@@anacleta424 Commercial truck drivers who regularly get lose gravel and sand on the their truck follow the laws because if they don't it easily results in commercial tickets from the DOT. We're not talking about the average ticket a cop gives to someone driving a car, we're talking about commercial vehicle tickets written by the DOT..... who, by the way, can pull you over at any time WITHOUT a reason. If you don't brush your truck off, you WILL get tickets from the DOT.... and it doesn't take many tickets from them for a driver to get his act together.

I have wiped (swept) sand and gravel off my lowboy trailers and the back of my dump trucks literally hundreds of thousand of times over the last 30+ years as a commercial driver. Casey did the right thing, for sure.... but so does everyone else in the this business. What you saw Casey do is the rule, not the exception.
Agreed that this is the law, but I've lost a windshield following a dump truck before. All the laws in the world won't stop thoughtless idiots. The fact that Casey showed this is classy, IMHO.
I absolutely love your shenanigans videos! This definitely qualifies! The people who said you shouldn’t take a long truck on that road didn’t know Casey’s driving skills! 💕😊👌💕👍
The whole time you were driving up, I kept asking myself, 'Self, if Casey's doing this rescue, what other crazy person is coming up to rescue HIM?' Nice work.
The guy with the 6x6 military tow rig we've seen during forest cleanups..... After that, maybe Matt & his friends, HeavyD's HET or his friends with the Chinook.....
That was fun!! I know nothing about what your doing but watching big trucks in areas where they should not be but have to go is very entertaining. More please.
Your greatest friends are the ones who will still take the piss out of you even when you are helping them out, that two point turn had me laughing more than it should have ☺
20:30 - a perfect example of "you are driving the TRAILER, not the truck". Very nice setup. This is something I think a lot of drivers don't get. First you get the trailer where you want it set up for the turn and then you position the tractor. The reason this works is that in the first 8 or 10 feet you back up, no input you make to the steering has any affect on the trailer. This means you are just moving the trailer back and forth in the same spot to get the tractor set up to go around the turn. Well done! 👍
Watching you guys eating lunch while I'm waiting for lunch was only a little uncomfortable ... and what a pleasure to have so many similar minded buds all around you assisting each other! What it's all about!
Good afternoon Mr. Casey. Apart from all your other "crimes' against the TH-cam "experts", you really are in the top echelon of genuine professional heavy semi drivers. Great job as usual, with no BS.
Your experience hauling oversized loads, paid off big time. You made this whole recovery look easy and that expensive piece of equipment sat there for years, just waiting for you to get the right combination of equipment.
Casey, it may be my imagination but it looks like your rear drive tires are underinflated. The center is deep tread but your edges are worn. And I definitely enjoy your videos, thank you for bringing us along!
A great adventure with no complications...even a huge space in which to reposition the trailer. If you have the time, please explain the functions of all of those analog gauges on the dashboard of your massive truck. Good grief !!
Trucks have a lot of gauges to monitor pretty much everything they can. Engine temp, oil pressure, air filter restrictions, boost, air tank pressures, transmission and diff temps.
That was some good steering! I got almost 2 miilion miles hauling everying in the 7 western states including AK, in last 30 years, with most of it being heavy haul. With every kind of trailer you can imagine.Good job, i thought you were a little light on tools and supplies to "rescue a rig thats been sitting" but i guess everything was in support truck. Good Job!
I know Casey has plans for that truck, but I'm still wondering what he's doing with it if he's not putting an apartment on that wheelbase. At my last company I was a little over 300 inches with a 53' quad axle chip trailer and as a rookie with only a few years of part time driving under my belt that rig was a pain in the butt in town. Casey has to be 330 on that truck or more. Or maybe the camera is just playing tricks on me.
Man, did you luck out!! The old Cat started, ran, and the hydraulics worked!! AND, even better... you got a meat-loaf sandwich!! A day just can't hardly get any better than that!!! LOL!! Looks like your trailer is doing it's job very nicely!! Great video!!
I think one of these Old log skidders would make the ultimate recovery machine. Replace the grapple with just a loop to throw the winch cable through. Maybe use the grapple hydraulics for a couple of outriggers? And they're pretty much affordable to maintain except for the freaking tires 😢
