Truckers And Wrecker Drivers With GUTS Get It Done! "F" it! Load It Anyway!

[@M22Research]

FSC: “How long you been doing heavy truck towing?” Tow Owner: “Since 1978.” FSC: “I was one year old.” For the rest of the video, not a single word of advice from FSC to the Tow Owner on how to load it. FSC smart. ;-)

[@andyfields3248]

As a wrecker guy I can promise you everyone wants a deal and then when the job is done we gotta fight to actually get the payment we agreed on. That is an NRC CSR65 wrecker, its a 1.3 million dollar truck. 3 employees out there so at minimum they cost $200,000 a year. His insurance on that truck costs more every month than the truck does. Fuel is like $4.50+ a gallon . . . But everyone wants a deal! Brother I can sit at home watching cartoons and go broke, if I'm working I WILL BE PAID!

[@tflo25]

It's a beautiful truck.

[@bojanmilankovic]

@@tflo25 My buddy is a wrecker driver, I hear these same thoughts a lot. When I put my Silverado in the ditch a few years ago and he pulled me out for free with one of the work trucks I knew he was a darn good friend. He got a nice Christmas present that year.

[@nickd.4512]

I was a wrecker guy for 2 decades. Ifi hook it, im gettin paid before it gets dropped. Otherwise, i had a lovely impound lot😂😂😂 1.3 mil, maybe pre covid. Those trucks are even more ridiculously priced now.

[@andyfields3248]

@nickd.4512 it was about $950k for a new one pre build back better. Right now as a used truck it would bring $1.3. New NRC CRS65s are currently $1.3 if you order it today. BUT production is almost 3 years out so by delivery it may be significantly more, they no longer let you lock-in the price when you order.

[@arneservatius1982]

You are nothing more then a “ Bottom Feeder”! Your type is what kills on the interstate!! You are too smart and skilled to be doing this. You will learn your lesson someday. 77 yrs😂

[@richardhartman113]

That rotator is sweet! No graphics, just all business! Adirondack's yard is awesome! Clean, no junk, no clutter. I like that owner, who knows his equipment.

[@DNR5586]

The truck is so new it's not lettered up yet!

The Wrecker Driver did the Job. Just Pay him for his Hard Work.

[@Andrew-ep4kw]

First, I have a lot of respect for the wrecker driver/owner. He stuck to the job, even though it was a difficult one. Second, he must have been ripped off enough to be that adamant about payment, or learned well from someone who was. Either way, kudos to him for being a good businessman. Finally, this video wound up being an excellent demonstration of all the things that a wrecker truck can do at the hands of a skilled operator. Truly impressive.

[@carlbernard4197]

Agree 💯. This guy dud a excellent job loading that tricky trailer 😮😊😊😊

[@spikester11000]

After watching the first episode I thought this was going to turn into a train wreck. Props to you and to the wrecker owner. Kept his cool and completed the task at hand. All my respect!!!

[@tomhahn6792]

Steve, this is a GREAT video! Kudos to the Adirondak wrecker team for making the project work. You are correct--they did a lot of work for $1,500.00. And good for you for blowing the end customer off on his attempt to negotiate the price down. I hope to never need wrecker service in New York, but I think you can guess who I will call if I do need help. I'm looking forward to the delivery video.

[@wilburroth5150]

A big thumbs up 👍 to Adirondak Towing! Great job Steve!

[@jrw41069]

You can take the boy outta Jersey but u can't take Jersey outta the boy. Steve you're a badass and the Adirondack Towing Inc team is one of the top notch Wrecker/Rotator businesses to do this job. Frustration on the part of the Rotator operator kicked in but he stayed with it and got the job done. Your content is always entertaining and informative Steve. Thanks for being u and not sugarcoating the Trucker life.

[@mpaqman285]

What a well thought out wrecker. Everything in its right place, easily accessed. Re configuring was easy. Dosen't even need graphics or lettering to be flashy, looks all business. What a great little mini series and we haven't even hit the road yet. Dirty hands mean clean money and yall certainly earned it.

[@michaelsorrentino9279]

One hell of a loading job Steve!! And no one was injured in the process!

[@JDGeorge240sx]

ahhh yes right on time. I got my food and Steve done uploaded!!

[@sparkypvp2167]

There is a fine line between being unreasonble and reasonable work. If it was anymore unreasonable, you prob would have back out just like the 7 other haulers. I admire that you actually got it on the trailer

[@HyperActive7]

I think it was more incredible tolerance on both companies parts because this buyer was doing everything he could to get under everyone's skin with his cheapskate antics.

[@thomasdragosr.841]

This has turned into a 4 part mini-series! I'm waiting for the finale!

