- Absolutely amazing teamwork from everyone involved on this job. OSP and ODOT were great to work with and everyone worked so well together. This was near Burns Oregon. The rear steer failed, forcing him into the mountain side. Thanks to everyone involved in this team effort! Hope you all enjoy the video!

Thoughts and prayers for the guy that is paying the tow bill on this job. Good job on the recovery.
Yeah. He didn't make any money that day, for sure.
And probably for another 6 months too.
im sure something like this is covered by insurance with some kind of deductible.
A load like that has Insurance
Yeah insurance, I know somebody who needed only two tow trucks, and the bill was like $25k, imagine, this bill, will be over $100k. Insurance could say bye bye to the owner. Or pay cash. Insurance have a power to kick you out, if they feel you cost them to much. Insurance is legal mafia.
Now this is reality.I’m glad to see no bickering just straight up cooperation amongst men hallelujah
That’s how we work 😎
That's because everyone of them was a professional. The cumulative experience there to get that rig "back on its feet" had to be staggering! This is a "how to" video for those of us (like me) who're anxious to learn. I really enjoyed the video.
Unlike some of the comments eh? :-)
Amen

I like it !! No snapped cables, everything went smoothly, GREAT JOB.
In the 70's and 80's I drove a heavy duty wrecker, I snapped a cable pulling a drilling rig up a steep dirt hill. My truck jumped 2 feet off the ground, and I DIDN'T get hit with the cable. MUCH RESPECT to your whole team.
Someone teaching a physics class is going to use this video as an illustration. Good job.

The care in calculating the little pull lines to add up to the total vector... Perfect HighSchool Math Is Epic thread worthy.
Seems safer to have ur Hooks always with the point of hook looking Down.
@@waynerain2372 There is a reason for hooks up, but I don't know what it is right now.

