That little speech you gave there starting at about a minute in...that's the greatest middle finger moment I've seen in a very long time, thank you for being decent and kind while you embarrassed them
They told the guy it would cost 40k because they didn't want to bother doing that job, that's not a real cost, come on.
@@oczhaal just saying that number should be criminal. Nothing but another sorry tow company. Is that what you do for a living?
Here in Maine we have a facebook page specifically for offroaders who get stuck. Huge group of us. You need help and you post. Someone will be there to help. We help with looking for missing people as well.
We do too. It's called S.O.S. STUCK IN FLORIDA
This is awesome!
I was a rollback operator for local tow company for seven years he's absolutely right they will send everything even a forklift
I worked for one for 10 years so I second your confirmation
But the company that attacked our business saying we are ruining the tow market was not local
Just some
Business owner on tow talk mad at us for stealing all the off-road calls
@@OffRoadRecoveryLLCmaybe dont be a pussy about it and do better like your doing and put effort in and try to have a good rep they just don't wanna get wet get the truck dirty and use their rigs like they are meant for
its crazy idk about your area but tow trucks around my area will not go Offroad
@@OffRoadRecoveryLLC
You just can't beat an honest hardworking man.
If this customer was really quoted 40K to get that truck out of the ditch, that means that the "towing company" didn't want to deal with him and didn't care what happened to him. All too common, really.
Wasn’t this customer exactly
But one very very similar
In a tiny bit of water
But the argument with the tow company one
Was easily accessed by a 2wd truck and the stuck vehicle was a Honda minivan
This guy was about 4 miles in the woods
When you provide a service not to smart to gouge your customers, will come back and bite you 😅
@@bigbee6897I gotta a buddy will do a 4 hr round trip for 80 had a different guy I know say for a 30 min drive was a 100 I just bombed my shit at the 100 but good people are there just far and few between man is extremely decent I'm glad that he'd do the 4hr trip for 80 that's just amazing
@@greedygarage4778
If he's your buddy and he's doing it as a favor, okay, fine but $20/hour is not a business.
@@greedygarage4778 He's probably not even making minimum wage driving 4 hours for $80 after paying for gas.
I've never been stuck but thank god there are people like u
40k for that wtf and i thought a local tow company wanting 400 to pull me 30ft back onto the road was outrageous thankfully just like this guy a honest man came along and helped me
love the call out at the beginning !! greed is what lost that big company a job!!
Yeah we got into an argument on a “tow” talk page
Says he’s required to send all that equipment per osha
For safety
More likely the big company just didn't want to get a truck dirty so they gave him some kind of line to scare him off
@@johnstark4723 or they are crooks. If I don't want a certain job I just say its not for me and if I know someone that fights their needs I give them the contact info. We grown up I think.
I hate how our culture has normalized cookie-cutter overpricing. If a recovery company doesnt have an off-road recovery rig, the owner is 325lbs and drives an f450 as a daily, you called the wrong place. I would have ran the 4 miles out, called an Uber to Walmart, and came back with a $20 comalong and some straps.
You make it seem so easy the right equipment works every time
I’ve seen 80k bills from our company. It was for a B-train with 2 coils of steel that went down a hill and lost the load and rolled over and the driver was a fatality. Fuel and hydraulic was all over from the barricades gutting the tanks as well. Flat bed for each 40k coil, one for each trailer, tractor was towed. 3 rotators and other vehicles needed.
That’s facts brother !! We appreciate you and what you do brother!
Im glad I came across your channel, I also watch the other off road channel but I can relate to you & what you get into more than the dessert.
Keep up the good work & I'll keep watching.
Excellent recovery set up on the Jeep and rigging! Just missing the Holm fold down boom and tow bar if still offered. Recovery/Motor Sgt. for 23 years. 3.5 tours in Vietnam getting Tanks buried up to the Gun or more. C4 and Engineer air compressors were a great help! Your equipment set up: ground anchor, spades, etc., remind me of the OVM on the great 5 ton Wrecker! Keep up the great great work!
