Wow

How horrific!

I am just beyond myself in knowing the right way to handle roadside situations. You never know when you leave if you are coming home. You can do everything you have learned, been taught, and what ever the "book" says about doing it as safely as possible. As we all know it isn't up to us, it is up to whoever else is just around the corner driving into our work space, and it just takes an instant of distraction for it to be over with. It doesn't make me not want to go to work, but it is always there in the back of my mind. Every time I leave on a call my wife tells me to be careful and I have to promise that I will be careful, I do say just that! I pray that who ever else is out there will also be careful as well!!

These things happen way to often and too many lives have been lost, and Ron I am at my wits end in knowing what else we have to do keep it from happening anymore!

I specifically joined this website with this purpose to somehow help in keeping operators from being slaughtered on the highways..... Yet it still happens with way too much frequency, that it happens at all is too much! We somehow have to keep from adding names to the wall!! 

Customer called to see if I was available to come right away as his truck had rolled down a slope and the front end was in the water.

Just winched it out, he drove away, had some water in cab when he opened the door but every thing else seemed fine.

Wow!

Great pics, thanks for sharing Ed!

I thought U-Hauls would go anywhere!!!

How horrific!!

Our thoughts and prayers

Called by LE for this rolled over trailer this week. Hitch just came off the ball, must have been worn holder, because lock still in place. Chains broke and trailer went for a ride. Completely loaded with house hold goods. Was worried about seam on top of trailer so I put a strap clear around it. Upright and tow back to shop.

U-Haul called to get this trailer hauled in on Memorial day. Appears that the nut came off the ball, trailer chains caught it and it didn't wreck or hit anyone else.

Yes it is worth it!!

Towed one this week for local power company, recall says the wrong tightening specs were issued with truck causing studs to stretch. Torque should be 125 ft lbs not the 125-150 given in manual. This was a late 2017

Changing law here, to sell a cat you will have to have receipt that you bought a new one to replace it.

It is in very good shape!

For Sale!

Moved this the other day for owner. Her parents bought new and only has 91,000 miles. Big block with factory air 20 series and camper was made just for them. Very nice piece.

Had to air tires and drop shaft, but nice to tow something a little out of the ordinary.

Wow!
