You must remember, that it is Casey's knowledge that makes the difference. Someone who would take less care in not damaging the rigs would not have had such a good outcome!
It is good to see how methodical you are with sizing up a rescue, running your lines, setting up cones, putting things away when finished, and figuring out how a vehicle will move when hooked up. Casey, we all learn from how you do your job and your knowledge about trucks and the geometry about moving them is amazing. Great job.
VERY professional and done without drama or self praise. All praise goes to his equipment and the driver's ability to follow instructions. Great people skills.
That was really well executed, and went really well, that Zacklift is a heck of a piece of equipment, and you have the experience and skill to make it work, a great combination. I love seeing videos like this.
That Zacklift is one of the most capable conversion units of any kind that I've ever seen! The remote is irreplaceable and makes all so much more adaptable to the situation! I really enjoy watching you solve these problems, even when you select what perhaps was the wrong vehicle for the job!
@@IamclaudiamarieI turn 75 in July and really enjoy Casey's recoveries. Not sure if this recovery was out US 20 towards Burns, but I drove through there on my way to Boise in the snow last March.
I’ve been following you since the propane truck video from last year. I’m always trying to find other channels to add to my list of things to watch. But you are high up there. I’m an older woman so the mechanical videos were not as interesting to me. I really like the snow recoveries. I wanted to say to you are very interesting and entertaining. You are friendly, informative, humble and very enjoyable to listen to. I enjoyed the field trips you took with your daughter… it was fun to learn things about your part of the country. I agree with some comments I’ve read… you ARE good at this!
Well done Casey. I am dealing with deep snow sub zero and a slow leak tire today here on Manitoulin Island. Ontario Canada . The Frozen banana Republic.😂😂😂❤
Having grown up in that kind of weather and conditions, I just love seeing a guy who's not bothered by the slippery conditions, and having the right equipment and lots of caution gets on with the job. You are beyond good and into great!
Excellent work as always Casey. I wonder if this trucker understood he had a way above average and skilled guy helping him. Not to mention the great equipment you have.
Never seen one of these rescues before. Amazing. This rescue worker is amazing. You must be a hero to those you help sir. God bless you and all who love you. 🙏
I subbed years ago for the off-road recovery, but now am stoked when I see a heavy wrecker ice recovery. It’s some of my favorite content. Content I never knew I needed. Thanks a bunch, Casey. Another perfect video.
Man you really do know how to handle these big rigs, I had hip replacement surgery 2 weeks ago and I have been lucky enough to find your channel, and love the content!!
If you like this sort of thing check out midwest towing out of Southern Missouri. He is really really good with the rotator as well as other equipment. Extreme professional.
@dusty1280 Please make sure you exercise your new hip, if you don’t follow the physio advised, it will seize up. I’m going skiing this weekend with a friend the same age as me (70) and he’s had both hips replaced, knocking about 20 years off his age! Best of luck with your recovery 👍🏻🇷🇴
@@clivehorridge oh yea I am only 41 and it’s been 2 weeks and I am walking with out any devices, but I really do enjoy watching Casey, he just seems relatable and realistic, and it might be the size of his channel but it’s really entertaining
Only 9 out of 10 today, Casey. You lost a point for forgetting the free spool!! Seriously though, I've only recently discovered your videos and I'm thoroughly enjoying them.
So nice seeing young drivers that know their stuff. I started in 84’ outside Chicago. Best job for new drivers to get.See every mistake truck drivers can make in 12 short months. Your doing so many things.Wreckers and yard jokey two best jobs for young drivers.
Well, we do have snow but only on a couple of ranges on the mainland, the Victorian high country and the high country in Tasmania plus a dusting in other places but nothing like you guys get. Remember the highest mountain here is just over 7000 feet. Apart from Tassie, none of it is near major roads. @@steveminton8329
Another great video from Casey. You are good at this, you are going to stop saying, “I never said I was good at this”. Thanks for the entertainment, take care, stay safe.
That Western Star + ZackLift were made for your expertise and knowledge to fully use their capabilities!👍😎👏 The remote is a great feature too! Great job on getting the trucker back on the road! Keep up the great work and stay safe out there!❤️🙏
it's almost like we're all in tow training, that's how your narration helps. I'm confident if the need ever arose, we'd be able to tow stuff outo of places following the Casey LaDelle Towing 101 steps :)
You are the first tow truck I have ever seen chained up on the ice! Thank you for that. I drive a lot of ice here in Wyoming, and get irritated with the drivers that WON'T chain up
That zacklift is one awesome bit of kit and as you get used to it the better it is. One thing Casey get your spikes on you boots don’t keep asking grumpy if he’s got his on when you’re out on an ice rink on your own . My motto I DONT MIND PAIN AS LONG AS IT DOESNT HURT. And those pavement s look really hard. Keep safe Casey you’re the best on UA-cam even bester with the zacklift.
You did a great job and you definitely made it easy looking. A lot of them guys make it a little more difficult looking than what it actually is. You stay safe man
Knowledge. Awareness. Logic. Equipment Investment. Tool Selection. . Communitive And above all, Safety. Not just for yourself but for your customer drivers. A Complete Set of Skills !!! A True Professional !!!! Be Safe !!!!!
Lucky there was no traffic while you were doing the pull. Everything went just like you planned it to go. Couldn't have been any smoother equipment wise and you did the pull without any additional tractor damage. First rate save for the customer.
You will love those nice shiny chains on those tires. I am 71 years old in Canada a Lyft near Toronto. It’s amazing watching you do the work that you do in such terrible climate, but it would be pretty bad if we didn’t have people like you with these huge trucks in the knowledge to help people out makes my day.
i thought so too @ 1st , but from certain angles i thought i saw glimpses of Blue on the TOP surface , @ 8:28 . • Some of those pucks ( various manufacturers ) have additional white LEDs ( tho sometimes the matching blue or amber color ) on the TOP surface as a "flashlight" mode . It may have just been in the wrong mode. • The early-model ones i have don't have that , but you cycle-thru 7 different patterns ( including constant-ON )
@@clivehorridge Too much of a hurry to toss it out and forgot to turn it on, but at least he got the orange one sorted before he tossed both. I've had one for many years and they are brilliant, as they also have a recharging facility if you insert rechargeable batteries - unlike the alkaline one's I currently have had in mine, for some 15 - 20 years now - (and they're still usable as the LED's take very little current to operate). I recently discovered an auction on Trade Me (a New Zealand, Australia - and looks like it's going all over the world now too - that started life as a local auction website), some six & eight pack toolboxes, that are fully rechargeable from the vehicle's electrics or from general household power, but as I am not into much driving now that I have a wheelchair & prosthetic leg etc., I haven't bought a pack yet, which I think everyone should look into getting, if doing a lot of snow & ice - high country &/or deep-inland off-road driving... ie: Such as this Six Pack: www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/safety/listing/4542002361 Many different websites have a lot of varieties, but they all do the same single thing, they alert other drivers to a roadside crash or accident site, or other "on-&-off" road driving hazard, long before they arrive at the actual site. I've even put them on top of cars I have long-rope flat-towed, as well as on top of my own "A-Framed second vehicle", that I (as a single / on own driver) needed to tow somewhere or to bring back, without driving it myself.? How does one person drive two vehicles eh ?? So yeah, I made my own A-Frame away back in 2002 when I bought a 1996 Delica 4wd Van - and still had my smaller (1st Gen Delica) Colt T-120-Y flat-deck truck, that I frequently flat-towed via A-Frame, around the farm colleting gates and or firewood etc., or flat-towed it for miles at a time - getting stuff from here to there & back again, just because I could.. My longest trip was in late 2003, when I flat towed it all the way to (AND BACK FROM), a sawmill in Tapanui, West Otago NZ, (taking the shortcut over the top of the Moa Flat hills) where I overloaded it with about 1.5 ton of macrocarpa beams etc, when we did our major house alterations here in Roxburgh, with the Colt, (no one inside) being A-Frame flat towed behind the Delica 4wd Van, after being fully bedded down onto it's suspension blocks, and with the over inflated tires, almost running flat? I dragged that sucker there and back without a sweat as if it were a mere trailer, as that was what I used it as, long enough with front to back load bars to sit it all upon. I have a video somewhere (on my main channel via www.L84DNR.co.nz ) that displays the old 1978 Colt - as I sold it here back in March 2017 ? Gezzsh all that long ago...

