    Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching. Today we have a trailer loaded with an unknown weight of materials with one leg that punched through soft ground and is leaning heavily. Soft ground, unknown weight, and an old trailer make this job difficult before it even gets started. I'm by myself with this task. Just me and Tator, our Peterbilt 389X with a Miller Industries, Century 1150R Rotator towing and recovery unit. My common analogy, "there are many ways to reach 10," applies here. I could have approached this job several different ways. The approach method is important, but more important is achieving the desired result safely.
    I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!
    Mixing up the intros. Went back to my traditional intro for this video. Thanks again and God bless.
    Again, a very special thank you to all my viewers, family, and friends who having taken the time to show their support. May God bless and protect you all!!!

    Firstly Ron, it’s great to have the usual intro music back. Even though the trailer AND it’s content’s looked ready for the scrapyard, you still treated it with care and consideration. There were however a number of times when it looked as if disaster was just around the corner. Keep safe and very best wishes to you and yours from the UK.

      @Rebecca Daugherty I'm so sorry for your loss Rebecca. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. I lost my mom back in 2008. Not a day passes that I don't feel her connection from the other side. Be it within something that someone says. A song. Or even a task at hand. Always know, even though she has crossed that bridge of life. The connection and bond that you two have. Will never cease.
      I was devastated. My mother was, oddly like a daughter to me. I was my mother's keeper as well as my brothers. I chose that role it's okay.
      And she told the family the one that's going to be the most devastated will be my daughter. Boy she nailed that. Well she nails practically everything. Haha little inside joke. My mother had a huge run in with one of those automatic nail guns. Three hospital trips in one day. Hahaha God I miss her so much.
      I'm so sorry for your loss. Much love to you and yours.

    You never get to pick your conditions and you have to play the hand you are dealt with. But as hopeless as this appears you usually find a way to make it work and in most cases help's your clients out. So the wet dirt was the reason for the collapse of the underpinning(legs of the trailer)?

    Looks like the truck got a good detailing and the can is very clean in side. Would had love to see that job. Good work on the lift no one like getting under a load but you what you have to. Got though it safely. Stay safe out there you and all the crews.
