Now I know i kinda checked out last year on my country... but can anyone explain what I'm looking at? Or is it just more anger flowing over behind the wheel.

When ever there is a Mayday Call on the VHF for a boat in severe distress…… The local tow boats think it’s a full blown boat race to get there! It can….. and has….. turned into……… whatever goes GOES, to get the first line on the distressed vessel.

Pretty normal for wreck chasers in the city. They even have police scanners broadcasting through the shop to hear about accidents faster. A customer of mine had an employee shoot another driver after the guy swung at his employee with a bat.

I didn't see any company signage on the trucks and don't think they are tow company rigs, they look like repo rigs. Couldn't see it on my phone but can on my desktop computer, the red Ford single cab stuffs a black 4 door truck or SUV right at the beginning then gets the worst of the damage from rear ending the dodge. WTF, were these rigs stolen and bumper trucks ensued?

Wait! WTF!
Kinda seems to me the red Ford was trying to leave the scene and the red dodge kinda blocked him? Then he backed out after hitting the dodge and bailed? The cop sure was jumpy. Haha that's pure pandimonium right there.

A child hood friend of mine has been a repo guy since HS in the late 80's, and I have assisted him in my past. A repo truck has the DOT rating stickers on it and a low sling from my experience but no company names on them. All of those trucks look like repo trucks in my opinion.

They all had slings on the back and from what I can see on my desktop, no company signage. Only rigs I have seen with slings and no signage other than GVW are repo trucks.

I just don't get it...those trucks are expensive as hell, and if it's broken, it isn't going to make any money. It's kind of like the idiots at a street takeover...destroying nice cars.

I can’t help but think there’s a lot more to the story to lead to that kind of carnage both physically and legally. I can’t imagine law enforcement seeing that and not doing anything.

Not every guy can make the grade at Swift trucking. Some guys aren't able to drive dualie either.
