    Wow, I've never seen a recovery that's landed a truck that smooth before. So calm controlled and professionally done. Way much better than any big bucks discovery channel production

    Now for the big question will the scrap all the batteries or sell or use them?

    • @WilcoxGarageRecovery
      @WilcoxGarageRecovery  Рік тому

      The trucking company sent another truck 2 days later to finish the delivery to Ford. It's hard telling if Ford will accept them, or reject the load once they arrived.

    • @dannylim3318
      @dannylim3318 Рік тому

      Ford will most likely reject the batteries since the crash may have caused micro-fractures in the battery cases. This will potentially cause problems for the end user. The trucking company's insurance will most likely pay out a claim.

    • @WilcoxGarageRecovery
      @WilcoxGarageRecovery  Рік тому +1

      @@dannylim3318 This is what everyone would hope would happen! Depends if there's a shortage of these batteries or if it would hold up production...they may end up getting inspected and sorted.

    • @WilcoxGarageRecovery
      @WilcoxGarageRecovery  Рік тому +2

      Unfortunately with the power pole and guide wire cable, it had to be winched backwards away from there to safely upright it. With the snow and the mud making conditions slippery, there most likely was not much more additional damage done than when the truck already flipped
