20 years of trucking and I’ve never seen THIS!

- I've been trucking for a long time and this is the first time I've ever seen a self greasing 5th wheel! I know of self greasing systems on heavy equipment, but have never seen a setup like this before. Anyways, in this video, I got called by a gentleman who is having to move after his landlord passed away and the beneficiaries decided to sell the house. He has a couple of projects that he was in the middle of them, and one of those projects was a Freightliner truck that currently does not have insurance or registration, so he had me tow it to his new property about 3 hours away

Casey LaDelle is such a kind, helpful and wonderful person. Here's some additional info on the person who owns the 1994 Freightliner Casey moved to Sprague River, OR. USAF Veteran, 16 years active duty, 4x combat tours, USAF Combat Search and Rescue, Special Operations Command, combat-related PTSD, combat-related injuries [VA Disability rating]. Once Casey learned about the situation he quickly, almost immediately, came to "rescue the rescue guy" and help move the semi truck to the new location. Casey makes no mention in the video of towing fees or how quickly he showed up to help once he learned of the circumstances. In true Casey-style fashion, he showed up as his normal, happy self ready to work and made quick work of the tow. Casey makes no mention of his efforts to help a disabled combat veteran in a jam and that fact is quite central to the overall story. Casey quickly helped a combat veteran in a jam who otherwise had no clear solution to the problem. What Casey treats and presents as an easy and routine job for him, changed the situation entirely for a combat veteran in a real pickle of a situation.
I hope Casey gets enough views and likes on this video to help recoup his uncovered expenses associated with helping a combat veteran in a jam.
Comes as no surprise to me, Casey is 100% “good guy” modest and no frills.
He could have made a deal of helping a Veteran, but chose not to, just called it “Good business” good indeed.
God bless him. ❤️🇷🇴
Wow. That kind of experience is truly impressive and respected! Thank You to the gentleman for his years service and support in so many roles. So greatly appreciated! And to Casey for helping this learned-about need! Remarkable!
@@moulinsartthat was in very poor taste.
With him, "working in peace and quiet" refers to more than a running truck in beautiful surroundings. Thanks for the story behind this tow.
@moulinsart What the Hell kinda bullshit comment was that?
You have a veteran helping others when they were in need. And now Casey is helping him.
Casey, we met at the Wrecker Games! I'm the crazy lady that was stuck in a wheel chair!! My hubby and I have loved your videos since you started and continue to enjoy them. Don't let any of the negativity of the haters get you down. Your videos offer grreat value, education, and entertainment to many. Your work and your service to those in need, far outweighs anything that those that judge you harshly could ever offer! Keep up the great work, and we hope to see you again sometime! 😊
Damm! A wheelchair recovery! That would up the ratings!😁
What a spooky truck
Pssst... Casey actually enjoys the haters... Don't tell anyone.
@@jakester455 wistlin Diesel has made a fortune off haters. So maybe Casey can do the same
@@ShineRunnersGarageThere is something about WD that I like, he is an intelligent guy. Yet I have to point out, there is quite a difference between doing work and, like in this case, saving material, helping people and even sometimes keeping waste out of the wild. Versus WD who is the exact opposite. He might be fun, but all the waste and pollution, I can‘t stand it.
I for one, enjoy watching a no drama, normal working day for you. All your videos are interesting. Thanks.
100% agree, not a fan of the "drama"
@@drugseeker
I enjoy a bit of drama, but not the manufactured bull💩 drama that a lot of channels put out, it is also better if it is Casey recovering someone else’s drama and not drama happening to Casey!
@@drugseeker I've stopped watching a couple of channels where the 'drama' was ridiculous! Same with some TV shows!
Agreed and what a great tow rig.
I agree. I love watching channels like this to relax, chill, maybe learn a thing or 2 (wich i have) so no drama is a requierment.
I realize there some toxic people out there, i just hope Casey stop adressing them to much. I watch Casey because i like to watch his way of doing stuff. Once one raise a voice it can only end in drama and thats not why im here.
