Tug Test FAIL at the CHP Scales!

Josh, this was a perfect lift but I'm worried about you guys working with cars and trucks passing within inches doing 70+MPH! Yowzah!

I've never seen a trailer fall off at a truck scale before, but I have seen one come off as the driver took off from a traffic light. He was two lanes over from my mom and me, and I happened to look over as he started to go and the trailer came loose as he accelerated. 😮 It wasn't a large trailer and it did stay behind the truck, but the only thing keeping it in place was the air lines and stuff. Was a bit freaky to see. 😳

Why did they make you take down the videos? I look at it as free advertising for these companies.

Some people should stay away from water and stay away from trucks

We love Hector! 🎉🚬

Josh you have the right to record. You are in public and no names were mentioned. Sorry about these kind of people that get offended very easily. Love you videos. Keep up the great work and be careful out there. HULK #1

Unfortunate about the takedown requests. Catch them quick and at least you can see them.

Good point 😊

Pro as usual

From what I observe, the CHP is not lifting a finger too slow down traffic, not even warning lights were lighted.

Been a lot of years, is that the “Carson” scales. Thanks in advance.

How in the heck does he pass a physical?

Hector looked like he was enjoying his Smokes.😂

Fender cams on point

Well I'm glad I got to watch the dumb girl with the Mercedes before the video got taken down and the box truck airport one LOL

My best story at the CHP scales I was heading for a CHP impound in an area I wasn't too familiar with i got lost wound up in an open scale house and got pulled in for inspection I told the officer I was on an active CHP call for them he thought I was full of it until he went back inside and checked and came back with his tail between his legs by this point it had already taken too long and CHP went to the next company for the impound so I looked at the officer and said well you got me this far let's go ahead and do the inspection knowing that I had nothing wrong side note my truck passed the level one that night

Retired a few months ago why is this old lady having so much fun watching you guys work so smart and hard? Interesting solutions, team work! Blessings ~

CHP scales you, Josh? I hope they respect your contribution to this world. I am a retired Driver. I agree, having any type of failure in front of a chicken coop is a bad day. Thank you guys for these uploads. I have only needed a heavy wrecker 2 times in 15 years of driving. One for a blown transmission on a 4% incline in the Apachion Mountains. And two, sadly, I needed to be dragged out of the sand in front of a US Food Service distribution center... In my own bleeping town. Should have known better. I know Drivers are not in a good mood when you encounter them. But I think I can speak for all of us. Thank you for the dangerous, hard, and dirty work you do for a functioning city or roadway. Many on this day will not know the road was cleared so they could get home or to work by hard-working people who care about the town, and do the truly hard jobs with no thanks.

Glad I saw the SkyChef and Mercedes video before they were taken down. My guess is SkyChef is being sued by with the Airport Authority or by American, or both.
As far as the Mercedes, CHP or Natural Resources probably wants money for damages. The video pretty much weakens the woman's case.
Have a good day!

Dynamic duo strikes again..😅good job be safe. Guys.

I like the split screen

'please keep your eye on the road' ????!? Lord Map App - God of men. :)

The Skychef video had to go private? I found your channel after watching The Stig aviation and then a YT recommendation. He also shouted out your channel. Cheers from Sydney, Australia

Why did you scrap some of the videos? I don't understand. Is your channel where you can do whatever you want, no?

Everbody knows Hectors real name is Pepe ;-)

👍👍👍👍👍

$25 will get you a pass on the physical, the company will send you to the “right “ doctor

WOW...heart attack waiting to happen.

Need 200% more Hector dancing.

I'm glad i watched the plane video before it was removed.

why didn't a police come in and block the right lane for you?? That's an insane set up

A few weeks ago I was following a dump trailer down I-80 in Pennsylvania and all of a sudden there was a huge cloud of dust and the trailer skipped off the side of the road and the tractor pulled over just ahead as I went by. I used to drive truck many years ago and I had one time that I did a tug test and it didn’t hook, also I pulled it fifth wheel camper for years and always did the tug test.

Video coverage of these recoveries makes us witnesses of the operations - In case goofy owners of rolled trucks start pointing fingers at new damages having being caused by tow service.

How can that guy pass a fedmed?

Great question: Why WAS Hector there?😜

Hector is there for the vibes 😂

👍

NO RAMBLING JOSH !! AWESOME !! You let us see what you were doing instead of telling us every little thing you did !! Great Video Sir !! ❤️‍🩹🙏👍👍👍👏👏👏😳

His overweight buddys had to get past somehow😂

Great work Hector they couldn’t have done without you

I drove fuel up and down California, but never drove in from outside, or vice versa.

Had a fuel truck (double tanks) jack-knife over I44 in Tulsa, in the winter when some no-load pulled out in front of me from an exit from 44W. Onto a bridge. That freezes first in the winter. Heaven must have loved me that day, because I somehow steered out of it, and didn't land 15 or so feet onto the freeway...tried real hard to run that land yacht over, and I would have, but he managed to get traction and took off like a large rectum fowl. That's a big-ass bird.

Speaking of duals, I was hauling produce for Tulsa Produce, into Arizona. Had a small convoy of 3 or 4 rigs out in the middle of nowhere, trying to outrun the windstorm. The guy (Roadway, or one of them) who was a couple of miles ahead of us was driving the dual trailers. The wind caught it, and the rear dual started rocking, then went over. The tractor and the front trailer stayed upright, but the rear was on its side, half on the nickle lane and half on the shoulder.

I'd already had experience driving dual tankers, and I knew that once that rear started to move, it was pretty much going where it wanted, and it was generally too late to either speed up or slow down at that point.

Great video as usual. Love to hear some of the pricing of some of the jobs you do. Be well, be safe, peace

I've often wondered how much real-time info my safety dept is getting when they're watching me thru that damn driver facing camera, it's been a big secret until you added that split screen shot, thanx for enlightening me👍

Good thing I saw the SkyChef video!!

Your on team screwing you and not telling you to come pass the scales was pretty bad ...... can you really trust them

Your dude Alex really gota wear a safety vest out on the roads. It’s law man why you think firefighters do it now. Just trying to save you on a big fat fine nhst would like to give you espically since you have some exposure.

Drop your best story at the dreaded CHP scales, I know there has to be some good ones!
