Somebody screwed up! I had to walk away from this one

This propane truck attempted to get to a state ran radio communications site to fill their generator tank WAY too late in the season and slid off the road in the snow. The propane company called asking if I could go up and help pull it back onto the road, but didn’t have all the information I would have liked to have, so I went up to see if I could get it out. When I got there and realized how bad the situation was, I knew there was nothing I could do for the propane truck, but I was able to get the ODOT truck that was stranded on the other side out. With as long as it had been up there, and as bad as the road was, my suggestion was to leave it there until spring, but the propane company really wanted it out.
Make sure to watch part two here!
Well that didn’t work!

[@DavidHutson-pt5pe]

The biggest screw-up was by ODOT not just getting a dozer or other type of snow plow on that road to plow it open, BEFORE they called for a fuel delivery.

[@CaseyLaDelle]

Wrong. ODOT ordered the propane to be delivered beginning of September, just like they do every year. Then when it still hadn’t happened by the end of September, they upgraded it to an emergency order. The propane company still decided to wait until December to send a truck up.

[@donaldatherton319]

I was bummed out that the propane wasn’t delivered in fall also,but see Caseys reply. Propane co. Screwed up and now lost a truck up a mountain. Dumb and dumber

[@mikesmith8090]

Ah, but that requires common sense.. Something many people, business do not use anymore. IMHO.

[@mikebelcher5111]

​@@CaseyLaDelle Well that's interesting to hear because I noticed that that truck was in America's truck I have a better dress here in Kentucky. It took me a month and a 1/2 and truly threatening with legal action because it's not others disabled they were expecting immensely bad weather. This is very common with America as now and it's because they have sent all of their call centers overseas you can't speak to anyone that speaks American as A first language. They will not but you do care manager they lose your orders they don't care...

[@arnulfob3454]

You got that right, I run a 12M grader for a county road dept and that's what I do with a v-plow . And if someone gets stuck I'm the one that gets them out .

[@jandyg]

It blows my mind how almost every single person Casey giving recovery instructions to, has the window rolled up. Or bearly cracked. Roll it down and listen.

[@LiLBitsDK]

but it's soooo cold... *eye roll* yeah well you know... I fully agree with you

[@3vs547]

They're scared to death.

[@ctcrosslines1]

Yes-put your front windows down!!!!

[@prenticefincannon9239]

I'm going to watch part 2, hoping the missing tire sock is recovered.. that's the cliffhanger I'm interested in haha

[@howtogetoutofbabylon8978]

I was so glad to hear that Casey is trying those. I have been trying to get someone doing off-road recovery and snow and whatnot and ice to use those to try them out so I'm glad he's open-minded enough to do that!!! They would save so many people's cars and lives that's why he knows especially in those huge pilots on the highways like 3,200 cars in a pile up. Much of that could be prevented because so many more people we have control over vehicles. They could either slow down or avoid the problem altogether!!

[@grumpyoldman7818]

I thought you said you weren't any good at this. I think you are very good at this so keep doing it

[@tomdeschrijver8221]

Knowing your limits is also a part of being professional. Well done 👍

[@dccheek7495]

The art of winching is not understood by many today . Casey is truly an artist when it comes to winch recovery. It amazes me at the lack of information customers want to withhold when they send you on a recovery and try to play you for a fool also. Someone always spills the beans and the truth comes out .

[@optimus163]

Good winching involves Physics, Geometry and a bit of creativity .

[@AlTurner-zc9qw]

Winching isn't an art pull cable wrap around trees or pulley blocks and push a button

[@stuartx4]

You did a heck of a job getting that truck out. Respect!

[@ckm-mkc]

Incredible recovery, that's just amazing. Now you need a giant snow cat to get that large truck out.... That should be epic.

[@toddunruh3998]

This is what recovery videos should be like. Awesome!

[@scottthecrazy]

oh, this is that video.

[@MikeJones420Blazeit]

The one he told us about in the first radio tower video right

[@sharonmiller6436]

The first and second trips to the radio station tower have already been posted. There were no problems. This tower is owned by ODOT.

[@jb3536]

Being from Texas I never realized how technical these snow recoveries can get.

