Even down to taping the customers plate you have things figured, as usual. Always can count on a very reassuring voiced commentary from you Casey, thanks!
Having the ability to get a vehicle without keys, customer, or lockout kit are super efficient! The biggest problem I have with the rollback, as you know, is space, and load ability. Always great content, and a learning lesson for all of us tow pros!
Casey I control a car park every Sunday and you reverse park the car on your lift easier than so many people in just a small car. And don't even think about them parallel parking, which is part of the driving test in Aus. Keep up the good work.
I used to work as a mechanic and tow truck operator for a company here in MN but watching this makes me miss working on vehicles and towing vehicles... thanks for sharing bud
Casey well done again what makes your videos good is your clear speech without any “ umms and arrrs “ with good content. Well if a new truck is arriving that must mean you have changed your mind on the Ram modifications.
Always enjoy the vlogs. Haven’t run a dollie truck in many years but watching you do it takes me back to the good old days. Really looking forward to new truck reveal. Possibly a Dynamic or something similar? I guess we’ll see soon. Thx for all the great content. 👍🏻
Do a little research on "Car thieves use vin numbers" and you'll learn why lots of folks are covering theirs up now. It goes a little deeper than repo prevention. Good video. Thanks for your work.
Another great job,and video, showing the difference between the two vehicles and the row back is possibly a good 2-3 ft. longer I would think. Hope your new ride has a special safe place for Riley. Stay safe and healthy.👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
When I get fired from my heathcare job here in a few months for making my own medical choice, I plan on trying to get a job at a local tow company. I would like to get a couple years experience and then work for myself like you do. You are an inspiration.
Somewhere on RUclips I saw a video of a guy giving tips on how to not get your vehicle repossessed. It was comical to say the least. One of his tips was cranking your steering wheels hard to the left or right and that would stop the repo man from getting you. There were a couple other suggestions that were funny as well. And all of them still would've gotten him repossessed in the end if he were up for repossession.
Cars are not hard to take. I'm not even an experienced repo guy and all that stuff doesn't even slow me down. If a repo guy wants to take your car, he's taking your car
When you have to spend your day using equipment for work I think as important as efficiency is having a setup you enjoy using. Having a smile on your face and enjoying the process is better than squeezing in a bit more work in a way that doesn't make you as happy.
One of my hobbies is "running sound" for church events. I've found that if I don't try to hurry, it takes almost no more time, and I'm not exhausted at the end. Hurrying leads to mistakes; mistakes lead to delays.
another awesome video Casey! It is night time, you are filming, talking AND backing a dollied car up! Kudos man! I do cover my vin number so asshats around here can't tamper with the Jeep.
Its the same old story. 1) Don't make your payments and live in fear of the repo man. 2) Never do any maintenance and complain when it blows up. 3) Have it towed (with borrowed money) to your residence and let it sit until the apartment management company fines you. 4) Go to the buy here pay here lot and repeat. Besr case (Best is a relative term) you have been mostly on time with payments. The vehicle blows up. You have it towed to the car lot where they use it as a downpayment on a new to you ride. They don't want to lose the cash flow. Its like a lifetime warranty.
There are other areas on a motor vehicle that have vin numbers. I was going to say when you were looking for the Jeep Patriot if it had "caught of fire" the primary color would have been grey or black. Most people who are protecting privacy issues usually blot out those items.
Very smart. You start making mistakes when you go fast if you just slow down and just do it normal and walk through it like you're explaining you will get it done quicker you won't make mistakes and then you're on your way
I remember when a rollback was an optional service. Never seen many rollbacks when I was a kid in the 80's.. Every company had wheel lifts and sling wreckers. Dispatch would ask if a customer wanted a "tilt & load"..
Interesting video again: thank you for sharing! Is there no risk for you to try to tow a vehicle that might be registered by some company as being up for reposession? You're getting a new vehicle to replace the tow truck? I thought that you wanted to cut the grey truck up and turn it into a new tow truck?
Good catch! For me to see it best on my device, I have to start at 12:06 or the video decoding does not catch up, and it shows as a flitter of spots, or not at all… you ARE correct however, that it actually occurs at 12:08. Hopefully my comment helps others see your cosmic catch more easily.
