Sometimes You Just Gotta Make It Happen!

[@PopsCustomSignsLLC]

It takes a "can do attitude" to be a recovery expert. Well done, Dustin.

[@scottb02]

Dustin it's a good thing of professional like you showed up to help the dude! It's a shame the last tow driver didn't know what he was doing. Very professional job!

[@bejay69]

Where there's a will there's a way. Nice job Dustin. 👍

[@Ron-q2m]

Impressed with your not commenting about Campbell's You're the better man

[@georgekucharo1960]

Brother, you are a talented dude!

[@Towtruck_DustinWifey]

Love that you don’t find an excuse but a way to get it done!

[@brucecobb2349]

HE GOT THE REAL DEAL . CAUSE DUSTIN GETS EVERYTHING.

[@Larry-325]

Nice job Dustin! Good thing the other guy didn’t try it. This needed a pro! 💪👍👍

[@jjvlogs7899]

Hey man thanks for the idea never thought to use the wheel lift with big j hooks next time I do a boat I gotta do that

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

I do that all the time. Especially with conex boxes and stuff like that that overhang.

[@Mike-Ruby]

Enjoy what you do and you'll be dam good at it! True professional

[@jonathanfreedom1st]

The salt water did a good job on that trailer, up here on Lake Erie we dont have a trailer rust issue. Just our trucks like to rust out and bend in half from road salt.

[@jrbcpht]

Dustin I am impressed how you can stay so neutral and not say anything negative about the previous employer’s employee.

[@Tom-6502]

The other tow truck driver probably couldn't handle the full life story of the customer... I wouldn't be able to... I just can't imagine what possesses people to unload all of that crap onto another human being. I find it to be incredibly rude.

[@jwall6006]

Dustin is so polite and ethical. He needs to be though. If he was out there bad mouthing his previous employer, or not assisting them at a wreck, then it would show on a video or someone would tell them. That could cause him all different kinds of legal issues.

[@jwall6006]

@@Tom-6502 some people are just talkers. In business, you need to listen. In a lot of situations, in his job, it’s that they’re nervous, in shock, scared or just a talker.

[@gh2687]

​@@jwall6006I know right. Often I want to say I'm only here to provide a service, not looking for friends..😊

[@jwall6006]

Poor guy, left on the side of the road because the trailer died, then waiting for a wrecker, only to be told I’m not able to do this. I’m so happy you were called. That didn’t even seem to be as difficult as some of your other tows. But hey what do I know. Good video.

[@royburgess4720]

I love what you are doing mat

[@jdwht2455]

I was always worried when I had a boat that it would need a tow as it to me was a bit undersized and under tired (fixed that part) for the boat. Never had a problem but it is good to know that there are people that can do the job. Nice recovery, Dustin

[@czechmate6916]

Great job Dustin this took skill and a professional. 💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇨🇱🇨🇱

[@dannylim3318]

Ahh, Campbell Towing is left with young punks who don't know what they're doing. If only they had someone experienced working for them...

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Dustin, if anyone else can, you can! Thank you for sharing 👌 😊

[@campy9712]

Great job and great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@LindaZeno]

Excellent recovery Dustin! Kudos!

[@eddiejanise4503]

What can I say . Dustin just made an educational video on how to load a boat with a busted trailer. 😂

[@joseRios-ck6sh]

A calm mind and focus equals to a finished job!

[@joedavidzuniga1993]

[@juniordenney9892]

Great job as always 😊 Keep up the good work!

[@robertw.anderson6102]

Boy, this guy could talk your ear off!

[@92mrsrdb]

You were so professional not to tell that gentleman you used to drive for Campbell's Towing and the driver was probably in the same wrecker you drove before Donnie let you go

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

I wasn’t let go. I quit.

[@brucemcgowan5651]

Awesome job Dustin. Great video. Old boss is regretting letting you go. I truly hope your happy with your new employer. Oh. Nice new wrecker lots of room and storage. Stay safe sir.

[@gidget4971]

Good job Dustin...that was something new.😊😊

[@matejšabec-y5d]

nice job Dustin😊👍

[@jerrydoan8675]

I agree I'm sure Campbell's is missing out on a good driver

[@indica113]

wow that was a good one... I was waiting for that poor trailer to collapse lol .. Good job getting it up on the bed!

[@Irishguy075]

Cool video with a boat, this guy had to know that trailer was going to just fall apart at every weld, very irresponsible for him to put people’s lives at danger like that. It’s embarrassing that the other guy left cause he couldn’t do it but give him a little credit for realizing his limits and not just loading it up and making it more dangerous for everyone. That other company must wish they had a guy that can do it all like Meyer’s does now? Good job Dustin. 👍

[@CurtisWilliams-ph8wl]

Great job.

[@karlif]

Unbelievable! Driving around with a rusted out POS trailer that's falling apart. Just a miracle that thing didn't fall apart and hurt somebodt else on the highway.

