I really should have put the the part in the video of this guy bringing the steak knife back outside after he went into the apartment. I may have put that clip in on a video. If you haven't subscribed, I may be doing some night towing in the future. May even try to live stream these impounds. Thanks for watching
I have some mad respect for you sir! Way to control things. Your job isn’t easy. You do a good job at watching your surroundings too. This is my first time watching one of your videos. God bless you!
When doing good service work. You don't have to watch your surroundings. People who call for help are usually happy to see help arrived. The only time for concerns was loading on the side of a highway. Traffic going by at 70 mph. But wait I would put my life in dangerous situations to HELP someone. Not steel from them.
Any car parked on footpaths or disabled parking spaces when their not disabled get my house keys scratched down the side. Coz my mum is in a wheelchair & is very old & should not have to go on the road coz some ass is parked on the foot path. But if I've already scratched 1 side of the car, then I'll scratch the other. But if that's done, I throw eggs on the car..... some people are very slow learners & I'd rather ruin their car than have my mum get hit by a car coz she couldn't use the footpath!😡😡😡
As a veteran myself, I find it appalling when a military person uses their service to either garner special favors/services or as an excuse for poor judgement/bad behavior. I know some have mental issues and can be easily provoked or triggered. But not this guy. He was trying to intimidate this tow truck driver. And the driver was courteous, professional, and nonconfrontational. I wish more people in our so-called 'polite society' would take a page out of this guy's book. Kudos for a job well done! You handled yourself gracefully and with dignity to your profession.
Eh, I don’t know. As a vet of 24 years in the AF, I don’t think he was trying to use his veteran status to get out of the tow. Now his aggressive nature was just uncalled for to be sure but I didn’t see him using his status to get special privileges.
My point was that many vets have PTSD or mental blocks and will suffer w/this the rest of their lives. The majority of us don't want that type of stigma attached to us. But it makes vets feel bad when people use being a vet as an excuse to be a jerk. One is not synonymous with the other.
@@keithbassett4988 I find the “one-termers” and reservists to be the most likely to use the veteran card. Heck I spent over 20 and I never mention it now that I’m out unless it comes up in conversation.
As a Marine I had to keep my vehicle squared away. I'm retired now from the private sector but it's my responsibility to obey the law. Former military should not get any breaks. On the contrary, we should set an example of what a citizen should behave like. Semper Fi.
Dude, just watched this video! Your sensitivity with that mother and child was great to see, but your skill and diplomacy handling the Veteran was awesome. Totally the right call. Not just because he's a Vet, but you're absolutely right that you never can totally predict if a situation is gonna unfold like you want it to. Respect for you just went up 100-fold!
The level of respect and kindness this guy shows while doing his job. Most people probably hate the tow man, but with each show of kindness and respect you are changing that.
The vet knows he was in the wrong on his tag. Probably why he backed the car in trying to hide his expired rear end. And yes, he walked into YOUR space, tow man. He acted like you stepped to him...LOL.
They always want discounts and special treatment- when I'm bidding a lawn and they ask for a military discount I always charge them more. You don't really want them as clients because many are bad debts and late payers....
@@GardenerEarthGuy not all of us veterans are. There are plenty of people out there who never served and are complete dirt bags. Some of which you call friends. So no don't put all of us in the same group
@@will1867 I simply don't like to do business with any military people, from the 70s back it's okay, but everything current I just try to price high so as not to deal with them. It's just not worth the hassle and again, many end up being bad debts.
@@GardenerEarthGuy it's okay there are plenty of civilians that I don't want to do business with. And expect a discount just because so it just boils down to preference.
@@will1867 Exactly- The military isn't what it was and now is the number one enemy of The American People. For now, it's just easy to exclude them from customer rolls, one can only ask God to forgive them and hope they'll turn and become good, honest, people at some point in their lives. The video we watched is a perfect representation of how they actually feel about the regular working people they feel above and rip off. It's pretty sad to think America has become a Roman Style country, but look what happened to Rome.