Anyways, a lobg commebt to say i agree 😊
I've watched other heavy wrecker channels enough to know that the rarity and safety of picking up and dropping off on private property is a welcome luxury. I'm happy to see the "good for business" working for you. And well done with the Trunk or Treat.
Beautiful setup you have. Alot cheaper then building a wrecker. Smart.
I trust animals more than people... That crow has good taste in trucks...and people... Well done Casey!
I loved the interaction with the Bird. It is great to be able to communicate with the wildlife.
I run Oregon almost every month. We haul Tigercat loggers and feller bunchers over there.
I don’t like breaking down on the road but I sure know who I’m gonna call if I ever need a tow…
Keep up the good work @CaseyLadelle !!! You are a true inspiration for many of us !
Def is why I bought an old truck. Mid nineties Detroit 60 series
I love watching your videos. It started because of the offroad snow recoveries. Now with the heavy its even better. I ran wrecker everything from an 8 ton up to 50 tons. Did that for 2 decades, finally retired from it 8 or 10 years ago. No sleep takes a toll on you. This lets me remember the fun it was sometimes. Keep making the videos for us, your doing an outstanding job at it. Really love the charity work you do also. And finally my opinion on your setup, givin my experience over the years, that seems to be the most versatile setup that I've seen operate. It honestly seems overbuilt, which is a very good thing.
So glad you could help this gentleman Casey. Losing housing on short notice is always a terrible situation.
Perfect "trunk" for the trunk or treat!!
I am happy with a no drama video. Too many TH-camrs feel they need to use fake drama to generate views. Thanks for not being one of them.
That wrecker is a fantastic piece of equipment. Impressive.
The thing that really saves equipment is having only one driver❤ You drive this truck like yoy paid for It. What a wonderful truck😊
Casey, I respect you ability to stop and smell the roses knowing you have your own health concern to deal with, you don't let that even slow you down. Much Respect and admiration Casey.
Thank You Casey for helping a fellow combat Vet. Thank You Sir for your service!
I sobered up while in the service. 35 years ago I read and learned early AAs when starting their Alano Clubs kept coming up with rules. Rule 42 (I could be wrong about the number) "Let's not take ourselves too Seriously"! Among my daily tools for sobriety, (as you can tell by my picture) I do not take myself too seriously. Mr. LaDelle I am glad I never needed your service when I drove OTR, but I do have a funny to share. When I'd leave my truck for a shower, I'd throw my saddlebags over my shoulder and head in to the truck stop. Not always but occasionally a fool would ask; "hey cowboy, where'd ya leave your horse?". My simple and mean reply; "he's at your house and when your wife can walk again can you ask her to take him home?"
Most times it got a laugh! Truckers have to have a great sense of humor and many men like being caught with a line they know is stupid. But, we all do it to break the boredom of a day's routine.
A BIG Thank You to all truck drivers doing a Thankless job while being told needlessly that they are number one in crude ways. Stay safe and keep the rubber side down.
With Love and Respect Casey, you are in my prayers
Hoka Hey
The Zacklift 30 ton is amazingly versatile! It even does trunk or treat
😂😂😂😂
You made a friend today! 🦅
That crow is just like you…He operates on a wing and a prayer.😎
That bird was surprisingly fun to watch.
Helping out others in need .. “talking” and feeding the birds .. PRICELESS! 💜
How funny that bird know s you and your truck.. They have excellent memories and recognise people!
Not terrible videos, GREAT videos. Thank you Vasey. Keep up the good work. God bless.
Automatic power greasing - I learn something new every day.
Can't wait to see the return of your other light bar. Looked salvageable for sure. Great video per usual!