You sir, are a class act through and thru. And the way you use that 360 cam like you just bought it (although it’s been a long time) speaks to your commitment to quality content. Then to find out it’s gonna become a fire fighter after all that is just the cherry on top of the whipped cream on the milkshake! (So to speak).
You are a genuinely nice man. You respect people and nature. Very unusual in these times when there is so much hate. Not to mention you drive that truck like it's a VW
That was cool video of how smooth they are supposed to go. I saw a trailer like yours years ago that had one very short and very fat cylinder in the middle with a 3ft diameter foot on it. This cylinder was mounted in the balance point with the tongue flat. They guy pulled in a tight yard and unhooked. Then with this center cylinder picked the trailer up maybe 4 inches and him and his wife spun the trailer 180 degrees by hand. absolutely the neatest thing I have even seen on a trailer. He said he carried many trackhoes for swimming pool companies in tight neighborhoods and being able to do so was nice. I did not ever see his new trailer he was having built with the same pivot cylinder that he told us would also have steering rear axles to be able to go down alleys in nicer neighborhoods without knocking over gas meters. Very nice job on the recovery for sure. I like the western star allot. good looking truck. I wish international would get there gremlins resolved. We finally just sold all of ours.
Ngl Casey, you have some great friends and companions who just make your videos which are already fantastic even better. Videos with Ben, Quinton, Grumpy and Jeremy are always a blast! Btw what happened to David?
Built a few logging roads 50_60 years back in N.E.Texas to N.E. Oklahoma. N. Louisiana to Missouri line. John Deere 540 A & B model Skidders. Like the B better than the Timber Jack ,but International and CAT were more powerful but slower.
Great Video brother and the trailer is awesome with the way it functions. Oh the Western Star is one great looking truck and i for one, am really looking forward to your project behind the cab. Take care and be safe out there. Greg
I got up for work today & started watching this video. While you were having your meatloaf sandwich, I realized I had a Post General Store t-shirt on. I stop there whenever I pass by.
Ran one of those old 518‘s when I was a kid. They were stable on my stepfather‘s Logging operation. They’re damn near indestructible as long as you do the maintenance you cannot kill those machines. I wish it would’ve been in Alabama because I would’ve bought the damn thing immediately.
Anytime I get to Oregon I am going to the center of the state while I am there to get at least one meatloaf sandwich; and maybe several for the cooler. After seeing you there before, I have to try one of those sandwiches. Another good recovery!
I was thinking it might be convenient for you to have a grapple skidder you could borrow for abandoned vehicle removals. :) Well, maybe there is another one.
No more questions about your truck and trailer choice. Worked to perfection. Now Clinton has to buy more equipment to keep you working the big boy toys! Fun video.....Casey never disappoints viewers. Even on reviews
So many memories come to mind watching your videos. Way back in 1975, I was a young mechanic for a logging, mining, construction, and forestry equipment dealer. I also drove the single axle roll back truck and helped when needed on heavier equipment hauls. As a young man fresh out of the military, it started my career, which went on to me becoming a Highway Maintenance Foreman for the largest county in Minnesota. I've worked on, around, and with most everything you do and being long retired watching you work really takes me back.
My first job when I was 17 was setting choke on one of those things! Nothing scarier then double choking a huge tree and the skidder driver has to drop the front blade into a creek bed to get the tree moving!
that was a fun trip. Good that you have that short trailer. You might not need to have a pin or extra chains when the machine articulates in Oregon, but other areas do require it. Some machines just have a big pin that drops in a hole and its done.
@@sumguy00 Yup, it is required, if you're required to follow FMCSA load securement regulations anyway, guess depends on if the state adopted them or not. 49 CFR 393.130(b)2 : articulated vehicles shall be restrained in a manner that prevents articulation while in transit.
Hi Ryan😁 nice to see you and all the family, you should be very proud of them, and all you're hard work with the new yard. Keep up the good work.👍. Iain , ( Scotland ).
WOW!! Thank you this trip down Memory Lane! I spent weeks and weeks driving every single little ratty dirt road out there in the Wolf Creek area for a timber sale planning effort a number of years ago. Glad to see you giving much love to the Post Store (one of my favorite places to stop for milkshakes on the way back from Rager country). Nice Shenanigans Video!! Quinton bought lunch, right?
Go check out Quinton’s version of this recovery!