Best towie I have seen ! True pro - access surroundings, constantly re access, treat debtors with respect while keeping yourself and tow truck safe. Top work
There's always someone tougher than you out there. There was an article in a Boston newspaper about a police officer who beat a UFC fighter in a street fight.
Michael, never a truer word. I've seen it several times before I retired and each time I was greatly amused. I think it's an American saying. '' It's not the size of the dog in the fight it's...... ''.
I saw a huge, mean high school football player go after his ex gf new bf. That was something! New bf was a stick figure with a mop of brown hair stuck on him. Every time ex grabbed him, new bf squirted out of his grasp and ran around him. When he was behind him he kicked him. He got grabbed 4 times and slipped out each time. The last time the ex got kicked, it was right in his squirrel snacks. A teacher had watched part of the action and stepped forward at that point to break it up. The teacher (he was old school and i admire him and his logic to this day! this happened in 1981) said if he had stopped it sooner, the ex would have just jumped him again. This way it was over. It was too! Nobody messed with the skinny kid again! Lol
I like how you're a cool dude just doing a job and not out to just collect everything you back up to. At least you also care about the vehicles as well and don't scratch them up. Good man
Johnny you are an extreme professional on hooking that Camaro. Taking extra precautions not to damage or scratch. At the same time your aware of your surroundings. Your a Master in your profession my Friend. 👍👍
He's giving YOU advice on how close he was to you and you shouldn't let him get that close. Says YOU should have kept backing up and kept backing up and kept some distance. I watched it again and you WERE backing up! Exactly how far did he think you should retreat? Clean off the property?? So, if his dog bit you, he'd probably say you shouldn't have put your hand in the dog's mouth! It says a lot about your character that, once he (sort of) calmed down, you let it go and kept de-escalating the situation. A lot of people would have stayed bowed up at him and kept the confrontation going. Great job!
I was wondering the same thing and then when tow trucker told him to back up the guy backed off a bit. You just gotta call their bluff bc that guy has everything to lose he won't do anything. I love how much compassion and respect he has for people's cars. He kept looking around hoping the guy would come out so he didn't have to hook it. That's awsome.
He was basically saying, "If I wanted to, I could take you down in two movements." Like, what was the purpose of him saying that? Why was that necessary?
Yeah this is tow truckers page shannon. And people wanna buy merch from him to support him. Going to a print screen place to have it done defeats that purpose 🤷♂️
@@richardlapoint1845 yes- I know that......but 2 start u have 2 order a service number- maybe he csnt afford that- or doesnt WANT 2 spend his down time keeping track of inventory, filling orders, shipping.......... I am merely pointing out- if he doesnt want 2 do all that- and someone STILL wants 1- a screen printer CAN make anything
@Chris Felkin good 4 u.......I dont buy merch from ppl like this BECAUSE- they almost always come in only crew neck and I cant take it- IF I get a crew neck shirt- 1st thing I do is cut the neck out into a V.....That's how I learned a screen printer can duplicate anything
Thank you for what you do for handicapped people! Can't say how many times I have seen people park in handicapped spaces and could care less! Wishing I had a tow truck 😂😂😂
Towtrucker. I can tell you are a good man trying to do your job in a respectful way. Couldn’t imagine doing your job and being as nice and caring as your are. God bless..
The guy was taking his car, for expired tags. If all it takes is a hundred bucks and they "drop" your car, that is extorsion plain and simple. Democrat!
I’m glad you stood up for yourself with that vet. He was out of line and took it to be a “teachable moment.” Wrong time, wrong place. Stay safe regardless. I love to hear you explain your methods for dealing with people too. Like the new mom!
If he was good it would be a cloth bridal. 3 inch yellow strap. Not chains. Also should use a block & tackle not a j hook to pull to the side. The j hook does damage to the cable. Stupidity
A man doing a job that nobody wants to do because it creates confrontation ... hats off to this guy, respectful, considerate and takes care and pride in doing it right.
