Our First Load of Trucks for Parts and Salvage 

That truck with #171 was William Johnson's truck when it was new, trk# 169 was mine!! William(Boll) Johnson built Stepps Towing and Stepps Heavy Hall

“So pumped up to do recoveries” Next video: hey guys. Unfortunately we had to sell the rotator. 😂

This dude is the definition of fake it till you make it 🤣

Awesome save of 2 nice looking 378s Bruce. Hopefully one can be brought back to life and be a part of your growing fleet

That my uncle bo showing them how it's done a really great man 💯💯

Now, this is the guy you need to teach you have to operate yours!

So many saying these aren't 379s. Well they are, the short hoods have slope to them you can get a little big hood conversion to make yhem square

Just a tip mate, don't strap anything to the trailer that is above the suspension because you will destroy it, I don't agree with heaps of things you do but I do like the enthusiasm for the industry 🤙🤙

They way I learned heavy recovery by working and learning from others and watching asking questions over time you will get confident in yourself and the equipment one thing I have learned there isn't one wreck the same every day is different

Bruce, nice to see you getting your equipment worked out, and hope you get the training sorted asap. Best wishes from UK.

Beau is a bad ass rotator operator, that would be the man too learn all about your rotator

Fix up the 6nz and use it as a back up for Brutice so if you take it down for maintenance you got one ready to work

I think the second Pete is a 367 with that slope hood, great video🔥👍

Take Notes. Helmets, Safety Glasses, Gloves, Long Pants, Steel Toe Boots, & High Vis Vests. Because they're Professional Men Working.

That rotator is bad ass. Those are some nice looking trucks Bruce.

2 man team way should be one man banking it the other driving the controls

Super cool nice video 👋👍🥰🇨🇿😉

I would keep them both and build them out for different purposes. Perhaps stretch the frame on one, then add an additional tag axle to it. Rebuild each engine and then you have paid for trucks with great engines that can earn you big money 💰

Nice you always provided great entertainment

I’ve been around a miller 100 ton and they are insane. I’m getting back into towing soon I miss it way more than I should 😂

Thanks for the video Bruce, keep em comin!

Tim Gentry you better catch up!! You're getting left behind. 😊

Yea that rotater is the biggest they make almost best way to learn

What a beast rig you got there, I like it, including your Scania lorry trucks!

That is sick shit bro all the same trucks playing musical chair's cool give them a second life love channel Bruce! Timmy c Bristol CT 💯

That would be Toby you took one of these trucks and made it and build out of it for your company and make a series out of it I definitely tune in

If they run you should stretch them and make them heavy wreckers

Hi Bruce awesome vid seeing a rotator work

Here in the UK we have 100 ton 8x4 rotators volvo ,scania r +T cabs .❤

Both of the trucks are nice enough to be sold whole. The new owner can do an in frame then go make money.

Im building the Revell plastic model of Stepps "Can Do" wrecker. I also drove a 2 1/2 ton conventional wrecker for 15 years. Fun times

Bruce! You're not an Oversized Load untill 4' hangs of the back of the deck. Read your DOT manual ffs!

Good thing those 379's are long hoods.

Great job!

Cant keep up with ya bruce you got alot of projects going on in your business now bro, Good luck

You should pay Beau to come and work with you for 3 months so you can learn how to use the rotator without doing damage or killing someone...it would be money well spent as he clearly knows what the hell he is doing.

God bless you Ryan thought I would say it since no one else did😂

You should cover the stacks on the truck thats backwards, you risk spooling up the turbo while its being towed. Without the engine running the turbo wont have lubrication and you risk damaging it.

Nice truck

Your channel is fantastic. Suggestion: ask you camera person to slow down the movement of the camera.

4:59 they should have been using a spreader bar to spread the load to push it away from the cab I'm surprised they didn't do that

keep the clips coming

Wow impressive but it looked very close to the hydro line when lifting up the first truck

Congratulations..🥰✌️🙂

Nice 👍

Maybe my guess would be that plan put on Detachable Towing Unit ????

