I’m 16 years old now. I always thought their trucks were really badass, and their company is really good too. I see their trucks driving in town sometimes when I go out. I got interested in towing and recovery on UA-cam. I watch towing and recovery UA-cam videos and got really into it. Now after highschool im gonna go get my CDL and go to school for mechanics and operating. After all that crap I’ll go try out for a job at modzelewskis if possible. I’m already really experienced in mechanics thanks to my uncle.
I started in towing my senior year, worked for the same company through college and now years later I bought it from my old boss. It can be a lot of fun but its also hard work and every hates us until they need our help. But in the end it is worth it.
SouthJerseySound so you are the boss of Modzelewskis? Well if you are, you’d probably be seeing me in a few years if I decide on doing towing as my career I life. I’m a really good guitar player. I play because I love metal and classic rock. It made me eager to play so I’ve been playing since I was 9 and now I’m really good. So either I’ll do something with the guitar, or towing and recovery or mechanics. I’ll probably record music on the side and do this or somethin. I’m still in the process of thinking about it. Still got one more year of highschool left. It sucks but gotta deal with it. Not goin to college. Maybe a school for mechanics and operating machinery or a music school so that I could get accomplished with guitar. Well, if you are the real boss of Modzelewskis and have bought the company, congratulations. Modzelewskis is a real good towing company from what I heard of. The trucks are really badass and the employees are good too. I live around the Danbury CT area, so I see the trucks drive by sometimes. One time I saw one pass by it was a rotator, I waved and he honked at me. Really badass truck that was.
@@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03 NP, I bought the company that I worked at in HS and college years later when he wanted to retire. We actually became good friends and I always had a job there if I needed one, no matter if it was just part time. Towing is hard work and it's always a challenge but there never is a dull moment. You'll see some haters online but helping someone out of a tough spot really makes it all worth it. Anyway if I was you, I'd go down there and introduce yourself this summer. Chances are you might be able to get a part time job for the summer. Even if it's just washing trucks a few days a week you'll learn a lot more than you think, have some spending money and a leg up the ladder for later. But don't get discouraged if you don't, just keep trying and chances are you might get lucky. I actually hired a friends son last year and he helped around the shop, cleaned trucks and went with me on big wrecks to help and he loved it. He is actually starting full time when he graduates this year running a rollback.
Awesome truck! Just wondering why its name uses Tonnes? I thought in America weight is measured in lbs? Im in the UK where Tonnes is used for heavy vehicles normally.
I hope prospective buyers of these big rigs have a comprehensive questionnaire to fill out listing the features they want and where to put them on the truck, because the amount of gear stored in the vehicle is too much to convey on a single sales slip.
This guy reminds me of Larry "Bud" Melman (Calvert DeForest) doing interviews on The Late Show where he forgets to talk into the mic, or hits the mic on things, or just goes blank.
@@andrewcox7416 I get that but it's like a mechanics tool box. I don't have one specific tool box setup I keep. I keep moving things to keep it up to my liking. It's the same concept in a row truck that's why I don't understand. Every single driver has a specific spot for everything.
Dano Kerr I hear what you’re saying on that part, I run a lowbed as well as a dove tail Landoll and I make slight tweaks to my set up every so often but the general concept stays the same, with a specific line of work and many years in an industry you can pretty much get it dialed in right from the get go, my company has done work with the Mod Squad and by no means is this their first rodeo
Dano Kerr That would be called taking a calculated risk, that’s most likely going to a veteran driver with years and years of experience. To get a rig like that and then quit would be a pretty unlikely circumstance.
And here is a guy who destroys a transmission because he thinks it's "manly" to jam gears without using the clutch. So, what do you call the vehicle that collects garbage? A garbage ________? That big vehicle that responds to a house fire, a Fire ______?
@@ctdjtrucking5700 You like "old school"??? So you do not have power steering, power brakes, diesel engine, radio, electric wipers, air conditioning, just keepin' it "old school".
Jerr-Dan, Jerr-Dan, Jerr-Dan you have awesome rigs
I’m super happy this company is on UA-cam
That's a whole lot of money right there! She's a beautiful beast to say the least
Beautiful set up
That’s simply an amazing rig!
Love those decals, paint scheme. Nice layout of tools, equipment.
Chris you have the best channel on UA-cam
agreed
Thanks!
Hey I’m 15 years old and I love your videos!
Amazing rig. Thanks Chris for showing us this👍💥
Great Video, Thank you for covering the Tow Show

@@JacksonGuitarsPlayer03 No,I have a tow company in NJ. But he has a very good reputation in the business.
SouthJerseySound oh ok. You said that you bought the company from your old boss. Thought you meant Modzelewskis.

Seen this truck today on I-78 in NJ...was a lil dirty but it still stood out from the rest
gotta love them rotators
I just recently got my 74 kW lw900 wrecker finished all it needs now are brakes on the 2 front axles. I had to swap the original motor though.
Can’t wait to see it on the road in 🇯🇲
Could you please come to Oregon and do a interview on a log truck
Gonna work there in a couple years. I live in Danbury Connecticut where modzelewskis is located

Lindo vídeo
I see this truck at wishes on wheels love this truck
Tremendous
is it 50 ton or 60 ton and do you make an 80 ton
Cool 😀
How much does the tow truck weighs?
What’s the weight on that monster?
Nice trucc minus the automatic #manualforlife
Hmm! I agree because I've driven automatics and never liked but to each is own. Call me crazy I still love grabbing gears in a big truck. 👍
@@marksmith6447 I'm the same but in a heavy wrecker you're in traffic 90% of the time and at all hours. So its the one spot I appreciate the auto.
Undereach winch??? You mean the drag or deck winch?
With all of the stuff pre organized when you want to add things you're screwed because everything is already in tool boxes
I’d have to assume with the time and money that goes into these builds that the buyer played a part in how the truck was laid out

@@andrewcox7416 but still what happens if the driver of the tow rig gets a wild hair and quitd
Dano Kerr That would be called taking a calculated risk, that’s most likely going to a veteran driver with years and years of experience. To get a rig like that and then quit would be a pretty unlikely circumstance.
How much would a truck like that cost ?half a million?
$1 million
750 000
Over a mil, most single steer rotators start around a mil now.
Is this truck for sale
I was thinking the same thing. This guy is a good salesman, he should be selling these rigs.
Nice very nice but I like the Century much better 1150 1150R 1175 all very nice.
A automatic is bring the new generation of Swift drivers and if it has a automatic it’s not a truck
And here is a guy who destroys a transmission because he thinks it's "manly" to jam gears without using the clutch.
So, what do you call the vehicle that collects garbage? A garbage ________?
That big vehicle that responds to a house fire, a Fire ______?
I wouldn’t say I’m destroying it but it’s better to be like old school trucking before automatics and when trucking was fun
@@ctdjtrucking5700 You like "old school"???
So you do not have power steering, power brakes, diesel engine, radio, electric wipers, air conditioning, just keepin' it "old school".
Gearshifter G Yup
🤗👍🏻
when you shifting gears you are more alert.. period.
Get hooked up with swift you could pay for that in a month
😂
An automatic transmission on a heavy duty rotator truck that’s my first time seeing that
FIRST TIME I DROVE ONE 15YRS AGO ALLISON TRANS ONLY WAY TO GO
@@bigc8300 I broke down and went auto on ours too. Banging gears is cool but at 3AM I could care less about being cool ; -)
Hmmm.
