Q.What camera do you use?
A. I use the Go Pro Hero 6 Black Edition
Bringing this one to you guys early ! Thanks guys!
Plaza Towing why do you sperate the shaft?
Plaza Towing Even if people don’t when will they still be more giveaways
Helpful tip on those lines from dropping . use some xtra long heavy duty zip ties. Some local towers do that here !!
@@justanotheraviator2357 a towing guy told me once that they separate the drive shaft because your truck is off. So there's no coolant circulating through your transmission which can overheat it and destroy it. So they remove it so there's no movement in your transmission.
u are good guy and driver lol, thanks
I respect how organized you are man. Everything is where its supposed to be.
my thought exactly
Exactly. And I wouldn't expect less, since this thing could cause huge issues if something bad happened on the highway. It's basically his responsibility to do everything top-notch.
5s
That´s how work is done efficiently. You´d need to be able to grab into that tool box and have picked the right tool without even looking where your hands go.
Also when there´s lives on the line, you just don´t make a mistake. Not like "you better not make a mistake", you just don´t make a mistake, period.
Except for he didn't put the caps On the U joint
Into the yard he goes, he's not going to back up. No, he's not going to back up.
*OH MY GOD , HE'S BACKING UP* 😳
My hat is off to you sir.
Great Video and Great Driving Skills.
Thanks for sharing. 👍
Wish you would have shown the drive, I wanted to hear your acceleration/engine pulling that much weight.
Me too!!! Was disappointed. Shows him removing lights and attaching lights, more than the driving lol. Wanted to see the pull and turbos whistling
I'm not to sure how hard it's gonna need to pull on flat & level ground bro...he can't haul that all together he can haul it to a safe pull off where he can break it down ..
I was looking forward to the fontana drive.....Damn!! I didn't get to see the big haul in real time....it was a claude vertesi song playing and you were hauling ass!! Reupload the big haul in normal speed! Cool shit though bro!
Also agree
ME TOO!!!!
Dont have any clue why this came up in my recommendations...I only use utube for cooking ......and once to install a screen door....but wow I had know idea the effort it takes to tow one of these...you sir have earned yourself a like
Nice trucking backing that load in the yard.
yeah thats the hardest part noone seems to realize. You essentially are maneuvering a small train down the road.. And to back that shit up in a tight yard?? thats some skill that 95% of the population couldn't do. I drive truck and wouldn't want to do that.
@@derekbest9703 yeah that was impressive to see :) i've driven B-links before, and i hate backing them up....
greetings from finland.
Exactly,, backing truck-trailer alone is a task!.
W Tow, is major league bal!
I’m a heavy equipment operator out of San Diego, I’ve always loved seeing the massive wreckers, so stoked I found your videos. Awesome stuff!
That guy has some awesomely mad skills. You don't learn this stuff in a short time. Great job.
Ive done this exact tow before. Different trailer but still a triple axle. Pulled into a fuel island at the local truckstop to fuel up the wrecker. Got some wide eyed looks that day. Love driving a wrecker! We chain the axle a bit differently though but everything else was pretty similar. Guess we all sort of do it the same. Stay safe out there and hello from CO.
I did this for 15 plus years. Makes my knees hurt just watching you. Nice truck. Everything has it's place.
The fact you backed that in like an expert is very impressive. Mose truck drivers have trouble backing them in, which means even more kudos to you
Never drove a wrecker but did drive a KW for years but cannot anymore because of a wreck but watching your videos helps bring back the good ole days. Keep up the good work!
Remarkable watching you reverse that trailer into the yard, 10/10
I’m always amazed at the pure power of tractor trucks and hydraulics awesome channel
Awesome video! Very organized, everything where it belongs so you know where to get what you need. If I may suggest two things, The hammer on the U-joints probably isn't the best and the caps on the joint should be taped up so you won't lose a cap. Otherwise, you're awesome man! Keep up the good work and keep posting your vids.
You bring back memories when I used to tow,thank goodness you do it the right way,seen to many hack towers in my day.
You had your camera in a perfect position driving to the tow job , great show brother the best to you and yours , be looking for your next video ... Be Safe out there'
I might be a little lost on youtube right now, but this was one of the most interesting videos I've seen. Enjoyed watching the process of hooking up a semi for towing.
this is why the checkbook takes a bit hit when one of these has to show up
You gotta be the nicest tow truck driver I’ve ever seen. And very good at what you do!
