Q:What camera do you use?
A: I use the Go Pro Hero 7 Black Edition primarily. Often times you will see auxillary cameras in use. Those cameras include The Go Pro Hero 6, Hero, and DJI Mavic Pro Platinum
Q: How big Is your rotator?
A: It is a 50 ton Miller Industries Vulcan 950
Q: Does the carriage slide back like Ron Pratt's?
A: No, the carriage doesn't slide back due to strict weight laws in California. The sliding carriage will make the truck to heavy in CA
Q: Why do you only have 3 winches on the rotator?
A: Comes down to weight again as stated above
Q: How many trucks Does Plaza Towing have?
A: Currently more than 30
Q: Why must the driveshaft be removed to tow a vehicle?
A: When vehicles are not running the transmission is not receiving circulating lubricant. If the driveshaft is left installed, the transmission, which is not receiving lubricant, is still spinning. This allows it to get very hot which eventually will cause major damage to the transmission. Therefore, removing the driveshaft completely eliminates the transmission from spinning. Simply leaving it in neutral is not sufficient since the transmission still spins in neutral.

Appreciate that the driver was offering advice and info not to mention a walk around on the trailer. Always good!
I second that. Sometimes when you get someone who has been doing this kind of things they can be a prima donna. He never let his ego show, just his knowledge and experience .
Slow and steady wins the race again.. It never ceases to amaze me just how much brute force drivetrains have to pull/push. The last cam shot showing from the rear how long that train was...WOW!!! Definitely one for the books Trent...beautifully done...and the trucks driver was super helpful too. Stay safe out there guys:-)
That was amazing, had me on the edge of my seat when you stopped going up that hill and had to start again, i know what 80,000 pounds feels like but 280,000? Wow
Yep, ~3.5x bigger than normal! 😮
@@noahater5785 Australian road trains pull over 200,000 pounds everyday on our roads.
a video on youtube of Australian roadtrain pulling 170 tonnes up a hill.. 380,000 pounds at 14 km/h at 55 pounds of boost on turbo and he never stalls it lol.
Probably 4 trailers behind him also.
I was thinking the same. I max out daily every load at 60000kg (132000lb) gross of powdered cement here n Canada and it's extremely heavy. This is a whole nother level.
@@MistaRoyanT Yea was another video i passed on youtube just a day ago was a 1100HP Australian roadtrain pulling 100 tonnes up a hill.
People don't respect truck drivers enough. we need them more then people credit them for.
Another one to show your grand-kids with pride.
Nicely done Trent.
The driver seemed like he was a super cool dude! Neat to watch. Thanks for the video!
Congratulations Trent you definitely hold the record for the heaviest tow of any RUclipsr!!!
Want an EVEN BIGGER LOAD?
Call Stacey Abrams.
Go check Australian trucks , they pull heavier loads than that, all day everyday ..🤣🤣
@@stevecannard5996 Yep sometimes with 5 trailers and over 240 ton
Mr Trent That was one awesome tow. Thanks for sharing and stay safe
I wonder if Josh from Pepe's could have pulled this off as smoothly as you did with a smaller truck no less. Good job Trent. One thing for sure is that road is so desolate it's not some place you want to break on. What was also nice was the driver interaction with you. 240K pounds is not like towing a Toyota. LOL.
Now that was a different kind of tow for your company! Good job Trent!
Bet that was an *EXPENSIVE* tow bill 😆. Good job dude.
Great job guys! Very informative video and great trucker stories too!
Trent ! Look how far you have come in the last few years I've been following you. Hopefully you are very proud of the accomplishments you have made for yourself. I'm surely proud and I'm sure your family is as well. Keep up the good work young man. Your making a great example of what a true hard honest working American is all about.
Thanks for the badass video like you said it's once in a lifetime so thanks for taken us along and stay safe
You guys do an AWSOME job, THANK YOU for bringing us along, much APPRECIATED …
I ran a big rig wrecker in the 80's, this is exciting, it's NICE to have the driver ride with you that you can question and learn about specialized equipment, that makes it fun !! you did a great job !! 😃😃
Cool tow and great video Trent. One of the first of your tow videos I watched was a heavy uphill haul.
Great video brother also the driver was very helpful with the explanation of things and how to get it down the road safely. Both of you guys in the cab was a class act.
