Great show as always! Good to hear about the lining up the bulldog (center of hood) trick works when u go big, I was wondering about that. I learned that tip from my pops as a kid with an old late 70s chevy blazer - before they miniaturized the things! ☺
I just wanted to say thank you to Sergei for this production and I'm only 1/2 way in. I seriously have reached my peak and have a heap of comments (later). I love this video!
I know you are a TV/movie buff. Here is some Soprano's trivia. If you go home the same way down 95/NJTP on your right after Newark airport there are a bunch of oil tanks. Those were from the opening credits of The Soprano's. I love these long trucking vids. Thank. Mark
I'm staying in Glendale New York till Sunday night or Monday morning. Tried California Pizza Kitchen yesterday ... Today it's time for Panera Bread at 7325 Woodhaven Blvd, Ridgewood, NY 11385. Love their salads!
great idea with the bulldog, i heard about that, a long time ago, and some people swear by it, some people actually buy a mascot and install it on their vehicle, to guide them.
If you had a truck GPS you could enter height, weight, width and it would give you a route compatible with those restrictions and you wouldn't have to guess what the alternatives are.
The Mack Bulldog has been on Mack trucks since 1932. The Bulldog originated from WW 1 British troops who said the front of the Mack AC model they and the US used during the war looked like a Bulldog.
Back in the 80's driving for Carl Subler Trucking and Schneider Transport I went into the City every week and sometimes would deliver all the way out to River Head.LI. This was in a 13'6" dry van 45 and 48' long. All the low underpasses wasn't no picnic, today with 52' trailers no thank you. I sure love Texas and the 11 western States much better... Hope you don't get robbed over the weekend laying over !!!
You like the Bulldog: The British started calling Maok Trucks Bulldogs during WWI. Here is an excerpt from the Mack website. (A soap carving is more commonly accepted as truth) 1932 - Early in 1932, Alfred Fellows Masury, Maok's Chief Engineer, was admitted to the hospital for an operation. Masury was one of those individuals who wasn't used to his hands being idle for any period of time. During his recuperation in the hospital, Masury decided to carve a bulldog. (Some rumors indicate that he carved the first bulldog from a bar of soap; other rumors indicate the first was carved from wood.) Whether the first bulldog hood ornament was soap or wood, we do know that shortly after his release from the hospital, he did in fact carve a bulldog in wood. Masury applied for and received a patent for his design; that Bulldog design has adorned Maok trucks ever since!
Drove that route MANY times 80/95 to the GW and the Cross Bronx Expy , brings back memories . Worked NYC for 15 years , wow , I live in Buffalo now ,it is a LOT easier , even with the SNOW !!! LOL great video's
When going over the GW bridge. Their is no way to ease the congestion of traffic. If you come in during the morning or evening their is a 20-30 minutes getting over the bridge. As for the position lane you are in at 9:27 you are fine their but if you are getting off to an ext. you should be one lane over where you are now. Just to make it easy on you if you decide to get off. But if you just going straight toward I-95N the lane you is is prefect to pass the traffic on the right hand side of you.
You can tell that ain't #Texas since I am halfway through this video of thousands of cars and have only seen two pickup trucks. Here in Austin you see one truck to every two cars. :)
yeahh , i've watched it all ,55 minutes of pure fun and adrenaline with Uncle Sergey!!!Thx Sergie for this blockbuster ,hope you will do another one soon! Oh and that white bmw is a 5 series GT.Here in Romania , bmw is considered the best car manufacturer in the world, but not for me, i think japanese cars are better in anyway than german cars.
Sergei great to see on my backyard,been watching many vids of your trips around Canada and US, I remember you when you had the yellow International with the flat bed,great to have you town,,Your the best among truckers in You Tube!!
Went across that bridge many a time. In all my years I've only seen them ticketing trucks in the left lane once or twice through there and they mostly seemed to be targeting local drivers who knew better as opposed to otr guys. Think of the mess it would cause ( worse then it already is) if they started yanking trucks out of the left lane and finding a place to park!
Oh yea, When you going through the Cross Bronx Exp, Most of the trucks are on the middle and left lane because more of the entering and exiting lanes are on the right where all the cars be cutting you off all most 80% of the time. When the traffic clears you move over to the middle lane.
QRoutback no, i try to stay away as much as possible. only come here when the load pays good. trips to new york city usually pay a 'new york city premium'.
The traffic in that video is nothing compared to traffic my dad has to experience in Chicago. But, a great video by the way. I hope to become a Commercial Truck Driver when i graduate and go to trucking school after I graduate.
Here in good old Blighty (England) We have Roads and Motorways (Freeways) built and designed for Trucks NOT cars (Auto-mobiles) We also have Road Legislation (Commonly known as the highway code) Designed For...................................................................... Yes you guessed it , Trucks (Not Auto-mobiles) Are we paying attention yet our cousins over the great pond ;)
