Yeah, I would get annoyed until they paid me, LOL. That red F150.... I wish I had video of that going off the side, because it just doesn't make sense unless he was going too fast and driving like a jackass. But then I would think it would have gone all the way down the side of the mountain.

Yeah I was curious what he makes on some of those calls. I watched the one where someone refused to pay and that's about all I've heard about pricing. Can't be too cheap cz he's gotta drive sometimes 1-2hrs in rough terrain to get to them.

Yeah I'd love to see a video too cz it's just not adding up. The only thing I can discern is that the driver was being reckless and is lucky he didn't go for one last ride. Side note... Matt's friend must've really trusted him to hop in the truck to steer it lol

I thought these guys didn't want to run their engines through the water, but I guess not, LOL. I guess they were afraid to get swept away. I woulda shut my motor off.

1. I'm surprised he doesn't have/use a tilt-bed trailer for recoveries like this.
2. I think I would *not* have wanted to go on that ride!

EDIT: I noticed the CO rental plates on the "Water Crossing" F150.

LOL... he posted this in FB a few minutes ago. Someone did a parody of his recovery videos.

I parked a 350 rancher on the back rack once... but it was on the peak of a steep small hill. Passenger leaned back we fell off the back, scrambled for our lives and my cousin was laughing behind us cz the whole time he saw the fourwheeler go straight up and stop, yet we were running for our lives.... it was funny once I realized we weren't injured and the rancher was ok.... very surprised how he absolutely destroyed that front end and then stood it straight up. I agree with him that it had to have rolled/flipped. Hope the people weren't there cz they got a ride back home and not an ambulance ride.

I bet they did.... the owner was never in the video. Pulling it down, he kind of messed up that front control arm - but what do you do? LOL
