20 years of trucking and I’ve never seen THIS!

Casey LaDelle is such a kind, helpful and wonderful person. Here's some additional info on the person who owns the 1994 Freightliner Casey moved to Sprague River, OR. USAF Veteran, 16 years active duty, 4x combat tours, USAF Combat Search and Rescue, Special Operations Command, combat-related PTSD, combat-related injuries [VA Disability rating]. Once Casey learned about the situation he quickly, almost immediately, came to "rescue the rescue guy" and help move the semi truck to the new location. Casey makes no mention in the video of towing fees or how quickly he showed up to help once he learned of the circumstances. In true Casey-style fashion, he showed up as his normal, happy self ready to work and made quick work of the tow. Casey makes no mention of his efforts to help a disabled combat veteran in a jam and that fact is quite central to the overall story. Casey quickly helped a combat veteran in a jam who otherwise had no clear solution to the problem. What Casey treats and presents as an easy and routine job for him, changed the situation entirely for a combat veteran in a real pickle of a situation. I hope Casey gets enough views and likes on this video to help recoup his uncovered expenses associated with helping a combat veteran in a jam.

Casey, we met at the Wrecker Games! I'm the crazy lady that was stuck in a wheel chair!! My hubby and I have loved your videos since you started and continue to enjoy them. Don't let any of the negativity of the haters get you down. Your videos offer grreat value, education, and entertainment to many. Your work and your service to those in need, far outweighs anything that those that judge you harshly could ever offer! Keep up the great work, and we hope to see you again sometime! 😊

I for one, enjoy watching a no drama, normal working day for you. All your videos are interesting. Thanks.

I've watched other heavy wrecker channels enough to know that the rarity and safety of picking up and dropping off on private property is a welcome luxury. I'm happy to see the "good for business" working for you. And well done with the Trunk or Treat.

I trust animals more than people... That crow has good taste in trucks...and people... Well done Casey!

Beautiful setup you have. Alot cheaper then building a wrecker. Smart.

I am happy with a no drama video. Too many YouTubers feel they need to use fake drama to generate views. Thanks for not being one of them.

I loved the interaction with the Bird. It is great to be able to communicate with the wildlife.

Def is why I bought an old truck. Mid nineties Detroit 60 series

That crow is just like you…He operates on a wing and a prayer.😎

The Zacklift 30 ton is amazingly versatile! It even does trunk or treat :face-blue-wide-eyes:

Little safety tip for you Casey that’ll hopefully help you in the future. When you were tying the rear tandem down on the Freightshaker to your truck I noticed that you don’t have a full wrap on the drum of your ratchet strap before you began cranking it down. Always get a full wrap on your ratchet drum before putting tension on the nylon. Without the full wrap the strap is only using the friction of a tiny steel cylinder to hold whatever the load is instead of the friction of the strap material itself. It didn’t fail on you this time it is only a matter of time before it does. I made the mistake of taking a loaded flatbed that someone else had tied down without untarping it to check it all. It wasn’t much later that I learned how much of a mess a 3200lb pallet of crushed iron ore makes on the highway. Good luck to ya 👍

So glad you could help this gentleman Casey. Losing housing on short notice is always a terrible situation.

The thing that really saves equipment is having only one driver❤ You drive this truck like yoy paid for It. What a wonderful truck😊

Thank You Casey for helping a fellow combat Vet. Thank You Sir for your service! I sobered up while in the service. 35 years ago I read and learned early AAs when starting their Alano Clubs kept coming up with rules. Rule 42 (I could be wrong about the number) "Let's not take ourselves too Seriously"! Among my daily tools for sobriety, (as you can tell by my picture) I do not take myself too seriously. Mr. LaDelle I am glad I never needed your service when I drove OTR, but I do have a funny to share. When I'd leave my truck for a shower, I'd throw my saddlebags over my shoulder and head in to the truck stop. Not always but occasionally a fool would ask; "hey cowboy, where'd ya leave your horse?". My simple and mean reply; "he's at your house and when your wife can walk again can you ask her to take him home?" Most times it got a laugh! Truckers have to have a great sense of humor and many men like being caught with a line they know is stupid. But, we all do it to break the boredom of a day's routine. A BIG Thank You to all truck drivers doing a Thankless job while being told needlessly that they are number one in crude ways. Stay safe and keep the rubber side down. With Love and Respect Casey, you are in my prayers Hoka Hey

I love watching your videos. It started because of the offroad snow recoveries. Now with the heavy its even better. I ran wrecker everything from an 8 ton up to 50 tons. Did that for 2 decades, finally retired from it 8 or 10 years ago. No sleep takes a toll on you. This lets me remember the fun it was sometimes. Keep making the videos for us, your doing an outstanding job at it. Really love the charity work you do also. And finally my opinion on your setup, givin my experience over the years, that seems to be the most versatile setup that I've seen operate. It honestly seems overbuilt, which is a very good thing.

As for the Dep the environmentalists were also real excited about MTBE's as well until they saw what was happening at Lake Tahoe.

That wrecker is a fantastic piece of equipment. Impressive.

Perfect "trunk" for the trunk or treat!!

I run Oregon almost every month. We haul Tigercat loggers and feller bunchers over there. I don’t like breaking down on the road but I sure know who I’m gonna call if I ever need a tow… Keep up the good work @CaseyLadelle !!! You are a true inspiration for many of us !
