Loaded propane truck rolls over!

- This is part two of the stranded propane truck. After I turned down the job the first time, the propane company reached out to my buddy Troy and asked him to bring his 6x6 up and pull the truck back onto the road. Troy then asked if I’d like to come along and film to which I obviously said yes! So we headed back up and Troy successfully got the truck pulled back onto the road, then then turned around to head down the mountain. We all asked multiple times if the propane company wanted one of us to drive the truck down and they kept refusing and said they would do it themselves. Unfortunately the truck slid off the road and rolled into the canyon, but luckily the driver was fine. Unfortunately a big storm came in the next day that prevented us from going back up, and but the time it cleared, I had to be in Las Vegas for the CES Convention. So I missed out on the final recovery, but luckily Troy filmed it!
Make sure you watch part one here!

I’m glad you trusted your instincts and turned the job down. The bull thrown out by the propane company was a massive red flag by itself.
I think a lot of people were thinking the same thing.
...a lesson learned I hope?
Next time someone outside of the rescue team(s) wanting to get behind the wheel but the answer to em, you cant allow it because of any liability and company rules.
@@McBuggs. I feel for the driver - he's the only one on the scene allowed to drive the propane, and he's not at all competent or trained in driving the terrain. It's nasty, 'cause the propane company is probably looking at very similar liability and rules requirements as Troy and Casey.
@@wiresmith2398 - For sure, it's an awkward situation for both sides. A better driver from the propane company should have returned on site for the recovery part. But the damage is done and hopefully good experienced drivers will do deliveries next time there and not in bad wintry conditions.
@@McBuggs.probably the same for them tho with their insurance .
The propane company driver was the wildcard in this. The way that truck was allowed to slide on the initial recovery was bonkers imo
I think he or they parted ways ...
They should of left the boulder underneath to slow the driver down 🤣🤣
Do you have CDL with experience driving in winter conditions? I'm curious.
He seemed very unprepared to drive in those conditions. Very strange decision to drive a huge truck up a mountain.
@@simpledj509chromo7doesnt matter
I drove a propane bobtail for the same company for 10 years in WA. delivering to similar radio towers and seismic monitoring stations on or near Mt St Helens up to elevations of 4400'. I would never have considered driving in those conditions and aborted or refused deliveries on a few occasions.
This delivery was ordered September 1st. The propane company waited until December..
@@CaseyLaDelle Sounds like the order(s) were set aside and buried and forgotten about . . . until someone cleared off the pile of paper and found it at the bottom.
Time for the propane co to get a 6x6?
@George I just meant, that 6x6 rollback made it look a little easier. That propane truck needed more than one powered axle. Glad driver made it out ok
@@tcmits3699 save a buck here to spend a ton when saving a buck goes awry. they probably do have 4x4s but i bet they're very few/booked solid.
As a lawyer I was very happy to see you've got video evidence of all you've done. Because the propane company could easily have said you haven't completed the salvage, so you're not getting paid.
The moment however, their driver accepted delivery of one salvaged propane truck (as per video evidence), you were off the hook.
Oh trust me, I got WAY more than that on video! I usually film a lot of stuff purely for the liability side that is never intended or shown on TH-cam. I have direct conversations with the driver and his supervisor on video saying plenty to get us off the hook for anything
@@CaseyLaDelle - once bitten, twice shy; evidently.
What a world we live in where you must constantly CYA when all you want to do is an honest day's work. And here I thought it's only us lawyers who live like that.
Blimey.
I disagree with this 100%. What kinda lawyer are you? I have very good attorneys and let just say the moment you ALLOWED the driver to continue driving during a RECOVERY that you were responsible for made you the rescue company liable for his actions. No sir, I would have said get out of the truck or I’m going home. I think the world has lost the understanding of responsible party. I would have sued all of you and I would have won for sure. People also need to be very, very careful what they put on youtube. This video plainly shows negligence and neglect of the poor propane truck driver during the recovery. I would have owned your rescue company before this was over. Unreal.
@@JNHEscapes
Okay Perry Mason, settle down. Guess you missed the part where he said he had on video of the driver's supervisor telling him their driver would drive it down. I would think that would release him from all liability, wouldn't you?
BTW, I have a very good plumber but that doesn't make me an expert plumber.
That was more than worth the price of admission. I am an engineer and have always been impressed with our fitters' ability to rig machinery for lifting. Rigging for recovery is an order of magnitude more difficult and dangerous. Excellent work.
How did you post this comment 11 days ago when this video was uploaded 1 hour ago? 🤔🤔

Those were very wise and clearly prophetic words, "It might live over there or over there for the rest of the winter, but not over here!"!
If a company wouldn't listen to experienced locals let them pay the price with ignorance great video lads
I wouldn't go in there if i where you.
