My 12 ton wrecker is stuck!!!

- I was hired to tow a scrap RV to it’s final resting place in Cane Beds, Arizona.
Bad directions, soft sand, and tight spaces, turned a basic job into a real Shenanigan. Ha ha
After we found the place, I made a quick decision to drop in a safe place and leave.
But then......
After looking the situation over for a minute, I threw my better judgment out the window and started my short journey into trouble.
After sticking my truck a few times In the sand, I was finally able to get back on solid ground without calling backup.

Thanks for watching! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
There's a guy in town that has a yellow Jeep that is good at getting people unstuck. You should have called him.
Savage 😂😂
Well, my first thought was that yellow thing on big wheels. Winder something...
Was thinking the same thing lol.
flagstaffbarn Hahahaha he would of definitely done it
at 10:00 u were going forward...why stop and back up?
I know this is an older video, I'm working my way through the playlist. Jimmy is a great guy, and the fact that people know if they see him walking to pick him up and take him back to the bar is absolutely amazing. I miss towing, I sure think if I was able to work for Matt, I'd probably still be doing it. Just an all around stand up guy.
"No good deed goes unpunished!" this is the best yet, Matt you are a legend, not only helping out but putting up with "Helpful" advice.
That old lady getting the shovel out and helping dig you out herself, hahaha. What a legend.
Better than most of his clients. I've watched a couple lately with hours of stacking rocks. Did you see the younger clients trying to help themselves? Nope.
@@trippb3 was it the prius video? ^^
@@wullxz it's been a while but that sounds familiar. I remember a video where they had to do a bunch of stacking for a prius but I don't remember what the owner did.
@@trippb3 the owner was a woman who went out camping and then confused her way out.
In that video Matt forgot his belt and did the stone stacking almost by himself (with some help from Ed) while the owner always sat somewhere in the shadow.
I imagine it beeing very annoying to run around and stack stones with trousers always going down because you forgot to wear your belt that day. I admire Matt for his endurance ^^
@@trippb3 The owner did FA! Just stood around like a spare part. I watched that prius recovery vid recently!
Matt you are a real role model for how to treat senior citizens. Young men can see how a real man can have patience and be kind to the older generation . Keep up the good work !
“You want me to drive it” lol
No go take a nap hahaha..
Swpa 87 “nah I’m sober”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Offering to help Matt tow a vehicle. ....priceless.
They're probably still sitting there today saying "That wooper snapper of a tow truck driver didn't know what he was doing. Psssh...stuck in the grass for heaven's sake.
Can’t blame jimmy, that 12 ton is so cool.
“No he’s not. That’s not his fault.” “He did good. You did good!’ Love her.
Love the commentary of the old dude.
"Straighten it up. Straighten it up"
"Come back"
"Just loose ground"
"Want me to drive it for ya"
"reckless driving"
Come on, it pure gold xD luckily the lady came to Matt's defence but telling the old guys off.
Amazing work, and love the videos Matt!
Best regards from Denmark. (Probably the flattest county in the world)
Denmark - my favorite country on this planet.😎
"i was born without the fear of spiders or their web, this defect has been a huge time saver in my life" best quote ever.
With out a clue of that RV possibly falling on you
Can tell he's not an Aussie. We don't usually survive that particular lack. :-P
@@aussiebloke609 You do realize that Utah has dangerous spiders too..
1. Black Widow
2. Hobo Spider
3. Desert Recluse
Probably the only one likely to kill is the black widow though.
I do realise. We even have the recluse spider in Oz. But beyond that - the aussie redback is a close cousin to the black widow, and while its venom is very potent, it's also the least likely of the dangerous Australian spiders to actually bite. Then there's the Sydney Funnel Web...a spider with a potentially deadly bite (thankfully, antivenin is readily available these days)...that is aggressive by nature...and loves to make a bed in your shoes, then bite you when you try to get dressed the next morning (and the large fangs can pierce through your toenail if it's in the way.) Or they can be found hanging out in the bottom of the swimming pool. Or just walking around the garden, or in the house after it rains. Listed as probably the most venomous spider in the world - and common in the Sydney suburbs.
And that's why we don't usually survive that particular lack. It's a very common spider, so the odds of getting bitten are just too high.
PS: Any time someone asks about venomous snakes in Oz, the usual response is to not worry about it - because the spiders have killed off most of the snakes by now. While this is a gross exaggeration, there is a kernel of truth to it.
Did anybody else read aussiebloke's response with a Aussie accent or was that just me??
