I've taken every "Temporary Incident Management" classes on line (Tennessee) and I've learned a lot. But it's good to see how operators such as yourself do the actual work. Securing the vehicle later, after you off the highway, is an authorized procedure. Smart too. Thanks for the videos.

You should try using some of your absorbent instead of dish soap. It works fantastic. And no slippery mess.

On the rear of the Equinox, you could have used the mini-j hook and gone into the slot in front of the rear wheel instead of the rear control arm.

Yes but then I would have to go in my tool box grab a ratchet strap and ratchet the hook it tighten it down big chain hook is the fastest way period to get of the highway safety!

I do the same thing on highways...1 chain or strap down and tell my customers to stand over the rail or in the grass and get gone to the next exit and then strap the rest of tires down!

So when you had it on the bed and after putting the big J hook on you had the car in neutral when driven off highway

As the car comes up to you have a chain ready to grab a tow slot up front. Chain it off to the truck real quick. You pulled away with the car still in neutral solely relying on a j hook and the winch line.

Times have changed, skates didnt exist yet so we used antifreeze way back time. I like dish the soap method. Nothing more dangerous than an interstate pickup with no police assistance or a spotter. Happy hooking stay safe.
