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.
I was expecting to see "Swift" on the trailer. Good job guys.
Hit so hard the Swift probably fell off.
Swing Wide It's a Friggen Trailer!
@@j.t.johnston3048 or Sure Wished I Finished Training
Yeah it fell off b4 being put on bonehead truckers of the week
@@jerryplante4239 JERRY! IT'S! SEE WHAT I F...,!, UP TODAY!
DMV: Can you tie your shoes son?
Man: No man, they are velcro.
DMV: Congratulations, Here is your CDL.
Your wrong butt that's funny in l a Chicago .new york and other citys
he MASSACRED this thing. ive NEVER seen this much damage on an upright not topped trailer..
I saw a flatbed lose a battle to a pole a couple weeks ago at the pilot in Cartersville. Weird stuff
I’ve been driving 35 years and my first thought was, this level of stupidity cant be taught, you have to be born with it. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Copy that. Some of the shit I see these rooks do just boggles my mind, but you just can't fix stupid. Give them an automatic tractor and send them down the road, what could go wrong, lol??
He can work for swift now.
That takes skill to be that stupid...
@@user-su2sh9ve7g From what I've been seeing lately, some of these guys are getting a lot of practice, maybe reading a bit too much from the Moron Manual. That dude must have been going about 30mph to do that kind of damage. I'm thinking (hoping?) that his boss will only have those 2 words for him, after a dumbass move like that he's got no business driving a big truck, get his ass off the road before he kills somebody.
What a dope he had to be flying to do all that damage wasn’t even looking in his mirrors obviously.
Look positive. The engineer who designed the pole outsmarted the truck driver.
He did, but it's a bad design with such stand alone poles. A good engineer would designed a bumper that you could NOT get stuck on
I wish I had Mark's agility. There isn't anywhere he won't climb or crawl!!
I thought, how in the heck did he get in between those two tires. Maybe he's a shape shifter.
@@jesstotorica2972 a good wreak??? What is a "wreak"?
I don't think there is enough smart in all that water to counter all the dumb in that driver. ;)
Lol
Wow.They put mirrors on trucks for a reason.Thank goodness no one was hurt.
I fought the pole and the pole won 🎶
Can't believe how much damage that truck driver did to his trailer !!
I'm surprised, too. I would have thought that the trailer would be more stout to carry up to 40,000 lbs of freight.
Using the hoist to lift the wheels up into the trailer is a back saver. Nice job guy's.
Nice little support tuck ya'all have. Got to love Marcus. He always busting ass on every Video. 2 Thumbs up give the man a raise
"It's not a smart day for smart water." Hahahaha
That driver needs to drink the whole load of smart water. It might help raise his I.Q. a point or 2. Lol.
Good video, and the post did its job of protecting the pumps.
Btw, I used to enjoy the driving to the site footage; I could often follow along on Google maps which added to the context of the actual incident itself.
I work for the "soup company" and the things I see truck drivers do!! 😂😂 Often I get called by security and asked to bring the payloader out and move concrete barriers back to where they belong! Sometimes it might be 3/4 of a mile through our lot;!
now that's what you call a BONEHEAD TRUCKER. LOL
Wonder if there is security footage of how that driver did that, I'm sure it would be 'interesting' footage. Good gob guys.
He had to have been flying to do that much damage
In case anyone is wondering if bollard posts work ...
Yes.
MIRRORS DRIVER MIRRORS!!! USE THEM!! THEY ARE THERE FOR A REASON!!
Why did u have to type this right after I sawzalled mine off lol jk
Unfortunately in this case they were mounted to high to hit the posts // end sarcastic font
That’s an expensive mistake. Why was he speeding through that nature gas lane?
Why would he drive through natural gas lane is the million dollar question. Stupidity at it’s finest.
Wonder if that guy will make Bonehead Truckers of the Week.
That’s a rough day right there, fell for that guy.
We all have bad days every now and then.
Holy cow, that's a big ooftah! Good job Mark and Trent!
spell ck "UFFDA" is correct Norske
Pepes towing would first ask if you had Insurance, and if you did they would of used, 3 wreckers, 2 forklifts, a landall, and 6 people to do that job.
Don't hate... They have the equipment and use it. No harm in making sure you get paid, either
I know Joe Acosta personally Pepes Towing I've been towing 32 years there a stand up company so what if they use 2 rotaters and a straight stick 3 trucks to do a roll over it's a safety thing uprighting loads can shift so it's good to have control and safety to the equipment and the operators I get sick and tired of people talkin crap that dont know nothing about towing just what they see in the videos and what other people do no 2 situation is the same
EXCELLENT Trent- That Mark is a gem- You & SR don't let him get away- I'm betting that driver isn't a driver anymore...at least with that company-
Keep 'em coming JR, thanks & please be safe!