Jimmy is an absolute LEGEND! Spends every night at the Bar just drinking water that's how awesome he is!
Jimmy's input is to stamp down that he still can, old Lady you can see the visit and excitement made her day. That's why I do "Back to the future" to see your channel grow and that there is is still GOOD people out there. Can honestly say if it wasn't for the lock down, I might have missed this Gem of a channel.
I love it man, its like he purposely puts himself where matt cant see him. I work with guys like this every damn day.
Not on purpose, just LAZY AF! How the heck are you suppose to spot someone when they can't see or hear you is beyond belief!!
They do not really wanna anything but holler orders and when you have done what ever type of work it is for over 10 years they love to act if it's your first day.
@@trevors8577 I wasnt thinking about that, I was thinking if he happened to slip or something Matt would have no way of knowing he needed to stop before running something over him.
My brain when Matt got dug in: "who unstucks the unstucker?" Matt: *unstucks himself* Me: "inconceivable!"
I don't think that word means, what you think it means. Lol
Rent a tractor with a bucket and backhoe, impossible to get one stuck if you're being *reasonably* cautious.
@@ihspstanktribe HAHA! I wonder how many people got that joke...
@@johnscotlinksl Not many would be my guess, glad you did, though! 😂
Its so awesome watching you work. You seem to always be smiling. I would probably still be driving a tow truck if the company I once worked for was as good hearted as you are. I'm glad you are keeping the videos coming. You and your crew/family are amazing.
You couldn’t leave it because you have work ethics and integrity!!! You don’t quit until the job is complete because you have integrity!!!
Rare these days.
Perfect example of “no good deed goes unpunished.” Matt you were amazing. Your patience and grace puts you in a category all your own. You are an inspiration to us all.
Go back in 10 years that motorhome will still be sitting there
I am quite sure that is the plan
@Usuzi who is judging? I merely commented that it would appear that the motor home will be permanent in it's new location. If it is not motoring, it can still be a home. I am sure you would agree:)
@Usuzi thank you :)
In the description, the first sentence is "final resting place". It's definitely staying forever as a 2nd home or storage. Lol
No go back in 1 year and it will be attached to the trailer 😂😂😂😂
The world needs more Jimmys, but we can only handle one.
What about me....
I have known a few of his type. You gotta just roll with the punches sometimes!!
Look at your current president lol
For some reason I , it feels so soothing to watch you solve all the little problems in each of your recoveries, Thanks
Good people helping good people. Thank you Matt and crew for keeping the spirit alive.
And not a curse word uttered on camera. These guys are awesome :)
Mormons. They're very polite.👍
@@roscoejones4515 are they Later-Day Saints? I don't know that I've ever seen confirmation of that
@@roscoejones4515 i dont think so with the beard and the caffeine mountain dew. Polytheist Mormons (despite being nice people), are very strict against that stuff.
I was thinking he was a Christian though based on his and family's persona.
@@BAMAJiPS Mormons drink soda and have beards. They just can't have coffee.
Makes me want to move to Utah.
Edit: I believe they are Christian.
Glad to see Jimmy is still going strong. He is one of my favorite People to sit down and chat with.
Been in the towing transport business for 35 years.
You are asset to the profession.
Matt: sneaks gigantic trailer through a maze of corners
Also Matt: almost takes out tree on the way out
Thought that tree was a goner!! Just the landscaping though lol Pin it to win it....braaaaapp
THEtdub77 the old ass crazy guy called him a “wreck less driver” hahah
Key word, Almost
When matt gets stuck he becomes the other matt that gets the original matt out. Seriously impressive how you did this, using what you got to get yourself out
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery I agree your truck is worth more than a little tree Jimmy would really have something to gripe about lol
Just goes to show, what a patient man, Matt is.
I lost my dad and my grandmother to drunk drivers. May God bless Jimmy for all the designated drives he's made over the years. There's no telling how many lives he's saved.
That's a neat old lady. She was good spirits. She loved u Matt big time. Thank God for people like him to drive them drunks home I drive taxi for awhile and did the same thing got them home and safe.
Well I know what to do now if I’m ever driving along in Hurricane and see Jimmy walking next to the road, pick him up and deliver him back to the bar for his next drive 👍🏼
Horses, drama, puzzle solving, and a bit of mud. This episode has it all!
