That's No Way to Treat a Pete!!! Peterbilt Goes Hill-Climbing Off-Road!!!
Рет қаралды 429,224
Күн бұрынDad, Raymond and I attempt to figure out how to safely get this Peterbilt and it's trailer turned around and down the hill after it blew a steer tire and went for a little off road hill climbing adventure. As usual, the Tator comes to the rescue, our Peterbilt 389X with a Miller Industries, Century 1150R rotator towing & recovery unit. Also had our Dodge traffic control unit on scene. Special thanks to the fire Department and Illinois State Troopers for helping us out. Please SLOW DOWN & MOVE OVER!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

Mr Pratt, thank you again for your service and being so respectful. My late husband I'm sure has a big smile on his face in Heaven watching me watch your videos. I wish he was here with me, (I miss him so much) for I know we both would enjoy watching your videos. My Angel Jerry was in law-enforcement for MANY Years and a volunteer firefighter. Now our daughter is a FireFighter/EMT in our small little rural towns which keeps her very busy. She drives a big Engine and ambulance (I worry about her, just more grey hair) I pray for you, your family & crew every time you are on a call. One of these days I would love to meet you and your staff,family. Be safe out. I'm sending a gift to your business soon just because I care and love that you and your family are a true Christian Family. God Bless - Gail

Having operated trailer-hitched man lifts that can't be repositioned easily, I for one get the importance of picking the best available working positions from the get-go. Stopping well away gives you the ability to more easily put your equipment right where you want it after you decide where you want it; 'tators and trailers are not the most maneuverable things in the world.
