Semi VS Guardrail! Who Wins?

[@glennjukes5581]

Good ol' Darl--always slow/steady--no wasted movement. he doesn't show a lot of emotion, either and I think that comes with having seen/done it all. Great video...

[@blueboats7530]

On the bright side, the guardrail kept it "on the road". Would have been a lot more of a thing if the semi had gone off the embankment and rolled over into the wash.

[@mrdavid0814]

I’ve been towing out in SoCal for 8 months now and I love it. I hope one day I can get the chance to drive them heavies. Bern a dream. Keep it up man be safe out there👏🏽

[@SumterWrecker]

Mr Trent That sure was a mess. Thanks for sharing and stay safe

[@timothycampbell9994]

Enjoy all the videos, Retired OTR driver grew-up in Cat city lived in O-side 40 years retired to a lake house in Wisconsin dedicated run Oceanside to Chicago-Milwaukee to LA 23 years ran I-10 a million times

[@crackstp]

So nice how you two Step-brothers work together.🥰🥰

[@Leotheconstructionguy]

What step brothers? 😂😂

[@markpivik6211]

Great video Trent, that was amazing how you lifted that tractor straight up and put it right on the trailer. Great use of man and his machine, or as they say the only difference between the men and the boys is the price of there toys. Stay safe out there my friend and keep the videos coming and always travel safely catch you on the next one.

[@cashtimevideo1501]

Nice work guys! Oh boy, that tractor was a mess!! 😮. I guess it's worth repairing though... 😬

[@4321grp]

Cashtime Video, Most likely it's totaled

[@noahater5785]

Can confirm, the cab and maybe the engine compartment is the only thing intact (?) here, otherwise, the entire underside of the semi-tractor is absolutely destroyed and effectively a large pile of mangled scrap metal, I’m not even sure if there are any parts that can be salvaged or recycled after what happened. At least the trailer is intact and upright.

[@marksellinger3736]

Goodness! What a mess! Driver fell asleep? It was a nice Volvo. Now its parts! And on top of it all, a loaded reefer! Got it all there!

[@tdwl4373]

Love the episode previews. Stay safe out there fellers!!!

[@Chaplain_GM]

Certain guard rails are designed to stop the vehicle without remorse and some are designed to deflect ie Guide rail designs that Guard Rail did it's job but left a trail of destruction in it's wake Trent

[@fooddude411]

Effing Awesome!! Picking that whole tractor up.

[@Handorgeous]

Hey Trent that guy is so talkative LOL. He always looks like he is in a bad mood. Fun to be with.🙄😁

[@georgehasler142]

Another good job by you and your crew

[@billm5433]

Thanks for sharing your videos with us! Good job.

[@agentcrm]

It does surprise me that places like that Cat generator place don't have their own lifting facilities. Good idea putting the steel pads on that little trailer.

[@clemnunn3832]

Set up twist locks for 40 ft and 20 ft containers cost a dollar but worth it at end day

[@ariedekker7350]

I've seen it to the end. Thank you for your video work.

[@malikdigger4544]

Trent nice job on recovering that Volvo semi truck been wrecked the company for reefer trailer may have to send out a second semi pull trailer .

[@edwardojr2838]

Gosh dang Trent!

[@DependableAutoTruck]

Country Boys showed a attachment to tow with the pins using under lift

[@NguyenNguyen-nw9xd]

👍

[@clemnunn3832]

It might be easier to have chains and binders in a box on the neck of the float for easy access

[@tomuchfunwithgas846]

Seems to be a USPS trailer judging from the unit number.

[@dennisconnolly1]

Heck of a way to wake up, should have got your rest bro ..

[@clemnunn3832]

It makes you wonder how they do Lt 😮

[@braedenbaker3088]

Why didn't you connect the Fifth wheel part to that attacher thing to the trailer?

[@plazatowing]

Huh

[@braedenbaker3088]

@@plazatowing At 23:12, the coupler wasn't connected to the fifth wheel attachment on the yellow thing. Was the coupler damaged or something?

