Long haul towing in a rollback tow truck!

- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2021
- I started off by going to Brothers Oregon to pick up a brand new Ram 1500 Eco-Diesel with DPF filter problems, then took it to a shop in Redmond. After that I tried heading home, but a phone call turned me around and had me go up north to Maupin Oregon to get a Volvo XC90 with electrical problems and take it back to Sisters Oregon.

Love your videos! You make everything look so easy and smooth, even though I know that is a lot of work!😎🏆 Keep up the great work and stay safe out there!❤️🙏
I took the dish soap trick to a whole new level. I bought a 1 gallon pump up sprayer filled it with water then put a quarter bottle of dawn in it now when I need a car to slide it's as fast as a quick spray. Works dang perfect 2ew‼️ ya 🤘
I like the Dish soap trick.
Grumpy is the man!
I like your fast forward videos a lot better than just shutting off the camera until you get to your next stop much more enjoyable you get to see everything keep up the good work really thank you
No rails looks so clean 💪💪💪
One time we are on the slide watching you and the next we are by the g-can. Just don’t forget to take us with you when you are done.
The clamps for the straps is the smartest lazy way to keep straps from being loose and still looks professional when driving 😂 I’m going to have to steal that
It’s so funny that you carry us around and talk to us. I began to chuckle too much. It’s just an entertaining point of view to me. Don’t stop doing this. I like it. Like we are a big eyeball. 😆Good video by the way.
You GO Grumpy. Show Casey how hard workers do it!!!
We always used Dawn dish soap on our beds (aluminum) washes right off, and degreased the bed after we towed bleeders.
Same thing I've always used on my big rigs
@@CaseyLaDelle using dish soap on fifth wheel sliders is an old school trick that's been around for more years than Casey has been around🤣🤣 I've done it since i started driving, over 30 years ago.
@@timothygeiger8271 never said I came up with it, just said it's what I do
@@CaseyLaDelle i know that, i was simply saying it's an old school trick that's been around for several years.
Not your problem, I like that one.
81 yr old EX Truck Driver ran over the road for over 25 yrs Ft.Wayne In to all Points West blanket wrap Trailer had 30 STTRAPS 20 Sheets OF 8X4 FT Plywood statred Driving at 18 got Chauffeur License Ps love Your Videos and all that You are into Retired at 65
Well, that certainly turned out to be a full days work! LOL!! I always dread the "easy" jobs because you KNOW it's going to go sideways at some point! 😄
Do what you love and get paid for it,what could be better than that.Post on
Even though I prefer mountain rescue videos of your's, this made me think of why I like your content: it has a scheme but there is always a difference and variation. It it was all "put the winch on with two snatch blocks and pull" it would get very boring quickly.
I also like to lean things I never have needed and never probably do. I did not know there were such sliding block to put under the tires. Now I do and that someone makes them seems quite obvious for you line of work. (and the dish soap! I wondered how you'll get the car off but it was just that easy!)
I remember the U-Haul trailer with the door roller popped cable on one side. You fixed it and re-tensioned the spring.
Now the Volvo went well and was a nice add on after the truck.
Much enjoyed! Thank you for the day of you working 😉
Great job Casey!!!!! Thanks for sharing.☺️☺️☺️👍👍👍👍
Neat that you drove the heart of Central Oregon :)
Excellent video. Really enjoyed it. Lots of great information
Looks like the new Loves in Madras is finally open!
Yeah it's been open for awhile now. They built it quick
That sounded like the wisest approach: making it the shops and the owner's problem! :-D
A gas station names "loves"? Who comes up with a name for fuel stations like that?
Those skids are neat tools for the job: didn't know those existed: Learned something new! :-)
Thank you for the Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion for us Non-U.S. viewers!
Well things are starting out good. You can maneuver your truck w/o worrying about traffic.
Your second trip/pickup location has more variety as far as landscapes go. I too prefer the country scenes versus the mind numbing drive along the interstates. The one exception is the drive to my sister's house in Black Mountain NC.
Glad there is not smell-vision. Since our view is adjacent to the garbage can!😏😏.
Excellent job on the tight squeeze parking!
Garbage, then Casey put us in the hot truck. 😂
no due looking over the bluff into Maupin this time. Man the smoke is bad everywhere. We got some Friday and it's been here ever since. Only upside it held the temperature down a little. Awesome video! Keep em coming Casey!
Those skates are kind of cool. I did towing 20 yrs ago. All we used was WD 40 or dish soap and shook the crap out of them to get it off.
