A big problem we have now Rypie is the Chronic Abuse Of The Amber Beacon/Strobe lamp . The Amber lamp is given to public service for one reason . Amber put out the Brightest light of the 4 colours used until Recent times when the LED hit the scene . Issue is No one Slows down any more for the Amber warning systems we use . i feel that Pro Rescue Recovery Should be Full Red But that Creates a problem in many states in the US .. England Red is only used by Ambulance and police .Some Heavy Rescue mechanics whom deal with the truck breakdowns have them too but that is it .
That does not mean they can't be thanked. I am not a driver, however, my dad has been driving almost thirty years, counting the time he spent working for Uncle Sam. #GoArmy #BeatNavy
Nice job teaching,,,,, didn't swear or freak even when the hose went flying and whipped into buddies paint,,,,, just said don't do it again,, thats teaching,,, you are a patient man trent
That's because he's not one of those bosses who never did anything in his life. He knows that everybody makes mistakes, and that you cannot make mistake only if you don't do anything.
You're a natural teacher! You know when to say "show me what we should be doing" and "watch me do this"; it's a skill that few have. From experience, not all apprentices are created equal... so good to see yours is watching and trying, he'll do well!

That's HARD work, especially in the winter! I towed for a couple of years in my youth. My knees are paying for it now. Trent has a great attitude and method for training by always reinforcing the positive. There's a lot to understand, practice and remember. It's critical to help the self confidence of new drivers, NEVER to berate them or cut them down. There are too many bullies out there as it is.
What a great teacher. I'm prior military and was in a teaching capacity for some of it. The company is lucky to have such a patient and practical instructor such as this guy. Good luck Alex !!! You have been trained the right way. I like how the teacher kept asking Alex, "ok Alex, what do we do now". Great video !!!
From people who work on these things, thank you for knowing about what you're working with. Secondly.. thank you for taking pride in your work.. those small details you note on every procedure really shows you care. Your employer is the luckiest person in the world.
Great Video, Nice Presentation & Professionalism...I'm A Retired Heavy-Duty Wrecker Driver...Did It For 24 Years. I Miss Those Days, ALWAYS Up For A Challenge !!, Keep up The Great Work, And Be Safe Out There,....Don't forget To "Enjoy Them Seat Covers", LOL !!!!!
why the caps on every first letter of a word? and also why so many periods and all that? mate just type the sentence and be done with it. using only one exclamation mark means more than four or five.
If I can make a suggestion : Make a paper checklist for alex to use on his first time solo, or even better let him make one and read trough together , that always helped me on a new job. Also make sure to write down all important phone numbers in case his phone dies he can borrow someones phone in case he needs help or advise ( happened to me, ended up calling police to contact the company ) i ame impressed with the amount of gear you have available ( i´ve been looking for blocks ,taking bricks out of the street cause my boss would supply only the bare minimum )
Good job guys. Teaching a new operator keeps things interesting, But I know he has a good teacher. Stay Safe from the idiots that won't slow down or move over!
Its nice to see a person that REALLY knows his job. The guy making the video is what I would call a true professional. The world needs a lot more people like you Jest saying. Nice work
From a truck driver to you wrecker drivers.good video and hard work.18 yrs on the road and was only on the hook twice,knock on wood.good video and great teaching abilities.kudos to you
I love the way he is teaching the new guy. Makes sure that they are aware of safety, follow preparations slowly step by step, encounter an issue, allow trainee to express what he would do. That is just the best way someone could get taught. Makes a mistake, work it out, learn, enjoy. Such great experience that makes you want to push trough in difficult times.
I can't imagine doing all this on the "Highway thru Hell" in the middle of winter, in the mountains - but somehow they do. Hats off to you guys, takes big ones to do this job.
@@CodyFaber96 It's quite the hill. First time for me. Just went up it today. Fan didn't want to turn on. Coolant hit 250°F and shut itself off. Stopped on the side of the hill and let it cool off. Waited a few minutes and fired up kept going.
I can't believe those driver who do not move away from the stranded vehicle. I loved the way you are teaching Alex. You are really teaching by example. At first I didn't see this was over an hour long. You kept me interested the whole time because even if I was a trucker, retired now, I have learned a few little tricks I had never seen before. Great job and good luck Alex on a new career.
I used one of these rigs to tow a school bus years ago before you needed CDLs. Never drove one in my life, only a F-350 wrecker at the time. I managed to figure it all out and get back to the bus yard without any misshaps LoL
I used to drive a wrecker for Freddie Macs Towing in south El Monte CA 20 yrs ago, i love channels like this and others, brings back so many memories, great video.
Amazing, simply amazing. That’s probably one of the best instructional videos I’ve seen in a long time. You can probably make a series on heavy duty towing, and sell it to towing companies across the US. You’d make a killing. Alex reminds me of myself, a fast learner. Every vehicle I’ve operated in my driving career, I learned by watching, and on the job training. To me that’s the best way to learn.
Wow Alex looks a really nervous. Well at least you got the job done. Sooner or later he's going to be an awesome Heavy Haul tow truck driver. Can't wait to see that.
I had to watch every second of the video too. I was sleepy until I started watching it then I woke right up n didn't wanna stop watching. Great job to both of you guys.
Trainer did a really good job of showing Alex the ropes and picking good opportunities for him to lead the operation. Good attitude and always keeping safety in mind.
True tow operator right there. Has a routine down, is patient and calm, knows exactly what to do. Very professional. I’ve been towing for 21 years now and I’m just like this guy only light duty. Keep up the good work and be safe out there! The side of a busy highway is one of the most dangerous places on earth. #SDMO
Mad respect for you teaching Alex especially when he unhooked the air hose and it flew out of his hands and the way he looked at you after he grabbed it again I felt so bad but you didn't put him down you just spoke to him about it and made sure he wouldn't do it again and even told him that you do it sometimes Mad respect! I also know nothing about towing a car so this was cool to watch
Great instructions and support for a newbie. Kudos to Alex, for getting his Class-A, and wanting to better himself. Don't be afraid to ask questions and work as a team. Someday you will learn something from him. Though I don't work in your profession, it builds a better team, you help each other, and ultimately everyone stays safe. Thanks again.
You are a patient and a good trainer. The customer kept walking around all over the place and close to traffic. Customer should stay in one spot, stay out of the way and don't walk near traffic. One less thing to worry about.
What a pleasure to watch a true professional at work. Whatever you and other big rig tow truck operators are paid it ain’t enough! God bless and stay safe.
Really good teaching! , It is so important to teach by letting them do but also be stern on safety like leg placement. Also i love the way you ask simple questions like "what do you want me to do" which makes him think if the next step rather then you just do it yourself which would let him easily forget that step.
Great episode, shows How To teach but yet safety first. People don't realize how fast traffic is going with just 70 mph and the wind flow until you're stopped out there, especially if you don't have a Unit out there with you.. Y'all be safe out there!! 🤗
Trent, you are an excellent trainer, teacher, professor. you are calm, nice, with good sense of humor, excellent with safety. well done. Alex is also keen to learn, and he did well.
great teacher with amazing patients. Trainers need to learn from this guy. Very informative video & I watched the whole thing. Great job & on the learning experience.
Your a good patient teacher, stay that way, you will make a good employee and a friend with Alex, everyone at some point in their careers has to be taught and you clearly understand that. Peace.
I'm sure it's normal for you, but it was nice to see you wearing gloves while emptying the air tank. I have a buddy who's hand is full of shrapnel from draining an air tank without gloves, and the accident happened over 2 years ago when he was 18.
I'm not a trucker. I've never driven a big truck. I'll probably never drive a big truck, much less tow one. But I watched it from beginning to end. Few things are more enjoyable than watching a professional do their job. This video is not just a good overview into the trucking and towing world. It's also a great video on how to interact with people and how to conduct yourself with patience, good humour, and professionalism while under pressure.
Hi Trent. Very nice work with client and lots of patience with your new man. Beautiful KW, nice paint job. You are a good teacher. Your posts are in stark contrasts to some of the other Tow services. Good example for all.
Sure brings back memories, must have put 500,000 miles on the road though the years. Starting driving big rigs in 1971, used to be very little traffic back then. Over 2 millions miles later, now I tow a 32 foot RV! Nice vid.
I doubt it will happen anytime soon. Riverside county is pretty slow when it comes to roadway upgrades. I-40, to the north in San Bernardino county, has truck lanes despite having far less traffic.
Surprised by the great respectful trainer! Normally they be screaming at the poor new guy for any little thing, or they be all pist off at life and they take it out on the new guy......but this trainer here was a breath of fresh air, the new guy also seemed very knowledgeable and looks like he will be a great worker, that can one day (with the proper grooming and training) become an important asset.
That is one long ass hill to climb! The drivers don't move over to give you a safe space to work. In Ontario Canada there is a law that when you see ANY emergency vehicle, you must move over if possible or slow down as you pass. The fines are pretty stiff for not doing it. Too many emergency people were getting killed or injured especially at night. Great video and Alex is lucky to have such a patient teacher. That would be a tough job in winter when it's -20F and the wind and snow are whipping around you.

