Hey Dustin! I have autism and I love tow trucks so much, that I wish to be a tow truck driver one day! Keep up the great work with towing broken down and damaged cars! You rock!
For me if you know your truck or been doing towing for years and know the length of your bed you could drive the truck from underneath it by paying attention and knowing when to stop not before reaching the edge not for rookies or unsecured drivers because sometimes you don't want to damage driveways or asphalt with the bed or wheel lift by walking your truck
How exactly are you using the sting of the truck to push it, can we get a video about that? Is your landing gear not on the ground? and the truck in neutral? how u do that?
Good job getting it done! Once the drive wheels are on the ground everything else is easy. Definitely different with your style bed. Your best friend is expensive. 😂 WD-40 works great though.
It took my awhile to get the hang of walking with the wheel lift lol And yeah, that little thing cost me a pretty penny but he’s the best little dog I’ve ever had lol
@@Towtruck_Dustin I love the dog! I was talking about the WD-40 being expensive 😂 but yes, those those are expensive as well but they are great dogs a buddy of mine has a couple of them. Instead of walking the wheel lift you could lift the bed and drive the truck out from under it. Only works if the drive wheels are on the ground. When the wheels get to the end of the bed just tilt the bed then pull the bed in and keep adjusting it till it clears.
Dustin. Great video. Question. What is the difference between a right approach bed and regular bed. Thank you for the towing and recovery schooling. I'm in late 50s and want to become a towing operator. It's a profession that's hard but challenging to the mind. It's not for the brain dead people with no commen sense. I also watch your own beach recoverys. Stay Safe Please.
What if you were picking up a vehicle that had a fuel leak? What advice could you give about the proper way to handle it. It would have to be pulled up onto the flat bed like the vehicle on this video. Worried about sparks and damage done towing it backwards.
Sorry to comment on so many of your videos but they keep popping up in my recommend but I wondered if you had any advice for turning a flatbed? I recently started driving and if there’s one thing I don’t grasp it’s controlling the tail swing
No worries. I’m glad to answer whatever questions you have. As far as turning it, and controlling the tail swing, think of it like, the rear pivots around the rear tire. So if you’re turning next to an object, or backing in somewhere, if you can put that inside rear tire where you want it, you can control where it goes. Then remember the outside corner swings wide, and you’re golden.
No neutral release on that car? I would be so worried about cutting my straps on those wheels. We use and 8 point so we don't have to worry. Were you going fishing? Good looking pup. Do you keep a spare key so if he locks you out? 😄 Well done. Looks like I might need to buy a cade ow WD40.
There is, but I’d have to unlock it, and the owner wasn’t there to approve that. When I drove that truck I always had my dog and the fishing rod. Lol I did have a spare lol
No, you’re not dragging it far enough or fast enough for any damage to occur. the tire would have to already be damaged, for anything to happen really.
When you get cars like that you're doing right now where you got front wheel drives in or any kind of car that you got like that and they're hard to get on and off the trailers you're using w240 and you're spraying a trailer use Dawn soap mixed with water and spray the bed down and stuff they'll slide right off every time we do it to the race car trailers and stuff and they slide right off really good for you
I always have WD40 on the truck and also soapy water, but my jug is broke. If you go back a few videos I have one on shaking a car off the bed with WD40.
If you put down wd40 and don’t have to shake it off, it’s a lot easier on the truck. I’ll take an extra 60 seconds on a job, to save myself days of down time when you have to have hydraulics replaced because the wrist pins and cylinders have to be replaced from shaking it harder than necessary.
All you have to do is PULL your bed back 1 foot to clear your bedlock… then LIFT ALLLLLL THE WAY UP … and slowly let the car slide down with the winch … ive only been driving for a year
Why don't the drivers of the trucks with diesel engines turn off the engine when they reach their destination after they drive on a high way for long distance,not as the petrol engines cars,and what will happened if they turn the diesel engine off directly after they reach their destination?.Thank you.
You don’t want to shut off a diesel a lot because you’ll foul the engine up. It creates soot, which is abrasive, which is obviously not good for an engine.
Wd40😂n expensive way to shake a unit off ....Tip my bratha get chu A spray bottle buy some Dawn SOAP MIX IT UP and BOOM alot cheaper PLUS goes along way 😅😂😅😂😮
