VERY Long Tractor Trailer - 74 Wheeler!

[jacobfain9]

jacknife o shit!!

[nightwing332]

thats a power gen from roll royce

[ryanstepp28]

and that's why I love that I am a west virginian we do things big here

[sirhc070]

who was the asshole who parked right in front of the semi haha

[hunterziegelmann]

I wonder if they have "Under Sized Loads...?"

[TheCrazypotato111]

eh thats not that big ive hauled bigger with my ranger

[aval1998]

SOOO...BIIIGgggg(passes out)

[DucksUnlimited9437]

What do you do for a living?

Oh I just drive a huge ass truck

[Milkthefourth]

its over 84 wheels, dumbutt!

dont be a dipshit and learn how to count asshole!

[deejayphazer]

Sign : "OVERSIZE LOAD"

Driver : "No shit ?!"

[arivvas]

cool

[philip21786]

That could be a huge generator, they have them that size where I live (along the gulf coast) because of power outages due to hurricanes. Just a guess, but the guess comes from seeing huge generators installed a few if them on our court house.

[SeeYouNextFall]

@philip21786

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. And if it isnt a generator, maybe a very large inverter or something like that.

[philip21786]

@SeeYouNextFall And I didn't mean to chop that last sentence up like I did. What I meant was they just recently installed three or four (I can't remember) on the roof of the court house in the county I live in. But the trucks that brought them in wasn't nearly as overkill as this one.

[SeeYouNextFall]

@philip21786 Woops, I meant to say transformer, not inverter.

[wOrdTHANATOS]

i drove past that last week it was still sitting there

[TheWeezyfanforlife]

how the hell do u pull something that huge and that low to the ground

[SeeYouNextFall]

@TheWeezyfanforlife

The trailer can be lifted up or down with large hydraulics. So, when they are driving down the road, they can adjust the height.

[toadabc]

@TheWeezyfanforlife slowly

[saturnfreakshirk]

Special endorsements?

[SecularTechnology]

EAT THAT Australia.

[FLAME4564]

@SecularTechnology LOL XD touche XD

[heatherandpaul2]

Im sure all the wheels are needed only to spread the load around on th eground to not damage the street. But I do agree that the load looks small. How freaking heavy could it be> It he pulling a solid block of lead?

[SirWimpie]

He just got 20 parking tickets :D

[chaz706]

Long trailer is LOOOOONG

[iownmw2campers]

how long is it exacly?

[tempoandtaurus]

i think wide load isnt what should be on the back.. LOL

[joecroucher]

@tempoandtaurus it isnt it says OVERSIZE load

[oversize101]

more than likely this is an plastic injection mold/press or a stamping machine of some sort. this trailer more than likely has pusher motor on the last axles 0:49 .

[1bugriz1]

oh noh the clearance is too little

[dmonat]

This rig delivered a piece of equipment to the factory where I worked. The trailer is sitting on the ground because they are parked. It can be raised for travel.

The pusher truck was probably parked somewhere else or they used it to go to lunch.

The trailer can expand, lengthwise, to accommodate longer loads, but makes the rig less maneuverable.

[MrShene123]

wow, he must be a better driver than I

[stayingman]

Here is another W900 heavy haul... this one a 60" flat walk in sleeper and a wheel base less than 300". Notice the pusher axle on the tractor is off the ground... making the entire train much easier to steer... even though the weight the pusher axle was carrying is now being carried by the steering axle. Chances are the front axle is a 20k and has two power steering boxes - one each side.

[jobeanie123]

0:22 talk about a low bed!

[EmergencyVehiclesAu]

Damn! double parker, Well Triple Quadruple Double Parker

[avenged06x]

Was there a guiger counter in the cab of his truck?

[sidevalve337]

i think oversize load is an understatement lol

[noobleskthx]

Put the damned seatbelt on in your ford!

Lmao, but shit thats a big ass mother of a trailer.

[truckerjay1]

that load is between 360,000 and 400,000 LBS i used to escort them and have parked many at the WV welcome center because with that weight you have to run in maryland at night. and if it did come from the rolls royce plant in ohio it's a generator compressor or generator rotor which are both extremely heavy.  it's not an air conditioner one wouldnt be that heavy not even a chiller.

