Concrete Truck Hits a Guardrail! Heavy Duty Police Rotation!

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Awesome I appreciate you being there to give a hand with the other hook driver. But you didn't know you asked and that's a great person

[@SnickasBah]

Insanely powerful equipment.

[@TowMan127]

Damn that’s a hard hit. Great to see you helping and learning. 💪💪💪

[@kevinshort4098]

A suggestion for you and your buddy, put blocks under the tires it only takes one and you could get hurt if something was to go wrong. I've done heavy recovery and you used straps to secure that load instead of actual chains. I've never used straps to secure a heavy tow only chains. Also you got to pull the drive shaft.

Lotta professionals in this comment section 🤔 I, personally, enjoy these videos. I prefer to enjoy the content rather than tell someone how to do their job. lol

[@josephcox4319]

I agree, like I tell all the internet professionals, post there videos and show us all how it's really done.

[@alexanderlacy4005]

I love your videos man, you are definitely a talented smart operator, but poor ole Donnie, he’s either very inexperienced, untalented, or just has no common sense at all, because every video of yours that I’ve seen him in, his decision making skills, and just the way he operates, show his inexperience and lack of common knowledge of this trade! I been in heavy wrecker industry my whole life, and he just doesn’t have it. Lol.

[@rjcamp1967]

If he doesn’t care about what he is towing He doesn’t care about that beautiful wrecker

[@damkayaker]

Donnie NEVER gives you enough slack to unhook the hook. In a rush to run off and look at something. I find him to be... annoying to watch. I know... nobody's forcing me to watch.

[@92mrsrdb]

If Donnie is on a video I end up watching something else. He may own the business but he doesn't know towing.

[@charlieirvin5423]

Thank you for sharing your post I enjoyed this .

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TtoncenturyDriver]

Me personally I’d chain forked it and tapped the compressor or dryer and put safety on as you tied it down then driveshaft pulled then lights

[@thook9951]

Sneaker and no PPE Texas must have some very lax rules. Our insurance would drop us so fast. Not to mention state police can and will ticket the operator for not wearing PPE. If yall get run over and not wearing class 3 hi viz you will lose in court. The job is dangerous enough without adding unnecessary risks

[@ccarr656]

That was a hell of a lick.

[@tjobcorp]

You would be kicked off the accident scene If I was there. No safety PPE worn. Immediate boot and onto the next on duty hook company.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Had all mine on. Things aren’t as strict down here as it is in other states. As long as you clear the road, they don’t care down here.

[@Leotheconstructionguy]

Aww Officer Karen 😂

@@tjobcorp what are you going to do 😂😂😂

[@derekmason4987]

I'm surprised you used straps to secure that load instead of actual chain to control that weight

[@ewanbaxter9199]

Did you say you were just going to tow it out of the way to the spare land at the side, it's all rigged up to take it away from the scene (Lights, chains). The tow truck driver seems like a Newby, he got in front by 6 turns, could've done it in 2 - reverse hard left, forwards hard right, and didn't listen to your advice

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

It went to our yard.

[@scottkrieger4701]

A suggestion for you and your buddy , put blocks under the tires it only takes one time before that person has a permanently bad day. 6 feet under, you get the idea . I've done towing also.also turned a wrench for 34 years.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Definitely would be a good idea on the next one. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@allenjordan5248]

Looks like a job for J&M wrecker out of Flute Texas, Midwest towing from Missouri would have done in half the time

[@phillipalston5649]

Midwest towing would have took forever to do!

[@brianmason8400]

Midwest towing, or Midwest Truck from Scott City,Mo? Midwest Truck w Ron Pratt would have easily handled it as well. Not saying you did anything wrong, there's more than one way to accomplish most tasks. You get it done w no injuries or additional damage, that's a win!

[@Leotheconstructionguy]

Aww someone is jealous

[@VikingDudee]

Idk, I like watching Ron Pratt, but they are vary slow at what they do even for simple jobs. But its for the sake the of quality work though, kinda like that episode where the rear axle of that little dodge plow truck broke, they took ages.

[@markroderick3300]

Did he pull the driveshaft? That truck is automatic it needs to be pulled.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

I believe he did after we cleared the road.

[@bianca6586]

A very good Video

[@chrisboek2346]

If u can put on air brakes know it's a harder pull but it helps the rear end track straight will come to u another thing should have hooked up under the truck to a frame or axle as it's more structural

[@alexanderlacy4005]

Another thing that proves Donnie‘s lack of common knowledge, is the fact he did not take the drive line out of that truck, you always take the driveline out when you told from the front, because the driveline can do damage to the transmission! SMH 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

We almost always do, not sure why he didn’t on this one.

[@alexanderlacy4005]

@@Towtruck_Dustin yeah, it’s always good to drop the drive line, especially on an automatic, because even in neutral mode, it is still turning the inter shaft in the transmission, and once up get above 20 mph the clutches start looking up turning friction, but because the torque converter is not turning, the transmission is not building oil pressure, witch due to all the internal friction, it will eventually burn the transmission up. It just does not seem like Donnie has the experience you have, and Donnie could stand benefit from taking your advice, but from what I have seen in your videos, he does not take your advice and messes up more than what is necessary.

[@acmext]

Only people in scene without safety vests or colors on.

[@acmext]

No back up alarm either. Geez guys. Safety chains? “No”.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

I always have mine on. I even my Dog wears high vis lol

[@markcoleman2156]

Where are the safety boots ,hardhats, etc.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Our company doesn’t require that.

[@dereckjtbear2175]

Until someone dies Or loses their toes. Not even safety shoes but running training shoes is bizarre.

[@scottkrieger4701]

Hi is that a 50 fix boom wrecker.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

This is our 35 Ton wrecker.

[@derekperkins8158]

wow, that wasn't good..

[@steveshipkie1624]

Have you ever done a heavy haul pick up

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

I don’t have my CDL, but I held on heavy duty accidents occasionally

[@steveshipkie1624]

So... where was the rotator?

[@scottkrieger4701]

[@Towtruck_Dustin]
