Ron Pratt also says something like, there’s multiple ways to reach 10. So apparently the rim sling zip tie group only partially pays attention.

Yep. I use the same theory in how I approach education. How I do things will be different because of how I think.

[@Bingo1Dog]

​@cclngthr when I was taking freshman algebra in college I didn't like how the professor was teaching how to do whatever it was so I just didn't pay attention and did it the way I was taught in HS. Friends in class (and their friends in that same professors class at a different time) didn't understand what to do so during lunch I showed all of them the way I was doing it and it just clicked for them.

As someone who has watched Ron Pratt videos for a few years now and just recently watching yours, I understand everyone does things differently. In a sense it's refreshing and insightful. As Ron likes to say, there are many ways to get to ten on a job, and essentially that's what you are doing Casey. I appreciate the job you do and that you're willing to bring us along. Sometimes I like making suggestions, but it's one of those you don't know if the person you are making the suggestion to has tried it previously.

Casey, we all have our own ways of doing things, just because one person says it’s right for them it doesn’t mean it’s right or needed for you, if others put zip ties on their rim slings it doesn’t mean you have to do the same, if someone jumped off a cliff do you have to do it also just because they did? No of course not, you do what you do (which is an amazing job with amazing videos) and let others do what they do. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming. There is always going to be someone who believes they know better than you but hey, that’s their choice.

It’s the trailers you can’t use an impact on. The lug nuts on the trailers are greased and only tighten to 55ftlbs. You can use a 1/2 inch impact to zip them off, but you have to put them back on by hand and use a torque wrench.

[@gold5th]

Some of the new Milwaukee impacts have an auto feature... they'll full torque to break a lug nut loose, but stop at about 50ft lbs when tightening.. I have 1 gen older 1/2"... it's a tempting feature, but not enough to drop an extra $400+ on an impact.

[@tetedur377]

I worked at UHaul Repair Center outside Philly while I was going to college. I got the job based on my previous 20 years as an auto mechanic. I don't remember ever seeing one of those things without heavy brake dust all over the front wheels, both because people overload them, and, as any OTR trucker can tell you, they drive them way too fast. 45 MPH limit on the trailers, for example, clearly doesn't mean them.

Casey, that Milwaukee impact gun has multiple modes. That mode slows down so when the lug nut comes off the stud it doesn't get launched, in your case into traffic, and you don't have to chase them. If you don't like it put it on setting 3 and let it ring!

I wonder if this falls into the category of "Oh Shit" on the part of THAT driver? Curious, why would they say no impact wrenches. only torque? Are they afraid the nuts will come loose and fall off?

[@mahbriggs]

Pretty much! Impacts are notorious for either tightening things too tight, or not enough! If you have ever had a wheel nut you could not get loose, it was probably put on with a impact! The same if you have ever had one come loose, unless you put them on by hand and forgot to tighten them! 🫢 Oops!

[@ionstorm66]

Also over torquing lugs can damage the stud, lug or wheel. You can also warp the rotor and hub.

Casey ,I watch you, Murphy's Diesel,Ron Platt ,Plaza Towing, Everything Auto just to see the various ways that they implement during the recovery work that they do ,in most I believe most are on the same page ,and the most important thing is how as a operator you all think and approach the job . The key must be in how you guys explain the reasons why The good thing is that many towing operators will watch and make comments or suggestions.

Over 40 years ago, I rented a 24' U-Haul to move from IL to AZ. I had so much weight that 1.5" of the rear mud flaps were ground away. Same truck got 4.5 mpg whether loaded or unloaded. There is along hill from Camp Verde to Phoenix where my top speed was 17mph, in 2nd gear. I could wind it out and go 20mph, bang 3rd, but it would just slow down. It was a very long trip!

[@geoffreysmith3196]

If that u-haul is as unevenly (poorly) loaded as it looks, it's going to be a bit dicey taking it back to where it needs to go for salvage. Best of luck with that chore, and please be careful.

[@ionstorm66]

If it was legally rented, uhaul will empty the contents into a storage unit for you after an accident. Though idk if that happens with a DUI. Happened to a buddy when a trailer shredded a tire and rolled onto its side. They wouldn't let him empty it at the accident. They took the whole trailer back. Itemized the contents, emptied it into a storage unit. They had someone there when he retrieved them and documented anything that was damaged. They paid for everything damaged, including the uhaul cardboard boxes.
