    1 hell of a great job on this one. Most of the crashes you recover don't make me cringe. This one did. The story the street told. Everytime it entered the picture. It made it hard to believe the driver was ok. Oh one last thing. So glad that smell a television was never invented. The black sludge was enough for me. You rocked it and beat a storm. The man.

    I hate to tell you this but we were taught when my son played soccer that if you can hear thunder, you ARE in the danger zone to be struck by lightning. Glad you got done & out of there before the storm reached you.

    One thing I've noticed is how clean your fleet is I never see any dust or grime on your tucks (outriggers don't count lol) , they are always clean even the tires look freshly cleaned. Very professional. I wish businesses here in CA operated like you do; 100% professional, timely and courteous. Keep up the great work And God Bless and Marry Christmas :)

    I think that your Rotator is the modern version of the one that I drove in the 60s' , 1951 Ford cab-forward w/Flathead V8 and Split-Boom . Good old truck , just had to remember to secure the booms together before driving off . I was 17 w/only a class"B" Chauffeurs license , my boss would tell me , "You're legal getting there" , "get there quick and pick the best one ." He owned a Body Shop .

    You would think that a heavy truck with a heavy suspension would have more control on the open road. But after watching your channel these last few months I am beginning to change my mind. Thanking I have not been in many accidents. One that was my fault when I was 18 and a few fender benders. I have never had a loss of control crash. I wonder if there is any hope for us who drive with lighter suspensions. I guess the real key is being ever diligent in driving. I know as I age (63) I try to stay off the roads at night. I only drive in areas that I am 100% comfortable and know. Rainy and at night makes me sweat bullets!

I think you should take your still photos and videos and give online classes for beginners. Set up situations and ask students: "how would you get this car out of a ditch, or upright this trailer?" You'd be great at it.

    That was one heck of a recovery. Good job as always, Ron, but especially on this one. Well done.
    Apologies if this turns out to be a long comment, but I worked in a new truck sales yard for a period, and I saw the bare chassis trucks go out and come back with whatever the customer needed fitted... However I never imagined how they could possibly break off like this.
    Two years later I was sent by an agency to work for a major coach builder (lol, seeing as I was a coach driver, and I have some metal work experience, why not).
    I saw the way coach frames were attached to the chassis.
    I'm back to driving coaches now.... All I will say from that experience, is, in some of the welding in the builds I now see from overseas (some poorer nations), I hope we never ever see, and nobody has to do a recovery on a broken coach body like this truck. Horrid thought, I know, But it plagues me.
    I'm sure even your own truck is not immune.
    May someone always be watching over us all.
