My first vid with you guys was in the mountains pulling the low-boy with the CAT 657. Still my favorite video. I worked for CAT 33 yrs in Decatur, IL

WE WANT TO SEE THE TOW OUT PART TOO. 👌🏼👌🏼 I FIGURED “THE LITTLE TRUCK GUY” WAS GONNA TOW IT 😁👌🏼

Awesome recovery and God-bless everybody

Poor trucker's having a REALLY bad day. One of those "When it rains, it pours" kind of bad days.

I love those snatch blocks.

Thank you for making this video and letting it see me.

Great job again Dustyn buy you and the boys. Take care and be safe. Greg

He was lucky it didn't go over as soft as that shoulder was! Good job getting him pulled out!

Awesome recovery! Have a great day!

There was no doubt here!!!

I don't think that ole boy realized just how close he came to floppin er over!

Thought it was going to go, once a load shifts, all bets are off. Just like the fuel shifting, all the crap in the tanks heads to the filter. This truck also has a safety shut off? I believe it's new enough, that when the truck leans far enough, the computer gets a message from the sensor saying shut down, minimizing the fuel spill catching fire 🔥. That's a safety that came from trucks going over , at least the fuel won't pump, the engine won't run or seize up. Saving the insurance $s. 👍😎

Not only that it is better to have two trucks in that situation anyway.

I enjoyed the video, but is this from a couple of years ago ? I am sure I remember it.

I was thinking the exact samething. Two things that stood out to my memory was the black out truck and you stating the officer tried pulling him over in town.

Hey Dustyn !! Bad for him as "traffic "" ticket & Tow billing besides !! NO fuel too as how far to a fuel stop ?? Great work on your part with Mike & Crew !! Have a good week !!

Well that's just a rookie move by the driver...neverpull over onto a soft shoulder even if a cop is wanting you to...🤪

seems to be more towing/ recovery "experts" commenting on this recovery than most Ive seen.

He had a bad day times 3. Good video y'all. Question, once the drives were on hard ground why didn't Michael just lift and rotate the trailer? Just curious. Stay safe and God bless.

Road Pirates causing trouble for everyone.

I would set to rotator up a little farther back and rigged around the landing gear it’s stronger than the pockets in the front and wrapped higher in the rear it would gave you more lift in the lower side.

i'm no recovery guy, but i would do this with only one towtruck. first start with the trailer, lifting back to he road second pulling form the front and side of truck...

Hi are you going do a walk around your rotator

just looked at your underwater recovery, Dustyn take a look at adventures with purpose to see how it's done.

You have a rotator but only used it as a winch truck. Lift the back onto the road & then winch the front up. Faster, one truck, less rutting the shoulder. Just my opinion, of course. Always enjoy your videos!

I suspect... it may be down to cost on the part of the company.. they want the truck out but want to pay the least amount possible hence the winch out from the rotator as it is the biggest truck available to dead winch.. If it needed to be lifted.. i suspect thats higher on the recovery money scale.

@@oddtechman I dunno, if I owned a recovery company and a rotator goes out on a job, I'd be billing rotator rates even if it's just used as a straight winch. Any job it goes out on where its capabilities aren't needed means its not available if a job comes up where it is needed.

@@ferthur01 jobs are levied at set rates by the state i do believe according to requirement.. a wrecker firm cant just charge what they like sadly (this does vary state by state though so i cant comment on where these guys are based). Wreckers have to recover regardless if they are called and if a driver say doesnt have insurance, then the wrecker firm have to take it payless. Its one of the joys of the job.. you win some, you lose some

@@ferthur01 Like i say.. rates vary state by state.. some states impose set tarrifs and unless a rotator is specifically requested for a lift.. than it can usually be dispatched for a winch.. if on scene it then needs to lift, this then has to go to negotiation between the wrecker firm and insurer/driver firm to work out the extra costs.. again.. state / firm dependant :)

30PSI air would have moved the fuel back across and then use air to release truck & trailer brakes.

That guy had himself a bad day.

Well, that was an expensive way to learn to check your mirrors often....

This may be a dumb question, but why couldn't you pick up the trailer with the rotator, and move it over 10 feet into the road, then pull it forward?

you get to know what each brand of truck requires. Kenworth, Peterbuilt, Freightliner, Volvo Ect. low oil pans & Intercoolers radiators SUCK.

Why not put the rotator to work and light the trailer out of the rut and put it back on the road? Then pull around and pull tractor out on to road and tow it out of the road?

Why didn't anybody bring some fuel to get the truck restarted

I think I said it the last time, but why not pick up the rear of the trailer and set it on the road?

@@spoonfind583 finding the access port is the hardest part. The most common priming jobs we had were for trailer mounted refer units. Guys would park the trailers full, refer running and forget about them. When they'd finally discover they ran out of fuel was a big emergency to get it going quick so they wouldn't lose the load. Those were tougher to get going because they're mounted high up on the trailer. To keep from having to climb up there, I made an adapter so I could hook the service truck's air compressor to the fuel tank and prime it that way.

Saw this one a while ago

So the truck is out of fuel. What about getting 10 gallons of diesel????

Why not get more fuel , he’s going to need it once he is on level ground.

was the driver blind or maybe drunk? how do you not see how steep the side is. stop in the middle of the road and let the cop know. "professional driver"

Now the cop should tear up the ticket and just give a warning, because the driver was penalized enough from the recovery cost caused by the cop in the first place.

Wait a minute! The cop was pulling the truck driver over for a traffic violation. If the driver had not violated a law, the cop would have ignored him. Plus, the cop tried stopping the driver in town, but the driver didn't see him. So all the blame lies with the driver, not the cop!