I am really enjoying your channel. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Big thanks for helping this person!
Just subscribed. You’re videos and you’re pretty cool. Love watching people saving the day and helping people out doing what they love even if that includes them getting stuck.
Agreed, the tow company is effing nuts. I must also question the driver.
First things I added to my Jeep were sliders and winch. Sliders is because my wife is 60 inches and knew lift and tires were next. Winch because we travel alone. Self extraction is very important when you go solo.
He could have self extracted from that situation properly prepared.
Yes, I always stress people to go out prepared.
Especially places like this with no cell service
Lol.....he could a bought another vehicle and trailer for 40k!! But seriously, yes......your life could depend on being prepared!! There's alotta hungry bears here in northern ontario chinada as well as adverse weather conditions.....it's easier than most people think.
@@hitekredneck109 I grew up in northern Michigan
Bears and wolves
Will get ya before making it out of the woods if your not prepared for them too
Yep, a couple chains and a come-a-long would have worked, there's plenty of trees to anchor it to. Sure you'd have to work a bit, but..
@@dundonrl
I think that this was a little more than a come along. Back when, I traveled with a come along and 50 feet of cable. It saved my ass and others. I think that the suction could have been too great for that extraction. Maybe a cable and a snatch block plus the come along. As I said and you reiterated, come prepared. Know your equipment and don't exceed them.
Subscribed. The beginning is hilarious as is the mud pit send @5:20 😂
Yeah we had some tow company owners complaining about it
What I said at the beginning was not made up
Was a real argument
Man, great channel!
Master mechanic did get something out of this, Thank you!
lol this is roasting GOLD!!!
40k for a 4k car!!! Makes sense!
I hope that guy knows the check is differentials there could be water in them
Down in Valdosta GA, 40 years ago, I got stuck on a log trail. 5 mile or so walk back into town on a Sunday. I knew the local wrecker man. Quiet day at the station so we went out together. He pulled me out in 2 minutes after I crawled thru the mud to hook up to the frame. Paid 50 bucks. Insurance repaid me. No damn way I would pay 40,000 dollars for a tow. They better have a crane chopper for that!
With the tires he had looks like he would have got stuck on side the rd 😂
The true definition of KISS. Great job
I once had to get rescued by a snowcat when i got my Chevy Tahoe stuck several miles out into a wetland. I had bald tires and was ub to the base of my doors in mud. Nobody understood how i got out there. And honestly neither did I. It cost me $240 in tickets for the recovery. I was charged with trespassing on Native American Reservation territory and Driving cross country in a protected wetlands. Im grateful they didnt charge me anything for the actual recovery. It would have been atleast a couple grand.
That was back in the day when Nissan made a Pathfinder that was designed to go off road and what I mean by off road is that, not a soccer field.
Good job getting him out. 💪💪💪💪
Was super easy, was in 2wd all the way out and during the winch
2 more guys we could have pushed it out
You should have called the sheriff's department to make a barricade around the scene
Good stuff!
So after watching your videos as a new subscriber. I am cured of my thought of becoming an off-road recovery person. And if I had to do an off-road recovery, I would probably bid $40,000 and then give them your number and hope I don’t get the job. You do excellent work.
What in the world was that guy thinking driving that vehicle back in there, he deserves to walk a few miles.
I don't have to worry about cost because being older/wiser I would never ever take my 4wd down secluded, mud filled, rutted trails like that. It just isn't worth the risk of getting stuck or having break downs that could leave me there for days unnoticed. Even if I made it back it isn't worth power washing 100+ pounds of mud out of it. I have plenty of muck on my farm if I really have the urge to get stuck and a tractor not far away to pull it out.
I'm totally with ya, If I decide to do a little four wheeling I stick close to the trails and fields close to my house so I could always walk back home and jump on the front end loader. But these days I hate to get it all packed with mud to have to pressure wash off. Getting old and lazy I guess.
