She has so called Dustin at 3 AM and flopped back to sleep. The bosses wife . Kudos to Dustin for putting up with this.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Huh?

I can see it 😅 just with her attitude alone "I just can't right now "

[@Irishguy075]

@@Towtruck_DustinI think he’s saying it was like watching paint dry cause she was very slow and you keep saying not exactly how I wanted to do it but did? Just step in and take over, you’re the operator. I enjoy all the videos.

[@dandydonslife9869]

Dustin, great team work and winch out, enjoyed watching and seeing how others do it. Thanks!

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate your continued support!

[@VonniDe]

Ah 1 of my sayings is "Do that and that happens". I think he might have learned his lesson. Fingers crossed 🤞. Yeah he will be sore over the oncoming days. Nice to see Tara at work as well, great job learning. Stay safe Dustan. 😊

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Thank You!

[@ginozanga2129]

You made the right call Dustin by calling the other truck, work smarter not harder.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Thanks! Having the twin line wrecker definitely made this a lot easier.

[@pleco652]

It might have been able to get done with the rollback alone. Winch the car so it’s high centered on the culvert, walk the bed under it enough to clear, lift, load.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

It was definitely doable with just the rollback, but the wheel lift was only a few minutes away, and it was available so I brought it in.

[@ginozanga2129]

Work smarter not harder, that’s why Dustin brought in the extra truck

[@BiancaJacquelineWawrzinek]

That was a lot of work. With the other truck was a good idea. Thank you for this wonderful video

[@JOHNSIMAS]

I would have used the bigger rig to pick the whole car up and over to the street. But, you two did a good job.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Although that would have been fun, but this was a light duty rotation, and we can’t charge for a heavy when it’s not needed. That would have taken a lot longer to accomplish the same thing.

[@drp1bb856]

There’s a towing company up here in NY that tried charging $20k for a Honda Civic recovery because they used their rotator. The insurance company told them to just keep the car. From what I understand the insurance company value of the car was less than $10k

[@jimtadlock1082]

All that grass, mushy or not, a few trees on the far side of the culvert and he finds the only concrete pipes for at least 50 yards I either direction to stick it on🙄.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Right. Lol went just wrong enough to put it in the worst spot lol

[@charlesgiannuzzi5438]

Dustin question, would it have been easier to put the tow truck? Where your flat bed was to pull the car sideways up into the yard instead of back onto the road. Either way, it turned out Gand I love your videos. Keep them up, stay safe.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

I don’t think it would have been any easier, and it would have only caused more damage to parts of the car that wasn’t already damaged. Dragging it back out the way it came was the best way, other than lifting and swinging it like my original plan.

[@TxNative84]

Looks like The Farms. Man i have not been back in LJ for some years now.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Yep. That’s the farms. Lol

[@TxNative84]

@Towtruck_Dustin I thought I remembered correctly lol. It's a flash down memory lane watching your videos man. Keep up the great work brother.

[@markgulbranson-qe3ky]

Dustin it was great seeing her out there helping you & doing phone calls at the same time. It seems Donnie's truck might need to go in shop and get the controls fixed . Sad to see a beautiful car like that wrecked . Nice job on getting it out I was a nervous wreck and I wasn't even there 😂 . Right now my fiancee & I we are going to look for another up here so she can go thru physical therapy to get her leg strength back after the auto accident in September. She is now wearing a full leg brace on her left leg . As for that burnt out Ford explorer pickup with the trailer that was sad to see that happen.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Would be fun, but not necessary. We couldn’t charge for it on this call anyway.

[@scott_3800]

Good job man! It was a different kinda call. I had one similar, the car was high centered on a rock. Steep hill, curvy driveway. The customers daughter came home late, and didn't keep it on the driveway. Good thing the rock stopped it, since the house was about 20 feet away. That would have been bad. Was this on a golf course? Or was that guy watching, and getting in your way, just some retired guy that has nothing better to do, than be nosey. Lol 😂😂😂

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

It was a neighborhood. He was just watching because this happened in front of his house.

[@scott_3800]

@Towtruck_Dustin Oh, ok. I thought he was a nosey guy on a golf cart. When Tara showed up, I figured it was Donnies wife, since you said she was also doing dispatch. It was a different kinda call man. I enjoyed watching.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

I wished we got more calls like this. We’ve been pretty slow on good wrecks lately.

[@artyart31]

Looks like the same place where you picked up that white chevy van on its side a while back. Great work

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

No, that was on the highway. This is a residential area.

[@joem178]

She should've turned her truck around facing towards that squad car that way she could help you the way you wanted to do it the first time but you took control good job plus Where's her safety vest plus if the steering could turn I would've turn the wheel towards the left tied it down kept it neutral so the rear of the car would turn towards her truck and why did she want to finish the call you had it under control good job any way and you did do it yourself in a way

[@JamesHunter-vi5ys]

Dustin great call for bring in the truck

[@grahammurphy4842]

I thought you didn’t want to drag it you could have done it with yours but good job it’s out that’s all that matters and no one hurt

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

I didn’t want to, and I could have used the rollback, but having the twin line wrecker bad this a lot easier.

[@TexDrinkwater]

I'm always trying to figure out how a wreck happened. No idea how this guy got in that position, but whatever he did, I'm sure he regrets it.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Distracted driving. Once it starts off the road, it’s not easy to get back. Especially with the ground wet.

[@haroldholland1316]

Dustin , I think I would have just passed on this post, it’s so bad! Hope you have desire to own your own tow company some day, this area needs some serious competition, except for bringing the truck she was useless!

