Thanks for watching!

Looks like that would be a perfect job for a rotator and who would secure a load that big and heavy with just straps.

[@glennjukes5581]

Got that right--be able to do the whole job from start to finish.

[@jerryhubbard4461]

That boom section is from a Manitowoc crane. Before it can be used again, I will have to be inspected and certified by a licensed crane inspector. As for the truck driver that lost the truck and load, he is not competent to drive a truck again. It does not take much to see what happened here.

[@mikebridge.679]

The load always causes the issues. But nice job guys. 🇬🇧

[@sandy1653]

I'm glad the driver wasn't hurt but I'm surprised he thought he was okay to drive with a 50k pound boom section without properly securing it down.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Definitely could have been a lot worse

[@sandy1653]

@@Towtruck_Dustin That's the truth.

[@thomasflynn198]

The drivers side tire looked fairly bald on the outer edge. The second issue is the fact that the driver didn't really know the weight of his load! Scary driver. Great recover guys.

[@jackhouston357]

ex driver!

[@CajunShrek]

Smart binding with the cross pulls especially with it hanging right on the edge

[@michaelk7111]

The scary statement was that the driver was not “familiar” with the load and didn’t know its weight. So this was a top heavy 50,000lb load held on with a couple of ratchet straps, no chains, and taking the turn way too fast. The list of citations would make my printer run out of ink!!

Good morning! Awesome video, another job well done brother! Can I make a suggestion? This is just a preference, but I absolutely love when you upload in 60 FPS just makes the videos look that much better I think 🙂😎 Be Safe out there as always!

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

I definitely prefer filming in 60 also, but because I’m having trouble with the camera overheating in the warmer months, I have recently had to drop back on the FPS. Once I get this battery set up figured out, I will be able to increase the FPS again

I never said it wouldn’t work, but you can’t say having a lower pull wouldn’t have been just as effective.

Dustin question, do you like running the wheel lifts and rollbacks or are you getting your CDL one day to run one of the heavy wreckers?

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Personally, I prefer running the rollback, and doing the light and medium duty towing. If I get my CDL, it will be later down the road. Currently, I don’t have enough time to take the class.

[@ko9446]

@@Towtruck_Dustin I got my CDL 25 years ago not because I was a truck driver but because I was a heavy equipment mechanic. Now retired I drive a truck part time and even 45’ busses. It’s a great thing to have in your back pocket. I encourage you do get one, it won’t hurt you.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

It will right now, because I can’t take a month off work to do the ELD course. Lol

Not anymore. Not since the ELD Mandate.

[@kyleharding3786]

Yall need a Rotator I love having my 1150 RXP definitely worth the money elevating the need to call in a crane. 1075 next on our list, still waiting on the build to be done. 19month lead time sucks but definitely looking forward to seeing my 1075 rotator. Got a 40ton Rotator for Ya'll if you're interested. And a few Holmes 600R's best dam truck for the money and capabilities of having a Medium duty wrecker with capabilities to handle almost any type of call. And a rotating boom. But nothing compares to my 1150 and soon my 1075, maybe in a few years my brother and I order a M100 why not it's only money and except me him and our cousin ain't nobody else certified to operate her. Lol #R~PERMIT oh yeah

I wished we would get one, but no one around here has any. We’d be the first in the local area.

[@davide.s.9880]

First of all I know nothing about the towing business but what I see on KZbin. Well anyway I watch a couple companies in California. and one in Oklahoma. Well they all do things different then you just did. Also they all have heavy wreckers with rotating booms. Does your companies have wreckers with rotating booms?

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

We don’t have any rotators. That’s not very common where we are.

[@davide.s.9880]

@@Towtruck_Dustin It may not be common but if the company owned a rotator or two it might get a bit bigger and make more money.

[@randonsoderstrom3647]

Does anybody else hear dude that rolled the truck over in the first place, say, "f'n amateurs," when the truck rolled back on its tires. Like whose amateur here, lol

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

I really wished I’d have heard that at the time lol

[@randonsoderstrom3647]

@Towtruck_Dustin I had to go back and listen again a couple of times. Right as you were pulling the chain off the front axle. I was thinking, "Man, you rolled your truck over, and you're pissed they put your truck back on the tires, dude. What do you expect?"

[@BiancaJacquelineWawrzinek]

It's was a long day but a great job

[@carangamerguy]

I think the truck driver was calling them f*** amateurs for the landing of the truck, which I agree with how Donnie does some of his jobs, most of the other towing channels I watch use catch lines for a gentle touch down, but pretty funny since he rolled the truck, so who is the amateur?

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

The purpose of a catch line is to stop it from rolling towards you, which is generally only a concern on high profile vehicles. Absolutely zero damage was incurred from rolling the truck back over on its wheels like this.

[@donaldcampbell5277]

Block length way with tire gives more stability in case truck rolls.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

I thought about that after I did it. Got lucky on this one.

For Wrecker Service that does a semi and everything you guys get need to get a little bit more rigging and stuff on your trucks to be able do what you need to do cuz when you run in something like this you need all kinds of things you never know when you're going to need them but you need all your rigging and you guys don't have it

[@dannyfritts9706]

It would be great to have a crowd of workers like that at a wreck when you have to unload a trailer full of damaged cargo.

[@thepubliceye]

Some guys use straps more than you guys, they are sure lighter. I didn't see your catch, why don't you use one?

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Because a catch line isn’t necessary unless you suspect the casualty is going to have a potential to roll over towards you when you right it. That’s generally only a concern on higher profile vehicles, like box trailers and such.

[@CajunShrek]

That's an issue if the driver has NO CLUE on it's weight that'll explain why their butts is laying on the highway

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Or now to secure the load.

[@thook9951]

The driver that rolled should know better then to ise straps on a 25 ton or 30 ton load like that. Chains amd binders and he would have never met you guys lol. Scary the shortcuts these guys take. Thankfully no 4 wheelers got taken out when he rolled

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

He was a fairly young driver. Unfortunately he probably didn’t know any better, and found out the hard way.

[@allenjordan5248]

Chains and binders cause damage and weak points to the crane booms, extra strapping is required person height answers weight, I hauled cranes and booms for many years

🇬🇧 Hi Just found your channel on here , interesting problem on your hands , my only criticism is you have very poor on site Lighting for a Night time recovery , with the age of L E D lights surely all the equipment on site should be fitted with them , also as I am sure you are all aware De Walt Make some high beam telescopic lights which you can throw in any vehicle , and like you I was surprised that the Lorry Driver was Strapping down a 50 Ton piece of Equipment using only web Strapping alone and not doubling it up with Chains .

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

The GoPros don’t do very good with picking up light. That said, my normal truck doesn’t have very much room for those big lights, and most of the time we don’t have time to setup a bunch of stuff. Which is why I use personal lighting.

A 25 ton wouldn’t have been enough. They ended up bringing in a 80 and a 100 ton crane, and the 80 ton had to setup right on it, and couldn’t boom down much because of the load.
