Nice trucks, I was a H D tow driver in 70's & 80's. When the HOLMES 750 & 850 were still the big wreckers, man they sure have improved !! Great Video. Thanks
The Historic Ships in Baltimore shown at the beginning of this video are worth touring. 1 ticket gives you access to all 5 vessels. Highly recommend checking out the submarine USS Torsk and the coast guard cutter to all the gear heads out there.
There was no such thing as to much free time in this video! Loved the comments roasting the broken wreckers. Time to lean=time to clean, oldie but a goodie! And she was completely caught of guard. 🤣🤣
Such an interesting place , I could spend Hours exploring . To bad you couldn't spend more time looking at each truck . Thank You for what you did show
I lived 30 miles south of Baltimore for 12 years, in Columbia, MD. From my experience, you are not wrong. However, rain can be even worse. For an area that gets lots of heavy thundershowers, that's not good. My craziest memory of driving in Maryland is driving home from work through a thunderstorm, with lightning strikes coming down on both sides of the road.
Ha! I chuckled when you mentioned Jamie Davis! I love the show. Watch it all the time. It's Canadian! So it's good to know that it reaches the U.S. as well. So I'm assuming that Heavy Rescue 401 does as well?
@@rd4660 and that's why companies like Collins bring people like.me to their booths. I'm the guy who's actually been using the product in the real world for the last year and a half, so who better to display it at the show
@@rd4660 you forgot 3 book bags full of books on are there products that you need a loan bigger then your house loan to get the said items . and banks want there money back in 4 too 6 years but at that time it's time to replace .. well on normal cars and trucks there half rusted away in that time or all the plastic is discolored or cracked ..
Great commentary, love the smartass humor .. wish you did a full walk around of all the rigs like that...lol... That Red Twin steer M100 ton, is coming home to Minnesota for a local company, It's not as "dressed up" as it will be, but it was just built & there wasn't time to finish it before getting it to the show out east. I'm anxious to see it in action in the future. I've been using those Collins Carrier Dollies for over a year, they work well. Very good quality. Looks like they needed to practice knowing how to set them up & how to explain the multiple uses lol. I have some ideas for them to make them better, but I wasn't at the show... lol... Thanks for taking us along... looking forward to more content. Stay Safe :)
didnt know a show existed for towing, while I dont tow anything right now, for many years in late 1980's to mid 1990's I drove many wreckers, rollbacks, tow trucks. still own 3 vintage booms, 1 probably from the 1920's it had option to hand crank, plus electric, which was missing when I got it. I was offered a mechanic job just over a week ago, and asked if I could drive tow truck, plus do state inspections, I havent said yes yet, still thinking, but my license for inspections expired in late 1990's, & I never been licensed to drive a wrecker, it wasnt needed when I drove, but now it is. my favorite work was crash recovery, using a split boom, that was old school, so you used 1 winch with 1 boom to hold truck, and second boom to pull vehicle, & if have a wheel lift, it was lifted by cable, & if used tow boom, we had to put blocks under car frame to avoid damage to plastic bumpers, & when I was told I had to go modern, I changed jobs, and never drove again, I still do not want to drive a rollback, other than rarely, I still dont care for wheel lift tow trucks, I love a manual operated wrecker with chain drive PTO. lol...
My fathers favorite quote “ if you have time to lean you have time to clean”. He owned a fine men’s clothing store, and I worked there until I left for college.
I hate that expression. You can bust ass for hours and then take 30 seconds for a breather. For those hours there is never a manager in sight, the minute you take “a lean” the manager or owner pops in.
Casey, Baltimore’s my old hometown! If you come back, let my show you around. My father-in-law help build the Convention Center! I live about and hour and a half away now in western Maryland. The running commentary was priceless. All that and a Rottweiler raising repo man! 🤣😂
