Is there a reason so many American low-loaders use a drop neck instead of rear ramps? Almost all low loaders in Australia load over the rear (I think I've only seen one drop neck here, ever) so you don't need to detach the prime mover. It makes for faster, easier loading.

Are you sure you can’t Regen the truck while driving. The Peterbilt 579, Kenworth T680 and Isuzu NPR could as long as you were driving over 35 mph for about 30 min.

I live in Michigan where we salt the roads.. That idea made me go "Whoahhh.. Brilliant!"

"You won't get into trouble for getting anything wrong because you don't know what 'wrong' is." 😂 I want this on a t-shirt...

I bet that Subaru saw those spikes on the wheels and backed off.

Also after seeing so many videos with the Zacklift on the western star the truck looks a bit odd when you detach the wrecker body. 99% of the time i see a bobtail rig its a standard freightliner or day cab that pulls a 53ft box style trailer or flatbed, but seeing yours with nothing attached is odd to me at first buy then i remember you bought that truck with the wrecker body in mind and it all makes sense

Simple stuff for you seems complicated to those of us who haven't done it. Pulling off the ZakLift and getting the trailer adjusted and hooked up properly certainly is important. Making sure big equipment is secured properly for safety reasons for you and those on the road. Glad you do it right and are safe out there.

as for putting the Subaru into a snow bank it is educational and FUN to watch in so many ways.

In at least 1 way, the Lull is still superior. The traveling carriage is sweet for its ability to travel forward level with the frame of the tractor. It's really nice when you're picking a load off scaffolding or unloading a semi.

My slack adjuster is properly mounted and secured. Not cracked, broken or missing. and has no more than one inch of free play... Or at least that's what the DMV wants our students to say on the pre trip test...

Your truck looks naked without the Zack lift on it. The sprinkler thing is genius!

That dumb look on a Ski Bums face after they launch into a snowbank is priceless 😂

The sprinkler is absolutely pure genius. I had a boat trailer that had cleanout ports but that's just so simple that it likely works great. Another example of working smart NOT hard. Re the Sub. Good for you. I watched a Cadillac that just had to pass me... bounce off the guardrail. Oh darn !

I had a land yacht just beside himself on a mountain road going from Southern to Northern California. So I'm driving an Army 7-ton fuel tanker, and if you've ever seen military vehicles, they have massive bumpers on the front, and most of them have proportionally massive winches. At least this one did. So he finally spies an opening, shoves 500 cid, 400 hp into a lower gear, zooms around and jumps in front of me, only to have to slam on the brakes to keep from rear-ending the slower produce truck in front of me. That big an engine and drum brakes on a winding mountain road - perfect. Those things were used at Indy as pace cars, but they didn't have to do that kind of braking. He fish-tailed for a good several hundred feet before he got it under control. I'll give him credit for that, but there he was, inches from that monster in front of him, and inches from my bumper that probably weighed as much as his Eldo in back of him. I hoped he crapped himself and had to stew in it for the next hour.

There're times I think a ride along in a big truck would be a useful educational experience as part of drivers ed. I spent the summer after graduating highschool loading moving trucks. They felt even more ponderous from the passenger seat than they looked driving past them in my car. It also made clear how massive the blind spots were.

I have a real problem with Tailgaters. I used to play a game on the interstate called "how slow will they go?" I just slowly let up on the gas without braking. My lowest score was 35...in a 65. I didn't feel safe at that point and put on my flashers at which point they wized up and passed me. There was no one in the other lane the entire time.

Good morning Casey people need to learn that Truckers leave space so they have room to stop if they need it because they can't stop fast like regular vehicles can. The sprinkler is definitely a genius idea for sure and saves time

Doesn’t mean you should push them in the ditch like Casey said. People are always gonna pass the big truck. There’s a difference between cutting someone off and break checking and someone who’s driving faster than the truck and is just passing to get in front. By the time they pass they should be well ahead and if you’re so worried about your stopping zone, just back off a bit then. Takes patience to drive truck. Saying things like “I’ll just put him in the ditch if he’s going to pass me” is just immature, people like that don’t need to be driving a big truck let alone any vehicle

Casey done hit that Genius level with the lawn sprinkler tractor,

Gooooood morning Casey! The fun just never ends! I like the undercarriage washer, who ever invented that is brilliant. Thanks for taking us along and thumbs UP!👍

My brother has a term he uses for Subaru drivers here - and sadly, about 99 percent of them earn that name! I'm super cautious about the space in front of large rigs because I know how much I need the space in front of my RV when I'm out and about, and too many people just don't get it. I think some of them are the same ones that will dart across train tracks right in front of the train, then wonder why the engineer gets pissed like they do. Love the use of the traveling yard sprinkler to rinse the bottom of the truck!!

You should have a release form that says "if you can not record what you did, the customer assumes all liability for damages"

The Zacklift just comes off like that? That's amazing. That and a thousand other well thought out features. No wonder you were so excited to get it, and have been like boys with toys ever since.

And an Edison Motors sweatshirt ! Excellent! Nice video, thanks all

As you know, the prep work for the next job is always needed. So that your rig will be in top condition when you need it most. Thanks for reminding us of that, as not many car owner do what they should do to keep themselves and their loved ones safe inside a checked and maintained vehicle. Laziness kills, I have seen it so many times inspecting accidents in the past. Keep safe!

Sprinkler is so cool! I used to have to wash Willamette clay off my trucks every week. I used a pump up garden sprayer to pre-soak everything with soap and water solution. Then I figured out I could attach a quick connect air fitting to it, and never pump again. Turned out to be a great timesaver! 😊

I might have to get one of those sprinkler deals. That would make inspecting trucks a lot more fun and probably more effective this time of year. I'd much rather have cleanish water drip on me than salty slush and mud. You can only get so much from the outside with the pressure washer.

That lawn sprinkler looks like it works the way a pot scrubber dishwasher gets the job done!

I made a little drive thru under wash station at my house next to my shop that I drive over. I dug a trench about 2' wide and 18" deep and 10' long and I filled it with concrete with a steel 8" wide channel drain set in the concrete and I put down gravel on either side of it. I took a piece of pipe and drilled a bunch of holes and used a couple U bolts to attach the pipe to the underside of the drain grate. I already had a home made 10hp electric pressure washer inside my shop so I connected it to the spray bar and found a cheap homelink remote receiver from ebay and wired it into the pressure washer to turn it on. When I get home I hit my homelink button or the extra button on my gate opener remote and I drive over my under side wash station.

Love the sprinkler idea, when you first showed it. Still think the truck needs some red, black and grey, that would look awesome.

the idea of using garden sprinklers to clean the salt from the bottom of the truck... mcguiver strikes again hahaha, a simple and effective idea that I don't think many people would think of.

If Ethan had his CDL and Casey had a couple of forklifts (small-ish fork lift and a heavy duty telehandler with a set of counter weights), Casey could start an industrial moving channel supplementing his towing work. And we could see the Zaklift and that awesome rollback in action working together on videos.

What a cool way to flush the underside. I would think if you deliberately "put him into the snowbank," there might be some time in the gray bar hotel in the offing and some thinning of the wallet.

Casey, let me introduce you to a product called NHOU oil undercoating, Sometime later this Spring or summer when your truck frame and underbelly is clean and dry, you spray this product on all over and it will keep things in Tip top shape, no rust.

Great job guys. Thank you 😊

Ethan those telehandlers are super easy to drive. If you can drive a tractor you can drive one of those.
