Utility Trailer Loses BOTH Axles, and Goes Into the Ditch!

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Good Recovery 👍 Could have gone bad! Thank you for sharing 👌 😊

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Thank You for watching!

[@yellowdeer7163]

We had a backhoe on a trailer and the tires, rim and all broke off in the rear and when we slowed down the tires actually passed us and we never found the tires and rim. Lucky we didn't lose the backhoe. Stay safe.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Oh wow!

[@VonniDe]

Another great recovery Dustan. I spose it is hard for people to understand that you actually know what your doing, and they feel hopeless they can't help you. Stay safe 😊

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Yeah that’s a fairly common issue.

[@marywhite6798]

puzzle, puzzle, puzzle, and you worked through it

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Those are the fun ones.

[@SandraRamirez-wu8vv]

That was awesome!! For a minute there I thought it was going to slide off! 😅😂 Great job!👍😎❤️

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

It was slightly sketchy lol

[@steves9915]

Nice job getting it safely up the bank and on/off the truck. Hopefully they can fix it so they can still work.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

It’s gunna take some work unfortunately, but it seemed fixable.

[@steves9915]

@@Towtruck_Dustin Yeah, it's good they grabbed the other axel. I'm sure it'll be back on the road and glad I won't be there, LOL.

[@BiancaJacquelineWawrzinek]

A lot of work and a great job

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Thank You!

Tough one, but ya got it🏁

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Took some working, but I made it happen

[@markgulbranson-qe3ky]

Well Dustin we have had a week of non stop rain here it finally stopped raining this past Friday October 6th but I heard there were some accidents. There was one a lady friend suppose to have hit a person's car while she was driving up here . But one I asked her to send me pics of her car she kept making excuses . I even talk to my friends in the State Patrol and no such accident . So right there I knew what was next she was going to ask me for money and she did I told her I was broke 🤣

[@peggsargent132]

Great job and great helper so hopefully it can get better soon

[@stevenferris901]

Nice job Dustin, you are always calm cool and collected no matter the situation you find yourself in. Your calmness I am sure always helps the customer!

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

I try. Getting all whipped up never helps anyone.

[@BigCat-he3ps]

The results of White Lining a trailer and catching stationary objects . Keep all towed items Centered between the Yellow and White lines that you are in .

[@TOWNCARBUBBA87]

man that’s messed up. tandem axle trailers like that can be a little pricey. hopefully they do something with that one or something . good job brother 👍

Hi Dustin

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Hey there

[@jwall6006]

Why do people continue to stand in between vehicle on the side of the road, or right where the winch is going to kill them if it lets go? Do they not see the news when people get killed? Drives me nuts!

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Some people are oblivious to the dangers. Luckily traffic wasn’t bad.

[@joem178]

On your next situation like that you should try to do what I do when I do containers that come up crooked at the end I keep the bed extended down grab a long piece of 4x4 raise the bed a little put the wood under the container at a angle so the wood can push the container over when you lower the bed to straighten it onto the bed works for me raise the bed put the wood in the rim at a angle then lower the bed it should push the rim up and over when lowering just make sure it's a good long piece of wood it's something new to try but good job

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

That’s a good idea. I’ll have to try that.

[@cdarting91]

That side puller is pretty dang nifty!

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

One of my favorite tools!

[@watahyahknow]

looks like he slowly veared intoo the berm , maibe caught a low pole / roadsighn tearing the axles out from underit , hes probably wide awake now after the fact if the trailers frame is still straight it should be fixable , probably needs new axle as the old ones are surely bend

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

They hit a parked car.

[@steveshipkie1624]

That was a great video thank you

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@darondickenson2208]

Dose the other two company's have there own yards the drop off the vehicles other than the ones u use

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

You must have a yard to do any impound towing.

[@deanspagnolo4976]

Great job well done

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Thank You!

[@robertalves2914]

A little suggestion when you get it up onto the road get it actually on the road and then straighten it out and then that way you can put the trailer back on straight without being cockeyed a little bit that's what I've seen on some flatbed tow trucks I know a tow company in California that can put a trailer like that on his flatbed and straighten it out and make sure you go down the road with the straight on the bed

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

That works well in theory, assuming the trailer tracks straight. Unlike a damaged trailer. Like this one.

[@RowanHawkins]

This trailer had 1 tire, and one rim, a dismounted axel and a partially Dismounted one. There was nothing going to be straight when everything is already odd angles.

[@glyn1]

Well done have the missing tires turned up yet looks like this could have been the same BPNZ

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Still never found them

[@waltk9067]

👍✌️

[@howardgreen8890]

Mr. Dustin im going to get me a roll back and im looking for a place to get a set of tie down straps like the ones you use on your roll back for your 4 point tie down

When you walk the truck, do you keep airbags inflated or doesn’t matter?

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

I always drop the air.

Hey Dustin could u olz share the link for your guardian angel lights again thought I could use them to put on my lawn mower trailer that I use to go to and from work and I always come home after dark ty

what towing software do you use?

Towbook

[@kenlypacquette3918]

Dustin your flatbed should have a crane one it the Job would be easier

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Yeah no one does that in America.

[@kenlypacquette3918]

@Towtruck_Dustin does they allow flatbed tow truck with crane in your country because in my country that's what we use and the wrecker truck

[@johnronsmith]

@@kenlypacquette3918 I don't think there are any rules against it, just not something that is needed often enough to justify the added weight/cost of outfitting a truck with a crane.

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

It’s not a technology that’s used here. Most of our vehicles weigh a lot more than the vehicles driven overseas. Especially here in Texas, a lot of our trucks and SUVs way two or three times what the little cars driven overseas weigh.

[@laisuresboringadventures7052]

Looks like u should have winched it from the back

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

I don’t like doing that. End up fighting it more. Then the axle wants to move, and the tongue and jack dig into the ground and cause more damage.

[@neilz9182]

[@laisuresboringadventures7052]

@@Towtruck_Dustin I see ur point now at the time I didn’t think about that

[@RowanHawkins]

​@@laisuresboringadventures7052The tongue will also be a single point of contact letting the trailer twist just like old trikes used too.

[@robertalves2914]

I bet people don't even know how to be on the other side of the road so that way they don't get hit by a car evidently other people don't understand that something needs to be understood when the tow truck driver tells them to stand on the other side of the road and stay out of the road so that way no car can hit anybody

[@devryhughes]

GoodrecoveryCOULDHAVEGONEBADTHANKyou ☝️😄

[@axercst]

i would of called another regular wrecker to of aligned it up at the scene but thats just me

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Don’t have that much time to waste. That would have kept us on scene for another hour, waiting for them to show up, when I could do the work myself, and not have to split the money with anyone.

[@charlieirvin5423]

Going to Need a Longer Bed for that truck Or Longer truck

[@Towtruck_Dustin]

Why? Length wasn’t an issue. The only issue was the broken axle dragging along the ditch not letting me center it on the bed. Other than that the bed mad more than long enough
