81 likes and not one of them watched the previous videos. Tow truck drivers don't label them just in case it falls off and bounces through someone's windscreen. No liability! Harsh but true.
To be fair, I don't recall hearing Casey say he's not good at heavy towing. He always says it when he's out in the snowy/muddy off-road recoveries. I may have missed one though.
@@ccosby He would never say he is great at it ... nor say that he is rotten at it .. Attack Casey's ways of doing it and watch the comments come flying defending him!
2:37 - "It will be the wrong way for the next job" - I had a professor that called this the 50-50-90 rule. He said that anytime you had a 50/50 chance, 90% of the time you would make the wrong choice. Truer words were never spoken.
You're absolutely right about the color of the strobe lights. I clipped flashing red/blue leds to my dogs for walking down the road and people will slow right down to a crawl!
I like the "I know I don't know anything about towing, but I'm going to tell you how to do your job" people! They're priceless! You can't pay them enough! Oh, wait... 😊😊 I've watched hundreds of towing videos and you pretty much do it like everyone else! I'm glad your lightbar stayed this time.
Casey, you have the right attitude. Not only do you put it ALL (no edits to hide shit) out there for the armchair experts to piss and moan and smartass comment on, you respond to most of it (some of it is pointless to respond to) with a good sense of humor. We sure as hell don't see those nutsacks posting *their* videos of how they do things!
I've been towing for over 30 years. I use bungee straps on every tow. Yes I forgot my light bar a few times through the years but i just had to go back for it. Keep up the great work and videos.
Casey you definitely have a dangerous job since people choose not to be cautious by slowing down for your safety. Using those lights is a very smart idea. In my opinion the scariest part was when u had to get under the truck to tie up the drive shaft. You are an expert at what you do and have everything down pat like it is an automatic check list in your head of everything that needs to be done
it's to bad you are not allowed to put red and blue rotators on your truck when you are working along side the road. seems like a lot of people just dont get the slow down and move over. maybe the different colors would get there attention more like you mentioned with the roadside mini strobes you had @@CaseyLaDelle
I love to read the comments even before the video . I have some friends that are Tow Operators / Companies in Oregon. I am positive they watch you too !! CALL the rudes one out .. My Favorite part .. Makes me LOL at them. And then watch the video .. Ps.Patreon members here . We trust Casey in all he does ! F-U to the would of done it better Crew. .. but WE Thank you for watching and commenting , It so helps the channel.. in so many ways .. Thank you Haters ..
Cassy; You have probably already gotten this advice, but I drill out my bunjies and use carabiners for hooks. The can be used open or closed. Love the channel.
Saskatchewan,Canada, all tow and rescue vehicles have blue and yellow amber lights. All passing vehicles must slow to 60 km/hr(@ 37 m/ hr) or triple speeding fines. And they are large. Also passing any road work.
'Being an a-hole to a-holes...' Now THAT is an Olympic event I would WATCH! (Love watching your channel, about the only thing I know about towing is the 'waiting on the tow truck to come get me' part, so its both entertaining and informative to watch it from your POV. That, and you've got a great video presence....)
I appreciate that you have a systematic procedure for what you do and all the little things you take into account to make the job is done right th first. I also like that you take the extra time to put tools away the minute you're done using them, not leave them laying around.
Bungee cords like to do physically impossible things when you are not looking. I used a couple to tie a sheet of corrugated plastic to the mirrors for years, to keep ice off the windscreen. Some mornings I would find the sheet flipped around upside down, ice side frozen to the glass. I had no idea how that was possible, until one windy day I saw the sheet lift clear off the windscreen like a kite, hover two feet from it, flip around neatly, and sit back down. Even now I'm convinced the bungee cords don't even stretch that far, but it happened many times. Probably your light incident was also one of those "you couldn't make it happen if you tried" things.
i helped a friend tow for a little and he used to have a check list on his dash to make sure he remembered everything. super simple but saved him from forgetting anything. People don't understand the stress you are under while on the side of the road with cars flying past. Its a lot easier to forget things than people know.
Looks like you have become very busy. Glad to see it! For those who commented about your little wrecker, there is a lot of work for these smaller trucks. You don't need a 100 ton to get a lot of work. There is a a lot you can do with a 30 ton. Hope you continue to have great success.
@@CaseyLaDelle What?!!! Sweet!! That saves me the drive from SLC to home to help look for it! Awesome to hear that! Please elaborate in the next video or short. Most of us are pulling for you. :)
🤣 I worked for BellSouth telecommunications in Atlanta for 35 years .. I became a professional at being "an asshole to fellow assholes" 😎 and at 75 years breathing, I'm still really good at it ✌
I didn't have any negative thoughts when you hung that light bar with bungee cords as I've done it myself many times, but my first thought when it was gone wasn't that it fell off. My first thought was someone snagged it. Maybe it's being so close to Olympia, where they'll steal anything not bolted on (I've literally seen a guy steal a bag of trash out of a pickup in a parking lot). Either way, sucks it's gone, but no reason to bad mouth how you hung it, seen that done by so many people it's just stupid to call anyone on doing it. Keep it up and for what it's worth, there's nothing wrong with calling people out on acting like morons. 👍
I've been wondering why nobody mentioned the theft possibility. Seems a more likely scenario, assuming Casey stopped somewhere long enough for it to be lifted. Those are hung like that thousands of times a day across the continent and don't just fall off.
I 100% agree with your statement about flashing blue lights. I was a Paramedic for 27 years, and I always said that we should have at least 2 blue flashers on the front of our rigs. They didn't listen...
