Chuck Chavez , hello, but have you seen, RON PRATT. MIDWEST TRUCK, , or PLAZA TOWING? Both heavy equipment operators. Cheers From NJ🇺🇸

[@TrevorDennis100]

@@flybyairplane3528 Yes the Midwest Truck channel is interesting, but I find I dip into that channel now and again, whereas I have been binge watching Matt's channel since finding it. He gets into some amazing locations, and the action is much faster.

“It was coming up...” haha

[@titopacheco8616]

LOL, yea one time i wasn't stuck in my jeep either but "it just stopped" LMAO

[@TVsGringoStarr]

It was coming up right up until it wasn't. It's like that truck I as looking at in the Auto Trader years back that said it ran when last cranked.

[@PetesNikon]

Matt, it's your common sense and understanding of lifting, positioning and weight and forces that makes you a natural recovery chief. You understand what's going on and your suggestion to lower the car a bit to flip the rock out of the way shows how you understand this stuff. I like watching your work because you DO understand what to do.

[@radioguybigd]

If this was a reality TV show everyone would be arguing, getting mad, this 5 mins of content would be stretched out to 30 mins with ad breaks and cliff hangers in between

[@ThatGuy-sd3zl]

Also you’d have a narrator with a really deep voice making everything so dramatic. “With the car precariously pitched nose down a steep incline, Matt attempts to lift the wrecked vehicle up with his 12 ton wrecker truck. With uncertainty coursing through everyone’s veins the vehicle is pulled but problems soon arise as a massive rock weighing 32 tons is propped against the vehicles underside. One wrong move and the fuel tank could rupture setting the entire neighborhood on fire. After several gruelling minutes the decision was made to lower the car once again in attempts to free the rock. Matt’s decision worked and the wrecker crews is now faced with another danger. If one of the winch cables snaps it could recoil with deadly force, potentially injuring or killing one of the wreckers crew members.” 🙄

[@tosgem]

@@ThatGuy-sd3zl that is an awesome comment man. I laughed out loud

[@rabbithole2015]

@@ThatGuy-sd3zl This seriously has me laughing. Best comment yet. You nailed it. You could definitely have a job as one of the narrators you are talking about.

[@andyrbush]

You are so right, there would still only 5 minutes of content. I no longer have a TV because they have such long adverts you forget what you were watching. They know that and so they repeat the last 3 minutes of what was prior to the advert, then show an additional 3 minutes then stop for another advert.

[@Frank-Thoresen]

I guess many of you have watched the Canadian recovery series "Highway through hell"? I can only watch it if I can download it and jump over all the narrator crap.

[@dhag72]

So this is where Matt's youtube began! Been a fan for a couple years, but never went back this far till now!. Starting to watch all your videos from the very start! Can't wait to see more. Thank you for having basically a full videography of MORR. I see here its "Winder Towing & Recovery" I like MORR better :) Thanks for keeping all these old videos up Matt. Love it

I liked it when Matt said lower it a little and see if that rock flops off. Yep!

Did you notice the rabbit running off into the bushed after the rock flops?

[@dukeflem]

Winder took the higher road. Pull it out without a lot of drama and quietly turn it over to the other company and leave. Awesome.

This is the type of recovery I’m looking for also everybody at winder towing does an amazing job working together being patient and getting it done safely and properly and they make amazing videos at the same time it incredible how much they do good job to everybody at winder towing

[@SasquatchTX]

How does the police dispatch work there in your area? Rotation list, first come first serve, or the police contract with one specific company as primary with backups? Since you didn't collect payment - guessing the PD pays for this one, or did you just wind up billing the first company for the extrication? I spent 16 years in the industry up in the PNW before moving to Texas a year ago, your channel popped up recently in my recommended vids and I got hooked. If we hadn't come to Texas, we would've landed in the St. George / Hurricane vicinity. You guys get some pretty crazy recoveries but you seem to handle them well. I can tell from your vids that customer service is top priority for ya'll, which is how we handled things where I used to work, and what I tried to instill in my employees as a business owner. Great content, Matt!

[@KAnyeDAWay]

Eric from back in the day no way!

[@1987FX16]

I love that Eric is still around and a part of the MORR team.

[@KenOwens78]

Thanks for all the videos. I'd rather watch you doing your job than almost anything else on network tv. You and the crew make it all look so easy even on that tour bus job with the driver that wasn't cooperating. Thanks again and please keep sharing.

[@kenc2257]

Yeah...that tour bus driver who kept turning the steering wheel, when he was told (too many times) to keep his steer wheels straight. He was out of it (and glad, I think, to let one of the crew take over the driving),

@2:45 was that an F bomb? Now that sounds like the people I know in the wrecker business. LOL

[@BikingVikingHH]

Even if that other truck wasn’t as big as yours, he could have at least pulled up parallel to the direction that he was pulling and done the same thing you did with a slightly shorter arm, but the car got snagged on that rock one way or the other. But then of course we have to understand that he couldn’t just drop the car where it was and re-position without the car falling back into the ravine, and he probably picked his original position which was a little awkward so that he only blocked one lane. Lifted the car almost to the top and ran into trouble, called a second truck instead of starting all over again, kind of makes sense if you think about it. Certainly quicker. On the CHP dime, time is definitely money, get it done quick and now. Old-timer has nothing to be ashamed of.

[@Bread996]

He blew the winch hydraulic line. Nothing else he could have done at that point.

If both Matt and Eric show up on the job, get out of the way and watch the recovery show. The lifting power and reach length you have with the boom is impressive. Why it is important to have the correct equipment to perform the recovery. 👍👍👍💯%

[@lightningdemolition1964]

If they are on a rotation list the dispatcher must call the next person on the list. As long as they have the right equipment they get the job. If you cant do it or dont show up quick enough too many times they might bump you off the list but they cant play favorites.
