I’m new to the business my first truck ever I’m watching these videos religiously

[@topstoriesliveanduptothemi6267]

Thanks for your time very informative. Great content .

[@WayneSmithTowing]

Thank you!

[@brennonriley1961]

Great videos! Ive watched all your videos and learned a lot. I've tried to get into the towing business to become a tow truck driver but so far haven't had much luck.Could you do a video loading and off loading a car or pick up truck from a wrecker? And loading and off loading a car or pick up truck with a flat tire or missing tire using a wrecker ?

Those ramps that you have are a great idea. I actually built something like that for my Corvette as I change my oil myself on it and didn't want to pay $200 for a stupid car jack.

[@TowMan127]

I want to buy race ramps but they’re expensive. I wouldn’t mind building a set like yours. I currently use 2 4X4x36 pieces of wood and my skates flipped upside down at the end to act like a ramp to get onto the wood.

[@OutlawJesseJames]

Love the videos.

[@richdfrmn]

How would this work if you couldn't start the vehicle

[@daranmoghadam7101]

why the different boards in your lifts, one wood piece is just three planks? is there a reason, I built the 4 plank version they are heavy as heck, I got solid wood, in retrospect the lighter pieces might have been better, but it cost my 8$ to make both of them not including the screws got damaged wood from Home Depot. I just built my own truck 2012 terra Star Rollback to tow cars. Used your video's to refresh and show me the best ways, I have towed 35 years plus this is my second build. My first truck was a Holmes 480 with electric wheel lift, my first owned was a 440 Holmes Ford 350 4x4. I am a real tow truck driver, lol. Do you know what a cradle is?

[@MarvelHaitian]

I see you have an aluminum bed.What’s the difference between aluminum and a steel bed,and what’s the pros and cons between them?

[@dman357]

[@billypratt4201]

[@runpuppyfpv5744]

How would u get it to roll back off the blocks if it doesn't run and its to heavy to push ?

[@saemoneymoney3812]

I came to make the same comment.

Walk the bed under the car

[@HigherThinkersClub]

My car is super low. The tow guy didn’t want to use ramps I was not there when he took my car off and my front left skirt is smashed- looks like it hit from below and folded the plastic skirt- there is a big horizontal crease in my left front corner of the bottom skirt

[@ljs2274]

What size are the wood ramps ?

[@HigherThinkersClub]

My front left skirt has a huge crease from being unloaded - the tow truck guy didn’t want to use ramps to load my Maserati- I wasn’t there when he unloaded it There is an incredible crease fold damage in my hard plastic front skirt- It’s a mess- please advise

[@DJohn83]

Hi. Would a skate on the flat tire serve the same purpose as the lumber plates? Also, would I use your method on this vid for a low clearance car such as a corvette? Thanks.

[@darrylbanger]

Skates are to deplete resistance. Nd yes same method for low profile vehicles

[@WayneSmithTowing]

Skates would not have the same effect as the lumber plates, and yes.