Early 1970s, George Washington bridge,, Thomas E Dewey (governor of N.Y. 1943 to 1955, Republican presidential nominee 1944 and 1948) decided to stop and turn around in the middle of the GW bridge. Instantly recognized, people behind him stopped, blocking oncoming traffic. Some got out, halped him turn around. Perks of being famous.
Great video Sergei that was a long bridge , yes the bulldog is a big help for your driving , long video must have taken for ever to upload this must be one of your longest videos I have seen , have a good one .
dave allen you probably missed this one: czcams.com/video/XBSvRPLCzwc/video.html. 54 min 28 sec of digital entertainment, with a surprise at each unpredictable turn.
***** No I saw this one already thanks and commented my friend that is when you took 3 times to get across the border to the US some issue with your paper work .
Ok, the video got boring after awhile. I did enjoy reliving the bridge thru your eyes. By the way how much does it cost to cross now the bridge nowadays It was $12 in my days. I haven't crossed that bridge since the mid 80's. I remember me an a driver out of Alabama crossing the bridge one night. We were having a good time talking to another driver, until we caught up with him. He was hauling explosives.
I think your GPS stutters lol go buy a truck GPS, before you get into trouble! Don't feel bad about taking up the whole street to make turns. If those New Yorkers aren't used to trucks having to do that, they never will be. Great vid thanks :-)
Infrastructure, wow! Potholes galore! Urban decay! Yuck! Trash everywhere! Asphalt jungle deteriorating to carriage roads. Hope you escape soon, before your truck shakes apart. Great video of New York! I ran out of popcorn, and had to get other sustenance to make it through.
john imburgia too late. i'm back in canada. now i'm loading some stuff for indiana, and then it's a short deadhead to a CAT plant picking up a big wheel loader. busy, busy, busy .. but i suggest you move out of new york city! that city is CRAZY! ;)
Hi Sergei I watch you on my iPad and and on my laptop Google maps of your trip a great job,I haul hi cube truck I went around New York. You have a great weekend ,
Сереж, что-то все хуже разрешение (качество) видео - я так понял сложности с передачей большого объема. А ведь твои путешествия лучше смотреть минимум на 720p с экраном не менее 22 дюйма - масса удовольствия.Удачи !!!
Владимир Топ даже в 720 на 404 точек видео получилось более 700 Мб. Ушло масса времени чтобы его загрузить на Трубу. В последнее время я обычно делаю 480р но тут слишком уж большой объем получился, даже после редакции и сжатия.
Владимир Топ есть версия в 480р - 991 Мб. Если найду хороший Интернет то могу загрузить. Там качество конечно получше. Но с видео такой длины - как не крути, размер получается ой-ой-ой!
***** как для меня так лучше заливай чуть позже но с лучшим качеством.у нас тут праздники паска и красная горка - празднуем, поминаем ушедших, привет тебе с родины.
I like them . No chance you’ll have to fight off fatigue/ drowsiness when in NYC. Now when you’re done for the day I promise you’ll collapse once the adrenaline wears off. I think my first run into NYC took a few years off of my life. Also 99% of your trucks ignore the no trucks in the left lane signs. It’s impossible to stop that volume of traffic to write a ticket.
At 13:00 the driver in this video says "Welcome To Manhattan." When did they move the GW Bridge out of the South Bronx ??? I 95 is the "Cross Bronx Expressway." !!!
+Eagle One between the GWB and the Cross Bronx Expressway is the Cross Manhattan Expressway. That is where you are going under all the buildings, between the Hudson River and the Harlem River.
I drove truck to World Trade Center back in 1964.The World Fair was going on.I was sure glad to get out of there.The closer i got the faster they started going.Like your videos,I was nervous wreck watching entire video.Looks like the roads haven't improved any.
I like that bulldog. shame it is not gold. meaning the whole truck is made in USAI don't give people breaks anymore. I hang back and if you want to get in there the other driver has to make that decision.too many times I tried to wave a person in and they don't take it then later decide to take the opening, I almost hit them.people are stupid.
Oh dear you had to drive into New York City traffic from New Jersey. Just think if you had to drive that every day or weekly? Lots of other crazy drivers out there. Anyway hope you had fun...
kamara_trucker kamara the main thing is i made a lot of MONEY. when you make good money, you can afford the fun. you can see this BREAD cargo van in the new season of the STRAINS TV show.
Haha...bulldog enthusiasts would shootski Mack if they messed up the bulldogs and they know it. Drivers used to keep there bulldogs and swap it on to the truck they moved to. A lot of superstition in the bulldog community exists to this day.
tazmun great tidbit of information. i love my bulldog too. when you stare at it 8 hrs a day, it becomes a part of the family AND it plays a special part in my videos ;)
Серега, так для интереса, а для чего все видео на английском??? на русскоговорящую аудиторию не рассчитываешь??? думаю подписчиков было бы в разы больше!

