Q:What camera do you use?
A: I use the Go Pro Hero 7 Black Edition primarily. Often times you will see auxillary cameras in use. Those cameras include The Go Pro Hero 6, Hero, and DJI Mavic Pro Platinum
Q: How big Is your rotator?
A: It is a 50 ton Miller Industries Vulcan 950
Q: Does the carriage slide back like Ron Pratt's?
A: No, the carriage doesn't slide back due to strict weight laws in California. The sliding carriage will make the truck to heavy in CA
Q: Why do you only have 3 winches on the rotator?
A: Comes down to weight again as stated above
Q: How many trucks Does Plaza Towing have?
A: Currently more than 30
Q: Why must the driveshaft be removed to tow a vehicle?
A: When vehicles are not running the transmission is not receiving circulating lubricant. If the driveshaft is left installed, the transmission, which is not receiving lubricant, is still spinning. This allows it to get very hot which eventually will cause major damage to the transmission. Therefore, removing the driveshaft completely eliminates the transmission from spinning. Simply leaving it in neutral is not sufficient since the transmission still spins in neutral.
Curious as to why you didn’t use the pivot point to pull it straight back the first time. You would no have caused the extra damage on the rear fenders at the bed.
Matt knows what to do from Matt’s Off Road Recovery pull it out and it’s done
@@TonightGamer1987 Yeah.. this was rough to watch. lol..
Lets pull the truck up and block the exit hole and make this recovery 100x harder than it needs to be. smh
Great Father and Son team work got it out of there!
Love the video and the respect you and dad have for each other and yet again no drama just turn up and get the job done well done 👍 to you both 👏
Woo hoo I love car fishing with the tator!! Kudos for placing it directly onto the flatbed too in one clean shot
I like that video Daryl and Josh from Pepe's Towing pulling out that bus need more videos like that work together with the rotators
Too bad they don't live close to each other.
@@kempo_95 yah they are not really in the same service area so it is a rare occurrence
They are 130mi apart , so that's a 2h45 drive in ideal traffic conditions !! So working together is not easy from an economics point of view.
Llll

Another great job Trent.. BTW is was nice to see some teamwork with Darl and Josh from Pepe's. It would have been nice to see the Plaza side of that recovery. It was nice to hear that Darl was given credit for showing Josh how to get it done. :)
Darl has a ton more experience, and I was very glad he was there with me on that job
@@PepesTowingService Darl had some good teachers in Trent Jr and Trent Sr, :) It's only to bad that the California weight restriction prevent you and Plaza from having a carriage boom like Ron Pratt. Keep up the good work and videos.
@@michaelrocker9000 honestly, I've never once done a job and said to myself "damn I can't do this, if only I could slide back". Besides, if you watch my videos I work almost exclusively off the side. 9/10 rotator jobs I do off the side where a sliding boom would do nothing for me.
@@PepesTowingService Josh you need to check out Sumter Wrecker service in South Carolina Hal and his top man Wilbert use older V70's no taters. Recently Hal who is a volunteer firefighter took an older spare fire truck out to Mayfield Kentucky. He racked up some big miles towing it out there. He thought about loading it up on a Landoll but they packed the fire truck with so much emergency gear it would have been overweight. Keep up the great videos and be glad the last fishing trip was in shallow water.
I grew up in Indio. Travelled the Palms to Pines Hwy many times. Saw a few wrecks past the guardrails, but never saw a recovery up there...until now. Good job.
Me too. I had a really bad one happen right in front of me. I always was careful going up and down that hill. The first time was in 1954.
Opening scenes of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World filmed up there.
@@marycarricaburu3683 I saw an accident there a couple year's back, the kid was hurt pretty severely. Definitely beautiful scenic route
Great job Trent. The first time I drove that stretch of Highway 74 was in 1956 when I was 21 years old. I have driven it many many times since then. Of course the first time was the scariest. It is one of those roads that is fun to drive but you had better pay attention.

Nice to see a father son team working together flawlessly!
Awesome video Trent and it's nice seeing you and your Dad working together!! . You need to put a mini fridge on the rotator
He should get with Josh at Pepe's. Josh has a shop mechanic nicknamed MacGyver, because of his ability to rig up anything😊 he rigged up a mini fridge in Josh's rotator, then later rigged up a water system to clean up after each job😂😊
Driver to Insurance Co.: "Yeah, I had a little accident...but the alarm still works." 😀
Insurance Co: So where are the keys?
Driver: umm... I don't know.
It's not entirely perspective: pickup trucks actually tend to lift nose-down because they're front-heavy. I _almost_ learned that the hard way when I was starting out on a two-post lift in the shop.
Keep the vids coming!!