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

She owns the company. She was nice enough to bring me the equipment I needed. I didn’t need her to run it too. She was obviously busy dispatching and talking to customers.

[@georgeprietz4424]

I’m looking at this video wondering why you didn’t set up coffee to the cop and pull the rear around and then pull it up on the road? I love this channel though. I’m learning. When I decide to change jobs I think it would be great to run a tow truck.

[@TexDrinkwater]

I think we saw her when you were dropping a vehicle off at the yard in one video.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Yes, I believe she was in a previous video at the yard.

[@dustinmorgan8128]

U guys need a rotator for that kind of job that is what you need

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Not even close to being necessary, although it would be fun to use. This was a light duty police call, and we can’t charge for a heavy duty truck.

[@theirmom4723]

I bet a lot of things went through that drivers mind at once.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Yeah. Definitely could have been bad.

[@orange50]

Yeah, like the air bags.

[@robertalves2914]

On this type of job should back up to at least whatever the length of the road to the ditches then that way get a straight lift and then go one direction to the other that's what I've been seeing and what I have seen

[@jonathanmoss5328]

It was already an insurance claim. Why not just drag it out with one vehicle, load it and be done. And on to the next job?

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Because this was better done with our twin line wrecker. Which was near by and available. Why not use se the proper tool for the job? It only took minutes for it to get on scene, and saved us a lot of time on the recovery.

[@jkbish1]

the damages look horrendous. I can only imagine the repair cost.

[@cutliss]

Insurance would not fix it. Too much damage for an old car.

[@TowMan127]

Damn!

[@lanewhite3651]

Hey Dustin, i have always wanted, become a tow truck driver/ operator, how do I get my tow truck operator license

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

depends on the state you live in.

[@lanewhite3651]

I also live in Texas

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Then you have to get a tow operator license for whatever kind of towing you want to do. I recommend getting your Incident Management license, which is a 100 question test. Otherwise you just need a normal class C driver’s license. Most companies will train you and help you get your license

[@taranewby368]

Who owns the wrecker?

[@ACBaker09]

why 1 hour long

[@danisilezwane8092]

That is a bad accident 😬

[@chatrkat]

Talk about a worst case scenario. Nothing is easy in your business! Only an experienced tow driver such as yourself could ever handle this mess. May as well take that Nissan right to the scrap yard, it’s done.

[@babooll5632]

Seems like truck 2 needed to be much closer to car, more vert lift

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Wouldn’t have helped. If anything we needed a lower pull.

[@laisuresboringadventures7052]

U should pull it up the hill not down off the Calvert

[@raddy8898]

Does the other tow operater get a few bucks?

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

I reckon so. She owns the company.

[@lonewolfette]

That cop looked so disinterested. Would have been nice if he’d actually left his vehicle to direct traffic. 😜

[@davidjibson4199]

A rotator would of came in handy for this one

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Would have been more fun, but only kept the road shut down a lot longer. Having to wait for it to show up, and all the setup, breakdown and rigging.

[@jarchie84]

Homegirl screwed up that recovery. You could’ve done it better with just a rollback. JS

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

She did just fine. I would have positioned differently, and could have used the rollback, but it was nice having the boom and twin winches on this one.

[@jgrant4060]

Why pull it back over the culvert pull it forward and load it 2 stooges at work

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Because that would cause more damage in places that it wasn’t already damaged. Best thing to do is take it back out the way it went in.

[@timmydangiolillovlogs8678]

Is that your bosses wife ? Definitely deserves credit not a lot of females go out and do this.

Yes. She’s one of the owners. She’s always down to help run a truck when needed.

[@busbyadventures]

To bad yall don’t have a rotator you could just pick the whole car up.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Couldn’t charge for it anyway. It was a light duty rotation.

[@kevinunderwood2224]

This was very hard to watch. It’s almost like you are taking forever or bringing another truck because you heard they have full coverage insurance. There was not a single reason that you needed a second truck to pull this very totaled car off the covert. If you think this was all necessary I recommend some advanced training for you in that roll back. Because the truck would have done the job without an issue all day long.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Hahaha. Obviously you know nothing about the towing and recovery industry, otherwise you’d understand why it made more sense to have the twin line wrecker that was minutes away, come help.

[@RustyZipper]

I could have gotten that out with a come a long, a 2x4 and a Prius! But just because insurance deems it a total loss to the owner doesn’t mean they don’t want it recovered and able to re-sell it for parts / salvage. I could see if it barrel rolled but it just needs air bags and front end work.

[@babooll5632]

[@wallykosh6383]

Why having a woman doing this job all she did was texting!

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

She’s the one of the owners of the company. She was dispatching this particular morning, and I only needed her to bring me the truck.

[@davide.s.9880]

OK I'm sorry for this post. Is there such a thing as a smaller / light rotator tow truck? If you could boom over the top and lift . But you can only work with what you have. OK OK I looked and found this. Maybe your company could add something like it for them in-between jobs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKulp2Wvd8erjdE

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

The problem with that is, this is a light duty police call. So we can’t charge for heavy duty equipment. It’s not needed in this situation either. Waiting on a heavy to show up would only waste time and keep the road blocked longer.

[@davide.s.9880]

​@@Towtruck_Dustin Well that is true about using a heavy wrecker and charging. The link I sent looks like a light ish heavy wrecker. But like you said you could have done the call by your self. But you called a second on this one. I comment because I'm just trying to make the job easier not knowing the towing business.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

A 16 ton rotator would definitely have been fun, but it would have taken just as long, and a lot more rigging to lift it out. Although it could have avoided collateral damage.
