The Luckiest Man Alive! (Two Wrecker Recovery!)

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

Saturday morning some hot white castle sliders, a cold refreshing beverage, and a nice cup of recovery with the murphys diesel boy's.my prayers and condolences go out to the family of the operator who lost his life on the job,please people those yellow light are just as important as the red and blue slow down and move over .

[@MURPHYSDIESEL]

A nice cup of recovery is always the best way to start the day.

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

@@MURPHYSDIESEL murphys diesel always on point whether on a recovery or in the comments just a classy crew.

[@dh0123]

That's one job I don't miss doing I drove a heavy wrecker for 10 plus years out of Maryland. That blue KW that you ordered looks gorgeous can't wait to see that on the road.

[@normanott644]

We have a local truck wrecking yard here and they buy wrecks from the insurance companies then haul them in for salvage. The drivers can’t keep up hauling in all of the destruction caused by steering wheel holders.

[@MichaelOliveras-qv8jt]

I love all the tombstone remarks. As my favorite movie

[@lavonneclark6029]

Great recovery!! Can't believe people won't slow down & move over!

[@donlum9128]

Absolute respect to you & crew. Always be safe enough.

Thanks Don!

One helluva job, men. I don’t know how much you charge for this kind of recovery but you deserve every penny.

[@kendallkilgore7799]

Love all the support the local authorities are giving you as far as traffic control goes! How about they close down a lane for you!

[@michealbridger782]

Totally agree with this statement about lack of help from state agencies. You guys must have your head on a swivel at all times.

[@edwardstephens247]

It takes a real professional to handle a recovery like this! Great job guys.

[@EquipmentAttachments]

Wrecker Rick can move a mountain with a small wrecker but almost gets whipped by a box. 🤣 Great recovery and vid. 👍🏼

[@MURPHYSDIESEL]

When Wrecker Rick is having trouble that's how you know it's staged.

[@mr.george-pht]

thats it! u did it now! u brok the seal! they gonna refuse the load LOL

[@1badelf61]

Perfect as always , always a shame that people drive with their heads up their x$&@es and don’t move over and give you guys the room and respect you deserve you’ve earned by doing these dangerous recoveries. Rick you’re the best chicken slinger I’ve ever seen. God speed and always be safe.

[@PursellJr88]

Man I was thinking the same thing... I hate watching drivers refuse to move into the hammer lane when they see a wrecker or police on the side of the road

[@mikef6879]

Its state law in a lot of states to slow down and move over. Unfortunately, alot of these recoveries dont have police around to provide traffic management/enforcement. Drives me crazy as well

[@jimkershaw6376]

The skill and knowledge of the entire crew is really something to watch. keep up the good work gentlemen!

[@MURPHYSDIESEL]

Thanks Jim!

[@bradledger3347]

Nice job, that driver fell asleep, they sit there all day at the processing plant waiting to get loaded, they be plucking chickens to load him. That's probably why you see so many of those wrecks, drivers just want to get the heck out of dodge

[@freespeach942]

You should try and see if yankom ropes would design a big net ya could use to hold in box sides.

[@trentnay5786]

Assholes on the road can see your lights a mile away yet won't move over!!! I've been almost hit twice thank goodness I can jump on the rollback quick. Great recovery 👍 keep the great content coming and show us your fleet of trucks

[@MURPHYSDIESEL]

Thanks Trent! I'm sure we'll do a video on the fleet stay tuned!

[@indiandoc2]

I worked at grocery store in high school, worked in meat department. When chicken went on sale, usually on Wednesday, I started cutting up chicken on Monday as soon as it came off truck, every 2 minutes I put one on the tray to be wrapped $ weighted. By Friday they were waiting on me to cut em up. I worked there 2 years, can’t imagine how many chickens I cut up.

[@jamessmith7691]

As always you and the crew did a good albeit a dangerous job. I like the way you explain some of the details of the job.

Thank you very much!

[@ryanpaulson7653]

I watched this from start to finish... very cool recovery, guys. 👍😎👍 Another job well done.

[@loadedhot1034]

Have some friends that do recoveries and they had a Wendys truck that looked just like that. Everything perishable was to be given away and the other stuff went on another truck. I ate chicken nuggets and wendys chicken for months.

[@mikelockhart1827]

My name is Mike Lockhart I am going to start watching your videos because this on KZbin which this one is new to me .

[@joeystowing7806]

Guys well done from a wrecker operator in South Africa. Still my dream to operate a rotator wrecker. God bless

[@MURPHYSDIESEL]

Thanks for watching! 🇺🇸

[@donaldsmith6404]

I had one like this with a V103 and a 5130. I had a hard time getting the little truck to anchor

[@craigsturman6661]

Thanks! Now I have to go watch Tombstone again!

[@NetworkingArtist]

Not only are the tracks new on the tractor, from the last recovery, but I noticed the green tassel on the wrecker too!😝

[@MURPHYSDIESEL]

It was on there for a while, I like to take trophies

[@Chillin-fpv]

I would love to come out and work with you for a couple weeks , I could learn so much from you and have a blast doing it.

