The mountains so close in the background remind me of a family members home in Eldorado CC, it's directly across the street from the mountains. Just beautiful.
I was in Eldorado last week. Back home in Oklahoma now. I recognize that empty lot and picnic table, have walked daily walks around it. It's going to be very hot in your area real soon. I think last year was a high of 122 -124 degrees. I don't know how the year around residents make it through such hot summers. Stay hydrated, and of course you're used to it. Be safe.
I don't usually criticize other operators but for future reference you should not pickup and haul by the longsills of the dumpbody. You probably should've forked the tube that ran under the hitch tube.
all ways enjoy your ride alongs with you trent. love when you do the driving and let off the jake break omg music to my ears in my headphones :D thanks buddy all the way from australia (sydney)
When securing the steering wheel, would it be easier to attach both strap hooks to the base of the seat (or to the brake pedal as you did here) rather than trying to get one hook to stay connected by the wheel?
If it was a standard semi truck the base of the seat would have been easily doable but in this case there was no base to go to. Brake pedal was the only option unfortunately
Ecko Black Tire Thumper. Used to check tire pressure. A properly inflated tire makes a different sound as compared to a low tire, also bounces back differently. Obviously not as accurate as a pressure gauge but good enough to detect a low tire.
I know drivers that can set pressures within a couple of pounds with a thumper. My thumper* now lives in the kitchen for crushing store-bought ice. *wooded dowel with a steel weight on the end
Dual tires have the ugly having one of a pair (the inner one more often Duals have the nasty habit (the inner one more often than not) going flat in a non-obvious way. At 70 mph the flat gets very hot and explodes. Common sense and the law require they be checked periodically and unless you are deaf, the thumper is an accurate and fast way of checking 16 tiresn more accurate that most in hose gauges and a lot of pocket gauges.
Laurence Sheldon That's actually called Tactical Parking and makes for quick egress from your parking spot so you can leave quickly . Being I'm a US Marine Veteran I park like that all the time it's easier and quicker for me to do this
The way it was chained down secured the forks toward the metal on the rear of the truck and provides downward pressure to keep it from lifting out of the forks. Only way it would slide is if there were no chains but there absolutely was. Thanks for watching!
Brought to mind something I would see when I was driving.
I used to see flatbeds with a toy grader or something strapped on the deck.
Great job Trent God bless And is always be safe
Trent always does a good job on the videos.
Another great video and good job.

Always enjoy your videos Trent, thank you. Be Safe ok👍👍
Awesome video you are great at what you do
Thank you for your videos
I love all your video and you sweet truck. Someday my job. Will have a 50 ton wrecker. And I'll be able to drive and operate
Great video Trent

I’ve seen the piece you are taking about break far more times than the plane where I hooked it. Thank you for the comment

I just started towing in Nov doing heavy haul. I love it! So much to learn and take in!
As always sir, great video.
"I don't have any science for that." I like that.
Actually, you DO have science for your opinion.
Another awesome vid Trent, keepm coming maaayyynnee!
Great job enjoyed it
nice simple one!
I love your videos.
Miracle truck-dead battery, but it starts.
Good video
Cool
Damn 100°
Great video. Just wondering, inside the box with the forks on the back of the truck, what is the control buttons for?
Thomas Blackburn for the under reach I presume

That was an easy hook and book no crawling around on ground and messing with driveshaft. Does your truck not have a place for chains in the bed?
It does have a spot but I removed it because it scrapes the chrome. Thanks for watching!
olá Trent como se chama este aparelho de sinalização que você coloca na frente do caminhão em verde
Why do you have a base ball bat in where your forks are ???

To thump....
Cool video and tow this is so cool and also why do you have to kick the tires?
Ken AMac ok thanks.
Did you see him kick the rear wheel three different time st see of the brakes stop the wheel from spinning (fails twice).
What did you do to hurt yourself. I hope it feels better. You and your industry have a commendable focus on safety, based on video-watching.
Porque é colocado essa corrente comprida entre o caminhão e o guincho
And are you guys hiring for wrecker/flatbed drivers?
Where did the key go it was on the seat when you started and was not there when dropped the truck off
The shop owner wanted to see if it started so it was in the ignition. Good eye! Thanks for watching!
Why did you get it from the rear and not the front? Just wondering
Avoid pulling the driveshaft. Saves the guys at the shop some time and is a little faster to hookup
Thanks for the reply
How's the arm after you hit it with the door ??
Honestly bruised lol. Thanks for watching
I'm not sure but I think you were a bit over loaded.
Hey even a heavy wrecker needs a light day now and then
Do you enjoy the small talk
Why do so many people park nose out?

Also so you can see what's coming so you don't back out into traffic like the white car did.
Where u out the axle fork the truck will slide back and forth

Plaza Towing ok thank you love your videos and your truck
