[@user-zk1kc4fv3e]

I watch it on the History Channel here in Moncton New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦

[@user-zk1kc4fv3e]

Love ur show

[@RuthPerk]

I watch it on the Weather Channel in the US

[@geraldfrasure9849]

Glad you didn't get hurt Jamie I've bent some medal in my time and had some really close calls I know how it is. East Kentucky coal hauler here on this end

[@Kahlan2111]

First I'm glad no one was injured. I'm sorry the LA wrecker is so badly injured, & extremely happy you are taking such good care of her. I'm in the US 🇺🇸 so we don't see new season until after you broadcast it up there. I'll be waiting to see you & LA Wrecker on the road! Good luck & stay safe!

[@devondeaton2103]

-Really glad to see some content from you Jamie. I'd love to see more. Glad you werent injured in the rotater crash.

[@MastaT_150]

Same!

[@scpittman5769]

Glad your OK things could've been much worse

[@TheRoadburner99]

Glad your ok

[@stevencaka]

I agree. Could’ve been a lot worse.

[@tomrogers9467]

Metal can be fixed or replaced. Flesh and blood, not so much!

[@michaelhaslett3742]

So glad you're okay. We know you'll make the truck nice and shiny red again. Miss seeing new episodes of highway through hell

[@davelewandoski4292]

Weather Channel finally started showing new ones. Just showed the Mack being lost.

[@SeanFitzpatrick693]

Knowing Jaime, this rig will look amazing at the start of next season.

[@ChrisHarding-lk3jj]

If you look at the date of the wreck in the video it happened a year ago so it should already be repaired.

[@lelandlewis7207]

I hope they soda blast it, sand gets into bushings and other areas and wears things out prematurely. I was always surprised that Jamie sold the rotator when he downsized because of the earning potential of owning one. Good to see them back in the fleet.

[@CycolacFan]

You don’t ever want to sodablast in the rain though, turns it to thick clay then later a sticky powder you can’t get rid of. Was a surprise to all of us. Great in the dry though.

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

Sad for the truck, but I'm glad you're ok. Most importantly, 🍻 KC, watching from Cradle Mountain Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 🤝 🍁🇨🇦 😊🤗👍

[@jimderrick846]

Oh wow. My heart sank seeing that truck so broken up. Thankfully no one was hurt !!! I can’t wait to see the rotator back on the road…..

[@mikebanks177]

You are one tough dude. Thank God that you're ok.

[@Play_fare]

I haven’t had an accident in 40 years of driving, but have had a few close calls, the majority of them because of black ice. Fortunately I was able to gain some kind of control to stop in time and was driving at a slow speed. Nothing more frightening than heading towards another object or person, without steering or braking control - you’re just along for the ride. Stay safe out there brother!

[@JamieDavisTowingOfficial]

You as well, Thanks for watching!

[@chrischisholm4800]

Really thankful to hear you are ok Jamie. Sorry about your truck. It can be replaced, you can’t. You’re one of a kind.

[@EGCC4284]

Jamie, so glad it was not a more serious accident and you ended up injured or disfigured. So glad your wife and family still have the Jamie they know. It could have easily been a different outcome. Count this as a lesson in life and a cat’s life used. Blessings to you, your wife and family.

[@user-hu2jg1ww3m]

Thats great the truck can be repaired . Glad you are ok. Great to see the family helping prep the truck

[@robbalinski1606]

Man I just love Jamies old school go gett'r attitude, no mess'n around!

[@WOLFSOFBREAD]

Glad your ok nobody hurt Jamie🙏 can’t wait to see your Rotator back in action👍👍👍👍

[@tomrogers9467]

Hearing Jamie getting excited about bringing the truck back to life reminded me of the intro for the old TV series “Six Million Dollar Man”. "We can rebuild him. We have the technology. We can make him better than he was. Better...stronger...faster." Seems very appropriate here. Good luck.

[@joshuawalls7102]

Finally some content from Jamie! It sucks that you almost lost your life for this content but non the less we are all glad that your ok Jamie and we love getting content from you! From a fellow operator I'm here to say stay safe out there brother!

[@williamrumley3381]

I’m just glad no one was hurt and the rotator wasn’t a total write off. I’m glad it’s being restored

[@sheldonfunk8615]

Number one, I'm glad you and everyone else are okay. Now the observation from another old trucker who has covered most of the states and a good portion of canada. Yes you were driving at a reduced speed call mom however with your experience you should have been expecting ice under those conditions and with limited visibility in fog plus that being a fairly winding road with short sight lines you were still driving too fast for conditions. I ran that stretch for a couple months. As I'm sure you do as well, and if you aren't expecting people to do stuff at least as stupid as Park in the middle of the road you are not prepared to drive on that road

[@michaelworden9265]

Thank God you survived. The truck can either be repaired or replaced. We cannot get another Jamie Davis.

