OH SHIFT

[Music] hello ladies gentlemen and as always thank you for watching today we've been called by a customer that came upon an accident slammed on the brakes apparently they're driving a semi with a flatbed trailer and load has shifted into the back of the truck so we've been called to try to resituated so that the truck and trailer can get off the side of the road we're headed that way down and turn the camera back on when we get on scene see what's going on when we are getting close to the scene I can see all right blue lights I think I see the semi on the side of the road he's supposed to be right here before the overpass pretty sure that's him and we're gonna sneak in behind him to take a look at the load and see what's going on first before we decide what we're going to do marine here I really don't want to run over holy cow cab is really messed up hold on Talan we got him coming on hothead here first thing we need to do is set up some cones as they are not getting yeah the second book [Music] [Applause] get over the semis are doing fine [Music] now and you'll see what we got [Applause] doesn't mean it's gonna stop of it laced the police officers pushed him over that way to begin with that's right just don't step out into that traffic nobody in the bunk nobody in the bunk yeah good deal you know it hurt no I'm good good deal my name's Ron this talent you're right I'm good okay good now let's see what to see what kind of damage we got here it doesn't look too good from back there it didn't go inside how heavy is it total a little over 31 [Applause] I don't know if we might talent we might be able to grab one at a time and slide them back just enough to where we can catch the next layer down and just layer them back a little bit until we can get a hold of it bottom that bottom is down inside there pretty good either that or we can try to Joker it but that's a lot of weight 31 yeah man if we could get beside and we can lift it but we can't get beside it right here and he can't drive not with it the way it is 31 590 okay do what yeah yeah H each one's made of two pieces then slide together there holy crap look at this [Applause] I wonder rather than working from the front wonder if I can boom over the top if we can choke this enough back here and slide it back we may have to have someone bring us up some more rough timbers we all know we should have you got more Timbers good good deal good deal what we'll do is we'll just slide them but keep them under it I think we'll try that I'll nose up against you as close as I can get you lock all your brakes down okay yeah no you lock all your breaks down and I'll put some blocks behind you then I'll come up right right behind you and I'll rotate my boom around and we'll see if we can choke her this load enough right here on the back and rather than lift the whole stack we'll see if we'll slide it I want you to leave your chains on it that way your chains keep it contained okay yes sir yes leave these leave them loose so that they'll slide through but snug enough so that it's not gonna fly off on us all right sounds like a plan let's try that first and see if that works I'm gonna go up here I got steps I'm not as young as you are that's got your cab be two paces down it what are you going to do after we get it a little load back if it's drivable uh-huh try to finish the hall where you had it oh my goodness is that your truck dad said he want to make calling regardless I'm not gonna take the picture from down that way that's for sure a dead young traffic [Music] I don't want to be right on top of it so I don't know how far back we got to go with it yet how far back is to load calm back to about here Corso okay all right okay all right maybe a little bit more I'm just I'm debating on whether we want to try to choke her it with straps or if we want to try the chains the chains are going to want to slide more yeah I do too let's check the rating cuz we got 30 oh shoot ah 17 and we're dealing with 32 that's masculine yeah shoot shoot shoot well the 5/8 chains hell even the half-inch change with would be fine the 5/8 would be better obviously working with this kind of load you got to wrap it more than once and overlap it that's the problem you're gonna have some dead young much strap or so much chain it's gonna be so heavy that's the problem unless we use @c 1717 we use two of these two of the blue ones that would put us in a safe working load of 34 and he's 32 it doesn't give us four sets that's with your working load limit on a four to one or five to one it's right under and I don't like well I really don't like working at that close I'd rather have plenty of room to play with you know especially working over the camp crap crap crap crap crap crap all right well unfortunately it looks like the big boys it's gonna have to be I don't like it no I know take that up there for a certain people 10-footer one ate more than just one hydrated oh I've got plenty Thank you very yes sir we've got two coolers we got a big one here we got one up in the truck we planned on this thank you I appreciate it though thank you Midwest truck this Ron i I'm sorry I don't know the answer to that I'm out on the side of the interstate working a load ship let me give you the number let me give you another number to the shop and if Bob is still there he'll answer okay it is but it rolls through my cell phone after 4:30 okay and we've got four incoming lines to the shop let me give you another number and if Bob is still there he should answer