HERE WE TOW AGAIN!!! NEW STAR & FENIEX LIGHTS IN ACTION!!
Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, the crew gets another opportunity to test out our new 2024 Western Star 49X with a Miller Industries, Century 9055XL. The 9055XL is a 50 ton integrated (non-rotating) 3-stage boom. The XL is for Extra Long reach and has the same capacity as the standard 50T 3-stage. A customer calls us to tow one of their trucks off the interstate ramp after it went into "limp" mode. This is just a standard, everyday tow, but many viewers have asked for this type of video. So, I use the new Western Star 9055XL and I show off the new Feniex lighting package with the ability to switch between red & blue lights while on the shoulder to amber lights for towing. I also play around with a new camera mount for some different video shots. Hope you enjoy them. So far, I am loving this truck and what it can do!!! Thank you, God, for blessing our family and our business. Watch as we continue to receive God's blessings. There is much more to come!!! I hope you enjoy this video!!!
We have a difficult and dangerous job and we take it very seriously, that doesn't mean we can't have fun and enjoy our work. We strive to be polite, professional, efficient, and safe...and still can have fun. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

My common analogy, "there are many ways to reach 10". I could have approached this (any) job several different ways. The approach method is important, but more important is achieving the desired result, safely.
Again, a very special thank you to all my viewers, family, and friends who having taken the time to show their support. May God bless and protect you all!!!

    I find it bit saddening that even the professional drivers often does not slow, when i got my license the trainer always told me to slow down extra cause that forced the rest of the traffic to slow down to, guess part of being a professional driver, then everything is expected to be delivered in 1 hour even if it is 500 miles.