Kudos to the pole installer.
This is what happens when you hire any idiot with a pulse and a CDL to drive a truck. Nice work Mr. Steering Wheel Holder.
It's marvelous the number of semi drivers who don't seem to know how to watch their mirrors. Stupidity
I never saw that before, I call that stupidity. keep the videos coming
Now what I want to know is if that truck runs on natgas, or if he was just buzzing thru there at 30 MPH to go around the back of the truck stop?
A good question and since his trailer was a refrigerator trailer wonder if the reffer runs on natural gas but believe he was going to fast and cut his turn to short
Another triumph for Team Trent & Mark :-)
Well that was interesting. Well done,both!
Nice job--always thinking outside thebox. From the corrosion and wear on the trailer under carriage--they got a full life out of that unit, pretty much.
But Mark and you really rolled this one- Congrats!
I've recovered a few trailers stuck like that. But never with with much damage
Good job driver.
@@mahbubmo ?
So did the tires get dented in this accident? Surely they could not go down the road like that!
He must of being speeding to cause that amount of damage. Good video plaza towing
Hopefully he just parked it and didn't drive away 10 min after you guys left. An excavator and roll-off dumpster is about the only way that's going down the road. Did CHP show up and write up a property damage accident report so it goes on his license?
Got yourself a good one there Trent and Mark! He pranged that a good one and at the worst place possible... at the pump! That turned out to be a lot more tricky than it looked! Thanks for sharing one of your more err..... "interesting" styles of recovery
How th hell do you manage that? They give a CDL to anyone.
I guess I’m not the only one that’s done that. I pulled a 53Ft trailer up on to one of those polls at the US Post Office facility in Tacoma, Washington. I ripped out my trailer brake lines and 10 cross members but stopped right before hitting the trailer tandems axle assembly. Luckily for me that was my last stop of the day with only 3 pallets to offload. Also I’m a diesel mechanic and I was able to cage out the trailer brakes and zip tie up the brake lines and back off the poll then use a hand pallet Jack to off load the 3 remaining pallets and drive back to Portland, Oregon my home base without being spotted by the Washington State highway Patrol. I Disconted my trailer airlines and drove back just using my tractor brakes. It was a 7,500.00 bill to repair the trailer. I hate those polls , they need to make them about 1 Ft higher so this stuff doesn’t happen. It’s so easy to pull a trailer up on them🤪🤪🤪🤪👍
Can we say driver MAYBE fired
Keep on rollin', 14 wheeler!
I bet that guy will be a little more careful next time he visits a gas station. Even in his car because he's lost his job driving trucks.
Nah swift will hire him now
Trent and Mark good job as always. I’d like to see a full walk around video on the contact truck
Good job guys
"Should be okay..." *trailer folds in half as it's being backed"
Surprises me you don't carry some brass caps or plugs to plug air lines and such... but I guess the need isn't that great...
I don’t think I could end up in this situation if I tried .
If it was me that driver would be unloading the trailer by hand....before trying to remove it
This driver would have done you a favor. By finishing the destruction of the trailer.
Because I cannot imagine that to much more would have been destroyed at the fuel island...
Well !!!! Stupid is as stupid does !!! That is a ""NATURAL GAS STATION "" & is a wonder that there wasn't a spark to set it off !!! Anyhows ,, Good going to get the issue resolved !!! ""KEEP IT SAFE ""!!!!
Jeebus! Water loads from Nestlé are no joke, 80k fosho when u leave Cabazon
I guess the trucking industry will hire anyone, glad I I left in 95.
If you're paying for smart water, it's not working.
They owe you chains from underneath
Dang how fast was truck going .like your viedos thanks
Kinda surprised this wasn’t swift!
I think I saw interstate
sticker under the hook up 4 the air lines & light hook ups. Interstate & swift 2
(great) companies.
HAHA. Notice how he didn't come in straight
did u see the yellow line?
t
@@markverloop8890 leased from interstate probally or bought it used from em
What was this driver thinking, geez Louise!
Wowwwwwwwwwwww.
Just wowwwwww.
Amazing how that could happen.
Those poles are known as bollards. I have installed them before. They are to protect something. When the title said Pole, I was expecting a telephone or electric pole.
What kind of pole is that?
Good job to the installers.
The poles should be flexible
@@markverloop8890 I wasn't referring to rubber poles but steel poles which would bend. Stiff poles always cause absolute damage. They could also have an audible signal for the driver who accidentally drives over them.
