I have no idea why this was in my recommended, but this was actually a good video
Is this the potato I know or a phony
Happy Potato same lol
Same, but I watched the whole thing!
Same... I did watch a video on repairing a boom lift on a channel I was already subscribed to before Plaza Towing showed up in my suggestions, though. Tentative link, but it is similar content.
Funny enough I actually know why this is in my recommended.
Respect to all the motorist that merged into the Left lane!
Not really, you shouldnt need to thank people for having common sense in my opinion.
A big problem we have now Rypie is the Chronic Abuse Of The Amber Beacon/Strobe lamp . The Amber lamp is given to public service for one reason . Amber put out the Brightest light of the 4 colours used until Recent times when the LED hit the scene . Issue is No one Slows down any more for the Amber warning systems we use . i feel that Pro Rescue Recovery Should be Full Red But that Creates a problem in many states in the US .. England Red is only used by Ambulance and police .Some Heavy Rescue mechanics whom deal with the truck breakdowns have them too but that is it .
@@godet9694 He was being sarcastic.
knurri he was not being sarcastic
go det common sense doesn’t exist this generation
The trainer is super cool. That's what I call a successful Boss.
I'm not a truck driver or in the towing industry, but this was intoxicating to watch.
Great Video.
I can only imagine what a tow like this would cost. It's gotta be crazy cash.
@@CrashedIntoTube I have been towed for 120 miles and it costs over 2k. Location also depends, for you have better rates with competition.
@@CrashedIntoTube sheesh! 2k is alot
@@chastblind7606 Better than buying a new truck!
nothing but respect for all the road service crews. Thanks for keeping us poor bastards rolling
Robert Symonds not like there doing it for free
That does not mean they can't be thanked. I am not a driver, however, my dad has been driving almost thirty years, counting the time he spent working for Uncle Sam. #GoArmy #BeatNavy
Nice job teaching,,,,, didn't swear or freak even when the hose went flying and whipped into buddies paint,,,,, just said don't do it again,, thats teaching,,, you are a patient man trent
paint is the last thing he's worried about lol that blown engine though..
That's because he's not one of those bosses who never did anything in his life. He knows that everybody makes mistakes, and that you cannot make mistake only if you don't do anything.
@@MrGrabich Trent is no boss, hes a leader.
You're a natural teacher! You know when to say "show me what we should be doing" and "watch me do this"; it's a skill that few have. From experience, not all apprentices are created equal... so good to see yours is watching and trying, he'll do well!
maybe he subscribed to "reponut"back in the days !
His teaching actually brought a tear to my eye. Kudos to the driver.
Shows how dangerous this work is with road traffic speeding by like 2ft next to you!!!
Be safe out there!!
Lol come to India I will show what is danger.u will say these guys are safe
@@mohankrishna1443 How is it in India?
@@FirstLast-ig2mg Even worse, no one care about anyone or anything on the roads what so ever and also have the highest death toll in the traffic of all countries. Traffic laws exist it's just that no one really gives a rats ass, pretty much like in Russia but still worse in India.
@@FirstLast-ig2mg Well they shit all over the side of the road so...
@@dtiydr Sounds like Cali drivers, only difference is nobody knows what the traffic laws are. Hell they don't even know there's a fast/slow lane.
124k and full throttle. that's a lot of heat in those cylinders, wow
I wonder why type of boost he's putting out and if he's on twins or a single and what is egt's are
@@mattsedgwick3082 if its anything like our 567. His sounds like a cummins most likely a 550 or more horse engine and probably doing a steady 25lbs of boost all the way up. And unless its a fake driver side stack, It looks like a twin set up bu im sure it was fuckin hot lol.
Mach Style why would they put a dummy stack on a rig? Do truckers do that often?
@@mattsedgwick3082 Aesthetics mostly.
@@Mach_Style 25psi....more like 60psi, a stock 5.9 Cummins is 40psi on stock and if the semi or the triaxle is 550 horse it's gotta be upwards of 60psi of boost
I think this is the first time I’ve ever watch an hour long video all the way through
Yeah me too, so intresting idk why
Wtf I just realized it was an hour long video when I read your comment.
Loop no it's all good
You a,d do all 99 I g o t s pe you need red frrest
No hoo its women that blow ell an llll0m tell you need danger take to me asap please
ever since you pulled off the shoulder that blue truck was tailgating you nonstop. didn't he see you were struggling up hills?
lol
Good one
Lol
That's because he's choking too
It had a ghost driver too!
