Road Trip: Wrecker Call

[@michaelmanning97]

Eric needs a weekly television show,his stuff is that good.

[@BobbyW00]

My Wife says he would make a killing doing voice overs and narrations for shows. She is never wrong.

[@mrb1864]

Is sweet little productions, good banter, good roadtrip and real good planning and editing . Beats most of the gash on main stream tv ...

[@michaelmanning97]

Mr B Eric is a normal guy with a passion to help.people be entertained by and maybe learn something about being a mechanic.He's def a quality tech

[@garyjohnson2879]

I suggested PBS awhile back he wasn't interested

[@michaelmanning97]

He's also a businessmen. Commercials will kill the program

[@charlesmiller5078]

Last time a wrecker had to pull me, I was loaded with 50,000 pounds of Sulfuric Acid (83%), dead across some very busy Rail Road Tracks, at the Port of Tampa. Dropped a Axle. Fun Times. Heavy Rig wrecker drivers a really good at what they do. Tell Doug thanks for letting us ride along.

[@waynewicks6814]

I'm grateful for the fact that your a great mechanic and you bring us along for the ride it's a dying breed these days honest and reliable great show

[@Mrmando369]

This video reminds me when my dad use to drive his Peterbilt and I would go with him on the weekends. Miss my dad 😢

[@patw52pb1]

Nicely done Eric, your parents must be proud of you guys. Thanks for the tag along.

[@WisdomVendor1]

Only true gearheads find vids like this enjoyable :)

[@daleburrell6273]

YOU BETCHER LIFESAVERS!!!

[@Xeraghusta]

I object to this statement. I am not a gearhead, yet I find these videos enjoyable

[@theusconstitution1776]

I love to see two brothers doing what they love taught by their dad and getting along!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸

[@leemoknows]

Never lost one yet. "Hope the camera's rollin' when ya do" 😂👍

[@SouthMainAuto]

Viral vid right!?

[@Dugar1]

azurebluemach I swear I was crying when he said that

[@feeneysmechanical6215]

Oh that sweet Cummins sound when you start rolling along.

[@scrimmy6969]

I personally think the best sounding engine is a Mack E9.

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Awesome video Eric. Enjoyed the tour and being able to experience what it takes to drive a big rig. Thank your brother for letting us ride along thanks

[@baxrok2.]

Yes sir, this one had it all. That was fun. Thanks for taking us along and introducing us to another member of the family!

[@thebuggyshop3261]

Eric, I really appreciate your channel and your desire to do every job the best that you can. It's something that's becoming more rare in our industry. You do a fantastic job producing educational and entertaining videos. Keep up the great work!

[@kensherwood4866]

Fantastic trip, almost as good as being there with you both. Thanks to your brother for letting "us" come along.

[@infinity3jif]

you can definitely see the O. resemblance

[@brianglade848]

That tool box looked like my dad's when he was a mechanic at a dealership in Chicago in the 70s, he said the rust on all his wrenches helped him grip them better

[@daleburrell6273]

...I HADN'T THOUGHT OF THAT-(!)

[@garyr7027]

I've drove OTR back in the 90's so I can appreciate this little adventure... brings back so many memories. Thanks for posting.

[@rexbrowder]

ok Eric we've seen your brother's toolbox tour now it's your turn!!!

[@shopart1488]

Very nice video with your brother. Reminds me of the good times my brothers and I had. Two have passed and one is 2000 mile away. Times change but, Thank you for the memories Eric!!

[@OneAuto]

Thanks for taking us along Eric. I've never worked on the heavy stuff. So that was real interesting. I like all the gauges in the wrecker, it's like a whole display of live data PID's!

[@stephenland9088]

All those gages and no drink holder. One handed driver. 🙂

[@wmichaels362]

Oh man, oh man! That was one sweet ride-a-long! Thank you! That brings back memories of Varysburg, Warsaw, Geneseo, the Italy Hiils, Naples, ..... ! Thanks again.

[@stuzman52]

Very nice video Eric of you and your brother sharing a day together. And it was very obvious that you guys had a pretty good time :)

[@richardcranium5839]

lol i recognized almost all of that scenery. isnt everything warranty? lol and love the ending . your brother dropped your ass off and was good enough to circle the block just so you could get the money shot. you owe him a cold one. thanks for taking us along

[@SouthMainAuto]

Yes sir the money shot haha!