[SeeYouNextFall]

@truckerjay1

I really appreciate the info. Myself and many fans of this vid have been wondering a LONG time what the hell they are moving and how much it weighs!

[inksikes]

@SeeYouNextFall Actually i found an article of the rig in question and they were loading a 190,000LB chiller for refrigeration plants onto the same trailer for transportation to a port and off to Dubai. The only other thing i can possibly think of is engine blocks for ships but modern ships utilize propulsion plants based on aircraft engines using the thrust they produce to create torque. The reduction gear plants are carried in similar fashion as this device.

[14omega28ok]

@truckerjay1 A Big HUGE John deere Tractor could pull that without even trying

[MrDougwallace]

@14omega28ok but a smaller Case IH could do the same

[Fentanyl3]

@truckerjay1 We have had molding machines delivered to us grossing 600,000 lbs. Diamond heavy haul looks like there rig, but I don't think it is.

[ninjuggalo420]

that came from my town here in Ohio from the Rolls Royce plant

[DTMRM8]

I saw one of these drive by a few days ago. Unbelievably big.

[peepeevagi]

It's a nuclear reactor lol!

[darkshoyru1]

how do u drive UP?

[gtasupergamerdude]

i saw a 32 axle on my 5th grade trip to d.c.

[HaloHamstur]

Looks like a dirty prank

[myfeeling4you]

there's more weight in the trailers than the load itself, and only one truck haulin?? a little over the top

[SeeYouNextFall]

@myfeeling4you

Actually, I think that load was extremely heavy. Just because it doesnt look like a big load, doesnt mean it is light.

[myfeeling4you]

@SeeYouNextFall With the load under cover it's hard to tell, if it was a transformer, the copper inside would weigh 8.9 tonnes per cubic meter, now looking at the size it would be approx the same as a 20' container that is 33 cubic meters, but that's solid copper, a transformer has copper fins that are around usually a 1/4 in thick with a gap between fins of 1", assuming there is half a container of solid copper that would be approx 146 tonnes metric plus 5 tonnes of steel, all up 152 Tonnes

[myfeeling4you]

@SeeYouNextFall So while 152 tonnes is heavy I'd be sure this style of trailer could carry more weight judging by the size of the dollies but the platform where the load is placed is small.

[SeeYouNextFall]

@myfeeling4you

I agree, the platform where the load is on is extremely small. I think what they were loading was one of those very large AC units that go on top of skyscrapers. Those are very very heavy.

But, Im not sure what it was. If there didnt have it covered up with a tarp, it wouldn't be such a mystery. lol

Anyhow, thanks for watching and commenting! 

[myfeeling4you]

@SeeYouNextFall Ok to put to rest this mystery, if you look closely at the first drive axle, which isn't a driving axle but a lazy lift up axle, but it shares the load when needed, you will see it is in the elevated postion meaning the load is that heavy.

These lazy axles are used when the need arises to share the extra weight, notice the raised portion of the mudguard to accomodate the wheels, and yes you are right when you say a load doesn't have to be big to be heavy but this is overkill.

[MasterMWL]

@myfeeling4you: It's a fairly heavy load. Also, you can only have so much weight on each axle, so the rig helps spread the weight over many of them.

[roozie11]

большая тележка тяжелая носит трейлер трактора хайвея улицы дороги

[DavidSyntax]

VERY NICE !!!

[briancgaz]

We see these everyday here in arizona lol

[northernchicken]

so ah bgpmp16 what are them cylinders for? looks to me like one end hooks to the main frame and the other is attached to the axle cluster assembly. I'm pretty sure this unit is manufactured by diamond, maybe their website will provide the answer.

[4468861989]

dam 72 tires.. must be the CUBE from transformers haha

[offroadram95]

You say that was in West Virginia??? That must be the 85 ton peice of coal being hauled from West Virginia to South Dakota so they can put Pres. Obummers head on Mt. Rushmore.... Or, maybe its the new health care bill.... nah, not big enough for that, gotta be the head!!!

[halosux4life]

WEAR YOUR SEATBELT!

[SeeYouNextFall]

@halosux4life

I do , I do.

[jonesowski]

nice one man!!!!

[ding0925]

A company in town where i live has one of those the price is like 1.5mil..

[SeeYouNextFall]

@ding0925

You mean just the trailer itself cost 1.5 million dollars?

