Everyone NEEDS a high visibility vest. I have one in my pickup trucks. Cones, truck to warn was nice addition. A rotating light for pickup would be a good addition. Just magnet mount.
Several different things going on here. Utmost respect for Casey for not only listening to thoughts/feedback from others, but huge, huge kudos for being willing to show Ethan the various procedures and methods of recovery. I think it's awesome for more than one reason - it's always nice to have someone available as a backup, and his being able to help rig and un-rig is priceless. This also increases Ethan's awareness of the risks involved, which actually makes it safer for both of them since it's always a benefit to have a second set of eyes when you are operating in the situations that wreckers are necessary in. Knowledge is a good thing, and Casey is an excellent teacher!!
Glad to see Ethan getting training on doing more work, always was curious when you did everything and he just filmed. Seemed there was some things he could easily help with.
@@CaseyLaDelleyeah I get that but a few times there was a chain to unhook or rope to release and he was next to it. Seemed it would be even better for him to do it while recording then move so you could. Love the content though, been binge watching since I just found your channel about a month ago
@@michaelbolin8841 Yeah, it's a winning formula like Fab Rats involving Hunter more in the actual fabrication work makes him even better as a cameraman too.
I was never interested in the big rig recovery, I was fascinated by the smaller off road recoveries you did, especially in the snow. I did put to use some of the things I learned from watching you and MORR into action when I was out 4WD in the Brindabella Ranges near Canberra (Australia) and recovered a ute (pick up) that had rolled and got it on it's wheels. When you went to the big rigs and got the big tow truck and assembly, I was losing a bit of interest as it's not my thing, but I have been converted - it is fascinating to see your problem solving and how amazing that set-up you have works so well. It's a great team you have built as well. Great content!
Agreed, no auto chains in his area is like having no insurance on you truck, I am a flatlander in Canada ,although we don't get huge amounts of snowfall each winter ,we do get the extreme cold and very icy roads all winter long and i believe in good quality snow tires and drive out of town everyday for work and they have been the difference of getting there safely versus the boys in the 4x4's with summer tires in the ditch thinking they are invincible ,
@@99unclebobon the ambulance we had a saying that 4x4 helps you go but doesn't help you stop. Also 4wd can get you unstuck from 2wd and you will need outside help if you get 4wd stuck. A winch seems to be the outside help missing from most 4wd trucks.
I love you for teaching your employee a skill that will make him a more skilled partner someday. Guidance and listening and letting him do the work without any real consequences of it didn't work.
Looks like training Ethan is working out pretty good, and having a traffic control vehicle is a smart move, because we all know how stupid certain ignorant individuals are when they are driving even though they don't know how to drive to begin with
I saw on Facebook that Edison came out with a sleeper mock up for the production trucks , add auto chains and powered front axle then slap the genesis on the back , the 4900 is a great rig but having 6x6 capability would be awesome
Having a " friend" plus co-worker as in Ethan is a Great combination! Also the neighbor Mr. [Wilson, Tim Allen Toolman] Grumpy your Group is outstanding !!!!
Thought you said winter was over let me give you a little hint from living in central Oregon for 33 years late January early February we get a false, spring around the second week of February winter comes back with a vengeance. You don’t expect spring till the fourth weekend of April which is usually the opening of trout season because it always snowed on opening a trout season. And Summer till after the sisters rodeo
It was suppose to be a PLAY day in the new truck, including Riley, but then a "job" came in! 🙃 They eventually got back on track! Grumpy came home HAPPY! Mrs G
It's always good to have another person that knows how to run the equipment. If things go sideways, they might be the one to save the day and possibly your life especially where you operate.
I like ole Grumpy!! We had a neighbor in PA whose name was I think Harry Gromley. My sisters made friends of he & his wife. They called him “Grump Lump.” He was a really cool ole man.
