[The43501]

was that mike aka tryke

[nancy11952]

you know last time i had some one go on the shoulder i put him in the grass

[rbpm1997]

Bunch of dopes

[67keefer]

hadnt seen the show in a while are they still doing the show

[bykashka75]

those asshole container drivers do run 12 MPH over a posted speed limit and even faster at night.

[zacatetas]

@bykashka75 i've been cut off by soo many when I enter indiana, and they always have the shitiest equipment, the biggest piece of shit tractors you'd think they were put together with spare parts

[bykashka75]

@zacatetas so true, they are cheapest version of the taxi cab but for cargo

[bykashka75]

@johnpetermalcolm YES YES, idiot, it was in USA

[2talford]

four trucks ?! really ?! It's amazing that it took so many for such a small truck even if that lil 20 foot container was filler stem to stern with lead !!!!! I can see the ONE heavy-duty and the land-all just for time and convinience but four ?! GIMME A BREAK

[zacatetas]

wonder what was in the tainer

[bykashka75]

@zacatetas Tampons

[harley1450000]

marci is hot

[san379]

love your tv show is this clip on tv?

[7089540230]

@san379

The show is Great....This Clip has nothing to do with that show

it was filmed before they had a show

[TheDD5623]

@san379 i saw it on the show where i seen it first it was awsome

[san379]

@TheDD5623 cool.. but i dont see it on tv alot anymore.. does the speed chanel want to continue the season?

[olddogpark]

@san379 it looks like the truck driver got cut off and swerved to avoid and rolled

[ravenwind123]

i know here in montana it would cost about 200$ an hour per truck from the time it leaves the shop till it gets back home

[HBMAN665420]

rolling over in a truck hurts, done it, it just whips you down, its not a graduall falling, no, once the trailer goes, it just whips the cab over and it hurts.

[Ahhk99]

I would have recovered it in one peice  !!

[zachslove2010]

ive been in a wreck like this in a semi it was really scary except for the trailer was a flat bed nd yeahh

[wilburn4life86]

Why isn't that container locked down?

[MsDJ566]

love it

[d34dp5ych04h1r3]

it can be up to anywhere from 400 up an hr but this towing company is known world wide so im sure they charge alot

[7089540230]

@d34dp5ych04h1r3

Because they are Featured on the Speed Channel does not mean they should overcharge for tows...Airline Towing is a Great Competitor & Towing Company in the Chicago Area...They Should of done a Show on them!!!!!

[d34dp5ych04h1r3]

@7089540230 so very true maybe i was not wording it right. but they are a dang good company and they know how to do the stuff alot of other people pretend to know... so i give em thumbs up

[rockinredneck57]

@d34dp5ych04h1r3 They don't charge any more just because they are on TV. They have to stay competitive in their pricing just like everyone else. Those big wreckers are not cheap to own or operate for anyone.

[d34dp5ych04h1r3]

@rockinredneck57 so very true... good point

[TheJakesProductions]

holy crap my dad is a semi truck driver for roehl, i sure hope that dosnt happen to him!

[ludah99]

correction, they are on speed channel not spike!!! my mistake, both channels are for guys lol

[speedracer1963]

containers are usually top heavy because the idiots loading them dont know sh** about weight distribution. WTF

[piercedash1]

take a 5030 and turn over the whole thing.

[cndilkr]

just the bill from 3 fire departments is high

[llaroo87]

Yeah Im just curious to how expensive? What do these companys charge to like upright a 18 wheeler or pull a big truck out of the mud?

[7089540230]

@llaroo87

not sure of the exact amount...I know its Expensve...

[olddogpark]

@7089540230 a couple hundred and if its totaled they will just crash the cars in 30 days

[Uploader266]

@7089540230 I can go that from my company. I need to know how much it weighs first.

[piglett2195]

@llaroo87 We used to charge $275 for an EZ tow of a rig but when it's on it's side to start with , better get out ur big wallet

[2pittbullss]

1,500 for pulling out semi on to road.

just for a littel thing it is like 300 $ and up. it can take 10 min. of work and your bill 300 or more

[MaxC17]

@llaroo87 that's a good question... that sucks though... would you be fired right away or given a warning?

[67keefer]

@llaroo87 about 300 if its not wrecked or damaged more by the hour if its a wreck

[bloodbull123]

ya thats an expesive mistake

[llaroo87]

thank you for the info. piglett2195.

[R580NZ]

professional recovery crew, nice footage

[piglett2195]

I bet whatever's in that container is junk now

[FASANORACING]

@piglett2195 what ever was in there was junk anyway , from china!

[piglett2195]

@FASANORACING U probably have a good point there

[piglett2195]

going 2 fast & the freight was rather top heavy???

