    As an old retired truck driver, I would just like to say to all Merry Christmas and Happy and safe New Year. I'm sure brother Ron would agree, winter driving can be dangerous and when you approach an emergency vehicle of any kind working on or near the road in good or bad weather SlOW DOWN, MOVE OVER. Make sure you do your part to ensure these workers go home safely to their families. May God bless you and yours.

As a manager myself, I tell my guys that they need to be working twice as fast as I am. Hardly any of them can keep up. I like this guy. Hire him if you can.

    I drive a large box truck for work sometimes, and this is one of my biggest fears: rolling the truck. I'm probably a little overcautious when I'm driving the truck, but I figure it's better to be cautious and arrive with the box up and the wheels on the road, than to have to deal with rolling by trying to save time, rushing, and rolling the truck over. It is amazing this driver was not injured and survived. Someone was definitely watching over him that day!

    I apologize for the multiple comments but I just had to comment on the improvements that entire industry has made to improve the versatility of your average "rollback ". Twenty years ago just shortly after the new engineering on passenger and light utility vehicle made their increased almost a necessity , the beds nor the hydraulics were not designed for the shok loads or abuse inevitably stressed them to. Today the entire industry treats them just as you would any other piece of recovery equipment in it's weight classification and happily come back for more as if it thought it was an old Holmes 440 or 480.

  • @nelsoncook5497
    @nelsoncook5497 5 років тому +1

    Quick suggestion, when backing someone up use signals like they do at the airports. Use full arm motions instead of just your hands. It cuts down on confusion and is easier to see in the mirror. It's also much easier in low light conditions.
