Hey guys!
On todays video, we were called by a customer, after they were involved in an accident, where a Ram 3500 left the roadway, lost control, and struck a truck and trailer, that was out loading a utility truck that was broke down on the shoulder of the road.
Unfortunately all involved were injured, but the driver of the transport truck that was loading the broke down utility truck, was taken by helicopter to the hospital.
Please keep all involved in your thoughts and prayers!
Hope yall enjoy the video, thanks for watching!

For some reason, I was not able to do a reply except on someone's post.Hope and pray that the first part, the person recovers and the second, was easy

@maxbell6237 Ай бұрын

So this person got arrested for DWI, got their truck out of impound and then immediately causes a major accident where life flight was called?? Sounds like they should never be allowed to drive again.

@Towtruck_Dustin Ай бұрын

I don’t know what they were originally arrested for.

@ervingoss5442 Ай бұрын

Praying for the care flight patient. Good recovery. Hope you get your power on soon. I changed my donut spare out with a full size tire, and I carry a tire pump in my trunk just to be on the safe side.

@jdtractorboy1258 Ай бұрын

Just a suggestion, when my dad got his truck towed for his driveshaft falling off. I saw you had trouble with it moving when you lifted it on the bed. What the tow truck for my dad did was bungee strap it up so it wasnt hanging down onto the road/bed

@towtruckaj Ай бұрын

Wouldn’t work, driveshaft is out on the transmission side which means it’s still connected at the differential, as the truck moves the shaft is constantly going to spin which makes securing it pretty difficult, best to just let it hang and help it over the edge of the bed and the pockets. If it were out on the differential side it would be easily securable as it wouldn’t spin at all.

In Alberta, an officer was hit by a passing car, and the Province passed a bill that is to force motorists to slow down and move over one lane when faced with vehicles on the side of the road. But most people drive like they are obvious to people on the side, stopped and preventing you from moving over, or are outright abusive.

I work in communications. I can’t tell you how many times I almost got hit. I had a coworker hit by a drunk driver. Pushed his E350 bucket van 20ft and up a curb. People just need to pay attention when driving.

One of my closest calls was down in your area off of 332 and Baldwin across from the Buc-cees. My co worker pulled up behind me, stepped out, and his van was clipped by a car. Luckily no one was injured. The guy drove off. Not sure how far he made it. These Texas drivers are scary.

Older generations aren’t any different, why do you think the younger generation can’t do it? Because the older generation can’t do it to have taught the younger generation. The failure started with the older generations and continued on.

Wheel is the strongest part to hook to in most circumstances. If it breaks the wheel, the wheel was already compromised.