So many folks think if they have a 4WD, it is unstoppable. A decent driver can take a 2WD further than most of those folks can take their mall crawler.
My first car was a 1968 Dodge power wagon!! I got it stuck on old sports man rd in Galveston in 1978!! It took 3 tow trucks and 7 hours to get me out! The old man charged me 30 bucks!! Good times!!
Your sarcasm is hilarious!
Totally agree. When clowns say your ruining any industry by charging to little I say they need to run out of customers. There are different markets and income levels that all need quality service. "Robbery" shouldnt be a thing when trying to get a tow. Im a one man crew (residential remodeling/handyman) as well which keeps costs low and prices affordable. 20 years and referrals and existing clients keep me busy.
Completely agree with you.
Before I would pay that I would leave it there and report it stolen.
I’ve known more than a “few” that’s done exactly that. 😊👀
Nice to see you crossing that puddle just to get some dirt and say it was "some situation" 😂
Wow the whole cavalry's being called
New subscriber here, enjoy your channel. quick question, what tires are you running on the jeep?
Toyo open country
We do a lot of pavement driving before going off road
So a good all terrain is best for us
Right on brother! You tell um! 😁
Hello everybody my father owned a towing company we would go anywhere to help anybody to get out we weren't overpriced he was very reasonable with this pricing more of a good laugh at seeing some of the places people thought they could get into and then out of we pulled a guy off Lake Simcoe stuck in a pressure crack no other tow truck companies would go out we did it we got them out he was happy he paid us he bought us lunch and he laughed saying he'll never go ice fishing again in this brand new blazer even the news came out and put it on that night everybody seen at 6:00 my father's company pull the blazer off the lake he was the only tow truck company that would go out onto the ice to do this the other truck companies would say call tops he'll go out they'll go out and get you and we did it was always fun new and challenging to get out of places where no man should go or vehicle lmao just my thoughts you're Canadian neighbor peace
Forget the other tow company’s. Politicians should be more like you.
Good job.
Keep up the good work as most of the time the towing companies will not send any one to do the jobs that you do
Even a Subaru Outback with a winch could have done the work .
Good Business!!!!!
He thought he had a 4 runner. LOL
he thought he had 4wd, but didnt have locking difs
Now that's a brave man to drive an SUV into that hole lol. But no winch ?
Was out having a fun day with his wife
Shout to the kids for drinking water🔊💙💯
Nice of you to do it for half the price!😂😂
Doesn’t that guy have any friends with a winch? Lol
im willing to guess no, since they were stuck for like four hours before calling us
People suck! We have the same upsellers in our trade.....companies use scare tactics to sell way more than what the customers need. I provide options, everything I do is recorded & its a 100x better feeling knowing you helped & saved a customer money rather than taking them for a ride
...in my opinion!
Decently capable vehicle if he had better tires and then just to be safe through a come along in the back and a good long strap.
I'm glad that guy with a 2wd ranger hasn't shown up to say he would have made it 😂😂😂
You forgot hazmat for auto fluids that leak in the river
Ya that’s another 104k
I've been stuck like that before but worse on top of that I was stuck there for 2 days that's why when I see a hole like that now I throw a stick into it and check it
@@alexeatonexploresamerica5511 So agreed. River crossings I walk BEFORE driving. Ounce of prevention.....
You could hire me next time to go out there and that ankle deep water and hook up the rescue equipment
I live near Richloam and you don't go alone.
Love the sarcasm.
New subscriber here.
Having already watched some of your videos, convinced me to subscribe. I’m impressed with your obvious skills and knowledge in this specialised field. I ran a heavy salvage/recovery and rescue business for 30 years (now retired) yet l like to watch others how they go about their “challenges”. I miss doing this kind of work but back problems forced me to call it quits.