[@paulshannon4576]

I’ve been driving since 04 but in the last few years I’m seeing more semi drivers than just don’t have common sense. It’s not just the 4 wheelers but the big truck drivers that are dangerous. I’m retiring again in just 2 months and hopefully stay off the road.

[@timmorin69]

I love your show and was heart broken when i saw pictures of this crash last year. Glad you were not hurt and that you are getting around to fixing the old girl and putting her back into service.

[@andorastorm1000]

This is the rotater from California right? I too am so glad they both are OK or soon will be.

[@joejohnson489]

Happy no one was injured. Heart breaking for smeone who loves trucks. I am sure Jamie will repair it in good as new condition

[@glennb8397]

Wow it's Great to see you post on KZbin again, it's been awhile. The TV shows are all reruns. Hope the rig gos back together as you plan and will be like new. One of tonight's reruns was saying goodbye to Bruce rip. An operator that would do things his way. But in the end things got done the Janie Davis way. Great to see you back on KZbin and your followers all send prayers, keep the shiney side up and the dirty side down on the road 🚨🚒👽👍

[@JamieDavisTowingOfficial]

Thanks for watching! 👍

[@Beandiptheredneck]

Jamie's been sharing his journey with all of us an awful long time, he's faced a lot of set backs and never quit, this is just one more, and the truck may well end up nicer than it started 👍

[@JamieDavisTowingOfficial]

Thanks for watching!

[@ajcopp8814]

I'm sorry Jamie. I am grateful that no one was injured. I love your attitude. Let's get it restored as soon as possible.❤

[@MadDogg4021]

It’s a bad day when the wrecker needs a wrecker!

[@Lazzar1958]

Glad no one was injured & the damage was relatively minor & repairable. Your trucks are your pride & joy & you are definitely resilient enough improve it to meet your standards. Cheers from Mission City Jamie!

[@KurganNazzir]

So happy there were no injuries to everyone involved.

[@harrysappington2951]

Wow! Jamie having been in a tractor trailer wreck you are lucky. Mine was with black ice too. I was glad to hear that you came out well. Blessings to you and your family

[@eddielittleii8919]

I'm glad everyone is okay. Way to step up and get right back at it!

[@freidastevens9304]

I'm so glad that you weren't injured Jamie.

[@dennisp1821]

Quite the journey. Happy that everyone ended up uninjured. The rotator will be reborn again and awesome to see when it's finished! Thx for the update! :)

[@josephcuratola539]

Good to see you’re OK Jamie God bless🙏🏻.

[@danpayan9468]

Thank God your hear to talk about it I drove a wrecker for 39 yrs it's a tough bizz but helping people in need makes up for it all 👍🙏

[@thee.c.r.gtherealmoftheunk3717]

Glad you're ok Jamie! The tater will live again ! 👍

[@dandunning4409]

Been wanting to see just how much damage was done. Glad nobody was seriously injured that's a blessing because these trucks are so heavy. Can't wait to see how good it looks when it's completely ready to go back into service. Be safe guys.

[@mayforddavis9291]

Really missed seeing 'highway thru Hell" Glad Jamie is OKAY.

[@lornahardin4563]

Highway Thru Hell was my favorite and now Discovery channel won't let us see in the USA. Ticks me off.

[@TurdFerguson-ez8yq]

Jamie happy your alright. Thank care

[@Ted_E_Bear]

Glad you were not injured !

[@anthonyjacquimcnamara5606]

Glad you are okay Jamie. Looking forward to seeing the rebuild and when it’s completed.

[@OO-xc7zg]

So glad nobody was hurt! All the best with the new build👍👍

[@Bman2020]

Happy you where not hurt the rotator can be fixed 👍👋🇨🇦

[@johnoksys7713]

I'm glad your alright I just watched the episode when the Mack Burned I felt the emotion in your voice I loved the Mack myself I've been a big fan of your show science season 1 please keep up the updates on the rotator & again Hello from Windsor Connecticut

[@brianwintermute9551]

Glad no one was injured. Property can be repaired or replaced. And, as you pointed out, an opportunity to repaint etc. the truck.

[@jeffbailey7765]

Jamie glad you are ok. It hurts to see HR-56 down

[@mickbaker2483]

Hi Jamie so pleased to see you had the wrecker angels and good luck with you on the day of your accident, it is never good when thing's like this happen but unfortunately they do, I'll be watching all your work on the rotator I used to be in the wrecker industry myself before I had to retire with health issues ((joint problems)) and couldn't be rolling around on the ground and slinging chains around, thinks for a great video and tack care out there Jamie.