Awwww you are so sweet when it comes to familys especially those that have kids either around them or hanging on to them you're smooth talking keeps them calm you have a special way you speak to your customers with the soft voice and controlling your anger God bless you
I am digging the CRX!! I have a thing for small, light-weight fun box cars. I have a 92 Suzuki Swift GT-i that's similar in fun factor to the CRX cars . Nice ride looks good!!
Having watched only a few of your videos, I have such respect for you. After today's video I respect you even more. At the end of your encounter with the vet you reminded him TWICE that HE moved into your space. Good for you! Idk, of course, but I think bc he was a vet &/or bc he is bigger than most people, he felt you needed to keep stepping back. He didn't say that he did not have to move towards you! IMO, he is a bully, vet or not. I thought it was great that you didn't let him forget he was in the wrong. He was acting very condescendingly towards you. You handled it perfectly; diplomatically, but still standing up to him. Great job!
I understand people get emotional about there cars, hey I love my car but as a Veteran myself the way the Veteran acted towards the tow truck driver was very disappointing. The tow truck driver was very respectful and it seemed like he was willing to work the situation out with the Vet as best as he could. I have learned that someone who really is tough or really is a bad ass doesnt need to tell you how tough they are or what they can do to you, they are usally calm and quiet about their skills and will react when needed. The tow truck driver was the tougher one, he remained respectful and professional.
I'm impressed with the care you take with low-slung cars like that Camaro. I recall seeing a video of you offloading a Lamborghini (I think?). Awesome skills, Towtrucker. Greetings from Kent, Ohio. ❤
I think you miss the point they are trained killers they will snap your neck in a heartbeat it’s not entitlement it’s in their training to take control of a situation
@@gypsydust you really don't get it, he is a trained killer that works on automatic in some situations and that was one of them. That veteran most likely has a get out of jail free card in the fact that he reacted the way he did. Its called PTSD and no judge in their right mind would lock him up.
3:00 I don't understand why her leasing office management is so strict with her. If she's a paying tenant, there shouldn't be a problem with her car being parked there whether or not it runs if that's her parking space. Why can't she have a parking space if she's paying rent to those ***holes every month? It takes time to save up money to get a car fixed if you're not rich, you jerks.
Man I love your videos. So glad you do this kind of work in my hometown. Keep them streets cleaned up. Many thanks from a fellow vendor. Appreciate ya bro.👍🙏😎
@@reedomannrica5687 , Just who do you think you are to pass judgement on someone who had the guts to sign up for military duty so he could risk his life to defend your freedom. It doesn't matter how rich or successful you are at your career, you don't ever have the right to pass judgement on another person, especially a person who puts their life in jeopardy to protect your life, property, and freedom the way cops, firefighters, and military people do. Shame on you.
@@room23productions12 , Since you agree with those who pass judgement on our bravest and finest, put your name on the dotted line or keep your judgements to yourself! Each one of our soldiers, law enforcement, and firefighters are worth hundreds of you and your kind. At least they have the intestinal fortitude to put their lives at risk to protect people like you who believe that freedom is free. Well guess what, freedom is not free. Freedom costs. Without military personnel, you would not have the freedom to post comments here on UA-cam. Without law enforcement, you would be overrun by criminals. Without firefighters and EMTs, you would have no one to save you when your home catches fire, you have a bad accident, or you are flopping on the deck as your heart stops beating. Chew on that for a while the next time you decide to agree with someone who shows contempt for military personnel. And while we are on this topic, many of our finest citizens are military and former military personnel.
Is this man single??? I wanna go on a date 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂. Been watching for little over a week and I'm obsessed. I can't stop watching them. Binge watching 😂😂!!!
Just because he was a vet why does he get Special treatment? They expect it. He screwed up and pulled the Vet card. No honor. Reminds me of the thin blue line B S
You’re the most respectable Tow Trucker I’ve ever seen. Unlike here in Virginia, you actually give people the opportunity to handle their business unless it’s out of your control.