This Driver got extremely LUCKY on this rock wall being there or this would be a much different discussion
And stopped opposite a pull-out!
When my teachers used to tell me “ you’re literally going to use math in everything” I never believed them😂😂😂😂
The mathematical capabilities are the truck vrs load truck less than load numbers are off .
Cause we in 21 century use heavy machinery.
Kindergarten through college and life experience in One job.
it's more of a physics at this particular scenario but yes maths also
Dont need math to paint nails.
There are people in this world that are skilled in niche markets. And I respect people who do their jobs well. I tip my hat to you kind sir, job well done.
Thanks Rog!
The best part of this monster job is the fact nobody would do the job and these guys said yes right away and made it look easy. The Math never lies. Great Crew, Great Job.
Yep! We always say yes! 😏
Haha that's what she said
Well done, guys. Nobody else wanted that job, but you did it. The heavy recovery world is a small community, and you'll be remembered for this accomplishment. DOT and police agencies will have you on speed dial.
😏
It's not that they didn't want to do the job. It was most likely because they didn't have the capability of moving this. Even Ron and the tator would have been outmatched on this one.
You couldn't pay me enough to teach anyone how to do the job
Like a symphony of cables, winches and diesel . . . . . BRAVO !
👍🏻
I'm glad it didn't fail him going down the hill. That could have been bad. It goes to show how fast things can go sideways.
Yep, literally sideways in this case.
@@TheDeezelsmoke no kidden lol
This shows what different kinds of jobs that wrecker operators are faced with everyday.You guys along with Pepe's, Ron Pratt , Sumnter, Jamie Davis, Al Quiring and other operators deal with all the time, and every job is a whole new ball- game.
nice domain
Good thing Pepes wasn't out there, they would've had atleast 6 rotators on this recovery. Great job guys!
I enjoy you showing the math that you use and showing the game planing so people not in the industry see that it’s not just hook and pull
That has to be hands down the best recovery I've ever seen. Your teamwork is spot on.
Thanks!
@@CountryEquipmentRentals YOU DESERVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY IN THAT WEATHER!!!!!!!!!! PERFECT!!!!!!
I drove 39 years. Hats off to all the heavy wrecker people! It’s a job skill,and can be dangerous .
Imagine the driver of the truck showing up next morning with a tow bill to the boss
75 to 100 grand? Ive seen 80k for a rotator picking up a wrecked steel hauler and its lost load.
I would bet the bill is big enough to warrant an insurance claim.
I'm pretty sure Country Repair is pretty fair on prices i seen them prices and are pretty fair and it takes alot to be on towing over 36 years that means they are doing it right
@@jorgegonzalez-bk8zn Fair yes, but most of those trucks are charging around $500 hr and they also charge by how much cable is pulled in certain circumstances. So a buttload of trucks, all the miles to get there, and all the hours on site are going to be a hefty bill.
@jorge Gonzalez you nailed it bud 👌🏼😎
A lot of people asking why not unload the machine first. An RGN is incredibly difficult to separate at a sidewise angle and almost impossible to do it when the truck is twisted at a different angle to the trailer. The bottom of the trailer would not be supported properly the way it’s leaning, and dropping it to unload could cause severe structural failure of the trailer. Plus, lifting the rear power unit by resting the pan on the deck while the trailer is leaning is just asking to have the whole thing slide off the trailer. There is absolutely no room on that road to set up a large enough crane to lift that scraper, and you just greatly increase your risk of catastrophe trying to do that. What really caused this accident is anyone’s guess. And what it cost for recovery is really no ones business.
This is absolutely the most amazing comment I've ever seen! Now if you can copy and paste this on everyones comment so I don't have to explain it lol Thanks Bud!
Pure unfiltered No BS Team Work goes along way in critical situations such as this. Great Job to all involved
Thanks Jon! 👍🏻
And that’s what a whole bunch of Ron Pratt’s look like. That’s a compliment drivers! Never seen a recovery at this level! Awesome!
Woah... I had no idea that so much math was involved. Really cool to see in-depth what goes in to something like this... Hats off to these guys, they're pro's!
Thanks Jake!
WOWZERS! That's a MEGA recovery right there. I see lines, cables, snatch blocks, straps & chains EVERYWHERE!
Don’t be fooled … half the lines are shadows 😁
Too much time to do it the sophisticated way
Awesome work!! I saw Sarge and it took me back 48 years. I was stationed at Ft. Hood, Texas as mechanic and wrecker operator (1974 - 75). I was with the 96th Transportation Company (heavy truck).
Man that was a dam good recovery, no damages to the rig or freight, thank God for hard and a whole lot of know how from the wrecking crew. Appreciate y'all.
Thanks 😎
Personally, I'm always amazed at people or teams that can do things I would have no clue about accomplishing something like this team. I cannot understand why 554 people gave this a thumbs down. I think they are just jealous.
Those dislikers don’t know what they’re watching… In this job safety is most important. Speed is the minor factor
I think the dislike because it's a bit boring watching the unperceivable moving of the rig.
In regards to the dislikes, my mom had a saying that went "some people would complain if you hung em with a new rope"
Those are the recovery guys who turned down the job...LOL
....and people always say "when will i ever use that math?!"
Well, here's a damn good example!
👍🏻
I would NOT like to pay the bill for that job, but it was well worth it. Your Mathematicians and engineers are brilliant. Well done all of you.
Thanks!
That was maybe the best hour long telling video I’ve watched in a very long time! Definitely an hour and nine minutes well spent.

How in the hell can anyone give this a thumbs down! Quite obvious they must be deaf and blind! Nothing like a well thought out plan and a TEAM!
Thank you! 😎
Absolutely awesome company providing drinks for the workers!
I've hauled a lot of these 8-35 pans and 750 E dumps and it's rough stuff you gotta know your stuff to drive these mountain roads. This was a great job getting this equipment back on the road..awesome..
That's why chaining down loads is so important. Could you imagine if that scraper came off. God bless
I run lowboy also, I cross tie just for this reason, cross tieing will NOT ALOW IT TO SLIDE . And usen the Propper size of chain & not galvanized .... And also getting your binders as tight as you also. I've seen where drivers had a chain or chains not tight & your chains can snap because you have little bit of slack .
Would've been easier to winch out if it had come off tho.
@@terryperrott9913 yes sir if you have slack in the chain. It shock loads it. Chains are not designed or rated for shock load. Keep up the good work sir. God bless
@@cthunter41 no it would only if came completely off. This one would have only came off partially. It would have made it far more difficult.
@@terryperrott9913 yup, bouncy chain will bend and break shit
I would not want the bill for this recovery! Lol. The knowledge and teamwork was impeccable. Fantastic recovery to all. Superman saved the day again. 💪💪💪💪
Great team you have give them a cigar outstanding job skies the limit for ya'll ty for the adventure used to operate them old girls retired now
The mother of all tow jobs ! Well done gentlemn
Thanks Paul!
What a job! Excellent work. Experience really helps. You have a great crew, have been watching for over a year now.
The best illustration of teamwork. From an old trucker pulling 18 to 42 wheel rigs and also an oversize load escort. Very impressed!
Thanks Lee! 😎
Serious professionalism here.. nice to see how he broke it down for everyone involved..
These guys are amazing I give them much much more respect than I did in the past didn't realize how much math and physics and everything goes into actually pulling and towing vehicles you guys are awesome.
Thanks Matt!
Rotator is nothing but a crook. He was not needed at all and I must believe he knew he wasn't needed but just outright ripped the owner and the insurance company off for the Lord only knows how much and is arrogant enough to post this for all to see with no shame whatsoever. 😡