Your buddy has a heart of gold I hope people treat him right and like always I enjoyed your video thank you for sharing God Bless you and your family
"This guy is amazing" She's right on many levels. I first saw your channel a couple days ago with the retrieval of that chevy from the edge of a big dropoff. I'm just blown away at how you keep a positive attitude and stay polite around the customers in the situations you encounter. No drama beyond the actual job, no bad mouthing anyone behind their backs on camera. You're providing honest service for an honest price. Great job, and keep 'er movin'!
That's the first video I watched as well (Chevy PU on a 36 degree slope). Now I'm hooked. I don't have Matt's patience. I used to have his attitude, but unfortunately, not anymore. And the places he'll go is just phenomenal!
WHAT? ,,,,,Why would one be any different? Apparently you have never been in business for yourself,,,,all issues ARE the boss’s problem. (And yes I have been in business for 37 years)
u have got to be the coolest damn recovery driver out there, i hope u keep on doing well forever
It takes a good man to be that patient to a nice old lady trying that hard to "help"...
The great thing about Matt having so many videos I get to watch them a year later again.
Something tells me Ed would not put up with Jimmy.
I don't think I could put up with him either...
give Ed a cigarette and he'll get along with anybody
@@kalanikaau1 I sure couldn't
"......That sip, sip, sip shits gotta stop!" Funniest thing ever to come outta Ed's mouth.
I don't remember which video it was but it you've seen it you know what I mean. : )
More vids of Jimmy please...lol
I am so impressed with how well you perfectly backed that RV into that tight space.
i had two smaller dually dump trucks and i was surprized how easy they got stuck
great video! your designated driver buddy is a life saver god bless him
I get mine stuck in wet grass lol
Yeah anything softer than hard packed dirt with a root system, they sink awful fast. Speaking from experience in a 4x4 f450 dump truck. Without the 4x4 I would've needed a tug lol
"How'd it go?"
"We ain't out yet."
Had to explain to my girlfriend why a tow video was making me laugh that hard.
The old man called you a reckless driver😁😁 its because you didnt let him drive the truck lol..i loved the video👏👏
Yes this old man is reckless with he direction
He was think he will taken it out
He will mest up there
Mentor he is a scrapdealer not a tow trucker
He haven his job he must leave tow for professional like Matt
Yes this was shocking to see he will given orders and this old women help to dicking
Me love it where she said to Jimmy he isn't mad
Thanks friend Mentor you helps you self out there
Good recover day
My God bless you
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery Actually I thought I heard him say, "Wreck-Less."
Bless you for appreciating the Jimmys of the world.
Who would of thought watching towing and recovery videos would be so entertaining. Ron Pratt's videos are good too but his is mostly big stuff with a rotator. Your Jeep videos are cool.
Ron Pratt has got playlists of tons of other style recoveries. Including 12 ton stuff just like this. I’d recheck it... but yes, both great channels.
Every small town has a Jimmy! God bless him!
Matt, don’t you worry- Jeep#3 is on the way to get you out! Be there in about 20 hours 😄Have my uniform too! 😉❤️🐞
I'm checking out your channel It's a Bug's Life. You have a lot of Jeep content. 👍👊💪
M H - in my Zmoon Lights install video I get (and open) presents from Matt! And I give him a big shoutout! He’s been cheering me on for a while 😃👍
So if I get stuck in Washington can I call you to come rescue me in Jeep #3. If the answer is yes. I will be getting stuck ASAP! 😍
Hole - I was literally just about to type the same comment!!! 🤣 maybe she can do a 2fer! I’d get stuck on purpose all the time!
Matt. I've been watching for awhile. I'm amazed every time I see what that jeep can do. I'm retired from Chrysler Transmission Plant, Kokomo, IN. That transmission may have started out from that plant. Keep those video's coming. Love it! Central Indiana, USA God bless America!
Matt
We enjoying watching your videos 👌
it's better than watching TV
You should hire that old guy he seemed helpful with all his good tips and hey he even offered to drive 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Every rescue is a new adventure. Your added ways to rescue yourself adds a new dimension to why not! Love it.
I drove a flat bed in Sacramento California for many years. There was a program called "tipsy tow" that a few tow companies would help out with on new years eve and now I belive they doit for two or three more holidays now but if you drank to much you would call a number that the bar had on the counter top and a tow truck would come get your car and yourself of course 44⁴and take you home free of charge!! Lots of DUI's and crashes happen because the person did not want to leave their car somewhere so this was a pretty cool option to have. And for free to I mean come on!! I could go on for hours with some of the rather interesting stories that would take place just on new years eve alone doing that job!! Anyway thanks to the people that created the tipsy tow and thank you Jimmy for helping out and keeping the streets a little safer for everyone!!