[Jdub37348431]

joey at the end

[rckid2001]

at 5:46 you can see joey. with the american hard hat.

[KillerStewie1]

Go O'hare Towing

[robkal56]

It's always nice to see professionals at work. Great control, even gentle righting the container. Good work, guys.

[MartinMazur]

I saw a few rigs and guys from Wrecked on Speed Channel.

[ezersdad]

big riggers suck...

[oney135]

trucks move this world with out them u wouldn't be here over half the accidents envolving trucks are caused from stupid 4 wheelers like u i would like to see u try to drive through big city rush hours in a truck with dumb asses like u cutting us off people in cars suck

[fetishtranny]

Fuck Truckers stay out of the left lane bitch ! 60 in a 70 zone

[oney135]

if it were'nt for trucks u would'nt be alive cause trucks move every thing and if they were to shut down this world wold come to a stand still in a day and we all say fuck 4 wheelers for getting in the way and cutting us off which probly happened here

[buliting1]

We are working for you, hauling everything you have to you. Most of our trucks are governed to a certain speed meaning, we can only go but so fast. Nevertheless, we are on very tight schedules. Are you afraid of big trucks? Maybe you should try driving them sometime, then you might have more respect for the people who keep you alive.

[joecroucher]

well said my old man is a truck driver and i know that most motorist have no respect for how demanding the job can get ppl cutting you up not giving you enough room at juntions omg i could go on forever ,on another note they were nice looking tow trucks and top marks to the operaters how smooth was that container righting

[roadwolf2]

@buliting1 too right man, and then you get companys who put automatics in their trucks just so they can get young inexperienced drivers to drive for them

[skoneczka122590]

i cant stand ohare towing.

[ludah99]

DO they still have that show on spike tv called wrecked with that Ohare team???

[7089540230]

i saw that show on national geographic channel today

[bob117713]

yes they do it is on the speed tv channel

[MotorCityHauss]

@ludah99 is on speed . i think they do

[mwd92]

does anybody no where ohare gets there flatbed trucks with the big rims and dual gas tanks i would really like to get me some

[rubs1389]

The driver must have payed a fortune for all the tow trucks..

[JBurk2322]

awesome video!!! Ohare is the best!! have u ever been to any of their locations?

[7089540230]

oh yea! I drop off coffee & donuts every morning to all their locations so they will have a great money making towing day

You didnt know that??

[JBurk2322]

hahaha wow thats cool and nice no i never knew that!

[rws676]

can u make a vid of 1 of their yards?

[xKAOTIXx]

i think you need special permission for that and they have a show on discovery channel

[JBurk2322]

yea we know the show and no u dont, u can just go there and ask them

[Mr68charger440]

@7089540230 Smart Ass!!

[kdog2804]

[kdog2804]

i love Ohare towing and do u know if that was truck 903 i coudnt tell

[JBurk2322]

[wreckermaster1]

No the Bulldog was there you can see it (Mike's truck)

[hundanth]

looks like the twin tators are getting a work out

[shadowandhannah]

There was only i rotator there

[rws676]

no 903 aka the misstress and 902 were both on sceene

[shadowandhannah]

yes now i see i watched the whole thing

[blerderha]

Hell yeah! Ohare towing! I love those guys.

[Tesetem]

Wilmington station is only about 7-10 min - running with lights and sierns - from where this happened. Also Wilmington is my home town, and I personally know about half the guys on the dept. and 2619 is their primary auto accident response unit.

[7089540230]

wilmington has an excellent fire department!

I have filmed them many times & they are great

[RageicaNiels]

dude how can it be you always are on the scene?

you got like 200 videos of road accidents

[7089540230]

lol..dude i got like 2000 videos of road accidents..ive only posted like 200 of them

its my job..Thanks for viewing

[RageicaNiels]

greatest job in the world! just stand there and watch while you get payed for it

[richardsk81591]

nice this was on the show wrecked!!!!i watched this 2 days ago!

[7089540230]

actually this one was not on that show..there was one a mile from this one on arsenal road that wrecked filmed..great show that is!

[justin3815]

i think the one u talkin about is wen the container truck over turned n joesy truck wouldnt work

[rws676]

you r thinkin of a different wreck-this was NOT on the show...

[NextelCupMK]

Thats why we have CRANES!

[hundanth]

Actually that's nothing close to a crane.

[krzy18]

I have to travel this area to go to work. Ever since the railyard at the old Joliet arsenal opened this area has become full of container trucks. Most have pretty raggedy equipment. The drivers are always on the cellphone. River Road has become a good place for DOT cops to hang out and make some money for the state.

