Dump Truck Stuck in Muddy Disaster!

[@roadgeneral]

Just an old retired trucker who enjoys watching you guys work your magic. You have some amazing equipment to work with. Thanks for taking us along with you.

[@galewinds7696]

I drove a wrecker 50 years ago, picking up cars a few pickups, you guys give "tow service" a completely different meaning. Great work, I would enjoy doing what you guys do, at my age I can only watch someone else do this. Be careful.

@jimmydwallace lmao the boss quit??? Weird, I didn't hear about that

[@lindaroth4529]

What a fantastic video . I've never driven a truck so to me this is amazing. Thanks so much for this.

[@frankmartin8471]

Big Flipper is such a beast. It pulled that dump truck out at barely off idle. Really impressive.

[@stellarproductions8888]

That non-loaded dump truck couldn't have weighed over 30K, which is nothing for Flipper so I agree. Flipper starts to flex its muscles once you get to 50K and up. And when that turbo winds up, you know a recovery is about to happen.

[@petermccuskey1832]

Love the drone shot. Easy winch out. Thanks for sharing. Stay Safe.

[@glennjukes5581]

Good work again-Alex!! Talking about Alex using that truck all the time-people usually don't realize what a mess is made when you 'slip-seat' different drivers in a truck like that--stuff gets missing/broken/lost-then when it's needed you can't find it. Yes-it means a lot more hours for Alex, but that is the tow biz.

[@lynnmeese55]

Josh, i sent the 360° camera footage to a great KZbinr in Arizona. They were gifted a 360 camera. They didnt know how it worked. Told them it was awesome ❤. Keep them coming guys!!🎉

[@PepesTowingService]

They can be tricky, but KZbin is full of tutorials. That's how I taught myself.

[@imagseer]

Good point about the steady slow pull being best to keep the line intact.

[@shirleyallen6072]

Alex: you are so calming for the customers when you set-up all the rigging...amazing!

Nice little video. I'm glad Alex gave Flipper a little pat on his "head" for doing a good job!!😊😊

Always a surprise and a pleasure to get a Monday video. I think it is time for a container video. Thanks for the video and the explanation.

I never spent any sort of time in Malibu, though I've been through there fairly often. Malibu really is at the bottom of the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains. You can get there several ways, as isolated as it feels. I think most people come up Highway 1, up through the coast cities, but you can go north on 101, and drive toward the Naval base at Camarillo, which is the long way, but you can also go a couple of ways off the 101 around Calabasas and Aguora Hills, though I wouldn't do either of them at night, if you've never been. A lot of people are surprised at a couple of things about the Southern California coast. The first is how semi-arid it is right up to the Pacific, in most places. The flora reflects that Bottom line: if they don't water in Southern California, grass doesn't grow. The other thing that surprises people is how cloudy, overcast, foggy, and gloomy it is for much of the year, especially along that 10-mile section along the coast. Basically, west of I-5. April showers, May gray, and June gloom all apply, and it hangs around until at least 10:00 until noon, and then returns in the evening hours as it cools off. July, August, September, and into October are more your stylized image of sunny, bright Southern California, and then the fog, the rain, the cooler weather starts rolling back in.

[@tperki2322]

Matt's Off Road Recovery would have done that with the Banana and kinetic ropes. LOL, no not really. Easy peasy job for Alex and BF. Thanks!

[@BFT88]

Fab Rats did it with a loaded tanker truck, kinetic rope, and their supercharged tow truck. Difference is a heavy wrecker does it in a much more controlled fashion lol.

[@legend7ify]

............Yes, I wondered why he didn't. Maybe it was not thought of/required as part of delivery.

[@EyeMWing]

I’d wager the gravel wasn’t for the drive and dumping it in the drive was ‘well this is as close as I’m getting so do you want it here or not at all?’

[@fhazen01]

I have also never seen grates on road unless it's a gated community? Usual job I like these. Good explanation & 📷 camera work oh gosh power lines too wow. Long reach to Alex. Our farmers have them (grates at the begaining of driveway too

[@Mercmad]

Looks like it was a cattle/Dairy Farm in the past .That's what we call a 'cattle stop' here as cows and sheep won't /can't walk over it and I'd say it's one reason the place looks like a swamp.

[@RLTango]

The grates are "trackout control" plates for the construction site's exit. It's part of the project's stormwater pollution prevention (SWPP) likely required as part of their construction permit. The grooves cause a rumble as you drive over that helps knock the dirt, mud, and rocks off the tire treads when you exit the site. The site is then required to sweep the road at the end of the day to keep excess sediment out of the neighborhood's storm drain system and local creeks.

[@Kevin-go2dw]

@@RLTango Here in Australia I have seen those grates deployed to help keep the streets clean of mud. Do not want to upset the neighbors, or local council.

In the olden days, Shredder would have pulled it out by hand.

[@haroldsmith45302]

Good video, thank you. You get a physical fitness workout every day. At about 15:15 you mentioned something about watching the winch red line or the winch red light. It is possible that I misheard. Is there a cable-tension-indicating light somewhere on the light bar attached to the rotating portion of the truck?

[@glennjukes5581]

No--His hooks are painted different colors-to coincide with the same color control handles on the truck and the remote.

[@haroldsmith45302]

@@glennjukes5581 So he was watching the wire rope that was attached to the red hook?

For whatever reason, they only wanted the dump truck moved.

[@walkingwithdogs8547]

Hay Alex a question I'm interested to know why you hook upwards and not downwards?😊

[@KevinPerry-wi5dw]

If you hook downwards it's easier to come disconnected

[@williamgarden3209]

In the event of a hook failure the equipment is propelled to the ground instead of airborne, possibly injuring someone or causing damage.

[@glennjukes5581]

@@williamgarden3209 That is the right answer-hook [point always faces up.

[@glyngosnell]

I wish I could afford a drone like what you use I would love to have that

[@roadgeneral]

Josh, I notice that you guys almost always use a double cable through a snatch block system on your jobs. I watch other recovery guys using just a single line and rarely use a snatch block. I know the snatch block increases the pulling strength. Is it just the way the truck is set up?

[@roadgeneral]

Why was Big Flipper spec’d out without an under reach??

[@herbpetee75]

Did ya have to get the bobcat out too ?? It looked pretty buried in mud too😮

[@Mercmad]

Dumping gravel won't work there .That looks like a drain needs to be installed .Even their skid steer is bogged down. And was it rain water or Sewage?

It’s no wonder he got stuck. If the rear tires are bald like the front, he’s wheels are spinning. If I was a law enforcement officer, I’d be taking down the license plates and go down and do an inspection on that dump truck.

[@Bigskypathfinder1791]

Just think you could hit the John handle your business come out and your truck would be just passing you ready for the next job. But that would be an expensive porta John break.

[@JohnR406]

Did the dump truck driver leave it running the whole time he was waiting for you to arrive? Doesn't California have anti-idling bylaws? We all need to do our part to reduce needless air pollution.

[@Mercmad]

Anti idling laws? God give me strength.

[@BFT88]

That truck puts out less pollution idling than your car does. As a mechanic myself, if the government was so concerned with the environment we’d all be driving diesel hybrids, not EV or Gas powered vehicles.