[@ItsTheCostanza]

The wrecker driver mad because he gets paid more with towing accidents not trash trailers

[@80603lv]

He’s mad he didn’t get to bill insurance on the original tow, hear his tone in the earlier video who brought this here bull shit he’s jealous he’s the bottom on this deal even with that big tow truck

[@andyfields3248]

He is mad because he has worked his ass off many times before and not gotten paid for it. Wreckers get stiffed all the time, if we don't fight for our money we don't get it and you can't keep the lights on like that!

[@richbadour6002]

Well I’m 19:18 into this video and I haven’t seen anyone mad? As far as not being the first accident driver….. perhaps but I wasn’t ever upset because someone else got a tow……. I was too working somewhere else!!! Ten years pulling cars and trucks before I got a real day job and no 24 hours a day on call!

[@Occasion77]

Great work all around and that wrecker looks awesome and EXPENSIVE!

[@grasub1]

Good job - wrecker driver and the helpers were great - all coordinated and positive. Good job

[@flyerbob124]

Rotators are the only way to go. We dismantled a F86 jet in Florida and hired a rotator to load the pieces on 2 trucks so we could haul it to California. Worked out perfectly.

[@terryperrott9913]

Very well done,wrecker driver did a professional quality job, good job wrecker driver.

[@williamslover9040]

That was a lot of work for 1,620 , that buyer should be happy.

The tow trucks started with Ernest Holmes who was a interior decorator saw couple guys trying to git a car out of a ditch and that's how it started 100 plus years ago

[@S3pra]

Steve this is a great example of why persistence is so important! Awesome content

[@duncandogster]

3 to 4 hours of that operator's time, his 2 experienced employees and a $1M+ piece of equipment should have been $3K-$5K easy!

[@calebosterman3075]

And the end customer STILL wanted haggle the price down from $1,600? I was pissed for the wrecker operator when I heard Steve ask the customer "so you want me to haggle with the wrecker driver?!?! during their conversation on the phone. I applaud Steve for maintaining his professionalism during that conversation with the customer cause I probably would've spoke my mind lol.

[@calebosterman3075]

And I also applaud the wrecker driver for his professionalism and keeping his cool during this debacle as well.

[@johndeere8594]

[@dougbourdo2589]

#1. Impressed to see how it was loaded. Now, waiting to see how it measures for road haul & trip to where ever it is going to be scrapped.

[@heyinway]

Easily rebuildable. It is a frameless trailer. Pair of draft arms, fix lift cylinder, and a replace the landing legs.

[@SuperBigDog2U]

Damn, what a man has to go thru to make a buck these days.... good thing you had a skilled wrecker that would put up with that guys attitude and help you get the job done.

I’m not the smartest but it would have made more sense to have loaded the rear first to start with. Can’t wait to see it unloaded.This is a mini series.Good entertainment.

He should have you backed under just passed your wheels let it down ,lift the front and just roll the trailer back,done

[@maxx21147]

OUTSTANDING video Steve (as always). The wrecker driver/operator has 47 years of experience & it showed. - VERY professional operation, by everyone, all the way around. Steve / W5BIB - P.S. you're getting close to 100k subscribers !

[@scottbaker1018]

The coolest part of the video. Even though the wrecker co was pissed...it became a challenge for everyone to get this rag loaded no matter. That was the goal Great job and awesome content

[@bostedtap8399]

Some serious skills and knowledge there, and it shows. Should have been a team of riggers to do this, but customer wants, or needs a cheaper solution, and pi## off everyone, not much meat on the bone for anyone. Great job all, and thanks for sharing.

[@wushock92]

What an amazing guy that Adirondack owner! Major kudos

[@clintstegall1069]

With that wrecker driver having forty five years of experience, anyone working around that man the motto is, mouth shut, and ears open. This is the way it should work,the elder teaching, and the young buck listening. However in today’s society the younger generations know everything about everything and has never been around the situations or had hands on experience. Great job fellas, enjoyed your time,work and achievements. Take care and stay safe. My opinion, is hands on experience is more valuable than words in a classroom as far as educating someone in the construction field, I have been around it all my fifty years on gods green earth and would not trade it for anything.

[@Jesse_Jessie_James]

I bet he wished he had another wrecker to just lift up each end of the damage trailer at the same time. We do loads like that all the time. Always have to get wrecked trailers. I am always training wrecker operators how to do certain load's and I am always paid dam good. We do have a big crane and we charge allot each hour. Lucky all our crane wreckers have remotes. My wife's grandma was like I bet the wrecker operator and Steve was happy getting it loaded.

[@ronaldallen8765]

The wrecker driver is Amazing!

[@DJPLAST2]

Too many chiefs and not enough indians. Everyone has their own idea and they are correct in their own minds. Actually no wrong way as long as the rust bucket gets loaded and nobody gets hurt. I hope it comes off a lot easier than it went on!

