Wow. That's some super slick Dolly stowage
I love how you clean your mess up but the others were just sleeping it off into the graph
That was the fire department too. Can tell they don’t take pride in their work.
@@Towtruck_Dustinfire department employees are getting just as bad as the police.
I've never seen a civilian tow truck with red & blue lights, that's really cool. I've only ever seen clearly marked police tow trucks with them
A few states allow it. Texas, Missouri, and a few others.
@@Towtruck_Dustin That's really nice, I assume you can only have them to the rear? Thankfully where I live you can have amber, red, and white for civilian vehicles
Thank you for the excellent work and comments. One never knew the details you folks must go through to help the crash victims.
Thank You!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Now, that was a great job my friend. Proud of you. Also very much appreciate the fact you put it out there for the concerns of the victims. We see all kinds of bad wrecks. it's always impotant to show the human side of these accidents. I have ALWAYS told people, "cars can be replaced people can't" Great video !!!!!!
Thank You!
Damn bro who smashed your mirror
That happened to Donnie and another operator.
A truck pulling a boat came by too close and hit the mirror and almost hit the operator.
I'm sure the woman had a lot on her mind, but there's no point in taking that pickup to her house. Insurance is going to total it, and even if it doesn't have comprehensive coverage, it'll cost way more to repair than it's worth. Good job getting it strapped down, cleaned up, and hauled away.
Thank You!
There is a point to it though. That way she isn't stuck paying for ridiculously high storage fees.
love your channel brother. Brings back so many memories' ran a tow truck in ar.for 15 years and i have seen and done just about everything
Thank You!
Glad you’re enjoying the content!
Dustan you sound a little down, hope you are ok. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. 😊
I’m doing great. Thanks!
That 2021 texas DPS tahoe is awesome
I follow a guy named Ron Pratt that has a rotator truck (plus a bunch of other tow vehicles) who is in Scott City, MO and a few times your videos come up in the ones on the side. I decided to check out one of your videos and I am glad I did. Nice job. I subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos. God Bless you and stay safe out there.
Thank You for giving my channel a try!
Glad you’re enjoying the content. I regularly watch Ron’s channel, his was a big inspiration for my own.
Everyone should watch Ron Pratt
That truck was badly damaged. Probably in the best interest of the owner to have it towed to the yard, and have the insurance take care of matters. Very well might be a total loss.
Given it’s age and the sheer destruction, it’s definitely a total loss.
Why would you want that pile at your house?
@@user-tb7rn1il3q People know tow storage costs extra, and they don't want to be responsible for that. Not knowing their insurance will take care of it. Or, if you just release the vehicle to the tow shop, they might waive storage and scrap it to get value from it that way. (Not sure, depends on the company, I guess.)
But I've had some tows myself, people wanted the wreck to go home. Unless an impound is ordered, I'm not required to take it to my yard. But someone has to pay for the tow before I release the vehicle, so, if they really want to pay up front, I'll take it to their house.
@@sarukmaktao225😂qqxsjnsndndm
"have to tow it to the yard" that's a scam to gain storage and retow charges. It's my property and you will tow it where I want or else I will hire someone else to do so!
Yeah this was a bad accident. Definitely will be praying for these folks.
07:50 you can see blood on the door 😢 and all over seats (basically everywhere)
Yeah a dolly bar to the side of the head isn’t fun, been there done that. I’m surprised that battery stayed where it was for the whole tow. Hanging way out there! Hopefully everyone is ok from that wreck.
It seemed steady so I didn’t mess with it lol i questioned it staying as well lol
Great recovery, thanks for sharing, enjoyed watching.
Thank You for watching!
Got to give you lots of Credit for doing your Job That's a lot of hard work.
Thank You!
Love the place you keep the dollies every tow truck should have that
I Learn thinks like how to talk we’d costumers in a stress situation. From your skills tanks for sharing 🙏
Thank You For watching!
Glad you found it helpful.
Flatbeds are the best, I drove one for many years! Never liked the wheel lift trucks, but, they do have a use at times. Parking garages and parking decks. I drove a Hino and loved that truck.
