Clearly a moron. As a former firefighter, I would have told the idiot to get his truck and dumbass ideas off the scene. If no drivers wanted to touch it, I would gladly proceed to drag it out with the winch on our brush truck, while no one was anywhere near the wall. It doesn’t take a genius or even a Jenga champion to see that the car was the only thing holding that brick veneer up.

What November said about fish tailing is one of the most dangerous things you can do, you never want to hit the brakes unless you're for sure either going to hit someone or something dangerous. Either give it gas and straighten out the trailer or let off the gas and lightly keep the wheel to keep the car forward

If you accelarate you might get out of the resonance are, but a tow rig gets more unstable the faster you drive, also at some point you have to slow down and you will be at that specific speed again. Slowing down will more likly work if done early enough, also think about what if throttling out doesnt work you will crash at a higher speed than before.

The video where the car used the tow truck as a ramp happened on a major highway near my hometown. The woman in the car that went airborne was texting and driving and not wearing her seat belt. She was thrown into the back seat and taken to the hospital in critical condition. She survived though. She was a Florida driver on a Georgia road.

My dad has been a semi-truck drive for 40 years+ and I have heard and seen so epic stuff involving tow recovery. Favorite was the unloading crane at a dock that lifted an entire tracker trailer and its load out of a ditch like it was nothing. The funny part was beforehand when the crane operator said, "It will only take me 10 minutes to un-mess this up, but it's $2500 up front for me to turn this thing on."

Yeah I agree. Having people push the car out of the wall and be crushed by 50 tons of solid brick would definitely be the ideal way to fix that situation. Hopefully they have iPhones and cash!
I used to Design boat trailers and I can tell you that there are a lot of things that can go wrong. Common issue in the clip is that the trailer did not have enough tongue weight. Either they didn't pull the transom plug to drain the water, or the axles on the trailer are not located right for the boat's position on the trailer.

Definitely not a good idea, especially on downhills. Just don't let it get this bad, once it starts wobbling, hit the brakes until you feel the trailer brakes engage, and that'll pull it straight. Yeah, trying to pull your trailer out of a wobble works sometimes, but more speed = more wobble as well. If it doesn't work, you're going way too fast with a wobbling trailer, and it's probably too late to brake...
Many years ago, my father and I drove a u-haul truck from Florida to New Jersey with furniture and I was constantly aware of the clearance of the truck and looking out for every posted clearance sign to make sure we didn’t hit anything.

I have personally been in the same situation as the second clip @ 1:25 , I was the passenger. We eventually were turned completely around 180 degrees. We did not have trailer brakes, we loaded our trailer incorrectly by putting too much weight behind the trailer axles which amplified the leverage, thankfully our load was properly secured and we didn't hit a single thing despite being surrounded by traffic going 60-70mph. Please learn from our mistake, properly maintain your vehicles and follow the basics when hauling a trailer.

The second video (mega sway) is caused by the trailer trying to go faster than the truck. That’s the number one thing that causes trailer sway, especially downhill. The best way to correct it off the gas, use trailer brakes (preferably only the trailer brakes if you can apply just then gently) and the trailer only will slow, which then will cause the truck to straighten out. The other option that works is actually to accelerate the tow vehicle so it is pulling the trailer again. But this is not recommended as you fix the problem (sway) but not the cause (trailer going faster than tow vehicle)

Jumping the tow truck brings up a valid point of "Target fixation" "Basically, when they perceived something as distracting or dangerous, they became so focused on avoiding it they actually steered into it or into other dangers they failed to notice. Panic can make riders lock their gaze on one object, and their vehicle follows the same path as their gaze."

I remember my undergrad professor shared his own experience of a wobbly rear end because he put a lot of big rocks in his trunk when he was teaching this kind of system. He said that you shouldn't correct that and just let it die down or you can easily get into a big crash.

you should accelerate out of speed wobbles. Wobbles happen because the trailer is "pushing" ahead of you. Basically the weight is pushing against the hitch which causes it to wobble. The trailer is going faster than the vehicle pulling it. By accelerating you pull the hitch forward and it corrects the weight balance. Then you should decelerate very, very slowly. Then pull over and fix the weight distribution on the trailer.
These are great you guys, keep em coming. I do have to say though that MORR is the whole reason I'm here, so make sure to give him cred.
1:25 tried that on my first import tow from Germany. Only reason i didn't crash was my co-driver, an seasoned truck driver, he calmly explained "foot off the gas, DON'T break, let it find itself"
Please find someone who's not November to do these so I can watch again.
3:54 where the Fu** did that guy disappear too 🤣
In September of 2019 when I was driving down I-5 to Oregon from Washington State I saw something crazy happen with a trailer being towed by a pickup truck. While I was driving a truck towing a trailer popped off of the hitch and the chains were still on but the trailer was going from side to side very violently. You could also see sparks flying from the chains hitting the ground. It was really crazy and something I won't soon forget about.