[@JerkofAllTradesTLH]

It isn't most people's idea of living the dream, but you're sure doing it. This is awesome. Your brother seems like a cool guy. Thanks for the interesting video!

[@paulschlobohm7226]

Great to see you spending time with your brother, Family time and fun with work is a man's standard. Enjoy!

[@CleanSC]

This was WAY more entertaining than expected. Eric, keep these coming. Lots of fun to watch, I laughed more than I should have, haha. Doug could easily have his own channel. Keep it up!

[@SouthMainAuto]

I keep telling him that

[@CVD-di1xn]

I drove the area 30 years working for the phone company. It was fun looking out the window and knowing exactly where you were at. Keep up the good work.

[@joetiller1031]

I really enjoyed the ride along, I got cold watching had to put my coat on, I see where all the rusty and crusty comes from, his tool box looks whole like mine, the pete sounds great.

[@BleuCollarFndryMTL]

I absolutely love this video. Most of my relatives are truckers. Some nicest people you could meet. I went to college so I became an engineer. I wanted to weld like my Dad did I always admired him. He is my hero along with you.

[@timidater4803]

This sounds like me and my brother!!! My God!! I wish he was still here ! so cool!

[@1967lathrop]

I bet your parents are proud they raised some good kids that not easy but they did a good job. Congratulations Mr and Mrs O. I have 6 kids and it ant easy to prevent the obstacles in life but me and my wife were lucky to.

[@livalittle100]

You people are so good it's inspiring. Thanks for all you do Eric.

[@SouthMainAuto]

Now go buy a tow truck!

[@andybonneau9209]

NICE ride in a big rig. Thanks for taking me along.

[@austinhuckabee1539]

best tool box tour on KZbin

[@baddriversofnorthtexas6850]

Austin Huckabee but without any brake clean

[@JF-jm3nb]

So many souvenirs joining my dad doing long distance towing with a 45 feet trailer attached and the best the jake sound!!!!

[@laohantun7404]

Love the tow truck.Fully equiped.

[@gillagher1123]

i really like when your brother was shifting with the jake brake engaged!!

[@SteveRobReviews]

Ok Eric you fix the light duty vehicles and your brother fixes the heavy duty and your other brother tows the business in . I bet you guys own the restaurant too . Holly bejesus you guys run the whole town . HAHAHA

[@SouthMainAuto]

Welll not the whole town...

[@Arieeeee]

TV show idea: The O'Pranos

[@SteveRobReviews]

Arie M ADA BOOM ADA BING. LOL

[@frugalprepper]

Well in his early vids he was Dr. O so maybe he runs the local hospital too.

[@SteveRobReviews]

HAHA there is no local hospital. I think the closest one is buffalo memorial .

[@tpcoachfix]

Glad to see he put the stack boot on. Saves the turbo.

[@ThePlowGuys]

That was fun. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@SouthMainAuto]

Thanks for riding! Hey you two should get a tow truck! That way you can piss people off with the plowing and towing!! Haha Jk'in

[@ThePlowGuys]

Who did we piss off? Oh you mean the old woman. Ya she sure is a crabby one. That is nothing. I will be cancelling a agreement with a customer tomorrow. That should be good. She is going to be pissed royally, and I don't care. Tune in to find out why..LOL there is the hook.

[@daleburrell6273]

THAT'S GOT DOGGONE SURE-!!!

[@mikekratz39]

Respect on the towing through the hills. I pulled a 26' travel trailer from Buffalo to Watkins Glen travelling on the I390. Never again. Now I take the I90 and drive on mostly level roads.

[@SvcGlobal]

Nice to meet your brother, Eric. Thanks for the ride!

[@guyazbell8169]

N-14 best motor i ever had put 1.3 million on mine with zero issues, BEAUTIFULL COUNTRY there so nice the hills over there, mad respect for you man!

[@1982JOEC]

That was an awesome video Eric!!..I love heavy wreckers and it would be awesome to see more videos of you guys doing some more recoveries!!

[@gman123167]

Lived in that area for many years and done numerous trips up 390. Thx for the tour around town :-)

[@jimbuford4147]

Your brother could do some awesome vids on some of his runs.

[@SouthMainAuto]

I keep telling him that

[@edwardmartinez199]

South Main Auto Repair Sure would be nice if you did a video of your brothers shop sometime.

[@cw2lido]

Ah, open road, big rig, and a pack of menthol Newports! What more could you ask for!