Man that looked awesome from the roof. It looks like driving a over dimensional double trialer. 105k granite block. that was the heaviest load I carried not including theTruck and trailer. I was about 148k all together. Boy did that take forever to stop. Did you notice the huge difference in push compared to a 80,000 lbs truck. :) love your videos. Always see something new.
Chevy owner: yea, my brand new 1500 can tow 11,000
This guy: hold my beer
I have a friend that was trying to tell me the the state of Utah rated his single axel, 05, 3500 for,.............wait for it,.........50,000 GCVWR! Your comment just made me think of that! 😂 Some guys just have that bravado. I love him though!
I've been watching Ron Pratt for a while and just found you. It's fun to see the different approaches you take and the things you think about. Definitely earned a sub!
Man it's a lot of work to do when hooking up to a semi to tow good thing that you are experienced in what you do
Great video as always. Please stay cool. I work for the railroad and my all time tonnage in 20 years was 29,700 tons or 59,400,000 LBS
Sounds like a unit coal train out West with a DPU.
It must be real flat wherever you where with that train! No way we could get anything close to that in Alabama
Must be some of that new core math... Hahaha almost 60 million pounds... From 29,700 tons
Jim Alner Yeah, that’s correct.
Jim Alner don’t know what kinda math you’ve been doing but he’s correct. A ton is 2000 lbs so 2000 times 29700 is 59,400,000
First Ron Pratt puts out new video and now you! What a great day!
They are both great videos to watch
You have a tough job, rain, snow and sun, you guy's are out there, your very good at what you do, I have had recovery come out and get me and they did not look like they knew what they where doing, plus I like how you keep your rig and equipment organized, unfortunately not all recovery outfit's are as squared away as you are, keep up the good work,
I love how you talk to us as you work!
Those reversing skills! Thats another level that not many can accomplish
Great video is there anyway to show long turns at regular speed film to show how you have to manuver the truck and trailer with a long load like that around unpatient traffic
I could binge watch these videos all day
Very impressive work and tow. Most impressive to me was your ability to backup that massive train in your yard!
Finely someone who does a real life tow truck videos
You have a lot of experience and knowledge at towing!
A lot of professional guys like you go and buy the snap on impacts but I like how you still have the Milwaukee. They are more powerful and well you gotta love Milwaukee.
You are the best! I really enjoy your videos and I appreciate the way you explain things. I don't even own a car, but I find your videos very informative to watch. Thank you!
Dude you do some awesome driving and backing
I'm thinking about getting my trucking licence. I'm 25 years old. I been Working In construction / lawn maintenance my whole life. And I want to do this kinda work. Just found your channel. This is very interesting! Thanks!
That was awsome thanks for taking us along (John in Milo, Maine)
Dude! Backing that thing like a total BOSS.
Brilliant and fantastic video really injoyed watching it brilliant parking in your yard
I like your tow truck. Very well organized
Loved the way you backed into the yard !
Great video. I'm just starting out and looking for quick swap now. Thank you for sharing.
Pretty cool to see you guys operate after seeing you around so much when I used to live in hemet 🤘
I just found this video random and it's nice to see how it's done!!
Ok 10 years driving here with OTR and Local but no towing so im gonna arm chair this a bit. Great professional and personable attitude with the driver. Great questions and getting him involved its his truck and his decisions on some things. Very good attention to detail and going slow and taking your time to make sure things are done correctly. Now for some ideas.
(1) Dont hook up airhose at front till your done. I thought you were going to strangle yourself at least 4 times jumping back and forth across the hitch trying to get the chains on. Id save that till last if it was me.
(2) Might consider starting from back to front. SO first thing is get the lights out and throw it on the trailer since that is your longest trip. It was blazing hot outside so do the long leg work while your not sweating.
(3) Always bring hammer when trying to get driveshaft apart. Even if you don't use it you saved yourself another trip you didnt need.
(4) I would inform the driver there is this nice tool called a 5th wheel puller. Heck you can even get them with leverage built in. Saves smashed knuckles and grease all over yourself as well :)
Again great job just some ideas to make it easier on ya and have a great day.
Everything you did was perfect. I was amazed at how you knew what to do and where to put everything. You did not make any mistakes and you are so organized. Props to you mane keep up the good work!!!