Trent thanks for the interesting video great information always you did a great job towing that oversize load
You and ron pratt are awesome examples of professionalism and expertise in your fields. Keep it up. Great work
Yes, I also enjoyed this video. Thanks for showing it.
Make up your mind! LOL Is it 280K, 240K, or 210K? I'm 30 seconds in and have seen/heard all three numbers!
That's was Massive! Congratulations on your biggest tow! Always great Video's!
Interesting video Trent. I really enjoyed the walk around and the driver's explanations!
Daaaaang that's a big job! I like the crew resource management here on this too, glad the driver was helpful too!
Wow, very interesting job there. Be a long way to Houston on the back roads. Fantastic team work and coordination. True Professional!! Thanks for shariung
That was a challenging tow. Good job Trent.
Plaza Towing to the Heavy Haul rescue, very impressive thx for an informative and entertaining video Jr.
Nice video, again ,Trent. Keep it on, thanks!
When other tow companies say no lol
thank you so much for the video please post more videos a week and God bless
Strong work Trent and Mark!
HOLY SHIT JR!!! One HELL of a tow- Very impressive- There is nothing you can't do kiddo- You guys stay safe!
Seeing is believing, a nice steady pull. Looked like you where approaching your working limit, but it was still smooth. 👏👏👏
The immense power that engine has to produce to haul of this is just mind blowing. When the human body can’t even haul not even 0.5% of what the truck is towing especially in that heat
Love all your videos man! Keep the content rolling!
That was cool! This old lady learned a few things.
Wow! Many challenges to overcome. Well done!
Awesome job, and very informative.
Awesome video!!! That was intense!!!!!!!👍👍👍
What a cool and exciting job to work!
That was awesome, good job!!!
Yeah, awesome!! That was some Heavy Haulin' 🤩
Wow, that is a massive driveshaft! 😮Looks like you're going to need to upsize your driveshaft removal tool!
Have seen TenWest the cranes they tow.
Awesome job plaza
Glorious road train, its amazing how strong those trucks are.
that was different! keep the clips coming
Great job Trent hell of a tow
Much respect to you, sir.
Great video You made it look like you done this before you did a good job
Great job I know you enjoyed that, I pulled a 13 axle thank God I never had to call a wrecker in 20 + years so you made your quota for the week now you can rest easy!!! Lol 🤣🤣
This was an interesting tow. After you got it to where it needed to be you were learning something about the trailer and that's a good oppratiator & you were listening to the driver for tips on how best to tow it. That's ALWAYS GOOD.
thats legit sweet! i enjoyed it!!
Great job young man.
Another great video bro! Good job
Cool to the this heavy haul. Next time I see one of the heavy haul super trailers on the highway I will better appreciate the skill it takes to drive it. Thanks for the video.
Trent you screwed up and forgot to put a go pro on the out side that would have been one hell of a view. Thanks for bringing us along
Driving a long truck that weighs that much definitely takes a lot of experience vs towing a standard semi. Good job utilizing his expertise to ensure a successful tow.
Wow. Great job!
Awesome job young man !.
Wow...Congrats great job.
Great job Trent. The driver was cool too.
That was Awesome.
You did an awesome job 😎😎
Nice Titan by Mack - this model offered in the US was based very loosely on an Australian model of the same name. The Titan that is built in Australia is a heavy haulage/road train spec prime mover (tractor unit)
Good Job, & That Was Cool 👍👍👍👍👍
HFS Trent. Awesome vid!
Hello Trent, old guy tip for ya,
when i have something that heavy, i set the brakes on the trailer, double check that their set : ) , and release the brakes on my tow truck. : ) then adjust the under reach. much easier to move 70,000 than 200,000+ : )
and as always, nice work young man
Wow that was epic.
lol this reminds me of my "david vs. goliath' video.. It was a tiny little lifter tow truck, pulling a huge container truck. On flat roads thankfully!
Your load was incredibly long though. Especially considering the length of your own truck.
It's a good thing you have your escorts.
Awesome machines.
Well done ! 🤠🤘🏼☀️☀️
That was the heaviest load that I have ever heard of. Very nicely done.
Yep, that's one massive behemoth of a helium compressor!
have a look for ALE on the tube UK heavy haul. one CAT3 at the front two CAT3 at the back top speed walking pace
Not even close Roy!
Awesome!!!
