Thank you for the awesome video brother , I have watched your videos and start my own towing and doing well since tow years, you have all the credit for my success
Our wheel lift tow truck is down and I knew enough to be safe in a flatbed, but I knew I was fighting myself every time with strap tightness and unloading the trucks. This video has me moving smooth and using my body a lot smarter. Thank you so much! -Young Fleet Mechanic
Just picked up a tow job and I’m in training. Appreciate your videos, been watching them to pick up some new tips and keep my mind refreshed on my days off. You’re a huge help man!
I just got me a rollback job and had no experience but this help out a lot thanks for the video you helped a lot of us newbies out I start Monday 7-5-2021
I've I've never fully understood why companies would put drivers in the truck and not knowing really what they're doing that leaves too much room for somebody to get hurt
This is the first video I watch. I am thinking about having a tow truck. I just retired 25 years of working on automobile and running a shop. I want to have free times when I don't need to work, so I can enjoy with my family. Thanks
Absolutely amazing!!! I ve been driving a fuel tanker for 30 years, tomorrow I start training to be a two truck driver. I like and appreciate your style! Neat and clean! Thank you very much!
Thank you for showing all of us how to professionally load/unload a car and making sure no damage occurs to your load when transporting it. Thanks. Arriaza family in San Francisco California!
Thank you brother. I start monday on my own. Ive had good training these past 2 weeks my trainer showed me alot. Im just trying to learn as much as I can by watching good videos like yours. Thank you and God bless you sir! May he keep you safe everyday especially when on the road.
Thanks Donald. I reviewed your video and found it very informative and helpful. I am looking to work for a garage service that has a flat bed tow truck and this video helped me very much. I will get more training from the company but its nice to go there knowing this stuff ahead of time and to be organized like you.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!
I haven't done this for a few years so I appreciate you taking time out of your day to make and post this video. It was a great refresher course. Peace.
Thank you fellow Missourian, thanks to you I won’t look too clueless on my first day. Edit: I’m not completely green to towing but I’ve never run a rollback, so getting to see a step by step with lil tips is very helpful
Taking my commercial experience to the next level, I just took a job with a local agency ( no names ). Your step by step was awesomely done. Thanks for your time and the step by step.
Awesome video I love learning from old dogs like you! I climb cell towers now, The older guys knowledge is priceless. Made me real good at what I do. thinking about doing some towing. knocking down the climbing hours, Getting rough on the body. You look like a tough horse! Stay safe out there brother.🤙🤙 You have a gift that most people dont...common sense! Say hi if you're ever near Chicago.
I’m getting a tow truck next month with little to no experience, just some assistance and training with a family member, I appreciate this video and the comments section.
You just earned one new subscriber here . I'm saving up for my tow truck this year and gonna be going back this video in the mean time 👌 Thanks for the informative video !
Great vid. Great instructor. Im a female tow driver in California and decided to watch a bunch of vids on a whim because everybody does it slightly different and I like to see all sides of the industry. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for taking time in the hot heat to show people how to do that just started a new job driven flat bed so just wanted to make sure I had little info thanks again
Safety chains are always good 5 places of attachment at a minimum in my state and I do the exact same as you in fact I've gotten ideas and tips watching your videos. Been doing it for 25 yrs
I appreciate you watching my videos when I'm glad I could give you some tips I've been doing this since I was 15 years old I am now 48 years old be safe brother
Hey boss man your videos are very helpful I’m looking to buy a tow truck and I’ve been watching a lot of videos .they are very helpful thank you so much!!
@@mklockley I’ve got an old school Ford with a 7.3 idi and a 17.5 foot jerrdan bed with 12,500 lbs winch and a wheel lift. I have to pass on the four door trucks but I stay busy with cars, small trucks and small SUVs. One of the oldest tow companies in town throws me stuff he can’t get too because he likes me I guess. only thing he wanted in return is to take care of his customers like they were my own. I’m thankful and grateful for the work.
Thank you for this video I am just starting to do time and the guy who has been training me has called me everything you have in the video all truck is slightly different but practically the same I did not know that you could put the PTO brake on to let the chain move down when you had the bed come with a chain stay down fighter surprise my boss with that one thank you for this video you are a great teacher
This is very educational for me as a rookie, for you not using curse words at all in all the video yet you conveyed the intended message; you are a true professional. thanks
This is awesome nephew his friend and and I went in on a 78 c68 flat bed tow truck yesterday trying to start a salvage yard/ towing/ lawn service just so we can help some of the youth stay out of trouble
Aye fam greetings frm Long Beach CA watched this same vid b4 i started driving a flatbed now ive been doing it 1 month and ur vid helped me greatly gotten alot of tips wit ur info speically wen it cone 2 handling the members car thanx much and safety on the road brotha #TowLife #FlatbedGods
This is a great video. For added safety and security I keep my tools in the side compartments and on the passenger side because I do alot of freeway work. Makes me feel like a human bowling pin. Then when I go to lunch they are already locked in their compartments
I tell everybody that I've ever trained when you start working your own truck to set it up how you want it cuz everybody sets the others up differently to make it more efficient for them
I always wondered how to do this, but I'm sure there are days that throw you off, or maybe not...yea I dig this video, I'll look for more like this because I would like to do this...thanks for the vid
Thank God I found your video, Im just starting out so of course I want to work smart not harder! And I'm really short so fighting with straps n chains is not fun 🤣😂😅
I have an interview tomorrow to drive for a recovery company. I've never drove a rollback before. Closest experience I have is a box truck. This was very informational and gave me alot of insight. Something I would recommend to add in the future is 1. Where to stop backing up when loading a vehicle 2. When to start tilting your bed, whether it be loading or unloading. Thanks for the rest though it's given me slot of confidence.
My 4point tie down has a 8 point lock down to the bed. So I never have to put them away. Saves time. Also I never put it in park because some of these newer cars have a weak parking pin. Nice video though
Nice job. I've been towing for 20 years and I do just like you did, except my company wants us to use tie down chains on the rear. See ya in the ditch!
That answers my question. I heard many people say you can't tow a car with automatic that won't start. But obviously you can for the 20 feet or so it takes to get it up on a deck.
I like it.you are very good man take care the car going up flatbed tow truck .you are very carefull put car on to flatbed tie it up and untie car.you should own tow truck company for your self.i am pround of you do good job.
a well wound cable is the first sign of a good responsable operator , i will try strapping a car like that next time , i have a HD tilt tray i move earthmoving gear so i dont have the standard car gear but everyone has 4 straps to choke a tyre ,good tip im not going to nit pick your procedure we all have our ways as long as it is safe and secure ,no damage
Thanks for video I just got my first towing job I have used a pto abd flat bed truck before but never as a job so wanted to see how a pro does it they know I never worked as a driver before abd told them i dont know anything so I can learn as much as possible
Thank you for the awesome video brother , I have watched your videos and start my own towing and doing well since tow years, you have all the credit for my success
Do you need a class a or b to operate a roll back
Let’s get a Testimonial Sample video
Best instructional video on this subject that I’ve seen. Thank you.
Good video, I’m 26 years old. Just bought my first flat bed tow truck. Trying to learn all the steps before the tow truck gets delivered. God bless

This is really good. I’d just like to add that the laws generally require 4 tie downs minimum. Not including the winch.
YES THEY DO
