Ya I owned a towing company that specialized in junk cars which usually ended up as some sort of created recovery. I did towing and recovery too but when the customer has a wrecked, broken vehicle put in their back yard before the landscaping and fences and wants you to remove it with little or no damage it can be harder than recovery from the roads. It was a blast.

@jasonwtheis5921 3 года назад

I think I heard Randy mention that the Yankum rope had a knot in it? Man, those can be a real pain to clear, and they happen in an instant. However, even after a hard pull when it is like a rock, these knots are removable with a little patience... What I do is take a pair of large channel lock pliers (two pliers... one for each hand). Place one on the rope that exits the back side of the knot (just to stabilize the rope), then take the other and grab the near-side loop next to where it passes through the far-side loop. Slowly work the pliers up and down, grabbing in a few different places just to get good leverage on the knot. Then, grab the far-side loop and do the same thing. Go back and forth like this a half-dozen times or so, and you will start to notice the knot softening. A couple more rotations and it will release. The key is to get a good bite on each twist and don't try to force it too quickly so as to avoid damaging the rope. Thanks for the great content!

That drivers side van rollover brought back memories. Driver was not wearing his seatbelt and ended up outside the vehicle between the van and the roadway as it slid to a stop from 70 mph. Closed casket with an old portrait on top at the funeral. Gives me the Willies every time it comes to mind. The roller coaster rule applies... "Keep your hands and feet inside until the ride comes to a complete stop". Great that the driver in this one was able to stay inside and walk away. Be Safe!

@donaldgarretson5007 2 года назад

Next time you have a situation like the Ford van and the front wheels are turned, just use the bed to roll under it while using the winch to hold the van in place. Instead of extending the bed fully out to make it the minimum incline, make it as steep as you can and hook up the winch. Slowly maneuver the bed under the rear wheels while keeping tension on the winch. Once you are squarely under the rear wheels, raise the bed off the ground and slowly extend it as you keep tension on the winch. If the bed is fully extended and the front wheels are not close enough to the end of the bed to pull it on, lower the bed until the front wheels are off the ground and retract the bed. Raise the bed to put the front wheels back on the ground and then slowly extend the bed while using the winch to hold the van still again. You should be able to get the bed to the front wheels and pull the van onto the bed. This is far easier then what you did, and you don't need to use skates the could fly out and hurt someone. I've had to do this with a brand new car that the wheels were stolen off of and it was left on 2 small plastic milk crates. It was the only way to get the car on the bed without wheels (skates would work because car was too low without wheels) and be able to get the milk crates from under the car. I've also done this with camping trailers with seized axles, wrecked vehicles and vehicles without keys and the steering wheel was locked with the wheels turned.

@firstnamelastnameisallowed7943 3 года назад

Tow tip!! If your loading a vehicle and the front of it is not lining up like this was, instead of having someone get inside and hold the brake and blocks of wood and all that, if you lift the bed up off the ground, just an inch if that, then turn the tow truck all the way witch ever way needed and pull forward just a touch and it will align it as if it were a trailer. This only works if you have either the front tires or the rear tires of the car being towed on your bed already. set your air brakes lower the bed again and continue to load the wrecked vehicle. Easy peasy!! Hopefully that made sense to someone LoL

I myself prefer to be on the lane farthest away from the accident and keep going I got to keep my eyes on the road.

Hauling trailer on a trailer... That's why I went with a receiver mount winch so I can use it in the truck or trailer, and when I pull it out of the trailer I can put a 6" or 8" rise ball mount in it and just use the 2nd coupler to connect the front of the towed trailer to the trail and then trailer safety chains to the d rings on my trailer. Then just gotta tie down the rear of the trailer.

That same thing happened to me and my dad one time when we were headed out to camp . We had been driving down the highway and there was this funny vibration . We had though it might just be the road. But we pull into a parking lot and find the trailer is saggin on one side, turns out the main leaf had cracked just like that one. We had nothing else so we stuck a 4x4 inbetween the axle and frame and ratchet strapped in in there and turned around and headed home

Nice video. Is this that guy's 2 tow lol. As soon as he put the J hook on the running board I shook my head knowing it was going to pop off. I'm a fellow veteran Tow Truck Operator from Beautiful Colorado. Have a wonderful day

I saw the same thing and came to the same conclusion. And I'm not A tow truck driver. I guess I'm just smart.

Hazard pay for Randy in the form of some new shoes. Randy seems like a guy who puts everyone before himself.

Put the hook through the window and attach it to the seat belt. Works every time, even in snowy slick conditions

One tip for flipping a vehicle that is on the pavement is to take the floor mats out of the vehicle and put them under the contact points that will be used to flop the vehicle to keep it from sliding while you are winching it over. Saw this used in a rollover and was surprised how the car stuck and flipped right over without sliding.

For the van, next time you run into a steering situation like that. Chock the front wheels, drop it in neutral, lift the bed enough so that the wheel lift is off the ground, and then back the ramp truck under the vehicle. Once you get the ramp to the front wheels, you should be able to pull it up enough to chain it down. This can be done with one person.

The best way to straighten the front wheels is to put a pipe or a long hard board through the holes in the wheel and using leverage you can pretty much use that to Turn the front wheels in any direction

@TowMan127 3 года назад

Nice to see a different video from your channel. Definitely would’ve done this differently. I suggest next time load the van from the front and use the skates on the front wheels and it will slide straight up the bed being you had the keys and were able to put it in neutral. Hope to see more videos of the tow truck.

@jktowman 3 года назад

He definitely could have done that accident without blocking both lanes and with out having to move truck twice. I like matts off road recovery but seems his guy needs better training with the flatbed