Cassey, I am from South Africa and only today came across your site m stand in awe for the manner in which you assist the truckers in your area. I have never seen anyone do things the way you do . congratulations and I will be a follower of your channel.
Hai Een schitterende video met mooie beelden van een interessante berging in de sneeuw je legt het goed uit wat en hoe je gaat doen top , heb ervan genoten bedankt en tot de volgende video 👌👌👌👍👍gr carel uit Holland
Always love my Recovery lessons on here! You are an amazing teacher, Casey! The Zacklift......what an amazing machine and addition to your business and the channel! The ice is horrendous for sure! I live in Tillamook and we were out hauling milk everyday in it. my trailer slid off the road when the road banked and the ice was so slick, we couldnt make it up to the tractor to climb back inside. You had to throw yourself across the ice to make any headway. Great episode, casey!
Thank you Sir!,Casey I drove truck for 26 years and I've had my share of mishaps too.Sometimes it takes a nice person like you who sees things weren't intentionally done and help people out like you did this guy and it all around makes trucking a better place to be,if people only stopped for one minute and see how far this nice deed you did for that driver will go,and if more of us did things such as you our world would be a better place.God bless!,I love you all!,Peace through strength!❤
Casey that Zacklift is one cool peice of equipment. Happy to hear that everyone was ok and minimal damage to the truck. What were the lights that you tossed onto the highway? They seem to be better than the reflective triangles for accidents . Great video.
A little trick I was taught in the army with all D shackles and pullies was to snug up and slightly crack it. This will stop them from tightening under strain.
@@CaseyLaDelle And why is the army wrong? Ive been doing it for over 20 years with no binding up on recovery gear and will continue to do so. Im sure the army has been doing it longer than you. if you are going to put someone's suggestion down without an explanation, you should elaborate. Placing a recovery hook facing down will cause it to dig in or grab on anything it passes over. This is wrong. Dont do that.
The shackles are meant to be tightened, if you leave slack in the bolt, under full load allows the shackle to deform. Pin keeps it from deforming, that's why the pin has a flat with a hole, you are supposed to use a tool to remove them if they tighten
@@joshmoe3680 Another 1 that knows better than the teaching of a transport unit in the army. I never once said loosen it, just crack it. I did that for my 20 years in the army and never ever deformed a shackle and never needed to use another tool to undo it, so you do what u think and Ill continue to do what Ive proven to do that works.
Good morning Casey have you thought about getting a new rear camera that works better? It could help you on some jobs. I always enjoy seeing the workhorse Zacklift making recoveries look easy
Good job Casey 👍 I just wonder if I'll be watching the short tonight like the last two videos 😂😂 I hope your shorts bring in more people to your excellent channel 😎
Get 10% off your Yankum Ropes gear here! bit.ly/CHRyankum