That's awesome that you went to the Baltimore tow show as it's like 30 minutes up the road from me. Unfortunately I wasn't able to go this year but it would have been cool to meet you.
I had to watch a utube channel from the opposite side of the country to see an event that took place less than 10 miles from my house, that I didn't even know I was interested in! Well.... the good thing is that I didn't have to find a place to park.
So where you buying or just looking. I helped out at a London UK construction show once. The company I worked for had the only working bottom dump concrete mixer the manufacturer made, their demonstrator went sick so they asked my boss if he had a spare operator. I had an hours tuition took a train to London and spent a week demonstrating. But boy do people ask dumb questions on those stands, trouble is you have to answer them a 1000 times a day. It's easier just to mix concrete.
🤣🤣🤣 that guys face behind you when you said it's a giant whoopie cushion! 😆😆😂🤭🤭 *and if i didn't spell whoopie right then bite me grammar police! Imma bad spelter. 🤣😂
As a subscriber from the dc Baltimore area can’t help be be excited seeing footage that I know where it was shot at. I should have gotten stuck this weekend so I could have called you and those collins Dollies to get me out!
I really enjoyed this; you captured the feel of the show, and I enjoy your humor-but, dude! You came all the way to Baltimore and ate Cheesecake Factory?
Love the Jamie Davies comment 😅 I'm from British Columbia Canada and find that great! Also love this channel it may be my new favorite one, keep it going man!!
So your on the East Coast Now! Closer to my neck of the woods. How did you like the dog and pony show? You are do a demo and the blasted thing doesn't work as you had practiced. Lost Sale! Been there done that.
LOL only in America would they have a marching band inside of a convention building.... hahaaaa....... BTW they aren't broke down.. they are just giving the radiator fan blades time to cool down after the long drive there.. hahaaa..... I watch Jamie Davis videos.. also many of those tow trucks don't look like they have been used, they are all too clean..lol ~;0)
Sheesh -- this washed up on my feed just today - Been to that show many times. Just a few hours up the road. But that cheesecake factory has been a favorite for a long time - I lost interest after seeing kitchen staff drop something on the floor, put it straight back on the plate and deliver....I did kicked out for following them to the table....Haven't been to one of those since...
US$4K for Rottweiler pups!? Wow, I thought we paid through the nose for puppy dogs, but that is insane. The most you'd have to pay for Rottweiler puppies in NZ is NZ$2K. That's about one third of what your man was quoting. More to the point and back on topic, how much would those big rotators cost? I would not be surprised if a 100 ton rotator tow truck cost more than a million dollars!
And do you realize how long it would take you to make money back off an investment of that size?.... wow...and im not talking about the puppies lol even tho that's a bit steep as well lol
AAA is a joke, sat in my car for 8 hours waiting on a tow. Finally told the AAA agent we were taking a Lyft home and she said they'd keep working on getting it towed. It took them over 48 hours to finally get a driver out to tow it the ten miles to my house. Tow guys would rather do non AAA tows because they pay more than AAA's standardized rate so tow drivers will pass on the tow if any other call comes in.
No idea. I flew in Friday night, made that one walk through a portion of the harbor Saturday morning, was at the show all day, then flow out early Sunday morning. I didn't check out any of the city other than the little bit that you saw
@@CaseyLaDelle Maryland is a beautiful place to live I’m originally from the Midwest so I know how the weather is there and how bad winters can get but hey at least you enjoyed some of it here I’d say maybe take some time off of work and you and your family can come take a trip here And how was the cheesecake factory it’s really good
Aww Casey you dropped the ball on this one there were some pretty trucks there, actually wish this vid would have been longer, and you would have gone over some of the trucks more indepth.
Nice trucks,

