How to do everything WRONG. Stranded in a snowstorm on the mountain

  • I don't want to bash on or talk negatively about this particular driver, but this is a perfect case of how to do everything wrong. A lot happened before I even turn the camera on, but between not following directions, walking blindly into traffic, walking behind my wrecker as I'm backing up, calling multiple tow companies, purposely ignoring chain laws, and complaining about the price that you had already agreed to.. I had no patience on this job. It was basically a textbook example of how to put yourself in a bad situation, and make everything more difficult.

    Not even sure that can be called bashing the driver. You are giving a real time example of what it takes to do your job. That driver is a real world example of the obstacles you have to overcome to do it. Just another example that people should not always act on everything we think is right and sometimes listen to the pro’s we have hired to do something.

    That's the sort of customer you really don't need. Reminds me of a video that went viral in the UK when a recovery guy turned up to change a tire. Not only did the customer try to cancel the entire job, but the tow company driver refused to fit the tire but still left it with them for someone else to fix. The customer ended up climbing up in the recovery guy's truck, and then walked in the busy traffic lanes o to try to stop him leaving. It just escalated down from good intent to bad intent. I've always thought that being rescued is a privilege, not a right.

      How much about driving truck can be taught in 4 weeks especially by companies who have you with a trainer for 4 weeks cut you loose on your own and after 6 months of solo driving if you want a raise you can become a trainer I was lucky to grow up in trucks learning to move them around our yard and in the fields as soon as I could reach the pedals (never on the backroads around the farm) I still continue to learn if a situation arises I've never seen I'm not afraid to ask around and learn something instead of screwing up and trying to explain to the insurance man and owner of what I'm hauling how shit got tore up and I'm about to semi-retire as a professional tourist and just stick to the farm trucks and my yearly derbycar loads from the desert and Texas to the land of salt cancered cars

    It comes down to the age-old triangle of Speed, Quality and Cost. Can only have 2. To show up and have him out in 15 min and not damage or affect his situation in any way ticks the Speed and Quality mark so with that comes Cost. With Casey's knowledge, expertise and equipment you can expect top notch service, but it comes at a cost (as it should). Pick your worth. Go cheap and have another vehicle stuck with you and potential damage to the tractor. Pretty simple.

    As a firefighter I’ve found that people driving by you on the side of the road will drive way too fast around a scene because they’ve got no idea what it’s like to work on the side of a highway. People don’t realize that driving 30 mph past a scene seems reasonable to them, but when you’re standing on the side of an icy road it’s not alright. Things go sideways FAST! We always stay on scene and block for our towing companies and they all seem very grateful for the extra protection. We also help them pull cables and stuff. When you’re on the side of the highway (especially in the dark and it’s icy) you’re all on the same team.

    LOL kinda figured it was a English is not my 1st languange drivers and the ending proved I was right . Alos Truck drivers chain up when the signs say to if you don't want to chain up stay at a Truck stop until the Road deptment does there job . I know Casey prefers to have your business from getting stuck but play it safe .

    As someone who is neurodivergent, I often wonder how so many normal folks can't even be bothered to use even half of their brains and heed instructions, and think, when most of the rest of us that can use our brains and think (sometimes too much/over think) but I'd rather have that than those that can't be bothered to think much, if at all.
    You and Ethan did well on this one, difficult customer or no and no one got harmed, though to be honest, if you had hurt his feelings (by bashing), it's be the guy's fault, not yours so it's not an issue with me.
    It's the holier than thous like the guy who announced he was leaving you because you didn't bleep out Jesus Christ, but did bleep out the F word. Come on I say, get a life for once.

    Too many people have no respect for the ENTIRE job. If the guy wanted to only pay you for 15 minutes he should have at least had the courtesy to get stuck right next to where your tow truck was parked!!!
    Years ago I was called to a customer site for a network outage. Took the entire morning to determine the problem. Laughably the fix was literally 5 seconds. I billed them for the morning. A/P calls my A/R department says: "I know it took him 5 seconds to fix it. I'm only paying for 5 seconds. Please re-bill." So we worked the math and billed them for the same amount but stated on the invoice: "5 seconds of billable time to fix network problem." I got a call from the owner. Guy was laughing his a** off. "I know there is a story here, do tell!" He paid the bill and thanked me for my assistance! Told me in the future if the A/P lady was being that way to just contact him. LOL!

    I doubt that Casey would answer the question about his charges as he'd then be poached by his competitors. BUT Casey if you wouldn't mind I'd like to know if I'm High or Low. NOTHING about how much either way even if it's just by a few quarters. (Other wise it would give too much away about the charges and the competitors would know too much.
    Going on that you said it was a two hour drive to get there I came up with the round trip being around 170 miles. Going with that I asked my neighbor about his big Volvo truck's mileage is and he said he gets around 7.5 most trips. Being he runs on short hills not doing mountains I cut your mileage down to 7 mpg. Using that I came up with the tractor using around 25 gallons at $4.40 (guestimate for diesel prices there) for $110 fuel cost for it. Then Ethan driving the other truck would probably be around 10 gallons for $44. Then the labor costs......... a real mess (in my mind anyway) on how much you pay yourself and Ethan. Having that said I came out with $125 / hour for the both of you. I figured 5 hours total which makes labor charges $625. Adding all that up I figure that you gave him a quote for between $775.
    As for @MUSTANGGT12 is that a real question about the chains on the tailor? ALSO in you calling as many tow companies as you can you should know that any of them that show up will probably charge you.

    • @CaseyLaDelle
      @CaseyLaDelle  7 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      That’s my minimum charge if you were stuck in the ditch just outside my driveway. For something like this you can double it. You’re forgetting about the $300k truck that costs $20k per year to insure, well over $1k per month to register, a couple thousand a month to maintain, and has tens of thousands of dollars worth of gear in it. Doing that job for $1,000 would be losing money.
