In today's video Trent Jr arrives on the scene to a fully loaded semi that is just buried in the sand. It is so bad the fuel tank is resting on the tank. As Trent Jr finds out, this pull is going to take a little thinking to overcome this hard pull! Watch how he struggles a little bit but overcomes in the end

Q:What camera do you use?
A: I use the Go Pro Hero 7 Black Edition primarily. Often times you will see auxillary cameras in use. Those cameras include The Go Pro Hero 6, Hero, and DJI Mavic Pro Platinum
Q: How big Is your rotator?
A: It is a 50 ton Miller Industries Vulcan 950
Q: Does the carriage slide back like Ron Pratt's?
A: No, the carriage doesn't slide back due to strict weight laws in California. The sliding carriage will make the truck to heavy in CA
Q: Why do you only have 3 winches on the rotator?
A: Comes down to weight again as stated above
Q: How many trucks Does Plaza Towing have?
A: Currently more than 30
Q: Why must the driveshaft be removed to tow a vehicle?
A: When vehicles are not running the transmission is not receiving circulating lubricant. If the driveshaft is left installed, the transmission, which is not receiving lubricant, is still spinning. This allows it to get very hot which eventually will cause major damage to the transmission. Therefore, removing the driveshaft completely eliminates the transmission from spinning. Simply leaving it in neutral is not sufficient since the transmission still spins in neutral.

Those wood blocks in front of tires are hurting it giving to much resistance

@plazatowing 4 года назад

Negative, the Resistance they create is offset by the resistance they mitigate by raising the frame/fuel tank off the ground. Hopefully that makes sense. Thank you for watching!

@SillyPutty3700 4 года назад

Assuming you are correct that extra force required to lift the wheel up onto the blocks is well worth the effort to prevent damage to the truck and a possible fuel spill. The operator has no idea what is under those tanks his best bet is get them out of the sand as quickly as possible.

@ericshimer6669 4 года назад

@@plazatowing Gonna say they will sink a bit anyhownamd get the truck popped up to provide less resistance from the sand underneath. All about distribution and minimizing resistance.

Good job, i love it how you keep calm and easy on the driver eaven though he got absolutly no clue. Could have put the rubber pads in the ditch to get the trailer a little higher. but you got it out without major damage and the truck was wrecked beforehand anyway... just look at that bumper, good call to make sure you dont have to pay for all the damage that the truck already had.

Nice job, nice and clean tow truck and good technic to help this driver. As a truck driver (Canada-USA), i know we all make mistake sometime. But if you learn from it, its ok. And when we, the truck driver make mistake, we thank heaven the tow truck operator know their job. Have to call tow truck 3 times, 2 first were really pros, but the third was a joke. I teache him how his rotator work, how to chain ect.

They can't all be easy money pits Trent😉 Looks like you need a bunch more blocks put in the truck. Possibly could've used them to bring the trailer in that hole up some instead of dipping down so much, seen Malachi do that a few times. Good job all together thanks for the video 💪😎👍 〽️

@Mahees_230 4 года назад

I remember when I was delivering ice to a shack on the beach. I was backing up to it in soft sand, and I felt the truck getting stuck. I kicked on the power divider and through some miracle, I got the truck out. I'm never doing that again. Great video as always.

@donotneed2250 4 года назад

I learned in 1992 when I'm about to drive on sand or soft dirt to interlock the other drive axle just before getting on it. Has saved me more than once especially when I drove for a company where I delivered to job sites a lot.

@masont2544 4 года назад

This truck is very similar to the MRVs we have in the army. Very cool trucks and always gets our buffalo out when its stuck

@chrisholbech385 4 года назад

In Europe drivers drove down to Saudi Arabia in the 70s and 80s and getting stuck in the sand was an everyday experience. You dug yourself out or you stayed there because there were no fancy rescue trucks coming to help you out in the middle of the desert.

@donaldbartram6315 4 года назад

Glad my 1st few jobs were in construction.. You learn a lot about sand & mud. Most new OTR drivers have no clue about sand 7 stone , &how it sucks you in.

@joryhuttinga6450 4 года назад

That was a pretty sweet pull!!

@billsmith8739 4 года назад

I'm surprised you did not fill in the hole after you got the tandems out so the trailer would not get in the same hole.. you did a good job!!!

@silentepsilon888 4 года назад

I think filling the hole with sand would have required a lot of shoveling, but even worse, it would have been softly piled sand that is not compacted and given the weight of the trailer, the tires would have sunk right into it as if it wasn't even there.

@tumbleweedking5668 4 года назад

Apparently you've never shoveled sand.

@mikemakuch2824 4 года назад

The driver seems to be new at it. Driving an older shaker from Santa Ana Ca. Not every one could tell that the sand would suck them up. Live and learn. That's what they call experience.

@peterrocco2888 4 года назад

I own a crane company and have 24 employee's. You can't fix stupid so you will always have jobs like this. It was nice to watch someone use common sense while they work. Sometimes you don't have to be superman just work smart and careful. You can work for me anytime. Great job.

@edwinschlee8374 4 года назад

That was a great idea about putting the spikes down. That was a close one to tipping. Great job getting him out!

@Murph9000 4 года назад

It wasn't that close to tipping, to be honest. By the time there's a 30° angle between tractor and trailer, the furthest steer tyre is getting to be about 10' past the trailer side. That functions as more or less a 10' outrigger keeping the trailer from tipping (assuming the 5th wheel, pin, and frame are good). Yes; slow, steady, and cautious are necessary at that point, but it's much further from tipping than it looks. The riskiest time is when the tractor and trailer are more or less in line.

@plazatowing 4 года назад

Great point! Ive had some trailers FAR further leaning than this one. With that being said, it still is sketchy lol so like you said slow and steady and careful. Thank you for watching!

I drove OTR for awhile and I have 2 things to say.......YOU need to be commended for the nicest and understanding tow driver I have ever seen and 2 the driver did not listen to you and your commands you gave him.......again you need to be commended for your demeanor.

@terrygreen3148 4 года назад

Gotta love it when drivers will not follow simple directions. I used to deal with pulling them out all the time when I worked in a mine. If they did not listen and worked against the CAT 980 loader I just pulled them anyway and if anything broke it was on them. That thing had twice the pulling power in weight as there whole trucks weighted. most the time a bump was all that was needed.

Going back in my opinion would have done even more damage to not only the fuel tank that was resting on the ground but the front end once it dipped into the pit. Nice suggestion though thank you for watching

@rammitimmahasshoool3693 4 года назад

I got stuck like this the same way, the truck was free but the rear of the trailer was dug in the ground. The back of my trailer was touching the dirt/gravel. Instead of the tow truck driver using blocks. He made me drop my air suspension and it lifted the back of my trailer over 6 inches. I literally couldn’t believe it

@petersisco2499 4 года назад

Should carry chalk walk you ( actually drivers should , I always do ) so you could mark where the tandems were set then slid them all the way back . That might have kept the DOT bar from dragging so deep ... but of course then the stupid side skirts on trailer may have damaged from dragging I guess 🤔
