I am a 73 year old great grandma and have never towed anything larger than a camp trailer, but I love watching your channel even tho I know nothing about this, I feel like I’m learning and love your “self effacing” humorous comments. Keep up the good work.
74 years old nurse retired 8 years now. Drove from Oregon to San Antonio, again, this past weekend, to visit the grandkids. Love my solo road trips. Always enjoy Casey’s videos and watch every one. I hope I can get over to central Oregon from the valley one of these days to help with a forest cleanup
Casey, don't they have some led lights that may not impact the cars passing by, but keep you safe seeing what you're doing? It would be pretty easy to forget a tool, too that you can't see. Digging the new set up. Pretty slick.
Nice to see you don’t have 6 million flashing lights on your rig. It is so confusing when you come upon a crash and every vehicle there is lit up like a Christmas tree especially when it’s raining. Good work Casey!!
From years of doing roadside rescues of people down steep mountain slopes my preference is old fashioned amber/yellow rotating sealed beam lights. No strobes, not ever. Those sealed beams slow cars down even before they come up on the scene. It's simple, the slowly turning lights reflect off the opposite canyon walls. Drivers coming down a twisty mountain road see those reflections and slow down before they see the SAR and EMS trucks. Even if a beam does cross directly over a driver's line of sight, the light intensity is much less than a strobe. Old tech and MUCH SAFER!
I had a cousin who was epliletic! He could hardly travel ( as a passenger) because those flashing strobe lights would cause a seizure even with medication! Lord knows even as a driver I find them very disorienting!
@@Chris-lp3dmand for us older folks, it’s so much worse with those LED strobes! I have had to put on sunglasses to get by a scene safely a couple of times!
As a certified keyboard warrior i have nothing bad to say about Casey's tow truck apparatus... it works for what is meant to work... It's not a rotator...!!! Great job casey and keep the videos coming...!!!!
@@epstiendidntkillhimself20231 true, but it's better to arrive with the load delivered INTACT.🎯😁 . speed on, ditch divers, Casey can use the work/income👍😁
@@CaseyLaDelle - I liked your Guardian Angel roadside safety lights? They're very noticeable for their small size in the night. Glad the traffic slowed and was cooperating. It can get pretty dangerous working at any roadside.
I appreciate your goals of not blocking the road and not destroying the client's equipment. Made it a bit more tricky, but you accomplished it in a very small footprint.
I know a number of people that would go full send on that trying to make it do 3 front flips in the air karate style while flinging it into the customers yard at the same time so they don't have to tow it, than ask for a million dollars for wear and tear. Excellently executed.
Dang....all these people are kinda harsh in the comments...as a small business owner I challenge all of them to go be self employed and have to purchase and operate all the equipment it takes to make a successful business. Congratulations on your 1st job completed with the new rig.
I know you prefer minimal lighting and it’s definitely easier on other drivers. When it’s dusk/dark, would you consider reflective vests for you and anyone else who is helping? Great job with the new wrecker and thank you for the explanations along the way! I especially liked the transfer at the end! Not as technical as your recovery but fun to watch. 👍👌
Like the lights setup interior lighting good not overly bright. Truck came with twin SAE class 1 strobes not a starburst light bar. Whoever set up the cones nice job also adding those battery powered cone lights for night ops good job. Few glitches but part of learning process of a new rig that is not a 100 ton rotator.
In the countryside where I lived at one time some bright spark decided to make the road signs reflective for better visibility. What this achieved, in practice, was that your headlight beams got bounced straight back into your face and blinded you. Visible is good (i.e., don't dress like a ninja), reflective not so much.
@@cjc872We have those too here. Luckily they don't really blind you (unless you put your high beams on), but it does make it nigh near impossible to see what the sign actually says. I always report those when I encounter them. Slightly related, we have a new bike shed at work. In order to save power they have sensors and lights that only go on when you are there, and the bike shed is divided into 3m / 10ft sections (it's pretty big, I'm in the Netherlands and we're a big company). Unfortunately, when it's dark and it rains, it makes it so people wearing glasses can't see anything, as they look into a black void while the only light that's on is illuminating all the droplets on your glasses. Usually this isn't a problem, as the rest of the building is also lit so you can still see stuff, but now the light from the droplets is drowning out the dimly lit details of everything else.
