Chevy truck blows a hole through the engine! 

Casey, I understand how you feel about road side recovery/towing. I have seen other videos where people hit a tow truck while recovering a vehicle. There is another pandemic in this country: STUPIDITY

you scooped that broke down truck so fast Casey!! Can't blame you for selling the flat bed and sticking to your offroad niche at all! Keep them awesome videos coming Casey!

Yes-sir, side of the road is not a safe place. Slow down, move over seems to mean nothing these days. Heck, I've had cars pass me when I pull over for a fire truck! Everyone is self-absorbed and not focusing on driving.

No one likes doing work that makes them grumpy! Seems like you're in a good spot to be able to choose what you enjoy and that's a great place to be in life.

Life is too short to be doing anything on the side of the road. Your wife and kid need you around.

Casey here in New South Wales ( Australia) by law traffic has to slow down when emergency service vehicles have hazard lights on that includes tow trucks. But people still don’t get the fact every one wants to go to work and get home safely at the end of the day. I thought the rollback/ tilt tray was for the snow cat. This video should help highlight the dangers to people. Well at least for a second.

I’m all for the rock throwing, with that said, I was in the fire/EMS business for over 30 years and there times a rock or Boulder would have come in handy…have hit a few with my hand and once with a Maglite flashlight, never stopped…..

I feel ya, I live in the Dallas area and had our trucks break down on the side of the highway. People flying by 4 feet away from you at 75 - 80 mph is no fun. Love the videos, stay safe and keep em coming.

Thank you for another great video Casey. I think that you are making a wise decision.

I worked for a towing company for a while (in a service truck doing AAA battery calls, flat tires and lockouts) but a former co worker of mine was just hit by a car on the side of the highway the other night (not his truck.. his body) was hit by the rear view mirror in the back.. thank god it wasn’t worse. I have the utmost respect for anyone in the towing field (including battery bitches like myself😂) and all first responders. Slow down, move over!

Can't blame you for getting pissed. People are stupid.

Excellent general saftey rule: If you don't like it. Don't do it.

Here in Sweden, protective vehicles with truck mounted attenuators for protection has become mandatory at recoveries along more heavily trafficked roads like the one you did this recovery at. It does a world of difference. Of course, that puts the cost for a recovery in a slightly different bracket. And even if it's safer, it's still not a delightful working environment with cars zipping by constantly, even if you're reasonably sure they're not going to hit you.

There's always been bad drivers but lately drivers don't care about anybody but themselves. Seems the hole world has turned to a heartless turd...

People have no respect anymore!!! I don’t even want to leave home anymore because I know I’m gonna get pissed!

It is a GOOD thing to set limits for yourself, especially where safety is a concern....

Knock knock! Who’s there? Connecting rod!!!

I RV full time. I've learned to do what the truckers do when possible: pull over and put a lane between me and the shoulder when there's anyone or anything stopped on the shoulder.

Best way to ensure you'll have a bleeder soon, wash the truck.. Every Damn Time!

Amazing how my people won’t move over or slow down for emergency vehicles. Dang

People just don’t give a damn about anything anymore except what’s in their own little world at the moment, they don’t think about the consequences of their actions and how it effect the lives of others.

People don't realize that driving is a full time job and they have to look farther ahead than 6 feet in front of them.

Idea: put some traffic cones on the road, but with concrete blocks in them? If they don't turn, their problem.

I hate it when inside parts become outside parts.....

So, 166+/- vehicles passed you from the time you turned on the roof top camera to the time you jumped back in the truck. Of ALL those vehicles, 11 changed from the right to the left lane before actually passing you, giving you a bit safer working area. Going with the best case scenario that all 11 did so because they saw a tow truck operator working on a job, that's a discouragingly low number of people who either know what to do, recognized, or even thought about the situation they were approaching to pass. Yankum should send you a bunch of knotted scrap ends in a bag for you to throw at vehicles. You could go to Austin' s and practice on his conglomeration of vehicle like objects. On a side note, that ol square body pickup actually seemed in pretty nice shape. I wonder why the engine decided to send strategic parts on an impromptu vacation, considering the owner seems to take very good care of it?

Probably isn't worth the price of the tow. Thought you brought the rollback for transporting the snow-cat.

Fantastic attitude!

Follow your guts. It would be better because you are doing that job. If u feel not safe, then pull out of it. Some things are not worth of risk to takes - we gave u 100% support. Anyway Casey, do we get a video on the crash blue truck? Sorry that your baby wreck but many are eager to know the aftermath story and pic.

Maybe requiring photos of where and how the "needing tow vehicle" is parked, would let you help decide beforehand? Plus think about keeping that rollback. it will make picking up new toys/parts easier! ;p

I had a combine blow a piston out the side of the oil pan. It kept running all the way home, about 3 miles. It just wanted to stay alive. No oil or water at all.

Hello I know what you’re talking about with the traffic A drive for 25 years From Atlanta Georgia to Nashville Tennessee I got out of it in 2004 because a friend of mine got killed by one of these drunk drivers I didn’t know what a tow truck was

I've made those same holes in the oil pan a few times on the same engine

that was a quick recovery but that oil slick should have been cleaned up. The tow guys that I know are obligated to have oil dry on board and are responsible to do the clean up. The cost of the oil fry and time the clean up takes are added to the tow bill

I’m with you about the new drivers! Everyone drives like they are still living in LA. I have stopped going to Bend unless I’m getting paid.

