It's crazy how good this man is at moving this big of a load. This is one of the people that I believe should get their own tv show. I would probably watch it non-stop.
This might be the most American thing ever. Kudos to everyone who worked to get this job done safely, smoothly, and on schedule. True Americans, all of you.
Thanks for the excellent video! I am an investor in a logistics company that only hauls over-dimensional, over-weight cargo. The longest trailer (Fontaine) can take a 95,000 load without a jeep or stinger. The tractor is a 2003 Kenworth with a CAT 15L CX under the hood. I think we would need a CAT 16L engine to do what you do. The tractor has four axles, the first rear axle is steerable and liftable. Works well and we have six owner-operator sub-contractors working with us - thank goodness. We moved a Sikorsky S76 CC helicopter but had to use two trucks. The wheels on the bird are so small that we could not put the crated blades under it - not to mention the crate was 32' long. But what fun!!! I don't drive, too old and have post-polio syndrome. I handle the finances and invest; after all it was my son in law's dream and he is like a blood son. The model we built attracts drivers and we have a bunch of veterans. I will put in one requirement: wear a baseball cap that shows your branch of service! Drive safely and may God bless you.
Rocky The Car Pup yep some species of wood even have interlocking grain like elm. Most Trees main weakness is its grain being easy to split apart. Tension and compression strength of most of them is insane tho.
@@chrishall6367 you're thinking of a big haul truck, that truck sitting there weighs like 120k lbs. What he said was he's grossin 200,000 lbs (truck, trailer, haul truck combo, meaning his truck trailer jeep and buggy weigh around 80k lbs). That weight class of haul truck is kinda considered to be the biggest transportable ones. Anything bigger and your hitting everything and wider then 2 lanes. And ya gotta have a ton of axles. And take the machine apart
I am completely blown away with this video. Seeking all the prep that goes into just one move. But not just that the most important being the constant communication and the team work and a whole lot of trust in each other. Great job guys I really enjoyed the video.

*This machine has an uncanny ability to anticipate my needs. It's like having a personal assistant that not only understands but also adapts to my work style, making each project uniquely mine.*
Backing that jeep up to reconnect the lo-boy part of the trailer together takes skill. Those things can be a bear to align and hook back up. I pulled a Talbert w/out the jeep, it was pull straight forward, then back straight up, this man has skill!
Kailin Gassett It’s not the truck drivers fault the factories decided to start producing automatics and companies started to buy them. Steering wheel holders have one less thing to do while trucking.
I usually hate machine videos with music - but everything about this video was dope: varrying camera angles, the lovely elderly experienced driver and his perspective and explanation of things, his American Texas-like English, communication over walkie talkies and all... Thumbs up guys
That 777 on that schnabbel trailer roles and turns like a ship. It really loves to roll. Good thing you have a good pilot and navigator for that highway ship.
I have hauled alot of oversized loads through new york city up to 14ft wide which is tough but I am really impressed how you guys handled this load great job guys
BA from Az. A 777 is a tinker toy compared to a 797 cat. It takes a semi flatbed just to haul the radiator.the dump bed is thirty feet wide, and a semi flatbed can only haul four unmounted tires without being overloaded. The tires are twelve ft. Seven inches tall and four feet wide. So a 777 is a baby.oh yea the price of a 797 cat is $5,ooo,ooo.oo as of 2018.
@catmodelt I am just a kid, but even I know that you made some spelling mistakes. For example you said 'real trucker,' instead of 'reel trucker.' And you said 'their own trucks,' instead of 'there own trucks.' I guess I'm going to be a better trucker than you are when I grow up!
I'm getting my CDL in two more weeks. I watched some truck videos for help with techniques, and now TH-cam is recommending me more truck videos. I can't help but watch them. I think I've found the career for me.
This has got to be one of the best heavy haul videos I have watched on TH-cam. I really liked that you filmed virtually the entire process of the move.
I just started binge watching your videos, and they have been helping me understand rigs a lot more. I'm currently in schooling to learn to drive to earn my Class A, so far I'm 2 months in. I'm loving it so far, can't wait to actually start truckin'!
this guy made a good living moving heavy equipment . the company i work for started as a small operation . guy bought land in the 1950's cleared it for development . bought navel barracks that were being auctioned off around the same time period . had himself a complex of duplexes .. he started off moving houses made some money an figured he could use his skill an do more than point a to point b. .. Mr H. passed away last year he split his remaining properties between his kids an grandson . I now work for his grandson . goes to show hard work can make you wealthy . just have to be smart
I sure do miss it I did it. for years then in April 2007 with the same load you have one right now I crossed over I10 from LA to TX and had a stroke on top of the bridge. and that was the end of my driving days
Most I've hauled was around 80 tons gross, about 160.000 pounds, a Cat 350L excavator, with a MAN 33.463 6x6 with a 16 speed Eaton-Fuller, a tandem axle jeep and 5 axle low-bed. Heavy-hauling is great.
I hauled a minding excavator 15'1 tall 14 wide on 13axles. Been doing heavy haul about 20yrs now. This guy ran this cat dump so smooth makes me wanna go get re-education 😆
Jordan farrar Nope. You have a gearbox. Torque is useful when you start rolling. Even though you don't need that much. To pull that load it's enough a 300 hp engine with 1500 to 2000 Nm of torque. The weakest truck engine can do it.
Let us not forget, as we flip through our phones and stare at our computer screens, that so much of our economy still depends on the simple but backbreaking job of moving heavy things from Point A to Point B...and how well and willingly guys like this are doing it, every day.
I had a contract hauling oil and water storage tanks for oil field. We were 18 ft tall every day. 16.6 wide. I thought that was stressful, round tank on a flat trailer haha. That Cat 777 is 160,000 lbs heavier. The crown in the road is NOT your friend with that kind of weight. Respect.
This is what I hate about trucking. It’s classed as a non skilled job according to the government definition ( which is poorly written if you ask me, to be skilled job it must take more than 30 days of training to be classed as skilled ) This job is highly skilled job. Any idiot can see that.
But lawmakers make laws for professions they have only a vague idea about. Truck driving takes months of training and experience; sure, it is a skilled job by any sane definition.

I'm always giving them respect on the road, the right of way and all. Everything I own comes off the back of a truck 🚚
This isn't just driving; it's a combination of engineering, bravery, and sheer determination. Incredible!
Much respect to these drivers.
Those real axles have seen better days for sure
The guy mounting the tire was an artist.
Rotating wheel on mounting and rotating are two different things
Also he wasn't mounting he was removing the tire.
Pretty easy with the right tools. My father in law works in the tire shop at Rio Tinto, Kennicott copper mine in salt lake city.
So you're one of those ppl who thinks vomiting paint on a canvas or putting sprinkles on shit is art
@@spoda81 What do you think he had to do later in the video if he removed the tire in the beginning? Mount it back on you moron.

Hows the TMC pay ?
Drove the CAT for 2 years it really felt like a house on wheels.
Not a Marsion?
was it hard to find space at the Walmart
What model cat did you have? We have cat 773s
Feels small once you're in one
Try the cat 797 now that's a house on wheels
I need to stop bragging about being a car hauler after seeing this 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
that's still super cool too!
All truck driving is cool, as long as the driver is a driver and not a steering wheel holder!
