As an Estes driver that got my license back in June I can say they don’t give you enough training. I did 2 weeks of “school” out of state and drove and practiced pretrips everyday. Didn’t drive on the roads until the second week. After that I got 6 weeks with a trainer. My trainer was awesome and helped me with everything. However had I not come in on weekends to practice driving and my parallel parking I wouldn’t have passed. Luckily I was good friends with most drivers who were as eager to help me as I was eager to learn. Because of them taking the time to help me and me putting in extra time and effort I was able to pass on the first try. That being said I feel like I needed more training.

Hey now, at least it wasn’t a Swift driver.

I've been training drivers more than 20 years and driving commercial trucks 45 years. I always teach new drivers to lock the diffs and axles to prevent the problem, not after you've dug yourself in or slid off the road and it's too late. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Matt and crew...great recovery...good to the boys out on a rescue...

You did the thing that I could only dream of doing to a customers vehicle. Thanks for living my dream. Ford Senior Master Tech.

One of those jobs that looks quick and easy, but unforeseen circumstances get in the way. Blue Steel did great. In the end, it brought that semi out of there all on its own.

Been a truck driver for over 20 years. You can tell this is a rookie driver. You NEVER drive down a tiny gravel driveway without first getting out and making sure you aren't going to put yourself in a bad situation. This driveway was barely big enough for a 28 ft trailer, much less a 53 ft trailer. I'd expect this from a Swift or Fed Ex driver, now I know we can add this Estes driver to that list. Lolz! 🤣

Years ago I was working on my old Dodge van (318 with a 2 barrel carb-OLD!) and resorted to cutting the plastic fan shroud and then drilling holes on either side of the incision and suturing it together with wire when I reassembled it. Worked good! Lasted a long time!👍😀

We all make mistakes, it's only a bad thing if we don't learn from them. I'm sure some embarrassment is probably why he kept messing up more after the crew arrived.

As a truck driver, I can say I didn't like taking a tractor-trailer into tight spaces, either. I'm surprised the power divider didn't help. I could figure out fairly quickly which company it was, given the color of the truck and the wheels. They're the only company I know of off the top of my head to have that color wheels. That said, I'm surprised the company doesn't have a list of companies they could call for situations like this.

If you get one set of wheels on each axle in a low spot it can still get stuck with the power divider locked. One place I worked had one parking spot for the trucks with two holes in the perfect spot to catch a set of wheels diagonal from each other. If you didn’t back in with enough speed to carry over the holes it’d be stuck. Often funny how little it sometimes takes to get a semi truck stuck, and then other times it seems like they can drive through a lot and not be stuck.

It helps when you have a truck driver that knows how to drive a truck...... I was a heavy-duty tow operator for a number of years...... Looking at this situation myself I would put Blue steel on the left side of the trailer connect the winch to the frame of the tractor..... That would give you a much better geometry pulling the tractor straight back instead of fighting the angle of the trailer...... Also building some Scotch pans would do a lot for keeping your winch truck in place when pulling heavy.... Keep up the good work matt

Matt has had a couple instances where the transfer case popped out of gear and other issues. My thought is that it may encounter excess torque coming from a drivetrain that does not have low enough gears. For rock crawling, some people run gears like 4.56 or even in the 5s with 35" tires and a vehicle with half the weight of the wrecker. Using that for comparison, even gears in the 6s is not low enough for 58" tires and all the extra weight.

I drove flatbed for 30 years and delivered prefab and log homes in the mountains I seen some driveways 3 miles in with switchbacks 1 I had to back back out of. That was an adventure I prayed to never experience again. Always walk the driveways before trying to drive them! Good job Matt!!

Just so you know both axles are always engaged, just like a full time 4wd or AWD. Most trucks do not have full lockers but there is the interaxle lock which is like shifting a full time 4wd system into hi-lock. Unfortunately with tandem axles so close together the touque and any unevenness in the terrain easily unloads tires causing them to spin. The suspension isn't generally designed for articulation

AS a truck driver- you should know that most newer big rigs have a set of hooks under the hood just for a winch or tow rope to attach to the frame. You would normally take them from the resting place under the hood and then insert them into the holes in the Plastic Bumper which are then automatically put into a clevis directly attached to the frame. I have been pulled out of a sticky situation similar to this one with the tow company using those tow hooks that I mentioned.

One other thing you should never pull on the axle steering or trailer axles I don’t believe that pickup could put a strong enough pull to damage anything but a large wrecker or big farm tractor really do some damage

As a tow truck driver- you should know that more often than not the tow hooks are missing or not under the hood and when you ask the truck driver if he knows where they are he stares at you like a deer in the headlights because he doesn’t know what you are talking about.

Newer Freightliners are under the hood on the frame rail and 99 out of 100 times no longer there...

Good decision Colin made when Hefe came unhooked letting Blue Steal continue pulling that truck up the hill and it didn't even break a sweat it pulled it like a champ 🏆

Man, props to the editting team 5 minutes in. That is a lot of work to keep the stuck truck anonymous! Well done!

Estes has very recognizable trucks.

That poor driver. I feel for him. Lots going on and so many helpers watching must have been stressful.

Not really. Getting stuck comes with the territory as a truck driver. In fact I'm sure he felt very relieved to have help.

Wondering if it’s his first day driving a big rig or maybe that particular one?

There is absolutely no way possible that we could tell that that was an Estes truck 😂

The first 2 min of this is as good of a repair video as I have seen on KZread!

Seeing Jefe's Bronco come unhooked and Blue Steel just kept on trucking was impressive, good call to let them keep going!

Well this ended up being quite a challenge for Blue Steel and the Bronco helping the semi truck out of its mess. Luckily it all worked out thanks to the man letting them turn the semi around in his pasture and pulling back onto the road. Kolin and Colby jumped the Toyota and got it back to town. Good video!

The owner of the pasture seems like "Good People". "He's not going to damage the shed anymore than it already is - I'm just worried about putting a hole in his trailer."

Next time you guys get a big rig, a lot have pull pins that connect to the bumper under the hood attached to the frame. I used to work for that company and the Internationals I drove had them.

Y'all need an electric pole saw. I'm telling you the one my son bought me is pretty tough. I cut some massive live oak limbs with it. Went through them like butter. I was shocked and impressed and you can break it down into 3 pieces! Just make sure you take a battery and a backup. I love that flat bed. I'm way behind in watching videos. Hopefully winter will eventually get here in Texas, and lots of rain and I can catch up.

Once the Supra got started drove straight over to Cars and Bids and Daddy Doug sold it for 30 k with authentic patina. Robby must have the best temperament to make these beasts so beautiful and then go down dusty roads. Always a fun adventure with the Morr crew. I hope Jefe is keeping tabs on tows with the Bronco like they do in the banana there would be a lot of hash marks by now.

Getting a rookie out of a tight spot great video keep up the good work God bless from GA stay safe

The new crew is very charming and watchable and competent. The kids are all right.