You have a back up career path as a stand up comic, funny stuff! Thanks for video!
Right he cracks jokes constantly lmao and they are pretty good ones too 😁🤷♂️🤣
Thanks Casey, a nice entertaining way to start the day.
Such an interesting place , I could spend Hours exploring . To bad you couldn't spend more time looking at each truck . Thank You for what you did show
The irony of having a towing convention in a state that doesn't have anyone capable of driving in any snowy conditions.
What do you mean? Baltimore gets snow every winter.
I lived 30 miles south of Baltimore for 12 years, in Columbia, MD. From my experience, you are not wrong. However, rain can be even worse. For an area that gets lots of heavy thundershowers, that's not good.

Looks like going to the SEMA show in Vegas
Ha! I chuckled when you mentioned Jamie Davis! I love the show. Watch it all the time. It's Canadian! So it's good to know that it reaches the U.S. as well. So I'm assuming that Heavy Rescue 401 does as well?
I'm from Florida and love that show
Love both!
The US? Mate it reaches Australia!
@@marvindebot3264 That's awesome !! Are you talking through regular media television channels?
@@tamo9520 Yes mate, it's on free-to-air TV here, Seven Network. It has been from Season 1.
I’ve been to too many trade shows, but none that seem as cool as that one.

@@randytravis3998 lol, sounds like you're in the wrong business!
Very amusing . . . the dog guy is going to go far. Cheers.
I seriously laughed at all your comments on the broken trucks, tire changing kids and bent roll back 😂😂😂
this commentary is golden over and over again.
dam brother you made it out of baltimore alive with all your gear ????? WINNING !!!!!
My home state, Casey. Don't go out in B'more after dark. They should have taken you to the Rusty Scupper.
4:43 Now that is what I call hustle. This guy is going to make it big. I wish him HUGE success.
I wish I could buy a set. I called collins and they said they are not for sale yet. Also NO info on the website!!!!

Is that a Collins bothers truck?
@@dhgdarkness3744 yes
Thanks Casey, I could walk around all day looking at all those "Taters" in that show. That 100 ton job looks like a beast.
Had no idea Miller had 100t now. Last I knew the big boy was 80t. Pretty freaking cool. The harbor footage was 👍🏻.
Yep, Miller has the M100 now and The NRC HIM which was previously 80 tons is now 85 tons
i walked right past it and didnt even realize i was looking at it.
Now that was fun thanks 👍👍👍👍👍
You missed our booth! Next time come and say hi to me at HAAS Alert.

in the 70's and before towing was'nt an enjoyable experience tow operators were required to remove bodys from wrecks
That one with the boom out the front: That is for towing himself.

Enjoyed the humour. All those broken down trucks were American.
Lots of really cool HUGE tow trucks! Just the paint on one of those is more than I could afford!! LOL!!
Thanks for " Taking us along for the ride". .....Am I on the wrong channel? I enjoyed the video
that was funny! I love your sense of humor
I got quite a few chuckles from this. thank you
Not that we don't love your red T- shirts Casey but !!! Time for a new color.
A serious explanation off some off that equipment would have been great don't see that in Australia next time please slow down
JOHN BOY GOES TO THE CITY!
Always nice when you see your friends trucks on video haha
Casey, Baltimore’s my old hometown! If you come back, let my show you around. My father-in-law help build the Convention Center! I live about and hour and a half away now in western Maryland. The running commentary was priceless. All that and a Rottweiler raising repo man! 🤣😂
You need to check out Santiam Wreckers made here in Oregon ,not far from my current area I live.
God bless you and your family and crews for all that you all do of savings life
OMGOSH! Jamie Davis! I am going to have to look up and see if there are any new episodes.
Collins needs to set you up with ski dollies for dragging cars down from the snow when they won’t drive
Ski dollies 🤔
And I always thought my brother was the biggest smart ass I knew until i watched your video.
That's awesome that you went to the Baltimore tow show as it's like 30 minutes up the road from me. Unfortunately I wasn't able to go this year but it would have been cool to meet you.

