Q:What camera do you use?
A: I use the Go Pro Hero 7 Black Edition primarily. Often times you will see auxillary cameras in use. Those cameras include The Go Pro Hero 6, Hero, and DJI Mavic Pro Platinum
Q: How big Is your rotator?
A: It is a 50 ton Miller Industries Vulcan 950
Q: Does the carriage slide back like Ron Pratt's?
A: No, the carriage doesn't slide back due to strict weight laws in California. The sliding carriage will make the truck to heavy in CA
Q: Why do you only have 3 winches on the rotator?
A: Comes down to weight again as stated above
Q: How many trucks Does Plaza Towing have?
A: Currently more than 30
Q: Why must the driveshaft be removed to tow a vehicle?
A: When vehicles are not running the transmission is not receiving circulating lubricant. If the driveshaft is left installed, the transmission, which is not receiving lubricant, is still spinning. This allows it to get very hot which eventually will cause major damage to the transmission. Therefore, removing the driveshaft completely eliminates the transmission from spinning. Simply leaving it in neutral is not sufficient since the transmission still spins in neutral.

Sean is the man of the hour. Nice to see an operator really understand how to help

[@tomuchfunwithgas846]

Great job, what a mess. Clean up is going to take a long, long time. We've been there and the smell is unforgettable. Glad it's you and not me.Ha ha. Take care Trent, see you later.

[@01FozzyS]

Geez talk about captivating! Well done to all of you including Shaun!

[@Feline_Frenzy53]

Thumbs up to you and your Team, Trent. Great operator in Sean there, too. What a heck of a job. Well done!!

[@steveminton8329]

What a sticky mess. Awesome job

[@dave_n8pu]

Salt corroding steel (and everything else), welcome to Michigan.

[@joha7484]

💪💪💪💪💪❤❤❤❤❤ Waiting for Part 2 of this episode, Trent!

[@t.l.robinson2162]

Excellent job and thank you for another video.

[@mylvan]

This was not wanting to give up on a whole other level! What a job!! Will the recovery of the Volvo be a video as well?

[@Lnmwr]

the caption at the end said the customer was able to get the Volvo out on his own.

[@funkypaul2822]

Great job!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jim2757-w8m]

A decent machine driver goes a long way to making the job easier. 👍 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧

[@malalexander3515]

Excellent work by all concerned.

[@harveystephens6115]

Anchor for two trucks would have been good too. Nice job

[@imacomputer1234]

wow that rotator is so heavy! what a beast!

[@johnbulla8708]

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CONGRATULATIONS HERO. KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK HEROS

[@oddtechman]

had your work cut out for you there Trent! I dont envy the maths you had to do in your head working out the weight of the suction and what rigging was needed! just shows how difficult the job can be and that you never know what you are going to be called out for! it's not like you can plan for this on a training day!!

[@mikeL5183]

Nice work, with the right tools and experience anything is possible.

[@edwinschlee8374]

That was one sticky and stinky mess. Good job Trent and the Plaza towing crews plus Shawn driving it out. Next plan how to get the Volvo out!

[@kempo_95]

At the very end it says that the customer was able to get the Volvo out.

[@agentcrm]

@@kempo_95 Ah, that's hard to read when watching on desktop with the recommended videos coving the screen.

[@clifford4200]

You are a sharp guy, you always find a way

[@nathanbrodeur]

Trent next time if you can rent 3 roughly 80,000 pound dozers with winches there low speed high power torque is what you need the extra 30,000-35,000 pounds of weight per dozer breaks the suction with the extra counter weight

[@pear7777]

Great Job!, The man in the John Deere is in the line of fire from a lot of tension, if smth breaks he's not safe!!

[@danpayan9468]

No gold but it's a lithium mine I'd really think about cleaning or soaking cables in baking soda or something

[@pol5507]

Thank you, Sophie!😀

[@dorvinion]

What in curious about... There must be something worthwhile to risk those machines out in that muck.... What it it?

[@plazatowing]

They were working on an art installation for a festival they host out there

[@overwatch2671]

Great job guys.

[@Muksanim2012]

Whoever would have even allowed the machines to go onto that ground? Somebody wasn't thinking.

[@michaelrocker9000]

What a sticky medss. You should called Dave Sparks for this one. He has done it a few times on the salt flats. :) Good Job.

[@stuartpulvermacher6861]

Extend your boom out to remove weight from the front axle

[@plazatowing]

Would have been negligible

[@towtruckaj]

Wouldn't do a whole lot and youd be putting weight on the drives, sinking the drives is even worse than sinking the steers.

[@RadioReprised]

I grew up in Bombay.....and SUNK a Motorcycle or Two in that wretched stench Mud!!

[@nightlightsafetyproducts]

Tow Life!

[@glennjukes5581]

Waiting for the next installment...

[@danpayan9468]

My mother in law used to live at Bombay Beach before it got bad

[@waynep343]

I always thought that attaching the cables to the track pads might pull the excavator out. A half dozen split grousers that clamp to the edges of the track pads could be handy too.

[@nwpioneer2551]

Old but still a good video.

[@griffinandgriffintowing]

Great content is this video. Definitely gonna have a smell.

[@lloydrobinson7081]

keep the clips coming

[@rodneyjeffery9726]

mudy job will done

[@kempo_95]

Shaun/John did not get a set of headphones 🤣

[@TX_Lawyer]

Was there a reason for not having the bucket push down in front of him to help lift the machine up?

[@agentcrm]

When they're buried in that deep and at an angle like that Volvo, the only way to get them is by digging them level. I'm surprised the Deere came out as easy as it did after 2 weeks in the silt.

[@huskerboy3471]

❤

[@Stixn81]

Wy dont you call Letsdig18.

[@jhonditch4269]

ah the earth recycles on it's own no intervention needed.

[@Murphyslawfarm]

That is one expensive oops

[@henkweurding3339]

Nice video Trent, good luck on the second excavator, looking forward for that video! BTW did you have that talk to your college, he acted like he was under influence of something.. .Nevertheless you got it out in a very nice and safe controlled way. Thumps up!

[@plazatowing]

That’s just how we act. We are goofballs.

[@danbusey]

I'd hate to get that bill in the mail!

[@brianelfert387]

I can’t even imagine how much money this whole mess cost the customer. Not only the tow company bill, but the mechanic and parts, building the road, and equipment rental. I assume the equipment was rented.

[@jonhill373]

Don’t they make hd helos that can literally pick those machines up?

[@borisobrucicov8630]

I hope they paid you guys alot.

[@Leotheconstructionguy]

Lmfaoooo customer has no choice in how much they pay 😂 what kind of work do you do that the customer decides prices?? 😂😂😂😂

[@markverloop8890]

Sure would hate to pay the bill on this job

[@scottb02]

😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@Branno46]

Dosent your dad help you now has he retired

[@brianboys9015]

Man what a sucky job

[@dustyrusty6840]

What idoit of a manager/supervisor would have these employees work in this type of terain? Their lucky that they didn't bury the equipment completly.This is going to cost big.
