Boeing Dual-Driver Truck/Trailer Combination

This video shows one of the unique dual-driver truck/trailer combination vehicles used by Boeing to transport aircraft wing spars to the Boeing assembly facility in Everett, Washington. The first driver, as with any other truck, is in the "front" cab. You can see the second driver in his cab underneath the trailer, just in front of the rear wheels.

@MegaDeathwarrant in all fairness, i used to work as a crew mwmber on c-130s way back in the day...and i have a lot of trust in e and h model c-130s, despite their age...so i guess that means lockheed ain't all bad, eh?

That's a narrow body fueselage, so it could either be a 757 or sections of it. Or a boeing 737.

@EinkOLED those are wing spars in the truck, which help form the structural framework upon which the wing fuel tanks are hung and upon which the wing skin is laid. the 737 fuselage, on the other hand, arrives on a train. i can't put a link in these replies, but google "Boeing 737 Fuselage On Rail Car " and you'll find a video i have up that shows what it looks like.

im just curious, how much control does the driver under the trailer have? i know he can steer it but does he have brakes or is that controlled by the driver of the truck?

ahhh muito legal, sempre acompanho seus videos, sou um apaixonado por caminhões e aviação,  me diz uma coisa debaixo da carreta "carga" tem um pessoa na especie de caminhão sem gabine, tipo direcional? como é nome desse conjunto? gostaria de ver mais videos desse tipo de equipamento, obrigado

@EinkOLED Wrong on both counts. Truck's heading to Everett. 737s are made in Renton.(Boeing Field) and the last 757 was delivered in 2005! Guess again.

A380 convoy: 150 miles dedicaced route fully closed with "French National Guard", 1,5 millions $ truck GPS guided, 30 mph limited speed.

Boeing: "Keep your kicks, on route 66, in 3 stereo autoradios", 50 mph minimum speed, and it's OK! :-)

@coolhandcanada No...Not fake.