a very geat and amazing engineer indeed hun
how are you doing
Great job. Old Sarge rigged with a 5 to one would have generated 225,000 with a good anchor. In my case I was the only recovery available for a heavy pull. My anchor was an M60. Short pulls and a lot of work. Keep up the excellent job and videos! Greetings from Germany, nice to be retired!
Delicate work is wonderful for a huge machine!!
That's a great crew. I've never hauled anything like that in the 25 years I was on the road... and after seeing this I'm glad I didn't. At least this wasn't the driver's fault. Lucky him.
awesome video of skilled workers,who know what they are doing!thought it was awesome when you said,dont let me forget i have chips and sandwiches for everyone. easy to see you take care of your workers.that goes,a long way.if i had to guess,i would bet most of your guys have been with you,for a good amount of time.easy to see why.
Yep
I didn’t catch that part, but the provision of Gatorade was enough for me. Way to take care of your crew!
Awesome recovery guys. I'm in heavy haul, moving the exact same equipment. A failed booster cylinder is more common than ppl think. One of my guys was in the same situation a few months back. Unfortunately they couldn't get him pulled out rolling, so a couple 80T rotators later, off came the scraper. Again Kudos on the great job fellas. 👏
Darned dangerous. Is it from lack of maintenance or what? I hadn't heard of that issue before.
How much would all those tow trucks cost?
unreal. thats some crazy weight
I know nothing about the design of the booster cylinder and the system, but it seems that if failures are common and results can be catastrophic, that some sort of redundancy could be built in.
If scrapper was running order,why not just use it
Snatch blocks, chains and brains 🧠 💪💪
This camera man standing in the middle of all of those stressed cables like a boss reminds me of the movie, "We Were Soldiers" brave real-life hero Hal Moore that stood up the entire time as bullets barely missed him many times!

Right on Hal...Dustin and the crew did an awesome job for sure. Thanks for commenting!
I wonder how many heavy-duty recovery businesses in the country have the equipment to even think about doing it.
ole Sarg is doing well nice team work all around.
There go the total profits earned on that load! Damn......
how much you think a bill like that would be?
THIS IS WHY THEY (STILL) CALL HIM SUPERMAN!!
😏
On the edge of my chair..., A terrific job considering the size and weight. WOW, I had to send this to 10 of my friends. They have got to see this operation.
As a trucker myself…. Thankfully I’ve never needed a wrecker service “knock on wood” but I can truly appreciate the hard work and effort you guys put in to keeping these big trucks moving when needed!! Great teamwork! I can’t help but be curious about that bill……35-45k???
I’m guessing its atleast 10K per towtruck and then the asfalt repairs. Wouldn’t be surprised if the number has six figures
@@yrtracingteam106 I was figurin' it would probably be into the six figure territory too. There were a lot of trucks and people plus the time that all of that was tied up must have been the whole day...there was six hours of travel time to get there and back. Glad it's not my bill heh, heh.
is it too late to start a go fund me acct.🤔????🤔
Yeah..well it 'pays' off in da long aye.. kaapai ano