Flatbeds are definitely my favorite. Not much you can’t do with them.
Gj b j k n🎉hcv
Remember--put some business cards in the truck. That is free advertisement.
Hello Dustin, wow that truck was a total wreck. We pray the folks involved are doing okay. You did an awesome job with the recovery. Keep the video's coming we love them. Stay safe out there.
Thank You!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Interesting that with all the front end damage the windshield is still intact.
Just recently came across your channel. I enjoy seeing how these wrecks are cleaned up…. Great videos, keep up the good work my man!
God bless you for doing what you do and God bless. Texas
Thank You!
16:57 DAMN that Sierra needed an alignment
Hi Dustin i like the way you work in cleaning up all the debris from the accident. Because i live in Florida and these guys out here. They leave the debris in the street, bumpers on the side of the road, glass all over. I bet you like that heat out in Texas. We getting it in Florida with 97 degrees but it feels like 107. 😁
I don’t understand why people don’t clean up. It’s part of our job. We get to charge more for it too. So why not make more money, for a little bit more work.
@@Towtruck_Dustin You know I lived in New York for 34 years and when there's an accident they clean up. Moved to Florida in 2001 and all the tow truck are the same. They don't even clean up if it's in someone front yard.
New to the channel, like the content so far. I do like the way you cleaned up the debris instead of just blowing it into someones yard, Im taking that was the fire or police department. If I was the resident of that house I think I would be calling someone and making the county clean it up.
Another great job Sending prayers and well wishes to everyone involved
Thank You!
where I live in my County we been having many Bad accidents here in NJ . My Daughter has been very Busy with the Fire Department .
We’ve recently had an big jump in accidents here too. Many of which I don’t know if they will make it onto the channel, but they have been keeping us busy as well.
You do your job well God bless you
Thank You!
Great video ❤
Thank You!
Be glad you aren't in north Texas right now. It's been a brain boiler for several days now with more coming next week. Definitely praying for the victims! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You can keep the dry heat. I’ll stick to my sauna 😂😂
Prayers
I had a wreck earlier this year and the insurance ended up totaling my car. On the day of the wreck I called our insurance and had car towed to car dealership for free. I never saw the front end of my car until I went to get stuff out of it. I am really lucky to be alive. I hope that the injured people are all okay.
A guy ran a stop sign and flipped my car, First time being in a accident, thank lord my Dash camera got everything on film, he tried to lie and say i was speeding, I was doing 55 in a 55 on the hwy
After you loaded the truck there was a blue bag on the hood, but when you got to the yard it wasn't there anymore. Did you stop to remove it or did it fall off somewhere? Hope everyone involved will recover alright. that one was pretty bad too. Good job!
I moved it to the bed of the truck after I pulled away, and met with the FD later to give it back.
@Towtruck_Dustin that's the nice thing about being in a small town. I didn't even know you were here since I rarely get to the south side of Angleton. Not trying to cuss here, but I thought Meyers was the only professionals in town. This showed me different.
Neat way to store,the dolleys.i see them on the deck.good way to keep the deck clean .also no snow get on them 🤣🤣
If there is snow falling on these, I took a wrong turn somewhere lol very rarely will we ever see snow lol
i hope the people in the wreck is okay also
Can you please do a video tour of this tow truck
This isn’t my normal truck. It’s very disorganized and doesn’t have all the equipment I need anyway.
Interesting to see you have red and blue flashers on your truck. Don't see that often.
Not many states allow it unfortunately.
This why some of us still run the sling & wheel lift system and not a boom that won't come out & built into the self loader
Sling would have been handy on this one for sure.
@@Towtruck_Dustin I have seen some accidents in my years of towing but wow that was just as bad as one I drove up to one time . The only difference was at least none of the people were not threw the windshield like the one I pulled up at .
