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.

Don't fret about the SUPER HEAVY placard on the CONEX, as it just means the container is capable of transporting 67,500 pounds instead of the lower limit of 56,000 lbs.
Large screen TV's for the volume of space they take up are light.
I like the pre-work chat assessing the wreck and developing a plan.
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Good to see some truckies slowing down past the job 😊
I'm 50/50 on the fixed camera view. I like the head cam view because it really puts me into it like I was actually on scene and as a tow operator, I enjoy that. But I could see why that wouldn't be the ideal view for most. Thanks for sharing!
I really enjoyed hearing both of you two talking with the headsets on. Thanks. Kept us up on what was going on. ^5!
If I had to choose one, I will go with the long view. 80/20 would be good for me, long view most of the time and the helmet cam for the detail stuff.
I like both views! But like to see what all the head cam is doing too! Good job getting it back on the road and ready to tow it!
Thank you so much for bringing this video to me.
I looked at it with appreciation and pleasure.
Please stay safe and let God protect you all.
Agree with Arie. I appreciate that your top priorities are not cinematography.
The fixed cam worked well here because you captured the moment. The fixed cam had the best view of the task at hand. Lucky, perhaps, considering your faux pas. As others have mentioned, helmet cam has its' advantages. When you zoomed in @15:33, was when helmet cam would capture the hookup.
What made this work is that you captured the audio of both you and Daryl. The continuity this provided made this video. I follow a few towing related sites and this is the first time I've heard both sides of a radio conversation. You're on to something.
Yes we "motion sickness pepole" really appreciate it, thank you so much Plaza for doing so.
Great recovery work. I didn't know statewide was out that way.
Statewide moved out that way about six months ago or so.
Mixed camera views. I do get motion sickness after a while. A few minutes of steadiness goes a long way. But the audio was very distorted. I loved the initial walk around showing the damage and the explanation of how that would effect the recovery.
I know I'm getting old because I remember when plaza towing was known to be plaza shell they used to sit on the corner of Monroe and highway 111 just getting old
Anythings better than a head cam video in my humble opinion. Thanks for offering this option. In any event, you do a great tutorial with your videos.
I like the fixed camera view. It gives a better picture of the overall job, that I feel gets lost sometimes just seeing it from your view. and is definitely easier to watch. The helmet cam is nice to show your rigging hookups, and the damage at first like you did, but would probably be a pain to edit both cameras back and forth for a full video.
Another good job from plaza towing 😊
Hey Trent & Daryl !! Great recovery as always !! Have a good week & Thanks for the video !!
Great job by you and Daryl hope all had a nice holiday and always work safe
I reaize your 24ish & been around the equipment for 2 decades. but holy jumping s**t folks. I think we got ourselves a WINNER. Your still OK in my book. I 🤙
I liked the mix of camera views. Close in for evaluating and hooking up but the long view for things like pulling the trailer around.
I like both camera angles to be honest...but....your guys audio from headsets rockks. darl saying stupidvisor cracked me up LOL
Two or three hard mounted cams should be at 50% of a video like this. Hard mount a camera on each recovery rig and one on a tripod that can be moved around as you feel is best.
That Freightliner is totalled. He some real damage.
Great Teamwork, Trent and Daral 👍😎
My late father was on the board of directors of XTRA INC. piggy back trailers.
Very interesting. 62 years ago my favorite toy vehicles were tow trucks and ambulances. Lots more complicated than a hook under the bumper! Guess those 55" TV's are being delivered by now as "Cyber Monday" specials. 🥴😎
The fixed camera is good for distance and when nothing is moving. As long as we can hear what you are saying. But, nothing beats the helmet cam for close-up work.
Fixed view for this recovery was good. As others said it helps maintain perspective. And I didn't throw up once haha. Now all you would have to do is edit in an occasional closeup like when you climbed into cab. All in all good job.
I do like the fixed Camera view very much, maybe use a tripod for the Cam like "Dirt Monkey" does it quite frequently ?
The video was fine. Could see and more importantly hear what was going on. In my opinion, the fixed wide-angle view for the first half when you were towing it out worked great, and then the helmet cams were necessary when you were hooking up. You can't exactly have a camera guy rushing around filming you out there when your priority is safety and getting the job done.
Good work Darl & Jr
Sunday-evening food! Thnx.
"So, as you can see, this unit is in pretty rough shape"
Let's correct that : "So, as you can see, this unit is probably spare parts"
Fixed camera is nice but an occasional up close is sometimes necessary especially considering the explanation you gave at the beginning of the video. Thanks for the great content! Keep up the great work!
I prefer the headcam as opposed to the fixed cam. But that's just my opinion!
Good job getting it done! I prefer the head camera cause I can watch every step and feel like there with ya and also learn your methods. Maybe you can set up 2 cameras and have both.
We usually have a minimum of 2 going check out some of the others 👍🏻
This is the same truck that totaled my car in August. Was only cited for unsafe lane change
Sounds like the guys I work with.
