Concrete Truck Hits a Guardrail! Heavy Duty Police Rotation!

We got a call for a Heavy Duty rotation, for a concrete truck that was involved in an accident.
We were initially told it was unloaded, had heavy front end damage, and missing a front wheel.
On scene, we found it was a rear tire that was missing, but it had hit a guardrail and jammed the front end, disabling the steering.

Awesome I appreciate you being there to give a hand with the other hook driver. But you didn't know you asked and that's a great person

Lotta professionals in this comment section 🤔 I, personally, enjoy these videos. I prefer to enjoy the content rather than tell someone how to do their job. lol

I agree, like I tell all the internet professionals, post there videos and show us all how it's really done.

A suggestion for you and your buddy, put blocks under the tires it only takes one and you could get hurt if something was to go wrong. I've done heavy recovery and you used straps to secure that load instead of actual chains. I've never used straps to secure a heavy tow only chains. Also you got to pull the drive shaft.

Sneaker and no PPE Texas must have some very lax rules. Our insurance would drop us so fast. Not to mention state police can and will ticket the operator for not wearing PPE. If yall get run over and not wearing class 3 hi viz you will lose in court. The job is dangerous enough without adding unnecessary risks

I love your videos man, you are definitely a talented smart operator, but poor ole Donnie, he’s either very inexperienced, untalented, or just has no common sense at all, because every video of yours that I’ve seen him in, his decision making skills, and just the way he operates, show his inexperience and lack of common knowledge of this trade! I been in heavy wrecker industry my whole life, and he just doesn’t have it. Lol.

@ewanbaxter9199 Жыл бұрын

Did you say you were just going to tow it out of the way to the spare land at the side, it's all rigged up to take it away from the scene (Lights, chains). The tow truck driver seems like a Newby, he got in front by 6 turns, could've done it in 2 - reverse hard left, forwards hard right, and didn't listen to your advice

Did he pull the driveshaft? That truck is automatic it needs to be pulled.

If u can put on air brakes know it's a harder pull but it helps the rear end track straight will come to u another thing should have hooked up under the truck to a frame or axle as it's more structural

Looks like a job for J&M wrecker out of Flute Texas, Midwest towing from Missouri would have done in half the time

@brianmason8400 Жыл бұрын

Midwest towing, or Midwest Truck from Scott City,Mo? Midwest Truck w Ron Pratt would have easily handled it as well. Not saying you did anything wrong, there's more than one way to accomplish most tasks. You get it done w no injuries or additional damage, that's a win!

Idk, I like watching Ron Pratt, but they are vary slow at what they do even for simple jobs. But its for the sake the of quality work though, kinda like that episode where the rear axle of that little dodge plow truck broke, they took ages.

You would be kicked off the accident scene If I was there. No safety PPE worn. Immediate boot and onto the next on duty hook company.

Donnie NEVER gives you enough slack to unhook the hook. In a rush to run off and look at something. I find him to be... annoying to watch. I know... nobody's forcing me to watch.

Another thing that proves Donnie‘s lack of common knowledge, is the fact he did not take the drive line out of that truck, you always take the driveline out when you told from the front, because the driveline can do damage to the transmission! SMH 🤦🏻‍♂️

@Towtruck_Dustin Жыл бұрын

We almost always do, not sure why he didn’t on this one.

@alexanderlacy4005 Жыл бұрын

@@Towtruck_Dustin yeah, it’s always good to drop the drive line, especially on an automatic, because even in neutral mode, it is still turning the inter shaft in the transmission, and once up get above 20 mph the clutches start looking up turning friction, but because the torque converter is not turning, the transmission is not building oil pressure, witch due to all the internal friction, it will eventually burn the transmission up. It just does not seem like Donnie has the experience you have, and Donnie could stand benefit from taking your advice, but from what I have seen in your videos, he does not take your advice and messes up more than what is necessary.