You obviously put your mind into gear and approach your job with aplomb. Its great to watch a man think his method of “attack” as l used to call it, back in the day. 😊
Watching from Australia. 🦘🇦🇺🦘
Thanks for the sub
We started this up because off road guys were being ripped a new one when they got stuck
Because the problem is you need something small to get to them but need power to get them out
So wrecker companies started buying bobcats then putting a $60,000 winch box on it and charging a great amount to go out and get people
I was like man there is a much more cost effective way to do this
I was told I didn’t know what I was talking about
We started this company 1 year ago in December
@@OffRoadRecoveryLLC
You remind me so much of myself, as l started out my business more or less the same way as you and for exactly the same reasons too. My business grew, as no doubt your will too.
One worthwhile tip, resist the temptation in getting/expanding your business too big, especially when it comes to employing others. I found that with employees, most won’t have the same work etiquette as you and that can spell a lot of trouble, both with employees amongst themselves and you, the boss and your customers satisfaction. Another disadvantage with employees, is the fact that many will want to come and work for you so they can learn as much as possible from you, then eventually/maybe, they will branch out on their own and then start competing against you!!
Its a tough life in the cut-throat business of towing and recovery and only the diligent and shrewd business person will survive. I did and you will too, as you’re honest and you know exactly how to tackle every job, effectively and most importantly, safely.
Seeing a happy customer let’s you know they are happy with your service.
Word of mouth advertisement of your business is priceless. 👍👍
@@brianwalker1933 we have had 100’s of people contact us for jobs
We do not want to hire anyone
The plan is the wife will be full time videographer for the channel
Our oldest son will be the helper
And stay small and family owned no employees outside of family is our goal
What does this kind of recovery cost from your company? If just stuck and not much else. I wheel a lot and was thinking of adding you.
I honestly thought that was going to be what the state was going to charge including hazardous material cleanup due to fuel spill and damage to the environment. That is common but a private tow company like that deserves to be out of business and collecting a state check every month
That is DISGUSTING business ethics any wrecker would know it will take 1 truck and a strap or winch, you would never need all the personel and 4 wreckers!???? Why!??? But what angers me is I know this from doing off-road recovery for fun!! So I know the wreckers know as well which means they lied to the customer thst all that equipment would be needed to justify and asinine amount of money and they know what a stress and worry thst puts on the customer , they fear they won’t be able to get their car back, if this wrecked says it’s this hard, no one else will be able to do it easier. They’re pissed iff thst you, the Matt’s off-road recovery , the trail mater Moab trail recovery guys are SO busy becasue they are amazingly reasonable , normal tow prices for insane recoveries . Paul takes a job In Moab on one of the toughest trails in both Moab and the world where a Jeep wrangler JLUR ripped its front axle out. Paul took his off-road wrecker , 1950’s custom rock crawler wrecker lockers front and rear he takes his off-road tow truck hits the trail head driving a tow truck in impossible ways, lifts up the front of rhebheeo no axle or tires drag him out on scary ass trails thst most won’t and does this at normal rates.
The companies complaint about YOUR business model, being honest and fair with everyone.
That 40k sum is whats is known as a scam.
Regarding the red vehicle. Someone is overzealous reaching for the sky, to have used that in that place. You don't go there without a beefy set of mud 40s on portals...and not your generic noname red 4x4 with street tires
a come along costs $40 and could save your ass in a case like this. doesnt take much space in your truck either. just ignore attacks from tow companies, there's more bad ones out there than good ones. one in orlando even destroyed my car and wrecked my neck permanently while operating with no insurance(towlando towing).
I agree where were you going without a self-recovery winch come along something you were on a wing and a prayer
Or at least walk the puddles before driving into
Can you show a video where you come into contact with an alligator or water moccasin during a job? You mentioned this does happen. Great videos. Thanks
Owner should of left the car there and reported it stolen 😂
Streets tires no lift kit, crazy.
As a general ballpark, what would a recovery like this one cost the customer?