[@Page5framing]

Snow is horrible to recover from. It changes throughout the day. In the morning it’s nice and frozen and you can move easier. Mid day to afternoon it gets slushy and make everything 10 times harder. It’s an ever changing target.

[@bobohunter1776]

​@Page Five Framing Its also not like mud where there's most likely gonna be some dry ground to recover from. What's even worse is if it's actively snowing.

[@Page5framing]

@@bobohunter1776 exactly. It sucks unless you are on or in a tracked vehicle. Then it’s wicked good! 🤘

[@silverstake88]

I would certainly take the batteries out so they can be charged/warmed up. Then bring them back inside a warm cab. Batteries are useless when this cold - even to try charging.

[@benson098123]

🙂As a Canadian I’m amazed the propane truck driver tried going up there in the first place 🙂

[@kevinmcfarlane9113]

That was one of your best recoveries.

[@patriciaeich1098]

Great recovery Casey. 40 years ago my husband and I lived in John Day. I always dreaded the road through the Ochoco’s in the winter. Slid off the road a bit one night headed back from Bend. Put on chains and made it out but somehow lost one chain. My friend and I pulled into Mitchell and used a pay phone to let our families know we would be late.

[@evanburroughs9329]

Outstanding! You might, one day, may be, get good at this!

[@Torsee]

😂

[@davelee9087]

Watching Casey with what seems like hairbrained ideas has taught me that he does know what he is doing! Sometimes I believe he stays up late at night making sketches of weird ways to recover vehicles, but they do work! Slow and deliberate. Great results Casey.

[@RangieNZ]

It's just being able to understand gravity/ friction/ pull directions/ etc.

[@mikesmith8090]

Being at the scene of a pull out or service call is much different than seeing it on a video. Tow operators must take the best approach to prevent any damages, injuries first off. How people/customers interpret instructions is another worry as I have been their myself many, many times and rarely do folks do what's asked of them properly.. I think Casey did a great job all things considered. When I too was still in the business I handled all service calls on my own, all while being disabled on top of it because I love helping people out and being paid for it too!

[@davidsmith385]

Watching Heavy Rescue 401 and the one from the western part of Canada and the rescues these guys do some are very creative. You have to be smart, safe and very creative in some situations

[@sandralutz-rodriguez2864]

Holy crap Casey they got themselves in a pickle here. After making several bad decisions and leaving the light on you now had a massive slug to get the ODOT truck around. Your creative rigging and keeping people save is topnotch. Seriously mad respect Casey! On to part 2!

[@braxtonjones4699]

It always amazes me what they don't tell you when calling for a recovery. I had one last week that they called for a light recovery and neglected to tell me it was loaded with 9k pounds of batteries.

[@3vs547]

You use encouraging words like "Perfect!" when helping out folks that are already pretty stressed about the situation that they are in. You are a good soul.

[@Tim_Pollock]

Much respect for your skills Casey!

[@fvsmith]

This looks like a job for Matt and his new massive off road recover truck. That was a big cookie you took a bite out of.

Great job of showing how to get a vehicle around & out of another problem.

[@Wardog-rf1tx]

Reminds me of the early 80’s when I was in Tank Transporting unit in the British Army in Germany. Truly didn’t understand why they would teach us all the different types of winching, as we were always setup for a straight pull on to the trailer if required. My first winch was a cluster of large proportions and I was thankful of all the great training I had been given before joining my unit. Casey your a master at your profession.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦

All through the 1990s I piloted a 1980s 1 ton Chevy with a Holmes Commander 1200 on the back and an added on Vulcan wheel lift underneath it. With the right riggings as in snatch blocks and spare cables and chains I was able to do some pretty massive recoveries with this small truck. Some classroom training and a lot of OTJT from some very experienced older guys and a lot of solo stick time. My original teachings were practice in private before preforming in public I think that one line help me be very successful with great recoveries and no additional damages caused. Later on I got spoiled with some pretty stout medium duties but I'll never forget those beginning roots.

They make this cool machine called a D8 Cat. The propane company needs to be acquainted with one.

But, a D8 will get them out easy.