Not really, you shouldnt need to thank people for having common sense in my opinion.

Hi Trent. Very nice work with client and lots of patience with your new man. Beautiful KW, nice paint job. You are a good teacher. Your posts are in stark contrasts to some of the other Tow services. Good example for all.
Its these special kinds of videos where you watch all the way through.
At midnight
We always have incidents - no point shouting at all. We all learn from our mistakes. Great teaching!!
Turns the beacon lights off when up to speed. That's professional all by itself.
Sure brings back memories, must have put 500,000 miles on the road though the years. Starting driving big rigs in 1971, used to be very little traffic back then. Over 2 millions miles later, now I tow a 32 foot RV! Nice vid.
Crazy that this stretch of road doesn't have a climbing lane for slower traffic. It's certainly heavy enough traffic to warrant one.
Come to think of it, you're right!
I doubt it will happen anytime soon. Riverside county is pretty slow when it comes to roadway upgrades. I-40, to the north in San Bernardino county, has truck lanes despite having far less traffic.
Surprised by the great respectful trainer! Normally they be screaming at the poor new guy for any little thing, or they be all pist off at life and they take it out on the new guy......but this trainer here was a breath of fresh air, the new guy also seemed very knowledgeable and looks like he will be a great worker, that can one day (with the proper grooming and training) become an important asset.
Good teacher Trent.
Great video! Doing it the right way. Tow training at its best! You all be safe.
The interior real time footage of driving while towing is much better than the "boomcam".
It's nice to see people moving over for you guys while you work on the side of the interstate.
Final checklist item: all doors *closed and secured*.
That is one long ass hill to climb! The drivers don't move over to give you a safe space to work. In Ontario Canada there is a law that when you see ANY emergency vehicle, you must move over if possible or slow down as you pass. The fines are pretty stiff for not doing it. Too many emergency people were getting killed or injured especially at night. Great video and Alex is lucky to have such a patient teacher. That would be a tough job in winter when it's -20F and the wind and snow are whipping around you.