Casey Ladelle you have already told us you don't do police rotations, repossessions, etc. So, I knew that title was bunk from the beginning. Great video!
I agree with you about efficiency. It's not about speed. So the way you lay your truck out matters. Plus your the only one using it. One thing I noticed and it's not a real big deal, buy why not grab both wheel/dolly straps at one time. Saves few seconds and few steps. As you get older steps matter. But 8 minutes is quick. Good job!
A big difference between a rollback and a wheel lift is the amount of work required, and the different amount of procedures. A rollback requires much less work. That may not make a difference when you are 35 years old, but when you are 65 years old you will feel it!
I ate an entire bowl of oatmeal in the time it took you to do the first recovery so it was not only nutritional but educational as well, oh and entertaining.
Watching your videos shows some differences in areas and state requirements for example where I'm at in Virginia we aren't required to run dolly straps and I haven't found a company here who carries any and in my area it's hard to find anyone who actually uses safety chains or tow lights which i don't agree with I run safety chains and lights I do agree with you I can grab anything with wheel lift and dollies even if it doesn't have wheels
"I can grab anything with wheel lift and dollies even if it doesn't have wheels." towtrucker in Atlanta does that with a rollback! (He just drags them up the deck). www.youtube.com/@towtruckeryt/videos
Those all round photos are important. My car was recovered and the door damaged by what looked like a carelessly released ratchet strap. I had photos, the recovery guy did not. Guess who paid!
Logically, with the steering locked at an angle, the wheel-lift/dolly arrangement would seem quicker. Wouldn’t the wheels try to go sideways when winching onto a roll back?
The time/speed idea, I'm tole.i should be 15-20 on/off using the detach, 25 with a tilt bed... That makes me laugh, yeah I can put a wheel loader on in 15, and excavator in 15-20. But the real point being, we have drivers that can do a detach load in "10" Are they doing it right? Your personal integrity is always a very pleasant aside.
You said about if it's a front Wheel drive not having to worry about using the dolly, last time i looked unless the vehicles in the USA are different to Australia the Hand Brake (E Brake) is on the rear wheels, which means that if you are picking it up from the front that takes care of the drive wheels but then you have a set(pair) of wheels that are still locked on... Just my 2cents worth, unless i heard it wrong (even though i listened to it more than a few times to make sure i heard it right.
@@roberthiggins1142 you don’t need the handbrake at all parking an automatic car unless on a very steep grade or with a heavy load. Does not hurt the transmission at all.
@@CaseyLaDelle Newer cars sometimes set it for you automatically. My Rav4 sets the parking brakes right after I put it in park and takes them off as I shift out of park.
I lived on a hill, learned to use the parking brake to keep pressure off the trans, occasionally, especially older cars, it's hard to get it out of park if you don't use it. But then if you never use it, it may be frozen up when needed. I always use mine, even on a level surface, keeps it in good working condition
Don't be a repo guy & you won't have to worry about it...😉 I'd rather have the wheel lift/dollies...more versatile....no need for the car's wheels moving...
"Mom/Dad is tow truckers strange people? No not in particular, why? One of them are in the lot talking to himself the whole time. Ah, no he is a influencer, they are harmless"
Was tricked by Agero into a repo back in 2020. Left Portland, hooked in Bend and dropped in Beaverton. Found out when I dropped it that it was a repo....was still a nice $1,350 run.
Is that Jeep up for repo, or is it just being stolen? "Oh sorry Mr. Tow Truck Man, I forgot to leave the keys. It's my Jeep, honest!" "Please tow it to my cousin's garage. Fat Tony's. You'll know him when you see him."
Funny thing is among the many things I’ve done in my life, I did repo cars for about two years and it sucked. Came close to getting hurt a few times but I’ll leave it at that. I love seeing your channel grow but why don’t you have end screens? Just leave 20 seconds of blank space if you want the easiest way and it takes like 10 seconds to create an end screen which can get you more views. I was actually expecting an end screen thumbnail that would lead me to the video showing the replacement truck but nothing popped up.
@@CaseyLaDelle go watch the last 20 seconds of any of my videos. That’s the end screen and it’s just another chance for you to get viewers to watch another one of your videos which is real important to RUclips. I’ll be glad to help you if you have any other questions.