Casey, you answered the one big question I had about your new system and how it has been working for you. Hearing that you've been non-stop busy since you got the new rig tells me all that I need to know. So glad you are back in your niche - and I really don't care what you shoot a video about - I'm going to watch it, learn and enjoy. Hopefully this winter we can have the best of both worlds - you doing your day to day operations with the heavy side, and the track jeep (or the whatever) rescuing people stuck out in the woods trying to get out and enjoy nature. Keep being you, Casey!!
Spotted Casey on Friday, heading over the overpass on Deschutes Market Rd. The new truck and Zacklift look sweet. Definitely stand out in the towing world.
Great to hear the new set up is meeting your expectations. I love equipment that has been well thought out to provide options for so many situations on how the end user could use(and abuse) was taken into account, not just ease of fabrication/lowest cost.
Since you can't see the stop point to maintain the pivot on the under reach, consider painting a "stop line" on the top of the arm. Maybe that is something Zacklift would want to do.
I thought the same, I have a little engine hoist and one of the first things I did was put white lines on the jib to indicate the holes fir the pin lining up, I can adjust the jib and pin it without looking into the hole for the adjustment hole!
Honestly with as well thought out as the Zaklift seems to be I’m surprised they haven’t done that yet.
Paint a line around the telescoping boom where it will turn.
Love your videos! I seriously learn something every episode!
I for one thank you very much for bringing us all alone on your adventures.
Love your “New” truck by the way.
🙏❤️😎🤙🛻💨
I think a nice pin stripe with some flare would look good
@@tracydjenkins as I say,
Performance with flair,
or one that’s mundane.
You get what you give,
and some get insane. 🙏❤️😎🤙🛹
Even just use a sharpie .
2" Dot Reflector Tape will work😎👌
Casey is one of the better guys out there. Definitely better than me. Hopefully his kindness and etc... will rub off. I think it will!
I'll just have to keep watching and commenting until it does. And then continue to watch and comment for the general enjoyment! Thanks Mr. LaDelle. Thanks.
Class is in session! I never get tired watching Casey doing his job. Never a dull moment. Cheers, Mate.
As for the Dep the environmentalists were also real excited about MTBE's as well until they saw what was happening at Lake Tahoe.
Little safety tip for you Casey that’ll hopefully help you in the future. When you were tying the rear tandem down on the Freightshaker to your truck I noticed that you don’t have a full wrap on the drum of your ratchet strap before you began cranking it down. Always get a full wrap on your ratchet drum before putting tension on the nylon. Without the full wrap the strap is only using the friction of a tiny steel cylinder to hold whatever the load is instead of the friction of the strap material itself. It didn’t fail on you this time it is only a matter of time before it does.
I made the mistake of taking a loaded flatbed that someone else had tied down without untarping it to check it all. It wasn’t much later that I learned how much of a mess a 3200lb pallet of crushed iron ore makes on the highway.
Good luck to ya 👍
This is non sense. Nothing worse than having to cut a strap because some hooligan wrapped the strap 15 times around the cylinder and the strap binds into the release handle.
@@AL4N. Didn’t say anything about wadding up the drum with that much of the strap. Simply stated that not having a full wrap on the drum will allow the strap to slip. Rain and inclement weather are horrible multipliers that make such a thing even worse.
Started noticing the effects of this sort of thing after my Dad pointed it out to me while he was tying down a load on his flatbed 40 years ago. Without dragging the comment out before I have been on several trips with my buddy and his towing company to straighten up loads at the rest areas local to us with either his loader or my forklift. Been around trucking my entire life as my parents and each of Dads 4 brothers all have their own trucking companies scattered from Southern Illinois to California. It most certainly isn’t bogus information.
To add something to your point, I honestly think that the goons who ratchet that much onto the drum are the reason that warning labels should be removed from pretty well everything that could shorten the existence of those same goons. Firm believer that those goofballs and their offspring are a big contributor to the lack of common sense of so much of today’s generation. From where we are today looking forward there doesn’t seem to be much chance of that lack of common sense returning in the future. All we can do is to pass along helpful knowledge and tips to help those who are unaware no matter how it’s received. Just gonna do my best to not make things worse and possibly help if I’m able.
