I’ve been following Johnathan for about 4 - 6 years now. The thing I admire about this man is, whenever he goes on a accident call he ALWAYS, ALWAYS cleans up the accident site. Not like a lot of the wrecker services here in Maryland where they leave the pieces laying at the accident site.

Back when I was a volunteer firefighter in Illinois a lot of the wrecker services wouldn't cleanup more then the big pieces and just sweep the broken glass to the side of the road. A lot of the time we were tasked with the cleanup and we would then back bill the insurance company for it based on time and equipment. Semi trailers ripped open were usually a big cleanup.

Just a suggestion, if you come across that tire issue again. Tilt the bed and roll it on ..might have to chain it but sure is easier on the back. 👍 Nothing a little bubble gum, baling wire and crayons can't fix 🤷♂️😳🤦♂️🤣 Kidding aside, glad nobody in the suv wasn't hurt. Those air bags hurt when they go off.

If you had a impact, should have separated the wheel from the knuckle so that you could pick them up separately and likely only about half the weight of the whole assembly. I'm guessing maybe you thought of that on the ride home every time your back twinged.
