There's a Dodge Truck Buried Under There!!
The Crew's Morning Routine
As we began our day, Tom took a moment to describe the previous night's events. "We had a couple of jobs lined up for today, but they were going to wait until morning to call us in." He explained that one of the customers had been running behind schedule, and their vehicle was still at the yard where Max, the team's mechanic, had finished the job.
The first job of the day involved assisting a family with a trailer that had developed a broken spring while on the Kaibab Trail. The crew decided to head out to the site, which was approximately three hours away from their location. As they drove, Tom mentioned that the temperature would be in the 98-degree range and that they were looking forward to some cooler conditions as they entered Ponderosa country.
Upon arrival at the job site, the crew assessed the situation and found that the spring came out relatively easily. They installed a new one with no issues, and despite the remote location, the job went smoothly. The customer was grateful for their assistance, and the team continued on to their next destination, a spot approximately two and a half hours away.
Their first call of the day involved assisting an RV that had broken down in the Sand Hollow area. As they arrived at the scene, Tom mentioned that they were accompanied by a colleague named Colin, who was working with Lady from his team. They began to assess the situation and realized that the job required a bit more effort than expected.
Colin described their process for getting the RV up on top of its axles and pulling it out of the sand hollow. The crew worked together seamlessly, using Tom's guidance to navigate the recovery. They managed to get the vehicle started again, but not before Colin mentioned that they would need to wait until morning to perform another job.
As the team continued their day, they reflected on their work so far. Tom noted that each job had been relatively easy and straightforward, with no major issues arising during the recoveries. Despite the challenges that came with remote locations, the crew remained confident in their abilities and were well-equipped to handle any situation that arose.
One final call was expected, but as of 8:42 AM, there was still no word from the customer. Tom mentioned that he had told them to call him at this hour, so hopefully, they would soon follow through on their promise. The team continued to prepare for the next job, ready to tackle whatever challenges lay ahead.
The Crew's Day in Review
As we reflect on the crew's day, it is clear that each member played a crucial role in the success of their recoveries. From Tom's guidance and expertise to Colin's technical skills, the team worked together seamlessly to get each vehicle back on the road.
Their work was not without its challenges, however. The remote locations they visited presented unique obstacles, from the harsh desert temperatures to the rugged terrain. Yet, despite these difficulties, the crew persevered, using their knowledge and experience to overcome any hurdles that arose.
Throughout the day, the team demonstrated a level of professionalism and camaraderie that is truly admirable. From sharing sandwiches to offering words of encouragement, they worked together as a cohesive unit to achieve their goals.
As we close out our review of the crew's day, it is clear that they are well-equipped to handle any recovery situation that comes their way. With their combined expertise and dedication to one another, they will undoubtedly continue to provide top-notch service to their customers in the years to come.

have lady with us max misbehaves when he's in the mortar that's why we didn't bring him he wants to tear the headliner down so he's got to wait for the jeep to get down this road right here goes up to the right family ranch it's a place where you can come and camp problem with this road is if it rains at all it can't come up here we get a lot of calls on this road we've had dozens on this road probably got more than a dozen uploaded on this channel from on this road it's dry today like it's completely dry so i'm assuming that this person just wasn't paying attention and kind of drove off the road a little bit and can't get back on not a big deal we'll make sure and get them back on solid ground going too bad oh this is it was a speed related instability oh right there and right there let me just pull this back on the road time to reorganize it yeah i think it's time start it up roll this window down make sure the parking brake's off okay slowly turn the wheel to the right okay when you back this up onto the road that's where you're going to want to fly now those wheels are turned the wrong way which is the right way see if i can just do it with you idling if i'm not moving at all if i'm just scratching let's give it a tiny tiny bit of gas looking good okay here's your shirt there you go all right ed what happened he had a nice new truck and a family with him and he's lucky he didn't roll over okay so we have to take the more there to spot past kanab and we kind of don't want to drive it since it's kind of a chilly morning the heater works it's just kind of you know we have a truck so and we have this freaking killer trailer lady approves don't you you want to go huh so the reason why we're taking the this trailer is because matt and the crew are out on operation golden nugget with the other flatbeds so we're taking the box trailer let's see if you can load it the blanket loaded it's a tight fit so i'm in a dodge and i'm towing a trailer if only my mirrors would go up that's what they're for we're going to get another dodge with a camper shell on it he slid off the road sideways in some mud he's way in there too so we're gonna go you know it's gonna be a chore to go find him i think it'll be all right i think it'll be get out pretty easy there's dry road like 10 yards in front of them hopefully it stays dry but there's not a cloud in the sky so we're good so we're just barely getting to connect where we're going to pick up the customer shortly after we're going to unload the more bear and head up some dirt roads it's gonna be muddy

side i'll start pulling you forward and then try to straighten your wheels okay and then hopefully it pops out the top i'm not counting on it so you'll probably ride up to there and then it'll push you back on i'm thinking the more you pull me out like the wheel's gonna want to go that way so yeah yeah but uh yeah once we start moving get this wheel straightened out he got his tires a little bit straighter and you moved a little bit he's rubbing on that rope really hard i think rudy i think you're moving them enough that you could just pull them straight forward and you can go when he backs
