700 miles on Collins tow dollies! Will they blow up?!? 

Driving through the panhandle of Texas once I saw an old stove with the oven door open on the side of the highway. Right next to it was a highway sign that said "Open Range"! There musta been a cowboy comedian in the area!

I'm from south Texas and we have relatives in Portland Oregon and we pass thru that route when we go visit.Beautiful open country.

Toverlanding is a very cool hobby!

Excellent video. That was a fun trip.thanks for taking us along

Great video and cool to see the dollies get put the test. I feel like I just went on a road trip after watching this lol

Just the fact that they dare send you a set of shitty well past their best before date tires shows what kind of seller they are! :-( That sucks! It's very nice to see how careful you are, checking your gear and making sure nothing breaks, loosens or falls off your load! About 130 miles between towns? I can drive from east to west across my country and barely drive that far! (and that's a nation with over 17 million people in it) Lovely scenery! But interesting to know that "open range" means that cows have the right of way, even when they are walking across a road!

back in my box driving truck days I'd Toverland too. You definitely get props for naming it Casey! What a trip!

That was a Long haul tow Casey. I thinking you enjoy the long drive. Thanks for taking us along with you. I’d fall asleep trying to drive that far. Heck, I was falling asleep after work and it’s only 1/2 hr to my house, lol. On to the next!🤙😎

That Simplot plant west of Pocatello, ID is a fertilizer manufacturing plant, I think. In the winter it can cause some nasty fog on I-84. Thanks for sharing the trip!

Great job getting it there safely. Sucks that your tires came in like that. That’s horrible!

What a great payday!.. good maintained equipment, and driving decent speeds & not overloading helps. That's a payday that easily paid to replace them after one trip if needed.. but there's likely plenty of life left to profit on. Btw, one lil snack size bag of chips wouldn't get me outta town. I'd have enough to eat both ways just in case lol

Nice trip to get the customer their car at home. Seemed like some beautiful country. You said you were going through Ontario, OR just before Idaho. My cousin 's address is Ontario despite her living about six miles west off highway 20 I believe. I have been there one time and stayed at the Holiday Inn Express. Stayed for four days and all of Oregon that I saw was beautiful green fields. I didn't check the date of the video but because you were driving your old tow truck, it must have been at least a year old.

Wow! You're brave Casey. Sleeping on the ground?? What if a snake decides to crawl in next to you for warmth??!! Or Scorpions??!! No thank you!! 😱 Motels are fine with me or sleeping in the truck. Cheesh!!

Just keep them aired up and with good tread, and you will be fine. Check them every 100 miles and you are good. No over weight of course

Me personally i would prefer to flatbed something that distance. With that said i wouldn't have any problem with using dollies that distance. It's just a preference. Keep up the good work. 👍

I have a sand rail trailer with small ties. I put new rims, tubes, tires on every time I drag it to go camping (3times) 60miles 1 way, I have a flat every time. The rail and trailer weights maybe 1500lbs, so I don't think it's weight. I never checked the date, I think that's the problem. Thanks for the insight. (PS) Cracked me up when you said "You can't scare the shit out of me" hope you know what I'm referring to, Thanks for the Vids

You know its a cool day and age when someone in a little town named after their main agricultural crop "Alfalfa" in the middle high desert land can make Vlogs and share them with people everywhere in the world including to urban Toledo ohio...be proud of what you have my friend, you are the American dream. 🙏😀🇺🇸

I don't understand why people are so scared about the small tires. I have a 45 year old trailer that has 8 ply 5.70 x 8 tires on it (upgraded the to Colins aluminum wheels this year) that has thousands upon thousands of miles, cross country, everywhere towing it at 65-70MPH, with no issues ever.

I love your attitude. I can relate in some of the things you say. Like San Francisco I get claustrophobic when I get down there and I was born there you don't like to be around a lot of people and you don't like hotel motels I get that one too. Anyways I enjoy your videos now leave me alone I got to get back to another one of yours. LOL LOL Joe Dirt

as an equipment mechanic who does side work on big rigs, i cant tell you how much i hate cabovers. the only time i work on them is when the owner doesnt want to work on it, so basically the stuff that is harder because its a cabover. had a guy who lost his fan belt and his pump to raise the cab was being rebuilt in his home state and was still running the truck. told him i wasnt the one to do it, i was also oncall for my company and had no plans to do side work that weekend so i could rest and it will be way over priced. asked me for my qoute anyways, told him 1500 he said he would try someone else. 3 hours later he called and agreed. aparently truck shops were 2 months out and everyone else who worked on trucks were 2 weeks out.

lol, good one! I think you have made your point!

Post office my asssss thats a damnnnnnn shed 😆

Bought my tow truck from twin falls 2 yrs ago.

Wild move by client. I'd bet the tow bill could of bought 4 wheelbearings.