Still far better than the trailer getting free at highway speed and deciding it is no longer going to follow the tow vehicle. Scary to witness, WAY scarier when it happens to a trailer YOU are towing - but those chains are there for *_exactly_* that kind of situation. 95 times out of 100, a gentle slowdown by coasting it out and pulling over will let the driver reattach the trailer properly and continue on. As long as those safety chains are properly used, that is. But for those idiots who DON'T use safety chains when trailering, they're just BEGGING for a disaster. I would much rather have a wagging trailer make me shit my pants than have it come loose and go on to hurt or kill someone because it got away from me.
So November goes to all the trouble to stay anonymous but then admits to being an actor in a big movie and then said the role. 😂
Robby Layton and Matt from MORR also run traditional tow yards.
I never seen November laugh that hard before at that tow fail in England.

Ya, and hes a joke
I just have one tiny story from1961 when I was 6. My dad was towing a trailer made from a Studebaker truck bed assembly with his open bodied Willy's Jeep. While I was gazing at the trailer it came unhooked. I yelled at my dad what happened, but by then the trailer ran off the road, the hitch tongue dug into the bank, and the whole thing went into the air and landed upside down. Of course, like a true man of his generation, with much swearing he flipped it back on its wheels by himself, refilled the bed, and darkly warned me and my brother to tell no one.
I saw those trucks @11:44 broken down at a rest stop in South Texas. They had to disconnect and drive one at a time after that, this must've been at the start of their journey!
The sheer amount of people in the comments losing their minds over November, not knowing he's just an actor.

I've driven my fair share of box trucks (the one that's on top of the flatbed around 12min) and really don't get the hate. I mean yeah, they're big and not exactly fun, but for their size/weight every one I've driven has been pretty easy and comfortable. More comfortable than my daily sometimes, which I get considering how expensive they are.
Love these videos
Great stuff guys
Video number 2. Tap the gas get some pressure on the hitch to straighten out and then leave the brakes alone and slow down by down shifting by manually going to 3rd (or 2nd if there’s no 3rd on the lever) brakes don’t help on a downhill slope if you have too much weight

It depends on the weight distribution, for this it looks like it might work, but if you did a bad job loading things up, hitting on the gas might make the problem worse
So is all of Donut Media fake or just "November" (Matthew Match Ray - actor)? So disheartening to find out :/

Since the first video with that actor I've been wondering the same, I made sure to tell YT not to suggest Donuts videos any more and was waiting on how they'd communicate about this November character to see if I'd do the same with the Real Mechanic Stuff channel. They didn't say anything despite the comments being all over the fact he's an actor. So Real Mechanic Stuff is out of my YT suggestions as well. I guess I'll miss Sandro and Angelina as their content was fun but I'm not giving another view to donuts and co...

I'm glad to see all of us agree that November sucks
That person in the fourth clip just had an intrusive thought and decided to act on it.😮
"November" is an actor who does repo sometimes. In "November's" own words, "I'm trying to show the underside of a terrible industry I had the great displeasure of working in." "I was reacting like a good portion of the dudes I worked with." I don't agree with his methods but maybe this will help understand why he acts like this. Hi again, Matthew
11:44 to 12:26 is literally one of the insane towing solutions ever 😂 like there are trailers that can haul more then one car lmao
I sometimes drive a box truck at my job, and it has a mirror-imaged sticker on the box part that you can see on the driver side mirror. It's REALLY helpful, because I've cruised under some real sketchy things that were like "clearance 11ft 10 inches" (truck height is 11ft 7 inches). Truck cab height is also in-line with a semi truck cab, so that's fun to drive around all day and then get in my car afterwards...Now I know why all our semi drivers have trucks.
