cant really tell i guess because the wrecker is on is a 1.5 ton long wheel base wrecker.. so it makes the limo look smaller.. but its pretty long.

so i got a call while i was at the doctors office, i had a backhoe, hanging off a trailer,

i show up start to work the job and my boss shows up with other ideas, i tell him i got it i got it.. but with all the white people around he wanted to feel like a boss, so i let him call the shots. while i worked the lines, we get to a point where he states "thats it he can back off now him self" i tell him no.. and we should do this and that.. but he insists ... so i instruct the driver to come forward so that i can remove a wheel chock i had behind the back hoe.. but he yells no!! he needs to come back.. so the driver comes back.. and the back hoe flips up and to the side and rolls over.. with my boss in the fall path i yell mike move mike move mike move! hes frozen .. so i reach out and wrap him up and chunk my boss side ways 5 feet or so just as the bucket of the loader grazes my hand.... my heart was pumping and i didn't believe what just happened.. it was so fast and i just picked up my boss 280 or so 5 foot even and tossed him... i quickly yelled to driver are you ok! as he was climbing out the top.. then yelled to my boss im sorry i threw you im sorry but .. and he quickly said its ok its ok its ok .

good lord job comes with close calls,. its the nature, but im used to fending for my self, not others. im just glad i was there, he would have took a 3 yard steel bucket to the face surely fucking him off.

most ALL those shows are fake as shit.

 there are only 2 real ones

hwy thru hell  on nat geo  and WRECKED on the speed channel

 

 

 

  well i have been doing this for almost 10 years, 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the most part....

 

 it used to be very fun everyday not knowing what the day or night will be like or the shit i may see... but after all this time... mostly its the same ole shit every day... only once and a while do we have  wrecks that really perplex the mind and challenge me on the recovery aspect .. this was one of them.

 

 i enjoy what i do for the most part just wish i had better newer equintment do to it with .