[@budspaulding7121]

Enjoyed the trip, still looks like home after all these years

[@needhelp2453]

I'm a truck driver and I found this video among the funniest that you have done. You and your brother are like two peas in a pod.

[@drb166]

I've spent a few times sitting in the jump seat having my truck towed, sometimes truck/semi-trailer being towed, but it was never this entertaining. Great video!

[@papanick1603]

Eric and friend, thanks for the ride along.

[@coollasice4175]

This was F'in great. I'd like to see more truckin' and maybe repairs at the truck shop. Thanks.

[@Christerart1]

Brings back memories of many, many miles in the US and Canada - not in a wrecker but in a semi cab..:)

[@paulquitaldi8407]

Don't miss that Salt, Traveled through there many times when I lived in Rochester on my way down South.

[@alanragsdale9220]

The Bro,s hanging out together. Getting it done! Great. Jake break.sounding Great!

[@ozzstars_cars]

10-4 good buddy. When I drove past that exact salt mine last summer on the way to Niagra I couldn't believe how much salt spray the car got.

[@SouthMainAuto]

It's a thing of beauty right!

[@josephsfields]

THanks a load for that swell toolbox tour. Makes me feel 100% better about my own toolbox calamity.

[@vodonnell1]

Love the videos, a year or two in that truck and you would be as deaf as a post, regards from Dublin Ireland.

[@joepolen7212]

Hi! I really enjoyed this video. I enjoyed the road trip, local history, tow truck tour and scenery. You also reminded me of my brother. I am an older guy that appreciates the memories of the past. You have in this video, produced a video documenting a cordial brotherly experience among many others to come in the future. My brother passed away a few years ago. He was a career CHP officer and I remember going on a ride along with him several times. We interacted much like you do with your brother. People in other cars sure look at you differently when you ride in a patrol car! I can tell you treasure your time with your brother, and I guess I am commenting because this is a precious video for us and you. Thank you Eric!

[@simonhernandez9634]

haha you guys seem really great dudes.

[@denniswilkinson1118]

Awesome, I love that wide open country thanks Eric.

[@ThecardoctorTV]

Nice wrecker and another great vid Eric!

[@johnwojsiat9924]

My first ride in a big rig! Thanks for the ride.

[@grizzlydan8]

I watched this vid a couple months ago . I t is so good I had to watch it again.

[@chriswilly2208]

Hard working, smart and funny decent guys. I used to load at Kodak in Rochester once a week back to Colorado for years. Don't get to upstate NY much anymore but when I do I want to meet Eric O. Thanks for the great car repair videos. Chris

[@saladsnake7911]

this video was so freaking cool. thanks for posting this !

[@hansjansen7047]

I used to run that stretch of I-390 occasionally and I used to watch for a vista on the east side where there was a view of patched farm land across the valley. I like those kind of views better than mountains. Those are mostly just rocks and trees.

[@350munrohome]

Ahh, love it, really takes me back, but I had a tool bag not a box. Keep up good stuff Eric and bro.

[@dillonv4298]

I live in the attica/Wyoming area. Those tracks going downhill on west Middlebury I've launched a cavalier off of and nearly planted into the guardrail. By myself of course and nothing got hurt. Still was awesome.

[@Fireship1]

This was a new kind of video for the south main auto channel. Thought it was really cool. Grew up around trucks as a kid. Dad drove one as well as his dad. Later in life my dad had a trailer repair and truck body shop. So riding in rigs and blowing air horns was a big deal to me as a kid. Brought back some memories with the dashboard tour and the sound of the engine in the cab. Gotta make more vids like this when you can. What gearhead don't like big rigs and diesel power? 😉

[@libertarian1637]

I started watching and thought the road looked familiar. Didn’t think about it again until I heard Steuben County then paused when I saw the highway sign, Avoca/Corning and confirmed it was 390. Nice to see upstate being represented.

[@workingshlub8861]

i always throw a few extra bucks to the driver when i need a tow..not an easy job and nobody appreciates it until they need you..good video.

[@markmichlewicz5141]

Loved everything about this video.more please.

[@JLafix]

I have been watching your channel for what seems like at least 2 years maybe more (time fly's) almost from the the beginning. But your videos are extremely entertaining. Please don't put us in a show hold, I so look forward to your uploads. Thank you so much for the entertainment.

[@Methias101]

Brings back my OTR days. Thanks.

