Loaded propane truck rolls over!

  • This is part two of the stranded propane truck. After I turned down the job the first time, the propane company reached out to my buddy Troy and asked him to bring his 6x6 up and pull the truck back onto the road. Troy then asked if I’d like to come along and film to which I obviously said yes! So we headed back up and Troy successfully got the truck pulled back onto the road, then then turned around to head down the mountain. We all asked multiple times if the propane company wanted one of us to drive the truck down and they kept refusing and said they would do it themselves. Unfortunately the truck slid off the road and rolled into the canyon, but luckily the driver was fine. Unfortunately a big storm came in the next day that prevented us from going back up, and but the time it cleared, I had to be in Las Vegas for the CES Convention. So I missed out on the final recovery, but luckily Troy filmed it!
    Make sure you watch part one here!

      I disagree with this 100%. What kinda lawyer are you? I have very good attorneys and let just say the moment you ALLOWED the driver to continue driving during a RECOVERY that you were responsible for made you the rescue company liable for his actions. No sir, I would have said get out of the truck or I’m going home. I think the world has lost the understanding of responsible party. I would have sued all of you and I would have won for sure. People also need to be very, very careful what they put on youtube. This video plainly shows negligence and neglect of the poor propane truck driver during the recovery. I would have owned your rescue company before this was over. Unreal.

      That’s not crazy at all. That’s perfectly sensible, and is why that’s the exact situation here. The order to fill the tank is placed by the state in September 1st every year when the roads are drive gravel. Then the tank easily lasts them all year. That happened again this year, then at the end of September when no delivery had happened, the state upgraded it to an emergency order, and the propane company still didn’t do it. Then in early December once plenty of snow had already fallen, the propane company decided to send a truck up.

    That was a great recovery, I went and watched Troy's recovery of the propane truck and that in itself was remarkable, So the question on my mind is if the truck didn't make it up to the radio tower will they attempt to get propane to the station? Is it imperative that they have it this winter? Another video? I would think they would re-think their options before attempting that again, and maybe talk to or troy on how to get it to the radio tower. I've never been to Oregon, But my wife knows the area quite well and watches every video and say's I know where that's at , She comments all the time how kind an generous you are and it makes her day,Thank you Casey

    Casey I believe it would have been cheaper to let you guys drive the truck out because that is what you do for a living. I thought when a towing company done a rescue they were in charge of the rescue till it was done. The driver wasn't a good steering wheel holder in these adverse conditions, so now there will be a bigger tow bill and a truck to repair. That's my opinion for what that's worth. Enjoy the videos. Watching from North Carolina.

    Propane driver guy was uncomfortable with driving the truck from the get go and was not listening to instructions. He's also not very intuitive. I'm pretty confident that if a seasoned recovery operator had been behind the wheel the chances of that happening would have been greatly reduced. You all offered your experience and were turned down repeatedly. Excellent work by you all though. Precarious doesn't begin to describe it.

    That tractor without rear ballast is a candidate for a sure rollover. I have been around John Deere’s for 60 years and you raise that bucket over hood height then your front tire rolls over a two inch rock the tractor will turn over. We ran a school with a John Deere with a roll bar and loader on it and showed dealers to warn their customers to always put on rear ballast or a piece of equipment on the rear.

    Can't they chopper tanks in from a paved road so the truck doesn't have to go up? I guess I don't know what their needs are but I've been dropped off at a helipad at a radio site in New Hampshire that was totally inaccessible by vehicle and the tower operator hired a chopper to lower propane tanks onto the site pretty regularly. As the crow flies the mileage is much shorter than those winding roads. Just saying. Loved the video. Thanks.

    If it was up to Amerigas they probably would have left it there forever.

Terrible service all around so I found this particularly entertaining.