Don't feel alone.. I used to hate motels myself but as Ive gotten older and more beat up, motels are kinda a must in my travels

Damn! I cannot do towercamping either! I have a sleeping bag but no tow truck! :D

That was either a current, or past Bi Mart cabover. Todd the retired trucker.

Cab overs is all we have in Ireland 🇮🇪

In the United Kingdom on that milage, I could do all three countries, and probably have enough left over to get to Northern Ireland! As for the COE, they are standard here so we droll over the big bonneted ones, :-)

3:56 I think you could get that post office on your roll back.

Next time you go through Twin Falls, look as you go over the bridge. If you see anyone wearing helmets, stop and walk back. The Twin Falls Bridge is the only bridge in America that you can base jump. You jump off the bridge and land below near the river.

Many moons ago I worked at a small truck stop in Wyoming. One of our regular customers drove a nice cab over while I was washing the windshield his girlfriend opened the curtains to the sleeper saw me closed the curtains quickly she was nude. Went inside he told me he brought his girlfriend and asked if I saw her I replied yes I did.

Is gona be my next buy

Simplot makes frozen & prepared foods for the restaurant industry. It's been awhile, but I used to work at a fast food place, & we got frozen French fries & other stuff from them...

Even DIYing that repair I can't understand how towing the thing almost 700 miles would be cheaper than getting it fixed where you are

Thanks for the ride, what town do you live in?

It would be interesting to see you weigh your axles with the lift out and in to see how much weight is actually transferred to the front axle.

I hope they stacked your pockets for this one ☝🏼 💰💰💰

In 20+ yrs I never ever did a log book. And I put street tires on my dollies. ( Larger Tires )

That must have been a really expensive wheel bearing repair. The tow would have cost just as much or more than labour to swap it

I can't find the part two . 😔

How often are you greasing Dollie’s and what grease do you prefer

Hey what happened to Part 2 video?

Can someone tell me if u can use a tow dolly with the rear dolly same time for long trip ? Cant see anything about it anymore. I realize some would say why? Just use one and pull but if 4wd or awd u need to get under and unhook stuff. Also rear end is low on a tow dolly so using both at same time would fix that issue as rear wheels are off ground too. Does anyone know answer and has anyone seen information. On this set up?

I think that I would invest in a flatbed.

Casey, Can you keep a sleeping bag in your truck at all times just in case?

Where is part two?

👍

Are you sure that you are not in Outback Australia? Your desert towns are just like ours, blink and you missed it.

go back to that truck stop and camp inside next to the waterfall.

700 miles in one day. Pushing that logbook just a little bit weren't you?

Nearly every truck here is a cab over

What Size Tow Dollie Tires Are Those ?

15 fuel stops later ?

That's why they make CAR TRAILERS, dude!!

I live in north Idaho

Whats your opinion on Fords new 7.3 gas in terms of reliability & maintenance vs the new diesels? Would it be more cost effective to go with gas in the long run? Fords New 7.3 gas longblocks retail around $7k where as diesels fuel systems almost cost that much. Do you know anybody running a gas light duty wrecker?

Dollies.. Pfft..that's too much work! I use go jacks at 80 mph... They make cool sparks when I drive! Just like on the 4th of July! 🤣😂🤣 Seriously.. I've repo'd AWD cars in broad daylight in front of the Deschutes County Court House in under 5 minutes throwing dollies... Anyone that says dollies are too hard is just inexperienced and or lazy...

Why not drop drive line

Hi, do you tow in California?

How much was the repair compared to the tow.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Is that a 7.3 in your truck or a 6.0?

You can buy a sleeping bag and tent at big 5 for 50 bucks

Towver Landing

Is that a hook + mileage charge, or do you flat rate it ? And do you charge fuel fee?

Do you need a trip permit to cross state??

considering using one og these collins dollies to haul an awd van behind my rv. think it would be fine?

Simplot is a fertilizer company

I have a question why just not tow it backwards if it's rear wheel drive?

😅🎉

What speed are you towing on the highway for this trip?

What speeds were you driving? I never took mine over 60mph and I think Collins recommends to not go over 50 or 55 mph.

Its Idaho man! Its a spud plant, Haha.

How do you charge for long distance tows?

Confused European here: why are there (random?) scales for cars on the side of the road?

Simplot fries

why didnt they just get a transport to get it there

That Simplot plant is a big potato processing plant

Why not just fix the wheel bearing?

Have you not herd of removing drive shaft …. Really

Open range ? What if cow is drunk and you hit him

I’m sorry but I don’t go more then 50 milles we’d dollyes

What kind of person has their car towed over 500 miles over a bad wheel bearing?..... probably a repair that would cost around $500

this guy is goofy

You got something against dropping a driveline. On dollies is just ignorant.

Casey, I need some advice man.. My In the ditch dollies has blown bearings on a wheel.. And I cannot get the new bearing to go in place.. Won't slide all the way into position acting like spindle is too big in that spot.. I can't get anyone to mess with it,, what do I do?