Makes no sense. You're in the world capitol of Pizza. Leave those chain restaurants alone. Try the local stuff. Outstanding!
I grew up down the street from there in ridgewood. Small world.

I haven`t been to that shit hole for 10 years and don`t miss it one bit.
id buy that for a Dollar ;)
wow you truck drivers work hard in heavy traffic with all shifting thats going on props to you guys

I would gladly take a trip through New York any day over Chicago!
What a drive , bet you glad you don't have to drive that every day , great vid
QRoutback no, i try to stay away as much as possible. only come here when the load pays good. trips to new york city usually pay a 'new york city premium'.
+Sergei Dratchev (Heavy Haul TV) do you do cross country or just east coast?
Now I know why some trucking company have a policy that drivers can refuse driving to NY. I always wondered why till I saw this.
After watching this,I love Atlanta roads!!!!!
hope you enjoyed that New York toll for the g w bridge been there and done that
I make the NYC run at least once or twice a month, although in a much smaller 26' box. I feel ur pain sergei
The traffic in that video is nothing compared to traffic my dad has to experience in Chicago. But, a great video by the way. I hope to become a Commercial Truck Driver when i graduate and go to trucking school after I graduate.
Timothy Fuller He hit NYC at mid-day. After 4:00 in the afternoon it’s a parking lot. The GW & Lincoln Tunnel are parking lots after 4.
wow after the tolls it looks like 10 lanes merging into 3.
Beautiful you kept the original audio sound and narriate the drive, ms. corrina and Leonard love your marriages video here., Thank you💯❤
Great video uncle sergei. I enjoy the longer vids. Keep em coming.

Why is the resolution so low on this one? (360) (Sounds is excellent.)
Jan n0aaa What a hassle. No more complaining about the rush hour in Cedar Rapids!
Great video about a white knuckle drive in difficult conditions, congratulations.
i love the way you just go with the flow. patince and then some. i now just cruze eveywhere. theres hope for us all. lol.
Yes, I apologize uncle Sergei. You were right about the air cleaner.
Ok, the video got boring after awhile. I did enjoy reliving the bridge thru your eyes. By the way how much does it cost to cross now the bridge nowadays It was $12 in my days.

