Simple Winchout .... NOT!

- Опубликовано: 13 апр 2021
- In this video, I was sent to winch out a tractor trailer loaded with 42,000 lbs. It was suppose to be a simple winch out. Upon arrival I discovered a driver had tried to turn around in someone's front yard. We used our 30 ton to winch the unit backwards and our 50 ton to lift the tractor nose and twist it so the driver could drive out.

LOL! My Ole Grand Dad said, "Son, when a man tells you I'm jus' a little stuck you need to get two more mules and pull your boot strings tight - It's goin' to be Rough!"
Mr EG I like that saying. Thanks for watching and stay safe
5;26 "i do not know what this driver was thinking" Simple he was not thinking at all
Mr Woody That is a very true statement. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe
I'am a retired driver and looking at this video I agree with you I DON"T KNOW WHAT THIS DRIVER WAS THINKING. It is hard to believe that this driver is allowed to be on the road. You sure had your hands full Mr. Hal great job sir.
Mr Russell thanks for watching and stay safe
There are worse truckers on the road. Sergei Dratchev has shown such a guy on his channel.
Unfortunately now days anyone that can breath can get a CDL.
@@Bama1963 Well said !!
Hello Summit 1234, what is a CDL? I am from Germany.
This shortage of drivers in the country are putting some unsafe people behind the wheel of 80,000 lbs. and that is scary
Mr Todd51 Thanks for watching our channel and stay safe
" I do not know what this driver was thinking"... Boy was that an understatement. People do strange things sometimes. Glad y'all were able to get him out.
Mr Johnny thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe
I know exactly what he was thinking. He seen what looked like a big wide open area & tried to make a U-Turn.
The skills that driver had..
😂😂😂
Guyonabuffalo100 Thanks for watching and stay safe
I feel like I was raised a spoiled child. My only experience watching any "wrecker" videos came from Pepe's Towing with the rotators.
Watching you shows the "old school" with lessons on how to rig. Am enjoying the class so far...so long as you dont pass out "pop quizzes" I'll be fine...smiles
DUnforDALE Thank you for watching our channel and stay safe. PS no pop quizzes
@@SumterWrecker
you can just call me Dale sir
Thank you Mr Dale Stay safe out there
@@SumterWrecker you do the same Mr Hal
U called that one , Lol , Well done
Mr Mike That is really the case in most calls They are stuck a little deeper or further out than they say. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Love the sound of your old truck. They don't make them like that anymore.. Where was Mr Wilbert?
Mr Kevin thanks and stay safe
Another good Pole like you I was wondering what the hell was the driver thinking. 👍👍😀🇨🇦
I paddle my own canoe. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Gives a whole new meaning to low country GAWD, Good work.
Mr Allen thank you for watching and stay safe
Being a driver of 36 years, I would’ve requested the police have that driver drug tested. He did enough damage to get a mandatory drug screen done.
Howdy Mr. Hall Howdy Joe I am watching your video you take care of your customer and they take care of you
Mr Eric thanks for watching and stay safe
I drove a homes just like that for Anaheim Fullerton Towing many years.
Great job!
CDL ISN'T FOR EVERYONE! 🙂
Mr Dean thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe
Nothing is never simple!! Was a simple fix with right tools and knowledge. Love the video! Also I am sure the landowner surely was not proud of this steering wheel holder. If he was a truck driver he would not have been there.
Mr Kenny We appreciate you watching our channel and stay safe
"I don't know what this driver was thinking ". The last word of that statement says it all. I believe the problem was caused by a short between the seat & the steering wheel.
Mr Greg That made me laugh. Thanks for watching and stay safe
i was going to say that good one Mr Greg
Hahaha! Thats a good one!
@@Pretzel114 thanks for watching our videos and stay safe
LOL🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am always amazed how well you guys handle these situations. A less then skilled driver in a stupid situation like that would be enough to drive a lot of guys crazy
Mr Robert thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe
Another great job
Great job, that trucker wasn't thinking. Have a great evening 👍
Mr Brian thanks for watching and you have a good evening as well. Stay safe
What a mess !! Good thing somebody knew what they were doing. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe 🇬🇧
Mr Dave Thanks for watching our channel and stay safe
Goddess, I hope he learned something today. His mind wasn’t on his work. He got the right man to get him out of that situation . Thanks for posting
Mr John I really believe that. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe
Another great towing job for Sumpter Towing. Very professional. Thanks for sharing!! Stay safe.
Bored2 lazy thanks for watching our channel and stay safe
