Towing trucks backwards is fine you don't have to drop the driveshaft. Also you have every opportunity to use the tractors you have in you fleet. Please remember to make sure if you have any cab extenders to make sure to use ratchet straps to secure them. This is especially true if you run a Volvo. This is a voice of experience coming at you driver 👍👍

[@marceloevera2009]

if you have a freightliner you better remove the cab extenders.....

[@LatinDanceVideos]

This sounds like a valuable tip. I’m not familiar w the details yet, definitely need a checklist and Phone support from a mechanic familiar with a range of trucks, can’t expect a tow driver in the field to know everything.

[@dinochild7050]

Just got ours. Can’t wait to do our first tow.

[@You2be-Sucks]

Dino Child How much did it cost?

[@lawrencebrown7351]

The average somewhere around 14k, but it is definately worth the investment if you have a lot of trucks to recover.

[@karlmalone2464]

I've seen people renting them for 250 a day if you're not going to use it much. Great tool to have for a fleet. It would pay for itself.

[@paulost.michael2811]

Thank you! For your hard work we appreciate you. Keep it up 👍

[@LatinDanceVideos]

I’m wondering if these are practical to use for breakdown on busy roads. Turning around would require police assistance to turn around. In my city, (Brisbane/Australia) e de ady towing seem to have a monopoly with their heavy duty tow trucks. They just back up and lift the steering axle and move the semi w trailer to get broken down trucks off busy roads. Fast and easy. I can see a huge value for this in smaller towns and remote areas where the frequency of breakdowns is less. Or for small fleets keeping their operating costs down

Hi. can some one tell me which PROTOTE IS GOOD the 8 or 9

[@the.porter.productions]

The seatbelt works and is already there. I’ve used ratchet straps from both sides when I didn’t have anything else.

[@makeitpay8241]

better chain up the rear axles of the truck that is to be towed unless you want to buy new airbags.

[@maxwellsamuel6712]

Jim whats the going price for one

[@gurpalsuner4911]

I’m your latest subscriber 🤗.

[@MottyRuttner]

you need a wet kit??

[@McClellan71]

No. Battery operated.

[@TriWich]

Did you know you can tow a Semi-Truck with a TriWich Dolly?

[@McClellan71]

On a highway at highway speeds?

[@McClellan71]

I'll take that as "no." 😂

[@TriWich]

Sorry, must have missed your comment 9 month ago. Towing Wheel Dollies are rated up to 18,000 lbs. Casters are only rated at 10mph. I've gone faster, but that would be unofficial. Just landed a major contract with a Semi-Truck OEM. So no, not a joke

[@diyoverhauler5432]

Good investment

[@ElmoZaPimp]

Is the airline absolutely necessary if towing from the rear as shown in video?

[@lawrencebrown7351]

After using the Pro-Tote 8 Elite, I have pulled several Semi tractors from the rear and have yet to use the additional brakes provided with the unit.Once you operate the unit (based on road conditions and weather factors) you will have a better feel of each individual situation. It is not the law to use the airlines, but they will help to slow you a whole lot quicker in a hazardous situation.

[@Halfstep2024]

I mean it’s an extra what? 5 minutes? Even if it’s not required or necessary it’s still a great idea if not for safety but for liability!

[@jerrykinnin7941]

I can't remember the brand, but I have used a 5th wheel boom for a trucking co. It ran off jumper cables. Had no brake attachment. I ran it in 3 states. My baine was locking the steering from wandering. This was 20 odd years ago as well. Is this rated to pull a truck from the front.

[@houknows9939]

Is there a lot of work out there for one of these?

[@ElmoZaPimp]

@@houknows9939 There is always a market for almost anything you just gotta find it. We mainly use it to recover our own trucks when they break down.

[@sergeantschlumpf6368]

damn. .. 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮..

[@AntonioGonzalez-kk4od]

Nice..... 👍

[@paulthompson3877]

you have gone to all that trouble to make this device and all you can come up with to hold the steeringwheel in place is a seatbelt , well !

[@pantera1959]

😂😂😂😂

[@McClellan71]

That's the method Wreckers use when towing trucks... well!😉