Welcome to Maryland. I have a few friends that may have gone to the tow show who tow.
looks like a lot of fun, Thought you be picking up your new rig there.......haha I would say not really for the deep woods like you do...
Casey you drove all that way for the tow truck convention
Another great Video,Redmond Airport has grown,looked like a great show in Baltimore
great tour, thanks
Loads of cool gadgets 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Repo and puppies? Amazing combo
Well I’m surprised to see where I was born on this channel.. there’s a lot of cool stuff and places to see there in that area..
🤣🤣🤣 that guys face behind you when you said it's a giant whoopie cushion! 😆😆😂🤭🤭
*and if i didn't spell whoopie right then bite me grammar police! Imma bad spelter. 🤣😂
A lot of beautiful big boy toys and junkyard dogs.
7:29 is that Rory from Trail Mater, new tow truck?
I absolutely love the jokes and funny comedy
Excellent video
As a subscriber from the dc Baltimore area can’t help be be excited seeing footage that I know where it was shot at. I should have gotten stuck this weekend so I could have called you and those collins Dollies to get me out!
I would love to go to a tow show. Hay you can make alot of money at that show withe the breakdowns lol.
Lots of swingers at that show
What are those tiny wheels that are by the boom of the wreckers for?
I really enjoyed this; you captured the feel of the show, and I enjoy your humor-but, dude! You came all the way to Baltimore and ate Cheesecake Factory?

Lost what sale??
@@CaseyLaDelle Your friends were trying to demonstrate the short dolly system. I was in sales for 29+ years. I was just kidding about a lost sale.
Good video and only 1 problem, the band might want to practice before next Convention, setting and waiting on some more videos.
LOL only in America would they have a marching band inside of a convention building.... hahaaaa....... BTW they aren't broke down.. they are just giving the radiator fan blades time to cool down after the long drive there.. hahaaa.....

You clearly had way to much fun

Every impound yard needs a couple of puppies! lol
Damn, you went? I was all set to go, but I had things come up.
Just been to the uk tow show was interesting
Great comment for Jamie Davis!!!🇨🇦
First ten seconds I was thinking, "Geez, that carpet has worn in a weird way..."
Did you get the old chev wrecker or did you order a new for say a old inter red cabover or a peterbilt cabover 😉😄
I watched your ostomy and flying video before this one. I was wondering why you were all the across the USA in Baltimore. Now I understand.
So much hardware so little cash.
My daughter broke down late at night on Interstate 68 in the MD panhandle. AAA nor I could not find an operator to tow her. It was awful.
AAA is a joke, sat in my car for 8 hours waiting on a tow. Finally told the AAA agent we were taking a Lyft home and she said they'd keep working on getting it towed.

Them there truck were shinny!
Great video as allows
Did you some warning lights for your trucks?
Nice rigs
No way those guys have sold a single one of those dollies.
Right plus they were poor poor poor salesmen lol
@@paulriversred738 yea that’s what I was getting at. If they sold any, it certainly wasn’t due to their salesmanship.
Walked around Baltimore for 15 minutes? I’m surprised you didn’t hear gunshots !
Awesome video Casey!
You would make a marvelous comedian
Great intro music!
Commentary is halarious. Next years show they might get all working Riggs
How many people asked where Bend Oregon was?
Zero
@@CaseyLaDelle Even up here in washington,a couple of people dont know bout Bend,Like the Videos with the Round abouts
Hey Casey how is Baltimore I don’t live to far from from Baltimore Maryland hopefully you like the scenery here. These jokes really to funny 😂

Good video
I think you missed a big opportunity. Going through different booths would of brought you more views. We’re all interested in that kind of stuff.
There's plenty of videos exactly like that. I'd just be another person doing the exact same thing as everyone else
@@CaseyLaDelle in a towing expo? I haven’t seen one yet. Those people also get tons of views too. Work smarter, not harder.
10000 comedians out of a job and this guy wants to be one.
At least we know what the floor looks like
Sucks I couldn’t make it.
I kept an eye out for you!
Damn man I literally only live 45 minutes away from the convention center I was going to go Saturday but decided not to wish I would have now
Aww Casey you dropped the ball on this one there were some pretty trucks there, actually wish this vid would have been longer, and you would have gone over some of the trucks more indepth.
A TRUE COMEDIAN
