Runaway Truck Through A Fence With No Brakes

[@markwheeler202]

5:58 "I set the brake." If only the trucker had, lol

[@JamesJohnson-ro2jq]

Yeah! It’s a scary thing to have a semi chase you across a parking lot that is unmanned.

[@nomercygaming5670]

Can you please do a truck tour of the service truck

[@Abdalmalk-u8i]

When I am stuck in Euro truck simulator i press V to activate the differential lock to get out from ditches why u didn't press V

[@GrammarPoliceInvestigations]

He did, the frame twist was too much to maintain traction over that last bump.

[@kelvintorrence5994]

And it wasn't a simulator either the real world is a lot different then a game. I know I'll been stuck a lot of times and had to get out all by my lonesome.

[@kevinroberts5914]

Real life is not like a video game, the amazing crap you can pull off in games doesn’t translate to the real deal too well. A bobtail is so light in the ass end it would take piling ten fat people on the back to get good traction off road.

[@spinningspin6053]

Real life is glitchy

[@davidwright640]

Does the simulator have sand and cactus mode?

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

There seems to be a plague of drivers forgetting to set the brakes lately. I suspect they got their CDL from a school where they just pay for the license without getting any instruction. One of the first things a driver is taught is to set the brakes before leaving the cab. It's something drivers do automatically. Maybe manufacturers need to modify trucks so the brakes come on when the door is opened or the seat belt isn't fastened. You can't make drivers smarter but you can make the truck smarter.

[@geraldg3130]

That's a great theory. I have heard reports of a national driver shortage. Makes sense that "schools" are just churning them out with little to no hand-on instruction.

[@EQRuges]

Well I have had my seatbelts alarm go off because of a loose cable while driving down the road. Would be pretty bad if it set the brakes too.

[@kempo_95]

you would say though that they learn such a thing for their car license too.

This may sound like a dumb question. Why didn't someone get into the truck and just turn it around and drive it out ? Or start it up and back it out?

[@classicxl]

We had a owner op last year who was hooking up to his trailer forget to set his tractor brakes. When his landing gear started to come up off the ground truck started to roll.driver tried to pull the trailer glad hand to lock trailer brakes but ended squashed between the truck next to him and getting run over

[@MrRod632]

[@Mr_brut3]

[@Jofunukun]

Aside from the fencing.. The truck rolled there on it's own.. Couldn't it drive out of the soil on it's own? It looked pretty drivable..

[@carlosmartinezz3022]

That's weird, those trucks start beeping if you forgot to set the brakes. Wonder what's the full story.

[@evangood6368]

Poor truck. its only got 20,000 on it and it already has a smashed mirror a and bin sent through a fence. RIP

[@TWX1138]

How often do you find the tractors equipped with pintle hitches? I could've sworn I've seen them like that fairly often even for trucks that normally pull fifth-wheel trailers.

[@cripticgatekeep]

I see pintle hitches on almost all LTL carriers because they pull doubles and triples depending on the state

[@NorthernS0utherer]

How much did they have to pay for the fence?

[@jaxithfox]

Hope they don't try to make you take down the video like they did with Ron Pratt when he recovered one that rolled away. Sadly forgetting to set brakes seems to be common at that company. I saw it no less than 6 times during my short stint there.

[@altonnofsker6304]

It was a good one

[@ronaldfoley5834]

Good thing was it didn't hit any other vehicles

[@JoePJack1]

I love all wannabe super truckers in the comment section. This is a very common occurrence. It’s so common, newer trucks sound the horn if the door is opened and the brakes are not set.

[@zaneturner4478]

JoePJack1 I think you are full of it common occurrence my ass and I have never seen a truck that blows the horn if you open the door and the brake is not set.

[@michaelwillis1832]

And the mirrors

[@JVerschueren]

That's a bolt-on part as well, though.

[@borisobrucicov8630]

Nice video.

[@jerrykinnin7941]

I drove a truck once. I set the brakes. It still rolled away. I was still in the driver's seat. It was my assigned truck for the day. I was prepping it at the time. They got me a different truck.

[@Hero1395]

Why the shackle between the hook and chain? Just curious.

[@plazatowing]

This achieves the 3 link rule which states that a chain is at is full working load limit(WLL} when 3 links are in contact with the winch. Often times the hook will not achieve this but a shackle will, hence achieving full WLL. Thank you for watching!

that driver should go back for retraining

[@alexisdeville3605]

Since you had already backed up to fence why did you have to be pulled through the fence line.

[@TechOut]

Not all the rear wheels are drive wheels. When they hit the raised dirt at the fence line it was loosing traction you can see the tires spinning.

[@silentepsilon888]

it was going a little uphill and with no weight on the rear drive tires, they were just spinning and did not get any traction on the dirt.

[@wickett7078]

He didn't have traction

[@sethlawson1615]

You said it had no brakes and that’s why it crashed but I’m confused because it clearly had brakes when you drove it

[@plazatowing]

[@damienthompson9565]

Can you do more towing with your old truck or more towing in general

[@iamReddington]

I don't understand how you "forget" to set the brakes on a truck, especially when it's part of your job. It's really not hard to double check before exiting the vehicle.

How much is a accident like this cost?

[@avenger007007]

Bumper for the truck, cost to replace the fence, and truck probably needed brand new suspension. I am sure the company he worked for and there insurance had a stroke.

Did the driver try putting it in off road mode before calling for the winch out? Maybe that would have gotten him out.

More than likely it wouldn't. It might have gotten him out of where he was but certainly not over the little washes or over the fence. Thank you for watching!

[@jackschissler255]

This is a case of pure stupidity. I’ve seen many truck drivers that don’t apply the parking brake. Any driver that “Forgets” to pull the brake and it goes rolling away should be fired on the spot. No reason for this to happen. It’s not a difficult thing to do or to remember.

Professional drivers don't forget to set the brake. Were you ignoring him because A) You knew he was an idiot B) There was a language barrier C) You were busy talking to your partner D) All of the above? :-)

[@reggmh]

They must have just started.

[@minghonglim9255]

I say maybe B and C, because he only communicating with the truck driver for a few minutes in the video, and he is on his phone all the time with his partner who is doing all the control on the tow truck, instead of using 2 Walkie Talkie for both of them to talk to eatch other from far away and maybe talk to the truck driver too in the video, if this is a Ron Pratt Video, I think he will used 2 Walkie Talkie to talk to eatch other from far away and not using phone to talk to eatch other all the time, just saying.

[@plazatowing]

To address both your questions, We had spoken to the driver prior to turning the cameras on. We had informed him that once we started the recovery he needed to stand back and allow us to do our job because of the hazards associated with the recovery. Ming Hong Lim, the system we are using to communicate is far more superior than phones and walkie talkies. We are equipped with a full duplex communication system consisting of headsets that allow us to be in constant communication. Although walkie talkies get the job done, this system is far superior and provides clear communication, noise cancelling when needed, and hand-free operation. If needed, we are able to communicate with others who do not have a headset by putting them in pass through mode but with the culmination of the language barrier and the driver disregarding our instructions, we were forced to ignore him until the recovery was over. Thank you for watching

[@minghonglim9255]

I did not know both of you used headsets with full duplex communication system on the towing job, I know other people need to be in a safe distance and safe place from both of you so that both of you can do your job safely and recover the run away truck safely back to the parking lot.
