    I must admit that I am addicted to your videos. In my 67 years, I have had to sit in stopped traffic as a wrecker driver had to get ready to tow a wrecked tractor. BUT, I have never seen anyone be as careful as you are! You check all the boxes and and then check again just to make sure. Years ago, there was a tractor trailer wreck wreck was on a two lane road. The driver go all set up, started out and then we had to stop again about 5 miles down the road ... he did not tie the hood down just left it flapping and it came off, hit another a passing car and caused it to wreck. Just goes to show being careful and safe is the ONLY way to do things!!!

    Wow... prayers for the driver's recovery, and we are witness to another job very well done. That was one wicked snap to that poor driver's neck and back. When you hit the cables at speed, you are gonna break something.. and he broke the truck real gooooood. It makes one's job a bit easier when you are working with fellow responders that know what you need for help, and aren't scared to help out any way they can. I giggled when one firefighter got on the cables and bounced like a kid. I do know that it was risky, but it looked like he was having fun doing it. Glad it came out nicely for all of you. God bless you all!!

  • @ifly300
    @ifly300 4 роки тому +1

    Giving the possibility of damage to the steering/ front suspension I personally would have taken the extra time to go with a front tow. Not to mention the benefit of the wind pushing the hood down instead of trying to pull it up.

  • @ferthur01
    @ferthur01 4 роки тому +4

    Ron, when I drove flatbed and had a tall load that I had to restrap, I'd roll the hook into the strap. The extra weight helps carry the hook over, since it's not pulling as much strap up through the air. Just make sure you roll it up the right way, otherwise it won't unroll as it clears whatever you're trying to strap down.