Call me crazy, but if I needed LP gas on top of a mountain, I would first determine how much I could possibly need in a year. Second, buy a tank big enough for a years supply and third, have the tank FILLED a month before the first expected snowfall.
But what fun would that be? 😄
That’s not crazy at all. That’s perfectly sensible, and is why that’s the exact situation here. The order to fill the tank is placed by the state in September 1st every year when the roads are drive gravel. Then the tank easily lasts them all year. That happened again this year, then at the end of September when no delivery had happened, the state upgraded it to an emergency order, and the propane company still didn’t do it. Then in early December once plenty of snow had already fallen, the propane company decided to send a truck up.
@@CaseyLaDelle now I start questioning how much further was this radio tower since in the end prophane still wasn't delivered
@@AlienX511 about a mile
@@CaseyLaDelle I would say piss poor management needs to take ALL the credit for this debacle then.
@@CaseyLaDelle We clearly know who is responsible for this mess, but I am sure they will try to blame someone else.
This is why when I was doing wilderness recoveries I never let the customer drive!! I had an experienced off roader that knew how to wheel and follow directions. And a month ago I sold all my recovery equipment to him and his son.. they are doing very well with it
I suspect the issue here is that it's not just a truck, but a truck full of propane. Management may not have wanted someone else to drive it for liability reasons.
Well, then they should have some drivers that are from the company AND have off-road and recovery experience.
I think this was a difficult job to begin with, but the driver was not up to the task. There were multiple times when he was doing the opposite of what was needed.
@@SuND4a1and doing it faster or harder than it should be. One thing I've learned from living in NY snow belt is that on snow you want the minimum energy involved at all times. They were doing wheeler speed down that road with a non-wheeler in a heavy truck. Then gunning it when sliding is just gonna make you slide faster because it breaks what little traction you could get .
They trusted you on the tractor? They must of missed your video at home 😁🤣
Great comment! I'm chuckling!
😁 he has trouble on flat ground.
Gf
WOW! Casey, that was a heck of a recovery. Kudos to the whole group!
GLAD NO ONE HURT!
I think from the first couple times the guy almost hitting the tow truck I might of said Nope you done But we all know some companies and people think they know better.
Casey You were having too much FUN in the tractor😄
Be Safe!
Keep Your Head Up! 👍
I could just see everyone's insurance companies watching this going 'noo no' and 'thank god that isn't ours'. When that truck went over every insurance company except one took a big sigh of relief that their client wasn't driving it.
In the fourth episode: Andrew Camarata happened to be passing by on a snowmobile and helped us repair a damaged door on a propane truck with hammer and brute force.
He made the following comment "looks like new" and went on.
Well in fact he visited Montana because at his place there was no snow so who knows maybe he visited Oregon as well since there's quite a snow as well
Lol. 😂 Time to get to work!
Andrew and his skidder
Post 10 made a survival fort and lived under/inside that propane bullet for 3 days. Cooked a 5 star meal, slept with spider friends.
Drain Addict Ollie brought his jetter to clean out the latrines in the woods for the guys
And all the squirrels in the area were extremely Happy to find your trail mix the following day!!
Holy cow Casey, I watched the 3 videos and it beggers belief how it all finished in the end. You and your buddies made a great team. Well done! But on the other hand, that propane company has a lot to answer for.
I am in total awe ! I watched all 3 parts, and was totally blown away by the skill of everyone involved with the recovery. You can officially start saying that you are "good at this" !
Where is this 3rd part you speak of
@@my89scottsdale67 in the discrpion Casey put a link that says "watch Troys video here "
That driver of that bottle doesnt know how to drive
The Gas Co. driver seemed to be less than up to snuff as it were. I thought for sure he was gonna slam into Troy's rig. He was moving way to fast, it seemed to me, then hitting the brakes. Trying not to cast shade, I wasn't there and while I understand the whole, 'Company truck, company man so I'll do the driving' thing, I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and guess he wishes he had let one of you drive it out. That was a nice little 'Green Machine' Casey. Don't be making little Blue jealous now. 👍
He did hit the rollback once.
Horrible driver, the propane company probably wanted their driver behind the wheel and that’s what they got. In stead of professionals.
@@Grasshopper.80 He was probably more used to the flatland warmer weather and that dry snow is SO slippery . . .
@@sharonmiller6436 having worked for propane company’s I think that was probably one of the bosses or managers, should have just let the guys who know what their doing do it!
@@AdamWellman Turns out he was a new hire who'd been with the company for 2-3 weeks and hadn't yet finished the driver's instruction courses. Casey mentioned it further down.
Wow, just wow. Casey, you're pretty good at making friends - time to make friends with someone who has access to a CH-47 Chinook helicopter. Excellent videos these were!
Or a S-64 sky crane
Unfortunately, that thing is about 10,000 pounds heavier than either of those can lift.
This is why I like this channel as you never know what Casey will get himself into! Great job to all the rescues!
