M&K Ready Mix Concrete Truck Recovery Operation | Feat. Quiring Towing

[@allentisthammer4763]

Nice job. Glad to hear the driver is going to be okay. Definitely a team effort and a long day at that!

[@donstone4349]

Not for the faint hearted,the pic to upright the unit had me on the edge of my seat.

[@Pjnow1366]

Very cool video and song. Glad the driver survived cause that looked bad. Also awesome to see big Al and the Green Goblin. He seems like a really cool guy. 👍👍👍

[@dennisbelles9236]

Wow! With such a heavy pull, I'm surprised that the only thing tore up was the asphalt. I kept expecting a cable to snap.

[@jeffreymorehead6055]

Quiring is very good at stuff like this

[@sideview79]

Great seeing Big Al 👍👍

Wow big green putting it down!

[@mikesmith8952]

I watched this video because I hadn't seen/heard much from Quiring Towing. With no audio it didn't help much. Looks like Al's wrecker needs a good make over. I doubt he has the free time to be honest. Dangerous work even with two wreckers and the Crane! Great job as always.❤

[@logroll13]

I can tell you first hand that Al is an awesome guy, easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. The best recovery guy on this side of Canada for sure!

​@@logroll13is big Al still going out to wrecks ? What about Gord? I see Jamie pop up from time to time but always wondered about the big green goblin & Gordon his right hand man .

@@jjMcCartan9686 I can't speak on that sadly. I know Al isn't a big fan of the camera crew being around all the time.

Al Quiring Keep the work up

[@fuzzybutkus8970]

Al’s the man. Remember they had him as Jamie Davis competition. Wasn’t no competition if you knew what you were watching.

[@Pkorn94]

And Al has been running the same 50 ton wrecker for how long??same with gords truck.

[@jn1ty]

Last one we did like that we cut the drum loose and hauled the truck up and then the drum. Unfortunately our driver didn't make it. So sad.

[@timjones6123]

Is that AL from highway thru hell operating the green heavy tow truck

[@elijahglasser1421]

Nice tow truck

[@chuckg2016]

Bringing in the crane was the smartest move possible.

[@chrisoconnell5143]

❤there is a difference in a concrete truck and a redirect mix truck

[@logroll13]

company name is M&K Ready Mix

[@darrenyoung4893]

business as usual for the crew

[@crushingvanessa3277]

Looks heavy, who fixes the road after this? in this situation.

[@logroll13]

Vernon Paving is owned by Lafarge, as well as M&K Ready Mix so i imagine Lafarge would bite the bullet and fix it, or pay the damages to the district maybe.

[@morg52]

Near the start it shows a substantial amount of concrete came out the back of the mixer. Where is the 90000 pounds figure coming from. It would be lighter than 90000. the truck and mixer will run about 35000 empty.

[@logroll13]

the truck was loaded with 10.6 meters. about 3 meters made it out.

[@chiefvilla3167]

Rodeway didn't look too good.🤷🏽‍♂️. Glad the driver was alright. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🤚🏽🙋🏽‍♂️

[@lucmarchand617]

When this thing roll make hell mess.i work in calgary many years ago we got roll over with semi yes due concrete stuck inside drum on curve is was mess.this very cotsly towing invoice.😮

[@patrickhuebner38]

Why don't you have 4 X4 is cut to the correct length to wedge in between your two drives to hold the truck still better

[@thomasschafer7268]

Und die komplette Straße kann auch neu!! Läuft bei euch 😅😅

[@jmWhyMe]

It's too bad you can't anchor to those trees or something for counter pull. The spades weren't that effective and they completely destroyed the road!

[@chrisoconnell5143]

Who pays for new road?

[@redbone1015]

Bout 20 some years ago I watch front end concrete truck flip over on it top side

[@danzmitrovich6250]

Call in the green goblin and other wreckers for this call and you will have it done before the rcmp says is this road going to be reopen any time soon

[@DanielFajardo-xn5ip]

👍💯

Who is going to pay for the new road? Al? 🤦

The trucks liability Insurance.

How much did that recovery cost

[@logroll13]

With everything including wages i'm gonna estimate around $40,000

[@marcialrivas5870]

You guys know that you need Jamie Davis rotator

[@jaymassy9395]

That a tough mixer, put some fuel it, check the oil and run it, hope the driver was o.k.

[@logroll13]

Frame is bent 12 ways from Sunday both ways and had a suspension failure.

[@markroderick3300]

The mixer truck matches the color of the truck that towed it away...lol

[@johnmcgarvie4061]

Where was Plan B ?

[@richardrice8076]

Plan B was plan A😉.

[@paulmatakovich9096]

Why u need a 100ton rotator

[@logroll13]

The main truck for pulling was the green wrecker (50 ton), and the yellow wrecker (25 ton) was there for an anchor and pulling assist, to get the truck up on the road we had a crane from Alpha Crane that was capable of 100 tons, to help lift approximately 20,000lbs of weight from the back of the truck. This was due to the truck having around 6 meters of concrete left in it.

[@fastst1]

@@logroll13 Easier on the road than pulling out a pair of winch cats!

[@logroll13]

There were live powerlines on the opposite side of the road and the permits required for the crane would have been exponentially harder to obtain.

[@danx9764]

Sometimes the job just ain't pretty.

[@daviddamico4288]

What a mess

[@chrisoconnell5143]

That is a concrete truck

[@TKM1951]

Not much to salvage there

[@jimsmith9819]

should have brought in tow cranes and eliminated the destroyed road

[@johndoran3274]

That can’t be a blacktop road, it has to be tar and chip. If that is supposed to be blacktop, I’d be a pissed off taxpayer at how thin and weak it is.

[@donmunro144]

Where i live it's not uncommon for highway departments to put down a 2 inch cap on the roads rather than rip them up and start over. Judging by the look, that's what happened here. But I believe they skipped putting the tack layer between them.