Never realized it took soso long to hook a rig up
P R O P E R like this.
Some are way faster. Depends but a damn good video for those wanting to learn.
That's HARD work, especially in the winter! I towed for a couple of years in my youth. My knees are paying for it now. Trent has a great attitude and method for training by always reinforcing the positive. There's a lot to understand, practice and remember. It's critical to help the self confidence of new drivers, NEVER to berate them or cut them down. There are too many bullies out there as it is.
No such thing as winter where these boys are
What a great teacher. I'm prior military and was in a teaching capacity for some of it. The company is lucky to have such a patient and practical instructor such as this guy. Good luck Alex !!! You have been trained the right way. I like how the teacher kept asking Alex, "ok Alex, what do we do now". Great video !!!
we need more trainers like this guy in the world. Patience is key.
I used to drive a wrecker for Freddie Macs Towing in south El Monte CA 20 yrs ago, i love channels like this and others, brings back so many memories, great video.
I like your patience with Alex. Also the fact you gave him a chance.
I can't believe more traffic doesn't move over to the left lane and just buzzes right by them.
lyman135 it should be on the freaking license test !!
...bad thoughts come to mind. Must not kill bad drivers...let them do it themselves...
As a tow operator myself, I'm not surprised. It sucks but it's the reality of how dangerous it is on the side of the highway
@@kegaan I am a truck driver and I broke down at night with a hazmat(hazardous material)load and there were people not moving over and i had my flashers going and was putting out my emergency triangles.yeah I was nervous as hell but people don't pay attention.worst part is is its not only cars that don't move over and that's sad.that was crazy when the bikes went by.
@@thelifeofjessejames A tow truck driver I've known all my life was killed while doing a tow (20-25+ yrs of experience at the time of this accident ) walking next to his tow truck on the side of the road on the hwy. A comming truck didn't changed lane and hit him… OK it was at night and in a snow storm but… That was long before they passed the law (changing lane)!!! He had a wife and 2 beautiful Young kids… He bought his dad's garage, and that was in a small village along the hwy where everybody knew everybody… He was a very nice guy! Life sucks sometimes…
From people who work on these things, thank you for knowing about what you're working with. Secondly.. thank you for taking pride in your work.. those small details you note on every procedure really shows you care. Your employer is the luckiest person in the world.
Thank you for explaining what you are doing EVERY step of the way to your rookie. Seriously, thank you for helping him the way you are.
Great Video, Nice Presentation & Professionalism...I'm A Retired Heavy-Duty Wrecker Driver...Did It For 24 Years. I Miss Those Days, ALWAYS Up For A Challenge !!, Keep up The Great Work, And Be Safe Out There,....Don't forget To "Enjoy Them Seat Covers", LOL !!!!!
Hahaha.i wonder how many people that read your comment know what what a seat cover really is lol.good one driver
why the caps on every first letter of a word? and also why so many periods and all that? mate just type the sentence and be done with it. using only one exclamation mark means more than four or five.
Mytur Banizdurtee just curious what’s the phrase supposed to mean ?
Good job guys. Teaching a new operator keeps things interesting, But I know he has a good teacher. Stay Safe from the idiots that won't slow down or move over!
From a truck driver to you wrecker drivers.good video and hard work.18 yrs on the road and was only on the hook twice,knock on wood.good video and great teaching abilities.kudos to you
Cool! I always wanted to see a truck towed. I have a penchant for getting towed. Very interesting and good instructions.
i respect those guys who drive truck they dont take much money and dedicate their lives to it!!
If I can make a suggestion : Make a paper checklist for alex to use on his first time solo, or even better let him make one and read trough together , that always helped me on a new job.
Also make sure to write down all important phone numbers in case his phone dies he can borrow someones phone in case he needs help or advise ( happened to me, ended up calling police to contact the company )
i ame impressed with the amount of gear you have available ( i´ve been looking for blocks ,taking bricks out of the street cause my boss would supply only the bare minimum )
I really like this suggestion
My biggest compliments for how you work in a professional, attentive, orderly, fast and safe way.
Its nice to see a person that REALLY knows his job. The guy making the video is what I would call a true professional. The world needs a lot more people like you Jest saying. Nice work
Trent is such a lovable person. Alex will do just fine under his guidance.
haha lol
I'm totally impressed!! A clean mouth and a kind teacher! Beautiful!