I know that road very well.
I used to live at the base of 74 in Palm Desert, and worked in Temecula.
Took that road almost everyday.
Now live out of state when I retired.
Happy to wear my Plaza tshirt to my local car shows here in TX!
Legend has it, that those drinking water bottles are still in that Cooler...
Those small water bottles that AAA give out to the stations are clutch 😂😂😂
Great recovery . Good to see you working with your dad . Great video
Great job Gentlemen, Your Peterbilt is amazing. Greetings from Poland.
Great video again Trent...
When i first saw the truck, i said to myself, this will be an easy Pick. Just hook up 2 Spreader bars and lift it up and out onto the flatbed...Does the Rotator carry 2 spreader bars??? If not, will y'all be adding a 2nd spreader bar to the Rotators Equipment???
Keep up the Good Work and filming all the Great Content for us viewers...
Gotta love highway 74! I grew up there! Actually, grew up on highway 74 but it was in Lake Elsinore not in India.😀😀
Nice work bringing that up! Me being a novice on looker probably would have done the same thing after examination.
The well maintained deef team lol hilarious to hear you two talk to each other lol ha what lol you do know there excellent radios out now. Lol
That was a good recovery u and ur dad did nice job
I wondering why the Flatbed didn't do the whole recovery process by it's self in less than half the time ?
I depends on how much the vehicle weights and how much force it will take to remove it. So the flat bed could do it but it would put a lot of un needed stress on the flat bed. Also it depends on what the police want they can make the call of what vehicle they want to do the recovery ( in reason )
Cause the didn't know how far of a drop it was. If was a cliff edge the flatbed couldn't do it. Plus the rotator reduces the damage of recovery.
Great recovery. Thanks for sharing.
Trent good job by you and your dad as always i enjoy your videos work safe
I run the rim slings from the outside in and run straps back under the truck so the straps come out under the bumper and hitch to lift it so there’s no risk for even a scratch on the bed. I’m a collision repair shop but that’s what I do when I’m in your situation
plaza towing providing rebuilders on youtube more content...lol
Nice job boys but mi favorite part of the video its the work team thats nice boys Good blesing your companie😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Question?
Why wouldn’t you rig the spreader bar up, 4 point it at each tire and just pick it up and put it on the flat bed.
Had to bring it closer first to do that. The truck was easily 15-20 ft out of reach for the rotator to lift it straight up otherwise yes absolutely that would have been the best plan, given that it was out of reach we elected to winch it as close as possible and then lift it out without a spreader bar because the angle we were able to get being it was so close to us allowed us to get very high above it reducing the veer angle. Hopefully that clears it up
@@plazatowing I was going to ask the same thing😂😂 thanks for the explanation. It was great to see you & your dad working together on this one. We don't always have our parents around, enjoy the time you have together. My dad is at an age, & his health is in a condition, he's pretty much homebound. 94 years old, just thankful to still have him around😊😊
Was I the only one screaming about picking up the Toyota hubcap? Lol
Car fishing!
Astonishingly light damage and no airbags.
That Tundra may yet see the road again.
It really didn't look that bad, couldn't tell if the airbags deployed?
If it does get back on the road, let's hope the owner gets new rubber for it first! (Those tires are pretty worn!).
Insurance company loved that bill.
Should have used a spreader bar so there wouldn't have been damage done to the tray
I wondered the same thing. Bed was of some value prior to recovery. I'd be po'd.
I would hate to see such "recovery".
Gracias por sus videos saludos desde Mexicali BC México
Amazing job by you and your dad,Trent! That was fun to watch.
I fell asleep woke up 50 ft off the highway, still moving, never did that twice. Do all things with love.
Those rim sling ties are pretty awesome
Nice job. Interesting how many folks didn't agree with your recovery methods.
I strongly disagree. I might have tolerated damaging front fenders as they have been damaged anyway but not the rear ones. This is completely unnecessary and totally avoidable.
Exactly if one of our operators did that they would be looking for a new job. That was a beginner recovery. Just goes to show just because you have the half a million for the truck doesn't mean you should be operating it. Or at the very least get someone with some experience to help you guys out and run the recovery and lay out the rigging plan
Piece of cake. 😎 Thanks for another great video.
Great recovery it's nice to see that you and your dad were together .
Was this truck ( Toyota truck ) driver drunk or just erratic driver .
This is a prime example of having to much shiny stuff and over complicating the shit out of a recovery
Why not just use the flatbed to recover it it’s not that far down
Guardrail post, concrete culvert, and keeping one lane of traffic flowing are some of the reasons. Thank you for watching!
i really enjoy the channel do you know if there are any channels that feature regular wreckers doing smaller recoveries i would enjoy watching some of the older recovery wreckers
Mckays wrecker service, Used to be a heavy recovery op but went out on his own with a smaller tuck.