You seen much happier doing what you're doing now.

In Denmark you must call the police if your car brake down on the highway

Where I'm from. Tow trucks picking up cars on the side of the road, it's required by law that drivers treat it like a construction zone. Speed by, get a big ticket in your mailbox.

I guess I’m confused because when you started the towing company. I am pretty sure one of several jobs would consist of cars broken down on the side of the road or fwy! Just seemed kinda mean and cold hearted being that if I was ever stuck in you area I would definitely pay you to help me out! I think you might were having a bad day! Because you are a very nice person and you do a lot of helping and no charging which is one of the reason I subscribed to your channel! Anyways hope it was a bad day! God Bless God Speed!✌🏽🤷🏽‍♂️💯💨

I thought getting that truck to the roll back was going to be way more difficult than that. I was thinking seized engine with that pole in the way I guess.

Did you show him the hole in the side of his oil pan? Without the roll back, how will you get the Snow Cat to locations?

Ironically my friend was killed on a gravel road by a tow truck. He had is potato truck parked on the side of the road next to the field they were harvesting. He jumped out of the truck just as the tow truck was passing his truck, way too close.

I'm surprised to see that you're not wearing a high visibility jacket or something. I'd worry about someone running into me because they were too busy staring at the car I was trying to load up! Sucks that you had to clean the bed of the rollback. But at least it will be nice and clean, not being used again after this recovery, ready for sale!

I flagged once and used a shovel. Only got one mirror!

No good deed goes unpunished.. on a serious note though, roadside and accident recovery is not safe and gets worse and worse.. people just don’t seem to care that it’s someone else’s life..

a safety vest and some safety cones would be a good idea love your videos

Three Triangles and a 10 minute road fusee (flare) placed in the traffic lane behind your work zone! Make them move over! Or just say fuk them they can rot along side the road. You know the caring thing to do. SMDH! No cure for stupid but should not let that change you. Glad there are still some who still fight the fear and accomplish the job! This from retired street construction HEO who knows about traffic in work zones. Also retired from Volunteer Fire Department.

Dose the body have as many holes as the oil pan. If not it might be worth saving.

Sorry bout that, do not blame you; thanks.

Hey buddy I got a I got a question for you I drove a police tow truck for 8 years in the city of Detroit and I'm thinking about moving out to you so I'll go where you're at if you need any help

Snowcats going to be a blast this winter

People are stupid .. try dealing with a class 8 truck out of fuel on a major highway in southwest Florida truck on white line out of fuel of all things .. main fuel tank drivers side had to stand on the road and dump 10 Gallons of fuel in and remove and fill fuel water separator to get it started . So me when I got back to shop I punched to tool body door and broke My left pink knuckle . Smart move on me !

Yes understand people and there driving skills lately they suck!! But the oil on the bed of the truck will just be a rust preventative. Help you out in long run lol

Good choice I worked highway jobs people suck don't slow down or move over scared every day on the road that someone would take you out

what's sad is even with the passed law they still do not move over or even slow down. Being from Central Oregon the people here and moving here are the reason I am starting to hate it here and becoming embarrassed to say I am from here.

How much for the roll back?

People are Idiots on the road, i work across the street from a building / lumber supply store, had a guy pull out, on main road, road has so much traffic you pretty much have to floor it to get out. his strap came unhooked and the plywood he had in the bed slid out on the road. dam near got run over helping him put the plywood back in his truck and most of the idiot drivers did not even try to slow down, they even drove over 3 sheets we had not grabbed yet

Is there not a law in Oregon if Emergency Vehicles are on the road slow down and move over is mandatory? The towing industry has to be one of the most dangerous occupations. My dad work in the towing business back in the 1940's. After graduation from high school in 1947 he started working for the City of Greensboro NC in 1949.

Sell the rollback that will take care of it. Yes people drive like idiots

Casey, just curious what you use to swat flies? ;)

How much do you want that roll back

Quite pissy today aren't we??

Do you charge for these kind of calls

Hop u get enough work so I don't have to find someone else to watch .

Learn to say “No” 🤷🏻‍♂️.

👍

And he won’t like you wash itAnd his property

pro tip for all youtubers: probably not a good idea to make a poor business decision and then subject your youtube viewers to ten minutes of bitching. it will make you look weak and petty. better to simply state you've made a mistake and move on. should take about ten seconds as an intro to the next vid.

Your For Sale marketing skillz suck do not go into business making for sale videos LOL. B/O is a buck ninety eight and you deliver.

You complain too much for a tow truck driver

You live in a pretty liberal state, that’s 90% of the problem!!!!

Haha I don't have that luxury I'm an actual professional tow truck driver who doesn't leave people stranded because what if that was your family member or wife dude how would you feel if the tow truck driver was like nope and waved and kept on driving by amd if your worried about the risk and safety you should get out of the towing industry there is always risk and dangers I've been towing for 4 yrs and almost hit 4 times that's the risk you take going out and getting people safety out of harms way your just in it for a quick easy buck that's not towing 🤣

Lost a sub with the complaining.

I gave you a thumbs down for this one because of your rant. Yes, people are idiots and inconsiderate, but folks broke down on the side of the highway need help. Your job is to help people, if your not into helping, then get out of the business.

cry baby

Without grumpy?