Wow what a pro.Man think of doing that in the ice & snow,wind blowing like hell! RESPECT
This is the best video on RUclips
Surprised by the great respectful trainer! Normally they be screaming at the poor new guy for any little thing, or they be all pist off at life and they take it out on the new guy......but this trainer here was a breath of fresh air, the new guy also seemed very knowledgeable and looks like he will be a great worker, that can one day (with the proper grooming and training) become an important asset.
"How many miles are on it?" On this motor...270.
Good answer.
Whatever company made this rebuild owes this guy
He means 270000
I mean he's not gonna say 270169 nor does it matter.
Do you want him to spell out the numbers too?
Nah, just a Kenworth answer
It's funny bc if you live Ohio the outer loop of Columbus is I270
Trent you did an excellent job with Alex!! Very good teacher!
I have watched many of your video's and the most impressive is your constant vigilance on safety. Always paramount and foremost thought process.
Wow, so much work to tow one truck
Not enough footage of your rig. Those heavy duty wreckers are amazing.
Great Teacher, well done, Alex was good too.
What a treat to watch this
I love the way he is teaching the new guy. Makes sure that they are aware of safety, follow preparations slowly step by step, encounter an issue, allow trainee to express what he would do. That is just the best way someone could get taught. Makes a mistake, work it out, learn, enjoy. Such great experience that makes you want to push trough in difficult times.
I used one of these rigs to tow a school bus years ago before you needed CDLs. Never drove one in my life, only a F-350 wrecker at the time. I managed to figure it all out and get back to the bus yard without any misshaps LoL
You are a patient and a good trainer. The customer kept walking around all over the place and close to traffic. Customer should stay in one spot, stay out of the way and don't walk near traffic. One less thing to worry about.
Amazing, simply amazing. That’s probably one of the best instructional videos I’ve seen in a long time. You can probably make a series on heavy duty towing, and sell it to towing companies across the US. You’d make a killing. Alex reminds me of myself, a fast learner. Every vehicle I’ve operated in my driving career, I learned by watching, and on the job training. To me that’s the best way to learn.
I can't believe those driver who do not move away from the stranded vehicle. I loved the way you are teaching Alex. You are really teaching by example. At first I didn't see this was over an hour long. You kept me interested the whole time because even if I was a trucker, retired now, I have learned a few little tricks I had never seen before. Great job and good luck Alex on a new career.
I can't imagine doing all this on the "Highway thru Hell" in the middle of winter, in the mountains - but somehow they do. Hats off to you guys, takes big ones to do this job.
mrvoyagerm it’s a good time lol love going up the coquihalla
@@codyshmody It's quite the hill. First time for me. Just went up it today. Fan didn't want to turn on. Coolant hit 250°F and shut itself off. Stopped on the side of the hill and let it cool off. Waited a few minutes and fired up kept going.
I could watch this stuff all day. Workers working with their tools to get the job done.
Very dangerous job! Always be on the lookout for incoming cars
WOW ! Santa clause needed a road side assistance !
Wow Alex looks a really nervous. Well at least you got the job done. Sooner or later he's going to be an awesome Heavy Haul tow truck driver. Can't wait to see that.
Interesting video that shows that it is very involved procedure to tow a large truck and trailer rig.
Trent is a great instructor. Asking questions, giving tips, and he’s big on safety. Great job!
Safety first. Great training..
That thing got some speed quick, That hill is no joke!
Always fun to have the true opportunity to use all your gears.
Mad respect for truckers, they run stuff around our country.
That slow poke going uphill probably has a defect. Remember pulling a trailer when uphill I blew my turbo hose. It wasn't very steep but there was no power left what so ever. Barely mad it up in first gear and I was puffing black smoke all over the place. Some cars even turned on their light as many of them have daylight sensors. The white trailer was then black and I immediately changed the engine oil.
Excellent training attitude and tone. You were never condescending. Enjoyed the video and the hard work you folks do. Please be safe out there.
First Example of how to recover a truck. Credit to you both.
Trainer did a really good job of showing Alex the ropes and picking good opportunities for him to lead the operation. Good attitude and always keeping safety in mind.
Phenomenal Trainer keep up the good work
That was fast, clean, and safe, excellent! Great job instructing and teaching.
