I today's video Trent Jr responds in the rotator to what is supposed to be a simple winchout of a truck and trailer that pulled slightly off the road and needed a quick tug. Upon arrival, we discover that is not the case. Although still a relatively easy job this was a fun one! I hope you enjoy it!

Q:What camera do you use?
A: I use the Go Pro Hero 7 Black Edition primarily. Often times you will see auxillary cameras in use. Those cameras include The Go Pro Hero 6, Hero, and DJI Mavic Pro Platinum
Q: How big Is your rotator?
A: It is a 50 ton Miller Industries Vulcan 950
Q: Does the carriage slide back like Ron Pratt's?
A: No, the carriage doesn't slide back due to strict weight laws in California. The sliding carriage will make the truck to heavy in CA
Q: Why do you only have 3 winches on the rotator?
A: Comes down to weight again as stated above
Q: How many trucks Does Plaza Towing have?
A: Currently more than 30
Q: Why must the driveshaft be removed to tow a vehicle?
A: When vehicles are not running the transmission is not receiving circulating lubricant. If the driveshaft is left installed, the transmission, which is not receiving lubricant, is still spinning. This allows it to get very hot which eventually will cause major damage to the transmission. Therefore, removing the driveshaft completely eliminates the transmission from spinning. Simply leaving it in neutral is not sufficient since the transmission still spins in neutral.

There's two tow companies I love watching, yours and Ron Pratt's tow company. Both of you tell your viewers what your doing, educational and fun to watch! Thank you for the videos and please be safe out there!

@davidkulm6795 4 года назад

I enjoy watching Midwest Towing (Ron Pratt) & Plaza Towing as well. I also like Pepe's Garage they are out of LA, they have done some interesting recoveries like a tractor/trailer hanging off a bridge

@irishgaming8061 4 года назад

I'm also a Ron Pratt fan lol

@pebber1967 4 года назад

Right you are. Pepe's towing are great to.

@liljunior805 4 года назад

Do you watch Pepe’s Towing?

You should also try watching Pepe's Towing also in California.

@Fullnoise 4 года назад

Geez, my head hurts watching this. How hard is it for the driver to put his window down and actually listen to the instructions that you're giving him? As always, another successful job and great video.

@KB-gs8zi 4 года назад

Sir Trent !!! GREAT recovery !! Hope the Driver gets some rest b/4 running off the road again or hitting somebody !!! ""KEEP IT SAFE""!!!!

@silentepsilon888 4 года назад

Man Trent, you are patient. You got a driver who can't roll down the windows to talk/listen to you while you are about to give him instructions and he has a headset on to cover the one ear that is facing toward you. I wonder if he had music on that headset going the whole time too.

@agentcrm 4 года назад

He does have the window down a bit. Probably has the AC blasting trying to keep cool.

@dwightarnold6980 4 года назад

Looks 2 me like he fell asleep! AS far as he went off the shoulder!

@CrazyPetez 4 года назад

Silent Epsilon What typically happens to a driver in a case like this? I’m thinking the tow bill is going to be $500 to $1,000. Does the driver pay that, or is he usually fired? He seemed like a lazy slug.

@unclespongehead 4 года назад

Trent, you do a very good job working with drivers. You quickly assess their abilities and guide them accordingly. And you have a calming effect on the process. Well done, sir!

@Azlehria 4 года назад

I really appreciate how you try to keep the drivers in the loop about _why_ you're doing, or telling them to do, something.

@bighouse1283 4 года назад

Good job Trent! He didn't seem very open to directions at first( keeping window only cracked open) but came around. The rotator sure gets up and going pretty quick for being so heavy 🤘😎👍 〽️

@pepaw4431 4 года назад

I seem to stay amazed at the drivers that have NO CLUE what your talking about when you tell them to lock-in the differentials- This is truck driving 101 for God's sake!!! I surmise that they have reverted to issuing CDL's outta cereal boxes! Another excellent episode JR- Keep up the good work, & please be safe!

