  • Hey guys! This was an accident we worked recently, where a Ram 3500 pulling a car carrier, loaded with a 2022 Ford F-250, lost control, and rolled over on a bridge.
    Thankfully the driver was uninjured.

    I don’t know who Donny is to you but I can’t say that I liked him at all, he lacked the ability to see the angles & predict what the Ford truck was going to do, his only good call throughout that stage of the recovery was about the Ford truck being caught on the guard rail.
    His pulling angle was all wrong & he was mostly dismissive of any ideas other than his own.
    The last major annoyance of this particular job was the guy in red, getting under your feet & trying to tell you how to do the job !
    Still it all got sorted out, great assistance & advice from you Dustin, you are the kind of people I enjoy working with.

      @@Towtruck_Dustin It would suck for the vehicle he slid into, but as for damages, he would have been better off keeping it straight and sliding straight into another vehicle. You can tell by the way his rig and trailer landed that he wasn't going very fast when it rolled over, so If he had just locked the brakes and kept it straight I don't think he would have hit another vehicle that hard. Maybe 20 to 25mph. and doing that just the RAM would have been damaged. Well, and the vehicle he would have hit, But when it comes to spit-second actions, most of the time the body reacts and tries to turn and avoid hitting anyone else. Just glad nobody was hurt, that's what matters most.

    Well done, I was happy to see you take charge & reroute the snatch block to the pass. side & shorten the snatchblock chain.. I was literally talking to my computer screen saying What are you doing? when he rigged with the snatch on the close drivers side & left the chain long.. that was bad enough.. then he raised the boom & literally put the pull point right back where it was when straight off the boom sheave...chain it short & pull low.... BTW... when ya get one that slides & doesn't wanna grab to roll... sometimes a simple floor mat under a tire will give enough to grab until the rubber sidewall catches.. but if the roads are icy & there's nothing to bite... take a chain and zigzag it in front of the tires on the pavement... when you apply even a little pull, it makes the tire sidewall bite into the chain links & starts to transfer slide into downward grip until the tire grabs.... simple but effective. Another trick to control the pull angle...since you had one winch line fail during this...down to a single line pull... if you have a chain bridle rigged up on the vehicle to a single winch point.... if you need to keep the winch hook in a certain place instead of "skipping" to the side of the chain bridle as ya pull.... take the grab hook from a chain & hook it into the bridle you're hooked to... then the winch can't pull past the grab hook & allows the pull to stay where you want it...allows you to steer/direct your pull... all with single line

    Years ago, early 80’s, a deputy saw a set of tire tracks in the dewy grass at either that bridge or the one closer to Freeport. They went off the road before the guard rail. No brakes. Divers found that car, and 3 or 4 under it in the canal. Solved several old missing persons that day.
    I lived there from ‘79 to ‘85. I just saw your video on buying Casey’s truck and was curious what beach you were speaking to Rory about. As much as I despised that town in the 80’s. I have often found myself home sick and visited when I could.

You never know until you tried to them while they are just driving down the hwy. I do understand wreckers. Also would be fine with red and blues on while actively working in a construction zone. I think people are less likely to yield when every vehicle out there has red and blues. Just my thoughts. I also used to be a paramedic in OKC. Couldn't get people to move no matter what.

      Not really the heavy of a pull, Pickup probably weighs 7-8k, trailer maybe 4 or 5 let's say somewhere between 10-15k for both together, Flipping it requires you to pull half of its weight so 5-8k pull. Wrecker probably weighs around 15 by itself so with the brakes locked it can pull 10k easily without sliding, winches will do probably 16-18k together with single lines.

    The roll over occurred because he put the F250 too high on the trailer. It was a 4 wheel drive, lifted I think, and he put it over the bed of the Ram. He should have put the F250 low on the trailer. That was too much weight, too high in the air and on a gooseneck ball that pivots. Recipe for a roll over. When he made a turn, the F250 took the entire rig over.

    I never understood why people would think it’s smart to load these big trucks up front dude was empty he could’ve easily put it near the rear of the trailer which would’ve decreased the probability of the truck flipping that F250 is in a dangerous location to heavy to be on the nose of that trailer plus that truck is getting so much air that’ll bring your MPG down too

      The snatch block wasn’t there to add pulling capacity, it was used as a redirect to get a lower pull.

  • @towtruckaj
    @towtruckaj Год назад

    Those small wreckers are a pain in the ass with no outriggers to have low pulls, It may not be recommended by all but my recommendation would be to get a 4 or 6 foot strap and wrap it around the boom of the wheel lift and plant the wheel lift on the ground then hook a snatch block to that strap and you'll have a much lower pull.

    • @Towtruck_Dustin
      @Towtruck_Dustin  Год назад

      It’s against manufacturer recommendations to set the wheel lift down while winching, as the booms are made to flex. Stopping it from moving can cause the boom to snap.

    When rolling the truck the trailer was carrying, why did the tow truck operator park beside the yellow middle line instead of further to the other side of the road. Where he was, he was trying to drag the truck forward and not simply pull from the top and roll it onto its wheels. He had the whole road, and he should have parked more square on with the vehicle, not almost 90 degrees to, and 10 yards in front of it. As it was it took 3 separate hook ups instead of just the one.
    See they way they finally rolled it over, thet truck was square to the vehicle, and it was as simple as 2 hooks over the frame and pull it. He originally parked the tow truck in the worst position. I hope he learns from this. Poor operator.