Always tried to figure out why it its that people don't understand.. Just because you have any sort of vehicle with alleged 4wd, you can drive wherever you want and you'll be fine...
Walking and reflecting is good for ya
Yep, they had a few hours of gods country
You forgot the environ-mental response team.
Growing up, we'd throw a chain around a tree and using a come-a-long pull the vehicle out of the water/mud. Cost would be just a little elbow grease.
You would think the tow company would be grateful for the work but that amount is just a way to avoid work
The particular tow company owner claims osha requires him to send that much gear to keep everyone safe
$39,750 of that was an idiot surcharge
Thank God. I thought for a split second you were gonna charge 40k
Nice place to play.
Helpful hint. Trucks get stuck in the mud. Really.
If you quoted me 40k. Id take it personal.
$40K???
That's ridiculous
Absolutely outrageous
@@OffRoadRecoveryLLC I could drive down there from my house in WI, do the recovery and drive home for 1/4 of that and still make big bank for myself. I'm guessing that company doesn't realize they are never going to see any jobs if they quote insane prices. Must be smoking the good stuff.
Half the time we go off roading we are looking for people. Do the same thing during winter on the roads. Go out in the Dually with all the gear and cruise around. No the Dually does not do too much off roading but it does occasionally. It is capable but too wide for the trails. Need a chainsaw and a winch. My friend had bought a jeep for doing this but he beat the shit out of it... Broke both diffs and blew the engine. I fixed both diffs but then he sold it because of the engine. I told him to keep it as I had an engine to swap into it. Oh well.
I've had to pay for a tow basically a 2' winch and got charged $500.
We do easy ones at $150
40k?? My AAA would have done that and probably offered me to lunch.
With that many trees around, he had plenty of spots to winch off of... If he couldn't self-recover there, then he has no business driving on anything that is not paved roads... Even a hand winch / come-along could have gotten him out...
its florida the land of the unprepared
@@OffRoadRecoveryLLC -- Considering his body shape, I suspect that is the longest walk he has ever had to do... ;)
I'm not always prepared for anything that might come my way, but I'm pretty good at improvising with what is available and convincing my wife that I actually *know* what I'm doing... :)
What I hate is when you're out in a field/pasture that looked solid, but all of a sudden you sink down and there's not a tree withing 1000 ft in any direction... One of those "awh, SHIT" moments...
I see why they would charge that. They would have that many hours getting it all that equipment to the area lol.
They still be loading everything up by the time we made it back home and made a pot of coffee
Love your channel, Matt. And your team. Kudos
If a towing company told me 40 thousand I can buy another vehicle for that
Did you add dry cleaning for your clothes?
🤣 no I forgot that one
you do good work, hope i never need you, but i do have your number saved! keep it up!
I keep wondering what kind of crazy people get themselves into these dire situations with a city car and concrete road tires?
I would invest in a winch and terrain tires!
I guess he was able to get rid of the body before the tow guy got there.
I'm pretty sure an airlift would be cheaper than $40,000.
Going to go off roading person should have their own winch ..that tow could have paid for a winch
This dude was out wheeling by himself and no buddy? Musta been heading out to check on his gorilla grow out in the woods, lol😂😂😂
him and his wife were just having a relaxing ride, in this forrest you can go 80 miles without touching a single drop of mud, but turn down the one trail and it will swallow a truck sitting on 44's.
@@OffRoadRecoveryLLC good thing my prius is on 44.5s
For 40k I would have left it there
Well a 2wd with bald street tires should have of been back there
This is why you don't take a car 4wheelin! Cars are for highways , freeways malls!
Its kinda funny most of the videos i watch people just need a rope come along 300 ft of rope and a few pulleys and some time. You can move anything with 1500lbs of force. If it does not move add a pulley and try again basicly if you have a 1500lb come along every pulley adds 1500lbs of pulling power 4 pulleys will pull a 20" poplar down and completely out of the dirt but it is a lot of cranking