Good job Casey! My only concern was Grumpy needed a nice Safety jacket and Ethan needed a better safety vest and or jacket. I worked in the roads of Utah and I know how dangerous other drivers are. I worked at UDOT and am retired.
Great Team Work Love how you give your version of recovery, then ask the others for their opinion.. respect. Of course, Grumpy always does a great job.
The driver did a great job following directions. I agree with other commenters, Grumpy should have a Hi-Vis vest! Makes him part of the team, which he is, and for his and team safety! Ethan is “very sharp” and picks up what you teach him quickly. Love that you are teaching him, the more minds you have working the problem the better! Thank you for passing on your knowledge to the next generation. Keep that safety truck by any means necessary…. snag it with the ZackLift if needed to keep it 😂
Nicely done Casey,Ethan and Grumpy a well honed team, the driver was glad to have you get him out, i feel for him, we just had multiple days of freezing drizzle , then melting snow back to -23 celsius up to above freezing again yesterday for about 10 days in a row, just earlier than usual for work to avoid all the traffic, great video team 👍 Casey Ethan has become an asset to you
It's great to watch Ethan being mentored by Casey👍It's adding a completely new deminsion to the channel, not to mention Casey having the option of sending Ethan out on solo jobs, perhaps in the smaller wrecke
Out of all the TOW shows on TV, you are the first to use those type of Ivertool pins. It makes sense to have it connected to both tow pins then just pull from the one.
Nice recovery bar on the front of that semi. That'll really keep the frame of the semi from getting jacked up by pulling on only one frame rail. Good job Casey!
Hey Casey! Always glad to see Grumpy tagging along. But seriously give that man a camera. I know it's more editing, but just my thought. And yes I like where you are taking the Ethan project, it's good to see the wanting to learn and your knowledge and willingness to help carry another lost experience! Thank you for all you do!
Not the first time Ethan has come out with a good idea on where to hook and where to pull from. He clearly has a good mind for angles. He's a keeper. So please explain where he's from and how he came to join you
Wonder if Ethan knows he just Eye Candy for Casey's pathetic attempt to manipulate the female demographic 😂
😂
Holy shit you sound like a tool
I thought that is what Grumpy was for.
@@57WillysCJ You could be on to something 😂
'introducing the 2024 Ethan and Grumpy calendar....'
You need to give grumpy his own hi viz vest with your logo on it with grumpy on the back. 😂
Agreed
@deadman0235 Ditto
Grumpy hates Casey LaDelle.
Everyone NEEDS a high visibility vest. I have one in my pickup trucks. Cones, truck to warn was nice addition. A rotating light for pickup would be a good addition. Just magnet mount.
Yes, if he is going to stand there in traffic he should be wearing a vest.
It's been said before, but the way he listens to everyone and actually takes into consideration what they say is a great quality.
Absolutely ! 2 or 3 heads are better than one if there logical thinkers .
The definition of intelligence, to involve all available information into your decision making process. 😊
I bet Mrs. Grumpy loves when you ask grumpy to come out for a run. Get him out of the house
I totally agree! What a GOOD NEIGHBOR!!!
give him a video camera to record his own view
I Would like it a lot to be on a trip like Mr Grumpy. I could use a little day care myself
Not a bad ride.
Time away from the wife ..
Oh wait ... is that why Casey works for so long doing recoveries ???
Beautiful work Casey. Grumpy should wear a safety vest.
You could try to get him to wear one...I'd pay to see that!
Supervisor Grumpy should have a safety 🦺 on
Good planning on washing the truck. It worked as designed.
I told you!
Haven't had much snow in Iowa since early January. Thinking about taking the snowplow off my designated plow truck😂
@@rosscoder6380 you know if you do that it will snow zhe next day just to f you up
@@shinoharazockt9912agreed but maybe he needs the money 💰 lol that would be one way of looking at it
@@rosscoder6380DONT DO IT!! I took mine off last week and had to put it back on Thursday morning when we got 4 inches..🤬🤬🤬
You have to get Grumpy a Hi-Vis vest!
YES! Also, a hard hat with a revolving yellow light on it! But the reflective vest first.
Very pleased to see you have Trained Ethan to help. You were doing everything yourself and I sensed it was becoming a bit too much.
Ethan has worked out swimmingly! Goodsence of humor, quick learner, excellent communicator and handy traffic controller
And! His batteries don't go flat! 😁