@@cjc872 reflective road signs street signs stop signs billboards reflective tape were developed originally in the United States by a company known as 3M (Minnesota Mineral and Mining Corporation.) late 1960 (listen to when Irish became aware of reflective signs and tape in my youth) This is a British created corporation the majority stock holders being a British Baron's family. In America individual states a control over billboards used for advertising purposes along highways. It was noted by many that very large reflective signs we're causing temporary night blindness and people were having accidents running off the road. In the early 1970s the state of Idaho was one of the first states in the United States to outlaw reflective billboards. My brother-in-law my was a senior employee of the highway department at was instrumental in getting the state to pass laws to this effect. The powers to be we're not happy with this and the British Baron would call my brother on the phone and invite him to have an all-expense-paid vacation at his castle in England. In an effort to get him relax, cercomvent state law enforcement which were highly profitable products. History of this related to me by my brother-in-law in 1972 when I spend some time doing a lot of hunting. After graduation from high school. International Maritime community since the 1970s have had a requirements for reflective tape to be on all life vest, life rings life rafts lifeboats. Learned by United States Coast Guard service; licenced small vessel captain; deep sea Merchant Sailor for 37 years. I greatly appreciate your comments inserting reflective material.
That quick hook release is nice. The variety of snatch points on the wrecker to have from a single lift site is great. Some downward pointing work lights on the boom might help. Nothing was sloppy it's called OJT. Good job.
I operated a 9055 for long time. Zach lift there’s always been just day Can ugly but their new Models with the body Is a nice looking unit. Be careful stay safe don’t cut corners.
That's a really nice rig, sir. I see that type is becoming more popular and it looks like a whole new learning curve discovering how to do different hookups with it. But as always, you'll do just fine.
Casey, it's great to see you getting back to your roots and doing what you do. I'm not sure I've heard your complete story, but as I understand, you lost everything on your move to Oregon and had to start from scratch. Way to get it done!
So happy not to "know" anything about towing, rigging, etc. I can watch and thoroughly enjoy what you do. I am amazed at how careful you are, and the satisfaction from seeing a job well done. The new truck did all you asked of it, and the recovery was successful. Bravo!
Like a kid with a new toy. I can feel the joy and pride. You put a huge amount of effort into this first job. Years of work in hot, cold, wet, dry, night and day. All of the small jobs that got you this big, big first of more than you could count jobs. Hope you are very lucky, successful and happy.
Thanks for the show. As a 76 year old retired heavy equipment operator/truck driver who started working in the construction business at 14 years old, I have watched other wrecker driver/operators do their work more than a few times. I was usually impressed with their knowledge of lifting and retrieval practices. You did a good job without any further damage to the trailer which is very important. I was impressed with all of your "accoutrements" and how you used them. I don't remember the first time I heard the term "snatch block," but it has been a favorite of mine for a long time. Question: does your wrecker have the ability to run both winches at the same time, but in the opposite direction?
My recommendation is to tell your customers to create their issues early in the morning and then call you just after breakfast. That way you can complete your job and be home at a decent time. Don't let your customers take advantage of you by having accidents etc so late in the day. They should know better.😂
Watching the newer videos and coming back to the beginning of the zacklift is crazy. Seeing the huge difference of having the yankum winch lines is more the reason of why it makes so much more sense. Also, it's awesome to see the improvement in your routine of the truck!
I like the new tool boxes. They kind of remind me of gullwing doors. The auto lights in the lids look super cool. A lot of this video was too dark, might need some more lighting in the back of the truck.
It was, but you have to consider the safety of those driving by. Bright lights on a dark highway can blind drivers and actually cause them to drive into the recovery area.
@@aliceevans3357Lights can easily be rigged to provide illumination for working and filming without blinding oncoming drivers. Even something as simple as a battery powered floodlight with a magnetic base attached to the bottom side of the boom end would work well. Casey could also wear a battery powered headlamp with a flood beam. I’m confident that he’ll figure it out. 😀
...so I guess it doesn't require a 100-ton rotator after all to do all sorts of recoveries 🤣🤣🤣... It's good to see the new rig out on the road doing Casey things. Excellent episode/video/whatever we call these things. Don't get wrapped up in your self-criticism; everything worked and the customer was served. it's all about the learning curve...