Footage of the old lady using the inversion table in the front yard would have made this video get 5 million views
You just want to see her fun bags
Ive never seen one of those inside a structure. I think they only exist in backyards
The old man called you a reckless driver😁😁 its because you didnt let him drive the truck lol..i loved the video👏👏
I am glad to see the driver went out of his way to try to please the customer and he did a great job of getting himself out of a stuck area
You poor bastard. I feel for ya!
Your customer service skills are an inspiration, a true professional. Enjoy your videos. Well done!!
I have watched a ton of your videos. This once confirmed what i felt watching them. Your a kind man
Matt is a good dude. Tons of patience p
Lady: "Blast your horn, I want to see how the horses react.
Horn: (blasts)
Horses: "Srsly?"
Lady: "Not bad!"
:-)
Sometimes when you try a little more just get it right it bites you but we always get out of it that’s what makes the story great job
That's what I call serious good service that customer thought it was some magic to just put that thing wherever you want with ease. Picked the right guy to do it.
I will say my friend. You are the absolute greatest person at backing up trailers! You made it look like a piece of cake.
She led you right on top of the septic field and you fell right in😂
Yep that's s good field for u play ground
It's insane to me how soft that is for being so dry. Shows you the difference between where you guys are and Maine. I feel your pain though.I used to get my flatbed stuck once a week in the winters up here. There's a reason I'm so good at recovery and it's because I'd get daily practice with getting myself unstuck
I really appreciate the fact that you don't take your surroundings for granted. When the guy helping with the brake cylinder asked if the call you got was going to be an all day thing, you said "yeah but you'll see some county" was cool.
I bet you are glad you brought Jimmy. You probably could not have done it without all his help. He sure worked hard. 😉
He was always sitting down haha..bt he made us happy so he was important i guess 😁
gotta be some good desert packrat action going on in that thing! Upside, in that climate, like here in deserts of AZ, that coach has got another 20+ years before it self-implodes.
This was the first ever MORR Video I watched and what got me hooked! It’s amazing to see how far they have come, hitting 1,000,000 subscribers just the other day!!
Drive line or prop shaft (short for propeller shaft in the Uk), I was a truck mechanic working for ExxonMobil for five years, before moving to ExxonMobil Refinery, Southampton, Uk for 30 years as a Process Leader in the Refinery , ran the offsites operation from a massive control room,. Loved every minute of it, apart from the 13 hour night shifts, and Christmas days!
Yep, I know a "jimmy" where I live... if I say I'm going over to help with something my fam expects me to be gone for the day!
15:31
Jimmy what ya eating?
-have some
No no I don’t eat Stuff
I tell you what. I think you are just a great, caring, and down to earth guy. If I ever get out that way, I plan to stop an meet you in person. You just roll with it, no matter what a job throws at you. Calm, and even keeled. Keep the videos coming. Oh, and your friend there is a class act as well. Bringing people home, and walking back to the bar to help the next person get home safe. I kinda want to come live up there. But, the earth there is too tricky. I'll stay here in my swamps. Have a great day.
"Want me to drive it?" I have a pretty good idea who would make it into Matt's top 3 personalities that have ever appeared on the channel ! LMAO 🤣 Oh and Matt, stop driving so out of control, especially when you're in someone's backyard and it's your own truck you're driving! 😂
Camera man: Jimmy what are you eating? Jimmy: "Hear take one"...camera man: oh I dnt eat stuff 😂😂
AD101 Coz the one he offered was already in his mouth lol! (Matt got a fresh one from his pocket at least).
I laughed so hard at that lol.
you never know what jimmy has.... or what it could be, matt is a brave man
Wow, what a character, touched my heart to hear his story. Love to watch your videos, very interesting and sometimes quite stressful to watch , some of the situations had me sitting up and tensing my stomach as if it will help you......but it is all cool, thanks
You might not know computers, but man, you have an amazing mind!! You think in a way many of us can’t! I’m always blown away with what you come up with!! Keep up the awesome, friendly, hard work you do! 🤓God bless!!🙏🏼🕊
The lady I know, from Garden Valley, CA. She live trapped feral cats, got them fixed and found homes for them. A very neat lady. She looks like she is having fun in her new home.
