Heavy & Medium Work For The Week...

[EdsTowing]

Cleaning out my phone for the week....I take so many dam pictures...LoL Thought I would post some of what I had going on this week.

 

 

TT Tow out of our military base which can be a project in itself... Took the trailer to our shop to secure and a 50 mile tow to the dealer for trans problems.

 

 

Western Express turned on a restricted road and then figured he would back out on to the main highway at night...

 

 

Well he jacked it in to a telephone pole before he could do any real harm...pulled the drives & front of the trailer sideways for 10' and backed him out.

 

 

Undecked a trailer for a customer in our yard...

 

 

Told the guy he diminished about 50% of his chains capacity rigging it like this...

 

 

Tri-Axle rolloff for a blown turbo...

 

 

The rear was pretty "fugassie" and I wasn't trusting anything back there for a rear tow...

 

 

Flatbed getting towed for a supposed running problem... I dropped the pig at the store and rear towed it soI didn't have to pull the shaft. Got back to the shop, dropped in the yard and it wouldn't move? Had to put the power divider in to drive it...pulled the axles and the front rear is blown. Glad I rear towed...

 

 

Undecking some 24 Freightliners...

 

 

Uhaul towed for a Pwr Steering Line, took it to a dealer and helped offload it in another truck. Then brought it back to our place for repairs.

Always like to ask the question about "what is going on?" Just to give me an idea of can I rear tow it or not?

I agree George...and like I said, the Fleet Management company said hard starting and problem going 30mph. We had the truck in a couple weeks ago for a brake problem and found the driver doesn't "Habla" very good... We typically drop the pig coming in to the shop to save space so I figured I would drop it at the store instead of dropping the shaft. We are replacing the rear this week, then I guess we can look at a possible running issue if there is one.

 

I would of rather rear towed the rolloff but that rear ICC bumper was junk and so was the rear crossmamber. They ran the wire harness for the tail lights along the front edge so it would of been an issue to tow it from there. It was an easy shaft anyway...
