I was a volunteer fire fighter for 12 years until I had to retire. I seen a lot happen in those years and I know from 1st hand experience that wrecker drivers don't get enough credit for what they do. Thank you for your service!

Being a owner operator towing company is a lifestyle. You work all hours of the day and night 7 days a week . Your a hard working man Jonathon ! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Don't forget that he has emphysema

That was extremely interesting, Jonathan. Thanks for taking us along.

The newer the car the more pieces to pick up. Have a good Thanksgiving.

Back when I was a volunteer firefighter/EMT I had numerous late night / early mooring calls like that. We used to kid they always came in threes. We had a state trooper directing traffic one night when both lanes of the expressway was shut down from a multicar accident and traffic had to drive on the shoulder. One woman refused to slow down and the tropper launched his Maglite at her windshield, she slowed down then and got a ticket for failure to yield to emergency personnel.

as the kids say "let the intrusive thought win" That's awesome

Great work, Jonathan. I have a lot of respect for folks like you and the troopers for coming out in all hours and weather to help us out.

It's a shame people don't move over for Emergency vehicles.😢 Stay safe out there. I wish you would have more hardware store tool stories.😊

Thanks for taking us along. You'd think people would learn to slow down a bit in poor weather. Have a good Thanksgiving day.

Because it won't happen to them as their the best driver on the planet and have the PlayStation results to prove it

Thanks, Jonathan, for being one of the first responders, we do appreciate what you do. When it rains here people loose their minds. Central California watching

Been a while since I watched you pickup after these reckless drivers. You're just about the only wrecker driver that grabs every part. That's A1 service! Happy Thanksgiving!

It’s ok Jonathon, I enjoy watching what you do for a living in the rollback wrecker! Thanks for sharing!

Jon's happy! Whistling while he works! And making money so's he can buy another Hawk!

Thanks Jonathan. Your a gentleman and easing the drivers mind. Automatic sir from you. Integrity!

Man, at this time of the day in this weather. Hell of a job Jonathan. Take care of your health. 👍

Super job giving us a taste of the Wrecker work that you do!! Hopefully you'll get dome sleep after a busy Night!! All the best from Surrey BC Canada

Extremely hard work and awful weather to boot thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the ride along. I see alot of stupid drivers that should never have gotten a license, and some that just ran into bad luck. I have driven across the US, commuted 2 hours each way to jobs, and drove Jacksonville, Fl to Augusta,Ga every 2 weeks and made 2 single round trip runs Jacksonville to Roanoke,Va. Glad I retired from electrical construction and maintenance.

This is hard work. Much respect, sir!

Being on a ride along with you brings back so many memories of when i was a towing and recovery operator, one of the greatest jobs i ever had!

Another great video from the man, the myth, the legend. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family sir.

Afternoon Jonathan! Thank you for sharing! Y'all have a Happy Thanksgiving!!

I know it's not easy, but your experience makes it look so. I like the snatch block action. Have a great Thanksgiving!

You haven't filmed a tow for a long time, it's a hard life! I can't believe you still have the energy to also build and restore all the equipment on top of all the towing.

Thanks for sharing Sir👍 The main thing is that nobody was seriously injured, thankfully If could suggest maybe installing work lights on your " crash bar" Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. Hoping for a peaceful day.

Some day you can retire and build hot rods and steam engines. Great video thanks Jonathan.

Kudos man, so many folks focus on your toys and collectibles, without understanding the work and stress you go through as a wrecker owner/operator. God bless you Bro.

In Houston if you see a two car pile up there will be forty seven wreckers show up for a chance to make a tow. It is refreshing to see only one wrecker and a lot less traffic jams!

Nice work. I towed for 20 years, retired to the farm now. Sure don't miss those dark rainy night calls or handling the chains with no gloves (: Funny how people who have a habbit of wrecking their cars like to live accross the street from tow truck drivers. I had a couple nieghbors like that too.happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Traveling to Arkansas this past Monday & Tuesday from Florida saw a bunch of wrecks. Rain was terrible, but that didn’t stop the nut jobs from driving like they’d lost their minds. No rest for the weary cleaning up these messes.

Thank you for taking us along. Definitely not a job for the fair weather people

Very interesting. Road janitor says it all.

when I was younger (high school) worked with one of the rural services, didn't have the roll backs ... bravo zulu to you ... and have a Happy Turkey day!!!

Thank You Jonathan for taking us along whilst Towing. Happy Thanksgiving to You and Your Family Sir!!! We have a "Move Over Law" in the state of Indiana as well, however, like North Carolina and the rest of the world, People act as though "it is all about them and NOONE else", it is absolutely sickening!!! "They seem to forget how Life is so precious" and take it for granted!!!!! Be safe out there Brother, stay Healthy and God Bless!!!!! Thanks for being the Road way Janitor, a big 👍's, Meow to NaNa 🐱!!!

Thanks for taking us along on the calls wow so busy remember the late nights on the tow truck getting soaked all night long coming home at 5 in the morning tracking threw deep snow to hook a car way down the ditch boy those were the days ....

I bet working on those steam engines after a day like is priceless.

Travel Mercy going up for you ! May God Bless you 🙏 ❤️ ✨️ ♥️

Like the wrecker calls. Thanks Jonathan

Don't ya just hate to work a wreck in the rain? Happy Thanksgiving, Jonathan. Just had surgery below my right eye, so have to watch with one eye tied behind my back. Cheers from eastern TN

Love your videos Jonathan, this one reminded me that being an electrician sure helps most of the time from having to work in shitty weather. Still happens sometimes but the older I get the more I try to avoid it.

Haen't seen you do one of these in years. I really liked it. Hydtaplaning is usually caused by poor shocks and struts. Dangerous time iin heavy rain.

