an apprentice in 1969 when a new freightliner was only twenty five thousand dollars. Someone had a wreck and it sat in the corner and we built it into a wrecker as a spare time project to keep the shop busy. When it was finished the accountant had a fit as the value was more than a new one.

hey jamie im bummed they took hth off netflix and there arent many episodes on youtube. im sure your program has saved many lives by showing the world thru your perspective.THANK YOU

Jamie. I watch your show ever time it’s on It’s Amazing how you pick up them so much after being crushed like that you do such a wonderful job recovering all that equipment wish you all the best luck God bless

I love all the Heavy Rescue shows but Jamie Davis got it started on TV. Highway Thru Hell is still the number one show in my opinion, before to long you won't need a TV show, you all will become KZfaq stars. Thanks for the Q/A series.

Awesome, glad everyone is well! We also had large bouts of illness in December and January I firmly believe was Coronavirus as well. It might explain why no one here has caught it since testing has become available. I still enjoy watching you guys. I still wish I had been allowed to be more involved in the towing before my boss sold out the towing equipment. Be safe big guy! Easy on the hair products there... :)

It's really cool that home is where your heart is Jamie, I'm pretty sure that makes you a fortunate fella. Also, rotators are fantastic, they're a very cool and capable piece of equipment but it's difficult to justify all of the costs associated with that piece of gear that's not being used daily and paying it's own way. I've been in very similar situations and I think I have an understanding of the dilemma. It's kinda like taking away from your own family to have a big shiny machine in the yard. Keep on keepin' on Jamie!

I wish Highway Thru Hell was still on😭😭😭

Jamie, you and your family rock!! Thanks for taking us along for the adventures!! Also, it's nice to see the towing companies help each other out when needed!!

Back in the 70's I was a heavy recovery we had a F700 Ford and a AEC (English truck) both had Holmes backs

Love that your keeping the old trucks going Jamie. Keep posting the restoration stuff

No question. Just wanted to say thank you & may God keep you all safe. God bless. Paula

I've been watching the show from the start. Fun to watch someone else doing hard work . I'm surprised you do so much hand bombing when unloading. On hill sided, I'm wondering why you don't use the "yarding" logging technique to move stuff uphill? Run a cable to a tree (or even several to provide the base), tighten it, then hang a basket on that cable and use another to lower and raise it to roadside. Load the basket at the bottom of the hill, winch it up. No need to struggle one package at a time up the hill side. Cycling several baskets at top and bottom of hill would speed things up.

Awesome watching it show. Here in South Africa we not getting season 6 or 7 on discovery. Not sure why. Watch it on KZfaq. Keep up good work. Difficult work in very difficult conditions. And doing the job with old iron is more demanding. Look forward to it shows

Hey Jamie. Love what u have done to your fleet of wreckers. I think it's absolutely amazing to see some of the very first rigs from holmes to hit the pavement again. And also i just love the idea and concept u have with Bruce's wrecker.

Great to see you back on the channel. Love the shop project updates !

Loved the show and I enjoy the you tube check in. I spent 30 years running Donner summit and I have seen up close what the tow company does and it's amazing how they handle these situations.

It’s actually running again here in Sydney, AU on Foxtel A&E, tomorrow is S1 EP9. Have only seen a genuine Rotator here on the news at a bus accident last year in the metro area. We don’t have the bad weather like you do when heavy tow equipment is needed. Great show, pity it’s gone. Cheers. Peter H

Just keep on truckin Jaimie and company! Love the coverage on your work and Quiring too, Reliable... All of you, you are tough working dudes! Love the show, my girlfriend loves it too! Big thumbs up! By the way we really like the old wreckers, especially that GMC General! That one is a peach!

I love how you keep it real.

Enjoy the show and your stories . You are correct, it's not easy owning your own business. I should know, I've been in the excavation business here in S.E. Mass. for 51 years. Just retired, sort of. I've had moments over the years when I would think why am I doing this. But in the end I wouldn't have changed a thing. All the best to you, your family and crew.

Would be Great seeing you get your Old One Back someday 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

ROTATORS ARE GREAT BUT, INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE TO BUY AND EVEN MORE INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE TO MAINTAIN. Maintenance is Non-Stop!

Hello Jamie, I watched lots of your shows and love them all. I had a "79 U model Mack I ran from 1985 until 1992. I quit trucking because I could not figure out how to keep financially afloat. How do you buy all that expensive equipment and keep going. You sold off the new stuff and began running old stuff and then realized you need new equipment. I love that aspect of your show. I started trucking as an apprentice in 1

I'm still so sad Highway thru hell has been taken off Netflix😞 they only had up to season 5

I just watched an episode when the delivery truck was almost in a ditch jamie pulled them out if danger and not rolling over then he didn't charge them I know he's a very smart business man and pulling for free occasionally tells you where his belief in man kind is good job man!