[@gh2687]

Great content Dustin. Something new

[@nicholasquallo6291]

Job well done bro

[@TowMan127]

Good job bro! 👏👏👏👏💪💪💪💪

[@TimIvins]

i was wondering what happened to my boat LoL

[@garryhall2964]

Couldn't you have made a ramp like you would for a low profile car? That may have given the clearance for the motor and the cross bar.

[@ronaldgrantmcintyre159]

good job dustin.just a thought tho,perhaps if theblock of wood had been replaced with one of your skid plates at hitch it would have raised the back of the trailer .

[@the2060ish]

Dustin you are to much of a professional to slam the other tow company you know was Campbell. Hope it wasnt your friend who threw his hands up and left. 👍👍 kudos to you

[@OxfordBreakdownRecovery.]

I keep some wood to put under the wheels to get some clearance.

[@jgrant4060]

I made set of wood ramps out of 2x6 All flat beds need them

[@briansoles607]

Should’ve used the wheel lift and a 4 x 6 to lift that up and slide it onto the flatbed?

[@lol_05.76]

Former employer (Red Wrecker Co.) must truly miss your skill set Dustin. Way to improvise/problem solve on this job, Big "D".

[@donaldcampbell5277]

Sounds like Campbells only does the easy jobs. That customer won't recommend them. We'll done.

[@RS70_UGHC]

* Epic. How did the unload go?

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

The opposite of loading it lol

[@wb6anp]

Don't know if you had one, but could you have used a 4x4 on top of your wheel lift to push up on the cross member?

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Could have but would have needed a really long 4x4.

[@kevinkern4661]

Watched

[@tombeilman5579]

I guess he didn’t have any tie down straps on the transom, wouldn’t it have been easier to change the flat first

[@jimsmith9819]

getting rid of you was the other companys loss and meyers gain

[@derek89273]

Dustin what's going on with your mustang, was it the differential

[@texastowman233]

I drag the truck under instead of dragging the trailer.

[@Blend-24]

Awesome. That’s why I haven’t ever really got into boating, I heard the trailers fall apart on the way home. Great video

[@SOUTHSIDE_HTOWN]

I'm sure me Dustin and every other tow operator has pulled up to a call and had No clue how to load it. Let the young guy make it if he sticks with Towing he will figure it out

[@CheerfulTent-ww4hr]

Sawzall the crossmember off

[@waltk9067]

👍✌️😎

[@Саша-з4э5ч]

Мне кажется что ты сможешь даже разобранный кубик Рубика загрузить на свою платформу,молодец.Профи.

[@LindaZeno]

😅😅

[@wk7060]

You had to sweat a little on this job.

[@leongwat1]

looks like you have had some kind of neck ingury just asking

[@DMBall]

Boat owners would do the world a favor by just leaving their vessels at a marina, instead of trailering up and down the highways, or worse, parking their rigs in their driveways.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Not an option here. That would add hours to your travel time on the water. We aren’t on a giant lake.

[@Adirondack_Gimp92]

Most boat owners Are not like this guy and take care of their Equipment and keep it in safe working order. This guy clearly didn't care he had his boat on top of a piece of crap Trailer that had started to fail long time ago. He's just lucky that didn't fail and cause a huge accident with a lot of liability on his part. Not to mention needless risk to other drivers. Clearly he's not your typical boat owner.

[@mrcnorth7149]

Great job Dustin. And for other boat owners, if you trailer looks like this guys did, go buy a new or used one, do not use it as is. Lucky this guy did not cause a big wreck when that completely used up trailer broke down. I am kinda surprised the po po did not show up and cite him for that trailer being not road worthy.

[@andyneipert2527]

We had called to different tow co tow car way that wus left her by family friend and send tow co tow car way charger us for towing and no lock out and gave tow man tip

[@paulbernas1800]

Don't know what he's doing.

[@Adirondack_Gimp92]

This guy obviously didn't give a crap about the fact that he was towing what looked like a pretty decent boat on top of a very dangerous and unsafe trailer. Not just dangerous as in his boat's going to fall off and go skidding across the blacktop, but dangerous to all the other drivers on the road. Irresponsible big time on his part. If you just want one clue, look here 14:21 , you can see he has a couple of possibly 2x4s laterally, one on each side keeping the bottom of the transom from rubbing on the trailer. Clearly, long before this thing collapsed on the highway, the frame had already started to give way, and it wasn't supporting the boat properly anymore. You could see other frame members that were clearly 3/4 rusted through with visible rust showing. He just ignored the problem, or didn't care, because rather than junk it he just stuffed a couple of pieces of wood underneath and figured that was good enough. He also didn't have any other tie downs other than the winch on the front. That's a huge mistake. The front needs to be tied down with something in addition to the winch, plus two additional transom tie downs. This is standard stuff when you care about your boating equipment. This guy obviously didn't. He's lucky he didn't lose the boat and injure a bunch of people, and have a whole lot of liability to deal with. Good job Justin in cleaning up somebody else's mess. You're a good man, and also for not mentioning your previous employer. Always be safe out there.
