Excellent video & narration. normally, narration over a video is annoying, but this was helpful & informative. Thankful the truck was found undamaged, Tow Trucks aren't cheap, even used. That was a Heavy truck to pull out. Likely close to 13,000lbs, plus it wouldn't run to help & add incline resistance from the steep angle & working off the side of a recovery truck boom is a handicap unless it has a side puller. Hope the rubber necker that was hit got a ticket. His accident was caused by his illegal, unnecessary stopping on a highway in a traffic lane. Unfortunately, insurance will likely blame both.. then other driver will get some blame for not keeping his vehicle under control. The rubber necker who stopped needs some chlorine in their gene pool.
@MNDashcamКүн бұрын
I do agree that a lot of narrations is from people who have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. They do it so they can steal clips and add just enough "educational content" to it that it doesn't violate copywrite laws for straight stealing a video but when they don't have any idea what they are talking about, we all know they are just straight stealing clips for the views instead of making their own content.

We could have been clear in 5 minutes if we were allowed to shut down the final lane and get a straight pull. At 3AM it would not have really been a huge hassle for other drivers to divert traffic off the previous exit for a few minutes.

I've never tried, but I suppose a thief could bust that lock pin and somehow move the trailer back far enough to hook the trailer to his hitch receiver. Seems like a lot of work to align the hitch that is still attached to a trailer. Or are those lock pins meant to keep them from stealing the hitch itself when it isn't connected to a trailer?