As a veteran and spouse of a retired US NAVY officer, 25 years, this guy pisses me off! My husband or I would NEVER , EVER,...treat a human being like that. Decency, common courtesy, kindness are part of military life. This guy was acting like he was Bobby badass SEAL ..probably not!! People with real credentials don't need the histrionics!!! Thinks he is bad..he's just an ass!!
when i started watching these videos i was interested in seeing how you tow, but i find now that I'm more interested in the way Johnny deals with people. Hats off to you Johnny the world could use more people like you, :)
Lol that dude acting like he’s trained in close quarter combat or something when he’s prolly some logistics ncoic who’s been on a pt waiver his past 6 years.
4:35 too bad cops don’t think like you. 11:40 military people are like cops. They want you to respect then but they only want to return the respect. When they feel like it.
Seriously, I worked with a guy who bragged about being in the military all the time. I finally found out he hooked up generators for power. To listen to him you'd have thought he was a seal.
@@ourtime-downhere6931 I hate veterans. I used to work in customer service as a rep. They would always yell at me for a dumb discount that nobody checked about it. It was a veterans discount.. they have the most fucked up credit.
It’s because the car wasn’t hooked already, if it was hooked she would have to pay the drop fee, has nothing to do with the negative stereotypes associated with tow trucks.
He did take care of his tag business , he backed in so nobody could see the plate / sticker . . Isn't that good enough ? Just another slacker with a nice car and no sense of responsibilty .
“All it would take is two movements.” Lol old man thinks he’s tough but what I noticed was Johnny had his hand on either a taser or handgun ready to draw. Don’t think that would’ve gone the way old man was thinking, he would have gotten stung. He’s the one who came up in your personal space in the first place. Also if you can afford a 30K Camaro you can get your tags in order, get it together old timer.
You are a very HUMBLE and self aware man and I have mad respect for you . You keep it simple, to the point and are willing to admit possible defeat. It takes a person who HAS BEEN THERE DONE THAT to be able and willing to be humble enough to admit these things you mentioned in this video. Stay good man don't let nobody change you, ever.
That dude's behaviour is a disgrace to the military and veterans. Making threats against someone who is just doing their job, when he is the one who was negligent with his vehicle! That is appalling.
Mate, saw a few videos of yours, also a more recent, but I just have to get back to this one - your way of communicating, reacting and being peaceful is above and beyond. You know your job and you got the social skills as well as empathy. There‘s lots of shit going on out there, stay safe.

Much respect to you my friend.. handling the young lady & baby ... speaks volumes of whom you are !!!
Best towie I have seen !
True pro - access surroundings, constantly re access, treat debtors with respect while keeping yourself and tow truck safe.
Top work
So respectful and kind! We need more people like him.
There's always someone tougher than you out there. There was an article in a Boston newspaper about a police officer who beat a UFC fighter in a street fight.
Michael, never a truer word.
I've seen it several times before I retired and each time I was greatly amused.
I think it's an American saying. '' It's not the size of the dog in the fight it's...... ''.
Look up the cop who faught kimbo slice in a bare knuckle fight
I saw a huge, mean high school football player go after his ex gf new bf. That was something! New bf was a stick figure with a mop of brown hair stuck on him. Every time ex grabbed him, new bf squirted out of his grasp and ran around him. When he was behind him he kicked him. He got grabbed 4 times and slipped out each time. The last time the ex got kicked, it was right in his squirrel snacks. A teacher had watched part of the action and stepped forward at that point to break it up. The teacher (he was old school and i admire him and his logic to this day! this happened in 1981) said if he had stopped it sooner, the ex would have just jumped him again. This way it was over. It was too! Nobody messed with the skinny kid again! Lol
Not to mention there are a fair number of people in the world who edc.... and weapons almost always win.
@@jmo4026 Mirko Cro cop !