Great job Alex learned lots about towing thank you. 🇨🇦
This guy is a good teacher.
I had to watch every second of the video too. I was sleepy until I started watching it then I woke right up n didn't wanna stop watching. Great job to both of you guys.
Great episode, shows How To teach but yet safety first. People don't realize how fast traffic is going with just 70 mph and the wind flow until you're stopped out there, especially if you don't have a Unit out there with you.. Y'all be safe out there!! 🤗
Good teacher Trent.
True tow operator right there. Has a routine down, is patient and calm, knows exactly what to do. Very professional. I’ve been towing for 21 years now and I’m just like this guy only light duty. Keep up the good work and be safe out there! The side of a busy highway is one of the most dangerous places on earth. #SDMO
Excellent day for the trainee, good you have taken the time to show these guys the ropes. hats off to you.
As an operator,...
MOVE OVER, MOVE OVER, MOVE OVER...
We would like to do our job and.... MAKE IT HOME TO OUR FAMILIES!
This job seems fun. Once you know all the ins and outs. Good teaching too.
Mad respect for you teaching Alex especially when he unhooked the air hose and it flew out of his hands and the way he looked at you after he grabbed it again I felt so bad but you didn't put him down you just spoke to him about it and made sure he wouldn't do it again and even told him that you do it sometimes
Mad respect!
I also know nothing about towing a car so this was cool to watch
Trent you’re a very good instructor.......
Trent my friend,its men like you who i like working with,you have good patients and time to teach the new worker
That Richard Wolfe Company based out of Mt.Vernon OH...that man keeps a clean fleet with some nice trucks.
Yes he does he's about 30 minutes from me . Extremely nice trucks
MAShire3 where’s this at?
@ Jay R.
His teacher is his father.
See his name tag. Trent JR.

Is Alex still employed with Plaza Towing.
This channel get's recommended every so often and it's just pure awesomeness.
Awsome Job Alax 👍 and thank you Trent for the video 🤙
You are an impressive "Natural" Instructor/teacher!!!
Man what a great teacher
Good video. Been hitched 3 times in the summer. once in the winter. do not envy that job in the winter.
I remember my first heavy hook up. I was so proud. Now it's just another day in the office
I am amazed on how strong those straight axles are when pulling on them with all that force.
@O T N that's impossible
Walking dog he forgot to mention "IN GTA V with any car tow mod"
@O T N what's the point in lying about things like this? Like why??..
I Agree just by two chains
Ive worked on regular towing but this is on another level
Pretty bad ass... I will be watching more vids... Thanks for an awesome learning experience too 😊
Its these special kinds of videos where you watch all the way through.
At midnight
Awesome video Trent !!!
You're a very good teacher and I like how you taught your new driver . I hate that Chiracio summit pass drivers just don't pay attention
great teacher with amazing patients. Trainers need to learn from this guy. Very informative video & I watched the whole thing. Great job & on the learning experience.
Crazy! Thank you for what you do, Stay safe guys!
Your a good trainer, but you also have a good student. Nice attention to safety and details. Good job.
Bonjour from montreal quebec wow your so humble in the training the young man keep up the good work stay safe!!
Great instructions and support for a newbie. Kudos to Alex, for getting his Class-A, and wanting to better himself. Don't be afraid to ask questions and work as a team. Someday you will learn something from him. Though I don't work in your profession, it builds a better team, you help each other, and ultimately everyone stays safe. Thanks again.
Awesome. I enjoyed it every bit.
You are as cool as "The Boss" ! You learned well from the master now passing it along with patience. God Bless.
I love watching you guys work. Your job requires soo much knowledge and experience, to safely and successfully complete a major task.
Really good teaching! , It is so important to teach by letting them do but also be stern on safety like leg placement. Also i love the way you ask simple questions like "what do you want me to do" which makes him think if the next step rather then you just do it yourself which would let him easily forget that step.
That's some serious power to be pulling all that weight uphill for that long. Really cool.
I drove a older International with a split axle
Was a learning curve for me as a first time ever driving a big truck rig
I'm sure it's normal for you, but it was nice to see you wearing gloves while emptying the air tank. I have a buddy who's hand is full of shrapnel from draining an air tank without gloves, and the accident happened over 2 years ago when he was 18.
That trucker is an awesome dude
This job is so much more dangerous than we think, it's amazing how many people can't give you a bit of room to work.
Stay safe out there.
