Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching. Today, I received an urgent call to tow a semi truck and loaded trailer off the shoulder of the interstate with our Rotator #11, which is our Peterbilt 389-X with a Miller Industries, Century 1150R. Ethan and Gavon bring out our traffic control unit #16 to help traffic SLOW DOWN MOVE OVER, as well as helping me with the hookup and towing prep. It may not seem like it, but a standard, everyday tow, such as this one, is one of the most dangerous parts of our job as towing & recovery operators due to traffic and inattentive drivers. The current U.S. statistics show one towing - recovery operator struck every six days!!! That is higher than the number of police and fire struck-bys combined. So, as I always ask, please SLOW DOWN MOVE OVER for ANY person or vehicle on the side of the road. You could be saving a life and not ruining yours!!! I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

I have been a construction worker for decades, and I have learned that it's important to recalibrate my hammer sights every day. Misalignment is caused by a multitude of factors, including (but not limited to) temperature, humidity, energy level, ambient lighting, and what song is on the radio. Love your videos, glad you are staying safe out there.

Ron it amazes me how alot of people seem to lack some common sense and common courtesy. I move over everytime a vehicle is on the side of the road whether it's say you doing your job to an abandoned vehicle. Part of my job besides hauling freight is to keep myself safe and try to keep everyone around me as safe as I can. I understand things just happen but I couldn't live with myself if someone got hurt or lost their life if im involved even if it wasn't my fault. But we all have to help each other out there. And now since the cold and winter is coming its going to get difficult for all of us. Keep up the good work my friend and I know the man above is looking watching over us. Have a good day

The slow down move over law is necessary, but a minority of folks do not recognize the need to do it. Whenever I can, I get over and if I cannot, I slow down and move over in my lane as much as possible. It is simply the safe thing to do and should be common sense. Great video, as always, Ron.

3:50 This problem stems from how we're taught how to handle emergency situations in driver's ed. I'm 27, so still fairly fresh on the rules in a sense, and in PA the rule was move over *or* slow down, implying that if you're in the left lane you can still rip on by at 70-75-80 mph. It was the same in VA, FL, and OH. I imagine it's the same in MO. Humans love to take things at face value, where critical thinking is a luxury. Just look at how many fights break out over text messages. Maybe we need to lobby congress to start a new campaign that states move over *and* slow down.

I don't know if you remember the video where I asked about a 2011 international roll back flat bed, anyways, you had told me to ask the dealer about the engine and Trans to avoid a maxxforce engine... well the day I called them they had sold it that morning and it DID have a maxxforce engine so I appreciate the input you gave me at the time I'll remember it for the future for sure but it looks like for the time being my aspiration of being they guy people call for help is going to be put on hold and I'll just keep doing my good samaritan work that I've been doing for ten years (stopping for pulled over vehicles to make sure they have a certified person to call. And by the way you should see the traffic advisory lights I have on my ram for when I stop to check on people, they really are phenomenal tho not as mush so as yours.

Ron, I began my career as a paramedic and retired as a flight nurse. During all of those years working hand in hand with men like you and other emergency response teams; the total lack of concern by passing motorists (their only concern was getting from point A to point B, without pausing for anyone or anything else) was always terrifying. The only thing worse is "lookie loos". God bless you, your crews; and all other response teams

I think that was only the 2nd time I have seen you called out for a Schneider truck. Good thing it wasn’t a brand new truck. Newer trucks (2019 and newer) have a piece on the bumper that hangs down about 4 inches off the roadway ( for aerodynamics). They should have a law to get people to slow down and move move over. Oh wait they do!! It should also be common sense (but we all know it isn’t that common)..... Stay safe, stay healthy, and god bless

I think a lot of people get tunnel vision when they get on a road especially a major highway. Really oblivious to the world and anything around them. Maybe it would all do us a big favor if we took a refresher course in driving. I remember back in 1971 when I doing my student driver training .My instructor made us call out everything on road. Traffic signs, other signs traffic lights if there was another motor vehicle beside us. That made us concentrate on everything on the road instead of being mindless!

If you are stopped on the shoulder of a busy highway, you can feel the air pressure of passing vehicles rock your vehicle.

Here in Pennsylvania it’s a common occurrence to have emergency vehicles show up to provide cover for towing hookup. I work at a busy car dealership. One time I went to fill up a rental with gas, I thought I had enough to make it the 1.5 miles to the gas station but it ran out 1/2 way there and I drifted to a stop on a major hiway. I had to bail out to the shoulder, and flail my arms looking like a wild man to get traffic to notice. I called the local police department and they sent a unit PROMPTLY because they knew what would have happened. Once the officer was on scene with his emergency lights, it was only a short wait till another guy from the dealership showed up with the Jerry can. I could not have possibly fueled that car without the officer providing cover. The way I see it, that is one reason we have emergency first responders like that. It may be different in other areas but here in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania they help TREMENDOUSLY with situations like this.

You dont have room to swing a hammer under there. Get a battery powered roto-hammer and let it do the pounding

Here in the UK the recovery services always appear to use what are termed coach-stands to fit under the front wheels on a tarmac surface when using the under-lift and fitting the securing chains whereas I note that you use wood blocks. Is this a personal preference?

Thanks Ron and team. One of those instances where having a walk-through cab or even right-hand-drive would offer you a bit more safety.

Hey Ron, you need glad-hand extenders. They make it so much easier to hook the glad-hands up.

Hi, Ron. Considering the traffic hurtling past you, it was a fairly straightforward tow. Because most of the traffic was giving you a wide berth, you were all able to work in a marginally safer enviromment in spite of the speed. Greetings from the UK. God bless!!

Keyword is marginally. Just one driver getting distracted and drifting to the shoulder can still make a bad day for everyone.

All it takes is one jerk, not moving over, though 😞. Which is an all to common occurrence anymore.

Improvment suggestion: is the hood metal? add some magnets inside the cable protector and a zipper or velcro to open close.... Then it will help hold the brakeline in place, and stop scratches

Until the state passes a law that states in no uncertain words that failing to move over will result in a ticket and fine in excess of $250.00. Then that will get their attention. Florida already does something similar to that using their front-mounted cameras and you can contest it, but the owner still gets the ticket, fine, and points on their license. It works here. Pleading ignorance of the law is NO EXCUSE, you are responsible.