I like how you're a cool dude just doing a job and not out to just collect everything you back up to. At least you also care about the vehicles as well and don't scratch them up. Good man
that's not just veteran behavior. that's also entitled behavior. we're not all as dumb as that guy
I don't know why vets be thinking they know how to fight just because they in the military I seen so many vets get beat up on UA-cam
The amount of care put into not messing up that Camaro is commendable!
Johnny you are an extreme professional on hooking that Camaro. Taking extra precautions not to damage or scratch. At the same time your aware of your surroundings. Your a Master in your profession my Friend. 👍👍
He's giving YOU advice on how close he was to you and you shouldn't let him get that close. Says YOU should have kept backing up and kept backing up and kept some distance. I watched it again and you WERE backing up! Exactly how far did he think you should retreat? Clean off the property?? So, if his dog bit you, he'd probably say you shouldn't have put your hand in the dog's mouth!
It says a lot about your character that, once he (sort of) calmed down, you let it go and kept de-escalating the situation. A lot of people would have stayed bowed up at him and kept the confrontation going. Great job!
I was wondering the same thing and then when tow trucker told him to back up the guy backed off a bit. You just gotta call their bluff bc that guy has everything to lose he won't do anything. I love how much compassion and respect he has for people's cars. He kept looking around hoping the guy would come out so he didn't have to hook it. That's awsome.
That fool had a huge ego, probably was just a butt private his whole life
He was basically saying, "If I wanted to, I could take you down in two movements." Like, what was the purpose of him saying that? Why was that necessary?
Every tow truck driver i know carry a gun for this reason exactly.
‘I yank cars, that’s what I do’
Need a shirt with that quote
So have 1 made at a Printscreen place- they can make anything.........
Yeah this is tow truckers page shannon. And people wanna buy merch from him to support him. Going to a print screen place to have it done defeats that purpose 🤷♂️
@@richardlapoint1845 yes- I know that......but 2 start u have 2 order a service number- maybe he csnt afford that- or doesnt WANT 2 spend his down time keeping track of inventory, filling orders, shipping.......... I am merely pointing out- if he doesnt want 2 do all that- and someone STILL wants 1- a screen printer CAN make anything
@@shannonobrienartist4239 The shirt places do all that for the channels. Not that problem WHEN he wants to do it.
@Chris Felkin good 4 u.......I dont buy merch from ppl like this BECAUSE- they almost always come in only crew neck and I cant take it- IF I get a crew neck shirt- 1st thing I do is cut the neck out into a V.....That's how I learned a screen printer can duplicate anything
Your view on kids and how you treated that mom just got me to subscribe...some people just need a break sometime and you seem like a cool dude
Thank you for what you do for handicapped people! Can't say how many times I have seen people park in handicapped spaces and could care less! Wishing I had a tow truck 😂😂😂
You have a good heart! Thanks for being nice to that lady with the baby. May God repay you trifold Sir.
THE BEST TOWTRUCKER VIDEO YET.
I want this guy to tow my stuff if I need one!!!
Glad to see Cooler minds prevailed there at the end with the Camaro. Let’s move on to the next one Johnny. Stay Safe
This guy is a pro. Just got to show you, everyone has a job to do, no matter how unsavory it is.
Towtrucker. I can tell you are a good man trying to do your job in a respectful way. Couldn’t imagine doing your job and being as nice and caring as your are. God bless..
Listen, I don't care if he is military. He was unduly aggressive. Jerk is jerk.
Yeah, ex-military or not, he was just an asshole.
Yall just soft
The guy was taking his car, for expired tags. If all it takes is a hundred bucks and they "drop" your car, that is extorsion plain and simple. Democrat!
@Marie Michaels Most of you Karens are pretty masculine, and all of you are on the inside.
@Marie Michaels It is the truth.
I’m glad you stood up for yourself with that vet. He was out of line and took it to be a “teachable moment.” Wrong time, wrong place.