95 bucks roughly
Very good Vlog Sergei, Thanks again and be safe.
Never had an E-Z pass.... boy that works great.
wow never seen New York before wow
Cee Cee It’s even more fun going thru The Lincoln Tunnel and coming out in Mid- Town! What a rush! Makes you feel alive.
You drove through my town. :)
I would think that New York roads would have more than 3 lanes like LA, but hey who knows.
suppose there isn't the space to put them there
I think your GPS stutters lol go buy a truck GPS, before you get into trouble! Don't feel bad about taking up the whole street to make turns. If those New Yorkers aren't used to trucks having to do that, they never will be. Great vid thanks :-)
Super skillful driving, sir. It can be a real nightmare navigating the East coast.
Infrastructure, wow! Potholes galore! Urban decay! Yuck! Trash everywhere! Asphalt jungle deteriorating to carriage roads. Hope you escape soon, before your truck shakes apart.
Great video of New York! I ran out of popcorn, and had to get other sustenance to make it through.
Torsee i'm staying in the truck behind the LOCKED fence ;) next to a cemetery ;) the boogey man gets all the bad guys trying to get to my truck.
Big bump coming up in center lane
The BQE takes you north and south,ie airport to whitestone bridge I 95 N or S
Whitestone is good for big rigs
I think you are comically, but also thoughtful 😎~Paul
Heavy traffic poses anxiety to long haul truckers, right ?
NY roads are very smooth. I am sorry I missed you when you were there. Wish you told me you were coming. I wanted to meet the great Uncle Sergie!
john imburgia too late. i'm back in canada. now i'm loading some stuff for indiana, and then it's a short deadhead to a CAT plant picking up a big wheel loader. busy, busy, busy .. but i suggest you move out of new york city! that city is CRAZY! ;)
Dang Sergi, I thought the roads here in Kelso, Wa. Where bad and too narrow... That was nerve wracking riding shotgun with you through that!
It was too short, got my soda and my pop corn and it was over. lol. Camera and sound was great.
no te entendi el mensaje pero no importa,sigo viendo tus videos!! saludos Carlos

Had a CEASAR Salad while watching this. TOTALLY AWESOME.
Those roads look horrible. I guess the tolls aren't sufficient
Nice right turn!
don't you have rear wheel steering on your trailer this makes turning easer.
es tan caro $$$ viajar al exterior en mi pais (Argentina) que la mejor manera de conocer New York City es viendo tus videos jajaja. saludos Carlos
checdm no, the caviar cost extra. only the vodka was free.
31:34 Oh man that was scary! I hate driving in these crazy cities.

Thanks for the clarification Dan.
Jesus no wonder your shocks were blown so quickly, you'd think for as much money is in NYC they could afford to make halfway decent roads.
you are a very good driver :) I love your video!!
Your in my neck of the woods,i wish I knew sooner it would have been nice to meet you.
Left Lane No Trucks. Ha ha... you make it look easy.
I drove truck to World Trade Center back in 1964.The World Fair was going on.I was sure glad to get out of there.The closer i got the faster they started going.Like your videos,I was nervous wreck watching entire video.Looks like the roads haven't improved any.
Ohio Farmer it's one big construction site. thanks for watching.

Are you owner operator? Do you own the trailer(s)?
1. Yes 2. Yes

I know that place!!
Good morning vídeo Very good hugs marizio of Brazil

If you were by jfk airport for van drop why did you come back through New Jersey.No parkways.
Серега, так для интереса, а для чего все видео на английском??? на русскоговорящую аудиторию не рассчитываешь??? думаю подписчиков было бы в разы больше!
Сергей Иванов потому что с 1997 г я канадец.
***** Понятно, спасибо, что ответил!
Is NYC the worst city to drive in a big rig
You should have gone through the third lane.Its a strait shot.
uncle sergei has a son ? 0_0 how do we find out more about sergeis and his adventures ? does he have book face ?
Some of the roads there look like they belong in a 3rd world country.
Hay Sergei how's about giving us English speakers a few lessons in Russian
Sergei if I were you I would have a company policy not to book any trip's to New York under any circumstance's !
Terrific vid sergei, just like driving in London uk crazy drivers, never leave enough space. stay safe man. pat. n.yorks. uk.
Serg, I apologize how my comments with someone else got out of line today. I guarantee it will never transpire again. Stay safe.

I like your longer videos