Damn, I knew it wasn't cheap, but I had no idea it was that much!

[ding0925]

@SeeYouNextFall Yes ..1.5mil maby more?

[KBWB5]

how do u take a corner with that thing?

[SeeYouNextFall]

@KBWB5

Easy.

After you take the corner you keep it. lol

[ding0925]

If you watch the vid at the end of the trailer is a platform where a person stands and steers the rear..

[SeeYouNextFall]

@ding0925

Yeah, thats what I thought that was for. But I wasnt 100% sure about it.

Thanks.

[bgpmp16]

well meybe and this is just a sugestion but you might wanna try knowing something b fore you say it that plat form isnt for steering that but nice try

[ding0925]

@bgpmp16 Try again ! pause at .29 and tell me what you see? maby some hyd levers? They are used for moveing the hyd cyl that you see under the platform..

Steering? sure aint for running the backhoe...

[SeeYouNextFall]

@ding0925

Yes, I believe they are hydraulic levers for raising and lowering the bed of the trailer.

Im sure while on the highway they keep it as low as possible so the center of gravity is low and keeps it from tipping.

But maybe when they are at a construction site or on a back country road, they raise it up for better ground clearance.

[bgpmp16]

yeah i said it wasnt for steering and if your mother and her ugly cousin hadnt made you kinda fucked up you would have caught that in my last comment and also that i was correcting the idiot who said it was for steering but i pitty your attempt at greatness and can only hope you try to concentrate on what i say next time

[SeeYouNextFall]

@bgpmp16

Take it easy there internet tough guy.

I was just agreeing with what you said.

[bgpmp16]

i do unless some ignorant know it all says something utterly retarded. and thanks for agreeeing i really needed that. when you work on the vehicles that pull them you get a pretty good idea of how shit works

[diaz4sho]

@bgpmp16 yeah im pretty sure the hydraulics are for steering. you see em at the axles and they obviously turn them left and right. i can only hope YOU try to pay more attention next time to the video you're commenting on before you start talkin shit.

[bgpmp16]

well as i have stated before you are wrong. when argueing about a subject it is most wise to know your subject which has unfortunately escaped you they are not for steering and try as you may to emphasize it you wont be any more right by telling me i am wrong just slightly more dumb in appearance to everyone else

[SeeYouNextFall]

@bgpmp16

Why does there have to be any "arguing about a subject"?

Why cant you/we discuss and debate a topic?

There is a difference!

[thetimeisyours]

@bgpmp16 You dumb ass! I worked for WL Byers! The fucking cylinders are for steering!

[thetimeisyours]

@KBWB5 The driver co-ordinates via 2 way radio with the operator on the rear platform

[nspboarder]

OVERSIZED LOAD is an under statement the banner should say HUGE ASS TRAILER

[realjoefriday]

Dang! The guy goes in for a coffee and comes out to find some jerk in a GMC parked RIGHT in front of him. Man -- I'll bet he has one heckuva time trying to back that thing up.

Or maybe he just parallel parked his rig right next to the GMC. Maybe that's what it was.

[SeeYouNextFall]

@realjoefriday

lol

Nah, the GMC was with them.

[thetimeisyours]

@realjoefriday it never ever backs up

[david1693]

thats a big truck

[quest2drive]

That oversized load banner on the back is as pointless as when people with a camaro get the "CAMARO" lettering on the front window, No $#!7 it oversized.

[lobes107]

the difference is the oversize is required by law

[steelhauler18]

Hell that is a little heavy hauler. He doesn`t have a pusher motor mounted on the back of the trailer or any hookups for a pusher truck to hook on behind the trailer....this is really suprising when you consider he had to take it across the mountains on 68. He must have had one hell of a slow trip comming up the 13 mile hill out of Cumberland, MD.

[SeeYouNextFall]

@steelhauler18

Yeah, that 13 mile steep mountain is hell on my SUV. Cant imagine that beast.

If I see him parked somewhere again, I will ask him to let me film what he has under the hood.

[thetimeisyours]

@SeeYouNextFall I know for a fact that Dave Byers wont let you film his engines!

[chuck738]

I think the "pusher motor" you have seen is not actually driving the wheels of the trailer,but providing hydraulic power for the steering.

