Transport Trouble!! Multiple Vehicle Rollover!

As a retired Truck Driver of 41 years, I can always sit on the grassy knoll and watch you men do your work ! I'm a new sub for sure.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Thanks for the sub!

[@WhiskeyGulf71]

I don’t know who Donny is to you but I can’t say that I liked him at all, he lacked the ability to see the angles & predict what the Ford truck was going to do, his only good call throughout that stage of the recovery was about the Ford truck being caught on the guard rail. His pulling angle was all wrong & he was mostly dismissive of any ideas other than his own. The last major annoyance of this particular job was the guy in red, getting under your feet & trying to tell you how to do the job ! Still it all got sorted out, great assistance & advice from you Dustin, you are the kind of people I enjoy working with.

@@NeoMKthat ford was bought from the auction and was being transported to a client. It already had salvage title prior to the accident. So there is no real value to that truck. I can tell by the decal on the windshield. It was from a salvage auction. So there is no write off to speak of

[@tfhate]

Definitely got lucky he didn’t collect anyone else. That would have been a bad day.

[@calvinh.8882]

@@Towtruck_Dustin It would suck for the vehicle he slid into, but as for damages, he would have been better off keeping it straight and sliding straight into another vehicle. You can tell by the way his rig and trailer landed that he wasn't going very fast when it rolled over, so If he had just locked the brakes and kept it straight I don't think he would have hit another vehicle that hard. Maybe 20 to 25mph. and doing that just the RAM would have been damaged. Well, and the vehicle he would have hit, But when it comes to spit-second actions, most of the time the body reacts and tries to turn and avoid hitting anyone else. Just glad nobody was hurt, that's what matters most.

[@woody4u247]

Well done, I was happy to see you take charge & reroute the snatch block to the pass. side & shorten the snatchblock chain.. I was literally talking to my computer screen saying What are you doing? when he rigged with the snatch on the close drivers side & left the chain long.. that was bad enough.. then he raised the boom & literally put the pull point right back where it was when straight off the boom sheave...chain it short & pull low.... BTW... when ya get one that slides & doesn't wanna grab to roll... sometimes a simple floor mat under a tire will give enough to grab until the rubber sidewall catches.. but if the roads are icy & there's nothing to bite... take a chain and zigzag it in front of the tires on the pavement... when you apply even a little pull, it makes the tire sidewall bite into the chain links & starts to transfer slide into downward grip until the tire grabs.... simple but effective. Another trick to control the pull angle...since you had one winch line fail during this...down to a single line pull... if you have a chain bridle rigged up on the vehicle to a single winch point.... if you need to keep the winch hook in a certain place instead of "skipping" to the side of the chain bridle as ya pull.... take the grab hook from a chain & hook it into the bridle you're hooked to... then the winch can't pull past the grab hook & allows the pull to stay where you want it...allows you to steer/direct your pull... all with single line

We had a wreck on 105 just outside of Vidor TX. I watched from my porch and saw tow trucks with red and blues. It's very effective for slowing down traffic as I witnessed.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

I’ve noticed a huge difference in how the traffic reacts to the red and blues over the ambers.

[@melissaJarrett-z6m]

I grew up in Texas I didn't think other than emergency vehicles could run red and blue. Has that changed? I now live in Oklahoma and even road crews run red and blue. You never know until you tried to them while they are just driving down the hwy. I do understand wreckers. Also would be fine with red and blues on while actively working in a construction zone. I think people are less likely to yield when every vehicle out there has red and blues. Just my thoughts. I also used to be a paramedic in OKC. Couldn't get people to move no matter what.

[@razy7609]

Twin line wreckers always impress me, they punch well beyond their weight

[@zoomwithsmokeybear2597]

I know you probably been telling a long time, but by running chains straight back on your bed, they could come loose and the truck could walk its way off the side of the truck, I have seen it happen, even to but the truck didn't come off as bad cuz I saw it going that way, I always Crossing in the back that way it can't go anywhere

[@Leotheconstructionguy]

That is impressive how the wheel lift truck flipped the pickup and trailer so easily

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

The twin line wreckers make easy work of stuff like that.

