Q:What camera do you use?
A: I use the Go Pro Hero 7 Black Edition primarily. Often times you will see auxillary cameras in use. Those cameras include The Go Pro Hero 6, Hero, and DJI Mavic Pro Platinum
Q: How big Is your rotator?
A: It is a 50 ton Miller Industries Vulcan 950
Q: Does the carriage slide back like Ron Pratt's?
A: No, the carriage doesn't slide back due to strict weight laws in California. The sliding carriage will make the truck to heavy in CA
Q: Why do you only have 3 winches on the rotator?
A: Comes down to weight again as stated above
Q: How many trucks Does Plaza Towing have?
A: Currently more than 30
Q: Why must the driveshaft be removed to tow a vehicle?
A: When vehicles are not running the transmission is not receiving circulating lubricant. If the driveshaft is left installed, the transmission, which is not receiving lubricant, is still spinning. This allows it to get very hot which eventually will cause major damage to the transmission. Therefore, removing the driveshaft completely eliminates the transmission from spinning. Simply leaving it in neutral is not sufficient since the transmission still spins in neutral.

You are an excellent and patient instructor/teacher. Kudos to both of you.

[@billmckelvey602]

Great job Alex You are getting better with each job. Be safe

[@gregappelt]

Every day is a new learning experience. Good job today Alex.

[@HughzieTube]

Damn, thought we might get a bit of medium duty action there.
Alex is getting better with every video.

[@Chrisghy27]

One point, 10/10 times when I am on level ground I leave the one container end on the ground and release brakes on truck and trailer and then winch myself underneath of container. Little easier on equipment when only other end of container is sliding and not the entire bottom creating drag. At least you had a fork lift to center it on the deck, always nice.

[@sameagleandbonnie1955]

Great Job Alex.

[@edwinschlee8374]

That was a neat way to load that box.

[@louielopez1638]

Awesome. Good job...😀👍😎

[@desertrat8322]

Awesome video Trent !!!!!

[@Chris-wh2gy]

Next up Alex cam! 🎥

[@davidschabel7832]

Good job, nice training your help, pull toy here.

[@garyskowbo3564]

Well Trent,from the looks of that container it would be hard to hurt it much using a chain. Having said that , I know its better to have the proper equipment especially when you are a professional company. Thanks for another great video! 👍😀

[@800canamrider]

You guys should’ve gotten the 440 Landolls with the container package!

[@carlcurcuruto6893]

Great vid

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Grading with a Landoll. Lol

[@silentepsilon888]

Landoll landscaping services :)

[@borisobrucicov8630]

I love Alex's beard. You should guys let him grow it longer. It looks good on him.😉😎👍

[@quantumss]

Wonder how many windshields got cracked from the loose stones falling off the bed.

[@antonionascimento5319]

Lindo vídeo

[@Ronkosluk]

Would you consider releasing the brakes on the truck and sliding under the container as you are winching it on the bed. I used it when I ran roll off container trucks, seems to be easier on the cable and I guided the trk underneath as I was rolling under the container.

[@donaldglover4627]

Shut up

[@AndyParadise561]

You don't ever use the 400 series for containers?
I would suggest getting some 4"x8"x1/2" angle iron for the sides. Rectangular tubing could be welded on the bottom of the angle to slide in the stake pockets of the trailers.

[@plazatowing]

We don’t use our landolls because the containers destroy the wood decks. Thank you for watching!

[@brianpeterson9751]

nice vid i can see those containers really beat up the trailer, do you guys do this often. alex is doing awesome,very lucky he has awesome trainers at plaza. so much to learn at the jobs you guys do. how long have you been training alex. so many things you need to know.

[@plazatowing]

Yes they do beat the trailers up that is why we only use this old steel deck trailer for containers not our wood decked landolls. Alex has been with us for a few months now and is now fully capable of doing most tows and we train him on new stuff as it comes in.

[@agentcrm]

I'm surprised you guys haven't picked up a self loading container trailer if you're moving a lot of containers.

[@nathanbrodeur]

Trent that trailer might be older than you but not as old as me

[@longy6612]

Its a pain in the ass pulling containers up without sides on the trailer

[@kat2641]

Was that empty? If not you could load a house with that winch 0.0

[@michaelaaron4212]

Is the tow truck you drove there in a medium duty

[@kimberlydavis5034]

Do you know any places that sell used trailers with wheels for a 40ft shipping container to make into a tiny house on wheels?

[@Mrgoresnake]

no comments yet, interesting.

[@huskerboy3471]