The skates are a slick solution. Just a small correction, that's an Volvo XC70 (not Xc90). I'd love to know what failed but I'm guessing the fuseable link at the battery connection. I saw one this summer, the fuse was good but the plastic cracked and no connection.
I'm sitting here watching and thinking about telling you to use dish soap to help it slide and then you mention it. LMAO
Cool mustang beside the vovlo at the end!
Wouldn't surprise me if some of the smoke your getting there in Oregon isn't coming from Washington State and British Columbia too, we've got some wicked forest fires up here in BC too.
Two nice hooks and the videography is getting better. Liked the way you had the composition when you were at rest stop with the Dodge. Had a rock with some wildflowers that framed the truck nicely. Thanks again for the tour. Now back to enjoying my own smoke here in Southern Oregon. 👍😵💫
casey great job'
I had a deck like yours I wish I still had it.
Heard you talk about the "Skates", nice to see them in use.
😂 sweating your Bag Off 😂😂
I’m sorry I watched a lot of you videos forgot to like .Help us remember tell us to like them.
Its called Loves because the Love family owns them obviously. There are hundreds of them! Todd the retired trucker.
Self-Adhesive Protective Carpet Film from a hardware store can cover / seal the open windows. Its like big Scotch tape. Rolls are cheap, about two feet wide, clear, will not leave a residue on the car and will last for a few months even with weather.
Two gas station visits!!! Makes up for the last vid without one. lol.. looks like ya had a busy day. Oh and Grumpy, don't work so hard in the heat!!
Grumpy what are you thinking you're nuts LOL 105 out give the gate a rest then again you can do whatever you want you've earned it. By the way a birdie told me to say this
Great video and your theory worked like a dream x
Great Recovery 👍
This is where a wheel lift and dolly would be gooder
You looked obviously tired at the end of that day. Hope you've recovered by now.
It was a long and got day
Really nice trips...for us, Thanks.
Anyone else notice the yellow strips going away from the truck that was cool
dear casey i have seen ( soap stone Chocks ) will slide use for the same thing for triple A tow service i did for about 5 years along with United tow service as well napa ca calif don kunkel
Great job.
Well done! Glad to know who to call when I'm working in the area!
I like the music in your video. 🥳
It would be nice, as a follow up, to know what was wrong with the Volvo, and who fixed the truck. I know your responsibilities are over with the drop off, but still curious 🤨
You could get a small roll of polyethylene to wrap over each door to provide protection from rain and dust. Would be a nice service.
thats one raggedy rusty truck
So buy me a new one 🤷🏼♂️
I like Maupin.
Brother we can’t complain cuz in Winter We Say It’s Too Cold and in Summer We Say Ohh Too Hot so we gotta Deal With It
A bottle of soapy water would make that slide a lot better on the bed that"s what I used back in the day
Men where Men when Grumpy was borne lol
Excellent!
you need some degreaser to spray on the bed when loading and offloading vehicles that dont roll.
NIce job. Next time use the override and only the rear wheels will stay stuck.
That trash can stunk if you had time to remove your bed have someone powdercoat it red it lasts a long time and makes a slick surface even on diamond plate I use to build Bradfordbuilt beds they are an amazing bed for anyone looking for a flatbed or bale bed even contractors bed pretty much discuss what you want and Brad will customize a bed for your needs he's had several on SEMA builds the past few years and I'm sure there's a dealer near you he's got dealers everywhere he can even custom color match your truck
Casey, message is for you. Lol if he can do that…..let him alone….he will live a lot longer.
Another truck to haul.
Nice to know about-face youcan do dishes and unload at same time
If you put a jump box on a Volvo then you can get the key back out batteries probably dead
Bedankt
Casey since you had the mobile repair business, when you get out to calls like this do you attempt to fix any vehicles of its something you've dealt with before or is a common issue with whatever vehicle? Or just hook and book? Do you think this Volvo had a power or ground issue since you said it had zero power when you hooked jump pack up? Just curious your approach since you have so much knowledge and experience in so many different fields with dealing with automotive, or fabricating. The rollback seems to be a great addition to your company and has been getting quite the workout lately. How are you liking it now that you've had it awhile and several uses with it? I'm still waiting on machine shop to get my 5.9 done. I don't know if someone is bs'ing me with it, it's been there several months now. I'm debating on finding another good running chassis and putting my bed on it, because this is getting ridiculous two of my trucks are at two different mechanic shops and both have been there since February for my 05 F450 that has no compression on cylinder 3,waiting on head to come off to find out if it's a valve or piston issue. And my 05 F650 rollback has now been sitting since I think it was March when I took it to the shop it's at. These guys are killing me, it's so hard to find a mechanic around here that starts your job and knocks it right out.