@@lewismocaby3646 good comment and good information. My apologies if my previous comment came off brash.
You are a very good man, Casey, business and life is treating you like you deserve 😊
That fifth wheel greaser is bad ass !
Wrecker is definitely looking great, better than what I initially was expecting when you mentioned the project early on.
"Your truck is cool..."
"YOUR truck is cool!"
"Did we just become best friends?!"
"YUP!" :)
That auto-greaser is awesome though.
I like the idea of the wrecker bed
He has a great system to grease everything on that truck! Good job Casey on towing it and answering questions!
Yellow Freight used to have a greasing system on most linehaul tractors, every time you released the trailer brakes, everything got a shot of grease. Dry 5th wheel, push the button 3 or 4 times while unhooked.
Casey I hope you bring David along as often as you can. He seems like such a nice young man and you guys seem to get along so well.
He moved away for college
I don't know why but when you said "Perfect" it made me think of Roy from Shipping Wars. He'd always say, "Perfect. Just like me."
Well that was a impressive Trunk Or Treat setup for Halloween! 👻
Very cool client! Seemed very personable and into the trucks and gear. So glad you could give him a hand when he needed help!
Towing is exciting for us office workers!
Seeing your joy at work and your business flourishing makes me happy!
Awesome job, really enjoyed the interaction with the birds. The interaction that you have with your viewers, wish only people would understand
Ravens are smart enough to remember your face and what your truck looks like. Keep the chex mix handy.
I'm a crane operator/truck driver, our company and most other outfits always stuff a car wash sponge, or a clean rag into the exhaust whenever we haul cranes or equipment. Protects the engine turbo from damage. it will spin out of control for sometimes hours with no oil pressure.
Clearly pulling the lift all the way in, then bumping it back out works - It might be worth putting a pin strip or piece of tape on the top that you can see as you are coming in. Get it in exactly the right place once and tape/sharpie/paint a mark. Then you know you have full rotation, and anywhere less than that limits it.
That looks like a great piece of kit - thanks for sharing it with us (and your community).
So cool to help someone who needs to vacate their property in a hurry. Love the new truck and Zacklift. Nice to learn a bit about how it operates. The light duty wrecker I helped my brother with on occasion is a toy compared to your beast!! Have lived in the Midwest all my life. Looking forward to moving to the mountains. The area where you live and work is gorgeous. Took a camping trip out that way a few years ago. Will get out West again this summer. We will probably end up in New Hampshire or Vermont...Love all the good you do!
UPS semi trucks come from the factory with auto-grease systems. It's a pretty cool system
In all your videos i'm in awe of your excellent customer service. Rarely have I seen someone as considerate as you. You are a credit to your profession and I would hire and recommend you in a heartbeat.
👋👋awesome that you share your knowledge and answer questions from viewers. Not judgmental or anything. You get that sometimes "silly" questions are just honest questions that a person hasn't had a clear answer to before. Was a time the rest of us didn't know either. Also. Thanks for keeping the language to a min in your videos. Its a truck show. So yup there will be some. But i still can watch it with my kids. Keep up the great work.
Even when something 'unfortunate' happens like spilling you snacks all over the floor of your cab, it turns out fine when you get to make an interesting segment turning your truck into a 6 figure bird feeder for you crow friend. It is amazing the follow along video you get out of your 360 cam on top of the container at the destination. Did you climb the door to the the tripod and camera up there?
Do you go to THAT fuel stop very
often ? Crows REMEMBER , and live
for decades. Your BRIGHT CLEAN
SNAZZY logo'd truck is certainly a
_stand_ _out_ , but they recall
FACES as well. You just made a
friend & you're *marked* . They'll
be expecting more CHEX next time 😛.