okay are you ready are you ready yes sir thank you all right down let's take our chain we're gonna have to have more than just the one I know we'll have to have more than just the one because we're going to have to wrap it and the change will have to overlap try to get as close to his boards as we can that way as we pull it's going to bring the chain back towards us and if it slips we've got plenty of room for it to work work with okay you understand basically just start running chain underneath it and wrapping it around there I'll grab some more chain come on baby ASIC 5/8 mr. Eddie Eddie Eddie once fifth-wheel grabber yep [Music] sir I brought you another one here yeah you're going to have to link yep thanks - we need at least two rats I'm gonna have to get you another chain it's going to take more than just one rat to grab a hold on that steel on steel is going to want to slide what we might do is we might place rubber I've got a bunch of rubber straps we'll put some rubber down and hopefully that will help grip where the chain is if we won't put that under there now where you've got the chain take the chain like I said far far forward is you can close to the floor all right grab some bits of rubber strap or rubber flaps not only helps protect the chain but hopefully helps chain chain grab hold I know I know it's not typical for us to have to do this talent but the chain will have to overlap or else it will not grab a hold you have to cross the chain or else it will not grab it will not grab now wait where is your where's one of your hands 108 okay what you need to do is make a loop out of this okay and then make two loops that way as the chain pulls the loops tighten up kind of like a noose or a I'll shoot you know what I'm talking about so it's not there you go thank you that needs to hook into itself and then you run the other chain loop it through so that cinches down good now yes you want that you want to make a loop out of both of them okay you understand and I got got the bits of rubber there too would talk for his will put my winching breakdown I know it seems counterproductive but if I push the [ __ ] break in and flip on winching break it lets my tag axle go down and applies all the service breaks so I've got service breaks on the pusher axle as well that way all right girl I need to put my white hole on free spool [Applause] then we'll have to put all of them on but right now I just want the white so I can get my wine Devils back [Applause] [Applause] we're sliding so we're not lifting so much as we are sliding so the resistance is not going to be the full weight I still want to use a snatch block that slows things down and it increases the strength of the wire rope 12 [Applause] who it is more alright now let's erase all of them Outrigger someone taking just barely down just so it doesn't squash the front suspension just barely touching the pavements all I want same on the back mainly I want the tires to hold it in place [Applause] [Music] sync up the remote [Music] [Music] don't like working over the cab but sometimes you have to Oh now I can reach it from there okay it's blocks for me him another block for me you need another trainers we got enough kind of like get it delivered all right well they may take us time or two we'll work with it and see what we get like I said put those flaps in there anywhere the chains go to contact that will help keep it from sliding you know with my wife and my son all right what do you got for me to grab hold up that's gonna cinch in maybe right hope thank dang that was close now where's that bar let me grab that blue bar thank you oh my god [Applause] [Applause] all right yep I mean yeah yeah it snuck up here all right Alan food please set the ladder down there you go not in between it upside okay outside if somebody comes up behind us and slams into it you don't want to be in between it I did it while ago to put blocks down in it I didn't like it but that's where I was at all right now we'll probably want some of your blocks ready because this is going to it's not going to break over yet but there we go she's moving you can't just let loose I love this truck all right we're gonna have to let that chain off let me take some slack give you a little bit of slack but yeah you're gonna have to unbind or that one [Music] I dropped the cooler out of the full box while ago yeah a storm moving in up north of us yeah while you're up there let's put one up on the front just to keep it contained up here to please a little bit extra time now can save us a whole lot of trouble later like I said it doesn't have to be real tight just enough to contain it that's probably good all right [Applause] whoa steep boom in a little bit she's flexing quite a bit it's still moving [Applause] Oh you got [Music] do what sir okay we're gonna take the back one loose now least it's on the trailer yeah I put two big blocks behind his tires I put my pusher down and flip the winch break and I blocked three sets of tires on this one all right here we go you want to reposition now I wonder just let it go for now all right okay what don't you want to know in these back beams weight-wise yeah I'm lifted yep let me get it back further are you going to watch some other planks back here because if you do unfortunately we're going to take that lose yeah okay yeah if I'm going to have to lift it I need to get it closer to me where's your weight distribution going to be best back on the planks where we where it was yeah so you you still want your in