That went pretty well considering what a mess was there. Thanks for the video.
For some reason I keep thinking the phrase "box of rocks".
Mr John I think it well also. Thanks for watching and stay safe
That is a shame. Totally uncalled for and unnessary. Hope the damage to the yard is taken care of. Good job on the recovery. Mighty responsible of you to wait on the homeowner before move it.
Mr Terry I do also. They are very hard working people. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Boy That driver Did a lot of damage to that yard That was ridiculous what he did you guys are awesome did a great job keep up the great work
Mr Rich We appreciate that. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe
Excellent video, plus I like the way you tried to minimise the damage to the truck and the yard, thanks for posting.K
Mr Kevin thanks for watching and stay safe
You said you didn't know what the driver was thinking. He couldn't have been thinking. While it may be fun to watch a big rotator you can see elsewhere, you can really measure a man's skill when he is underequipped but gets the job done with what he has as opposed to his preferred truck. Making the smaller truck do the job is great to watch.
Mr Will I really appreciate that. Thanks for watching our channel and stay safe
Today on unresolved mysteries let's try to find out how the hell that driver managed to end up there.
Mr Ole Skool Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe
@@SumterWrecker My pleasure, sir. You stay safe, your job is not an easy one. I did it for a short stint a while ago to help my boss back then as he had no one willing to do it.
Short cut
@@darrellroeters4951 It was a short cut to disaster and a hefty bill for sure. In all seriousness it looks like the guy was looking for a place to turn around, but used very poor judgment, to say the least.
I bet the home owner was very upset. Nice work Mr Hal.
Mr Jimmy he was. He wanted to make sure his yard was going to be fixed. Thanks for watching and stay safe
@@SumterWrecker Just to make a little light of the situation. I'm an over the road trucker with about 27 years experience. A couple of years ago, I did a boo-boo. Not this bad, but I did stick my front tires up into some guys back yard, that edged along a commercial warehouse. Oh yea, the home owner seen me do it, & he called the cops. They told him there wasn't nothing they could do about that. So anyway he was double pissed off. He came out as I had just got loaded & was doing my bills. He came up casually & struck up a conversation about the situation with me. I knew I did wrong & admitted guilt to the guy. I tried to show him that I wasn't the only one using his back yard as a pivot point. At the same time I was feeling bad for the guy because I knew I did wrong. I asked him If I could fix his back yard up in a way where it would protect itself from other truckers like me, if that would please him. He said yes it would. I told him a local landscaping crew would be by within the next week & show him the plans. We shook hands & off he went with my name, phone number, Company I drove for & number to my Safety Director, & my drivers license number, just incase the landscaping crew didn't show up he would be able to file a damage report to his home insurance company with a police report. I contacted a local landscaping crew who was more than willing to help us out. They had a big mammoth rock that just found itself a new squatting place. Along with a few flowers & some sod, his back yard was appealing again. The old boy emailed a picture of the yard after it was complete. Looked pretty good. It cost me just a little over $1250.00 for using his back yard as a pivot point. I'm glad he didn't file charges on my dumb butt, & was happy to pay the bill.
@@philsmidwestclassiccars150 Mr Phil thanks for sharing that. I think you went above and beyond in your situation. We are human and we do make mistakes. Thanks for watching and stay safe
I'm very sure that Mr. Charles put a hurt on someone's pocket.
@@t.l.robinson2162 Yes sir thanks for watching and stay safe
The nerve of this driver to just tear someone's property up. Mr. Hal you should have taken this guy's man card away from him. That was a heavy pull for that 30 Ton but it handled it like a monster that it is. Nice recovery Mr. Hal. Stay safe my friend.
Mr Dan we appreciate that. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Get your CDL in just 4 weeks, and take to the streets. I watch several towing channels, and have seen stuff that makes me wonder how they were able to get a CDL in the first place. I drove a 33,000 pound fire truck for 8 years. I never left pavement, unless it was a hard packed dirt driveway. As always great job Mr. Hal and Joe
Mr Edward thanks for service in the fire service and thanks for watching our channel. Stay safe
@@SumterWrecker You are most welcome Mr. Hal. ya'll stay safe out there as well.
Don't ever give up on old red. She did it again.
There is a lot of people out there driving trucks but not many truck drivers out there.
Another great video and another great job. 😎👍👌