Casey, I have been waiting for the release of this footage since you first mentioned it. What an insanely crazy turn of events. Awesome job on everyone's part in this recovery (well except the guy driving the LP truck) LOL. I can't believe they didn't want someone more experienced to drive that truck out. WOW!!
great to see people working together and helping each other out ,Great video Casey
thank you
Awesome content. Know your limitations are so key on these types of jobs.
Such a shame it went wrong in the end.
Great to see team work and only one chef in the kitchen so to speak....thanks again for sharing 👏
Amazing work. And I'm glad all 3 videos got uploaded together rather than spread out.
On the radio tower video, you told us this was coming. Looking forward to watching it.
righttracksystems makes a track system for 6x6 trucks it basically turns them into halftracks using the tandem axles. they are used a lot in the oil fields on bed trucks
Always good to have several friends with bigger trucks to help in the recovery process that snowcat was impressive.
sounds like he mentioned that the snowcat is property of ODOT, not Casey or Troy's.
Well, THIS turned into quite the adventure!! LOL!! You've all done an excellent job.. so far!! I'm off to part 3. Thanks Casey!!! Great entertainment!!!
Glad everyone is ok. I like how you narrate .
Casey, quite the "cliff hanger" video. Kudos and Cheers, Mate.
Found myself holding my breath through these videos! Whoa!
I thoroughly enjoyed this one. When you got back to get the tractor it suddenly became clear just how steep it was up there!
Some jobs sometimes are bigger the some others are sometimes… Great story, thanks
Thanks for the great videos Casey and the link to watch them get it up over the bank and out of there. I noticed the propane truck wanted to go over the bank a few more times but thankfully they had it chained so it couldn't. Troy's video was good but I like yours much better.
Troy's fleet was the best option for this job. And more snow, yikes. Seeing you hop a log in a tractor was pretty funny Casey. That boulder was rather large. I can't believe the driver insisted on driving out himself after being offered to have one of you experts do that instead. Shaking my head he drive himself off the edge. All this hard work and now MORE work. Grrrr On to part 3
Oh good grief! I realize the propane company wanted their driver for liability sake but that certainly costed them far more in the long run. I'm curious to know the final bill for that recovery. Many thanks to all that filmed this from start to finish. It was a nail biter! In this case the cherry on top was that huge boulder the truck picked up. Salt in the wound for sure. Really enjoyed this one! Stay safe and GOD bless
I can only imagine the cost of this. The tow companies bills have got to be horrendous. This whole thing could not have been another Tuesday for them all. The skill and experience of all involved is priceless. Oh and as a driver with over 4 million miles experience. I would have said nope on the driving. You take it down.
Good job everyone.
Awesome 2 videos they are getting better with the cinema.
Well I'll bet Troys recover fee was higher that what you charged for the pickup recovery. 😂
Apparently, in Utah they have to put big rocks back where they came from. Ask Matt about it when you go to wrecker games!
I wonder if that was just a special case because it was a 'don't go through here' rock or if all rocks aren't allowed to be moved.
@@waltwoods6461 in that case I'm pretty sure that rock had been positioned to "close" that particular trail, which is why they asked Matt to put it back. If I remember correctly that stuck vehicle had crawled over the rock before it got stuck.
This was meant to be a humorous observation, folks! I see big rock, make joke about other big rock.
Thank you
Great pair of videos🎉
Awesome vid! Thanks for explanation on plowing!
That just got very expensive. Good work on getting it out. Glad the driver was okay.
Memories!
Recovery, it's more than a Job, it's an adventure!!!
Good golly! Now THATS some quality fun time right there!
The heavy duty cool music went perfect at the start of the video with the big rigs on the snowy back country road.
That 6x6 roll back is sick
Congratulations Casey...you will do well with these 2 videos 😀
I've been over the Ochoco in the winter on the well plowed highway and know how deep the snow gets. I would have never dreamed of going up logging roads 30+ miles. We hunt in the and we never camp above 2000' because once it snows you will very lucky if can get your rv.
Stubborn propane company! Didn't know what they were up against!
Editing the outro, you take it to a whole new level! Love the videos!
Awesome, and good job done!
OMG, epic recovery in progress going sideways! Glad things worked out!
Amazing intro! Love your audio quality! Glad Jeremy was with you to drive the Jeep so you could get those amazing B reels from the drone.
i have so much respect for what you and your freind do .....that 6x6 M2 is badass ......i live out in a decently hilly area of eastern pa and a couple years ago a local propane truck slid off a road at a bad curve ended up flipped over down at the bottom of the hill in the woods....also nooo not the chex mix haha
That was the real loss of the day.
@@CaseyLaDelle Not for the squirrels.
Can't wait for part three. 👍
Epic! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome video. That Jeremy is a good camera man, getting some good close action shots.