CROWS are also known for their
LOYALTY. They've been known to
attack school-bullies who harass
kids who feed them , divebomb
driveway carjackers & muggers
( of people who feed them ) , &
in 1 case that sticks in my mind , do figure-8's diving swoops
between sidewalk pedestrians
and a backyard / fence , alerting
the passersby to their elderly friend
who had passed-out in her backyard ,
out of sight ( & rescued by the EMT's )
So you may have just gained a
bunch of _watchful_ _eyes_ over
you when yer in that neck o' the woods 🙂 . GOOD KARMA .
( hunters / hikers say : *_ALWAYS_*
Listen & Watch the Crows )
@@rythemzlatinyes hunter’s should listen to the crows and squirrels while hunting because they give early warnings about things going on around them
You gotta love that guys attitude, 14yrs and having to move all you own is tough, he’s very matter of fact and up beat about moving on.
Yup. No point in wasting energy moaning about it - just get to work and get it done.
Don't want to repeat all the great comments to you, but THANK YOU for all you do. I love the videos, lessons, and character choices you make. May God Bless you and your family AGAIN.
HEY! Good morning Casey and thumbs UP!!
beat ya by 2 sec!!!!
@@JanelleVocate-Ames YAY! 🤗 LOL
yep, a true feat with your speedy ass fingers!!!@@richardthomas1743
Keep up the awesome work Casey. Fantastic to see you helping that gentleman out. 🎉🎉🎉
Haven't seen grumpy in forever and a day hope all is well
I'm glad you're STILL happy with your, I'm sure, VERY expensive purchase! I could almost hear you saying, 'No buyer's remorse here!' Happy for you!
Casey: "Do you want to ride with me?"
The raven: "Nevermore."
Casey, I was blown away when I first worked on a 1915 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost at a restoration shop in the UK and found they are fitted with what looks like a copper syringe on the dash, it was a full lube system that with a couple of pumps, it lubed everything! and I mean everything! 1915 and they were building vehicles to last, not engineered to fail!!!
Loving the safety chain with carabiners on the light bar!!! Great idea 💡
As usual - fantastic informative video Casey. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!
And love hearing all the details about all the rigs. As a non-towing guy, you ever done a super basic show and tell of what each of the controls do on the truck?
will do!
i love how you went out of your way to share your snacks with the crow...
Been watching enough of Ron Pratts videos, not all rotator, that it leaves few questions unanswered. He is real good at describing the hows and whys of about everything.
Yes he’s very good. I’m at the other in the state. Northeast Missouri.
Anyone who wants to be a tow truck driver needs to watch Ron’s Chammel.
Good video Casey! Every job has a slight variation on a "typical" tow. Thanks for helping one of our Warriors in need. The crow would have been a good addition to your Trunk (Truck) or Treat. I hope Riley and the other kids had a great time. Our church had ours and this years' was the most successful yet! All the best to you and your family.
Great example of the versatility of the Insta360. Paint a line on that underlift boom.(I'm sure you've already thought of that! 🙂) Glad you got your lightbar back.
Nice work Casey! Thank you for taking care of the community!
Well you definitely have me smiling and laughing a little bit this morning between the bird and oh look crap and then you kick it lol. And them birds are really smart
Hi Casey,
I am pleased to hear that your latest acquisition is getting plenty of work. When one contemplates spending money on new equipment, it's always going to be a concern as to whether there will be enough work to justify the purchase, so I hope the jobs keep rolling in for you.
Thanks for taking the time to explain the functions of the truck, what an awesome piece of equipment in your fleet! Im staying tuned for the next adventure.
Thank you for your videos and the good you do for other people. Cant get enough of your videos. Learn something new every time.
The Zacklift seems very sturdy and very well thought out
ASCFYA (A stupid comment for the TH-cam algorithm, even though I always vote with my views and likes) Casey, thank you for making/taking the time to explain the finer points of the whys of the what you do; it is always appreciated!
Casey, I love your channel and video content. Things I have never seen or will never see. Thank you for sharing with us. I have said it before your are a good man with a big heart ❤️. God Bless you and yours.
