This wasn't funny at the time but it kinda is now. Was towing a car for a guy, he was with me of course, column lock failed and I forgot my straps. Needless to say it wasn't pretty seeing that car whiping around behind that wrecker at 55mph. I alomost lost the darn thing. Learned my lesson about tieing off the steering wheel though. [/QU


i drove a 5 ton wrecker in the army, (1968) going up a long mountain, 2 lane rd. in GERMANY towing a tractor and trailer loaded with tank motors, running about 30 mph and the tow bar bolts pulled out of the wrecker body and the tractor, trailer, and about 6 tank motors rolled back down the rd. and went off of the side of the mountain before I could stop it. now that will get your attention. about 200,000.00 or more of stuff

all 18 wheels on the rd.
