This brings back lots of memories . This Was my first job out of high school , running bottom dump trailers on jobs like this one in Northern California. Now Gracefully retired.Thankyou for this Video, lots of viewers have no idea of how a Contruction job starts and functions. Awesome !
First time watching and you guys are pros. I will submit this after reading comments posted. I know that five axle wrecker costs in the neighborhood of a million dollars, plus insurance and equipment. These are what's called specialised equipment. What's becoming a real task is finding people like you fellas willing to do this kind of work, because it's not for the faint of heart. God bless and stay safe!
That's why I love watching you guys!! Very fast very efficient, and as a team you guys work great together. Just an excellent recovery! Keep it safe guys!😀😀😀😀😀😀
It's not pften you see a truck outside of Australia (where I live) that has a bullbar like that on it! And nearly every truck here in Aus has one on it. Great video.
Great video! We just found your channel and subscribed. It's interesting to see the work you do without all of the commenting while you're working. We look forward to your upcoming videos.
I was heading in the opposite direction when I saw you. I blew my horn at you. I knew I wasn't going to be heading back in time to stop and help or even offer drinks. ( soda, water)
Kris do you ever see any Big M trucks that haul cement powder from Dundee Michigan down to southern Ohio? Big red KW’s and Pete’s. Used to haul for them in 80’s. They are out of Carlisle Ohio
I don`t know about you but a lower angleon your boom with a snatch block might have a better pull and easier on the truck.!!!!!!!! i use to do towing.!!!!!
COULD OF BEEN RUN OFF THE ROAD BY A CRAZY,IT HAPPEN TO ME IN KENTUCKY ONCE,IN MICHIGAN ONCE AND IN INDIANA ONCE,WE MUST NOT JUMP TO UNKNOWN ANSWERS!!! I HAVE SEEN HEART ATTACKS CAUSED DRIVERS TO GO OFF ROAD ,SAVED LIVES YET DRIVER DIED!!!❤😢
He's there, you just don't really see him too much in the video. He's mostly watching traffic. You can occasionally see him walk past the camera, he's wearing a high-vis. jacket. You can also see his car on the shoulder behind the scene.
I rarely see the final bills.. I can tell you that each piece of equipment is billed by the hr from the time it leaves our ship til the time it returns, there's a lot of variables when it comes to the price. Thank you for watching
Be a good idea to get two ratchet straps-use them to secure the driveshaft-rather than a chain-l\ts easier/quicker/safer. When they get greasey/worn-just throw them away.
@@glennjukes5581 I have a special chain that I made up just for drive shafts. I didn't use it in this video because one of my drivers had left it on another truck the day before. It's a small 1/4-in chain that actually goes through the yoke with two carabiners so it can't slip out.. we've had bad luck with straps over the years
The insurance company will fix thia unit. They'll definitely have to add a new drivers seat to the repairs. Because this one definitely has a HUGE chunk missing out of it. Where the drivers ass bit into it as he was taking this ride over that hill side.
In my days driving trucks I was every day driving back and forth Canada to Clyde Ohio Findlay Colombo’s Greenville Ohio one of the best hwys to drive those roots and don’t understand how ta heck he drove all the way down there ? He must fell a sleep?
@@krisstafford74 I watch all the time your videos you doing good job . After a stop the hwys I went to be tow truck driver for 14 years I have did lots recovering recovery trucks from the reaches role overs some time I was asking my self why I got in this business tow truck .i had contract with the police on every accident they call me some times was not comfortable to watch blood from death drivers but was part of the business I chose to do . Now I am retired and that’s why I watch all your videos I love the job . Good luck yo you be careful and god bless you all ways !!! 🙏🙏🙏
@@krisstafford74 Evidence points to that direction. The driver was lucky he wasn't loaded with something tall and heavier. And that the ground was soft. It sucked him in, and slowed his forward progress down a lot. We had a driver do something very similar to this with a 40-K lb casting on a covered wagon up on the Indiana Toll Road before Elkhart. Trailer and the load where fine. That old FDL Frieghtliner was "TOAST" Knocked the steer axle out and took the pain off the Series 60 and it didn't shut it self off soon enough.
@@krisstafford74 Hard to break old habits. LoL Some guys prefer to use the remote box, Some still prefer to use the levers. At the end of the day its all the same asing as no one gets hurt. And the job gets done.
@@highereducation3028 that was my initial thought but I didn't want to block off any more of that ramp. People are kind of crazy going off of that ramp
They used to run numbers every coupel months on wrecks till they pute Elogs in now they don’t any more why because they don’t want to show every one how wrong they are now it’s like your in a nascar race every day and if u stop to take nap your whole day is screwed and every one drives as fast as they can to chase clock that’s what u get when somone that can’t start a truck is makin rules
Y'all need to watch Ron Pratt(Rotator Ron ) He's in Scott Missouri! NO cursing at all! Good bye! And there's nothing about SH__t that is HOLY! Only Jesus is Holy!

