  • I don't want to bash on or talk negatively about this particular driver, but this is a perfect case of how to do everything wrong. A lot happened before I even turn the camera on, but between not following directions, walking blindly into traffic, walking behind my wrecker as I'm backing up, calling multiple tow companies, purposely ignoring chain laws, and complaining about the price that you had already agreed to.. I had no patience on this job. It was basically a textbook example of how to put yourself in a bad situation, and make everything more difficult.

    What I liked most about this video is how well it illustrates Casey’s lighting concept. Starting from the rotating orange to how well it lights up the work area. And the contrast between the areas around the tow truck and the customer truck and the passing vehicles shows how well this is thought out.

      Also notice that there was never lens flair on the camera from the work lights on my truck. All of them are pointed down so that their direct light beam goes to the ground, and the work area is lit with indirect lighting that doesn't blind oncoming traffic with wet windshields. I spent a lot of time at night walking around that truck and adjusting lights

    That's the sort of customer you really don't need. Reminds me of a video that went viral in the UK when a recovery guy turned up to change a tire. Not only did the customer try to cancel the entire job, but the tow company driver refused to fit the tire but still left it with them for someone else to fix. The customer ended up climbing up in the recovery guy's truck, and then walked in the busy traffic lanes o to try to stop him leaving. It just escalated down from good intent to bad intent. I've always thought that being rescued is a privilege, not a right.

    It comes down to the age-old triangle of Speed, Quality and Cost. Can only have 2. To show up and have him out in 15 min and not damage or affect his situation in any way ticks the Speed and Quality mark so with that comes Cost. With Casey's knowledge, expertise and equipment you can expect top notch service, but it comes at a cost (as it should). Pick your worth. Go cheap and have another vehicle stuck with you and potential damage to the tractor. Pretty simple.

One semi gets stuck in the right lane and the next guy pulls out to pass and gets stuck right next to the first guy!

    Casey, that was a dangerous job! I'm glad nobody got hurt!
    It's gotta be difficult for you do get argument about agreed prices. I'm certain you know that in many other countries people expect to bargain for everything. It's often a matter of pride for them, you bargain or you're a chump. Even so, in your place I'd be agitated too! You'd think they'd learn what a quote means and honor it. No blame here for anything you did.
    You kept your head on a swivel and got the job done without anyone getting hurt. Good for you!

    One of the mechanic shops I use always has trouble with drivers that are not from this country. Every time they are quoted a price and then refuse to pay. The shop just hangs the keys back on the wall and calls the next customer. After a half hour or so, they come to their senses.

    As a tech, i've heard the whine of people crying over prior agreed to cost more than anything else. You're paying for the experience not the amount of time it took me to use that experience. Now, when someone pisses me off. Then it's. You see that over there (points to triple banked hutched tool box) do you have thousands of dollars of your own tools to fix your problem? No, that's why you came to me. IDGAF to fire a customer, not all money is good money and with a shortage of people as skilled as me in my field, i'm never out of work.

    I get why you were explaining why you were talking to the guy in a stern voice, the part I don't understand are the people who dont understand that that is how you have to talk to some people to get their attention and get them to do what is needed at the time. It has never bothered me if someone is barking orders during tense situation because I understand the gravity of the situation. things can go south very quickly and I dont suffer fools who can get me or someone else hurt. I give respect until someone shows they dont respond to it. Years ago I worked at a ski resort and on the way home I pulled a woman out of the snow bank who had been going too fast. before I could get my straps put away she sped off. this was long before yankum, ( I sure would have loved to have them). a mile down the mountain I found her in the snowbank again. she was in a minivan with front while drive and cables on the tires, but she was just driving too fast. I had told her to slow down but she didn't listen.. so I just waved as I drove past her. she could wait and pay a tow guy.

    we deal with these drivers at my work, i work in heavy steel here in Canada , we had 2 in one week not listen to our shipper and the driver proceeded to back into our loading dock uninstructed to do so, he was told to wait in his truck , so while backing into our dock he hit the corner of the building knocking down a camera and tried again taking out the guard rail on the north side, 40 feet of guard rail, i told him to stop and get out of the dock and he got upset i didn't give a shit and had 2 other trucks scheduled to be loaded in there, he was finally out and said he did not damage the area , then i showed him the footage from another camera angle, still denied it, i called his dispatcher and said this guy is never allowed back on our property at any time, he doesn't listen and lied to our faces when confronted with video evidence, so we had our insurance company come out to assess the damage and it did not look like much $35000 and our insurer launched an investigation and found this driver responsible for 4 other such issues with 4 other companies and they had promised to fire the driver and never did replace him until we went to sue the company who refused to pay damages after a letter of agreement was signed by the manager of operations, these people need to held accountable for their actions, get into another industry, leave the driving to those who will listen or move back home , your just endangering the lives of people around you