But we had a bad one here last Wednesday semi VS motorcycle . The motorcycle drive died at scene . I didn't see the accident but they had the road all marked up 😢
I'm fairly certain a good Constitutional lawyer could make a case that it's unconstitutional and an illegal seizure for the city, county, state to force you to have no say in where your vehicle goes when being towed by a company not of your choosing. I understand placing limits on distance, but forcing someone who was just in an MVC to have no choice in where their car goes can't be legal. If the proposed drop-off destination is within the pre-set limits of the towing company that is responding, they should be required to take it where you want it, with the caveat that you would pay any extra mileage incurred over the amount that would've been to the impound lot or tow yard they would've otherwise gone to.
Hi from Australia
Hey there!!
Damn. I really miss it.
That's a handy shovel. You could sell that in your shop
Welcome back great video thanks👍NC
Thank You!
You should have brought a roll back!
Trust me. I wished I was in mine. It should be back this week.
Hi there was a lot of damage
Yeah this one was pretty bad.
GOOD MORNING!
Morning!
@Towtruck_Dustin nobody said it was a good morning, but it'll probably be a good day.
Awsome to see how it is done in the US, as a chaser in canada police rotation stuff always been interesting to me as we are first on scene. Also awsome to see u guys get blue and red we only get amber and amber white if u wanna risk a ticket
I really wished they would allow red and blue more places. It makes a big difference on how traffic responds!
@@Towtruck_Dustin agreed, unfortunately the issue at least in Canada is alot of chasers are idiots and would abuse that to get to accidents. I dont know how chasers are in America lol. But also the day we are considered first/emergency responder will be the day our jobs may get safer
@TheWolftowing we have the same issues with the wreck chasers in the US. Which is why I’m glad we go by rotation where I’m at. We don’t have to deal with all that mess.
@@Towtruck_Dustin yea it can get crazy lol, thankfully in BC were i am at least we have 2 of us chasers for my whole area so its less crazy, we both help each other when we can and theres alot of respect both ways. Are you on tiktok?
Flfgjkbkorip☎️🚘☎️
The battery just dangling out of the front of it 😂
T bjj gng vhv b h🎉❤😊
Those In-the-ditch dollies aren't bad for smaller lighter vehicles. I like the Collins style a little better. They have more safety options. I was more a wrecker operator than a flatbed guy during my 11-year run
The temperature high here in Arizona is 115 degrees, and it could go higher. We have had twenty-nine days of over a 110 degrees 😳 If we had mention of hidden decks i'm sure it's well over our heads. You always do an awesome job every couple of weeks no matter what they are. We all hope you get your truck back soon😊
Thank You!
Stay safe out there in that heat!
@@Towtruck_Dustin Always, Safety first.
Wish the guys that towed my car after my accident put wrap on my open windows it literally was like a pond in there the sunroof was open the two front side windows where open an they just left them like that no tarp no wrap just wide open so rain water can get in I mean the car was totaled but I definitely didn’t want stuff to get wet until it was released an I got my stuff out
Not sure what state you’re in, but it’s a requirement in Texas to secure any vehicle in storage. That includes covering the vehicle from the elements, and locking the doors.
@@Towtruck_Dustin Pennsylvania
A great Job.
Thank You!
You mentioned it was a three-car accident I saw the truck that you're working on I did not see the other two vehicles boy they must have hit hard because there is such a large Span in between each vehicle but if I counted correctly there's one in the pool when you were working on which was the gray truck then a white truck and a red car I hope everyone is okay they never showed each vehicle as it's happening
The other truck was right by the truck I was towing, in the ditch. And the other was the red car I drove by at the end of the video.
@@Towtruck_Dustin wasn't that white truck involved to that was in front of the the red car as well cuz I thought I counted for vehicles was that truck just there to help
They're rules, so they can search the truck immediately without a warrant!
No, because they got sued for giving a vehicle to the wrong person. So now they have them taken to a VSF so only the correct people have access to the vehicles.
The Chevrolet is totalled But I say it's fixable but you are good at your job
Thank You!