[@plazatowing]

Got it, if I remember correctly, this trailer was loaded and the attachment you are talking of is only rated for empty trailers

[@bladewiper]

Where that trailer is mostly moving containers, could you install a set of container locks / hold downs ?

[@leegoldeneagle9003]

U. To work together.very well thanks 👍👍😊

[@gregstowing9294]

Nice video Trent. Keep’em coming.

[@Kevin-go2dw]

That was a nice truck. ☹ Enjoyed the video. A little bit of everything.

[@KB-dg2gr]

I bet its light with out all the axels fuel and batteries 🤣

[@nutthaphongnapha5867]

Hi Trant, you've been gone for a long time.

[@559043]

never seen a rig that mangled .. parts truck now i guess

[@lloydrobinson7081]

cool clip, keep them coming

[@Feline_Frenzy53]

Darn unicorns!! Trent, Darl and gang, great job. Tractor looks pretty new...and totaled???

[@edwinschlee8374]

Guard rail always wins! He did some major damage to thar tractor! Was the driver ok?

[@KB-dg2gr]

Hey your gonna put flat spots on the tires 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@blueboats7530]

Wow, a sparkling new semi got retired

[@steveblake8766]

765 thumbs up

[@freddiecauseyii9419]

Wow that truck is beyond repair.

[@deanspagnolo4976]

Nice work guys

[@tombrown5755]

Nice work as always

[@tairapeace]

Crazy Great work🔥⚡

[@arrowkart4j]

Wow wiped that out bad. Relatively new truck. Somebody going to be looking for a job.

[@bladewiper]

Like always, another interesting video.

[@leeshaver7825]

I know what happened that caused the accident the driver drove off into the desert side You never did mention in your last video what the big changes were at the company and I'd still like to know more about your KW Wrecker The look Darl gave you was the look of If you weren't the boss I'd Bitch slap you😆

[@andrewdavidson7656]

While the method you used to drag the tractor up the road is not recommended. I can understand why you made that decision because pretty much everything you'd hook to is gone. That and you were only going a couple hundred feet at walking speed. Sometimes you simply have to do whatever works and get the job done.

[@derekperkins8158]

that one is going to the scrap yard..

[@artyart31]

CALTRANS EMPLOYEES....I swearrrrr

[@maxrocha8804]

Why don’t you just turn the wheel to the.. oh yeah that’s right 😂

[@Brandon-cr6yu]

Hi

[@m9ovich785]

Could You not Plug the Trailer Power into the 35 Ton ? Mike M.

[@Kevin-go2dw]

They possibly could but they do not know the condition of the wiring pre or post incident so is easier to use the light board so their wiring / fuses are not damaged.

[@palladini9718]

I bet this driver, when he called his company, got fired, or soon will be fired.

[@noahater5785]

How the heck do you manage to completely knock out the front axle, and nearly knock out the drive axles so the truck can’t move anymore? I thought they were all welded to the frame rails, it takes a lot of brute force to pop such a large weld loose, smaller ones can usually be undone by an angle grinder or a circular saw in a matter of minutes.

[@agentcrm]

There's very little welding on the frame rails, because they're hardened. Components are normally riveted to the rails. But as to how, full speed with cruise control on.

[@davide.s.9880]

Is that old guy wearing the baseball cap the driver or owner? It's a total write off your not going to damage it any more. Just go find a rock or pile of dirt and sit down.

[@Leotheconstructionguy]

Nothing wrong with him him watching

[@tomh3652]

I guess he got bored putting up videos. Oh well plenty of other channels to watch that do put out videos.

[@drinternatg6391]

Thought about you guys the other day seems a while since I’ve seen a video from you. Wondered if I had become unsubscribed

[@01FozzyS]

Well that was ugly. Looks like someone was distracted while driving.

[@clemnunn3832]

I bet he doesn't have job any more

[@Dan68J]

Tri Us trucking I think I'll pass.

[@dave_n8pu]

With a company name like that, it sounds like they aren't to sure of themselves. Don't blame you for passing.

[@bobeverhart8217]

dont need the kid there so insensitive with his 8 yr old comments

[@Leotheconstructionguy]

Where did you see a kid in the video?