An emergency vehicle is just that. I'm not clear on why different agencies have different colors. I say toe trucks should be part of the pack. They have a job to do in a fast manner for everyones safety. If they are going to an accident and needed asap, red s or blues or reds and blue. Just to get a broke down car in a parking lot.. ambers
Casey, I know I've said it before and others say it often too but TY for showing how towing really should be done for us who do not do this for a living....your videos show us what is correct and what isnt.
Casey, you obviously know this, but please be careful. I towed years ago. Light duty stuff. Always scared the bejesus out of me on busy roads. People don’t slow or give any extra room. Stay safe!
Maybe you need a hand lettered "Speed trap ahead" sign to put down the road a bit to slow people down. That warning popped up on my car's GPS one day just west of Black Butte Ranch, It made me check my speed, even though I was OK
I noticed that when you put the passenger side ratchet strap to hold the axle down to your wrecker, that you didn't get a full wrap on your ratchet strap. They can come loose. Every ratchet strap needs at least 360 wrap over itself so it can bite down on the ratchet material. You got lile 2 clicks and it can slip on the ratchets winch. They do come loose the way that you've got it. It's something to always keep in mind when using any ratchet strap. Give it some slack before you start to click away. Love the videos and the new wrecker. Looks sick!
Just to clarify . What you are using are trap straps which I would get at a truck stop . Good choice . Bungie cords are the round colorful elastic cords . I enjoy the videos . Thanks 👍
@@George-dy3ptno, they can’t be bungee cords because they are made from a solid material as a strap, not from a number of cords grouped together inside a fabric cover. Most people would consider them the same thing but technically they are two different items.
So glad you're enjoying your new equipment Casey. In your down time, maybe you could deliver "Meals on Wheels" to all the whiners you have to deal with. Obviously either mommy has run dry, or she is too tired to run down to the basement to suckle her 40 year old son! You could deliver formula to all the "know it alls" living under the clicking of mommy's high heels a couple of feet above their heads! 😂
A lot of drivers have lost load hoses from tying them down with bungee cords. DOT made a law that everything you use tie your load down with needs a weight rating and yes it sucks because I use to use bungee cords
Using ratchet straps instead of chains on the lift is a good idea. It may not have the tensile strength of a chain but I think it'll help keep the truck more planted on the lift so yeah I like that way of the break away tie down.
I do heavy Recovery in a Scania R650 4 axels. When we are on the freeway i always have a Heavy TMA truck as a safty to people who works on the freeway. Good job Casey! :)
That is a good idea of the blue flashing light! We need to do similar here in British Columbia as what You said about people don't care is so true. I once came across a road sign that said..."Drive like Hell, You'll get there faster." That was a powerful message that most just ignore today. BC Has started a fine system if caught not slowing down for emergency vehicles, including tow Trucks, yet that's still ignored. Seems to Me that People these days have NO RESPECT anymore!
Casey....if anyone second guesses what your methodology is with regards to your work, I just gotta say this. I know NOTHING about heavy vehicle recovery, but you are writing a manual on how to do it here on your channel, and that's plain for the layman to see. You take care of your clients and their vehicles, and you take care of YOU in the process. Putting this all up on RUclips validates that what you do and how you do it is on point. Hell....I'm 63 years old, and I may sell my house and buy a rig like yours!!
Casey, once again a top job. I sympathise with you having to work roadside. I've been doing it for so long now, I know my odds are pretty bad. Flashy lights don't work. Folk are desensitised to them and high viz. Thank you for an excellent channel
I was on edge about oncoming traffic just watching this video. I worked for the city for a few years and being out in traffic was the worst part of the job. People just don't pay attention and they get mad because you're in their way.
Love your new tow truck plus your sarcasm and VERY efficient towing. Would having a short line on each wood block would prevent you from having tp cross over the other side for retrieval. Portable blue strobes are great idea and in MN, we have a "pull over" law when approaching emergency vehicles plus many people also do it for disabled vehicles.
Casey, I have told you before that I have never ran a tow truck before. But that I plan on running an off-road tow truck. I'm definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Hell if a zombie were to eat my brains it would probably starve to death. But I have towed cars off the highway. The most dangerous part for me has always been being on the side of the road.

Probably your light incident was also one of those "you couldn't make it happen if you tried" things.

I sympathise with you having to work roadside. I've been doing it for so long now, I know my odds are pretty bad.
Flashy lights don't work. Folk are desensitised to them and high viz.
Thank you for an excellent channel
Good job Casey 👍
Great job Casey, I always enjoy your videos.
How'd you know I have OCD? Enjoyed the video.
I was on edge about oncoming traffic just watching this video.
I worked for the city for a few years and being out in traffic was the worst part of the job. People just don't pay attention and they get mad because you're in their way.
Love your new tow truck plus your sarcasm and VERY efficient towing. Would having a short line on each wood block would prevent you from having tp cross over the other side for retrieval. Portable blue strobes are great idea and in MN, we have a "pull over" law when approaching emergency vehicles plus many people also do it for disabled vehicles.
Yes, that was a another good work!
OCD is fine if every thing is in the right place
Love watching you work! Awesome video! 😎 Stay safe out there❤️🙏
Great job....👍
Keeping busy with the new zacklift I see
It’s only had one day off so far
That is good to know about the blue strobe, never would have thought of that. Doing anything on the shoulder of an active highway is God damned scary.
"still got my lightbar" 😂😂😂😂 so many broken hearts in this world!!
Casey, I have told you before that I have never ran a tow truck before. But that I plan on running an off-road tow truck. I'm definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Hell if a zombie were to eat my brains it would probably starve to death. But I have towed cars off the highway. The most dangerous part for me has always been being on the side of the road.
The cross strap the bungees hung from made me uneasy. I did not predict failure.
I bet your wife has some wonderful stories to tell about your encounters with the A-holes.
Getting nice and quick! Great routine down too. Hopefully a nice smooth winter season for ya.
