Nice 518 skidder

[@WilliamQuisno]

How did you film along the truck as you were driving up the pavement? It was a nice angle of filming

[@BobbieJeanM]

I absolutely love your shenanigans videos! This definitely qualifies! The people who said you shouldn’t take a long truck on that road didn’t know Casey’s driving skills! 💕😊👌💕👍

[@genejones7124]

Always impressed with Casey's foresight, foreword thinking, and pre-planning

[@cindysilfies5505]

Pretty awesome that cats worked hard, but the original owner took damn good care of it for it to sit for that length of time and not to have no issues

[@ClimptonDiddlehopper]

I wouldn't say took care of or no issues but it started. It was iffy it cranked so slow but it did start.

[@BFVgnr]

The view from your office window continues to amaze and astound. What a great way to start a saturday!

I really like this trailer... the scissor ramp is way better than the other system that detaches

[@wesjohnson3035]

Great Job driving , Casey! ESPECIALLY whild holding the video stick!!! amazing!!

[@glenncombs3471]

You removing the gravel from your trailer to prevent damage to other vehicles (about 18:20) says a great deal about you, Casey.

[@UNCLEBGA]

Oh yes. Also that's mandatory in Canada.

[@SlipFitGarage]

Well, it IS the law... 😉

[@anacleta424]

But guy’s not every citizen follows the LAWS ✌️

[@SlipFitGarage]

@@anacleta424 Commercial truck drivers who regularly get lose gravel and sand on the their truck follow the laws because if they don't it easily results in commercial tickets from the DOT. We're not talking about the average ticket a cop gives to someone driving a car, we're talking about commercial vehicle tickets written by the DOT..... who, by the way, can pull you over at any time WITHOUT a reason. If you don't brush your truck off, you WILL get tickets from the DOT.... and it doesn't take many tickets from them for a driver to get his act together. Casey was just doing what he and every other commercial driver is required to do. I have wiped (swept) sand and gravel off my lowboy trailers and the back of my dump trucks literally hundreds of thousand of times over the last 30+ years as a commercial driver. Casey did the right thing, for sure.... but so does everyone else in the this business. What you saw Casey do is the rule, not the exception.

[@glenncombs3471]

Agreed that this is the law, but I've lost a windshield following a dump truck before. All the laws in the world won't stop thoughtless idiots. The fact that Casey showed this is classy, IMHO.

[@desireegoulett69]

Your experience hauling oversized loads, paid off big time. You made this whole recovery look easy and that expensive piece of equipment sat there for years, just waiting for you to get the right combination of equipment.

[@knoester7714]

Another successful and good recovery job guys

[@wendy833]

That purchase was awesome. And it starting was even better. The Meatloaf Sami shop was a nice extra.

[@boh348]

That was cool video of how smooth they are supposed to go. I saw a trailer like yours years ago that had one very short and very fat cylinder in the middle with a 3ft diameter foot on it. This cylinder was mounted in the balance point with the tongue flat. They guy pulled in a tight yard and unhooked. Then with this center cylinder picked the trailer up maybe 4 inches and him and his wife spun the trailer 180 degrees by hand. absolutely the neatest thing I have even seen on a trailer. He said he carried many trackhoes for swimming pool companies in tight neighborhoods and being able to do so was nice. I did not ever see his new trailer he was having built with the same pivot cylinder that he told us would also have steering rear axles to be able to go down alleys in nicer neighborhoods without knocking over gas meters. Very nice job on the recovery for sure. I like the western star allot. good looking truck. I wish international would get there gremlins resolved. We finally just sold all of ours.

[@michaelcauser474]

Good afternoon Mr. Casey. Apart from all your other "crimes' against the KZbin "experts", you really are in the top echelon of genuine professional heavy semi drivers. Great job as usual, with no BS.

[@legogummybear5]

Nice one Casey. You are truly a gentleman !

[@akomni-vr5gt]

That was some good steering! I got almost 2 miilion miles hauling everying in the 7 western states including AK, in last 30 years, with most of it being heavy haul. With every kind of trailer you can imagine.Good job, i thought you were a little light on tools and supplies to "rescue a rig thats been sitting" but i guess everything was in support truck. Good Job!

[@simpledj509chromo7]

I know Casey has plans for that truck, but I'm still wondering what he's doing with it if he's not putting an apartment on that wheelbase. At my last company I was a little over 300 inches with a 53' quad axle chip trailer and as a rookie with only a few years of part time driving under my belt that rig was a pain in the butt in town. Casey has to be 330 on that truck or more. Or maybe the camera is just playing tricks on me.

You sir, are a class act through and thru. And the way you use that 360 cam like you just bought it (although it’s been a long time) speaks to your commitment to quality content.

I’m really digging that scissor neck trailer! Seems like a great design.

[@sumguy00]

that was a fun trip. Good that you have that short trailer. You might not need to have a pin or extra chains when the machine articulates in Oregon, but other areas do require it. Some machines just have a big pin that drops in a hole and its done.

[@CaseyLaDelle]

Wrong. Not required anywhere in the US.

[@sumguy00]

It’s ok for you to admit when you’re wrong Casey

[@chrisrowley3261]

@@sumguy00 Yup, it is required, if you're required to follow FMCSA load securement regulations anyway, guess depends on if the state adopted them or not. 49 CFR 393.130(b)2 : articulated vehicles shall be restrained in a manner that prevents articulation while in transit.

[@krishanson1639]

That went smooth. What a fun video!

[@georgiapatriot4575]

20:30 - a perfect example of "you are driving the TRAILER, not the truck". Very nice setup. This is something I think a lot of drivers don't get. First you get the trailer where you want it set up for the turn and then you position the tractor. The reason this works is that in the first 8 or 10 feet you back up, no input you make to the steering has any affect on the trailer. This means you are just moving the trailer back and forth in the same spot to get the tractor set up to go around the turn. Well done! 👍

[@edduke897]

That looks like it was quite challenging with the camera out the window through the mirror and shifting. Congratulations on doing that.

[@Captain-Max]

So many memories come to mind watching your videos. Way back in 1975, I was a young mechanic for a logging, mining, construction, and forestry equipment dealer. I also drove the single axle roll back truck and helped when needed on heavier equipment hauls. As a young man fresh out of the military, it started my career, which went on to me becoming a Highway Maintenance Foreman for the largest county in Minnesota. I've worked on, around, and with most everything you do and being long retired watching you work really takes me back.