Stay safe regardless. I love to hear you explain your methods for dealing with people too. Like the new mom!
Wow, hes amazing he put a blanket under the front skirt to stop it from scraping... Thats very very good.. 99% dont even consider that.
Yep, Johnny is tops.
That was some smart careful work we see being done
Those Camaro's really are a beautiful car.
A tow truck driver with a conscience... can you imagine?
If he was good it would be a cloth bridal. 3 inch yellow strap. Not chains. Also should use a block & tackle not a j hook to pull to the side. The j hook does damage to the cable. Stupidity
A man doing a job that nobody wants to do because it creates confrontation ... hats off to this guy, respectful, considerate and takes care and pride in doing it right.
Awwww you are so sweet when it comes to familys especially those that have kids either around them or hanging on to them you're smooth talking keeps them calm you have a special way you speak to your customers with the soft voice and controlling your anger God bless you
He’s a real one for being nice to the mom. 💯
Tow trucker you’re the man!
Non consensual towing
He needs to put that line on a shirt 😂
I’d buy it
He was a big bully! Good job Johnny, pulling the Camaro and handling the military man. You're 100% correct.
Bless him, he knew it too. That was exactly what I thought. You were the first to put it in words.
Beautiful chassis pull...didn't hurt a thing...veterans are no joke..
Being a vet I can tell you that the military is like any segment of society. Not all are virtuosos, and worth of respect.
The US Military needs to vet their recruits better. Would avoid them a lot of bullshit
"I don't care i do this for a living bro call the police!" Towtrucker keeps it real 😎
Po lease lol
Yah that was legit !
I am digging the CRX!! I have a thing for small, light-weight fun box cars. I have a 92 Suzuki Swift GT-i that's similar in fun factor to the CRX cars . Nice ride looks good!!
I would not trust the police if I were in this situation.
And nonchalantly making sure he was in the camera's view.
Mr. Yank-em' is a g. That vet was full of shyt because he was already in the wrong. You still OG! Love the videos!!
He is military that means he is low class trash.
@@reedomannrica5687 being a veteran makes someone low class trash?? You're joking right??
@@reedomannrica5687 WTF.....???
Hey man, much respect for not towing the car with a child there, much respect sir.
More respect for people who don't get their cars repo'ed.
Having watched only a few of your videos, I have such respect for you. After today's video I respect you even more. At the end of your encounter with the vet you reminded him TWICE that HE moved into your space. Good for you! Idk, of course, but I think bc he was a vet &/or bc he is bigger than most people, he felt you needed to keep stepping back. He didn't say that he did not have to move towards you! IMO, he is a bully, vet or not. I thought it was great that you didn't let him forget he was in the wrong. He was acting very condescendingly towards you. You handled it perfectly; diplomatically, but still standing up to him. Great job!
I understand people get emotional about there cars, hey I love my car but as a Veteran myself the way the Veteran acted towards the tow truck driver was very disappointing. The tow truck driver was very respectful and it seemed like he was willing to work the situation out with the Vet as best as he could. I have learned that someone who really is tough or really is a bad ass doesnt need to tell you how tough they are or what they can do to you, they are usally calm and quiet about their skills and will react when needed. The tow truck driver was the tougher one, he remained respectful and professional.
I'm impressed with the care you take with low-slung cars like that Camaro. I recall seeing a video of you offloading a Lamborghini (I think?). Awesome skills, Towtrucker. Greetings from Kent, Ohio. ❤
I agree. 💯 professional all the way.
Greetings from Kent,England 👍
He dragged the chains across the front bumper lmao
Shout out to Portage County! 🙂
WOW! Why do they feel so entitled just because their military-give me a break-“take a few steps back”LOL! You got in my space-
Thank you
*BULLY*
IMHO OF COURSE
I think you miss the point they are trained killers they will snap your neck in a heartbeat it’s not entitlement it’s in their training to take control of a situation
Mrflash222006 not a civilian. That’s not justification to break a law or be a dick.