I'm glad to see you teaching him the ropes, which makes the job go smoothly when everyone understands the operation of the equipment
Glad to see Ethan getting training on doing more work, always was curious when you did everything and he just filmed. Seemed there was some things he could easily help with.
His job is to be the camera man
Always good to have a camera man that can multi task. Never know when you need more than two hands.@CaseyLaDelle

Ethan becomes a 9:36 swamper, making suggestions, running lines, great teaching Casey
I’m telling you, Casey a lot of companies could definitely benefit from the auto chains. I know you certainly have. And I know I have too.

Grumpy needs a reflective vest when standing on the road. Zack machine a great tool.
I totally agree. Safety first and GRUMPY FOREVER
Another win. The 3 amigos
Teaching Ethan while holding the camera felt like you were teaching us watchers too! Amaizing
I love you for teaching your employee a skill that will make him a more skilled partner someday. Guidance and listening and letting him do the work without any real consequences of it didn't work.

I wonder if Casey is getting Ethan trained up so he can run the rollback while Casey runs the zacklift
@@The_JEB that is a possibility
Ethan is going to become a good operator.. His ideas are showing great progress
Them trail mater hats are nice. Rory is a good guy 👍
Good job getting him back on the road! Good morning Grumpy!
Always GREAT to see him “out and about”. You go Grumpy!
That ZACKLIFT is a beast!
GREAT to see Grumpy out and supervising.
GREAT to see Ethan helping out.
Glad to see you're still NOT lazy.....

With lockers on each axle and between axles.
@@kensherwin4544 on the Edison trucks having E axles its like having permanently engaged lockers 24/7 so no need for a traditional diff lock

We JUST had our first "measurable" snow for the year in mid-Minnesota. 5" woo-who!
It's snowed here in May before too, 6".
So, no, winter ain't over!
Zacklift is amazing. Knowing how to use it is priceless. Thanks Casey and crew!
HEY! Good morning Casey and thumbs UP!!!
thank you Casey, i could actually see how they work now. I appreciate your teaching ability.
That's awesome.. digging the traffic control vehicle. Seems like Grumpy needs a reflective vest as well. 😉
Thanks for the video
A big job not to far from your house, got to love a nice pay day, and being home in 20 minutes.
Another great video. Ethan is certainly learning the ropes. You should get Grumpy a hi viz vest. Great Cascade Rescue team.
Grumpy is the hardest work there, he's the Supervisor!!!!
It was suppose to be a PLAY day in the new truck, including Riley, but then a "job" came in! 🙃 They eventually got back on track! Grumpy came home HAPPY! Mrs G
Grumpy makes the video that much better! Thank you for letting him come out and play.
Happy Grumpy is a good thing. Glad they got to have their play day and that Grumpy got to adventure with Casey and Ethan.
It's always good to have another person that knows how to run the equipment. If things go sideways, they might be the one to save the day and possibly your life especially where you operate.
I love that rig! Prerolls, funny. Train that boy, I'm 57 and I'd be runnin. I love this kind of thing.
It’s nice that you have a trainee, it’s funny watching you. It’s all second nature to you, not so much for the trainee yet.
A supervisor - we’re in safe hands!
Good equipment and a smart brain to use it to its best advantage, always like to see Grumpy along and it keeps him out of Mrs Grumpy hair.
Zachlift to the rescue again…. Keep it up guys. Glad to see Grumpy coming out to play too …. 🎉🎉🎉
I like ole Grumpy!! We had a neighbor in PA whose name was I think Harry Gromley. My sisters made friends of he & his wife. They called him “Grump Lump.” He was a really cool ole man.
Every time I hear Grumpy’s name, I think of ole Grump Lump!
It's a beautiful thing when you have really good equipment and the job just gets done without a problem. Nice work.
It's so generous of you to humor Ethan by pretending to care about his ideas 😆
Nah, he's doing pretty well for a camera operator turned tow trucker 😀
Another Fine Rescue .Good to see Grumpy . Good to see Ethan Learning ,He may be a designated Camera man Still good to have help sometimes
Great Team with Grumpy & Ethan ❤ Love when Grumpy is there ❤❤❤
Install a coffee maker and a crockpot full of hearty beef stew and charge extra for meal service 😉
Great recovery Casey,, Ethan and Grumpy.
Awesome job, great recovery. Sorry to tell you, but the best part was that Grumpy was right there with you guys.😊
Ok I'm feeling the comradery.. Casey, Ethan, and Grumpy.. yes.. 👍
Loving your work as always!
good job
Casey you and crew ROCK! I love seeing Grumpy get out with you!
I work for a tucking company and our drivers don't know what is on their truck only the weight and if it is hazmat
You make it look soooo easy.
Wow that rig is loaded with all kinds of goodies. Great rescue!
Thanks for explaining those things to hold your hooks. Was wondering how it came undone. Pretty neat set up.
Hi all. Good to see Grumpy today. Stay safe out there.
Good job Casey! My only concern was Grumpy needed a nice Safety jacket and Ethan needed a better safety vest and or jacket. I worked in the roads of Utah and I know how dangerous other drivers are. I worked at UDOT and am retired.
Good morning Casey.
That’s an impressive tow! Nice job!!
Like the explanation you give on why you do what you do 👍
Great video
Ethan is earning that new seat. Seems like good help too, beyond just a camera guy and comedic relief.
Great Team Work
Love how you give your version of recovery, then ask the others for their opinion.. respect.
Of course, Grumpy always does a great job.
Great video thank you!