I enjoy the fixed camera so much better
I love the headcam .. and its sound too
With this setup, it sounds like I'm locked up in a soundproof prison cell with only some distorted voices coming from the small speaker to torture me. 🥴🤪
Mr Trent Thanks for sharing and stay safe
I prefer the head cam but I still watch to hear you guys talk
Very smooth good job
like this kind of video better with some helmet cam
Nice 👍 work 👍😊
great job guys 👍👍👍
Awesome video Trent
Very entertaining! (OK, not for the container driver, but...)
On the container trailer how come you did tie into the fifth wheel pin
Looks like your on the the I- 10 heading west down towards Indio ,ca
keep the videos coming
Love it, another swifty Swift.
Both fixed & helmet cameras, are preferred. No, there isn't excessive motion on helmet cam. Ginger root or Ginger Ale are good for people who experience motion sickness
Nice recovery. I guess somebody didn't get their Black Friday TVs.
I kind of wish you had used a low-boy for the tractor, with all that broken steel.
The driver is definitely in a huge heap of painful trouble. Also having to do some explaining to do including getting drug tested. Won't be surprised if the driver actually looses the DCL.
Head cam works great for rigging.
Fixed is better for when you're winching etc.
Didn't have a tractor available to haul the trailer from the scene?
You-both trucks are already there--use what you have.
A combination of fixed view and the helmet cam works the best for me. You might want to consider two fixed view cameras.
another freight shaker bites the dust
Swift international instructional video good one.
your very good tow truck drivers . why do you strap the axle instead of using chains and do you put on break away chains?
Again, great job1
ILL GO WITH THE HEAD!!!!!!!!!!! A LITTLE VERTIGO WON'T HURT ANYONE!!!!!!!!! WE DO IT ALL DAY LONG!!!!!!!! TY
Good afternoon from Southeast South Dakota
Trent does it again!
Seems like the trailer is in good shape, why not separate?
Yeah, it would be a shame if the trailer and the cargo it was carrying weren’t salvaged considering the container and trailer look perfectly intact and undamaged
The only camera filming is the one on the truck, head cameras are not working.. the damage on the suspension tho , wow 😲
This is the same truck and carrier that totaled my car last August was only cited for unsafe lane change .maybe this will keep him off the road
Another good job. AZ exit 1 ,Hi.
I like the fixed view camera, BUT the audio is bad.
Does the 🥔🥔 audio sound like this in your ears too?
No unfortunately this is the best recording we can get but the headsets we use are crystal clear audio as if we were all in the same room. As they should for the price we paid for them lol
So free TVs for everyone?
What was that red pouch hanging from back of the rotator and the 35 ton?
It's the base station and recording point for the headset coms.
Most likely would have been better if the rotator had been pulling the truck cab, because you could direct the direction that the cab would go in. But using the other truck, you were stuck with no direction to go in because the boom is a fixed unit.
I see what you are saying but you cannot “steer” the truck with the rotator, that would side load the boom, a poor practice as it will destroy the internal gearing on the swing motor
@@plazatowing I can imagine trying to have the swing motor replaced is NOT cheap! My best guess would probably be somewhere in the neighborhood of a few thousand dollars, maybe tens of thousands
Don't force it or you'll give yourself a hernia. Lol
Did you remember to fit your tail lights board?????
Surprised you didn’t have one of these 5th wheel adapter plate for the under lift.
he probably does, but they aren't rated for a loaded trailer
@@adamt4742 ah right. I didn’t know that. Thanks
Why not use the fifth wheel attachment and tow it that way?
Probably too heavy? I believe you can tow a loaded trailer with it, but it can only handle up to 25,000 lbs from what I’ve been told based on someone’s else’s observations of Miller Industries’ spec sheets
Correct^
OK after I did some research I found out the the 5th wheel plate is only to be used on empty trailers up to 24,000lbs. My next question is why didn't they just use one of their tractors to bring the trailer back.
@@timothyhnida8965 probably wouldn't of been very cost effective/efficient considering they already had two heavys on scene is my best guess
Have u heard of Ron towing service be for?.
Put the tractor on a Landoll, tow the container?
Hi. mate,Like it! this is awesome shots!)
its the uhhh guy
Gr8
You have subscribers who get motion sickness?
Not the only RUclipsr who does, Ron Pratt sometimes has this problem too when his hard hat decides to fall off and take his camera down with it, something unofficially known as the “Pratt-fall”, his signature patent-pending variation of the pit fall.
Hi
How many times can you say “Uhh”, “Umm”??
I hate the head cams, way too much motion. This the right way to go.
Just for better understanding....why don't you just disconnect the truck from the trailer, get another truck on the trailer and pull it off the scene?
Would require a whole other truck and driver and we were 20-30 miles away from the yard. Just figured use the equipment we have on hand
If I was in a position of managing a truck company I would fire this driver and recommend the state to terminate his CDL for life and pay for the damage
naw not into fix cam prefer 1st persom
I’m also sure your client was in the wrong, but heading East at sunrise is a bitch! So I’m cutting him some slack.
Good pint although this accident occurred at night
damn "NEW" drivers & the ink ain't EVEN on his CDL's, get your head O.Y.A., next video WILL be better, or am I just ASSume too much ?? But good job Trent.
Your camera audio was bad and you didnt use safety chain
How's your dad?