Thank you for watching
Good helpers!
I don't know if you know the channel Ron Pratt, but this content reminds me exactly of that and boy does that mean I love to watch it.
I saw Kris reversing and wondered where the three toots of his horns were.
thank you for watching, Ron is one of the biggest reasons i started doing this
36:25 Safety advice: Turn the hook around so the chain catches at the throat of the hook, not on the safety latch!
@@KnightDemon agreed, good catch.. thanks for watching

@@Harold-si7eh how were you driving, if you was run off the road that many times?
I mean were you in complete control!
Was that southbound just south of RT12 right before the 15 split off ? What caused the guy to take it off road ?
@@71sixpak yes
wouldn't it have been cheaper to just go to Cedar Point and ride the roller coaster there
Lol interesting perspective.... Thank you for watching
Great job. How did he get all the way out there? 4 wheeler brake check him? It's kinda rare to see a heavy hauler in the ditch
didnt get the story, i assumed the passenger side steer tire went down and pulled him to the right
Its been that way for the last 50 plus years retired 3 yrs ago so for 47years it been that way
Thanks for watching
Can’t believe the a state cop is not there to help protect you guys.
He's there, you just don't really see him too much in the video. He's mostly watching traffic. You can occasionally see him walk past the camera, he's wearing a high-vis. jacket. You can also see his car on the shoulder behind the scene.
Nice job!. What is the bill for a recovery/tow like this?
I rarely see the final bills.. I can tell you that each piece of equipment is billed by the hr from the time it leaves our ship til the time it returns, there's a lot of variables when it comes to the price. Thank you for watching
Keep them guessing. Get towing insurance
In other words as much as possible 😂
Noti and do u need your cdl to drive one of those trucks?
@@Hir_money yes
I’m from Ohio so this is kinda normal
True! Thank you for watching
I got news for you , this shit is happening in EVERY state . Like Ray Stevens says in his song " Their every where their every where
He kept the rubber side down that's main thing probably got to clean up self
Im sure. thanks for watching
I bet that truck driver don't take any more short-cuts...
Thanks for watching!
front steer probably blew and caught him off guard.
I assumed so

No it’s not what they are to do but these big companies are putting drivers out hear before they should be buy thear self

9:30 why don't they put the controls on the passenger side of the tow truck? That way your not out in the road.

I don't see you here fancy remote control to see what you are doing duh
Thats a 40,000 dollar bill. One of those could of easily done that job. They are consistent everywhere tho they hammer you with everything they have.

Then ask Jesus to recover that truck… should be No problem. Or even better, a Mighty power should prevent that accident in the first place
Love the video but if I could make one request. Please cut or censor out the cursing.
Thank you for watching... We are new to this and sometimes forget about the camera.. will look into this in the future
I bet the owner of that truck is gonna be cursing when he gets that tow bill you might have to say some prayers for him.
Those low loaders you guy use over there are hopeless.
Too complicated and definitely to low
Look at Drake floats and see the difference