[thetimeisyours]

@chuck738 exactly right

[rokstarr777]

yeah i was surprised to see that too must have a realy heavy duty engine maybe a cummins or something like a rock truck or dozer motor

[skwales100]

You've caught a big one there!

Great video :P

[IllinoisBoy1967]

It might have been the head unit off a wind turbine or a transformer, both are real heavy and require a setup like this to get them down the road

[thetimeisyours]

@IllinoisBoy1967 it's a silo section

[macdogq]

like to see it in motion turning corners.

[DamionHuskienorth]

what dose he have a whale on that thing?!!

[Rolfrommel]

Serious. That's one HUGE load. What's the weight? Like 100+ tons? Where you videoed it?

[SeeYouNextFall]

@Rolfrommel

I dont know what they weight of it was, but I filmed it at a West Virginia rest stop.

You can read the description at the top right of the video for more info.

[Rolfrommel]

Ding, ding, ding, ding! Fasten your seatbelt! He he. Just kidding.

[gr8fzy1]

What is that clicking in your truck, you have a Geiger counter or something in there?

[SeeYouNextFall]

lol yes.

[gr8fzy1]

lol seriously? What for?

[SeeYouNextFall]

Nah, I was just kidding.

I thin it was just a combo of the 4-way flashers being on and the wind going over the camera mic.

[fcknjoe4]

This is how you haul weight LEGALLY. LOL! Permits and daylight only. The 18 axle wagons haul REAL weight though. Has anyone ever seen the presses that the car companies stamp hoods and doors with?? He's probably got a crown (top) or a base (bottom) of one of those presses.

[thetimeisyours]

@fcknjoe4 YOU CAN BET YOUR ASS THAT EVERYTHING DAVE BYERS SR. DOES IS LEGAL!

[banjolearner94]

the big truck Portent lourd le bas de page de tracteur de route de rue de route LKW der große schwere transportieren Straßenstraßenlandstraßen-r Traktoranhänge the big trucks carrying the heavy tractor trailer off the main road of the road

[GamingSponge]

Try parrallel parking that!

[scottstrike10]

its all to do with the weight per axle.

[juvmol]

its a transformer just like the one i caught here in texas betwen navasota and brehnam tx.

[9tiin]

im gonna pretend i didnt hear that dude

shh,(dont tell anyone else,just keep the autobot hidden ok)

[ford762]

thats pretty cool your longer but 252,000 lbs is just a 13 axle load here so not really a big deal

[THEBEASTOFOLD]

That may be true but you guys dont have to take a load like this down town. Those road trains stay on wide open country while these boys are driving in small towns to big citys with these things!

[chaingang666420]

umm. yes they do take them into town.. That rear setup has a control booth to steer the rear axle for those turns.. google it..

[1955jw]

It's plant machinery, probabaly a Die for a stamping plant. There's no secret there, just has to be tarped per shipper requirements. That piece is HEAVY, each 4 tired axle has apprx 20,000 lb on it and the steer axle has 12- 14,000 lb. There is no such thing as a light load on that trailer, the states will not issue a permit to move a light load on a big trailer. There's a legal term for it, but it's the same as overkill.

[nchayfarmer]

lol man you said the exact same thing I was goin to say my uncle pulls some big stuff I say it aint a challenge till you cant slide your hand under the frame rails lol

[signal44]

May not be as heavy as you think, but the particular density would warrant using that trailer for weight distbursement for bridges. Or could be that the company hauling it is actualy using that trailer as a light load back haul to a certain area of the country after they brought something really heay the other direction. You make a whole lot more money hauling ANYTHING one way , then hauling it empty anyway. Also, they will need to pay oversize fee no matter what is on trailer.

[thetimeisyours]

@signal44 You obviously do not know one thing about heavy haul

[hankwvu]

I actually saw that same load sitting there at the same rest area when I came through one weekend. The interesting thing is, when I saw it, there was no truck hooked up to it and no one around it. Which tells me it is nothing 'secret'. Just damn heavy. There are a lot of upgrades going on to the coal-fire electric plants in those areas. I'm willing to bet it was heading for one of those.

[bibblles]

Maybe its just me, but i don't see how anything that small could merit the use of that many wheels... what ever it is, it must have the density of like a dieing sun.

[unclebuck2009]

I am sure it has to do with bridge laws.........google bridge laws for the US.