Whoot! I'll be working the Sprague River country next week! Love that country.
Thanks for the interesting videos, Casey. I don't tow or ever recover vehicles (I'm a phone guy) but I've always been interested in how things work. I find I always learn stuff from your explanations.
And I love to see your charity work. (I'm a Mason and a Shriner). Even to birds. :) BTW, I consider Chex Mix to be the perfect road snack...
The Zacklift seems extremely capable for a removable attachment.
Thanks, Casey, for the great, informative content. Keep up the great work, and I'll keep tuning in .. I love your channel.
Kind of like the simple videos, nothing broken, nothing lost, no ammo to stir up the peanut gallery.
Truck looks awesome, glad it's working out for you.
Hey Casey awesome videos. I was wondering if you could make a video on how you can take that unit off and on your truck. I'm still just amazed the thought process you put in that unit and trailer. Thanks for awesome videos 😁
I will when it needs to come off.
The burning question I have - What does Riley think of your new truck?
Loves it
Thanks Casey for what you did to help this Vet out. Keep up the great Videos Casey
Thank you Casey for explaining your equipment. I love it. It is easier to follow your videos when I know more about what you use and how to use it/them. God bless.
Nice job with the Trunk or Treat ! ! !
Is there anything you would change or wish you had on the wrecker now that you've had it awhile?
I need to get wheel grids for it.
Yes @ shutting the Engine off! Nothing worse than a clacking Diesel engine left running for no good reason.
It's 15° outside it's probably not even warm yet😂
But they sound amazing
I am really enjoying the heavy equipment recovery work you are featuring now that you've got your new rig. Thank you for showing us how it's done...like a Boss!
Thanks for the great visit.
With regard to leaving the parking brake on.....
6:04 Truck Driver: People who drive U-Haul's.., they don't drive big trucks normally, they don't know how.., so you can't really fault them....
Me:
Oh yes you can.... Anyone who doesn't fully understand the operational side off the vehicle they are in full control of..., got no earthly business sitting behind the steering wheel. Ignorance is not listed as a prerequisite in the operators manual, nor does it work as a defense in a court of law.
The universal rule that applies to everybody and everything. "If you don't know what you're doing...,get educated first or just "Don't mess with it.
That can apply to any vehicle , and does everywhere they run!
Before I even watch the rest have to say I never think of Oregon being that cold this time of year! I must be thinking about the Western part. BRRRR! I feel for you working in those temp! 🥶🥶🥶
Well we’re in elnino it’s going to be colder winters deeper into the south with more snow farther south it’s not surprising it’s already that cold in the north by Casey
Never thought of eastern Oregon getting below zero till I lived there.
@@Doubie.Here in Louisiana we've already had our first freeze
We've had a few cold nights and maybe a frost or two in the mountains but currently it's a lovely 39 in upper NY
Western Oregon and Eastern Oregon are two drastically different states in a lot of ways
Casey, some of my favorite days at work are the days with a great customer and a straight forward task. Include the scenery and the atmosphere, I submit that it doesn’t get much better on this planet.
Casey we need to thank you for making these videos for us to watch that rig is awesome and amazing can't wait to see a big recovery job with that monster you take care and be safe 👍
Nice easy haul. Thanks for the education. Thanks for helping a fellow veteran.
Casey I been watching your video for 2 years, and I think you are very good at your job. You are very organized, Kind, trustworthy and contientious. Its a lot of fun watching you operate. Great Job Casey. From Canada
Hi from Canada, of all the truckers I watch you're the most pleasant and you know what yo're doing, it's a real pleasure .
as usual always something different and interesting just keep doing what you do bro we love it
Awesome job and great video. 30 years in trucking here, I have seen the auto grease thing before but never on a 5th wheel or even on the king pins, very interesting. Thanks for all you do for the community, especially my fellow brothers in arms.
A really nice, friendly and informative video, thank you. And so nice to see kindness towards our crow friends, well done for taking time for them.