@cujoedaman 4 года назад

My dad bought one of those huge Harbor Freight Badlands winches and ever since I've been learning about different ways to pull things, using snatch blocks and as I'm watching this, I learned something new about using a clevis if it's going to be traveling :D

Did the CHP give the driver a substance abuse test? He appeared to be elsewhere.

@angryroadster7772 4 года назад

@SeaLubber 4 года назад

It strikes me as odd that you'd have to explain to a driver how to use specific features of his tractor. Wouldn't they learn this in driving school? Makes one question our regulatory bodies that license anybody without sufficient knowledge of their rig.

@joeljenkins2876 4 года назад

That's part of the problem with the severe driver shortage: companies that train are probably putting people behind the wheel with a BARE MINIMUM (just enough to be 'certified and dangerous.'

@williamwallace9826 4 года назад

This is not the first video where Trent has had to instruct a driver how to lock his (or her!) axles.

@charlesrussell5250 4 года назад

I can tell you that I was never taught to use the power devider in CDL training. They only teach the basics to pass the test. They expect your trainer to teach specifics like that. I actually had a friend teach me the power divider when I got stuck in my own driveway bobtail.

@agentcrm 4 года назад

Companies also have to allocate time for them to have breaks and make sure they use them.

@davidbewley7282 4 года назад

Hi from the UK.nice job there but you have more room between carriageways than we do over here and a run off like that would have been much more serious.Another thing,was the driver charged with any driving offence? If this type of accident had happened over here the driver would have been charged with “driving without due care and attention” as a minimum and would have been fined and 3 points on his driving license (12 points and you are banned for a minimum 3-6 months) Thanks for the videos I find them really interesting

@morthomer5804 4 года назад

Did the driver fall asleep or miss the left for coffee at the AM/PM? Could 've been both.

@williamgates4399 4 года назад

Makes you wonder how do these drivers get their licenses? I have watch many of your tows and it seems like the drivers have no clue on how to drive. Sad.

@nomercygaming5670 4 года назад

@sreckobmw 4 года назад

this driver is strange it seems like he doesnt care what happened, not nervous at all

@dansprenger4647 4 года назад

Great videos. Is there a reason why you didn't pull from the front so you didn't have to turn around? Just curious.

@plazatowing 4 года назад

I considered this, but considering the unit was fully loaded, the angles involved to achieve this properly puts a tremendous strain on the snatch block and rigging as it requires an angle multiplier essentially doubling the load! Also, the boom is not really designed to pull loads unless it remains in a straight line which creates a side load on the boom. Thank you for watching!

@avineshdoss 4 года назад

Hi Trent, did you ever had collab job with Ron Pratt? Secondly i was wondering if the road was not large enough for your truck to be in reverse and use the drag winch, wouldn't it be easier just to rotate the boom towards the front of the truck (on top of the cabin) and pull with the winches of the boom.

@damnoldguy 4 года назад

What are those under the back of the trailer with the springs? The arms behind the axle?

@KevinBenecke 4 года назад

You should get a set of chains with the frame grab hooks on them. It amazes me how few drivers know what the power divider is. How can these idiot drivers get a CDL to drive trucks without knowing something as simple as what the power divider is.

@joshuamack342 4 года назад

@tiredoldmechanic1791 4 года назад

Why not turn the boom to the front and use a block on the front pull hook instead of turning your truck around?

@brucerussen7271 4 года назад

Trent, at 27:01 in this video did I correctly notice a wedding ring on your left hand?

@andrewr886 4 года назад

all that sand must be rough on the gear - how do you stop it getting into the pulleys and winches ?

@plazatowing 4 года назад

You must be careful but it is inevitable. Constant greasing and cleaning is absolutely necessary. Thank you for watching

@Hughes1509 4 года назад

In this sort of instance, wouldnt it be easier and safer to remain facing with the flow of traffic and turn the boom over the nose of the truck? Redirect from the pull-pin on the bumper?

I know it's not an ideal way of pulling, but, if you're using the rotator, why don't rotate the boom over the cab, you won't be sitting backwards on the freeway.

I thought that the truck drivers, had to take a rest from driving the big rigs, since some of them have to drive through a couple of States to bring their cargo, do the truck stops still exist.