Great job guys very well done !! God Bless
Wow, no yelling,no broken cables, Good team,good equipment. also some nice weather. Thanks for the video.
Damnnnn, this towing company is playing with multi millions dollars worth toys! “Tow trucks”
That booster cannot possibly force the rear of that trailer over like that going forward. Especially loaded. That happened if reverse. The hydraulics are in float when going forward and cannot possibly effect the steering. They (hydraulic system) are there for "bump steer" when backing AND ARE ONLY TO BE USED WHEN UNLADEN! They will fail if loaded heavy and will not steer the rear of the trailer. My guess is that driver misjudged the apex of that curve and got the trailer axles into the ditch panicked and stopped. He then tried to use the steering to back up and reposition for the turn. Hydraulics failed as they are not designed to do that loaded. The more he screwed with it the worse it got.
Sorry, but that is the truth. I have pulled those trailers and real steerable trailers for 25 years. I have seen all types of failures. THAT trailer will not go out of control when moving forward unless there is catastrophic failure of the walking beam or suspension guides. The only type trailer that will go sideways during a steering mechanism failure is a tillerman style trailer which is automatically self steering.
So unless there is mechanical failure of the suspension on the trailer axles, that is driver error.
I will say you guys did an excellent job on a really difficult recovery. Well done.
Thanks for the explanation. I'm in Australia and looking at the terrain there, might say the tractor is inadequate. Tri drive
Alot of ways of saying "I missed a gear and it rolled back on me"
@@delbutler885 yep just look how that booster is jackknifed, she rolled back alright. Lucky escape I'd say.
Maybe was going slow cause of the sharp turn. To make the turn he would have to take it wide, but at that time a vehicle was there. He slowed more had to cut the turn making the trailer hit the gravel off the road, slowing more. So slow he doesn't have the power to go up the hill. He rolls backwards then parks
I knew if I scrolled down here far enough I would get the right answer. Once the stinger drops off the road, speed and momentum are your only friends (won't help every time) and he clearly didn't have either in this case. My guess is his employer will come to the same conclusion Mr. riggin did........
Outstanding recovery. Great to see the logistics and math all come together. Wow what a massive amount of weight to get moving.
thats one big mother of a load to have shifted respect to you boys from country repair and towing
I use to work at P&H mining, Milwaukee Wisconsin back in 1986 - 1992, we shipped electric shovels 63 cubic yard dippers, aka bucket, and they we shipped in the same configuration tractor low boy trailer set up shown in the video. The dipper fit onto a P&H 4100XPB Electric shovel. Beat engineering team I worked with. I see you guys had excellent team work, my hats off to you guys and great job.

This is the gnarliest thing I’ve seen on RUclips in ages! I definitely committed to the whole video! Absolutely incredible what is involved in recovering this piece of heavy equipment.
Solid effort, plus I gotta say how funny it is that timber serves a purpose in some way with such a huge amount of weight!

I'm glad the wall was there to protect both the driver and the load! I'd be concerned about going down the other side of this grade as well with that load! Great job everyone! Stay safe. Peace.
so i work on the 657e-g scrapper im a diesel mechanic that big ol chunk of metal is called the stinger, if one of those tires explode its fatal to anyone within 20ft so much as when it comes to get new tire or tires they change to one under the cab because if it blows it can kill the driver in the cab. in order to put it on that transport trailer you have to take the edges off and lower the apron just so it can fit under the regulations without special permits. just some cool facts. also the hyd tank on the tractor right rear holds 79gallons for all the implements :)
That was ONE HEAVY ASS PULL!!! great job of engineers!!
a very great one indeed
how are you doing hun
Nice job guys, having been around this kind of environment this is truly a lot more involved than it looks, so many different situations and such a great potential for something to go wrong. The man on the rotator is the one who really has to see past everything and compare it to his vision. True form of art as it takes great skill often mentored from another and somewhere along the way everybody learns a lesson or 2 on what wont work. I worked as a mechanic a no of years for a heavy hauler based out of Elko MN G&T trucking in the mid 90s and they hauled the big stuff out of the mines up in northern MN and any west bound machinery that went up in the mountains they sent along a pusher to help it along. Man what a investment in equipment and a great video, look forward to more, be safe fellas and God bless
I used to [just] run pilot for such loads. Sometimes, my jaws would ache for days from the clenching. It is definitely an adventure. Infinite respect for the drivers!
I was impressed by the briefing before the tow and that everyone was included, you rarely see this in other recoveries. 😁🛫
I've watched many rotators on Netflix and RUclips do their thing and am seriously impressed! I was able to see a 75-ton rotator in person in a city near me and I was like a kid who was getting an autograph from a famous celebrity! I know there aren't that many (probably less than a 1000) out in the world!