Great video Trent - would it be better to have the trailer brakes set and the truck released when you extended the underreach before pulling into the lot? i.e. push your "light" truck forward vs the "heavy" towed unit rearward?
Now that you mention it, yes! Good observation
Awesome video Trent ..
I'm impressed that Darl's truck easily handled that much weight . I would however though have your mechanic check over the tow truck . Lugging that truck up that hill and almost stalling out is very hard on the drivetrain
Their mechanic was with him the whole time lol 😂
Australian trucks pull 3 to 6 trailers daily with over 200,000 pounds. over rough dirt tracks and mud flooded roads.
Nothing special about this load at all.
@@nedkelly9688 the trucks sold in Australia are built to haul that. Not every truck in the US is built and spec’d out for 280,000. Most wrecker drivers don’t ever have to haul weight like that.
@@jessesylvester1019 Yea true.. it is good and it's not easy pulling any heavy load.
People get used to doing something.
Remember my mate who went from single trailers to B Double Road trains. took a bit but got like a pro at moving them around.
Just through busy traffic turning corners and roundabouts lol.
@@jessesylvester1019 Ithink it was mainly the title of first on youtube.. but is many way over this. so is misleading actually.
There's some videos floating around of a 225 tonne (500,000lbs) oxygen tank being towed in the UK
Cool Video Trent
I'm thinking, I hope he took some pictures to remember this proud moment......then realizing I'm watching the dang video you took and edited. LOL. I'm an idiot.
You have the right attitude and truck common sense to listen, learn, and own up to you mistakes and learn from them. (the lesson on the hill). Yeah, it's surprising how fast the momentum goes away when you're off the throttle.
Good job Sir. Be safe!
Good job man.
That mechanic needs a raise. He’s a hustler for sure. Get him a license. See where I’m going with this.
He is one of most valuable assets! He drove truck with my grandpa back in the day and will help when needed but really prefers to be a mechanic
@@plazatowing I’ve seen that type of guy and understand. Well done.
Getting the job done right everytime.
Job well done but there was definitely a pucker factor to that one and I think you know what I mean!
VERY INTERSTING !!!!!!!!
That is what I call heavy 😂
They just don't let any driver run heavy haul... he knows his shit.
Nice job kid.
nice job keep it up
That is quite a load, by any measure!
I was wondering how the tractor front axle copes with all that load pulling on it, instead of the drive bogie pushing under the tractor chassis. It did, of course, but I guess the truck designers must take it into account so as not to pull the axle off the chassis in a recovery.
Great video!
I've hears of tow drivers when pulling a super load like this will run chains from the under reach bar back to the casualty frame to help take some of the pull force off of the casualty steer axle. But like Ron Pratt says 6+4 or 2+8, it all gets done in the end.
@@CMWally I think the original saying was something along the lines of "There are many ways to get to 10, as long as it can be done safely"
Really impressive
Your the best
240K? Come on! Childs play! At your age I was hauling 240,002 lbs! Jk HOLY CRAP! What a haul!!!
That’s sick I’m 19 just got my CDL hoping to make my career big one day
cool tow
A1 tow.
When I was in jr high , the weight limit in ny was 73280.
Local sand and gravel trucks hauled about 18 inches over the sideboards on 40 ft steel dump trailers.
A neighbor owned a tire company, the sand and gravel companies were his best customers, sold them lots of tires, brakes,drums and springs. A loaded sand trailer grossed out at 325000 with wet sand.
I asked him how they got away with running 325000, when the max was 73280.
He pulled out a magazine published by the county PBA magazine ( POLICE MENS BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION ) . All the local sand and gravel companies and anyone else who ran way overweight took out huge half or full page ads, to the tune if $5k per month minimum. As long as they took out the ads they didnt get scaled. One of his customers skipped the ad one month and almost went broke with overweight tickets. Never made that mistake again.
The majority of the sand and gravel companies,trash and heavy haulers were mafia
run . . JUST SAYIN
I haven't pulled super loads but was heavy in a standard dry van up a 9% grade in WV you gotta plan to drop 2 gears instead of one because of the speed loss but I bet that super load put some hair on your chest lol!
Awesome
Like very much so cool 😊
Does that truck have more power then the rotator?
🔥🔥🔥
Trent where did you purchase your work boots (the pair with the knob that tightens)? Thank you!
You are an amazing young man! Your father has to be very proud of you! I wish I could clone Mark!