Love the music, the same getting the folks out of that fire tower. That 6X6 is a beast. So Casey, when are YOU getting a 6X6. Only kidding, your fleet is perfectly capable of the incidents you get into.
Your tail at the end got a smile and laugh out of me. Thanks again for doing these, Casey!
Great job of knowing when to call the guy with bigger equipment.
That was a couple of great videos. Quite the adventure.
That was a great recovery, I went and watched Troy's recovery of the propane truck and that in itself was remarkable, So the question on my mind is if the truck didn't make it up to the radio tower will they attempt to get propane to the station? Is it imperative that they have it this winter? Another video? I would think they would re-think their options before attempting that again, and maybe talk to or troy on how to get it to the radio tower. I've never been to Oregon, But my wife knows the area quite well and watches every video and say's I know where that's at , She comments all the time how kind an generous you are and it makes her day,Thank you Casey
says
Thoroughly enjoyable.
Great video Casey. Always cool content. In this case, very very cool.
The graphics to snowrunner has gotten amazing recently!!
The company should have let you guys handle the recovery AND the driving of the truck.
Great video
Wow…… glad everyone is okay
Casey this video gives new meaning to the phrase bringing in the big guns for sure. I think it is screwed up that they wouldn't let you guys drive the truck out it would of saved time and hassle
🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMG! That definitely went well 🤣🤣🤣.
Good call Casey, but I feel for Troy.
Wow, that's some deep snow and ruts.
That was some pebble stuck under there. 😊
Great video Casey👍
Brilliant man ❤️👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Good intuition to turn the job down dude.
Snow tracks on the ford wrecker be epic
Casey. You are a nutter! 😂 Did the gas company think you couldn't drive the truck or something? It seems this recovery got a lot more expensive and complicated! Glad everyone is OK, and you all got off the mountain safely.
Probably some legal ramifications to operating a hazmat transportation vehicle 🤔
Great opening, I thought I clicked on a Heavy D recovery video.
Amazing example of why this is such a specialty. Mad respect.
Ps. Damn I like snow-driving
Arnold Ca. For 20 years I’ve seen it all. Good job boys (men)
Troy should consider filming all his recoveries, in the event a lawsuit is filled he would have video evidence of the entire recovery which makes assessing liability much easier with video evidence. One 360 action camera on short mast on each piece of equipment would be ultimate proof
Oh my......that was an adventure. You were wise to pass!!
That was a totally amazing recovery!!!
Lots of people and equipment were needed to make it come together. I am wondering what the cost might gave been involved?
Thanks for the ride along!!👍👍👀😳.
I could just see some exterior establishing shots of Casey driving that propane truck down the mountain without any traction aids on the drive wheels (or anything else). Then we see a shot of him driving at the wheel while enjoying some Chex mix. But no, the gas company had their driver attempt to drive with disasterous results. Great video!
Brilliant people ❤️👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
OMG if there was a button for a Billion like you earned it the video was like watching a 3 part mini series called Propane Truck Madness
Ah. The trusty HF electric chainsaw comes through again. (6:00) Everybody snickers when I pull mine out, but it always works and gets the job done. 👍👍
Same!
Ditto!
That poor propane truck.. seemed like it just wanted to stay up there.
Thanks for the video
😄😄😄
The 6x6 truck is sweet
Now this is some good TV!
Dang some great late night stuff to watch. 😉😃
That outro was real smooth!
I love the fact that the company wanted to drive the truck! Oh well!
That 6x6 is awesome, you should get one Casey.
Needed one of those military tank recovery vehicles for that job!
This looks like a mission straight out of snowrunner!
Including the flipped truck ^^
They did an AWESOME job getting that tanker off the mountain.
Though they may have bigger toys than you, Casey, you do a Much better job with the camera.
Man they should have hired a road grader to grade the road and then pull the propane truck out .
You apparently missed the part in the video where Casey explains that they could physically have plowed it, but they couldn't, because they wouldn't be allowed to, and didn't want to, even if they would be allowed to. Rewatch the video starting at 23:37 to see the explanation.
@@chb2551 I commented before the video came to that part but I think ODOT and the forest service could come to a agreement about plowing the road. And for the ice tire chains On the front end for steering plus the rear for going.
good luck!
KC you rock....well you got 1 ...
That 6x6 truck is bad ass to go through the snow like that
8:55 A frontloader can be a real convenient selfrecovery tool.. I used the same tactic when i got stuck with a tractor in the fall of 2023
Casey I believe it would have been cheaper to let you guys drive the truck out because that is what you do for a living. I thought when a towing company done a rescue they were in charge of the rescue till it was done. The driver wasn't a good steering wheel holder in these adverse conditions, so now there will be a bigger tow bill and a truck to repair. That's my opinion for what that's worth. Enjoy the videos. Watching from North Carolina.
Nice shiner pal
