epic recovery

[Pete M]

yup.  they deserve all the monies    and I bet it's just another day at the "office" for them too. 

 

note that they dragged that truck towards the bridge they were on too.

Wow. That’s crazy.

A couple of close friends of mine do this kind of work. Their rotator truck that they would use for this cost will over half a million dollars.

That is very impressive. There are jobs that have bad hours but pretty much being on call 24/7 would suck, I hope they make good money.

😮 that is cool. I would have stopped and watched the whole thing if it was going on around me. 

[Dzimm]

Wow I bet that was a wild ride.  Quite the recovery operation, how long did it take them?

[Pete M]

from the pics i saw, it looked like a single long day.

That would be one heck of a day at work.

Go on Youtube and search for "Ron Pratt" or "Plaza Towing" or "Pepe's Towing"

So, how did that rig get down there?  Must have been a hell of a ride!

[Pete M]

it's just a guess, but  based on how straight it was when it stopped, I'd wager that the driver fell asleep and it zoomed on down the slope. 

[schardein]

That's an impressive recovery.

 

I've done a few myself.

^^^nice.

 

I was operator on our old M543 wrecker in my company back in the day.  The one and only time my rig broke down, I got towed by a HEMTT.