Mr Dkwolf thanks and thanks for watching our channel. Stay safe
i guess the driver thought it would be a good idea to make a u turn on someone’s front lawn
Classic xl Yes sir but he did not plan on getting stuck. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Good job. Glad it’s not front yard. Don’t think that driver has ever done any off highway driving. At least in the south.
Mr Joe thanks for watching and stay safe
He was just following his GPS. Great job ,stay safe out there.
Mr Lars Thanks and you stay safe as well

Well done Son! Driver is lucky he did not drive over a septic tank. You guys are impressive.
Mr Gary thanks. Thank you for watching and stay safe
You got that right. That would have been a stinking disaster.
Where did the truck driver think he was going I was really surprised it didn't say Swift on the title that trailer
Mr Timothy thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe
Well he really made a mess in that yard! Big no no turning around on somebodies property!
Mr Edwin thanks for watching our videos and stay safe
When you know that you are stuck...stop ! Don’t dig a hole.

You guys are something else. Can't imagine what the driver was thinking but Sumter knew his job. Wonder how the company is feeling about this. God bless you from Michigan ❤️
Ms Susan Thanks and thank you for watching. Stay safe
That might be a 30 ton but it has those badass old style winches that will pull til something gives or something breaks.
Mr Vaughn yes sir that is very true. Thanks for viewing and stay safe
Another great recovery job well done God bless & stay safe🙏
Bigteeist thanks and stay safe
I'm sure the owner wasn't happy with this driver tearing up his yard. Mr Hal you and Joe did a great job. Thanks for sharing the video. I really enjoyed it.Thumbs up. Y'all take care and stay safe out there. Jason in Sumter.
Mr Jason thanks for being a local supporter of our channel. Stay safe
Ausome video thanks

I would bet that less than 10 % of the winch outs are simple. Well done Mr.Hal
Mr Dean 4357 That is probably a good number. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Another awesome recovery and video, I get driver complacency sometimes but I’m glad there are people like yourself to help drivers get out of trouble,and you also gave free advertisement for that trucking company so you helped them out two ways👍
Vernon thank you for watching our channel and stay safe
The tractor unit was certainly sunk in there.....That was a hard pull ....Stay safe and see you on the next one
Mr Neil Thanks and thank you for watching. Stay safe
I never want to take pleasure in other people's misfortunes. I hope that driver learned a lesson from this. I'm sure it was expensive. As always, you make it look easy. I love that old Pete, I hope someday you can restore it.
Steel fist Yes sir that strong old truck. Thanks for watching and stay safe
I know this is a dumb question but where was he trying to drive to just curious be safe and have a wonderful day
Mr Samuel he was looking for a fuel stop. He was not even close. Thanks for viewing and stay safe
Great job, that old girl can pull!!! Love seeing the older trucks still in-service

She's a tough ol gal that 30 tonner of yours! That was a hard pull.... and a deep rut or 2.. thats gonna cost the trucker's company a dollar or 2 to fix in compensation to the land owner. Nice video and thanks for sharing
Mr Ogion Yes sir she is tough. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Thank you and God bless you all
Mr Keith Thanks for watching our videos and stay safe
You sure hit the nail on the head about how bad he would be stuck, it’s amazing the low skills and judgment of some of the drivers out there these days. The old Pete surprised me on that one. Great job as usual and stay safe out there
Mr John we appreciate you watching our videos and stay safe
I bet the home owner wasn't very happy with that driver
Mr Luke He had a copy of certificate of insurance before I was able to winch and I don't blame him. Thanks for watching and stay safe

I could say a lot about the driver but I will just say he doesn't need to be on the road 🛣️ behind the wheel of a tractor trailer, you did a smooth job of getting him out with out further damage to the owners yard.
Bates Bates thank you for watching and stay safe
Mr Hal as usual you and your crew did an excellent job getting the job done. As for the " truck driver " I was taught at a young age, if you don't have anything nice to say keep your mouth shut.