Love that rig, suggestion on tool box, a few big strong magnets to secure it in the corner, which will make it movable yet semi-permanent, and simply locking the toolbox so drawers don't come out.
That is some piece of kit Casey it looks awesome in your capable hands your going to get some serious work done with it can’t wait for future vids 🤗👍🏼👍🏼
All these born "experts" new all stuff right out of their pampers and never had to learn how to work with a new rig. This was just the perfect job to get used to the new truck. Here in Germany everyone on the street should have worn safetyvests regardless day or night. Well done and it is honest to take us with you through your learning curve. Allways great to watch your videos. P. S. It was a little dark on my screen. BUT: Nobody is perfect.
It’s so interesting watching these older videos with the heavy lift, and seeing what you end up changing or replacing. The steel cables and the pullies…
You know, the seconds it takes to put things back, every time you use it is far better than having to hunt for, loose, or having to buy new tools and equipment is time well spent. ( I wish my husband thought so). I thought everything went great. Great learning experience with the new setup. In no time you'll get a routine and the more you discover your rig's capabilities the smoother recoveries will go. Your knowledge, enginunuity and horse sense puts you way ahead of the game. Sorry for those involved in this rollover, hope everything works out for them. Stay safe and GOD bless
Its good to see you back into your element. You made it look easy, maybe with the help of movie magic, but still, you make it look good! Love the new set up
Good job Casey. That new wrecker is a phenomenal product. I recognized the area that was in the video. Approximately 12-15 miles east of Prineville. I live about 120 miles east of there.
Some 5 inch fire hose makes some great edge protection when you need to protect the customers equipment or keep things from rubbing on your new rig. It’s tough and can be readily reshaped with a utility knife on the side of the road. If you have a firehouse nearby out of service hose can be free.
As luck would have it, I paused the previous video finished it the morning, followed by this one. Neat to see how well the boxes light up at night and doors keep rain out, along with all the other functionality coming into play. The major and minor details all working together. Well done.
I'd say you did an excellent job. You'll refine your tool boxes and how everything is used. When I was in the field it was a constant on going deal. We were always looking for better ways to do things and of course new tools to do them with😁 May I suggest more lights. You can never have enough. I had 2 deep cycle batteries and a 3000 watt inverter in my van. We found led lights with magnetic bases that we could stick anywhere. And and reflective clothing ALWAYS. A vest at least. You rolled that trailer perfectly. Well done.
Used to do recovery small and large back in the 80’s. Never worked that style wrecker but if your rewind your brain a second you could have spiked and rolled where it was. Just get your rig offset like you want. Work lights on main boom and get you a few of those pole lights for that late night work. They fold up nice and you can keep ‘em charged as you sit or roll on. Good job thinking on the fly and staying safe.
Very cool set up Casey. I'd recommend using a LedLenser head lamp. It's German and not cheap but very bright and reliable. I have been using them for years. Will make night filming look like day filming.
Its a very nice setup, I do have one question for you.. would lights on the top of the boom pointing down at the work area make things easier for you to do those late day/night jobs?
I wonder what the typical hourly price is of a rotator on the job vs something more sanely priced like this setup ?. After all the customer has to pay the bill at the end of the day.
Next time you arrange to test a new rig, can you do it in the daytime so we can see better? How much did you have to pay the company to roll their flat bed so you could show off "all" the advantages of your Zack truck? Well done Casey! That was amazing!
Forgot what i was saying. so i sound dumb. lol Thats why we watch you. Youre down to earth and perfectly fine with it. Just like my punctuation is terrible this time.
Working in design, when you started a new task the room was totally quiet. As soon as you put the first line on the paper, the room was full of advice! Seems it's everywhere! Some people talk about working while others actually are out their working. Well opinions are like adam henries - everyone has one but some people just are one! LOL! That's a great rig that will give you all sorts of opportunities!
It wasn't a perfect trailer flip. Pretty good results in the end. I like how you spun the tongue under the trailer as it was damaged. Every tow you learn something, you will be rocking this rig like you've had it for years in no time!
