Q:What camera do you use?
A: I use the Go Pro Hero 7 Black Edition primarily. Often times you will see auxillary cameras in use. Those cameras include The Go Pro Hero 6, Hero, and DJI Mavic Pro Platinum
Q: How big Is your rotator?
A: It is a 50 ton Miller Industries Vulcan 950
Q: Does the carriage slide back like Ron Pratt's?
A: No, the carriage doesn't slide back due to strict weight laws in California. The sliding carriage will make the truck to heavy in CA
Q: Why do you only have 3 winches on the rotator?
A: Comes down to weight again as stated above
Q: How many trucks Does Plaza Towing have?
A: Currently more than 30
Q: Why must the driveshaft be removed to tow a vehicle?
A: When vehicles are not running the transmission is not receiving circulating lubricant. If the driveshaft is left installed, the transmission, which is not receiving lubricant, is still spinning. This allows it to get very hot which eventually will cause major damage to the transmission. Therefore, removing the driveshaft completely eliminates the transmission from spinning. Simply leaving it in neutral is not sufficient since the transmission still spins in neutral.

You’re one of those kids that showed up at the DMV in some gigantic machine. They didn’t even make you take the test because you were able to get there in that godawful contraption :)

[@e020443]

Crossing your lateral chains gives you a better angle to avoid the load shifting sideways, assuming there are pickup points which allow it. Everyone knows that fore and aft chains need to oppose each other, but so do the lateral ones, and if you don't cross them, the angles are not nearly so acute. I used to haul flatbed overdimensional, and respect the dickens for how you and your company does its job. Hang in there.

[@orgcoast5990]

That flat bed is the best trailer I have ever seen.

[@Robertmacmedia]

Where did you tow to city or county ,when I drove for a large cement company if we hauled equipment we crossed our chains to keep equipment from shifting sides I appreciate your channel since I’m in Thailand and Vietnam and just started my own KZbin retired from Southern California 👍😎

[@jaredjohnston9549]

Aw ya power shift transmission very easy to drive. If your used to it.

[@laoboy1]

What kinda boot are you using? Great video! 👍

[@mandycole21]

Another great video as usual Also I've got a question for you.....? I know this doesn't really pertain to this video but you did mention unloading the buses so what did yall ever decide with that trailer that yall were looking at in Vegas for hauling the buses and equipment and things of that nature...... was just kind of curious bc you had mentioned it and haven't heard anything more about it since then

[@hotord205]

wow you’re video are great informative keep making them 👍👍👍👍

[@nomercygaming5670]

Hey Trent I wish you filmed the part where you put on the oversize signs because I really would've liked to seen that, and great video

[@dillonjohn3976]

I have never seen that way of chaining I have always run the binder in a straight line with the chain

[@jonnyonwheels]

Man, one thing I hate doing is being overwidth. Rollin with those weights hanging off each side makes me nervous just watching you! Especially considering how much worse drivers are NOW as opposed to when I started driving.

[@Strictdhe]

The new graphics for ATS look so awesome

[@CurtisBlanchard]

Omg smh

[@stephenroberts4895]

Couple of quick questions: 1. Could you give a rough estimate to what this 8520T weighed? 2. The chains you were using were they 3/8 G70 chains?

[@orangecitrus_6705]

I can tell you the first question, they are about 23k lbs

[@michaelmccarthy4615]

Likely not 5/16 inch chain. 3/8 would do it

[@edwinschlee8374]

Not to many things you can't drive so it seems. Good job!

[@dalelewis1016]

Does your Dad watch the videos and critique them?

[@supertrucker6969]

Ok question why do you keep the deck lowered then tie the equipment then raise the deck im not understanding that step but keep up the good videos i learn alot from watching your videos

[@silverperzon]

I'd imagine it's a safety measure to prevent the load from shifting forward or backwards in case of a possible parking brake failure or transmission slipping into neutral while raising the deck.

[@JonFourteen]

wild racer 88 I keep my deck down when doing most of the securing because it’s easier to get at all the good tie off spots. Just my opinion

[@desertrat8322]

Awesome video Trent !!!

[@adamkamm6331]

I’ve never seen anyone do chains like you do, is there a reason you do the 2 points on the deck as opposed to just straight front the unit to one point?

[@billmckelvey602]

Great job Trent

[@limonadd8252]

Beautiful truck! and nice video

[@g-man180gavin7]

Nice video keep it up

Didn't even use enough chains, law requires 6 for that machine.

[@kiddbrother3]

this is ok! but I like recovery work!

[@javonallen2306]

What year is that kenworth

[@borisobrucicov8630]

Yo T, that's a big tractor. Great video bro.

[@jamiefoss4206]