To bad you’ll can’t run lights and sirens when requested by law enforcement
GMT800 with threatening auruas v2
awesome video enjoyed it i like the scanner traffic im into scanner myself i notice you tow truck had red and blue lights on the light bar nice never seen that before im in california on yellow lightbars here new subscriber
Glad you enjoyed the content!!
As for the scanner, I’ve got a few of them. I’m almost always listening. Lol
And the lights, in Texas, we’re allowed red and blues, facing the rear only. Some states like Missouri, are allowed red and blues in all directions and can run “code” with lights and sirens at the request of law enforcement.
In Oklahoma even construction vehicles have red and blues. I grew up in Texas and the volunteer fire could only run red. I totally understand needing attention grabber for tow truck emergency vehicles. And I also know road crews on highways are hit. But I have yielded to a construction vehicles more than once. They wonder why no one wants to move over for emergency vehicles
Interesting seeing the dollies and what it takes to assemble them. I remember you doing them in a repo but it was dark and it didn't seem to be so much work. What happened to the bag on the hood of the wreck? It looked like rescue equipment?
What's the latest on your flatbed?
I moved the bag to the bed of the truck, and later met with the fire department to give it back.
Anyone else notice the med bag on the hood as he was driving away with the truck?
Hey Dustin! Great video as always!
Thank You!
have to get that storage
No, that’s the department wanting it to go to storage, because they got sued after they turned a vehicle over to the wrong person.
So now they have the rotation tows go to the yard.
Personally I’d rather drop it at the customers place so I get payed up front.
that one was pretty bad, hopefuly everyone is okay..
A cool job
Thank You!
Keep your wheels straight until you're clear to turn!
Will He get His Flatbed back sooner than He got the Latch for the Flatbeds Toolbox?
Not looking too hot at this point lol
Why do they require it be towed to the yard? When I was my wreck a few weeks ago, I wanted to towed back to my house and they were like OK.
In this case, it’s the department. They say we have to take it to the yard before releasing it. Apparently they got sued for giving a vehicle to the wrong person, so now they won’t let us take it anywhere but the yard.
Any other department doesn’t care, and we will haul it anywhere you want as long as you pay the charges at the drop.
🙏🏼
Hola soy de Puerto Rico, soy seguidor tuyo desde ya hace un tiempo. Me gusta tu contenido aprendo mucho de como trabajar las gruas. Siempre me a gustado ese trabajo de ser gruero. Me gustaria algun dia poder comprarme una pero a 28:05 28:07 qui en Puerto Rico son muy costosas que en E.U. sigue asi excelente trabajo amigo.
Thank You! Glad you’re enjoying the content!
Which dollies do you think are better Collins, or in the ditch??
I don’t have much experience with Collins, but we haven’t had much issue with In The Ditch.
@@Towtruck_Dustin stay safe, brother🙏🏼
Definitely have everyone involved in my thoughts and prayers! Dustin, do you work regular shifts or are you on call all the time?
On call 24/7, other than one evening during the week, and one weekend a month.
@@Towtruck_Dustin Wow! Doesn’t give you a whole lot of time to decompress does it. Thank you for being out there keeping the roads clear!
Thank you!
Towing is definitely more of a lifestyle than it is a Job.
You have to really enjoy what you do to make it out here.
Ive wondered the same thing. When I was towing it was 24/7..365. Its not a career for just anyone. It is very demanding . It requires the dedication of a zealot and the rationality to be utterly Zealous for the lifestyle and still keep your life under control. 25 years of my life was a marriage to my work. It cost me EVERYTHING. My wife hated it. I loved every minute of it. I got over her eventually . . Not towing. 💪
I don’t miss those hot days throwin Dollie’s 7 8 x’s a day
I don’t either lol I’ll take my flatbed over this any day lol
I love the car seat in the back of the tow truck. You don t see that every day
Towing is more of a lifestyle than a job.
We take our trucks with us whenever we go.
@@Towtruck_Dustin Nice
Seems to me it would have been much easier with a flatbed. Nice work, however.
Definitely would have been easier.
