[@johnmcmickle5685]

This proves that it might be a good idea to have different size dump trucks in the fleet. A tandem axel with a smaller bed might have had to make two trips, but it might not have avoided the wrecker bill.

[@SumterWrecker]

Mr John thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe

[@robertlawler1387]

Well companies have what they can afford or what's available at the time

[@johnmcmickle5685]

@@robertlawler1387 Most of them I have been around want the largest truck they can afford. Be it a tri axle or quad axle. Not getting rid on an older tandem axle might be a wise decision. There are a lot of occasions that do not require twelve yards of material. If gives you versatility and that means a possible expansion of your customer base.

[@dennispalmer6007]

It maybe that the number of jobs that a tandem is needed doesn’t warrant having one in the fleet.

[@johnmcmickle5685]

@@dennispalmer6007 Unless yo are on a major haul project like road building you can throw a tandem in to do the work

[@jamessmith7691]

Now that's some real back roads. I saw where the ditch truck would aim the tires into the ditch so when the back was drug out the front would steer up on the road. Sounds crazy but it works well You have great videos with a lot of action and some explaining. Mr Wilbert and you seem to make a good team discussing the job. The one guy I watch micromanages every single little thing. Be safe out there you two.

[@SumterWrecker]

I know the micro manage guy. He makes a lot of rookie mistakes. Im not a tow operator but some of the things Ive seen him do defy common sense. He recently humiliated his best guy and it wouldnt surprise me if the guy quit for that. He has his son training now but his micro managing takes his crew twice as long to do a job.

That "Gumbo" mud must have glue in it. Doesn't seem to want to let go. Anyway to get a 3rd wrecker on the front from that direction?