@@gypsydust you really don't get it, he is a trained killer that works on automatic in some situations and that was one of them. That veteran most likely has a get out of jail free card in the fact that he reacted the way he did. Its called PTSD and no judge in their right mind would lock him up.
Always a pleasure to watch a professional at work!
3:00 I don't understand why her leasing office management is so strict with her. If she's a paying tenant, there shouldn't be a problem with her car being parked there whether or not it runs if that's her parking space. Why can't she have a parking space if she's paying rent to those ***holes every month? It takes time to save up money to get a car fixed if you're not rich, you jerks.
Thanks for the great videos.
Thank you for the donation Jeff, Have a blessed weekend
It's just fascinating to watch how they move parked cars like that.
Yeah and it’s probably ruined for life
Transmission completely cooked from the parking gear
Yesss
I know right
Don't let it come to that if u care lol
Man I love your videos. So glad you do this kind of work in my hometown. Keep them streets cleaned up. Many thanks from a fellow vendor. Appreciate ya bro.👍🙏😎
Looks like he played the 'military' card, and lost... You handled the situation well...Rules apply to all of us...
No passes given 🤣🤣
Dude you've gotta be the nicest TOW MAN ever.
when you need to boast about your fighting skills you have no fighting skills , it's called bluffing
Just cause your in the military doesnt mean you cant get your ass whipped
@@kennyeverett318 And that my friend is the truth !😂
Why have a nice car like that and not pay your tag? He came at you not the other way round. Stay safe. 😁
Why is paying for these tags not done automatically by the bank.
Because tags for a new car are expensive like 700 bucks
@@kille-4B because it's assumed that a grown adult will take responsibility for their own shit.

@@reedomannrica5687 ,
Just who do you think you are to pass judgement on someone who had the guts to sign up for military duty so he could risk his life to defend your freedom. It doesn't matter how rich or successful you are at your career, you don't ever have the right to pass judgement on another person, especially a person who puts their life in jeopardy to protect your life, property, and freedom the way cops, firefighters, and military people do. Shame on you.
@@room23productions12 ,
Since you agree with those who pass judgement on our bravest and finest, put your name on the dotted line or keep your judgements to yourself! Each one of our soldiers, law enforcement, and firefighters are worth hundreds of you and your kind. At least they have the intestinal fortitude to put their lives at risk to protect people like you who believe that freedom is free. Well guess what, freedom is not free. Freedom costs. Without military personnel, you would not have the freedom to post comments here on UA-cam. Without law enforcement, you would be overrun by criminals. Without firefighters and EMTs, you would have no one to save you when your home catches fire, you have a bad accident, or you are flopping on the deck as your heart stops beating. Chew on that for a while the next time you decide to agree with someone who shows contempt for military personnel. And while we are on this topic, many of our finest citizens are military and former military personnel.
Is this man single??? I wanna go on a date 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂. Been watching for little over a week and I'm obsessed. I can't stop watching them. Binge watching 😂😂!!!
Just because he was a vet why does he get Special treatment? They expect it. He screwed up and pulled the Vet card. No honor. Reminds me of the thin blue line B S
The correct response would have been, "You're a big man but you're in bad shape. With me, it's a full-time job. Behave yourself."
You’re the most respectable Tow Trucker I’ve ever seen. Unlike here in Virginia, you actually give people the opportunity to handle their business unless it’s out of your control.
I love towtrucker and how he handles each tow.
I like what you said regarding the children... Much respect sir! You have a tough job no doubt.. Be well.
As a veteran and spouse of a retired US NAVY officer, 25 years, this guy pisses me off! My husband or I would NEVER , EVER,...treat a human being like that. Decency, common courtesy, kindness are part of military life. This guy was acting like he was Bobby badass SEAL ..probably not!! People with real credentials don't need the histrionics!!!