[fcknjoe4]

My friend, these wagons are way beyond bridge laws. LOL! When you've got 125 tons + concentrated in the well, you need these axles to distribute this kind of weight. You're not gonna load this on a 3 axle lowboy and get the bags to lift the well off the ground. Sorry. Crank the air governor all you want to! LOL!

[odmcarp]

i don't understand why you recorded this video from inside your truck, instead of being outside and just slowly scanning it from front to back. just curious

[SeeYouNextFall]

I understand your frustration.

But it was -13F degrees out, and I was very late for class. So I really didn't have much time.

But, I still see these trucks occasionally and the next one stopped, I will get out and take better video.

I would like to also interview the driver and get his take on hauling a trailer like that.

[thetimeisyours]

@SeeYouNextFall yea, good luck on that idea! You know how stressful his job is! I Do

[blueyoda33]

that load must of been hard to get it .

[gadgettec101]

38 WHEELS

[briandrum1]

74...front 2 wheels are dual...all the rest are...2 fronts + 18 set's of duals X 2 = 74

[bdfgli]

I have seen these parked along route 30 in Maryland. What are they hauling?

[SeeYouNextFall]

Well, nobody is for sure, but the majority of us think its a large office building/industrial air conditioning unit that goes on top of large buildings.

[beeble2003]

It's almost certianly an electrical transformer.

[thetimeisyours]

@bdfgli None of your damn business!

[quietsailor]

the load up on it reminds me of the outline of a gnerator engine - that would explain the need for a trailer capable of carrying so much weight

[louswire]

That rig is so big... it needs an oversize permit and routing, even when it's empty...

[SeeYouNextFall]

Yes, you are correct.

Also, in the state of Maryland it requires a Police State Trooper escort as well.

[thetimeisyours]

@louswire true

[peepeevagi]

You should have gotten out and shook oprah's hand.

[SeeYouNextFall]

Oprah?

I dont get it..............

[peepeevagi]

Oprah's fat yo.

[SeeYouNextFall]

lmao

I see....

[pumpkinzer0]

wtf??

[EXT109]

i feel bad for the guy who has to drive it.

[SeeYouNextFall]

I feel bad for the guy who has to check all the air in those tires! lol

[Amed2012]

Those trailers doesnt use centralized tire pressure systems rigth?

[SeeYouNextFall]

Im not sure, I didn't get a close look of the wheel hubs.

If I see this rig around again, I will get out and walk around it and film.

Maybe I can get the driver to explain of of the stuff on it too.

[thetimeisyours]

@SeeYouNextFall No, You Won't

[thetimeisyours]

@Amed2012 no

[mudder01player]

w.e the fuck it was, it had to be heavy as HELL!!! theres like 3 trailers for one side. id like to know wat it was cuz it didnt look that big...

[polaris500rider]

how can you possibly turn with that it was prob 100yds long

[bronzmilitia]

With convenient front and rear steering.

[HFCHSvids]

the load is on a trailer...which is on a trailer....which is on a trailer.

[Emohrbeckk]

that is one hell of a truck if i can pull that. haha

[Virtualwallvirus]

whoever is driving that is getting paid out the ASS!!!!!

[milddad]

I would like to drive this

[WhiteTrashOffroad]

I am 99% sure i seen that exact same truck with the exact same load around Northeast Alabama where highway 67 meets 69). It stayed in one spot for over a week. I would love to know what is covered up on that trailer?

[rdlulu]

0:23 that part is on the ground??

[SeeYouNextFall]

Yes.

different stages of that trailer has hydrolics. They can raise it up and down depending on what they are doing.

I guess they were giving it a rest for a while.

[TheMostHolyOne]

Wide Load!!! You think?!?!?! LOL

[SeeYouNextFall]

If not wide, certainly a "Long Load" lol

[BrunoCartapatti]

thats beautiful

[richardcatdaddy]

Loads like that pay very well.I pull a trailer simalar to that one for strip mine equipment.

[ElCervezaMuchacho]

The driver of that probably feels like a huge badass.

[produKtNZ]

With the patience of a saint!

Imagine going thru all 18 gears everytime to get up to ....... 30 lol

[fanofCOH]

proably rides down the highway, cruising at 30mph tops in third to fith maby?

[thetimeisyours]

@ElCervezaMuchacho He is! I know him personally!