6:24 Right on these angles so you know Bruce on a rotator truck exactly right at this point on either side of the truck any corner is your weak point when you're doing a lift you see the way he has a load of the ground You don't have it up high because the truck will leave it or not the rotator will flip it will roll over on you just look at Pepe's Towing there's a video of them where they screwed up and they rolled two trucks trying to flip a truck! So just remember that your stabilizers are going to be out but you do not want your stabilizers picking up the truck from the ground You want pressure weight on each tire still You never use the stabilizers to pick the truck off the ground You just put them down light pressure on the ground but you want contact on all tires because that's what gives you stability on the truck when it comes to lifting things! That is the major screw up, majority of time when you see a rollover rotator because of that error operator error lifting the truck completely off the ground with the stabilizers not allowing contact with the tires it's important that the tires remain on the ground so it gives it a form of stability as well! Learn on this video the movements that they are doing how fast, lifting over the front of the cab to make sure you move the rotator boom all the way to the front once you get in this angle you roll the boom halfway back and once you get all the way to the back you roll it about 4 ft off of center of the center stabilizers so it takes majority of the load on the stabilizers front and back there's a lot to it it's just not doing a lift it's about positioning the boom knowing when to move the tarot back and forth on certain angles remembering at certain heights what's the capacity how far the boom is extended out The capability of that truck being able to perform and lift of weight and the angle of the boom how high up how far down also effects how much weight it can pick up and there's the danger zone that is known and it's a certain degree of angle that the boom will be up in the air that puts you at risk they call it zero gravitational pull which will flip the whole entire rotator truck even doing a 10,000 lb lift it's crazy do you think it's capable of happening but it will happen A truck of this size can literally flip over at a 10,000 lb lift at a certain angle of the boom typically it's marked zero and that's the point that you want to avoid cuz is zero gravitational pull which is your weakest point in the lift! Spreader bars are very important it helps spread the load evenly on the cables! You want to learn how to run the rotator the right way it's the same one that Ron Pratt has ask him to come spend time with him learning how to run it and he will teach you he's open to teaching he will teach you how to operate in his business the right way that would make for some great content for Ron and for you!

Hi Bruce

171 looks like your little brothers truck to start his own business with 😉 😉

& yur truck bed says CENTURY on it😮

That’s my blood brother Beau white getting that money call him if you need him

You are on dead end dirt road 😂😊😂

Yes they are 379s I had an 2005 with a 600 cat

What a beast! Bruce, I want to see you having a wrecker just like this in the future!

Ryan would be called a "swamper"

Bruce you need to hook up with magnums out of Wilson nc huge wrecker and heavy haul company goods friends of mine own it

Ags mex that is a good crane

Most rich people stay rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then most poor people stay poor by spending like the rich yet not investing like the rich but impressing them

Put a 730 v8 in them be badass

If you had lifted the front end and placed some 4x4 under the front tires it would have given more space between hoods, come fellas !

Don’t be afraid or embarrassed to ask as many questions as possible

Fix them and have more drivers and have them all do videos so u have more videos coming in

I would have loaded them Requiem for a dream style

Sell one of the Pete's to Timmy Gentry. He would definitely buy one.

1:25 25T retraído e 8T extendido👌🦾

Beau white is the man.

Sell the frames to Canadians so that they can keep their old trucks going. Would be nice to see you load out some parts.

Lifting because we can! N we lift them hooked to the front frame bc we dont want someone to drive this rigs ever again!

What about adding a decent size knuckle boom to your fleet, something in range of 200 metric tons to really get some reach?

Yooo this man is right at my house😯😯😯

Hey what’s up bro how are you much love

That company does all the nascar car towing

Брюс дружище. Когда будут видео про СКАНИЮ.

hey how wide is the tool box there between the cab and front drive on the 2nd truck you loaded

That’s a 50/60 rotator called that because it’s a 50 ton wrecker 60 ton boom.

Hey Bruce how are you doing today my friend so I love watching our videos they are very educational videos and so can you give me some vices on how can I get my trucking license for trucking license up north candan

If the outriggers came out another 5 feet I imagine the boom could be twice the length. If they made a rotator like that you could use it for multiple things to make money not just vehicle recovery.

Take both trucks and make a good one

will not be fun when you are trying to recover a big rig turned over blocking all or part of the interstate and traffic flying by and not moving over!

Boa noite meu amigo sou novo no canal meu nome é Roberto morou Mossoró RN Brasil sou fa de caminhão Americano

Bruce love the chanel but get the names correct.The proper name is underlift not stinger that is a crane on a truck

He should’ve used the new RGN he recently acquired for this.

You should stop at Miller industries in chattanooga and see a real heavy lift rotators 😅 but since you don't read comments ole well😅

Thought u was saleing the pull truck

If them two Peterbilt's are starting I would take all off them stickers off them and then have them repainted blue and add them too the rest off fleet and take all them Peterbilt's too the truck shows Bruce you drive the Tratter Taxi Aaron drives Bratus and Lake and Rayn drive them two Pete's.

My man, you need to wear your PPE just like everyone else.. looks silly lol

Give it a break everyone mess up.

I would sale them. I'd fix them up and add them to your fleet with Brutus.

God if I had the money I’d buy one off ya

56000 pounds is 26 ton

This bus number is 277#### the kid sitting in the tree watching you😮😮😮

Take note of type of rigging equipment

🙂

Been following you ever since you got the original Blue Collar cab over. Really enjoying the recent content. Always love the will it start vids too

Rigging is all about geometry and being able to understand physics of objects.. sure u can be great at the math side of it but u also have to be able to see it in the real world in action and work on the fly. Not sure how to explain it but I'm sure ppl will understand what I mean

fix both of the new petes

It is call down lift

Link up Bruce

Tim Gentry should go to this school. If not watch the video how to wear high visible clothing . Hopefully he doesn’t get his A$$ ran over . Great video thank you for sharing. 👍👍👍👍