Hell yeah love seeing the Zacklift at work helping stranded truckers out of there predicament! Stay safe Casey and have a wonderful day.
I'm always amazed at the versatility of the Zacklift! Outstanding and safe job, Casey. 👍
Their lifts are amazing!
Those lifts came a long way from what they use to be.

Always a good day seeing the Zach lift at work.
Glad the driver was okay!
Looks like a sleeper team... Glad BOTH were ok
He didn't crash, merely slid off the road 😂
With every pull, we get to see just how awesome the Zacklift is. Awesome pull Casey, well done.
I'll guess Zacklifts is getting a lot of good advertising from Casey's channel.
You must remember, that it is Casey's knowledge that makes the difference. Someone who would take less care in not damaging the rigs would not have had such a good outcome!
You do such a good job of narrating and explaining everything you do, Casey. Always enjoy your vids!
I don’t know how I got to this video , but I watched the whole thing and this was really cool ! Great job 👏
Thank you for bringing us along for the ride Casey. Much appreciated.
I’m sure it was by design but the Zacklift has taken the content to a whole new level. Well done!
Ice storm and almost-ice-storm conditions catch loads of people out. Your truck stood beautifully firm in that recovery.
Another amazing recovery as always. Great job Casey...
It is good to see how methodical you are with sizing up a rescue, running your lines, setting up cones, putting things away when finished, and figuring out how a vehicle will move when hooked up. Casey, we all learn from how you do your job and your knowledge about trucks and the geometry about moving them is amazing. Great job.
I am glad to see you getting plenty of work
VERY professional and done without drama or self praise. All praise goes to his equipment and the driver's ability to follow instructions. Great people skills.
I do believe that a lot of praise goes to the operator of that great equipment too.
Your state got really hit hard with that ice storm. this is keeping all wreckers busy. Good job Casey getting him out!
I like how you’re putting on lots of video content… you’re subscribers are coming on up too… you definitely deserve it…thanks buddy…
That was really well executed, and went really well, that Zacklift is a heck of a piece of equipment, and you have the experience and skill to make it work, a great combination. I love seeing videos like this.
You can tell he has trucking experience, makes a difference.
Casey again your skills with whatever rescue truck you are using is what is needed for these stranded drivers. Love the hockey puck lights!
I’m gonna need a vacation after watching you work so hard this winter….
Hint, not anywhere that there's snow!
That Zacklift is one of the most capable conversion units of any kind that I've ever seen! The remote is irreplaceable and makes all so much more adaptable to the situation! I really enjoy watching you solve these problems, even when you select what perhaps was the wrong vehicle for the job!
One Man Recovery.. Awesome Job Casey
That Zach Lift is paying for itself.
Perfect combo.. you, the truck, and the Zach Lift