Up in the sky its a bird no its a plane no its oh its just a tundra 😃
Good job guys!🔥 y’all make it easy 😎
From Fairbanks, Alaska.. Good Show..👍👍 On to the next..
Another example of why you should spend your money on good tires *before* you get the trd exhaust, plasitidip and the insta stickers🤣
...and install brain before driving
You will get better at this the more you do it. 😎😎
Plaza towing: this is gonna be easy
Matt’s Off Road Recovery: hold my beer
Hi Trent good video I think it’s time dad started to listen to son no disrespect intended 👍🇬🇧
Seems like there was some tension there.
Trent Cool video. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Nice to see you working with your dad.
Trent, you need to sell Plaza merchandise. Hats, T-Shirts, etc.
You did more damage than rescue. If this was my car you gona pay me for the damage . Very unprofesional.
Hello very nice vidéo and very nice day from Belgum 🇧🇪
Yea that is crazy sloppy work part of towing recovery is getting what ever it is out safely and without damaging it any further obviously in some situations we can't avoid doing certain things. But that was completely avoidable. Just because it's a wreck does not mean you can rip it out any which way and fuck it up further. If one of our operators did that they would be looking for a new job.
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota.
If u take long white zip ties and cinch them tight the eyes of the rim slings it a hole lot easier to fish them through the rims, just a little FYI!!! 😉😎
Good mention. On my previous set of rim slings I had that but these ones were brand new and I had yet to do that. Super helpful
Hard work and fun watching.
4:01 looks like the guardrail got bent a little, that’s not good
another good video, keep them coming
Hey now, I ran off the road just a little bit further up from where you staged. Didn't take out a barrier when I did it.
Nice recovery! That had to be a scary crash!
question on D-ring shackles. Do you feel that any given new D-ring shackle should be up to snuff, ie that it will handle the weight that it claims it's rated for?
I ask because I've seen some claim to not trust imported ones from big-box stores even with the rating markings embossed on them.
I was taught to buy American made products and you will get every pound out of the WLL. Most American made items of that sort have a BLL 4 times the WLL.
Great Job Father and Son
The rotated is a great piece of equiptment
I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE TO GO TO A GYM TO KEEP IN SHAPE
Nice job!
Hey Trent
I saw you doing pulling 4X4 pick up truck is not going to work but my best solution is put sling rope on front and rear of wheel then lift it up to move to flatbed for quick recovery time and save your time
😱 nice work!
!. I would of used a dead pull from the out rigger from the start and would of had it up where you could of lifted it onto the roll back in the time it took you to rig to the rims to heck with hurting the bed. It's gonna bend no matter what but the spreader bar will keep it away from the truck.
Great job guys
When I see a recovery like this, I wonder if the driver needed a change of underwear?
Enjoy the videos!!
You know that driver did😂😂😂
Nice job same in puerto rico aja o hell yea
43:20 Need a big old magnet on the back of that remote, same as your other heavy wreckers. On that note I have magnet on my phone case, and I'll never go back.
That was good to watch
Y'all are only an hour away from me! Located in Palm Springs area it looks like
two alfa males. Your in charge, 2 J hooks on the trucks rear axle and place it on the flat bead.
Definitely a better vere angle.
I think Jr. had a better idea.
Awesome guys- I love watching "The 2 Trents" working together- More Please!!!
Great job!
Good job 👍!
if you put a plastic zip tie on the rime slings is a lot easer to get thrue the rim
Thought you might have done a Ron Pratt move and just nosed the rollback up to the under reach and boomed over the cab to set it down on the deck.
Ron would have used a spreader bar, and not crushed the bed.
The Tundra needs new tires
I just want to Congratulate you on Destroying the Bed. Well done guys.
this makes me glad i'm a flatlander
Tell your dad. I love the hat.
Next episode: Snakes and chains
Why even bother with a sling? Snatch block to the rear outrigger right from the start.
I didn’t see any airbags deployed 🤔.
When you pro's get back, you usually organize your boxes and respool winches. How often do you check for hydraulic leaks? Just curious is all.
Can't believe the Airbags didn't Deploy, >Joe Baltimore MD
Where is plaza towing located?.
Ok, who sets their car alarm after crashing over a cliff?
Could’ve done that with 2 light duty trucks .
1 probably
Trent, I noticed that your outrigger pads are all together. Why not put two on each side to keep unnecessary trips carrying them. Just a thought.
He answered that one when they got them, They don't fit in the boxes on the otherside of the truck!
Slightly used Tundra for sale. only minor scratches on the front.