Oh I definitely fix them if I can. I would much rather fix them than tow them. The Dodge is brand new and when into derate mode for DPF issues, so nothing I could do there. I didn't even look into what the problem was in the Volvo other than hooking my jump pack to it to see if I could release the brake and roll up the windows. The customer was already gone and hours away, so even if it was a simple fix, I would have still had to tow it
Is the other problem with using grease on your 5th wheel slide is a gathers dirt And could ruin things, I always had a squirt bottle With 5050 dish soap& water To spray on the tracks for my Tandems
I've never used skates, they look consumable. How many times do you buy new ones?
Do u have any issues with the ratchet straps sun rotting from being on the bed exposed?
😎👍
Thats cool I didn't know you were in Oregon do you ever come threw klamath falls
Do you need a cdl to drive a rollback? Would you need one to drive a rollback with a car and the bed and one on a lift if your truck had one?
One of our roll backs has an eye at the rear of the body to winch stuff off backways 👌 edit: could you do a video on the cluster hooks and hook on points on a bmw or such. We cant get them here
I could put one of my snatch blocks at the end of the bed, but it still won't pull the car completely off
@@CaseyLaDelle we put a snatch block on the eye, pull the winch rope back up underneath the car, put the soft winch brothers or J hooks on backways and pull until the back wheels hit the tarmac 👍
P.S. I for one "Do Like" the drumbeat music you have us listen to while the video is on fast forward.
Just felt like mentioning that point....FYI'wise.
Oh, and ya...L love how you hooked up the tie-down chains with the straps on the first job.
Grumpy 100°+...hope he wasn't up there long!
I have 2 car trailers with a winch stinger and I always leave the winch tight as an extra safety in case something happens.. just me though.. I'm healthily paranoid!!!
If you're strapping down by the wheels and leaving the winch tight, you are constantly shock loading your winch, cable, and whatever you're hooked to on the car. Always slack the winch.
Diesel fuel...... people fuel......🤣
It seems like you've been in that rest stop a couple of times on this channel
Steal her 1/2 full bottle and get her a new one she will be happy you did.
You're problem solver. I like it.
@@CaseyLaDelle and the 1/2 bottle has room for a water too... 😆
👍
5:50 what do you do with the keys when you leave it there for the shops??
Just left in the ignition?
Put them in the drop box
I'm curious: How do repair shops move cars like this that don't run or even roll freely into the shop? Do they have their own towtrucks?
Different shops use different methods, some disconnect driveshafts or jump electrical systems, some use forklifts with wheel lift attachments, and some just drag them with a chain.
There's a tool for that, it's called a wheel dolly.
Go go jacks
How many skit you go through a year ??
Yo Grumpy hour nuts its way to hot out to be hand sanding a gate.
Don't slap the airbrake valve.. Unless you want to replace it before it's time..
It'll be fine
@@CaseyLaDelle That's what one of my drivers used to say, until he broke it out of the dash 4 weeks in a row, and I told him next time the repair comes out of his check.
When the skates get close to the bed if it's an un even surface and I know the skate won't go up I usually have 2 extra skates and I hit it infront of the other skate and it slides right up. Might be used for you
@@joshuadunn7403 that's one of those super simple things that I never even thought of. Thank you!
Normal site for a dodge pickup. 90 percent of the time it’s the garbage transmission
also i thought in Oregon gas isn't self serve or is it different at truck stops?
Commercial fueling stations are self serve
Where's the tandem blue international. ??
In my driveway
😀👍❤️
Casey said
i see you have one of those neck cooling things in you best estimate are they worth the money?
It's a Bluetooth
Break time get a popsicle right now it is to hot to be outside at 100 degrees
What is your philosophy about PPE?
Did you pump your own or do you still have folks doing it for you?
Pump my own
You left us in the hot truck?
you should never leave a car open like that. you should have a storage yard then drop it off the next morning
😃👉⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😎👉💯👍hello from México
Paint that bed from the rust
If it requires the roll back and it's a customer call you charge
There is no vehicle that requires a rollback
@Casey LaDelle like in this case you used it
Jackie JEFFREY
I would have used dollies