Nice work I see winter is still hanging on same with us in ny
Like these heavy recoveries with zack lift. But also I miss those when cars are stuck in the woods etc.
Proper tools make your job easier and safer
The more I watch, the more I am impressed with your choice of equipment. That Zacklift is a is really a workhorse!
It's great to watch Ethan being mentored by Casey👍It's adding a completely new deminsion to the channel, not to mention Casey having the option of sending Ethan out on solo jobs, perhaps in the smaller wrecke
I'm glad for everyone involved that he didn't pull the fifth wheel. That would make this recovery a huge nightmare.
I love the no-nonsense professionalism.
Hello from Alberta 🇨🇦

That is the coolest tow rig ! 👍👏👏
It is cool you are busy enough to get a helper. Congratulations! Hi to Grumpy.
Always great to see grumpy out on an adventure with you
I love seeing Grumpy!
Smooth as silk with the right equipment and know how. You're the best Casey!
That setup on the front of that tractor was impressive. I''m learning Semi stuff. So cool
Need to have Ethan get his class a cdl so he can drive the western star if your sick or something like vacation

And yes I like where you are taking the Ethan project, it's good to see the wanting to learn and your knowledge and willingness to help carry another lost experience! Thank you for all you do!
Thanks Casey. I wto was going to ask about the cable anchors on the truck
One word: craftsmanship. Well done (again)!
Thanks for showing the hook releases! I can finally stop wondering how the heck that works.
Not the first time Ethan has come out with a good idea on where to hook and where to pull from. He clearly has a good mind for angles. He's a keeper. So please explain where he's from and how he came to join you
Great job Casey....Grumpy was happy with the recovery lol...stay safe you all and see you on the next one
I drove a 50 ton rotator rig, and I'm impressed whith your skills!
Good job Ethan! Massachusetts work ethic.
That Zack lift is a beast!!
You’re a good bloke, Casey. Gday from Australia. Tropical heat and humidity here.
Great work team! Nice to see you training Ethan, and awesome to see Grumpy too!