Casey, the new unit looks like it can do the work and looking good while doing it. I know you were out in the middle of "no where" with little risk but please wear a vest or something hi-vis. It just takes one idiot to make you another statistic, please put on a vest when your "working" a call. Thanks for the share..Stay safe
Glad you got your first job with the new Zacklift Casey. Zacklift should have put some of those lights in the tool boxes on the back with on off switches so you could have work lights when you needed them. Thanks for the video.
Perhaps zacklift has some scene lighting and rear facing under-carriage lighting you could buy? Not only will it help you see in the dark, it will make you more visible to drivers & has the added benefit of being better for filming!!! Win-win-win. Stay safe Casey. Keep churning out the great content. Oh, and btw, we all know Casey is the real 'grumpy' - despite what he may nickname others :)

What you need now was a good rear spotlight .
flood light!
I was thinking the same thing. The rig is super versatile, but no rear flood lights?
Drone that follows him automatically with a spotlight.
Work lights definitely required

Nice to see you don’t have 6 million flashing lights on your rig.
It is so confusing when you come upon a crash and every vehicle there is lit up like a Christmas tree especially when it’s raining.
Good work Casey!!
My thoughts exactly!
I don't understand why the cops haven't figured that out. It's the primary reason their cars get hit at night. It's almost impossible to see anything.
From years of doing roadside rescues of people down steep mountain slopes my preference is old fashioned amber/yellow rotating sealed beam lights. No strobes, not ever. Those sealed beams slow cars down even before they come up on the scene. It's simple, the slowly turning lights reflect off the opposite canyon walls. Drivers coming down a twisty mountain road see those reflections and slow down before they see the SAR and EMS trucks. Even if a beam does cross directly over a driver's line of sight, the light intensity is much less than a strobe. Old tech and MUCH SAFER!
I had a cousin who was epliletic! He could hardly travel ( as a passenger) because those flashing strobe lights would cause a seizure even with medication!
Lord knows even as a driver I find them very disorienting!
@@Chris-lp3dmand for us older folks, it’s so much worse with those LED strobes! I have had to put on sunglasses to get by a scene safely a couple of times!

It's not a rotator...!!!
Great job casey and keep the videos coming...!!!!
😂😂😂
that's what the steering wheel is for
Nothing but "needs some work lights"
@@vuckohfc5841 - Yup, a couple of tripod lights are a huge help where there's no street lighting available.
Casey did a job with the new wrecker!
Or at least a head lamp :) (not a criticism just a suggestion)
There is always a learning curve but it looks like a very promising start for the new rig. Can't wait for more.
Owner "Your setup must be brand new"
Casey " This is the first job for it"
Owner "You're Welcome" 🤣
Funny, he didn’t even complain about it being dark 😂

You've got great situational awareness and 'on the fly' problem solving skills Casey, nice work, great to see the new rig paying for itself!
You are definitely going to have to put on some good work lights. Congratulations on your new venture.
I appreciate your goals of not blocking the road and not destroying the client's equipment. Made it a bit more tricky, but you accomplished it in a very small footprint.

May I suggest more lights. You can never have enough. I had 2 deep cycle batteries and a 3000 watt inverter in my van. We found led lights with magnetic bases that we could stick anywhere.
And and reflective clothing ALWAYS. A vest at least.
You rolled that trailer perfectly. Well done.
Used to do recovery small and large back in the 80’s. Never worked that style wrecker but if your rewind your brain a second you could have spiked and rolled where it was. Just get your rig offset like you want. Work lights on main boom and get you a few of those pole lights for that late night work. They fold up nice and you can keep ‘em charged as you sit or roll on. Good job thinking on the fly and staying safe.
I didn’t want to roll it onto a live traffic lane
@casey , 2 words---
Boom lights !
Very cool set up Casey. I'd recommend using a LedLenser head lamp. It's German and not cheap but very bright and reliable. I have been using them for years. Will make night filming look like day filming.
I don’t want it to look like daytime. Bright lights are the last thing I want when working at night.
@@CaseyLaDelle Copy that
As a local Oregon resident, thank you so much.
congrats on your new truck and first job. Looks like you need a work light to the rear and sides as the final add on.