everything is simple till it isn't
Mr Jhon that is true. Thanks for watching and stay safe
It's a good thang he got stuck if not the homeowner would have came home from work and seen all this toreup and didn't know who did it. No respect for other people's property. Great job
Mr Andy I agree. Thanks for viewing and stay safe
I was thinking the same.... The driver would have left a big mess and driven off. What a menace!
@@ayl3166 thanks for watching and stay safe
MR. Watts !!!! Kinda looks like a ""GPS"" issue as always !!!! The Driver sure knows how to do $$ 50K damage in 5 mins. !!!! Their INSURANCE CO. sure ain't gona like that bill for sure !!! Hope ALL is well with the OWNER when this issue is done !!! ""KEEP IT SAFE "" & have a good rest of the week !!!
Mr KB Hopefully they will do the right thing and fix it. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Simple pull out. You have to be kidding.... When that is said. You know it's gonna be a hard one... Nice video as usual...
Mr Wayne we appreciate you watching and commenting. Stay safe
Hope you handed that driver a shovel to fill in the holes in the yard.
Also could not figure out what he was doing, or where he was planning on going.
Mystery, but you "got him out".
You have the skill to quickly evaluate the situation, rig it up, and quickly pull him out of the mud. Another great video, tks.

Retired trucker here great tow truck work but as for the driver its time to find a new career. Cardinal rule don,t go on private property. If he worked for BWM all your work would comes out of his pocket the lawn repair too.
Vega 1975 yes sir very true. Thanks for watching and stay safe
What a driver….NOT!!😮😮 What in the world was he thinking trying to turn around there?!
Kawafer1 We appreciate you watching and commenting. Stay safe
It is a worry that thedriver does not seem to know even about the basics of his tractor’s operation. You did an excellent job under the circumstances. I hope the property damage did not involve a septic field and rebuild.
Ordinary Miracles The damage was just to the yard. Thanks for watching our channel and stay safe
The Kirby Grant is awesome. You made chicken salad out of chicken s..t. My hat is off to you guys! It’s hard to comprehend that these idiots are piloting 80,000 pounds down our highways?

Mr. Hal things like this blow my mind. What in the world was he doing down there in the first place. Probably following his GPS.
Mr Charles I think he was turning around. Thanks for watching and stay safe
Mr Hal, great job you Joe did without adding to the yard damage, and you didn't even run over Grandma's yellow dog. When you looked into that drivers eyes, was there anybody home?
Mr John thanks for watching and stay safe
I drove a truck 40 years and I never ever wore yellow shorts and boots and not to mention I never would let myself get in a situation where I would drive into someone's yard to turn around. Great job
Mr. Hal.
Mr Terry thanks for viewing and commenting. Stay safe out there
Great job
Hope you changed his company well
Mr Jeff thanks for watching and stay safe
Man this driver must have gotten his driver's license from a Crackerjack box.
Mr Mike Thanks for watching and stay safe
Today's trucking companies don't want their steering wheel holder's to think, they teach them that. Challenging job with non English speaking person. Good job Mr Hal
Mr Dennis thanks and thanks for watching. Stay safe
LOL...... Hal, when you said that that driver can't drive very well I would say that was a pretty fair assumption given the spot he was in, frankly, I don't know how in the world he got his CDL.
Homeless Nomad Yes sir. I wish I filmed him leaving. He tried to make a right turn from the right side. Thanks for watching our older videos and stay safe.
Looks to me like yet another driver who found his CDL in a box of Cracker Jacks. I started driving professionally in 1972, no CDL's back then, you had to get a 'chauffeur license'. And it wasn't easy to get unless you really knew how to handle a big rig and could prove it. Seems now if you can sit in the seat and your feet reach the pedals and you can see over the steering wheel that's the only requirement. Common sense optional. Great job, Hal and Joe!

Another great video.
Mr Grahame We appreciate that. Thanks for watching our channel and stay safe
Mr.Hal, excellent re- covery by u & Joe. I think this driver was looking to get back on the road with out making the sharp turns as was shown The biggest thing was driving on and tearing up the lawn. He's very lucky that it wasn't a septic system in that area, or he and the t/t would have been in some deep Ka! Ka! You and your team stay safe out there gentlemen.
Mr Dp we appreciate that. Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe
Awesome job well done.

What did the land owner have to say?? Yes “What was this driver thinking??” Job well donie
