Last week I showed a new flatbed operator who thought he was stuck how to use the bed to push himself out. Basically, the same way you just pushed yours out from under that truck. He was thankful and said he has a lot to learn, and I said we all did at one point.

I’d rather drive around. No point in risking driving into head on traffic without traffic control, especially when people are not going to be paying attention, trying to see what’s going on. Worth the extra few seconds to drive around.

If the truck has a loan, then wouldn't the bank own the truck. Would they have to put tires back on the truck, and wouldn't that be sort of theft if not replaced. I would never let anyone take tires off a truck, until the bank or the insurance company puts it in writing, always protect yourself.

[@dlsimes]

Looks like everyone is ok. He might be surprised, might not be totaled.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

It’s definitely totaled. These new aluminum trucks aren’t designed to live through a hard impact like that. They’re designed to keep the occupants safe

[@dlsimes]

@@Towtruck_Dustin makes sense. These days it seems like even fender benders end up being totaled. Nothing like when I was in auto body repair. We fixed cars that most would have thought were totaled. Not the way they make vehicles now days. If you can’t simply replace a fender and bumper they total them.

[@tnc7399]

​@@dlsimesthe issue with front ends all depends if structural stuff gets damaged. I have a 1998 GMC that a farmer wrecked in. A slow impact on the front in the ditch but the fenders were crumpled and the bumper and stuff destroyed. Hood is still good I think. Well all the stuff damaged is all bolted on and not structural.

It messes with my mind the amount of plastic "junk" that a wreck can cause. I had a pretty minor one - or so I thought that did zero body damage but wiped out the grill (and bumper) and all the plastic claptrap behind it. Two full shovels full of plastic junk and the insurance company totaled my spotless F350 CCLB diesel. Had it not had all that expensive plastic crapola that my older F350s, a salvage yard trip and 2-3 hundred bucks (i.e like my '79 F350 that someone backed into with a box truck and smashed the grille and radiator frame).

[@qwertypoiuyt1]

It’s part of the crumple zone to help keep the passenger compartment intact so that way most of the energy goes into the body parts instead of the passenger compartment

Rule of thumb, you never drive a customers vehicle unless absolutely necessary. Thats especially true if it’s wrecked. Never know what’s wrong with it. On top of that, it was said many times in the video, the truck would t run, and the brake was locked up.

Noticed it...must of been a gun belonging to a driver? The officer has two holstered weapons on him that you can see at the time he is holding that gun in his right hand. A driver must of asked to remove the weapon from the crashed vehicle before it was towed. Officer removed it for him, then for whatever reason got distracted and walked around with it and even was using it to point at the vehicles.

[@ShaneTebow]

New vehicles are made to absorb the energy to protect the passengers and drivers. The new F-150 is top of its class in these ratings. There is countless tests you can find here on KZbin of them comparing the injuries that would happen in new cars vs old. Most old cars will hold up better "sometimes", but the driver and passenger is more likely to be hurt or killed. It depends on what is more important to you. If its more important to save a car than yourself or your passengers then buy something older. If you want yourself, your wife or kids to be unharmed in a moderate to major collision then newer vehicles are much better. I can also attest to this from doing this same type of crash clean up and being in 5 car accidents myself. I would drive myself and anyone I cared about in a newer F-150 before anything old. I've seen countless people injured and killed in collisions with older cars and trucks. Even when the older vehicle wasn't that badly damaged.