There's a learning curve on everything, no damage and done.
Its a very nice setup, I do have one question for you.. would lights on the top of the boom pointing down at the work area make things easier for you to do those late day/night jobs?
. . and with a nice wide collar so no light escapes out sideways to blind.
Good job 😊
That job that I've just watched you do would be impossible todo without a 100ton rotator
OH WAIT
Good one! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I wonder what the typical hourly price is of a rotator on the job vs something more sanely priced like this setup ?. After all the customer has to pay the bill at the end of the day.
Wow. Now i get a better understanding of the usage of those yellow hook spots. A very well engineered piece of equipment 😊
Next time you arrange to test a new rig, can you do it in the daytime so we can see better? How much did you have to pay the company to roll their flat bed so you could show off "all" the advantages of your Zack truck? Well done Casey! That was amazing!
After a few jobs you will have a good routine! You did good on your first job and that is one cool looking wrecker truck!
Do i win a prize for being the 1million person to say you need work lights😂😂😂😂
I’m really happy for you Casey. Can’t wait to see you with grumpy doing work in this unit.
Forgot what i was saying. so i sound dumb. lol Thats why we watch you. Youre down to earth and perfectly fine with it. Just like my punctuation is terrible this time.
Working in design, when you started a new task the room was totally quiet. As soon as you put the first line on the paper, the room was full of advice! Seems it's everywhere! Some people talk about working while others actually are out their working. Well opinions are like adam henries - everyone has one but some people just are one! LOL! That's a great rig that will give you all sorts of opportunities!
Everybody start somewhere ! New equipment is new learning ! Good job !
It wasn't a perfect trailer flip. Pretty good results in the end. I like how you spun the tongue under the trailer as it was damaged. Every tow you learn something, you will be rocking this rig like you've had it for years in no time!
Yay Casey got to use his new toy, LOL! Great job!
Nicely done !! Impressive !!
I now see why this is your dream truck and all I have to say is. WOW!
Casey, the new unit looks like it can do the work and looking good while doing it. I know you were out in the middle of "no where" with little risk but please wear a vest or something hi-vis. It just takes one idiot to make you another statistic, please put on a vest when your "working" a call. Thanks for the share..Stay safe
Should be an exciting winter of recoveries with the new Wrecker.
LOVE THAT WRECKER! A REAL MASTERPIECE!
Thanks!
That truck is to pretty to use. ❤❤❤. I know you are going to buy It more toys bells and whistles. 😂😂😂.I can hardly wait to see the toys.
I'm glad you got a new truck and a new set-up and I'm glad watch your channel and have fun
Glad you got your first job with the new Zacklift Casey. Zacklift should have put some of those lights in the tool boxes on the back with on off switches so you could have work lights when you needed them. Thanks for the video.
You could always do a voiceover instead of your usual intro and I wouldn’t be any the wiser that you “forgot”to film an intro. Love the work you do!!!
Yup right after watching PEPES TOW dead lift that excavator I seen Caseys new video first wreck for the new wrecker. I'm all innn
Thank you, Casey, I really enjoy both your recovery jobs and your personality. Keep up the good work.
Casey you need a big light bar for the top of wrecker NICE UNIT Brother
Congrats on your new addition. Great idea!
That was an awesome introduction for the new wrecker. Casey, Western Star and Zacklift for the win!
I love those huge storage boxes with bright lighting on both sides of the Zacklift. Sure is a nice piece of equipment.
GOOD JOB!
Yeah, buddy, Big Boy Toys, great job the new wrecker is working well, a learning curve is to be expected---
You're pretty methodical and organized. I dig that. Impressive work sir.
I was impressed with the lights in the tool boxes.
Good job Casey, That was awesome!
May the new kit generate income and personal interest for you for many years to come!
Perhaps zacklift has some scene lighting and rear facing under-carriage lighting you could buy? Not only will it help you see in the dark, it will make you more visible to drivers & has the added benefit of being better for filming!!! Win-win-win.
Stay safe Casey. Keep churning out the great content.
Oh, and btw, we all know Casey is the real 'grumpy' - despite what he may nickname others :)
