container move

feeds@yuku.com (ErichsensAuto) — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 17:18:40 GMT

Did this job on a construction site . A construction company needed this empty sea container moved across their parking lot . We hooked our 10 ton medium duty wrecker to the rear of the container and hooked our 30 ton wrecker to the front . We used the heavy wrecker as the horse , put the medium duty in neutral and walked the container across the site .

feeds@yuku.com (working4mykids) — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 23:44:34 GMT

A good account called for some help. They had a F350 on a hoist when the hoist had a chain snap. I was first to go and found I could back the wrecker in to there shop from the other side but it was tight. called for second truck and we forked it on each end. lifted truck up, moved hoist arms and lowered truck back down. In the end the shop manager was happy. He had no idea how...

Gentleman called us tonight and said "please help"....he was hauling these 48" pipes with 42" pipes inside of them all were 20' long...the cribbage broke underneath the top layer and caused a strap to break and his load to shift...we took two of our big wreckers down and picked them up and moved them back into position....we also helped him rebuild the cribbage with stronger wood to prevent this from happening again....we guestimated that each pair of pipes weighed...

One truck truck wreckin

feeds@yuku.com (IHT) — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 02:57:51 GMT
Dug these out of the files while looking for something else. I miss winter. Don't quite know exactly how the driver managed to turn his whole truck around on the interstate, but he did. I had to work this one by myself with our old "woods truck" (with cleanup crew and a tractor driver) because our other big trucks were busy. I didn't get any pictures of the tractor upright. The state patrol was in more of a hurry for that part.

4o ft pusher complete burn

feeds@yuku.com (khall) — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 00:06:39 GMT

pusher had a engine fire and caught the tow vehicle on fire. loaded on landoll and the car on a flat bed, cleaned up the mess, it had a bad fuel leak so we had to plug the leak and put down alot of absorbent. once it was loaded and cleaned up drove to a wide spot and tarped it up off to the shop

Bread Anyone????

feeds@yuku.com (ClassAtowing) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 23:19:02 GMT
This Bread truck was rear ended by a box truck causing it to roll off the high shoulder. Simple 1 lane upright just some early morning fun.

log truck roll

feeds@yuku.com (ctv3) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 12:09:22 GMT
we got the call from the 911 Center in reference to a log truck roll over, we thought well easy enough, until we got on scene and had to deal with 4 guy wires and two poles. But it didnt take us long to resolve the matter we moved the logs that were interfering with the removal of the truck and to keep them from rolling onto the wires or poles causing further damage.

feeds@yuku.com (LINCOLN AUTO) — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 16:40:32 GMT
This Mack went off the road and into a field a few weeks ago, it was loaded with turkeys and although it did not roll, all the cages busted loose and ended up mangled.

The picture above shows another turkey truck sitting on the highway with a load of cages and use can see the pile that came off this...

Delivery van on wet driveway

feeds@yuku.com (towingtech) — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:01:15 GMT
Received a call from the home owner who just got some new furniture, that the delivery van was stuck in her driveway. Our summer has been mostly bone dry except for the last two days of rain, just bad timing
The truck (600 lbs on it) got stuck when the driver in his haste to end his day chose to turn around in this narrow drive as opposed to backing the 200' to the road.

I also have a question. Any...

Recovery Job......29 months to get paid

feeds@yuku.com (bigdog) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 15:35:13 GMT

This is the first wreck I have posted. I have really been thinking if I want to get into any debate over this. After 29 months to get paid, it is what it is. I think it's time for some other opinions. After every major wreck, we sit back and examine what we could have done differently in all aspects of handling a recovery. This is the story of one such recovery. We were called by the police...

Fatality Lift

feeds@yuku.com (firemedic) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 01:28:11 GMT
I lifted this trailer off of a Chevy Silverado that ran underneath it, killing 3. I tried to tell the fire department when they started that they were going to be fighting themselves. Everytime they cut or pried something, it just went back to the same position because of the weight of the trailer being on it. After 5 hours they finally got the guys out and kept cutting pieces of the ICC bar to pull the truck out. They never could cut the whole thing because the pressure of the truck...

Big deal for us

feeds@yuku.com (exxonpapa) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 23:48:59 GMT

Ran up on this and then worked. During evalution I realized quickly I needed help. Before going any farther I want to thank everyone involved who responded quickly and without question when I asked for help. Price's Chevron with second heavy, Harmon's Servicenter with manpower and skid steer and mini-dump unit, Carter Escavating (Davey Price) with road tractor and all my tow operators with every truck plus Joe Kacey of AAMCO for operating one our units.