[@towtruckaj]

Not really the heavy of a pull, Pickup probably weighs 7-8k, trailer maybe 4 or 5 let's say somewhere between 10-15k for both together, Flipping it requires you to pull half of its weight so 5-8k pull. Wrecker probably weighs around 15 by itself so with the brakes locked it can pull 10k easily without sliding, winches will do probably 16-18k together with single lines.

I was assuming to much weight, over the tow vehicle?. (And backwards?) Changes geometry. Im considering pulling the same trailer with F350 SRW. But lighter cars up front. No HUGE trucks loaded first. Light car then heavy truck then light car. I think that will work.?

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Yeah definitely don’t put a full size truck on the top as high as you can go, and you’ll do fine lol

[@Whatever0704]

How did this happen?. What is it because of the load being placed all on front of the trailer.? I probably do not know what I’m talking about, but I would have placed the load around the middle of the trailer a little bit towards the axles.

2nd issue that no one addresses with these wedge haulers. A lot of them use the factory Ram 5th wheel plate thinking its sturdier than a gooseneckball. Its a dual pivoting 5th wheel plate specifically designed for hauling RV's. It allows just as much movement as a gooseneck ball.

[@shauncollins2017]

@George Thank You for pointing out the #1 issue. I figured it was obvious by the way the truck was loaded on the trailer that this driver was a rookie and had no clue what he was doing. And clearly you've never seen or used a factory Ram 5th wheel plate either. But you're right, I have no clue what I'm talking about.

[@Acutecareems]

The roll over occurred because he put the F250 too high on the trailer. It was a 4 wheel drive, lifted I think, and he put it over the bed of the Ram. He should have put the F250 low on the trailer. That was too much weight, too high in the air and on a gooseneck ball that pivots. Recipe for a roll over. When he made a turn, the F250 took the entire rig over.

So does the wheel lift of the dual line set on the ground completely for more stability? Truck seems to very stable for a short box wrecker

Because the back tires would be hanging off the bed, and would be pulling down on the front end really hard.

I never understood why people would think it’s smart to load these big trucks up front dude was empty he could’ve easily put it near the rear of the trailer which would’ve decreased the probability of the truck flipping that F250 is in a dangerous location to heavy to be on the nose of that trailer plus that truck is getting so much air that’ll bring your MPG down too

That has nothing to do with balance having a truck that big at top of the trailer by its self is extremely Top heavy so the issue here is "Mr Nubby Transporter" being lazy and not un tieing truck and moving it down after unloading the other 1 or 2 vehicles that he probably had on with that Super Duty.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

As previously said, the transport driver was either lazy, or possibly inexperienced and had the trailer loaded incorrectly. That heavy diesel truck should have been loaded down closer to the axle, not on top of the trailer over the 5th wheel, making the whole package extremely too heavy, which caused the whole thing to tip going around the curve.

[@towtruckaj]

Those small wreckers are a pain in the ass with no outriggers to have low pulls, It may not be recommended by all but my recommendation would be to get a 4 or 6 foot strap and wrap it around the boom of the wheel lift and plant the wheel lift on the ground then hook a snatch block to that strap and you'll have a much lower pull.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

It’s against manufacturer recommendations to set the wheel lift down while winching, as the booms are made to flex. Stopping it from moving can cause the boom to snap.

[@towtruckaj]

@@Towtruck_Dustin agreed, however you don’t have to completely plant the boom on the ground as if it were any outrigger just let it float a couple inches and that’ll still get a much lower pull

If you tried to roll it with truck still on the trailer, it likely would have rolled over towards us because it was too heavy. Not to mention we only cut the one strap to free it, so it wasn’t even completely secured, which means it could have came loose, and at a minimum caused more damage if not killing someone.

Has to be annoying when a client is all in the way of you doing your job. Truck guys tend to think they know everything about trucks.🤦🏾‍♂️

Top heavy probably made rollover easier all front weight of trailer resting on 2/5/16 th ball easy to lose control
