@@josef5319 Not always how that works, I'm in the towing and recovery business, And first off not everyone pays for tows or recoveries, we are often left with junk vehicles that aren't paid for in our normal work and we don't even break even after scrapping some, others we do break even, some we make a hell of a profit off of because they left us a car that we could actually sell or fix up and sell and it was worth it, but in our normal work sometimes we are left unpaid and out some money. Outside of our normal work some of us do decide to help our community in little or big ways without pay, First that comes to mind is charity events and things of that nature, Our company has blocked roads for numerous events for our community, Our company assisted when trump once came to our town, our truck stayed on standby for the police and secret service incase they needed a vehicle moved, Our truck has also supported a specific charity for a fallen police officer for years now and we all have his badge number on our trucks have for years, we have donated to said charity, And I do believe we have used our truck to assist in a few charity events although I am not sure, We have not been and never expected to be paid for any of those... Next, a few of us operators help people we find who have problems on the side of the road or at gas stations, parking lots, etc and we help them out despite the fact that w were not called out, and sometimes it actually ends up biting us in the ass... I have done a jumpstart for a guy at a gas station, I've done a lockout for a guy at walmart, I've sat on the side of the road and helped a guy cut down a stuck spare tire and get back on the road, I charged for none of those, A local company we have a good relationship with stopped recently to help a guy get his car out of the road with a jump pack, He told the guy he could pull into a nearby lot with the jump pack to get him out of the road as his alternator died, and the guy took off on him with his jump pack, That is a good example of it biting us in the ass, Despite that fact I still help my community pretty often free of charge in addition to my normal work that I do charge for. Don't come spreading hate not all tow companies do but some of us do good for our community without expecting pay out of the kindness of our hearts.. Now I don't know whether jamie was paid for his actions in this video, I don't know if any of his employees got paid for their actions in this video, What I do know is he didn't have to do what he did but he did so anyway, that is respectable, And if he got paid so be it, Although i'm not real sure who would have paid in this situation, Idk about canada but police departments in the US don't pay for any work outside of work for their own vehicles and work that goes to their facilities, Otherwise customer or insurance pays, And seeing as I don't see him billing each person as they cross like it's a toll bridge i'm going to go ahead and say no one paid for that.
Anyone would be proud to have Jaime in their area. The tow trucks I dealt with, as a truck driver , are dirt bags of the highest level. Jaime seems like a straight up nice guy.
@robbie G It's almost as if not all companies are the same.. First off my company for example doesn't do unrequested tows other than impounds in which case you already fucked up to the point where it's your fault you got impounded, We don't do private propery impounds, We don't do repos, As for a normal tow our fees are very low compared to what you listed, 75 to load 3.50 a mile, plus tax, Impound storage fees is 25 per day, If you leave it in our lot that's your choice but youre also on the hook for additional storage fees, We don't have a gate fee either... Now tell me why we should all go to hell because you had 1 bad experience with 1 company in a completely different area? Oh yeah I forgot you are an idiot.
I'm retired from the Towing industry but I personally thank you for thanking us good, decent owner operators and hired operators. For myself it was always about helping people at the worst of times on the side of a roadway..
This is why we all love Jamie davis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Including my deceased mother we would talk for hours on the phone 4 years ago before she pasted.....30 miles away...
Love a person who thinks outside the box as you did here. Doesn't matter if the service was paid for or not as the end result was people who were struck were able to get across a dangerous washout. I miss so damn much being involved in the Towing industry as a small time owner operator.
I see a lot of ignorant comments, Now I have no way of being sure so I won't comment that i'm 100 percent sure he was or wasn't paid for this, as everyone else should, you make comments like that when you are certain to which none of you can possibly be without sources outside of this video to which no one has provided, Now to the question of whether or not he was paid... I'd add by who, Who exactly would have paid for this? I don't see him billing the cars as they pass as if it's a toll bridge so that counts them out, Idk about canada but in the US police don't pay for anything outside of work for their fleet or tows to their facilities, That leaves insurance companies, And idk what insurance company would ever pay for a guy to place a lowboy as a bridge for a bunch of people with different insurance companies, So personally, I believe he was paid nothing due to my experience, But i guess you all know something the rest of us don't, Which honestly I don't believe especially seeing as some of the comments are being negative to all tow companies due to personal 1 time experiences with 1 company, Seems a lot of ignorance is flowing through the comments here, So just let me know who paid for this...
Why does it matter if Jamie was compensated? I don't understand why anyone would care. I guess that's where their minds are. Because the police (RCMP) were in scene, it is possible that Jamie was called. That's a remote road and it is possible that those stranded people called for assistance (if they had cell coverage). It is possible under extreme circumstances such as human life safety that the province will reimburse Jamie. SAR is mostly donation funded, however, when it's a provincially maintained road, that changes things. There's probably $5000 job there. Did he get paid? Unknown. But I speculate that he didn't just happen on the scene. He was most likely called to assist. Now there is one way to know for sure. Let's ask him. LoL. I'm sure that it's an interesting story that people like myself would like to hear. Incidents like this are always the biggest challenges with the best storeys.
This is the 3rd comment within only the top 8, someone thinking this shit was done out of the pure generosity and kindness of this guys loving heart... what’s wrong with you guys. He likely made a killing on this job. Nothing is free
helping those in need in times of non road side emergency is what we emergency workers do ...paychecks its just paper when its a nature's emergency ..its the knowledge we know people are safe is what matters
@@HiThisIsMine in times of emergencies like flooding etc its only a piece of paper i use to work in the Emergency Service .... i worked ground zero in NYC i didnt care bout a paycheck for that time ...
Your actions don’t create a standard. Just because you donate your time sometimes doesn’t mean that others do, nor does it imply that this is what happened here. My main objection is when you see a bunch of replies assuming this was done for free, when there is absolutely zero evidence proving this.
That's something a U.S. Navy Seebee (One of my WW2 vet. uncles). Or an army combat engineer would do. "Adapt, improvise, overcome"! From Chicago. U.S.A.

