    I’m wondering if these are practical to use for breakdown on busy roads. Turning around would require police assistance to turn around. In my city, (Brisbane/Australia) e de ady towing seem to have a monopoly with their heavy duty tow trucks. They just back up and lift the steering axle and move the semi w trailer to get broken down trucks off busy roads. Fast and easy. I can see a huge value for this in smaller towns and remote areas where the frequency of breakdowns is less. Or for small fleets keeping their operating costs down

      Sorry, must have missed your comment 9 month ago. Towing Wheel Dollies are rated up to 18,000 lbs. Casters are only rated at 10mph. I've gone faster, but that would be unofficial. Just landed a major contract with a Semi-Truck OEM. So no, not a joke

      @a1driver982 3 роки тому

      He said that you release the trailers brakes. It doesn't make alot of sense if there's no air in the towed truck, the brakes won't work. He should of put the air system directly to the entire truck.

    • @bluegixxer1k
      @bluegixxer1k 3 роки тому

      Because the service line doesn't work if the parking brake isn't released. He's feeling the blue line from the tow vehicle to the front chambers of the vehicle being towed thats why the towed vehicle doesn't need air in it.

    Towing trucks backwards is fine you don't have to drop the driveshaft. Also you have every opportunity to use the tractors you have in you fleet. Please remember to make sure if you have any cab extenders to make sure to use ratchet straps to secure them. This is especially true if you run a Volvo. This is a voice of experience coming at you driver 👍👍

      This sounds like a valuable tip. I’m not familiar w the details yet, definitely need a checklist and Phone support from a mechanic familiar with a range of trucks, can’t expect a tow driver in the field to know everything.

      @Anthony Nesbitt with your method what happens when you run out of air? I think this would save a hell of alot of money to be able to tow your own truck back home the chain method works ok in a car for a short distance but what about if you need to tow it hundreds of miles?
