I've been watching 'Highway Thru Hell' for several years. It's always a pleasure watching Al and his crew and their often difficult recoveries. The man is talented and I dare say the best in BC. Everyone reading this, have a nice Christmas.
I wrenched on a fleet of wreckers many moons ago. Al is in a class by himself, almost. Better by far than any I've seen. Probably a handfull of others equal to him.
Nobody teaches anybody anymore, that's the real problem. It takes time and effort to do that, like months to years. There are heavy equipment schools but they teach you the controls, not what to do when you're off flat ground or shit starts hitting the fan (I'm not knocking knowing the controls though, being able to run both levers and both pedals independently is super important). It's just a symptom of all the problems in blue collar industries and it shows where they're going. Mining, and oil & gas, you're in if you have all the pieces of paper and can pass a stupid test ("What's the best bucket angle for digging?" "What is the ideal amount of swing angle?" Whatever works best in the moment, chucklefucks, nobody is tracking back and forth 4' to get the optimal bucket angle). Construction companies are owned by guys who've never swung a hammer. Same scenario for a lot of plumbing and electrical outfits. All that matters is you always wear that almighty safety vest and kiss as much ass as possible. We're all fucked, boys
You're right. Paperwork ok, BUT No apprenticeship anymore. That makes a real big difference in knowing how to do the job without killing yourself. Same for building, how much of the stuff is prefab today?
Al quiring is going fishing for your own toys and its not to bad if you need his caterpillar dozers he have at least two in his own toy box that can always use

The fact that you got "The Man" to shout out your channel is pretty sweet. Keep on keeping man ✌️
So awesome to see Quiring hard at it, best part of highway through hell is the Quiring team getting it done..

The Green Goblin to the rescue!
Definitely not a good way to park an excavator! Always nice to see Als expert work 👍
Thanks for the video Skadill!!
No rotator required!
Just skill, talent and experience!
And he is one of the off highway recovery experts for that business
Al should have his own show or own RUclips channel.
Al I think your one of the best tow truck operators in BC
I was hoping for their D9, and not some of your equipment. Glad no one was hurt!
How did the operator get out of that cab?...kudos on the guarding fabricators..
Best heavy rescue guy
Nice to see a recovery without all the dumb electric over hydraulic boom noises.
The best tag team since the road warriors animal and hawk. Al and gord. Luv them. Go quiering.
Experience speaks for its self great video 👍👍

I want to have a beer with Al 🤘😆
Al Quiring ….Great Man in a storm
Yikes, buddy's lucky he didn't flop into a car or have one careen into it. Always a struggle having other people run your gear.
The man the myth the legend.....neat vid
How come they stopped posting videos on RUclips ??????
Was there alot of damage? Have you repaired the Excavator since this video. And any video or pics of the repair? Thanks for your videos.
Whoa....hope the operator is OK. And I hope the Kobelco gets running again too. They should be careful of those steep hillsides.
Well that one didn't take a 7280 grapple yarder and a 7230 loader to get it back on the road, lucky.
Awesome job
Good video brother

You keep the hwy's safe
Wish you could interview the green goblin
Sorry this happened to you bud. But at least you got a cool shout out. It made for some good, "so you want to be a logger?" Content.
I Videod Quiring ten years ago here ruclips.net/video/2mc6lFdC6fs/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/pCKuxp44y8A/видео.html
Been there done that ouch
No smiles from the operator?
Sorry
I guess triple bars grousers and zero ass are not the best specs in yer terrain... SORRY to see man... Hope she gets attention and continues to serve!
THAT sucks.(:
Bad day, but it could have been worse.
Knock on wood, ive never flipped one over, if close counted, it would be several times, just sayin.