[@Frank-xm1sx]

One thing I never could understand people are starving out there but on stuff like that you gotta take it to the dump. When it’s perfectly good, never even touched the ground everybody’s afraid.

[@edwardstephens247]

Another great recovery!

[@clairbaughman7892]

Hey man learned about your channel from Tim Gentry and Son luv the content awesome videos does Dot not help u with traffic control we do in PA

[@ryanalbert2]

Hey Rick. U got some cool toys. We have dropped a lotta trench boxes in the hole for kinder Morgan. Had some pretty cool straps and slings our own selves. Wish we had some ur stuff. Stay classy man

[@edgeofeternity101]

I've noticed in a few recoveries that the sidewall comes open on the trailer. Would it be worth strapping a couple wide straps to try to keep the contents from coming out? You probably already thought of that, just trying to be helpful.

Got ourselves another cascadia lol no sir you got yourself another victim of the flip flop mafia

[@goodguygto]

Well!, what do you know?, then again, there's a lot of them out there!! Those Freight-shakers!!😲😲

[@fyrman9092]

I'm surprised by the construction of u-turns, or lack there of. I've seen in NY where the shoulders near the turn are wider to allow for deceleration of snow plows and police. As a firefighter and EMT, it was a challenge to get up to speed on a highway.

[@1984xlx]

With that ThermoKing destroyed, on a nice warm day, I'll bet that chicken was very fragrant! You might inquire if the chicken can be donated to "Keepers of the Wild" in Valentine. They have a lot of big cats that could eat it.

[@MURPHYSDIESEL]

It didn’t smell like chic-fil-a that’s for sure!

[@lyndonhamby7432]

Awesome job fellas 👍👍

[@terrypearl8144]

That's one thing about towing a lot of people are rude when they drive by don't slow down or move over,to many tow trucks drivers get killed.my husband new a few people he worked with in Detroit got killed from other drivers.😥

[@garlandremingtoniii1338]

What a chicken of a mess that was!! And talk about stinking when all of that starts to rot. Whew, BOY!! that was an excellent cleanup. There, near the end with the skid steer. And, the ground looked very good when you fellas were done. I am somewhat surprised that, The, department of public safety? I forget right now what the generic name is that would cover all the lower 48 states for the department that will come out and either block traffic, or get traffic to move over.. Up here the highway patrol handles all that but I believe you would’ve had to call them out not sure right now that was dicey. That’s for sure! but you got it done and nobody got hurt. And that, is what counts.

[@juanmcdonald7297]

I give you respect, man my back is hurting just watching you throw that shit around.. i really enjoy the videos..

[@MURPHYSDIESEL]

Thank you!

[@jamesparks1966]

Rick do you guys have a service truck go with you guys on these highway recovery jobs ? Have an idea for something to help out with the safety of you guys when your out towing so these people don’t keep killing you tow folks my brother is a heavy recovery guy down in Kentucky and he has the same issues worried about getting run over when you’re trying to do your job

The highway patrol could have a Hey day

[@CSltz]

Do you have any signs or vehicles up road to try and get the traffic to slow down and move over? Surely there’s at least a cop car or two with the lights on!

[@MURPHYSDIESEL]

We have signs…if we really need to we will put a vehicle up the road.

[@CSltz]

@@MURPHYSDIESEL I used to work for the state. They had us out there to have them lane shift. Or just stop them from getting on the interstate. State law here in Illinois says that we can’t use blue lights on the back of the plows or bumper trucks. That’s about the only color most of the people can see. I’m sure you’ve got some stories too. But if I may. We had a young girl drive around those big orange dump trucks. With those bump trailers behind them just like a salaam course. No cops where you need them. I put out 3 signs for construction ahead. And they were on a curve. I heard this car coming and I swear that he was using the signs as shift points. And there is was with my safety vest and sign panel. He was surprised to say the least. I’m just glad that I heard him coming. I don’t need to tell you to be careful. But do it anyway.😁Merry Christmas to you and all the crew. There’s some strange folks out there.

[@jerrypatterson6356]

Chicken wreck? Have you ever recovered a "live chicken" roll over load? Dead, smelly carcus clean up with snow plow (in 80 degree weather) and shovels. I was lucky, I got to drive the casualty away without doing any of the post recovery clean up. Stay classy!

[@anonymousinc6330]

I seem to remember something about a steering defect under recall on newer Cascadias. Was that a factor in this one? Did it come out of the opposing traffic lanes? You probably don't want that chicken anyway... You might remember seeing the word HALAL on the boxes. Halal is some sort of Muslim religious slaughtering ritual, that means it is not slaughtered and processed to normal USDA standards.

[@paulzammataro7185]

Why don't you look things up before you comment? Maybe it's like Kosher? Maybe it's better than USDA standards??

[@joshbutterfass5251]

I’m curious to know if that the people who causes those accidents have any clue that they are putting the tow truck drivers lives in danger just because they are the ones who have to be there to rescue the truck that is on a busy highway damaged because the driver of that truck is not experienced enough to be driving that truck