customer probably did that so that the repo guy couldnt see the plate.

Also you need way more room with a rollback versus a wheel lift. Dang near 1.5 bed lengths to load and unload. So parking lots suck!

I used to love goin with the old man on repo runs. Back in the day yeah we've had our back windows shot out, my side of the truck had buckshot in it

love sling and dolly setup ran 1948 dodge truck in 1967
Thanks Casey 😎
Interesting video again: thank you for sharing!
Is there no risk for you to try to tow a vehicle that might be registered by some company as being up for reposession?
You're getting a new vehicle to replace the tow truck?
I thought that you wanted to cut the grey truck up and turn it into a new tow truck?

I drive these 2 type of truck. Without dolly I do it in 3 minutes. I totally agree with you. But if need to travel far the roll back is better.
I feel the opposite. The longer the trip the more the wheel lift wins for me. I'd much rather spend all day in a pickup than a rollback
Smooth is fast and fast is smooth - Professional 👍🏻😜 and your very smooth
A big difference between a rollback and a wheel lift is the amount of work required, and the different amount of procedures. A rollback requires much less work. That may not make a difference when you are 35 years old, but when you are 65 years old you will feel it!
In theory, a guy in a wheelchair could operate a rollback.
@@dubious6718 Right, he will get under the car and hook up the winch...
Going back through some old videos. I forgot all about this truck...lol

Lady : i tape the vin so repo guy can't take it.
Repo Men : Amateurs.
Can't wait for the new truck video.
Yeah, I was wondering if that was what she was trying to do? I can't picture her spending the money to repair her motor, if it's up for repo?
Thank you so much for your videos and stuff but watch your back and be careful cause that repo stuff is no joke
I don't repo
Taping the VIN is not that all uncommon. Years ago there was a scam with thieves getting the VIN then going to the dealer and having a key cut
Those all round photos are important. My car was recovered and the door damaged by what looked like a carelessly released ratchet strap. I had photos, the recovery guy did not. Guess who paid!
We have lots of potholes that are deeper than 4"...🤣🤣🤣
Plus a roll back is a much longer vehicle that needs maneuvered into place that it may not be easy or fit.
Great video as always x
🔥🔥 love it bro
Imagine a rollback with the combo of a wheel lift mechanism ?
Most rollbacks have a wheel lift.
Casy, what were the three people on bikes doing around that parked car in the background?
It looked like they were scoping it out.
Logically, with the steering locked at an angle, the wheel-lift/dolly arrangement would seem quicker. Wouldn’t the wheels try to go sideways when winching onto a roll back?
Yep
🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 are for the great video.
I looked awhile back, but couldn't find the video where you made the mounting system on the dolly wheels... which one has that in it?
My personal opinion is don’t sell that truck! Build the Ram the way you want but I think you should keep the Ford.
The time/speed idea, I'm tole.i should be 15-20 on/off using the detach, 25 with a tilt bed...
That makes me laugh, yeah I can put a wheel loader on in 15, and excavator in 15-20. But the real point being, we have drivers that can do a detach load in "10"
Are they doing it right?
Your personal integrity is always a very pleasant aside.
A great video What goes on when you do a repo.
But you couldn't do Heavy Rescue and Recovery with the little unit so you have a roll back?
Have seen a few rollbacks not use straps, or at most use one strap.
Maybe they strap it when camera is turned off, but I doubt it.
You should get a custom plate with magnets like MORR does to cover the plates.
Everything Autos in Gatlinburg, TN does so too. (But not always).

Okay come down here to AJ Arizona and try hahaha to repo my Honda Element by the way it's a 2003 and it's paid for LOL but I love your videos.!
Looking forward to see what your new truck will be. Are you still building out the dodge the way you want or will the new truck nix those plans?
Yes, still building the Dodge
Your seven minutes into this video claiming 4 minutes. At seven minutes I'd be about inside my rollback, getting going.
Isnt the vin on the talights and other parts visible from outside. Pretty sure it is.
Really like all the legits in
that's 12;40 way to go

Piece of cake with a roll back done it in Denver at shopping malls at Christmas time 😂🤣 might piss some people off for blocking them in 🤣🤣🤣
I worked tow for a bit and ya that stinger is like a swiss army knife if you know how to unfold it.(the stories)
I noticed there are two black trucks next to each other, did you tow the correct truck ??
Gates are good 👍🏻
I had a 07 jeep patriot 2.4l and I would never recommend them to anyone. We lost out on quite a few grand because of an electrical issue

"Please tow it to my cousin's garage. Fat Tony's. You'll know him when you see him."

Hey Casey, I sure enjoy your vids,
Maybe you should have saved the repo man a trip and delivered it to the impound yard instead!
For the right price....
Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast…
wait Casey did you forget the tape lol
I absolutely did and I'm sure it's going to confuse the shit out of that lady in the morning lol
Im a flatbed kid for sure,
I think it's kinda bad, if the people know the repo man by sight. I wouldn't know him if he bit me on the ass.
It's pretty obvious in Oregon. Repo tow trucks don't have names or DOT numbers on the side. Non repo trucks do
People who think that twisting the tires will stop your car getting towed.