This was one of the most amusing ones to date!! Man, I loved that elderly woman!! She was good stuff, and knew her horses. This might seem like a small thing, but big ups to you Matt, for taking that Lifesaver from Jimmy! I was ashamed that your cameraman refused it. He didn't have to eat it, but accept an offering with grace, like Matt did!! It is my hope that I get to meet Matt and Ed in my lifetime. I wish I knew about you when I was living in Kingman, AZ a few years ago. I was through Hurricane several times, on business. I would have driven up on my days off, just to meet everyone, especially Ed. I have been Mapquesting the distance now. I am about 20 hours away, across the country. Would it be weird to plan a vacation just to get to have a short conversation with Ed? I am considering it!!
Ikr those life savers are actually my favorite
That RV is clean for its age
Watched a long flatbed tow truck driver try to flip a u-turn at the top of a mountain, off to the side of the road there was a ditch and he backed into it and the back tires were floating off the ground while the front tires and flatbed sat on the ground. Driver hopped out of the truck, extended the flatbed, and pushed himself out of the hole with the bed before i could offer help, this video reminded me a lot of that experience 😂
The new videos are so much more polished. Love this old content, shows your roots.
When you're in soft ground you need to start moving with the front wheels straight. Every time when you got in trouble it was because the wheels were cut. You've got a really tight cut angle with that truck which is great but its like a brake when you go to start moving. Let it move, even an inch BEFORE you turn the wheel.
It's amazing how worthless in general heavier duty trucks are off-road. Any two wheel drive passenger car with bald tires could make that turn. Front wheel drive or rear wheel drive.
Ol jimmy signature glasses with his blue/green chums
My Wife Loves your Channel , Especially when you make Lil' Ol' Ladys Happy...
Many blessings , SMR
Love your videos, wish all tow truck drivers were as kind and patient as you are sir!
You should invest in some maxtrax. Keep some on the truck to help for this very situation and makes recoveries a whole lot easier.
Make sure to post the video of Matt singing karaoke!
Drinking water and towing everyone home.
I have to comment...that old man saying "reckless driver" when you hit the rocks around the tree and that sweet lady that defended you...she is awesome...the way you stayed so calm you must have real good blood pressure. Awesome video and also thumbs up.
That is a smart old woman. I like how she tested the horses with the truck horn.
We took a different view than Jimmy. We'd call the tow company and tell them "our car's too drunk to drive home, and you'll have one passenger".
A $50 tow bill later, we'd wake up in our own bed, and our car would be in the driveway. WAY cheaper than a taxi back and forth, and definitely cheaper than a DUI.
Steven Keeffe You gave me one hell of an idea I have been forced into expensive (but great) car insurance, next time I’m driving myself to a bar not any of those taxi/ bus nonsense. And when I want to go home I’ll just rekt a tire, call a tow truck get a new tire and drive home 24/7 and I already have paid for it either way.
Yea, somewhere we lived (think it was Anchorage Alaska) did that and advertised on the radio as such. Your drunk and we'll pick you and your car up and bring them home for a flat rate.. Suppose it was MUCH better and more lucrative than picking up the pieces from drunks who drove and crashed as not every drunk will crash but if they all call the tow truck $$
must be more tow services than taxis in your area, 60-100$ is the average short distance easy tow here and taxis are 7-8$ for about a 5-10 min drive and 25$ from downtown which is about 30 mins
worth a lil extra to wake up without the anxiety of finding your car though
AAA membership gets you 4 free tows per year
A slice of real life.. Nothing fancy but interesting and fun
At 5:45 awesome backing up skills and manuvering you can tell this guy here has towing experience. Nice work !!! 👍
That lil lady is awesome! Great job Matt, well done. God bless. 🇺🇸
Also no fear that a vehicle could drop on top of you
Neat use of the wheel lift.
I loved Jimmy giving directions. This whole video is great.
This is the first video I watch from you. Now I watch them all.
You done well to get out of there. 👍🦘🇳🇿
When Motorhomes become homes. I could have watched an hour of this!
Matt's too nice to get his rig stuck in that tight corner. What matters is he got out, and he didn't tear up the yard.
Can we please.... please get some more Jimmy. He's made for TV. Maybe, possibly get him a regular role in the show? That'd be awesome.
you wernt stuck just tractionaly challanged
Awesome comment !!
You've got some great videos my friend but this one makes me say you're my hero.
You are a hard working honest man. Your kids are gonna be proud of you mate. 👍🏻
@@MattsOffRoadRecovery you're welcome :) love your videos, can't get enough of them.
Matt you are too good of a person! Those people you help are blessed to have a.person.like you in that area that cares! Besafe out there
This guy seems to be a good man.. you wouldn't believe the old people that get took advantage of by the younger guys!
