Semi-Truck Towing on April Fools Day

Semi-Truck Towing on April Fools Day

On April 1, 2022, Team Pro-Tow responded to an accident involving a semi-truck and trailer, and a bus. Unfortunately, there was significant damage to the semi-truck, including the fuel tank. This job required semi-truck towing and a diesel fuel spill recovery.

Diesel Fuel Spill Recovery on April Fool’s Day

Diesel fuel was all over the roadway, and this was no April Fool’s Day joke! We worked closely with our Pro-Enviro spill response team to conduct a scene assessment and develop an accident and spill recovery plan. Containing the fuel spill and ensuring it didn’t spread was critical before any semi-truck towing could occur.

First, we ensured the leaky tank was no longer spilling fuel. Then, we used absorbents to the spill to dry up the contaminates so they could be swept away and disposed of. When working on a spill recovery, we thoroughly clean all contaminated areas. A thorough cleanup of spilled substances like fuel reduces the risk of pollution, fires, and traffic hazards.

Then It’s Time for Semi-Truck Towing

Once the fuel was contained and cleaned, Team Pro-Tow could rig up the casualty and remove it from the scene. First, we detached the truck from the trailer to make the process easier. That way, we could remove each casualty at a time. Then, we towed the truck and trailer to our secure storage yard, filled out the required paperwork and called it a job well done.

Car Hauler Needs Heavy Truck Accident Recovery

Car Hauler Needs Heavy Truck Accident Recovery

In this incident, on January 10, 2022, a sizeable semi-car hauler carrying a load of vehicles had a severe collision with a passenger vehicle. Team Pro-Tow received the call to help with the heavy truck accident recovery. We selected the necessary equipment for the heavy truck towing and headed out to the scene.

Car Hauler Accident Recovery

Once there, we did a scene assessment before starting the recovery work. A fully loaded tractor-trailer can weigh around 80,000 pounds when fully loaded. In addition, the hauler was carrying a full load of vehicles, which meant that Pro-Tow needed to use our heavy-duty equipment for the job.

Our mobile crane service can lift up to 50 tons of weight, so even a fully loaded car carrier is no problem. In addition to the 50-ton mobile cranes, we have every size of tow truck, flatbed, and certified staff to provide professional solutions to every problem. Thanks to our specialized equipment, our Team Pro-Tow can get nearly any sized vehicle out of a bad situation.

In this incident, we worked safely and efficiently to recover the car hauler and assisted with this heavy truck accident recovery in any way we could.

24-Hour Emergency Towing

In addition to mobile crane services, we offer out-of-area transport, 21-hour on-site service and roadside repair. Our goal in every situation is to provide safe, top-quality repairs on all makes and models of vehicles. We work promptly to help with heavy truck towing and ensure everything goes smoothly and safely. Whenever you need roadside repairs, towing or support, you can always call and trust Pro-Tow for support.

Fishing for Ford Explorers Vehicle Recovery

In this incident, on February 28, 2022, flooded road conditions caused a Ford Explorer to become submerged in the ditch beside the road. Luckily for the driver, Team Pro-Tow came more than prepared to help with the vehicle recovery service.

Vehicle Recovery

Team Pro-Tow arrived with a crane lift and flatbed trailer to handle the recovery. After assessing the situation, we devised a plan and worked to recover the car. Setting up the crane, we connected it to the car and carefully lifted it out. We then secured it on the flatbed trailer and towed it away.

Digging Potatoes – Spud Spill Cleanup

Digging Potatoes – Spud Spill Cleanup

On January 2, 2020, we got a call about a load of potatoes that had spilled into a ditch. The initial report stated that around 5,000 to 10,000 pounds of potatoes needed recovery. But, after the cargo manifest, we learned it was 19,420 pounds! So, we requested some images to help form a recovery plan, including what equipment to bring.

After reviewing the images, we settled on bringing a flatbed dump trailer, a compact track loader with buckets and sweeping attachments, a commercial Landoll flatbed trailer, grain sacks to store the spilled potatoes, and a road closure kit. Once ready, Pro-Tow and Pro-Enviro headed out for this cargo recovery.

Scooping Up Potatoes

At the scene, we quickly realized that the images hadn’t quite captured the full depth of the cargo recovery and spill cleanup. For example, the ditch was greater than 10 feet deep and located about 20 feet away from the side of the roadway. There were also parts of the vehicle scattered across the road. In addition, a ravine at the bottom of the trench created wet conditions while we worked. These factors would make the spill recovery difficult.

We put together a new, better recovery plan despite the many challenging factors. While digging out the potatoes with shovels, we also set up a platform for the excavator. Once we set that up, we used the excavator to remove the potatoes and put them into the grain sacks. The work still proved to be more challenging than thought, with the different trench conditions and then it started raining. Still, our team didn’t quit or give up but diligently continued to scoop and bag potatoes.

Potatoes Cleared. Call Cleared.

After several hours it started to become dark, so we called in some additional help for the last stretch of the spill cleanup. Eventually, we got every potato cleaned up and bagged. With that part finally handled, we loaded up all our equipment and cleaned the debris left from the accident. We also used the compact track loader with a bucket attachment to smooth the land which got disturbed during the cargo recovery.

Before leaving, we cleared everything else up and then headed back to the storage yard. There, we would store the potatoes until the owner determined a plan for them. Then, before calling it a day, we reconditioned and stored all the equipment in its original locations.
