I like your series I was a HD truck repair for 32 yrs I like the camera feels like I'm doing the work Too old and retired from doing that work anymore Feel right at home thanks
Darl needs one of them flashing lights for his truck as it does seem to work. If they are expensive to buy you could easily make one with a 12 volt battery, a flashing beacon and a water tight food box.
People really piss me off not moving over I've had my ribs broke being smacked by a mirror and I've had my truck hit I've also lost some good friends and been to my share of towers funerals because people can't pull their head out of their ass and have enough decency and respect and courtesy to move over a lane it's a real sore subject for me
someone on another video suggested that those who refuse to move over should be made to stand out there on the side of the road for X amount of time (I don't remember what they gave for a time limit), and I can't argue with that. It seems fair. Might remove their heads from their asses...but then again it may not. I would HOPE it would.....
I used to have a socket called ‘gator grip’ years ago, not sure if they are even made any longer. I do have a set of sockets designed for just such occasions and they seem to work pretty well. What i have now is called ‘extract it’ by mastercraft. Its a 5 pc set, has some reverse cut edges inside the socket that grab on to the damaged bolt head and allow you to back them out. Might be worth checking into.
Nice job Darl! Had to work for that one. You guys should go out right now and buy a set of turbo sockets for each truck for just that reason ... probably would have taken that bolt right out.
Thanks for the video. Good that it is not a planet rear axle as it installed MAN. There is 3.5 liters of oil in the side in order to increase the stub shaft out.
Sir Trent !! Saw on the new Wreckers that they have installed blinker caution lights on the inside of the compartment doors so that when they are open that passing traffic can see the doors !!! As ever ,,traffic won't move over like the Law states !!! KEEP IT SAFE !!!
2005 year. Bad year for emissions. They had a lot of problem in those years. As an O/O, I skip those years and went from a 2001 truck to a 2016 truck. This is also a good video that shows why you want to carry a good fire extenguar. Put out the fire out before the driver lost all there stuff and the truck.
ya'll need to make a whelen m9 milwaukee m18 powered battery box, ive been looking at making one myself, the m9 is about 10" wide and is used on ambulances a lot here, low amperage draw and with a battery regulator and a waterproof box it wouldnt be hard to do...
That's right drivers your shiny new Cascadia's are not the only Freightliner's that have the roman candle dash option like Freightliner told you! The problem goes back a lot further, just remember they have a lot of money for lawyers :)
Scooping up the oil was funny considering everything else that was laying along side the road. The oil was the most natural thing there. That part of the state is all kitty litter anyway.
Thoes people passing you on the side of the hwy pisses me off they see you working an they don't even care .keep up the great work I enjoy watching your videos be safe out their
Is Darl's truck older than yours? Boy that sucks when a mechanic would leave something like that knowing that the next person would have a problem with it. Good Job!
Those bolts aren't supposed to be reused but everyone does. Tow operators could save themselves some grief by tossing them when they are removed. A grinder or die grinder makes short work of them.
MOVE OVER PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD HELPING PEOPLE IN NEED. WE HAVE FAMILY'S TO GO HOME TO. 2 OUT OF 10 CARS/TRUCKS MOVE OVER. THATS SO SAD. IM A TOW TRUCK OPERATOR IN CT AND ITS THE SAME THING UP HERE.
How is Darl ever going to be respected as an evil villain if he doesn't start monologuing more!?! Kidding - I'd hate for him to be distracted like that trying to please viewers. Stay Safe.
jesus they dont care about the safety of the towing operator and stay in the god damb lane ... where i am it is an expensive ticket and we have gouverment safety agent basically dot but we call them the little green man because they are dress all green lol and they will give the ticket
John ever had to clean up a car or truck? It is one Hell of a mess. Trent has a video that Plaza did a couple of years ago when the whole rig went up in flames. Between Caltrans and Plaza it took I think about six hours to clean up, happened on the 10 fwy out in the middle of nowhere.
I like that set up on the underlift to hook up chains using a chain binder. Seems simpler, quicker and more secure than the hooks.

Thanks for watching!
Awesome job Darrol, freeky out on that road, be Safe buddy.
Since Vladimire didn't even have his warning triangles out, I would have put the light bar on first.

There's a recall on those Freightliners for a Corroded SAM which will overheat and catch fire

I had the same problem once. used a cold chisel and a BFH to loosen the bolt and vice grips got the bolt out.
Why not work the controls from the non traffic side?
Thanks for the video.

I wish they would slow down and move over an accident waiting to happen

Man it makes me sad when people don’t move over
Nice video as always :) Darl did a very good job on pulling those axles :)
With the amount of traffic passing by that close and fast really must make the tow operators a bit jumpy.
A always see U pull the drive line do u always put it back on when u get to drop off location
An automotive oil drain container would be easier to dump oil into but a funnel would help.

Great video was wondering when he was going to drop a washer or bolt in the oil stay safe from Australia
Thanks Trent, tell Daral he did a nice job 🖒
How stupid can you be to not move over when you see people working on the side of the highway
That's right drivers your shiny new Cascadia's are not the only Freightliner's that have the roman candle dash option like Freightliner told you! The problem goes back a lot further, just remember they have a lot of money for lawyers :)

I am learning so much from you thank you
How come Darl's truck doesn't say "Plaza Towing" on it?
Sleeper door! Thanks for watching
Trent, how far do you go for a tow with sleepers on your trucks?
Interesting taken tha drive shaft. Good stuff darl
Por darle, here to deal with all this stuff. Great video bro.
Is Darl's truck older than yours? Boy that sucks when a mechanic would leave something like that knowing that the next person would have a problem with it. Good Job!

44:10 I see where the fire was coming from. jokes.
Job done well tho!

Why didn’t Darl have to take all 4 axles out?
Look up how differentials work...
With one side removed, the differential can spin freely. You’d really have to know how a differential works to understand.
People see the flashing lights and still Drive fast pass you don't even move over
How is Darl ever going to be respected as an evil villain if he doesn't start monologuing more!?!
Kidding - I'd hate for him to be distracted like that trying to please viewers. Stay Safe.
My hat's off to y'all.
another barbequed Schneider truck! Anybody hungry?
jesus they dont care about the safety of the towing operator and stay in the god damb lane ... where i am it is an expensive ticket and we have gouverment safety agent basically dot but we call them the little green man because they are dress all green lol and they will give the ticket
He should of let that Truck burn