Thinks he is bad..he's just an ass!!
when i started watching these videos i was interested in seeing how you tow, but i find now that I'm more interested in the way Johnny deals with people. Hats off to you Johnny the world could use more people like you, :)
Lol that dude acting like he’s trained in close quarter combat or something when he’s prolly some logistics ncoic who’s been on a pt waiver his past 6 years.
Ahahahaha
Oh he could probably do something before he got to be an old guy with bad knees. Dude could hardly walk.
Lmao
All bark no byte. He’s an out of shape has been.
You don't know that lmaooo but this is funny tho
I'm "hooked" on Towtrucker. :)
Stay safe Johnny, like always you handled it perfectly!! Keep up the great work.
You know when to call it quits ! That was well handled , you've obviously been in this situation before . Good stuff!
4:35 too bad cops don’t think like you.
11:40 military people are like cops. They want you to respect then but they only want to return the respect. When they feel like it.
VETERAN infantry soldier here.
This guy is a cook or barber.
Talking like he's delta
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The first people to tell you they’re a vet are the people listed above
Nif...non infantry fuck...camaro boy.
Seriously, I worked with a guy who bragged about being in the military all the time. I finally found out he hooked up generators for power. To listen to him you'd have thought he was a seal.
He went into special forces with Jeremy Dewitt
@@ourtime-downhere6931 I hate veterans. I used to work in customer service as a rep. They would always yell at me for a dumb discount that nobody checked about it. It was a veterans discount.. they have the most fucked up credit.
A tow like that definitely would get your heart pumping. You seem to read people well. Be safe enjoy the weekend
Tow trucker wasn’t having it, good job brother.
You not towing that woman's car with the baby shows your integrity and dignity which most ppl in your line of work wouldn't. Salute to you!!!!
It’s because the car wasn’t hooked already, if it was hooked she would have to pay the drop fee, has nothing to do with the negative stereotypes associated with tow trucks.
The Vet stopped when he saw you reach for your hip.
Camaro guy so smart, then why can’t he take care of his tag business...
He did take care of his tag business , he backed in so nobody could see the plate / sticker . . Isn't that good enough ? Just another slacker with a nice car and no sense of responsibilty .
I m with the host - it’s not that the Camero guy is smart , it’s that he has seen how people can hurt quickly, decisively.
As someone trying to take care of my tag business, the state doesn’t make it easy lol. I’m in Commifornia though.
I think it's obvious the guy isn't too smart the way he kept tugging at the door handle even after he realized the door was locked.
In Texas they don’t do that if you have expired registration. They should.
Job well done Johnny. He was a large man, I'm sure you had the adrenaline tingles for a few minutes.
That’s why I like watching your videos because you have morals and kids come first in my world
Lets just say that real badasses don't have to flex nuts, because real bad asses know they gotem'.
“All it would take is two movements.”
Lol old man thinks he’s tough but what I noticed was Johnny had his hand on either a taser or handgun ready to draw. Don’t think that would’ve gone the way old man was thinking, he would have gotten stung. He’s the one who came up in your personal space in the first place. Also if you can afford a 30K Camaro you can get your tags in order, get it together old timer.
"Call the po-lease!" I was keyed up thinking he was going to grab you, but that made me giggle. Stay safe, tow trucker!
You are a very HUMBLE and self aware man and I have mad respect for you . You keep it simple, to the point and are willing to admit possible defeat. It takes a person who HAS BEEN THERE DONE THAT to be able and willing to be humble enough to admit these things you mentioned in this video. Stay good man don't let nobody change you, ever.
Johnny Towtrucker... A class act all day, every day.
That dude's behaviour is a disgrace to the military and veterans. Making threats against someone who is just doing their job, when he is the one who was negligent with his vehicle! That is appalling.
Mate, saw a few videos of yours, also a more recent, but I just have to get back to this one - your way of communicating, reacting and being peaceful is above and beyond. You know your job and you got the social skills as well as empathy. There‘s lots of shit going on out there, stay safe.