[@DougHNuts-ee3vn]

Soon as I started watching I said "I bet that's his brother" lol

[@jeffmessenger6294]

Really enjoyed this one My wife's from Batavia so I traveled a lot of the same roads we live in Pa so don't get up there much anymore was fun to see thanks.

[@gatorsworld]

Nice ride with your brother Eric...good change in scenery and a good vid...SALUTE

[@galuple]

As someone who grew up driving the coquihalla I love the shout out

[@rrcoster]

Kind of neat to see you out of the shop for once.

[@Mr.G626]

what a sweet rig, that jake is music to my ears. floating the gears. great video

[@robwiljas]

I lost it at "anyone know how to drive one of these?" lol

[@jeffmorton5092]

I believe that warning buzzer was the low air alarm. Getter done.

[@mummabear01]

Very cool going for a ride in a heavy. Remember folks, slow down and move over.

[@yambo59]

Great video Eric-! Nice change of pace and saw some more of NY - don't see much of it here in Illinois-lol

[@greenranger2764]

I really enjoyed this video of you and your brother spending the day together! Really enjoyed the scenery of rural New York state.

[@drewdude444]

Man it's awesome seeing some Cummins insight stuff on your channel!!!! Awesome eric o

[@melvinjohnson7033]

Enjoy the mild weather. We were sweating it out here last week with record highs of 88 degrees. Nice change up video. Like them all.

[@wykydone564]

Haha, "You're like an offical good buddy."

[@Dustin_the_wind]

Thanks for sharing Mr. O'S.

[@Anibal92234]

Great Video. By Far The Most Greatest KZbinr !

[@StephenKinder]

Eric is the best. Love his family sensibilities and you just don't get to experience this kind of reality tv anywhere else. Bravo Sonny, father to Eric and Doug. Inspiring is the best word I can think of to best describe Sonny's progeny... rock 'n' roll Avoca! btw, i live in the salt belt in beautiful upstate, HV NY, and a quick look at my Dakota with my Astro LCD light stick, and iccckkk!!! Looks a lot like the crap that rolls into SMA.

[@dronedbr]

My new favorite channel. Worked with a guy who was out on the road with a 20 ton wrecker and a call came in for a private car tow. He took it, it was a Geo Metro. The cars owner was shocked to see such a huge truck for his car.

[@svtirefire]

Just toss it in the glovebox

[@mekrautica2742]

Well it's nice to see that you made it all the way up to my neck of the woods, Statica-Attica! It just so happens, that same milk trucking company rolled one of their tractor-trailer milk haulers about a month or so ago, in the same area of Attica. I wonder if it was the same driver... Anywho, too bad ya didn't get any video footage of the ole Attica Crowbar Hotel, but thanks for visiting!

[@JamesLee-oe7mt]

And now I want to see the diag and repair video on the KW....

[@daleburrell6273]

...THAT GOES FOR ME TOO!!!

[@tb2187]

The toolbox tour was hysterical!

[@SouthMainAuto]

Hey you guys love tool box tours!

[@jounatherton7294]

best thing in life family , grate video, i enjoyed all the laughs from each over brotherly love. best mechanics ever !!!!!

[@nicke2307]

Was just watching this video and man does it bring back memories... i used to have to drive down this route 390 S to get to wellsville and hornell back in the day for one of my jobs. Also to bath and elmira.

[@douglaslaramie9245]

"Six hours on the road and I'm gonna make it home tonight" Nice vid today. Kinda nice to mix things up once in a while. Thanks for the ride along Doug & Eric. KIT doug (" just watch ole Bandit run.")

[@SouthMainAuto]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXnFeJt7m9ObaKc :D

[@jackdotts1476]

Nice to see you with your brother

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Did I hear the driver say "Give 'er the beans" and "theres your problem lady"?

[@SouthMainAuto]

I believe so!

[@codyrobert12]

HAHA, it must run in the family!!

[@fergusontea]

Yep, definitely brothers. I bet Sonny taught them to be like this. :) :) :)

[@timothybarney7257]

@Haz Cat Closest I've come was stupidly forgetting to "give 'er the beans" while downshifting on a hill in a Deuce and a half while taking my military driving test way back in my early 20s. Needless to say, instantly locking up both rear axles got my head outta my rear as I tried jamming the clutch down through the floorboard.

[@jamesmcdonald3798]

What a stunning part of the country. Dont know if i could live with all the salt but it is breath taking for sure. Guess you can tell im a city boy. Cheers from Boston