I glad that truck is off the side of the road because I hear cars going by fast. It look hot were you are 🌞🌞🌞
I like to cross my safety chains in an X pattern, on top of the under reach i.e. right side of my truck to the left side of the towed unit, that way they will never bind. Nice truck, stay safe out there.
I don’t see anything wrong with that other than scratching the heck out of the underlift. Great comment though thanks for watching!
Nice job backing at the yard.
I’m Mexican and I like the work that you do 👍 I like when you say 1-2-3-4 lol
This is impressive. I never knew there was so much to do to tow a tractor trailer
Amazing work! You guys that do this kind of work are awesome. Thanks
I've balanced on one foot many times taking coveralls off, but worried if you lost your balance you could pogo out into the roadway. Very nice work.
The sweat dripping off of you. Damn. And great trucking too. Simply beautiful.
I just have 3 questions. 1. Why did you disconnect the drive-Tran?
2. I would love to know the amount?
3. Who pays the tow fee?
Great video very interesting
He disconnected the drive-shaft. If he didn’t, the powered set of duals wouldn’t spin freely. They would just kinda drag
Bro, when I seen you back up the tractor and trailer. That's one of the hardest things to do. Much respect to you sir.
Do y'all have to put the driveshaft back in?
Do y'all use those ratchet straps for the under reach?
This is so interesting to me. I love the channel! I have a question though. Why do you disconnect the drive shaft? The truck is in neutral right? And why do you have to disconnect it if regular tow trucks don’t have to do that while towing cars and pickups? Thanks.
Nico Lucia the reason he has to disconnect the drive is to prevent transmission damage I drive box trucks and had to be towed a few times from breakdowns and the driver of the wrecker had to pull the drive shaft to prevent transmission damage with normal cars and trucks they tow the rear wheel drive vehicles on a flat bed and the smaller wrecker (wheel lift units) can only pull the front wheel drive cars if they have to tow the rear wheel drive on a wheel lift wrecker then they tow it with the rear wheels on the wheel lift but they cannot lift a big truck by the back wheels so they have to pull the drive shaft off to prevent transmission damage
nice video for a laye person to watch ! this is what tow operators do !
Really nice & clear DMR radio. I have a couple used for amateur radio so i could tell by the chirp when you keyed the mic. 👍
This man is a legend reversing a row truck with a semi and a trailer attched
how price when u towing average...ur profesional crazy job....i like it....from indonesia
25:45. Story of my life.. “Long, wide, and overweight.”
Perfectionz lmao
he will if you will
Holy fuck that was an impressive tow. I had no idea you could tow oversized loads all in one go.
yah buddy you got a nice setup! I love it when you need something and you can put hands on it right away! you must have some nuts to get under it while cars are flying by! but stay safe out there buddy!
Hay guys, love the videos. Keep it up. It's a serious business you're in. I'm impressed with the safety and attention to detail aspect especially.
13:20 might as well put some covers on
Instantly drops it in the dust
that made me laugh
But. when you connected that blue air hose. Does your truck actually got an auxiliary bigger air compressor ? Almost finished my trucking license and i never knew they had a fitting on the engine to put the air in the brakes and suspension externally
When you tow something like this, can his pulled permit for height or wide load be applied to your tow? Understand that you would now be way over weight allowance if he had pulled one for weight, but can you run under his height/width? Would you be exempt from his routing requirements? Good video and congrats on your new weight towed!!
No man wtf question is thaf
it was pretty self explanatory. to put it simply, can you use that drivers permit on his tow. thats the easy to understand part of it. the rest is in details lol
Great job and, as always, well done.
Fisrt time i seen someone back up with two turning joints. That's a pro.
iirc there was only the one at the trailer. it was solid at truck front
Love the video, informative and well done, but....if I could offer you one word of advice when disconnecting the axel, do not lie directly underneath the axle as you are hammering and prying on it. That 'one' strap you are using to hold it could let go or snap and you don't want to be the one 'cushioning' it's fall. Thanks for the video.
I’m a truck driver but damn that’s a lot of work lol
Someone's getting a brand new Komatsu...!!!!
That was impressive backing. I'm not in trucking or anything so forgive me if it's a stupid question but why disconnect the driveshaft if its in neutral?
