How to do everything WRONG. Stranded in a snowstorm on the mountain

I don't want to bash on or talk negatively about this particular driver, but this is a perfect case of how to do everything wrong. A lot happened before I even turn the camera on, but between not following directions, walking blindly into traffic, walking behind my wrecker as I'm backing up, calling multiple tow companies, purposely ignoring chain laws, and complaining about the price that you had already agreed to.. I had no patience on this job. It was basically a textbook example of how to put yourself in a bad situation, and make everything more difficult.

Calling multiple companies at the same time to see who shows up first will get you on the DO NOT SERVICE list around here.

[@VACatholic]

If you're willing to pay for that privilege (paying everyone for their time because you're in a hurry and need out now), then I see nothing wrong with it. If you're going to stiff the guy? Then I hope all the tow truck companies share your name and number and the DO NOT SERVICE list.

Not even sure that can be called bashing the driver. You are giving a real time example of what it takes to do your job. That driver is a real world example of the obstacles you have to overcome to do it. Just another example that people should not always act on everything we think is right and sometimes listen to the pro’s we have hired to do something.

[@andm6847]

What I liked most about this video is how well it illustrates Casey’s lighting concept. Starting from the rotating orange to how well it lights up the work area. And the contrast between the areas around the tow truck and the customer truck and the passing vehicles shows how well this is thought out.

[@CaseyLaDelle]

Also notice that there was never lens flair on the camera from the work lights on my truck. All of them are pointed down so that their direct light beam goes to the ground, and the work area is lit with indirect lighting that doesn't blind oncoming traffic with wet windshields. I spent a lot of time at night walking around that truck and adjusting lights

[@davidwoermansr]

I agree I'd have lost my mind for him not staying in the truck then finding out what he tried during a full chain up condition by the time it was time to get the bill taken care of my estimate would've been way low and in the itemized bill I'd write out babysitting would've been expensive and teaching what full chain up means wouldn't be cheap either I'm sure when his company called about those charges it probably would've come out of his check

[@slickbama8322]

Why did it cost so much? To quote James Michner, "to tow you out was only $1, the 20 years it took to learn how costs you $300"

Some people shouldn't even be driving if they didn't understand any of the lessons they were supposed to learn. Especially under inclement driving conditions. Thanks for all of the great lessons Casey. Everyone should listen to their tow truck driver.

[@davidwoermansr]

How much about driving truck can be taught in 4 weeks especially by companies who have you with a trainer for 4 weeks cut you loose on your own and after 6 months of solo driving if you want a raise you can become a trainer I was lucky to grow up in trucks learning to move them around our yard and in the fields as soon as I could reach the pedals (never on the backroads around the farm) I still continue to learn if a situation arises I've never seen I'm not afraid to ask around and learn something instead of screwing up and trying to explain to the insurance man and owner of what I'm hauling how shit got tore up and I'm about to semi-retire as a professional tourist and just stick to the farm trucks and my yearly derbycar loads from the desert and Texas to the land of salt cancered cars

[@alearn3312]

Casey, that was a dangerous job! I'm glad nobody got hurt! It's gotta be difficult for you do get argument about agreed prices. I'm certain you know that in many other countries people expect to bargain for everything. It's often a matter of pride for them, you bargain or you're a chump. Even so, in your place I'd be agitated too! You'd think they'd learn what a quote means and honor it. No blame here for anything you did. You kept your head on a swivel and got the job done without anyone getting hurt. Good for you!

[@kenkizer2206]

Casey, as a Ex Wrecker driver I agree with you 100% when you are risking your life out there sometime it gets scary, I was almost hit on I-5 down by Albany a truck had come close enough to hit my drivers mirror I had to dive under my flatbed to keep from getting hit. Some times you lose your temper... If people get upset when a "word" gets thrown out there from frustration then that is their problem, Stay safe, Gods Speed...

as a new driver I love hearing what professionals do and won't do when on the side of the road, I think it would be awesome if you made a video on roadside safety on what to do and not to do, you can even send it to your customers that need a little extra help understanding what to do

That's the sort of customer you really don't need. Reminds me of a video that went viral in the UK when a recovery guy turned up to change a tire. Not only did the customer try to cancel the entire job, but the tow company driver refused to fit the tire but still left it with them for someone else to fix. The customer ended up climbing up in the recovery guy's truck, and then walked in the busy traffic lanes o to try to stop him leaving. It just escalated down from good intent to bad intent. I've always thought that being rescued is a privilege, not a right.