[@philipmichel215]

Birthplace of towing is Chattanooga TN. Ernst Holmes patented his invention in 1918. Holmes as well as several other wrecker manufacturers are now owned by Miller Industries. The wrecker used in your video is Canadian manufacturer NRC (I didn’t know it was started by a fork lift fabricator)

[@johnagauci3223]

Phil , Your information is correct, I am a Canadian, We did not invent the tow truck or the wheel lift, The wheel lift was invented by two guys in Idaho , Have a great Day EH !

Those wrecker guys were excellent & professional. Food looked good as well.

[@michaelmurray9643]

I watch several other Wrecker/Rotator channels but this job was one of the most demanding and difficult. Great job to the whole crew that got this done. You guys constantly amaze me with your hard work, creativity, enginuity and "git er done" mentality. Tip of the hat to all of you.

[@dougmcallister212]

Hey man great video!!! You’re old school. Most of us would’ve drove away!!! This is something my dad would’ve done. I hope they paid you well and the owner tipped u well

[@HyperActive7]

The biggest problem in this whole ordeal was the buyer who made everyone's day on a difficult load to load with a top heavy front that much more stressful. Once he was out of the picture, you guys all seemed to work well together so I hope the buyer understands how lucky he was to get the type of companies he did who were willing to put up with his crap and do what needed to get done.

[@calebosterman3075]

Amen to that. Those types of customers can be so abrasive especially in a challenging situation like this. The best thing these types of costumers can do is just stay out of the way and let the pros handle it and DON'T try to negotiate their prices down more when they're already getting a damn good price from seasoned professionals like the wrecker driver and Steve (Weidmeyer Express) for such a difficult job.

[@nonsequitur807]

Exactly!

[@michaelworden9265]

I've watched almost every season of Canada's "Highway Thru Hell" Heavy Haul Towing Reality Series. The fool of a customer is lucky he didn't try pulling this crap on Quiring Towing's Driver Gord Boyd or Jamie Davis's Drivers Scott Byrd or Adam Gazola. Kudos to this man for putting up with the fool customer's bull crap as long as he did.

[@glbaker5595]

All I got to say is bells and whistles to that towing company❤

[@stevenbush7840]

Earnest Holmes built the first wrecker is 1918, it was based on a Cadillac. Mr. Holmes legacy lived on into the late 80’s when they were bought out by Miller. I have one of the last Holmes wreckers produced in my fleet and wouldn’t trade it for a dozen Jerr-Dan. They built some legendary heavy duty (600, 750, 850 were some of the most popular) wreckers and they sort of were an early “rotator” so to speak. Check them out, absolutely fantastic pieces of engineering!

[@bigjobford1956]

Good Job and that Wrecker guy was good and loved how you were with him and I think he saw that,Working with him after that guy f-ed him around in the past and you weren’t taking no 💩from the trailer owner 👊🏻

[@skwerlz]

I've loaded some weird stuff in the jankiest ways, this takes the cake. Guy's lucky you and the wrecker guy are too stubborn to give up. In the customer's defense though, it's cheaper to haul this wreck across the country and rebuild half the frame than it is to buy a new one. I'm interested now in the delivery and unloading, and if that turns into a train wreck or not.

[@leonb2637]

I think after a while the wrecker company guy liked the challenge and wouldn't allow it to beat him. His equipment was new and clean. I bet he has seen some nasty wrecks in his time. The guy that bought the trailer must have got it really cheap, likely for major parts like the dump body and hydraulics system that are rather expensive new (this is a 2017 model trailer) to put on a good trailer chassis. Now you have to get it to Minnesota in one piece and dealing with the hassles of permits, etc. I bet your sandwich was better than you usually get at the truck stops.

Ernest W. Holmes Sr. was born in Hobbs Island, Alabama. He became the inventor of the first tow truck when he fastened various parts to his 1913 Cadillac. He then founded Ernest Holmes Co . In Chattanooga,Tn is tow truck museum that has the wrecker

Hey Steve. I get where you & the Owner/Tow Driver are coming from. For what you all had to do to get this loaded $1620 is a HELL of a good price! In WA state a 20 mile 1 way trip just for a winch out cost Dominique over $6k. So yeah a HELL OF A GOOD PRICE. If your ever in South East Missouri Steve & need a tow. Shameless plug of a nother tow company & KZbinr Ron Pratt VP of Midwest Truck out of Scott City, MO. OLD school ethics, & old school professionalism. Does thing by the book, and sometimes his ideas don't work, but one of his employees will have an idea & you their idea worked better & he EXPLAINS what he's doing & WHY to the new Employees so they learn. Hopefully you never need them but... If you do you'll get 1st rate service out of them.
