We Saved The Vegetables, But Almost Lost BIG On This Semi Recovery!

It was all hands on deck for the Wilcox crew when we received the call for this rolled over semi loaded with green peppers and cucumbers. The snowy weather and frigid temperatures made for a tasking night performing the recovery itself. First the tractor and trailer were winched out of the field and back up into the roadway. From there the crew began rigging recovery straps under the side of the trailer. Because the trailer appeared that the center was sagging, the decision was made to bring in the set of MatJack air bags. With the use of the air bags and both rotators, we were able to upright the tractor and loaded trailer, saving the vegetables but certainly not without turmoil. Watch as this recovery tests our limits!
