Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, Ethan and I take on a much less challenging job than last week's video. This week is a Chevrolet Turtle, I mean, Cavalier, that has rolled onto it's roof on a gravel county road. The Trooper tries to play a joke on me and has the driver stop moving when I walk up. I know it's a dark sense of humor, but we have to joke about some of the situations we see. It's a coping mechanism which some people may never understand. It's not meant to be offensive to anyone...Just having a little laugh. Anyway, I let Ethan take the reigns on this job and do things his way. I'm there as traffic control and assistance only. He is stepping up nicely. Thankfully, the driver of this vehicle was not injured in the crash.
We have a difficult and dangerous job and we take it very seriously, that doesn't mean we can't have fun and enjoy our work. We strive to be polite, professional, efficient, and safe...and still can have fun. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

@peterhobson3262 11 месяцев назад

That was a pretty simple, straightforward job. Ethan probably learned to put the v-bridle on the vehicle when it's on its back.

@keithallen3119 11 месяцев назад

Enjoyed Ron's comment about Ethan's sense of humor and then he cracks me up with the Austin Powers reference!! That's a classic for the channel. As a very young tow operator, (on a single boom/sling Holmes rig sitting on a F350 chassis) many years ago I find myself answering Ron's advice when watching. Most of the times I get it close to what he/Ethan does. Good stuff here. The business I worked at is still operatin now owned by a mid-30s family and the tow business is still operating as well. Much better equipment these days. The younger tow operator watches this channel, smart young man.

@rogeremberson6464 11 месяцев назад

Another very informative video Ron. Thankfully no one was hurt. I used to do accident/crash recovery involving cars and small vans many years ago. All I had at my disposal was an old 88 inch wheelbase Land Rover, with a tuckaway hydraulic A frame on the back, and no winch. The Landy might have been old, but was more than capable in de-ditching cars with a chain attached to either the front or rear tow hitch. Every recovery was different, so I was learning all the time. Todays recovery vehicles are amazing, shame we didn't have them 40 years ago, they would have made life so much easier.

Well, the car did look a bit squishy after the roll over, but really good news., the driver wasn’t injured. Modern cars are so tough. I was amazed at the amount of stuff that fell out of the car, but maybe it cushioned the crash.!! I really liked the two camera editing and we even got to see you, Ron!! Good news also is that Ethan is nearly flying solo, these days. Best Wishes Roy W UK.

@hamrad645 11 месяцев назад

Wow! All I can say is I'm glad I've never yet been in a roll over. I bet the driver is going to be feeling that for a while. Then, 10-20 years down the road, too. Believe me, I know that for certain from experience. Like 3 major lumbar surgeries and 2 major cervical spine surgeries later, I'm still feeling it! I don't envy the driver!

Hi Ron & Ethan. I'm guessing that we forgot too double check the sound for this video. Great one by the way. Even though I had to turn on the captions.

@edwinfriedl2446 11 месяцев назад

50 years ago I worked for a truck equipment distributor. We mounted tow trucks to chassis. But I am astounded how much the equipment has improved. No remote controls and displays. No wheel lifts, etc... the job still isn't easy, but I can see how much better you can do your job with modern equipment.

@xheralt 11 месяцев назад

Cleaning up the driver's belongings was a bit of a distraction, but if Ethan had shifted the pulley further towards the back of the flatbed immediately after flipping it over (change the pull angle) it might have gone a little smoother. Live and learn.

@MagentaRV 11 месяцев назад

What did Ethan learn from this recovery? When you put it back on it's wheels, it rolls if you haven't made sure it's in park/gear with the parking brake set... Even then it "can" roll, so it's not a bad idea to put a safety chain to a tie spot!

TRUST me you will remember all the good times you were together as I continue to remember my dad that I worked with him all the time. i am 79 years old and remember learning from him and may GOD CONTINUE TO BE THE FIRST IN YOUR LIFE ALSO

@alhutchison447 11 месяцев назад

Had the Pontiac version, a Sunbird. Dang thing would overheat in a blizzard (among other issues from the day we brought it home new in '89). I drove it from 94 to 97 when it started having issues our local mechanic couldn't seem to fix.

@johndeere2438 11 месяцев назад

Another great video Ron, please please be safe out there. We lost a tow operator 2 weekends ago now he was only 25 years old we had his funeral last weekend and it was huge we had over 607 trucks there with 1,200 people attending. Again please be safe. Take care and god bless.

@gsdalpha1358 11 месяцев назад

Was Ethan not feeling well? He just seemed a little "off". Hope he feels better soon! I rode out a near miss with a tornado in an old 1998 Cavalier, and there was ferocious hail. Pulled off a highway during the storm with nowhere to go in flatland Indiana. Got the windshield replaced and didn't bother with the dents everywhere. Loved that car! Wish we could've seen Ron's face when he spied that leg hanging out 😂

@littletrucker89 11 месяцев назад

Love all the yard small pantry and giving each other a hard time and it makes it very enjoyable. But on a side note was I hearing things or was the deck on the rollback start the slide on the gravel when Ethan began to tighten up the winches?

@petermiddo 11 месяцев назад

All that junk reminds me of the time when I was young and single, running around in my first car. Never thought to empty it out that way, though.

@johnbellas490 11 месяцев назад

I had a 4 door 2000 Cavalier and had to take it off the road 3 years ago because of really bad rust around the tops of the rear strut mounts due to the heavy use of pure salt on the roads as well as the use of the liquid that's sprayed on the roads before a storm starts, but that little car had 265,000 miles on it and the engine and transmission ran absolutely fine! I loved that car!

@richardbedard1245 11 месяцев назад

I'm enjoying your videos because I used to drive a "rollback" for a Corvette shop. The aluminum wheels would be stolen off the car after the a main battery cable was severed to silence the alarm system. They were nice enough to leave the car on blocks so I could install temporary tires!

@EXROBOWIDOW 11 месяцев назад

Another professional, straightforward rescue of a poor unfortunate little car that had a bit of a mishap. Good that no one was hurt. Here in Los Angeles the other day, we had a guy do the opposite of professional and straightforward. He was driving a tow truck like crazy, smashed it into a bunch of parked cars, flipped over the tow truck as well as some of the cars. Two people were hurt, not too badly, including the tow truck driver who was led away in handcuffs. Driver is suspected of DUI, and reports say a total of 13 vehicles were involved, plus some damage to structures and homes along the road. The video of the crash is mind boggling. How can someone even do that?

@bettingru 10 месяцев назад

There are basically 4 reasons why this car ended up upside-down on a gravel road/driveway. 1. Another car hit them or they were forced them to take evasive action. 2. Driver was distracted, i.e. texting or having a good 'ol time with friends. 3. Driver was drunk. 4. Driver was going too fast. Which one or combination of reasons do you think caused this crash, considering there is only one set of tracks on the gravel?
