I have heard that at least one insurance company requires self locking hooks on rollbacks. Unfortunately the ones that run to their insurance company for every little thing is one reason why our insurance is so high
Dang this is so funny, I'm here listening to your video working as an auto Body Technician at a Gerber Collision shop, trying to get myself started in the towing business!! Great videos btw brother.
Those self closing hooks are ideal... plus, if you have an inexperienced driver or one that isn't detail oriented.... it's impossible for the hook to snag the end of the bed if they weren't careful to have the tip facing up. Sorry to hear your expensive start to the year.... you've finished your "3 strikes" jinx... 2 engines & a damage claim...that was 3... you're ready to get back to usual now :)
It’s always good idea to inspect equipment all the time winch cables are really good and last long time if you use them correctly always use v chains so you hook on both sizes so inch it’s always pulling in the center that will prevent to have the cable all mangled and pinch that will prevent damage on the cable, that was ent the case on this one I think self locking hooks are a must on any tow truck tho
I had so many break during Police Calls, and one while i was pulling up a 4Runner from Higgins Auto Body. Lucky with the 4Runner i had the hand brake on.
This Happened to me.....Ive been that driver .......BUT ONLY BECAUSE the guy who trained me trained me to 🚫🛑✋ never use j -hooks.....and i used that exact hook hes motioning

Thanks for the support
Only $4,300? Lucky. Better light a candle.
I know you have started the year out rough but it will get better. At least you know how too maneuver your way back to the top!!
Handled very well. Calm is key, which is what I've found. That and I agree that insurance should only be used for the major stuff.

Disgusting!! So sorry 😞
What happens if the wench line snaps. Because it happened to me a few times.
I'm glad it happened in the impound yard with a wrecks going to impact
This wasnt due to line failure. His bridle was not connected properly.

Lines break because the cable tensioner is not functioning properly causing kinks or unnecessary premature wear.
Brother that hurts!!!
Do your drivers pay any part of a claim?
Lodar is the best safety measure
