Pro tip: if you have xtra empty pallets, and have a gap in between your load. You can use the empty pallets flip them side ways put them in between the gap. And use them as load stabilizer so your load won't move or shift.

Thats a great idea, I never thought of that! You know what else would help? How about a pallet jack that is easier to use, that uses a joystick instead, that handle contraption is absolutely useless in tight spaces.

He might be driving NON-CDL, so that explains his lack of pallet jack ability. Having said that, I gotta say that long handle is absolutely useless within tight spaces. I think those things would be far easier to use, using a joystick control instead.

Ya, I know!

You know he’s overloading the truck. The spring in the passenger side rear has recently been replaced. They probably load it to the max and it bottoms out then the tires rub on the box. It’s a way for a company to use 26k GVW trucks and not have to pay for the 35K GVW weight fee charged by the state. Also doesn’t require their drivers to have a CDL.

Something fishy here. Broken left spring with the whole load on the right? Maybe someone knew that spring was broken before they loaded it?

Good job Alex. You explained the issues very well. He actually loaded that box truck knowing the spring was broke? Jeez! I wonder why the side of the road has such a steep grade making any truck foolish enough to load there a teeter-totter?

Reasonably surprised those pallets managed to stay sitting on that curb the whole time you were there.

Buenas noches, Alex , un buen video , y un gran trabajo, todo lo tienes bien pensado, tu compañero también hizo una buena labor, saludos.❤👍👏🖐️💪🇪🇦.Jesús.

Is it possible this drive already knew the leaf spring on the driver side was broken and so compensated by placing the load on the passenger side hoping to be able to operate the truck still? He could practice a bit more on that pallet mover too. That was entertaining!

💯 he knew it was messed before leaving his yard. But these people don't care because its totally acceptable in their country

Our truckies in our country are taught this in Driving Schools Class 5 you need to find a firm (trucking) firm for the last class which (5) Driving schools don't do that thanks for this Alex interesting lesson for all. Cheers our police would ping the driver & the firm be ordered off the road until fixed.

WOW that was a burger this time good work you all 👍👍👍👍👍😊

Not sure I understood why you felt the need to offset the hook height on the frame rails. Once you lift the chassis, the broken spring is take completely out of the equation and the load will be balanced between the lift hooks and the front suspension. It may have looked off while still parked just due to the crown of the road, but shouldn't have been an issue. If nothing else, I think I would have put a binder on the suspension (both sides) so that the rear axle didn't drag due to the broken spring. Moving to the front after blocking the rear axle made sense though, because of the load weight to stabilize the tow.

@mikepaul3959

Yeah, what he said. Why worry about the spring or the unbalanced load if you are lifting with the wrecker from the rear of the frame (or does the wrecker lift rotate horizontally?)?

Those safety chains look so tiny to what we are used to with Hulk and Big Flipper.

@JoseAcosta-hr9js

14 күн бұрын

Those are 3/8" G7 chains with a Working Load Limit of 6,600 lbs. Both add up to 13,200 lbs. The front axle on that bobtail is approximately 9,000 lbs. California law requires that tow truck safety chains must be able to secure 150% of the towed vehicle's weight. This is a 26,000 lbs. vehicle and 1.5 times the weight is 39,000 lbs. Each chain's Breaking Strength is 4 times the WLL which is 26,400 lbs. Two chains add up to 52,800 lbs. , which is 13,800 over the 150% of the towed bobtail. Using a chain's breaking strength is only allowed by law on safety chain application in California. Hope I got this right. Lol !

Wonder how long the pallets stayed there until someone picked them up

Ever considered getting Police to help close the sidewalk in these scenarios? Just in case it goes over?

Sherwood Park wind just stared, nothing nasty yet.

How did he point out the broken leaf springs before alex even looked at it, he obviously knew it was busted beforehand

Red t-shirt guy hasn't got a clue whats he doing😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

As a 45 year truck mechanic finding trucks driving around with broken springs is common since it does not get inspected very often.

awesome

Maybe I'm an old cynic but it feels like they used the truck knowing it had a broken spring, and loaded everything right to avoid that. Hmm. Otherwise why tie the empty pallets and not the heavy stuff? Though those you rescue do often rely on friction (and prayer) a lot.

saw this in 70's tractor trailer had a left turn on a downhill in an industrial park company had ads for loading crew the next day

Cheaper to call road service and change the leaf spring on the spot

I had a load of Cat Engines on ny semi trailer. We went all the way the from Pick Up in MN to the drop yard in SC. NEVER in 22 yrs had a load shift. I heard a loud thud but didnt know what it was till i dropped the trailer and it was leaning to the right. I hurry and hooked back up to that bad baby and stayed attached. Company sent a wrecker service oit who said they could NOT do anything. So my company had me drive 50 miles at 40MPH to the yard so their shop could unload and reload and BLOCK each engine!

Ohhhh shift! Talk about rocking your load with a broken leaf spring on a drainage grade. Points at broken leaf spring and I say, "Well there's your problem." He gonna need more then a tow, he gonna need a truck repair.

Mr Josh you need to put something of PAPI CHULO JOE like on a coffee mug ❤ I'd get one or two

Sure, we have trucks with lift gates. Not all trucks have them here just as not all trucks in the UK and EU have them. Those that are intended to load from the ground have them. Those that are intended to load from docks often don’t. If you are having a carrier pick up and deliver a shipment, you must specify if the pick up and delivery sites have docks so the right truck is used.