Problem is, this/that driver would still be a PIA if he had been in his own personal vehicle and slid into a ditch. He still would not have followed any directions Casey would have given to him so that he could have participated in his recovery.

gbsbill, Try driving I-40 across northern AZ in the winter! Most of it is 5,000 ft or higher and some areas get over 100 inches of snow a year. One semi gets stuck in the right lane and the next guy pulls out to pass and gets stuck right next to the first guy!

[@CreativeWebGuy]

It comes down to the age-old triangle of Speed, Quality and Cost. Can only have 2. To show up and have him out in 15 min and not damage or affect his situation in any way ticks the Speed and Quality mark so with that comes Cost. With Casey's knowledge, expertise and equipment you can expect top notch service, but it comes at a cost (as it should). Pick your worth. Go cheap and have another vehicle stuck with you and potential damage to the tractor. Pretty simple.

I get why you were explaining why you were talking to the guy in a stern voice, the part I don't understand are the people who dont understand that that is how you have to talk to some people to get their attention and get them to do what is needed at the time. It has never bothered me if someone is barking orders during tense situation because I understand the gravity of the situation. things can go south very quickly and I dont suffer fools who can get me or someone else hurt. I give respect until someone shows they dont respond to it. Years ago I worked at a ski resort and on the way home I pulled a woman out of the snow bank who had been going too fast. before I could get my straps put away she sped off. this was long before yankum, ( I sure would have loved to have them). a mile down the mountain I found her in the snowbank again. she was in a minivan with front while drive and cables on the tires, but she was just driving too fast. I had told her to slow down but she didn't listen.. so I just waved as I drove past her. she could wait and pay a tow guy.

I can understand your frustration - if things go wrong there, people can die.

I drove tractor trailers all over the country for 40 years and if I needed help and called an expert I listen to what he said and what he told me to do that makes it safer for him and me pay attention

[@robertjordan4880]

Beginning to enjoy these recoveries as much as off road.

[@a.g.prough2070]

'I want him to stay in the truck. Its the safest place.' Previous videos harassed Bruce Cook for doing that very thing.😂

[@joaninga1]

He did that ,to get Bruce, more views.

[@-RyN-23]

Someone doesn't understand sarcasm. The Bruce thing was ti give his channel attention. Never was being serious

[@JohnHallgren]

@@joaninga1and so far, about 4K more subscribers which was a hugh gain for his channel.

[@a.g.prough2070]

​@@-RyN-23 I've been watching Casey for close to two years. He can be rude, crude, educational and entertaining, all at the same time.

[@davidwoermansr]

Bruce isn't the customer he's the tow service their job is being in dangerous places to keep the customer safe

[@RedogZuk]

Sweet video. Please use 4-ways. Both trucks 😎🤘🏼☀️☀️

[@stevenkern5659]

when it is cold and wet you never set all the brakes you just set the tractor brakes because you can normally get them broke loose without have to crawl under it to brake them loose

[@CaseyLaDelle]

I have them set all the brakes every time for our safety

[@keithmalmberg8395]

Some people are just idiots who are not responsible for themselves and will endanger others with no regard.

[@bripslag]

Casey, there's no need to apologize to us for being a bit frustrated and short with that driver. He was a textbook example of what not to do when you need a tow.

[@bertwalts3211]

It’s always best to be nice and pay close attention to your wrecker driver because he is the guy that figures out your bill

[@grantkohler7612]

Even in a bad mood Casey seems mellow, must've been something in the air when he was young in California. Probably just a coincidence but I heard a lot of good things about Humboldt County when I lived in Berkeley in the 90's.

[@grantdavis5992]

My great-grandparents moved to Humboldt County in the 90's...the 1890's that is. One great-grandfather started the Humboldt Creamery in the 1920's.

[@goatranchgaming2922]

LOL kinda figured it was a English is not my 1st languange drivers and the ending proved I was right . Alos Truck drivers chain up when the signs say to if you don't want to chain up stay at a Truck stop until the Road deptment does there job . I know Casey prefers to have your business from getting stuck but play it safe .

[@craigbermes9369]

Casey, don't change a thing about your channel! Well except maybe some 4 wheeling with the Model A or T that you buy!

[@jpocketrocket]

so I have noticed that most of the truckers that you come to the rescue are pretty young and not season veterans truck drivers ,Is that the Norm? Being inexperienced drivers like most of them seem to be ,They don't seem to know the Law of the land , so to speak ,No common sense I guess, It's nice to see you have ethan with you, its nice to have back-up.

[@CaseyLaDelle]

Well of course. The experienced ones know when to put chains on

[@sonnicman]

You definitely were using tact and restraint on this one Casey. But as my Grandfather taught me years ago, “there ain’t no cure for stupid.” and this dude was certainly a few fries short of a Happy Meal. 😂