Nice work Dustin. So is up to the Towing company or the law when it comes to towing to the yard. Unless there is an on going investigation, I've heard once released by the officers you can have your vehicle towed wherever. Just curious
In this case, it’s the department. BCSO says we have to take it to the yard before releasing it. Apparently they got sued for giving a vehicle to the wrong person, so now they won’t let us take it anywhere but the yard.
Any other department doesn’t care, and we will haul it anywhere you want as long as you pay the charges at the drop.
People have the right to have their truck tow to there own place not to a wrecking yard
The truck doesn't look tan to me..The person who tod you it was tan in color obviously doesn't know what tan is. Im surprised that the battery didn't fall off considering that the way it was hanging down in front
I wonder where that duffel bag on the hood ended up falling off.
Great recovery. The blue bag tho ?
Put it into the bed of the truck and gave it back to the FD.
That thing is scap metal now no way it makes any sense fixing it
Heard the scanner running in the truck, you guys do any chasing down in your area or just rotarion calls?
Just rotation. I listen to the scanner so I know when we’re up or if we get skipped.
I have been into an accident about 2 weeks ago and so my car was kind of undrivable after the accident so we fixed everything on it
Oh no. Glad you’re getting it fixed tho.
y that dude go...."you aint touchin that other 1" geez disrespectful old timer.
I’ve had several unpleasant experiences with that particular Fire Department. Not sure what their problem is.
@@Towtruck_Dustin wow...thats real professional on their part.
I hate how y’all take your time when all those people in traffic have to be somewhere
Take our time? We didn’t shut the road down, the cops did.
I was the first tow operator on the scene, by quite a while, and also the first to leave. I passed one of the other tow trucks coming in, on my way out.
Even then, the cops had to keep the road shut down for a while, so that they could finish cleaning up, and the power company could stabilize the power pole the other truck was stuck on.
Where are you going to take it!lol
i would of moved it out the way then do dollies , like your vids
That would be a waste of my time. The entire road was shut down for another hour after I left. I passed the last wrecker on the road after I cleared the scene.
What is tong with your truck ?
Getting some supplemental work for a previous (non-fault) accident a few months ago.
WOW 😮👍👍😊
No longer work on the platform winch?
It’s in the shop right now
Thats why rotation sucks! Too many moving parts complicate things. Its good for the tow company but bad for consumers! I drove tow trucks for several years under a zone contract.Much more efficient!
Hi Dustin, could you give us more info on the locations. One time I heard you say that this was a typical area for accidents on this stretch. It would be great to know where that stretch of road is..
This was on 1462 in Rosharon.
@@Towtruck_Dustin just saw where in TX you are, that must be hotter than heck down there with the humidity. Keep up the good work!
@@Towtruck_Dustin
copy that, thanks
man great job on the cleanup the lazy ass drivers here in Las Vegas don't even carry a broom on there trucks!
It’s a requirement here. That’s one of the things you have to have on your truck to be on the rotation list.
Wow. So much blood in this one. Will it be marked as a biohazard vehicle? Who puts the sticker on it?
Likely whenever it gets to salvage.
What where is your tow truck listen to shop
It’s at the dealership getting some supplemental work done. Should be back in a few days.
street you was there before right
I’ve worked many wrecks on this road.
It’s a hotbed for head on collisions.
Thanks for tell me
where is the flat bed at Dustin!?
Getting some supplemental work from a previous (non-fault) accident that happened months ago.
@@Towtruck_DustinAh I see
#wreckerlife
Are you guy’s allowed to run sirens or is it just red and blues?
Red and blues, facing the rear only.
No sirens.
ZACH BECKY
So there was a blue what looked to be medical bag left on the hood, and was there when you left……. Did that end up falling off? Cause it wasn’t there at the yard.
I moved it to the bed of the truck, and met with the FD to give it back.
@@Towtruck_Dustin awesome I’m shocked they forgot it, easily missed given the situation,
Have you ever thought about filing a complaint with that FDs captain since they give you so hard of a time?
If I had to guess, the guy and the woman that give me problems, are likely the Captain and his wife.
@@Towtruck_Dustin this is probably true lol
