nick & Pops.
You all put on a great presentation with clean equipment and dress for success
Miss my heavy haul days. My heaviest load I have ever carried was a 105,000 pound grant block. Plus a 23,000 peterbelt plus a 20,000+ trailer.
the reason i like your video is a lot of people dont know the issues a heavy hauler have to deal with. haveing drove a 5 ton wrecker in the Army only but no professional commercial driving this videos are very interesting to me.
Glad you like them!
Love the blue-line front sign!

Love the blue stripe in todays world great to see the respect to law enforcement. Great videos enjoy watching them.
Absolutely. Love our boys / girls in blue. Thanks for watching.
first trucker i ever saw wearing a TIE!!!!
Raising the bar!
william hale Yeah me too, i wonder what’s up with that
First time here. Love the video. Much nicer than sergie dratchevs heavy haul still. I like that you go more in depth of what is involved in the trucking.
Keep it up.
Stuff** not still.
Thank you, glad to hear you like them. I'll keep going as in depth as possible.
Nice video. I pull flatbed and step decks with Roehl Transportation.
That is some beautiful equipment! !!
Thank you!
Great info, since I’m getting into OW, OW, and specialized!
Dude you were my squad leader when I was with the 173rd TAC!
best heavy haul stuff out there☺...great videos ,great stuff..keep it up
Thanks!!

That temporary floor covering shit made of cardboard works good for covering sharp corners and whatever
Good quality content. Liked and subscribed.
Thank you!
Nice.
Good luck to youre new jobb.
Should get a 2-4 inch raised fifth wheel so you don't have to take your fenders off!
Lol. That's been on our to do list for a while, we have just always found something better to do.
That a very cool way to show support for all the Men and Women in Law Enforcement
Absolutely. It's a small gesture, but one that seems to be being received well thus far. I have tons of friends / family in LE, and they have my utmost respect for the incredibly difficult jobs they do.
Michael Cheyne you’re a dickhead. Just sayin

looks neat ... good luck
Thanks!
You are an inspiration to me I’m looking to get into trucking and cypress is my choice what do you think of them.
Great vid ,
Thanks!
How come all your videos are 3 or 4 years ago?
That's one big pumpkin
Lol. Yessir. I agree.
That really sucks with happened to your tarp,i know how you feel,it should be repairable though,any good tarp maker would just section it out .just depends on how much the tarp is worth i suppose ,but we used to cop shit like that all the time when we carted hay back in the 90's.i used to do casual for a tarp maker here in australia and we were forever doing repairs and custom tarps.nice talking to you any ways ,shiny side up bro.

Your in Kennesaw? I'm in Stone Mountain.
Didnt know y'all were form Kennesaw. Shit i live down the street but i just do occasional hotshot loads.
Yep. Live right over by McCullum field.
Whats with the tie ???
Cool Video's!
Q.) Is a 48ft. flatbed trailer better than a 53ft.?
Q.) What's the advantage of a 4-axle flatbed over an RGN trailer?
Thanks for watching!
A.) The difference I suppose, is what your over all length is. When speaking about the stuff we haul, very rarely is it one single piece that takes up the entire trailer, so 48' or 53' doesn't really matter.

Hi Nick I have been driving trucks 21 years. I've been an owner operator owned three trucks none that was capable of pulling heavy haul. I want to get into heavy hau
Where do you recommend I startl
Great information and video!

use 200 mile per hr tape it really does it s job
hey I live next to the loves on the other side of i10. Pretty cool!
lol
Hey haven't seen any videos in long time what's up?
I always leave mine on even when I'm not loaded, I don't know why you say you can't leave it exposed...
Wire the tie on you look like you are going for job interview.
i think its an addiction like cocaine but i love seeing a truck with a a 4th drop axle or the trailers
Hey man watch behind you I think I see a Swift
i know right where you are picking up the trailer at i live about 3 miles from there.
I'm sure you've seen Joe ramming about then at some point! Red KW.
The tractors front license plate will be covered up when the Oversized Load sign is folded down. Will that be a problem?
from what i saw the license plate was hanging and the sign will be the same exact measurement as the bumper. All he has to do is flip it over.
That is correct. The sign remains in the exact same position, it simply flips and displays the image of the reversed side.
The sign does not fold down it flips around. Sign will be in the same place.
I wish I could get 80,000 on 4 axles, but I live in Texas.
Yep. That's the problem we run into going out that way. TX / OK / AR won't give that kind of weight. Sucks.
I usually run in state, mainly equipment. But I do love y'alls flatbeds. What is the total capacity for the 5 axle ignoring law? And can you sting it? I'm running an oil field hrn that's good for 100 tons, assuming I have a jeep and a stinger
Ignoring law, we could get upwards of 150,000 on the deck of that trailer. It's so stout. But, given the states we run, we'd never be able to permit that legally.
I wonder how much that load paid him.probably $20,000 or better
Thin blue line crap, cops support themselves plenty without you doing it. Question is, does law enforcement support truckers?
Red Bluesome there are other angles to consider, they work regularly with police, shows appreciation in that regard. More importantly, they are less likely to get a ticket!
So how can I get into the game any help please
What happened to nick
Hey what's Joe's channel you're referring to? I may be having a blonde moment but I can't come across it.

You're awesome! Thanks!

smart move, it definitely make u look more professional that the average trucker
Great videos, for new specialized ppl!
Nick Mordaunt makes sense I will do better in the future as far as dressing better. Glad I came across this comment.
@Michael Cheyne something wrong with being presentable? As a professional driver myself, I can't stand seeing other drivers pulling up to a customer wearing torn track pants and dirty shirts. If we want to call ourselves professionals, we should look the part too...
come home let's get some fries!!!
Done, done and done. Omw, fam!
Bet!
BACK THE BLUE
You damn right!