Glad your staying healthy

When building a heavy wrecker how do you match the wrecker body to the chassis? For example you have tandem trucks with only 25 Ton wrecker bodies but single axles (Python) with 22 ton wrecker bodies. Wouldn't you want to put the strongest wrecker body on that the truck could handle to have the greatest lifting power for recovery? Thanks

I really felt for Jamie when he bought that rotator to clear the road quicker and then law enforcement gives half the business to an operation with dubious credentials to do the job. Seeing this lack of loyalty and appreciation for his efforts sickened me; having seen it locally I can feel the betrayal he must have felt. Getting into the more private areas of the business was surely the best move he could make for his business.

So many people I know around the UK, US and Asia, myself included were sick in January with Covid symptoms as Jamie had.

keep up the good work im a tow truck driver in new zealand

To answer Jamie's question yes he bought one and yes it is used The truck is called HR 56 it use to belong to LA Fire and Rescue and it was on their show on NatGeo when Newsum passed the new CEPA regulations Station 56 sold the truck to Jamie after a fan suggestion on their Twitter, KZfaq, and Facebook page. If you watched the new episodes of Season 9 Jamie had three nasty wrecks so did Reliable, Aggressive, Mission, and United Towing trucks were going in the ditch, one went over a cliff, two hit the rock cut, there was that fuel spill, and that ATV trailer was on its side on the bridge into town. This is why you need a rotator the truck is old school but to Jamie this is what he needs if he has to call it up.

Jamie so sorry to hear about Ken passing away I don't know if he worked for you or not still but I am sorry for your loss of a good friend....

Really enjoy your videos Jamie Hope y’all have a great day Be safe out there!

I was just in Baltimore at the Towman Expo and heard so many people talking about how amazing you are and how much they look up to!

i got towed a while back by one of your former trucks. It was a 40 Ton Western Star running in New York

Jamie Davis a true OG

What is it like to own your own business? I would have said you see my bald head I use to have hair.

love your channel. a down to earth guy

I would like to see some videos of the long haul recovery side of your biz if possible. Are you going to paint Bruce ( out of respect for him ) on the hood of his truck? He was a salty lovable character and sorely missed by all. Also how is Brandon doing and what job does he have?

You should buy an older crane truck or a pipe laying bulldozer. The dozer you will have to truck around but would be perfect for those scary Cliffside pulls. You could take a winch truck from the oil fields and build your own boom at the back. A poor man's rotator would be a excavator with the crane attachment. Well just some ideas hope to see you again

hey i’m sorry to hear about Ken buddy, he was a great man! passionate about towing Rest Ken

I love your show Jamie Davis you're the best you are awesome

Great video Jamie

After watching you through 8 Years I am so motivated by your Business sense, thankyou my friend [I DO think of you as that.] Please believe me I DO NOT give that accolation to just anyone, mainly to Jamie Davis ! hehheheheh

Your such a good guy,in a very tough business ,I"m sure your a very fair and great boss.I live in NEW Jersey,the well established towing out fit"s here,seem to have the most imaculate wreckers,chrome don"t get you home.My personal truck is 24 years old,_cheaper to keep "em.

Thank you for being a real cool and Positive guy

We love you guys! From USA

It would be great if jamie could review some tow trucks from other countries. For example in Australia almost all of the lighter duty tow trucks are tilt trays (roll backs) . In thailand tow trucks are built out of what you guys call mid sized trucks, then they tow much bigger vehicles with them.

The music is too loud for the voice. Thanks for answering questions.

Have you ever considered buying any used military equipment I've seen lots of army 6x6 wreckers that might be handy for some of your off road work.

Just thought I’d come back to this after your latest video and getting another rotator

It is interesting what you say about having Covid 19 back in January. We also believe that a lot of us here in New Zealand had back in December last year. We will all sick and it took a while to shake if off with the symptoms being almost identical to the Covid 19 symptoms.

Great Human Look forward to meeting him some day

I love watching the channel I so thankful Brianna davis convinced u to make channel jamie

British Columbia it's beatiful a great place to live and work , saludos from México 👍👍🇲🇽

KZfaq will not let me subscribe. But I love watching your show.

About the covid-19 question I think us here at Suburban Towing in Kentucky a bunch of our guys got sick around December and January also we also think that we may have had it and gotten over it I hope this way

Seen the Mack Anthem this last week parked at the Love's in Prosser, WA. Quite a-ways from home.

Glad y’all are doing good !!

Sir Jamie & Breanna !!! Thanks for the updates !!! Question ??? Is Samy going to come back to work ?? & Did Coleen quit ??? Keep the videos coming & ''KEEP IT SAFE ""!!

Jamie I see about tator in your future and bless you and your health and your crew members

I'd at least get used rotator but the smallest model you can find or by just rotator body and attach it to a classic peterbilt or kenworth. Just to have for a just in case. Hope everyone has a great weekend and be safe

Can wait til the new season starts

Hi Jamie, family and friends! Hope you all are well. Love the show, always wanting more episodes. My question is: Have you ever thought of pranking Al by putting chrome on his truck?

Man when are you gunna show some up dates on Bruce's truck a put it back to work Orr yeahh we live in Melbourne Victoria Australia a love the show keep up the good work a love your show ovaa

Merry Christmas to you and your family and friends.🎄

Love watching this show!