Crazy that the rear axle wasn't a drive axle. So do you tape or do anything for the bearing caps on the driveshaft after you pull it? What part of Montana did you have to take it to? I lived in Bozeman for a few years and loved it, miss it too
Maybe I'm looking to far into it but what keeps the Truck from just sliding left and right in the Yellow Cradle seen at 24:28? Just the fact that the Yellow Cradle is between the Leaf Spring Bolts? Just seems like it could slide left and right about 3 to 4 inches...
I used to run Michigan specials at 161,000 lbs. 8 axle trailers and crushed cars. That was fun...
That's a baby load. I did oversize/heavy haul for over 20 years. Average load 300k+/-, biggest load, just under 500k 28 feet wide. You have to know your business, the stress on equipment is tremendous, easy to drop a clutch or an entire trans without a blink of an eye. Good job on your first time of a load that size. Attention to detail and the small stuff is your biggest tool for success.
Totally fascinating definitely show some drive time next time it would be so cool to hear your thoughts on that much weight
Just a question (some states are different): Did d.o.t. reissue a permit and route, or do you supersede that in your state? Your tow vehicle changes the dimension, weight, and axle spacing for the new total load. Most loads/permit applications go through a bridge analysis for overweight routing (Some have "annuals" but require carried bridge maps which the driver keeps on hand.)
Just Curious
Great Video!
That's my question to
Generally there is an overarching recovery vehicle permit that covers you to go wherever the original vehicle was permitted to go within reason and if safe.
My question too. So the rig has been permitted. Assuming that the front axle is 20k or less, I reason that the tow vehicle takes that weight and spreads it even further from the drive axle(s) and distributes that weight over tandem axles with dualies. Wouldn't that improve on a bridge analysis review? Therefore, I recon that a skilled operator like the lad we see in this video should be able to drive the rig to any destination covered by the initial permit/route regulations. I'm likely missing an important consideration. Cheers.
Better than an episode of Highway through Hell! :)
Yea, It's better than those type of shows because it's the same thing without all the BS drama commentary and over reacting to make more exciting for TV. I'll take videos like Plaza Towing and Ron Pratt on TH-cam over the TV shows any day.
Just like backing a B-train, well done and nice video. Subscribed
No omission even without a checklist . bravo .
biggest thing I ever drove was a tank transporter and an M1-A1 tank in desert storm.
great job Trent keep up the great work and don't work to hard and have a nice day or night
Friggin towing! Didnt knew I was interested in this until now!
Maybe a stupid question, but why do you remove/disconnect the driveshaft?
Great work! Surprised you dont use binders on the chains incase the load shifts left or right. You havent had a problem unhooking the chains from the method you wrap them if the load does move?
This is the coolest job ever!!!!!!
amazing how you managed you time not a single second wasted amazing
Quick question if the truck was in neutral then why did you take the drive shaft off?
I didn't think I was gonna enjoy this video as much as I did...now I can't wait till tomorrow to drive around pulling my 9000 lbs trailer lol.
it is indeed disk brake. Havent worked on them too much, but Pete seems to be pushing to sell them on their newer trucks. also, something to maybe try with the air hoses, tie a closed loop rope into a prusik around the hose and attach a decent sized carabiner to the loop. then you can set as much slack as you want and it shouldn't move on you. Just an idea though
what i was thinking on the air hose.
I was impressed with backing that combo up. Well done sir. I am wondering though why you didn't take another truck to swap out with the broken one to get the trailer to the shop. I'm sure there was a tractor at that shop that could have been used. But I don't run a hook, you are the pro with it.
Here in Finland, the maximum weight of 9 axle trucks without special permission is 76000kg (167550lbs).
Allowed weight varies by type of road and condition. He was also fat and tall.
Dude, backing that shit up is like pushing a rope! And you did it like a boss! Sub earned...
When you live in the other side of the country in GA and see mudflaps from a local truck sales place on a truck in Cali 👍🏻
trucks are whores. they sure get around a lot...
@Plaza Towing new sub...I knew I was going to like the vid once I seen peterbilt ...I grew up around trucks..family business !!!... keep doing whatcha doin brotha!! #great job
great job. very professional. curious what did it cost? (ball park).
Holy freaking crap backing up the truck AND the trailer like a lorry double or backing up like youre outside of the kenworth.. while inside a truckk... mannnnnnnn
