On this week's episode of Murphys Diesel, follow Wrecker Rick and family on the ROAD TRIP FROM HELL! This was supposed to be a nice little get away to buy a 1969 Peterbilt 351 wrecker with a 750 Holmes. However, as Murphy's Law would have it in this family, we were cursed before the trip started! Wrecker Rick came down with what we thought was a cold the day before leaving. Two days into the trip we got him tested and it's Influenza A!
Day one, Mrs. Wrecker Rick gets a speeding ticket in New Mexico.
Day two, Wrecker Rick had flu brain and left the window down to our pick up in downtown Springfield, Missouri. As you would guess, the truck was ransacked in the night. They made off with Mrs. Wrecker Rick's wallet and one of our cameras. Scum bags. After seeing our truck was robbed, we see we have two flat inside dually tires. Spent a half day at the tire shop getting those fixed. Back on the road and headed to pick up the new trailer we need to buy to haul the 1969 Peterbilt wrecker back to Arizona. Spent that night in Rogersville, Missouri. That evening the kids and Mrs. Wrecker Rick succumbed to the Flu. The family spent day four and five in a hotel while Mrs. Wrecker Rick and the kids rode out the Flu.
Day six, finally made it to Indiana to pick up the wrecker. Loading it up went smooth and we hit the road headed back to Arizona. Ended up in a traffic delay due to a pretty bad multi tractor trailer collision. Lost a camera off the mirror somewhere along the way and had to back track several miles to find it. I forgot which state we were in though.
Day seven we drove through a tornado watch. Then drove through a snow storm in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Finally, we made it home to Arizona. Fired ole Indiana Holmes up and gave him a test drive. It was a trip to remember! We hope you enjoy following us as we overcome all the hurdles thrown at us.

Beardflu sounds like a good name to me.

[@Chris-lp3dm]

Wow that's a lot of bad things to happen on one trip! Had you had your flu shot? I'm nearer to 70 years old and the only times I've had the flu was when I couldn't get a flu shot. Now, at my age, I get it in the arm early in the flu season and then again mid-season. Has kept me healthy so far as the flu is concerned. Anyway, that's a cool old heavy wrecker. The rust is kind of concerning, will be real interested to see how you bring the old beast back up to fighting (er, I mean ... "TOWING") trim!

[@Tysmopars69]

Hey Rick, just a F YI I've owned a Ram 3500. And if you press the lock button or the unlock button several times it will roll your windows down. And if you're not standing beside it, you won't have a f****** clue. Just a suggestion to check Out

[@Saskatchewan_IH_Farmer]

Y’all gotta call that truck Black Blandy!! Or keep it “Big Mo” or the “Big M” for Murphy…. lol. And hello from Saskatchewan 🇨🇦!! Been watching almost since the beginning. I operated a heavy wrecker for years and I still learn new things watching you.

[@Fakeplanetbuster]

dude it did not rust out sitting there it rusted out cause it was driven on salty roads the rust will be everywhere there are way nicer truck down south that cab is full of bondo get out while u can cut your losses and head back !!!!

1. Oh my word, what a trip! Glad everyone is feeling better now 2. The look Mrs. Wrecker Rick gave you when you said "Murphy's Law" after the hypothetical of having to buy a new truck....

Well you will never forget this trip, that is for sure. I bet you don't forget to roll the windows up on your truck again either! I was totally amazed that the truck actually started and ran with a little bit of help. Great video despite all the set backs. Get some rest and get over that bug. Thanks for taking us all along on your 'vacation' trip!

Jesus!! This realky was a rough trip!! But for that wrecker it was worth it...that gmc wrecker lokked awesome!! You dont see those around anymore.hope you and family feels better abd hopefuyou recoup some of your losses.

[@MURPHYSDIESEL]

You're right, we definitely had a few bumps in the road, but the Peterbilt will be worth it!