[@geomodelrailroader]

nobody wants to see a tow man or a flagger carved on the Wall of the Fallen. We almost lost Jamie when those two trucks ran him off the road. Glad he's okay and he has HR 100 but Rotator is down he will be spending 10 months to fix it and next time Brianna and Jr. post a video Rotator should be back.

[@AC4849-]

Glad you were not hurt Jamie! Good to see a video from you!

[@MrShujinJonmichal]

Cannot wait to see HR56 Back in action soon. That's the Big Boss Toy there!

[@tedpogorzelski8075]

Great video! I am glad you are ok !

[@jetprime7686]

Glad you know how to drive on the ice road. Keep saving other truckers and stay safe.

[@williambrewer2036]

Watching the episode tonight. Made me sad to see your prize truck go down like that. Even more sadder to see you Jamie heart broken over it. I'm glad you and the others involved are doing well. Be glad to see the truck back in rotation.

[@nwestra]

I’ve been waiting for this video ever since hearing about the rotator accident. Glad to see you updating us in these videos and can’t wait for the next one! Tell Jamie to keep safe out there

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

Glad you're OK. Went back and watched the video when you got the truck a couple of years ago. I know you're upset with the damage but it is repairable.Looking forward to the after repair video.

[@MRHSDM316SD18186]

Great to see you came out unscathed Jamie; your guardian angel was flying with you & others involved

[@MrJordanwain]

Glad to hear no one was injured- this could have been very different if it wasn’t for your experience. I can’t wait to see this truck once the work is finished. With new paint it’ll look awesome!!!

[@denisecaringer4726]

This just popped upon KZbin. I love the show and admire Mr. Davis. I’m sorry to learn of this crash but so happy that he is OK.

[@johnosbourn4312]

Hey Jamie, glad to know that you weren't hurt in the wreck.

[@miketowtruck13]

As a brother in the industry soooo thankful your OK love you brother the LA rotator will be back and looking more beautiful than ever cant wait to see her finished

[@dacasio3]

Glad everyone was ok. Keep the videos coming. Love the updates. We need a video of your current heavy’s!!!

[@patrickwhelan5703]

Great update video, Jamie. That truck will be good as new sooner than you think. Good to get the process jump started!!

[@oldmanintheshopbuiltnotbou8726]

man glad you are fine

[@akibawolfproductions]

The Coq Gods were watching over you. Freaking hell, so glad you're OK! Saw one of your trucks and Al's when I was moving to BC, just coming off the Coq, no wrecks, just y'all hanging out, will never forget that moment when I saw the big red truck and big green trucks just sitting there, waiting for a call to come in. So very grateful you're OK

[@johnapernorio8151]

Jamie, as a retired OTR driver with 35 years of experience, every day you out out and DON'T have an accident, is a good day.

[@jimbrewer2893]

Wow! And I just watched the episode about that beautiful Mack loss! Jamie, hang in there!

[@shanemelman1596]

Glad that you are ok Jamie. It is a shame but we all know that you will have it better than new when your finished.

[@EmperorGary1971]

The important thing is you walked away from it. Trucks can be rebuilt. She will come back bigger and stronger. Stay strong out there

[@jamiesmith397]

Ouch. The Old LAFD Rotator. Glad you weren't injured. Looking forward to see her all fixed.

[@raybonhomme404]

A nice paint job, two straight 6 inch pipes, a nice polish and this rotator is going to be beautiful again ❤ can't wait to see the finished wrecker

[@jeffmcnutt2151]

Tears in my eyes Truly grateful.that you made it out okay Sorry bout your truck Sending Love from Nova Scotia

[@DMSparky]

Sorry to see that this happened. You can tell by the sound in his voice it was a real blow and he was shook up. I still don't understand why we don't run winter tires (or at least 3 peak rated) on our commercial trucks like they do in the Scandinavian countries. Especially with all the new truck drivers we have in Canada who have next to no winter driving experience and never seem to chain up.

[@mariewintersteen7098]

So glad you didn't get hurt! Sad to see your equipment got damaged! Keep the videos coming!

[@tabithasalb9903]

Omg. Thankful you're ok Jamie.

Still don't get what happened when you were on tv you had all big new trucks now it's mostly old iron. I also thought you ordered two of the last long nose Pete's?

[@screwplanplaybook7121]

Glad everyone is ok, sad to see the old 377 model pet wrecked, take care my neighbors and God bless.

I dont care that the rotator is destroyed.. It did its Job and saved your life Jamie and that is ALL I care about. It can be replaced/rebuilt. You how ever... cannot be.. So Silver lining is.. Your still with us all.