the back about here okay we can do that I think that's better anyway it gets it closer in for me to be able to lift and then you can block under the front going right over the top those block man I couldn't worked out much better [Music] okay is that about where you want it or you want to car there back still just a hair more oh it's moving fine yeah we put it wherever you wanted the only problem is we don't go too far back because if it's gonna be harder first to push it forward one little suit that's good good there yeah okay all right okay Talan we're gonna have to reset for a lift we don't have to worry about doing all the choker and and stepped-up yeah yeah cuz we're not lifting the full 3032 don't make clothes at the end of the stick right there that's the end of my stick right there that's still a pretty good distance out all right Dalen you need a drink we're under heat warnings right now we've got heat index is about 110 to 115 they're estimating high humidity very important to stay hydrated I don't know who that is back there but they stopped help looks like traffic control anyway hey Talan if we need to take one chain and whip it make it easier to get those out we can do that you got it right here by these it's going to be at an angle but I got no choice hello ah they came up on a wreck and hit the brakes and everything slid into the cab [Applause] appreciate that thank you very much how do you work with okay Casey okay you work with Casey okay good I'm sorry they were actually treating is pretty good on traffic it might want to try to slide it I hope not I can't get directly over it well if I pull my truck forward a little bit I can well let's see but see what that does parched I might watch toes this Tainted and doing anything other than keeping it from doing that small moves no no no so I'm not maxed out on reach on maxed out I've got I got plenty of power it says I can lift nineteen I've only got seven on it right now but I'm just going real slow because I'm at an angle if I yes sir I am normally I'd be wearing my shirt that says Ron but they do not work in hot weather yeah he'll that's why I work were these masculine I appreciate that very much we got her name you're ready to get your board sled look at that full extension and still lifting that Lord I love this truck oh it hit pretty good I'm in haste yeah they got it jammed up pretty good but yeah it's lucky you didn't go through it very lucky it didn't go through it don't get any part of you under there talent just okay I don't know where he wants that other one stacked do you need something to drink go back to your driver you got something to drink okay all right Talon you still good little bit that's what I was afraid of now what we can do I mean it would be a little extra work if you wanted to do it we could set it down the way it is get off the highway and get to where I can get the front and lift the front up and then set it where you want it or you can just leave it down on the singles I was gonna say it'd be easier just leave it on the singles least you weren't hurt man that's main thanks okay Center down now what about center-to-center side-to-side hate to go that way just a little bit [Music] that about right down on the trailer go this way look good yeah I said he's going to Colorado you believe that going all the way Colorado boy I'd hate that that truck in that shape oh so here you're a target out here your target they're slowing down now oh now they are when I first got here no well there was a place car back there with two car accident and they would come around him and then get back in and still had the two lanes runner but ever since you came they started running single lane which is which is nice and they couldn't line up yep take go in a straight line for a little bit but that's it that was about all he could do all right but our team Billy well he had even had pipe or something we had less surface area it would have gone but since he had your LOC writing stay together a little better yep I know why you walked into put your spare timber up thank you are you gonna tarp it okay all right oh it cut you're cut through strap did do you need one oh you got extras okay hi you know say if you need one I got some come on yeah that one's no good for anything anymore yeah man thank you for the help do a lot of

that kid driving is lucky as fuck. and the dude in the rotator did a pretty solid job saving that load for him too. gonna guess he aint gonna pass inspection now though.

[u/TechnoEquinox]

So, fun fact.

When you're securing with no headache rack, you are required BY LAW to use whatever securement you've placed on the very front of the load two feet directly behind it. So at the very least, two chains in the first five feet.

This guy had too few chains, no friction pads, and was following too closely. He's lucky, dumb, but alive.

Oh, and as Marek pointed out, the cab held together well only because he braked normally then hard late as opposed to braking hard early, so the steel slid only in the last few seconds of forward inertia.

[u/marek4792]

I'm amazed how well the Volvo cab held up against that, any other truck that steel woulda been coming through the windshield..

[u/Supertrucker82]

That's how my friend died. Exactly like that. X chains across the front of sheet piling, or die.

[u/BadLuckSunshine]

Don't haul steel without a bulkhead or headache rack.

It's not worth your life

[u/SquidSauceIsGood]

Look at this guy. Martin Scorsese with all the camera angles. :-)
