usmc041127 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Was told they had a road tractor stuck. Ended up a little more than I bargained for. I got it out none the less but definitely was outmatched. Thankful for wrecker school and learning a few tricks along the way. Tough to beat experience. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushwacker Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Looked like a good job to break in the new truck. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdsTowing Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Nice...I love doing big jobs with smaller trucks. There's a "challenge" factor that is hard to get when I'm in my big truck... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usmc041127 Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 I agree. Honestly when I seen it was a triple axle and no deadman insight I didn't think I had a fighting chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell my guys 2 important factors... #1 Work close to utilize the ability of the wrecker body instead of relying on the amount of resistance your truck can provide, and #2 protect your line load & rigging. You 3 or 4 part the lines and I don't care what you're hooked to...it will come out or you will simply exceed the ability of the truck - but you wont hurt anything but your pride.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