[@bobme2787]

I drive for a grocery out fit and spend a fair amount of time on the road. Quite often you see a big truck on the shoulder and can tell the driver is taking a squirt. Even though a rest area was 5 miles behind them and a pickle park is 5 miles ahead of. Now they start out from the shoulder from a complete stop and there is 2 lanes of traffic going 70 mph. Very dangerous. Amazing how you all kept a upbeat attitude with all the set backs on the trip.

[@DoubleGChargo]

Probably one of your best video’s. I pray you recoup your losses quickly and this video helps.

Thank you! Glad to hear that!

[@imagseer]

Now that's a video that was worth the hard work getting it all together; what an adventure though. Flu often knocks people way off target Wrecker Rick, and you were lucky your wife was well on the outbound trip; and even she probably wouldn't have got a ticket if flu hadn't been involved either. Hope you got plenty of strong metal sheet to go where the rust is on that old wrecker. It will be so cool when you take it to shows and recoveries where people allow you to video. I never think a truck being rescued reflects bad on to company logo that owns it; it just shows that they're doing something practical about it and moving on.

[@ranceveit4802]

So sorry for all the troubles y’all had on this trip!! I can’t remember what day it was but I was going to Joplin to pick up a set of wheels and tires, marketplace buy lol, and in between Sarcoxie and Joplin I believe, I seen this bearded fellow standing on the side of the highway and I also seen your truck and trailer with the wrecker on it on the frontage road and I said to myself……I swear that looks like Wrecker Rick……and lo and behold…….you put this video out……I wish now that I would’ve turned around and helped y’all out…..glad you found the camera and put the video out, probably my one and only chance of ever meeting the one and only WR, glad y’all made it home safely and can’t wait to see the ole Holmes working again. BTW, just went and purchased a hat for my ole bald head, keep on helping folks out with all you do with the tube channel and may you and your family always be richly blessed in return…..really enjoy all your content……🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Hey Rick !!! If you go back in your videos a yr, ago when you used the 7 ton to do the off road recovery, you'll see in the comments that you stated that you would put a ""HOLMES 750 "" on it , but now you have a 6 X 6 in the shop so guess that's where the 750 will end up when you get it back in service to run ??? Too bad for the worst trip to get the ""Pete"" ,but you & Family made it back home !!! With the trip that You & Family made to TN. was bad enough for sure when the motor blew on the Dodge Maintenance truck !!! Hope ALL are feeling better now ?? 👍👍👍👍👍

Heck of a trip, hopefully the rebuild goes smoother. I generally run 2 to 3 mph over on the interstate, last ticket was 1981 or 1982, I am sure some cop having a bad day will get me someday. You got extremely lucky in Joplin, guns, cash, computers would have been really bad. The restaurant over the interstate was originally a Howard Johnson restaurant I believe, being from Oklahoma we ate there several times when going east, kids thought it was cooler than adults I imagine. Hopefully everyone has recovered and work is progressing on the truck.

[@gregoryscheihing6713]

A few notes. My Lincoln Aviator automatically was set to go either 7 or 8 miles per hour over the speed limit when you put the cruise control on. I found where that can be adjusted in some menu. Since you are not feeling well in this episode can we call you “Wrecker Sick?” Since your wife is driving can we call her “Driver Nic?” And no she was not going fast enough to to get a ticket-it is all at the discretion of the cop. The KZbinr Frank implied that if you are not close to other drivers or flying past the rest of the cars on the road, to just let it go until the car is going like 20 over the speed limit. I used to think going over 85 was a bad idea too. But almost every car on the road can go that fast these days. Saw your other video-glad you are better. Happy Holidays 🎄

Great video, sorry for your troubles though. I can't believe you didn't lose your cash in the vehicle invasion!! Can't wait to see what your "new" wrecker ends up looking like.

Glad you enjoyed it, stay tuned!

God was definitely watching out for you and your family. You’re so lucky! Bummer about your tires 😢

You bet! So grateful for that!
