Mr. Hal, I first thought you were expanding and adding an Amphibious Wrecker to your group until I saw the customer! Great job teaching Evan care of the customers property.
That fellow was very lucky to find you. When you’re out on the road, honest and reputable assistance is not always available and that is very unfortunate.
Mr. Hal, You saved that guy bacon as not many wrecker services would have done that. This is the reason I like watching your channel as I never know what you guys may be into getting out or hauling. Great job & stay safe out there.
Well Mr Hal, I have to praise you for your good work ethics, because that's how Evan is going to learn and be as good as the rest of you. If we don't try something new, your never going to learn much of anything. It's called making a name for yourself. Be safe and take a little pride in what you do and people will always remember you! Thank for the education, take care 🙂
We used to stop and walk around evey foot of winched in cable ..then stop...put 2x4 and then 4x4 blocks under trailer axles ..raise up trailer ..now it wouldn't scrape the lincense plate..keep on witching..👍😉👍
I never realized how wide those boat trailers are! Good job guys! I'm sure the customer was happy with your quick and courteous service. Especially after he had tried to get others to come help. My Papa always said "You will be surprised what you can do when you try." 😏
Mr Wilbert, another fine job, that man was lucky to get you, they may have gotten someone else and God knows what my have happened, you are a true gentleman Stay Safe
I'm impressed that your customer managed to figure out that there was a problem, before things took a turn for the worse. I used to run up and down 95th street and everybody was going hell-bent for leather with little regard for what might have been wobbling behind them. That place used to be Jerry's 76 before the T/A bought out the former entity. Had a few good meals in the place over the years. They used to have quite a few pictures on their walls, dating back to the very earliest days of doing business. It was always a pleasure to view their "Rogues Gallery" and take in some of the history that they had captured in photos, with the captions and stories to read below each photo. The one that stays in mind the best was of a wicked snowfall back in ( '72? ) the early seventies that virtually paralysed the area with snow piled quite high. High enough to make the snowmobiler in me jealous.
Awesome job Mr. Hal that u and ur helper did on loading the boat and trailer up on the role back nice be safe and always be careful doing what u do each and everyday
This happens a lot this time of year until summer ends, RVs and boats blowing out tires and bearings going out. He called the right people to do the job. Glad you got his taken care of
Ahoy there mate. We got a thin rail also and sometimes stuff just does fit. Being close to the Interstate we snatch a couple of them a month especially this time of year. 9 times outa 10 it's a wheel bearing. You guys made it look effortless as usual. Great job. Y'all take care and God Bless
I heard that license plate scrape what I do when I get them and I get a few! people heading to the keys on the turnpike! block the trailer tires and I use a gaurdrail block under the rear of the trailer walk the truck under the trailer the rear will keep it's hieghth and not dig in and for hooking go to the first cross beam use an endless loop with the cable running along side of the trailer crank put the trailer safety chains around it and the frame it will keep the trailer center and give you more front room to pull up tighter just my way! Hope it will help! stay safe out there 👍🇺🇸
Well I live in orange park Florida he had to go past my town but I hate to see anyone have problems on the road but we all have been there and done that LOL love your videos be safe and have a great day Sam
Your customer was fortunate to catch that before it went catastrophic. Years ago, I was trucking northbound near Longview WA and saw a southbound motorhome with a boat on a trailer a little smaller than that, with no left wheel trailing a shower of sparks behind him. It was quite the sight in evening twilight.
Hey Hal & Evan !! Great recovery !! TOO bad the Customer didn't grease those wheel bearings B/4 they left on that long a haul as those bearings run ""HOT"" as you well know !! 🤔🤠😎👍👍👍👍👍👍
The boat was only staying on the trailer by gravity. hitting something hard would send that boat flying off that trailer like a missile. Tie the back of your boat to your trailer people Great video 😊😊
Does your yard also do repairs such that you could have repaired the axle/wheel bearing for the guy and charged him for the tow and the repair and got him on his way?
Ron you figure out how to do a job right and not getting any body hurt and do it safely and God Bless you and your family and friends and be careful and safe and may the force be with you.
Apparently, certain tow companies don't like boats on trailers, and what you explained to that owner must be why. Last fall, I had a friend call me one morning. His grandson had been moving his boat from his home to his grandfather's house. And had just about made it, when the same thing happened, one county over from his final destination. They told me that they had called every tow company they knew (about 6), and everyone refused the job. So they asked me if I could help get them off of the side of the road. His trailer was a tandem axle so I wound up replacing two disc rotors, 4 sets of bearings and four seals, plus two rear hubs to get them moving (on land), again (yep, two bearings failed and the other two were on the verge of turning loose). Friendly advice to everyone who tows a trailer, You won't damage your trailer if you repack your bearings and correctly set the preload on them at the beginning of the season or at least grease them once a year. Especially on a boat trailer that regularly sees the hubs underwater, and especially if that water happens to be salt water. Not trying to hurt your business Mr. Hal, but you wouldn't believe the number of boat trailers I see broke down on the highway in my part of the country in the spring and summer months. And another thing, most states have laws and most trailer manufacturers recommend that you do not pull a trailer above 45 - 50 MPH. Going 3 or 4 seasons without servicing you trailers axle bearings and then hopping on the Interstate for 3 or 4 hundred miles at 75 MPH is an invitation for problems.
i always recommend cleaning and packing boat trailer bearings, as well as seal replacement at the end of boating season. This prevents any moisture trapped in the hub from rusting/pitting the bearings and races over the extended parking in the winter months.The seal is so important in keeping the grease in and the water out. New seals every time you pack bearings will extend bearing life greatly. My little berg of a city is surrounded by water on 3 sides. I don't own a boat but it seems everyone else around here does.
Never ceases to amaze me how trailer owners balk at doing any kind of pre-trip inspection/serve to them because of whatever reason they have. Wrecker bill costs them way more than any pre-trip would. Then add on the repair bill, or total loss of item. Do like that fold-away tongue on that trailer.