Well done Casey. I am dealing with deep snow sub zero and a slow leak tire today here on Manitoulin Island. Ontario Canada . The Frozen banana Republic.😂😂😂❤
Low tire pressure will give better traction.... you must have the new smart tires I heard about 😅
I have been there before, on our way to Cockburn Island.
You have deep snow in Manitoulin? Heck hardly any here in the Soo! Man I hope there isn’t much snow west of Gore Bay it won’t be good for the deer!
@@RNP69 sounds mighty painful
Your videos make it clear how lucky those of us who can hunker down when we see the forecast are. Thanks truckers and towers for keeping us goin
Great recovery. I enjoy you doing these jobs. I'm so glad that no one was hurt and not the truck so much. Thank you for sharing! Keep safe! 😊

Never seen one of these rescues before. Amazing. This rescue worker is amazing. You must be a hero to those you help sir. God bless you and all who love you. 🙏
Nice work Casey, seems anyone can drive on ice and slick roads! It’s stopping and turning that’s the trick!
Yup! You can turn that wheel and gently press the brake pedal but its not going to do much! 🙂 Stomping on the brakes is even worse! 🙂
I subbed years ago for the off-road recovery, but now am stoked when I see a heavy wrecker ice recovery. It’s some of my favorite content. Content I never knew I needed. Thanks a bunch, Casey. Another perfect video.
Love your work Casey. Thanks for taking us along with you and for the explanations. Stay safe out there!
Your big wrecker is amazing, The Zacklift is one amazing wrecker attachment for a large semi......
The Western Star and the Zacklift are the two best purchases you have ever made.
Brings back memories of good old Oregon freezing rain. But once again a customer who knew who to call for a difficult job. Good work.
Nice work Casey! I’m so glad that the traffic was light. ✌️
Impressive how fast this truck has been released, you did a great job without wasting a single minute. Well done!
Love it when a plan comes together. Awesome recovery.
Love the Attitude of the guy with the broken spring! Life throws us curve balls and being positive gets us through it!
You make it all look so easy Casey. My experience tells me different though lol.
Casey, you are a master with that Zachlift! Awesome job sir.
You and that Zacklift have been working your butts off lately!

Thank you Sir!,Casey I drove truck for 26 years and I've had my share of mishaps too.Sometimes it takes a nice person like you who sees things weren't intentionally done and help people out like you did this guy and it all around makes trucking a better place to be,if people only stopped for one minute and see how far this nice deed you did for that driver will go,and if more of us did things such as you our world would be a better place.God bless!,I love you all!,Peace through strength!❤
Nice smooth recovery!
Casey, terrible conditions but well done . Stay safe.🇦🇺🍻
Casey that Zacklift is one cool peice of equipment. Happy to hear that everyone was ok and minimal damage to the truck. What were the lights that you tossed onto the highway? They seem to be better than the reflective triangles for accidents . Great video.
A little trick I was taught in the army with all D shackles and pullies was to snug up and slightly crack it. This will stop them from tightening under strain.
The army was wrong. Don’t do that.
@@CaseyLaDelle And why is the army wrong? Ive been doing it for over 20 years with no binding up on recovery gear and will continue to do so. Im sure the army has been doing it longer than you. if you are going to put someone's suggestion down without an explanation, you should elaborate. Placing a recovery hook facing down will cause it to dig in or grab on anything it passes over. This is wrong. Dont do that.
We've all been doing it this way . 40 yrs for me, but I'm stupid just ask Casey
The shackles are meant to be tightened, if you leave slack in the bolt, under full load allows the shackle to deform. Pin keeps it from deforming, that's why the pin has a flat with a hole, you are supposed to use a tool to remove them if they tighten
@@joshmoe3680 Another 1 that knows better than the teaching of a transport unit in the army. I never once said loosen it, just crack it. I did that for my 20 years in the army and never ever deformed a shackle and never needed to use another tool to undo it, so you do what u think and Ill continue to do what Ive proven to do that works.
That was a challenge and you pulled it just right. I was telling my youngest sister about you. She grew up in southern Oregon which she truly enjoyed.
Good morning Casey have you thought about getting a new rear camera that works better? It could help you on some jobs. I always enjoy seeing the workhorse Zacklift making recoveries look easy
Holy crap, batman, how are you even walking on that? Well done, and excellent. Wowzers.
Good job Casey 👍
I just wonder if I'll be watching the short tonight like the last two videos 😂😂
I hope your shorts bring in more people to your excellent channel 😎

Rain on ise is the absolute worst. Surprised none of you went down on it as well. No traffic kept the anxiety really low. Well done!
Im curious what a recovery like this would cost?
Nice work Casey. Amazing rig, and operator.
Guessing $750-$1000
