I might not get it perfect, but I try my best.

getting the majority of it helps@@Towtruck_Dustin

Oh wow! Thanks for the sub! Glad you’re enjoying the content!

Thanks!! Glad you’re enjoying it!

That would be awesome!

That's all I pretty much watch anymore. Matt's Off Road Recovery, Trail Mater, Murphys Diesel, Ron Pratt, Fab Rats, Casey LaDelle, etc. All great channels.

I watch a bunch of those myself. I appreciate you taking the time to watch some of my videos also.

That’s a Miller Right Approach Bed. Has a 6 degree loading angle for loading low cars. It’s a blessing and a curse. It comes in handy, but personally I prefer a straight steel bed.

@@Towtruck_Dustin You wouldn't if you towed in Beverly Hills everyday...

No joke lol

Much appreciated!

@@Towtruck_Dustin I have a quick question for you do you need a commercial drivers license to drive a tow truck which is your CDL

You don’t need a CDL to drive a light, or medium duty tow truck (GVWR under 26,000lbs). A CDL is only required to drive the heavy duty tow trucks (GVWR over 26,000lbs). In Texas, all you need is a valid class C driver’s license, and a Tow Truck Operator license from the TDLR, of which there are 3 different levels depending on what kind of towing you plan to do.

Fortunately, it’s not like that down here. I have heard some horror stories about it. rotations are my favorite.

In NYC, it's like a pig in lipstick 🐷👄😁

Glad we don’t have that problem here lol

@@Towtruck_Dustin ,alot of times & unfortunately they even let non rotow & illegal tow trucks steal both rotow & DARP tows from legitimate towing companies & wrecker drivers....it's ridiculous & half the time the illegal tow trucks overcharge the customer or steal the jobs from the legitimate bodyshops either & are uninsured as well, rather pay a little higher tow rate from a legitimate operator, then use bootleg tow trucks & shoddy bodyshops, not worth it

Sounds like ur kissing butt didn’t work n got kick out of rotation!🤣🤣🤣 cus where I’m at we don’t kiss the butt

Much appreciated!!

Thanks for the encouragement!! I have a lot of content that is currently scheduled, and still filming and editing more as jobs come in.

hey blox

Yeah that’s how he has gotten 1k in 2 days

The growth the channel has had recently is nothing short of amazing. Never did I think it would take off like this. I appreciate everyone that’s helped get me to this point.

@@Towtruck_Dustin Almost 2.5K ALREADY!! congratulations

Skates would have also worked, but blocks take less time to put on and off, and since on a police call you generally have a lane or whole road blocked, saving time is the name of the game. Generally I only use skates on higher end cars, but that’s also generally roadside calls when I have more time to play with also.

Thanks!

Brush Guard aka damage multiplier.

Thanks for the sub!

@@Towtruck_Dustin You're welcome. Awesome videos. Keep up the great work. Stay safe.

Most companies will hire you without experience.

I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice the fishing rod 😂😂

@@Towtruck_Dustin I saw it and thought “was that a fishing pole?” Had to go back a few seconds and check.

I like straps and ratchets because to me they’re faster and easier to use and store. Now on anything 3/4 and up I’ll use chains on the rear.

😂😂😂

Not sure on that. Definitely a weird accident scene.

Thanks!

Moving the truck. You use the bed to lift the rear tires, then push the truck forward and back

Yeah it was definitely the switch cutting off the fuel pump. Most newer fords have that problem when I pick them up at an accident.

Thanks, I’ll try.

Unication G4

This was in lake Jackson, Texas. Brazoria county.

$6000 in damage

@@missingremote4388 I find that hard to believe. Way more likely the Ford is on a one-way trip to Copart or Insurance Auto Auctions.

I believe that was an impound. I think it’s already been released.

😂 I hate that broom so much lol

The international in this video was a 2020, the Kenworth in my current videos is a 2022.

Same. Lol

Unication G4.

@@Towtruck_Dustin Ook cool I’ve been trying to find a good police scanner.

I’ll have to remember that.

It’s definitely not for everyone. It’s more of a lifestyle than it is a job.

U guys have any big trucks that tow tractor trailer because I drive tractor trailers

We do. We have a 25 ton, and 35 ton wrecker. I’m not a Heavy operator, but we have the capability.

Cool

That’s unfortunate. Luckily we don’t have that problem down here.

You sure thats the reason? Police departments often have a tow company on contract that handles all their tows. Could be why you only see one tow company. The department I worked for had a tow company on contract. They handled all impounds and evidence tows as well as collisions. People could ask for their own tow on collision scenes as well.

It was lol

Depends on what want to do. To run the light and medium duty trucks all you need is a normal driver’s license and a tow operator license. To run the heavy duty’s you’ll need a CDL and the tow op license.

@@Towtruck_Dustin I’m 18 I might have to look into that

You’ll have to ask around but most insurance companies won’t pick up anyone under the age of 25 for commercial towing insurance. So most companies can’t hire you until 25

@@Towtruck_Dustin that makes sense. I really want to get my cdl I have a company in mind and they hire and train people under 21 so hopefully I can get into that I know it’s a few stipulations and rules for cdl holders under 21 but hopefully it’ll work out.

My daughter's bf is 21. He got his tow license for the state of Virginia. He has to wait until he is 25 to tow out of state. The insurance is also problematic as to the type of tows he can do.

The only thing the city trash pickup does is ride around on the garbage trucks and pickup the trash bags from houses on garbage day. Nothing to do with traffic accidents.

@@Towtruck_Dustin I see,I thought it as what is in my country,there are trash men to clean the streets and trucks to gather the garbage from the garbage cans.

Not around here lol

@@Towtruck_Dustin The people put their garbage in the cans,and the trash men clean the streets from the trees leaves and others.

It does, but it’s not an auto loader, so that would have taken extra time. Easier to just load it onto the deck and roll out.

I do. I watch his channel religiously lol.

@@Towtruck_Dustin 👍

Always! Thanks for watching. Love seeing how far my channel has reached!

I’m not sure to be honest

Because if I drop it at the location of their choosing, be it home or a repair facility, they have to pay out of pocket before we drop, otherwise we don’t get payed. If it goes to the yard, insurance pays for it to go to the repair facility, and the customer doesn’t have an out of pocket charge.

The company I work for is based out of Angleton, roughly an hour south of Houston.

@@Towtruck_Dustin o ok I have a friend that lives in Hereford Texas

Oh ok, yeah that’s like 11 hours away. Lol

Didn’t even notice that 😂

In a Chevy either not getting away

I do. But the time that it takes to hammer them under the tires isn’t worth it on an accident scene. Plus the tires were already on the bed, so they slide easy any way.

Campbell’s towing

In the tow truck? It had 1/2 tank at the time.

@@Towtruck_Dustin I saw it after I commented, Bottom gauge look like it was on empty. Nice video and tricks on how to load and unload

It wouldn’t start lol

@@Towtruck_Dustin lol really maybe inertia switch

How would he drive a truck that won’t start 😂

Would definitely be fun, but it’s nice to not sit around wasting time at a scene you might not even get lol

Here in chicago that is crazy dangerous the stupid wreck chasers blow stop signs and red lights

That’s pretty much how it is in Houston also. I’m glad we don’t have to deal with chasing wrecks down here. I just listen to the scanner and whenever I hear the record before us get calls, I just listen for the next accident and wait in the area.

Doing it like this still stops it from moving both directions. The ratchets are just on the inside rather than the outside. I did it like this because then I won’t have so much tag end of strap to roll up. It’s still strapped down just as effectively.

@Ron Pratt and @Towman127 are my favorites
