Box Truck VS Semi Crash! Another 2 Rotator Recovery!

The Wilcox team was called out to an accident between a semi tractor trailer loaded with grain and a Mack box truck. The box truck pulled out in front of the semi, causing them both to collide and end up off into the ditch. The two rotators made quick work recovering the box truck, where Tad was waiting with the NRC Quickswap to tow it away. Then the focus went to the tractor trailer. The loaded grain trailer was practically new, and it had to be a very delicate recovery due to the nature of the trailer. One wrong move and the trailer could have split open like an aluminum can. Watch as the Wilcox crew works together to get both units recovered with no additional damage.

The 65 is definately an animal. Nice job!

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you! It certainly is way more capable than the 50 ton

[@SumterWrecker]

Awesome recovery. Thanks for sharing and stay safe

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thanks! Hope you've had a Happy 4th of July!

[@deltasi7270]

1st class operators. Great job on harder than it looked recovery.

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you! The camera never does the real scenario justice, and yes it was a very delicate recovery.

[@jaygraham5407]

Excellent job. Slow and steady wins the race.😉

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

It certainly felt like this one took longer than it should have, but given the nature of the situation it ended just how we wanted it to. After watching the video back myself, I realized I could have helped myself out immensely if I would have parked the 65 ton another 5 ft further towards the back of the trailer and been completely parallel with the trailer instead of with the roadway.

I'm watching from the Netherlands. We don't know anything like that. That's why what you do is so impressive. I look forward to the next report.

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying the videos, and hope all is well in the Netherlands 👍🏻

[@jackstockley4501]

That was a lot more difficult than it looked! That was a good clean recovery with no more damage than what was previously done! Like your great grand father said “It’ll pull the world if you could tie her down!” He said that about the old Auutocar but I’m thinking he’d say the same about the “65”! Great job good to drink my morning coffee too! Stay safe WG!

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Yes, this recovery was very delicate because of the nature of the trailer. I believe the combo was grossing around 85k, and the way the 65 ton performed was impressive. Something tells me the 65 ton will hold its ground better than his old 750 Holmes haha.

great work fellas, love the green on the heavy units.

Sorry I meant to say whoa and go be safe Sam

great video

[@MarkMiller-nl6ud]

One thing i noticed rigging must of been spot on crinkle in front of trl disappeared while be lifted out impressive.

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Correct. The aluminum panel in front popped back in by itself by the time the trailer was in the roadway.

[@samuelspencer9194]

Dear Sir I am not telling you how to do your videos or business but whoa in ho sounds a lot alike I used to use radios underwater I'll stop with better than whoa just my opinion love your videos be safe and have a great day and a wonderful Fourth Sam

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Thank you, glad you like the videos. We could certainly be better about our verbiage for sure, especially when there are 4 people all talking live on the headsets. The headsets have certainly helped immensely in the communication on jobs like this though, compared to the yelling back and forth like we did years ago.

It looked like you were precariously close to the overhead hydro lines, you didn't mention them in your comments but no doubt they were in the back of your mind.

[@rickhamons-1076]

We enjoy the videos. Was this on 99? Could you tell the locations for the local viewers my dad know ur dad and Grandpa and lives in Willard and watches

[@rickhamons-1076]

Knew

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

This one was on 98 south of Plymouth a few miles

[@MarkMiller-nl6ud]

Do you watch Cassie you tube videos those new yank em protecters for rope is nice?

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

Yes. We have been using almost everything from Bailey's Synthetics now. The blue urethane sleeve like we used on the rear of the trailer is very protective, and we just need to order more of them.

[@billflora2076]

If u guys are towing the Mack from front why tie steering wheel

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

We always tie the steering wheel when front towing so that the steer tires don't turn short one way and hang outside the fender well. Just my preference, more for a clean line of sight when looking in the mirrors while driving.

[@davidmeagher1212]

Why not just Wench it out the box truck ?

[@WilcoxGarageRecovery]

The ditch was a lot deeper than it looked in the video, and we had the rotators there.

[@trevinoantone2765]

You guys should watch Pepes Towing causing you guys are taking way to long and not only that but you guys or the operator just sounds so bored/tired at that

[@andrewdevene6519]

I think what you meant to say was, "That was a good video showing how professionals do it without causing more damage. Also, the operator clearly sounds calm and level-headed. "

[@trevinoantone2765]

Can't please everyone. I would rather take a little bit longer to save damaging a $65K trailer instead of making a Hollywood debut 😂