Thanks brother....enjoyed yours for a long lunch....and will watch Q's with dinner😋
Nice 518 skidder
How did you film along the truck as you were driving up the pavement? It was a nice angle of filming
how do you get the "drone" shots while driving? this can't be camera on a stick....?
@@thedavesofourlives1 it’s a camera on a stick
Casey: I can tell that this video has some age on it! Why you ask? Because the trailer isn’t RED😂😂
You removing the gravel from your trailer to prevent damage to other vehicles (about 18:20) says a great deal about you, Casey.
Oh yes. Also that's mandatory in Canada.
Well, it IS the law... 😉

what other crazy person is coming up to rescue HIM?'
I will give you three guesses ... and they are all able to do it !!!!!
And NOW we fully understand why it's Cascade Heave Rescue
I seriously Laughed out Loud at Quintons Turn 22:30.
Yeah me too! I'm still laughing about it. Yet some truck drivers don't know about that trick.
Pretty awesome that cats worked hard, but the original owner took damn good care of it for it to sit for that length of time and not to have no issues
I wouldn't say took care of or no issues but it started. It was iffy it cranked so slow but it did start.
That was fun!! I know nothing about what your doing but watching big trucks in areas where they should not be but have to go is very entertaining. More please.
The view from your office window continues to amaze and astound. What a great way to start a saturday!
So cool to see you not only back at work, but to see you in your previous career and enjoying it.
It's not the big stuff that shows how professional Casey is It's the little stuff like cleaning the dirt and rocks off the side rails good job sir
Congratulations with this first serious job for the trailer! If anything deserved the by now world famous Post (OR) meatloaf, it was this.
Your greatest friends are the ones who will still take the piss out of you even when you are helping them out, that two point turn had me laughing more than it should have ☺

I really like this trailer... the scissor ramp is way better than the other system that detaches
Casey you sound so much happier now you're back to hauling with a functional truck. So good. The other rigs will come good :-)
Heavy haul lowbed guys know how to get it done. All the local guys I know with lowbeds are all incredible drivers. The places those guys go, oh yeah!.
Watching you guys eating lunch while I'm waiting for lunch was only a little uncomfortable ... and what a pleasure to have so many similar minded buds all around you assisting each other! What it's all about!
Thank you Casey. I like the Austin powers turn😂😂😂. I made meat loaf when I saw this video.
Great Job driving , Casey! ESPECIALLY whild holding the video stick!!! amazing!!
Good afternoon Mr. Casey. Apart from all your other "crimes' against the TH-cam "experts", you really are in the top echelon of genuine professional heavy semi drivers. Great job as usual, with no BS.
For the trailer boards, I started using my drained engine oil. Works better than anything purchased at the store and free.
Your experience hauling oversized loads, paid off big time. You made this whole recovery look easy and that expensive piece of equipment sat there for years, just waiting for you to get the right combination of equipment.
Nice one Casey. You are truly a gentleman !
Always good getting a Casey video!
Another perfect recovery. 😊.
Casey, it may be my imagination but it looks like your rear drive tires are underinflated. The center is deep tread but your edges are worn. And I definitely enjoy your videos, thank you for bringing us along!

That purchase was awesome. And it starting was even better. The Meatloaf Sami shop was a nice extra.
I think that would be a perfect start for a mountain rescue vehicle.
That was one mighty Recovery! Thank you for sharing! 👌 😊

Its amazing that the Cat even cranked, it goes to show you how good a Cat is....
Ain't no way that 518 Cat started that easy.
There had to be some massaging and fanagling prior to this video.
Another successful and good recovery job guys
That was a good way to start with the trailer you finally got! I like these kinds of video with heavy haul trucks! Good job Casey!
I’ll admit at 51 years old that’s the very first low boy I’ve ever seen where the gooseneck rolls down to the freaking ramp!! 😮mind officially blown
Cool piece of equipment. Look forward to what it'll look like once he's all done with it
Man, did you luck out!! The old Cat started, ran, and the hydraulics worked!! AND, even better... you got a meat-loaf sandwich!! A day just can't hardly get any better than that!!! LOL!! Looks like your trailer is doing it's job very nicely!! Great video!!
I have always liked the look and reliability of Western Star. Pair that with a very functional trailer and you’ve got a great combination sir!

That looks like it was quite challenging with the camera out the window through the mirror and shifting. Congratulations on doing that.
I have a 1969 D8H and that old girl will start no matter what. Cat built some GNARLY motors back in the day prior to the electronic area.

That rigs looks great especially out in the woods

Thank you - love your content
I like the idea of a recovery of something that actually works !
You should have bought it yourself, modify the arch, add an underlift to make it the ultimate recovery skidder
Who could ever tire of watching that man... awesome
I got up for work today & started watching this video. While you were having your meatloaf sandwich, I realized I had a Post General Store t-shirt on.
I stop there whenever I pass by.
Did anyone else say 'oh geeze' when they crossed that small bridge at 3:24? Another nice recovery.
Love to see what that becomes. Honest work.
Congratulations on 200k subscribers! Another GREAT video.
For a camera operator/editor, you can handle that truck pretty good. Need to visit your truck driving aunt & uncle more often. Great stories.

When you drop the goose neck you need to have an old mudflap to put under the fifth wheel pin on the trailer to keep sand and dirt off the pin.

Eastern Oregon.