@@gsettlemyre building one is pretty quick, finding the right amount of pipes would be the main issue, i didnt say it was superior to this method but just an alternative. pipe fascines last forever pretty much since water runs through it

Sir Jamie & ALL !!! Thanks for airing this as wouldn't have seen on TV !!! Wishing EVERYONE Happy Holidays & waiting to see more on your Channel as the USA doesn't air the new ""HIGHWAY THRU HELL"" anymore only the OLD ONES !! ""KEEP IT SAFE ""
MR JAMIE DAVIS INSTALLED FLATBED ON RIVER FOR TRAFFIC TO GO . BRAVO . OUR GM PUTS HIS ITALIAN SUIT ON AND HE EVEN DOSENT ALLOW US TO SEE HIM . HE THINKS HE IS EMPIRE OF CANADA , USA AND MEXICO COMBINED !
Whether he was paid or not isn't the issue here. What matters is he supplied a solution to help stranded people. How else would they have got across that washout? You don't just magic up a bridge out of nowhere that can take the weight of vehicles in a short space of time.
Brandon Caldwell I believe thats what the rollback was for, they drove the cars up on the trailer and then had the rollback reach over the axles with the bed and loaded them to get them across. All those vehicles made it across that day
The Burntfields state patrol says that Makayla said that there was a Toyota Corolla and said that revelstoke said that Attala authorities were notified of a car Fire on Attala Road 5101
I would of just fixed the road with the excavator and grader on site. The rotator could of dropped in the colvert but the excavator can do the same. Another crew is going to have to fix everything anyway.
You are the man Jamie. Great idea and helping those people to get across there means alot to them and so many people. I absolutely love your show. Stay safe out there.
Really wish American Discovery would bring this back... best show they’ve got!
Doesn't "The Weather Channel" air them now?
Alex Tran yeah, but the only way I can get twc is if I pay an outrageous amount for cable.... I use Hulu tv now
This is what happens when your heart is bigger than your wallet. Awesome job Jamie!
Very cool Jamie. Shows what's really important to you.
Peter Thomas lol he’s was getting paid for this
Im sorry your innocent soul is not aware of how things work.
Sure...the people that crossed wont pay but SOMEONE will pay, heavily, for this.

I wanted to see a little car go over it, all they showed where pickup trucks. The cars probably would have bottomed out and ripped there bumpers off.
Thats why they didnt allow cars you fool.
Brandon Caldwell I believe thats what the rollback was for, they drove the cars up on the trailer and then had the rollback reach over the axles with the bed and loaded them to get them across. All those vehicles made it across that day
So no culvert and backfill in the area.
I'm sure if there was they would have utilized them! It's easy to armchair quarterback! Mother nature is a tough one!
This would have been much quicker to throw in place. Culverts are a lot of work and would take days to install.
And in addition that waters moving imagine trying to anchor it all up at that speed.
Perfect quick temp solution