YA GOTTA LOVE JAMIE,!!!!

jamie we love you down here ontario you good man

Stay safe out there. Firm believer in Boots On The Ground Shut Her Down. To all the wrecker outfits out there keep up the great work as well.

Instead of getting a rotator I seen some of your rescues and I think a crane would be best suited maybe an ex-military 8x8 green might be best suited for your kind of situations something to think about

Good questions, good answers.

yes!

The music had me look for the rotator question at the end where it was. My interest is the stated subject, but not necessarily your taste or volume of music.

i had it in december.... thought i was seriously dying

You are the best man

Thank you Jamie.

Great catch up. Look forward to the next one. What are you using instead of the Tundras? Visited last year great selection of merchandise

Hey jamie it would be cool if you bought another rotator. If ya do then check out the newest one from miller industries. The m100 century rotator. It's the biggest baddest ass and most powerful rotator on the planet. And I'm not kidding.

What happens when you do a tow/recovery and the owners don’t pay.. can you keep their trucks etc..?

Have you thought about dash and body cams of trucks and crew? i am sure with a full time editor ( intern from filmschool) a youtube show can be made.

Love your show Bud

Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

Be cool if you could find a rotator body and mount to a old school truck to stay away from the fancy new truck problems

Keep safe guys and girls!

Jamie do you ever use the one for recuse truck any more. The mount of money for a rotator you could 2 to 3 50 ton tow trucks.

Please consider a microphone and turning down the music.

I’d love to see a vid on the whole fleet of trucks all parked beside one another and all that, have you gotten rid of any trucks in the past few years?

I love your show best on tv

Great video! It would be even better with a microphone to have a clean and clear sound of Jamie’s voice!

Have you watched the UK show Trucking Hell about 2 recovery firms in England.

Thanku jamie!

I BELIEVE, JAMIE, THAT MANY OF US CANADIANS ARE RIGHTFULLY PROUD OF YOU, FOR BEING SUCH A DESCENT HUMAN BEING! I CANNOT SAY THAT , FOR A LOT OF OTHER EMPLOYERS ACROSS CANADA. I HAVE HEARD FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE MET YOU, THAT YOU ARE A SUPER NICE GUY! BY THE WAY, HOW IS ADAM GAZZOLA , AND HIS FAMILY? ALSO, RESPECTFULLY PLEASE TELL SAMMY, THAT HE ALWAYS APPEARED AS A VERY COMPETANT , SERIOUS ASSISTANT TO YOU, AND HE ALWAYS APPEARED PROFESSIONAL ON CAMERA. WHEN I SAW HIM RECENTLY VISITING YOU, HE MAY BE COMFORTABLE, BUT ALL THAT HAIR , FRANKLY DOES HIS APPEARANCE NO GOOD. I INADVERTANTLY OWN 4 OLDER TOW TRUCKS, ONE A HOLMES 600 WITH 750 BOOMS. A CHEVY 5 TON, HOME BUILT WRECKER, THAT IS ENORMOUSLY POWERFUL, A GOVT OF CANADA WRECKER THAT WORKED ON THE CHAMPLAIN BRIDGE, AND ANOTHER ONE, ALSO A GM , THAT WORKED FOR THE GOVT. THEY ARE ALL A COLLECTION FOR ME,. I KNOW THAT YOU RESPECTED, AND CHERISHED BRUCE'S MEMORY. BUT HIS BAD ATTITUDE, HIS SMOKING AND DRINKING, PROBABLY CUT HIM DOWN. I SAW YOUR EMOTION WHEN YOU TALKED OF HIM. I HAVE WORKED WITH MEN LIKE THAT, AND RESPECTFULLY JAMIE, THE TRUTH IS YEAH, THEY GET STUFF DONE; BUT THEY ARE NO BOWL OF CHERRIES ! TO PUT IT POLITELY. WE ARE ALL GOING TO FACE OUR MAKER ONE DAY, REGARDLESS OF OUR VIEWS ON THE SUBJECT! I HAVE SEEN THE DARK SIDE OF MEN, LIKE BRUCE. JAMIE. THAT FOUL MOUTHED VIKING S.O.B. ON GOLD RUSH, IS NO DIFFERENT. THANK GOD I CANNOT REMEMBER HIS NAME! YES HE IS A WEALTHY MAN, AND HE WILL NOT TAKE A PENNY WITH HIM, WHEN HE FACES GOD! THANK YOU JAMIE, FOR BEING A DESCENT MAN! kennethzakaib607@gmail.com montreal quebec Canada.

Will Colin be joining your operation for season # 9 ?

Glad to hear everyone is doing well and staying healthy! I really miss Highway thru Hell series. I know you’re doing well with the long haul towing jobs but I have to ask do you miss the heavy recovery at all ? Seems to be in your blood as well as your brothers too ! Either case you are a true professional Thankyou for sharing 👍

Recovery busniess is down 70% now they have closed the bars down !

What was the most difficult part of recovery to learn? I would think rigging.

How many wreckers do you have working and how many project wreckers do you have

What’s the impact on your business from doing the show? Was the show canceled?
