  • Container Rolls Over on Muddy Trail Next to Live Train Tracks - 2023 is shaping up to be the year of our most difficult and challenging recoveries and rollovers ever. This one is no exception and EASILY takes the cake. We pride ourselves on working in limited areas such as near power lines or under bridges. But wow, this one took the crown in more ways than one.
    For starters, it was next to a live train track. Then it was a non truck or car route, on top of the dirt being horribly muddy due to the rain. This meant we could not back up a truck to it, and had to superman the entire thing with just one truck. This is where Big Flipper, our 75ton rotator, really shines and shows how powerful she is. You'll see from the drone shots how it was impossible to station another truck here, but Big Flipper was up to the task and performed flawlessly even with a full load in the container.
    Tons of rigging, tons of winchouts of my own trucks and many hours later, this baby was upright and we were back on the road to the shop. The rain made it impossible for us to continue winching the tractor trailer, so my dad came back the next day for that part. My only regret was not taking better cover with the Sony, as it shorted on me due to the rain and me not having it covered. Other than that, what did you guys think of these insane job?

What a hellacious job ...Assuming the person who put that truck back there isn't an owner operator then I would guess he is now looking for a new job. I can't imagine seeing that tab! it was nice of the RR to stay with you guys and help out with lighting the area up a bit more. I just can't see how that poor truck made it that far before getting stuck. I feel for whoever had to detail all of the equipment after this...an all day job by itself!! You guys just showed why you guys have the reputation you do...never giving up on the casualty. And a good nights sleep was had by all...cheers guys!! High fives to one and all!!
