Having a little fun and challenging myself while loading, unloading, and setting tanks for a good customer of ours using our Peterbilt 389X with Miller Industries, Century 1150R rotator towing & recovery unit #11 and our Pete 337, Miller Industries LCG12 rollback unit #15 (tilt tray or slide bed). Something a little different for a change. Had some fun "fishing" this tank on the line. You'll see what I mean. Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

Please note: I performed the "belly-wrap" on the tank securement incorrectly in this video. I noticed it during editing and should have written a comment into the video. I am human and I make mistakes. Apparently I was in too big of a hurry to move the tank and didn't notice my mistake at the time. Thankfully, the other securements kept the tank from moving. The straps should have crossed over the top and came DOWN rather than from the bottom of the tank. Again, I am human, I make mistakes, and I am humble enough to admit my mistakes. I don't want anyone watching this video to make the same mistake I did. Unfortunately, my mistake seems to be the only thing that some people want to take away from this video. So be it. I messed up and I admit it. I have learned from it and moved forward. Thanks for watching and God bless.

Ron, The best mistakes a person can make are the ones that result in no harm no foul. I've made my share of mistakes during my 61 years on this earth. The majority of the mistakes (learning experience) I have made haven't been repeated as I always try to do better. Besides trying to kick one's self in the butt for the same mistake is pretty challenging. 😲 I hope that you and your family stay safe and healthy.

Yeah I noticed the tank too. I've learned a decent bit about flatbed securement and while laws in your state may allow cross chaining/strapping. I would HIGHLY discourage that. Please watch this video and see this simple demonstration that shows potential effects in plain and simple words and physics. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iq9zariD26fVnYE.html. I love everything you do however, I love learning heavy wrecker work!

Brings back memories of removing/installing oil/gasoline tanks, removing/setting in ground automotive lifts, spotting mobile homes, unloading spools of gas filled underground phone cables, and all the other non towing jobs that I did and that you still do. ANY TIME, ANY WHERE, ANY THING, more than just a motto. FREE TIP; Setting mobile homes with toter disconnected,. I used an old cutter wheel off a disc with a pipe welded in the center hole for the tongue jack and a hole blown in the edge for my hook. Curved face of disc wheel slides like butter allowing you to spot the front of the mobile home.

I am just amazed at all the different "jobs" that you do. Pretty creative and good marketing for the Truck Manufacturer. Showcases so many different ways that their equipment can be used outside of just rescuing vehicles! Being able to grab that bracket with the hook-- shows just how much you have mastered doing what you do! Mad skills for sure!

Hello Mr. Ron thank you for sharing your video's I think it you have got to be one of the best Towtruck Driver's I have seen on KZfaq. I had watched you pick up certain accident scenes and have a time that I watched others with similar things and cannot figure out what they're supposed to do and take someone out just to look at it and figure it out Will you take 30 minutes and you're already picking stuff up and moving stuff off street and off the woods and everywhere else What a difference. That's why I like your channel and also what you say to very beginning you include everybody at the beginning say your prayers are well wishes basically and not saying I want you to pay for this person or not whatever you feel like you want to do it's awesome Thank you so much for being that way. So keep up with your job I like your videos again and maybe God bless you and your family along with your crew as well. ❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸

I was happy to see you cross chaining the back & after you first unloaded the tank you saw a problem you set it down & fixed the problem. Thats a good operator!

Hooking the blue hook was one of those moments that no one would believe if it wasn't recorded. When I first heard the hissing inside the building, I thought the tator had sprung a leak. You should cut a V notch in a couple of the blocks for rounded objects like this to be able to sit things like this down into to give these things more support to help keep them from rolling. Thank you for another great video. God bless to you, your family and your crew.

It is an acquired skill. That said... If Ron does this often enough, he may want to look in to a remote hook. (It's a hook that can open and close remotely. With the right setup it makes it ridiculously easy to grab a load from some distance.)
