Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Fog is dangerous...PERIOD. This seemingly simple job where a truck was attempting to pull onto a two lane road off of a side road when he swung a little too wide and ran the tractor off the opposite side of the road. This blocked off the entire highway, in the fog, around a blind curve on one side. This could have quickly turned into a deadly situation. I must work quickly, yet safely, to open the road back up before a catastrophe occurs. Our flagship, Peterbilt 389X with a Miller Industries, Century 1150R Rotator heavy towing and recovery unit makes quick work of this one!!! I hope you enjoy this video!!!

My common analogy, "there are many ways to reach 10". I could have approached this (any) job several different ways. The approach method is important, but more important is achieving the desired result, safely.

Ron my brother is 91 years old and has dementia. Your show keeps him calm and he loves to watch it. I have been taking care of him for 4 years now. I took him by your shop the other day so he could see your place. Thanks so much for giving him something in his life that he enjoys. I love that you are a godly man and being respectful to everyone. At one time he watched the news all day and in the evening. I did not like this but now I enjoy watching your show with him. Thanks again and may good bless you.

That Sgt. reminded me of a time when I was "side swiped" by a young Lads manners back in 2015. I've gotten used to my military disabilities not fit for public, but I still try to live. After stopping at a gas station to use the restrooms and get coffee for me and the driver; I made my way to exit. This young Lad must of seen me heading to the doors as hes hall day across the distance from the Bank between fueling and parkin; he ran up, yanked the door open (almost falling backwards on his rear end), and said "after you". Boy if a big smile didn't move his ears to the backside of his head when I said "thank you kind Sir" with a smile on my face. His Dad was a car length back from making the step up to the store and he was grinning too! I said thank you for raising such a fine gentleman and we both swapped a teary eyed handshake. I was raised to Pay it Forward, but now days it's like ancient memories 😢 I've been trying to raise our Son on good head on his shoulders, kindness is free so give it away, dare to be different, and education\knowledge is more important than being powerful. Sadly too, social services workers at his school has taught him in all his 17 years that it's abusive and I have no right to have him because I can barely take physical care of myself. So, we share my "war stories" and enjoy watching your videos these past 3 years. Since then he has learned I'm not full of fluff n smoke after all 😊 He has come to see both the good people (you're teamwork and attitude) and bad people (not so friendly social services workers) and has made up his mind he is more than capable to "kill bad people with kindness" as he says. He treats whoever is bullying him with respect and politeness.. he also stopped getting bullied too. And he also has made a point with the Adult bullies that they haven't walked a mile in his Mom's shoes, they shouldn't pass false judgements, and all. It's been a quiet year so far and he has grown so much with our "t. v. time" together to watch another one of your videos. Thank you! To ALL Midwest Truck, Police, State Troopers, EMTs, and extra hands of help.

As a 20-year #trucker (now driving buses for #WaltDisneyWorld), I can see exactly why this happened. The #trucker saw that if he took that turn sharp as required, his trailer would have fallen into the ditch. So, he went wide into the dirt on the other side to keep the tandems on the pavement, but got stuck there.

@Newberntrains 7 месяцев назад

an empty wagon and sinking in the mud on the steers doesnt take much for these modern fiberglass light weights to loose traction on the drives

@williammain7281 7 месяцев назад

I do not disagree, but why are we blaming cell phones in this specific case?

@markfergerson2145 7 месяцев назад

@@williammain7281Truckers used to talk to each other while on the road, among other things putting out general warnings about road conditions. With one such transmission you could reach dozens of other truckers, anyone who was in range and had their “ears on” meaning had their CB on and listening to radio traffic. Typically CBS stayed on as long as a driver was in the cab, whether in motion or parked somewhere. You can’t do that with cell phones. Closest you can get is to alert local LEOs who may, or critically may not, have the ability to put out such alerts over cell phone networks. Such alerts are useless if you are using the wrong carrier, and even best case it can take hours for such alerts to go out. By that time it can be too late.

With how advanced the Rotator is, they should've included a software to center the crane in it's default transportation position, for when a job like this is a quick snip. Software should center the crane correctly and pull the hooks to the top position. Putting this here just in case someone who can make this happen, is watching!

@ferguscampbell2485 7 месяцев назад