Thanks for showing us how hard and dangerous your job is. I love how people don't slow down or move over by a wreck knowing there are workers there clearing the road. It doesn't matter what kind of vehicle you have, if you don't drive right, you or your vehicle will be meeting you for a ride along. You take care because you are a valuable member of society.

I much appreciate your taking the time to film ur daily encounters at work. A Cheap go pro, so you can use both ur hands would be great..

Thanks for the " on the scene" video. I 'very missed that.

Busy night!! At least the last drop off was next to your house. Hope you got some rest!!

You are one of the hardest working people I've ever encountered. My respect, sir.

The way you're always learning and teaching, I tend to think of you as more of a Road Scholar than as a Road Janitor, but there is honor in any job done well.

Very good video for rainy morning! Your breathing while working is as good as mine... Has it gotten better since you quit smoking a while back? It'd be great to be young again but "it is what it is" and we keep chugging along.😊

Thanks for sharing Happy Thanksgiving

Nice farmers weather..good crop , too... No daisies... Better luck ... and easy to pick...

Good that you shared this. Hopefully my self and others will see what happens after the hydroplaning. 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

Keeping you busy brother, got you booked up this morning!

Johnathan, I totally agree with you on the brightness of those lights. They are more blinding than they ever need to be. Blue lights are blue, red lights are red @nd whit3 or so called clear lights are clear. Non3 of th3m h@ve to be in blinding mode. Department of Highway and safty should limit the output of highway lights. 👍👍👍🙏🏽✌🏻😎

I’m not a Mustang fan but seeing how many checks Jonathan W has cashed hauling wrecked Mustangs off the highway I have to admit I kind of like them.

❤hope you and your's have glorious day of thanks 🙏🎉🎉❤

At least you will try to pick up All the debris, in Miami they can't be bothered. How's that power hawk doing?👍🇺🇲

Interesting thanks for the ride along 😮

Awesome video Mr. Jonathan!

THANKS FOR TAKING ALL OF US TO WORK WITH YOU!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND THECWHOLE FAMILY!!!

Poor feller like me would probably try to rebuild the mustang but i bet the parts to fix it cost more the car is worth 😮

If that was last night we had that same storm here in New Jersey inch and a half of rein + wind Hydroplaning + wet leaves

Hard, Dangerous Work...out there in the elements too...l don't know who's got it worse - Jordan up there with the sparks or you on the side of the road & just 1 motorist not paying attention...you guys are better than me - heap mo' betta'

Busy night. Hopefully you can get a nap after the last one. Thanks Jonathan 👍🇺🇸

Excellent work!

Always love when a new video comes out happy Thanksgiving Jonathan

More involved than meets the eye ! Good on ya Johnathan 🤙🤙🤙🤙

Here in Kentucky you are suppose to go into next lane when you see a wrecker or tow truck operating. Law states, Go over or be pulled over because it is against the law to drive next to operator during operation. A lot of operators are killed each ear because of Rubber Nickers and the State police or Sheriff really crack down. Love the videos and the explaining what's happening even in the dark.

The tow wizard at it again!

You were breathing HARD on the last tow...time for a CATNAP, staying up all night and working next morning is a young man's game. As the years roll by need to think smarter than the young fella needs too. Have a great Thanks' Giving and get some rest!

Hey Jonathan, great video as always and I have to say you were one really super hard working son of a gun. I'll just also want to take this time to wish you and your family a wonderful happy thanksgiving. God bless

Hey Jonathan..not bad for a days work...rain brings them in as usual..I used to help a buddy of mine when he would have to go pick up wrecked cars..this reminds me of that except the cars were a lot tougher..today you can sweep what's left with a broom..enjoyed this thanks..see you on the next one cheers 🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸

Asome vidio Johnathon we get to see you working wrecks we get to see what you got to do to do your job any time day or night. Very cool thanks

Loved the new camera! 👍

'Road Janitor' - Love it! Have a good Thanksgiving Jonathan from Across the Pond.

Nice ride along. Thanks Jonathan!

Great video Jonathan!

Miserable weather sadly makes for interesting content. Good that no one appeared to be injured. Must have been extra slippy rain..

Great video I love wrecker and roll back recovery videos ! I have a old ramp truck and I recover stuff sometimes 😃 have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

When it rains it pours!!! Thanks!!!

Hey Jonathan, in Australia it's law that you must slow down when emergency lights are on , trouble is people not paying attention are crashing into people who slow down 😮

Thanks for that journey Jonathan, a great window on your world. 🍺 Regarding my comment on a previous post, I’ll revise it to three Victorians 🙂👍🍺

Thank you for sharing your day with a tow

I think you should have a nice long nap! Thanks for the video I always enjoy your content

That bed/winch set up is a powerful tool

👍🏻🍻

U need a steam powered winch on ur rollback! Lol😂 Hope ya stay healthy in that crappy weather👍

Seems like you could set your alarm clock for 2 hours and expect a call ???? All three very "modern" cars. About as "safe" as they get. Just bad driving ??? At least, it appeared no one was hurt. 👍👍👍

Really fascinating to see what you do for a living Jonathan, thanks for showing us

great video as always!! its nice seeing someone take pride in there works!!

You can tell you are a hard working man

👍 has been a long time since we got to go on wrecker call.

I always enjoy your towing videos.

Always a busy time of year thanks for the ride along Jonathan

Happy turkey day to you and yours J. W from Sacramento ca. 👍

A Hip Hip Hooray for "LidCam!!"

Accidents are sad. Driving safely in adverse conditions is essential. Be careful Jonathan when crossing roads. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Busy morning 👍