[hummersmstr]

WOOT O'HARE I love watching them at work on the TV Series "Wrecked"

[alexi2341]

single and ready to mingle

[wrh1333]

They may have, but I'd rather they "overtow" it than undertow it and get someone else hurt. Or Not show up with enough equipment and tie up services for longer than needed. But yes, appears to be "overtowed." Keep the awesome videos coming brother!

[TheNameIsBEATTIE]

Can't always blame the driver, A lot of the time containers are badly loaded, By people who are on minimum wage,(Top heavy)And never been a passanger in a truck, let alone driven one.

[hummersmstr]

regaurdless, it is the Driver's job to make sure the Load is safe, a man pulling a digger on a trailer behind a Dump Truck got fined for damaging Two bridges in my town because his load wasnt done properly.

[TheNameIsBEATTIE]

You are right to say that its the drivers job to make sure the load is secure,And the driver in your town was at fault, But what you are failing to see, Is that the driver could have secured this container to his trailer, But how the contents of the container are secured are beyond him, as most are sealed.

There could have been an unsecured dump truck or a vehicle in this one. (ps thanks for your comment)

[rainman05]

O`hare towing has a tv show on the speed channel on july 17

[wrdshmn]

Those poor rail bastards usually get paid on the load. Get a fucking hourly wage, you guys. Then you can relax a little behind the wheel.

[FightnOwl]

SLOW DOWN, container cabbie. Probably a POLACK or some other eastern Euro-prick. 70 hours in 6 days, guys! Not 700.

[pollepost]

In Denmark we use only one truck with a crane to lift such containers. And we have hooks with safetylock and special build bars that. I think safety is good, but it looks like overkill with 3 huge trucks for such an operation.

One question: Does the cameraman get a hard-on when shooting the flashing lights, and does he have a selconfidence-mustache?

[7089540230]

BIG ONE! THOSE LITES PAY MY BILLS

[pollepost]

Do you make a living of recording accidents?

[7089540230]

LOL..YES!!

[1twenty1]

You have a half million dollar truck (75 ton rotator im guessing?) and it STILL took 3 wreckers to upright a loaded container!!! Talk about breaking it off in the customer!!Come to Texas boys, we'll show you how its done...

[evillive321]

texas ppl needs alot to learn BOY..u guys only know how to drive on the highway,straight roads,,thats all u can do BOY,and that tractor is around 8 tons only,trailer,,depends on the cargo inside it,

that tractor is a ford make,it only cost around $75.000 if brand new..thanks for lestning

[1twenty1]

1st off...dont assume i dont know anything about the wrecker business...its obvious that you guys like to take ALL your equipment whether its needed or not (did a little research on you) and 2ndly, your "boy" jabs are equal to your mentality (duh) ...they dont bother me, cause me and my "boys" know our job...and by the way...spell check is free...try it....

[evillive321]

sorry boy...i didnt understand you previos comment...

[1twenty1]

i can understand why

[rws676]

its only a 60 ton rotator

[1twenty1]

I really dont care what size the truck is, it dont take 12 wreckers to flip a 20' container...well...not in Texas anyway, but then again, we know what we're doing, and we dont gouge the customer. But hey, you gotta make your money when you can, might as well make it off 1 call. By the way, saw the previews for the show, pretty stupid...i still say some are staged. Just my opinion, i'm entitled i think.

[hummersmstr]

if the weight in that trailer is too heavy to move otherwise, and si shifted, which it most likely would be if there was infact a load in that container, then the best thing to do is use wreckers to move it instead of trying to unload it where it was, and alot of those wreckers were probably waiting to take the first shot, but O'Hare was the first to shoot and got the job.

[1twenty1]

huh...?

[JGMagoo]

Man!...Those are some good lookin' wreckers!

[CandleLites]

oh shots

[emam2132]

i bet this guy had 48k pounds of corn in that container

[pagentelmon]

you just never know when that loads gonna shift in them contaners. hes some advice....slow down.

[novit504]

them damn 20' containers... I hate them. They are always loaded top heavy

[IamRob123058]

Someone i know rolled over today on 290 bye 355 thats why i take it easy with containers

[mnc51]

Looks like a real SECURE load there..lol

[chuckrl]

The box is what they call a "container". They have 4 hook point (one on each corner, that's where they lifted it from). They are placed on a special trailer to haul them. The reason why they are like that is so they can go on a train or ship for overseas goods.

[mnc51]

Like I said. The box shouldn't have come off the trailer that easily, hence..looks like a real SECURE load there. By the way, thanks for the information I already knew. :)

[dessertratt357]

doug you are a homo.....

[MudwestSwampBoggers]

wow when was this i drive these roads all the time, i got a cottage in wilmington. good footage