Had the pole been a little longer this probably would not have happened like this. Luckily those green cover make them look a foot taller.
The bollards are there to protect the pumps, not the vehicles driven by morons. They did their job beautifully.
I’ve installed these before. They are poured in cement 5 ft in the ground,and are filled solid as well. They are there for this exact reason. The truck could have torn the pumps off, and caused a huge explosion.
I can't believe the guy working under the trailer doesn't seem to afraid of the floor collapsing.
Water isn't exactly a light load.
the next star on bonehead truckers lol
With the boom at 8 degrees you can pack up and go.
He destroyed the bottom of that trailer!
Duh... You think 🤔
Josh I can't believe that this driver is so cool, If I was his boss he would be looking for a new job. You all be safe
When I walk into a truck stop the sign says welcome professional drivers this driver I don't think he's welcome
At the end there, the driver could have just kept backing up and pulling forward like he usually does to free the debris when he runs into stuff.
after 2.5 million miles OTR I retired no accid/tickets . Now I see that I'm glad I retired......even COVID scares me less than these new breed of drivers....SHHEEESH!!!!
The thumbnail does not do justice for the amount of damage on the trailer
How do you explain this to the fleet manager?
How long have you had your class "A" cdl- and great videos by the way!!!!!!
A lot of drivers don’t stop and look till they hit something .
He screwed that trailer up totally. There is no way of repairing that damage. If the Company he drives for keeps this driver employed, it will be a wonder. If he worked for me, he would be walking home, no matter how far he is from home! We had a driver for the company I used to work for, who took the 3 axle assembly and wrecked it by hitting a big rock at the truck stop because he was mad at something.
Can you do truck tours and how your equipment is set up??
Wonder how the airbags can fully inflate with the chain wrapped around the axle and frame.
Some people should not have CDLs.
Good job as usual
Spectacular Pickin' & Swingin' , Stay Safe & All The Be$t ☆☆¿
Nice work
Good ole steering wheel holder. Not sure how they get a license.
Let me get the driver was trained by swift. Lol🤦♂️🚛🤦♂️
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
My question is why did the driver have to give you his tools you had a service truck right by you, do you not carry tools on your truck
Because the tools would be left on the trailer.
Did they manage to transfer the load or was it scrapped along with the trailer?
Ugh! But that wheel will just buff out, and they can Bondo the area you to cut 🤪
I think I saw a tiktok where they were repairing those with ramen.
Good thing his truc takes natural gas imagine if he was at a busy ass station
Can't tell if he uses Natural Gas or if he just looking for 40 acres to turn his rig around ?
Was the trailer riding low, or was the post installed a bit too high? The top of the post was clearly designed as a breakaway; and an extra inch or two of clearance between the top of the fixed part and the trailer would've kept the post from ripping the frame apart like that. Axle would still have been wrecked, and depending on how it twisted loose might've still totaled the trailer, but without the destruction of the frame like that the trailer itself would be a lot less sketchy to move around.
Let's blame the pole ! No matter its height, you're still not supposed to hit them / drive over them. Pole Lives Matter !!
It is not a break away, it is there solid to protect the pumps.
What are the four cables stored under the rotators boom used for?
think i see 3000 bucks in wasted tires on the ground lol and also lucky he didnt take out that natural gas tank
How long in actual time taken in this big job?
That trailer is done for good.
For craning normally on craning operations a multi-part cable block is only for slowing the rate of winch; May not be the same for Recovery as-shown … some auto transmissions have a pump at the back but not reliable and fewer don't than do so we normally remove the drive-shaft unless we can tow from the back → Never get under any steel without jack-stands - I have never seen a hydraulic jack fail but I have seen one of the screw jacks on common trailers fail and it just drops too fast to escape *Safety is no accident* _Sometimes the only effective safety is the word_ *No!!!* or just don't get within range of being in that situation > This guy did not buy that expensive truck by violating what I said
First off why was that driver pulling into the natural gas island?! Can’t fix stupid all that room could’ve pulled in.
😃What a pretty 🎵👍
Don't Know Why Your Is Worried About The Load Since That Trailer Is No Longer Road Safe . . . Beside D O T Wouldn't Even Let Him Leave The Truck Stop And Put Others In Jeopardy . ...
Pretty freaking bad you have to take off tires to drop it to move it around .myself I been busily ran off the road by so called truckers and I have been driving trucks for 25 years have I made mistakes yeap. Butt so.e of the 1s I see 2day
Wow.
Was it Swift, CR England, or Western Express?
That pole is called a bollard
Wow!
I would think the driver is going to be looking for another job.
O my god wow 😮
