An old school Kenworth log truck is recovered from the ditch after it ran off the shoulder in a curve. The trailer's weight tipped the truck against the side of the hill and the truck was stuck good. Highway 270 West of Hot Springs, Arkansas was blocked for 35 to 40 minutes due to the recovery.

It is nice to see a positive outcome for log truck driver and his load, I am sure he was thanking the tow truck operator for sure.

I shot this video thinking it might get a few views but nowhere close to what it is now. The truck was stuck pretty good and I was interested to see how they would get it out.

@MYTOYMAKERZ 11 жыл бұрын

What most have not noticed is the recovery truck had his cable hooked to a jumper chain that was connected to the frame that the fifth wheel is welded to the truck. The lower winch on the rear of the recovery truck was used so as to have a downward pull on the truck to prevent both truck and trailer from rolling. Nice recovery this is how us pro' s do it and why we can charge what we do. Had the trailer rolled over recovery company would have ate the cost for causing more damage. Cheers

I can't believe they got that out without losing the trailer or the load. I thought for sure as soon as they started winching on the cab that the trailer was going to flip or at least the load was going to break free. I also thought they'd need a 2nd wrecker pulling from the side on the trailer to get that out safely. It made a little more sense once I saw the type of trailer but still thought the load would have let go.

The type of stabilization you're seeing here is applied after the fact via software. If the camera jerks down, the frames are moved up. This cuts off some of the top of the image, but keeps the image steady. Most common with cameras that either have very poor stabilization or none at all.

Might have helped to put boards under the right front and the double boogie behind it. As such you had the single drivers, drive wheel free. It's was shocking that the logs pretty much stayed in the racks. The center of gravity was defied here.

@leebarnes655 8 жыл бұрын

+ketatrypt AFTER the weights off is the better time to have a look at it. If it's sprung you'll see it then and not before. Not amazing driving, pretty stupid driving allowing a rear tire to go off the pavement like that to then suck the entire trailer and truck into the ditch. Why did this happen? Too fast for traffic, driver should have poked along and at the opportune time taken both lanes to KEEP the rear tires on the pavement while making this curve. Amazing towing is what's amazing here, he re-attached to the trailer in order to pull it down keeping the load from flopping on over. Truck driver almost pooched the deal, but his pucker factor kicked in and he stopped power hopping it just in time to save his own load. So he's not absolutely worthless after all. Next time, I bet he swings way wide with the air horn on for as long as it takes.

i'm not an expert on this, but would it have been easier to get a bulldozer on the hill to push the logs away while the truck was being towed? or would the bulldozer have been slid into the ditch or rolled?

It is probably the result of them using a stabilization software afterwards to eliminate the shaking and seasickness motion of the original video. Annoying yes, but probably better than the original.
