That's a hell of a way to spend your Thanksgiving, but it is nice to see someone actually care and try to clean up do the right thing. Not too many tow truck drivers do that. You're a good man. Keep up the good work. Keep them videos coming
Reminds me of story I heard from one of my uncles. They were out cruising one night and enjoying some sodie pops (ahem). They ran off the road into v a man's barn. Owner of barn came out and said "that's a hell of a place for a barn door. Next morning my uncles were back at the barn with tools and materials repairing the barn.
Yeah the house got the worst out of that wreck..truck even looks fixable. That driver definitely needs help. Jonathan is truly an unsung hero on CZcams. No merch, no patreon. Quite an unusual variety of subjects, especially all the steam engines!I would love to see this channel go big. Surely there's a lot of steam enthusiasts that would enjoy that work. These wrecks are also quite interesting.
I've often wondered how drunk a person would have to be to hit a HOUSE! This kinda thing just boggles my mind. Thank you for taking us along on your adventure Jonathan
These past few videos remind me of when I was a mechanic for a wrecker service and the stuff the "road buzzards" used to pull into the yard. Each wreck or tow, had a story to go with it. It also reminds me of when I was a very young man working at the junk yard and trying to figure out things about a wreck. Back then, often EMS, or whoever cleaned out the wrecks didn't always do a real good job.... 😞
A guy that I knew went off the road and thru the back wall of a unreinforced concrete block garage, The owner kept the fellow,s pickup until the insurance company paid for the garage,
I wish you had a broom on the truck but I could see your were gonna get the job done no matter what and not have glass falling on the Hwy. Thats why I watch every Jonathan video. No matter what the topic is Just a hard working man and hard working hands getting after it. No face in the camera yelling whasss up you tube with goofy sunglasses on. No silly games, begging for viewers, or hawking merchandise. Just gets right into what your fixing or getting done today. But if you ever made a T shirt it'd have to say " That's not a problem " Lol
You are a fine and amazing man Jonathan and i am sure you see some terrible sights,Thanks for sharing and an honor to view your many accomplishments.Stay safe-love your videos!
Many thanks for including some videos of "normal" wrecker calls. Unless you have done these you would not appreciate the variety of situations that happen. I ran wreckers for some time and can attest to that. Great video as usual.
You handled that admirably, I have enjoyed your content for a long time and this is a perfect example of why. Most tow truck drivers would have swept that glass on the lawn.
I know this is hard work and I have much respect for you. I am concerned that I may be hearing asthma as you work. I know that sound all too well. Take care of yourself, Sir.
This is what pays the bills and buys the groceries. Plus it allows Jonathan to bring us to the wonderful videos of the steam engines and hot rods and such. Thank you Jonathan for all that you do.
When I was a volunteer firefighter holidays were always spent on calls. Drunks were always a large percentage of calls after they wrecked but also a large number of heart attacks. Had one call of a rollover out on the interstate and the woman was covered head to toe in food. She had the back end of her hatchback filled with food on her way to the family thanksgiving dinner.
i did police recovery in UK for 12yrs, but lost the contract [my firm wouldn't service the cops personal cars for free] i still miss it in my head, but my 61yr old body does not. it was a good 12yrs, always something different, always something unbelieveble on the best ones i took polaroids [to justify recovery costs] but they have faded out still got those mad memories [+ plenty of small scars] to make me smile...
Jonathan really like the way you bring me along with you after getting after you get a request to you and your tow truck. You are very good at explaining details of what was requested and your video is spot on what's ahead. You get all of my attention and as always my respect. You area a very special man. Thank you.
You really know how to celebrate---- what next truck Vs Ship. You really do deserve those steam engines as a hobby, you work for them. Take care and try to get some rest/sleep.
Jonathan be careful with the glass you gonna scratch the paint on the hood haha I love your videos. Always watching thanks hope no one was seriously hurt happy Thanksgiving
You're running your tail off. Hopefully, you had a nice Thanksgiving with your family. I just don't understand why people drive intoxicated these days. With Uber and lift and everything else out there, there's no reason to drive intoxicated. I live in a town of just over 600 residents, and we can get an Uber even though the first major city of 28k residents is 30 minutes away. Being a firefighter/EMT for around 10 or so years, unfortunately, I had my fair share of scooping the body's up. Still hurts thinking about how the drunk 90 percent of the time walked away without hardly a scratch and the thought of another family whose life was about to be shattered like the glass all over the hood of that rig. Thanks for all that you do, Mr. Jonathan
Cudos to you Brother. All the glass/parts of the vehicle, in the vehicle. And all the property left I the same condition as found. Your efforts will reward you, as I hope sooner than later. Good job. Good person. I enjoy your past few videos I've watched also.
You were very conscientious about cleaning up the glass and very professional. That is a heck of a wreck. Lucky no one in the house got hurt. Take care of yourself out there.
I really like the new camera set up and all the tow videos ! The sound isn't the greatest but not bad and you get used to it pretty quick and it's fine !
I hope the insurance company goes after that driver to get some of their money back or at least try (fat chance with our wussified court system) to stop him from ever driving again!
Great video yet again. Now heres a thing. Over in the states a DUI gets charged pretty dam quick and license suspended almost immediately. Here in the UK a driver gets arrested. Tested for alcohol level. Then is released to await a court date which can be a minimum of 6 months later....in the mean time they keep on drivin till the judge takes license away.
That's quite a way to star your Thanksgiving, Jonathan, I sure hope you didn't get interrupted during your own family's Thanksgiving Celebration later, but I know you well enough that if your phone rang in the middle of dinner, that you would answer the call and go do your "duty" God Bless and stay safe and I hope that you didn't get you Family Thanksgiving disrupted.
Had many nights where we're warm and cozy. Sleeping like a baby. When that Hotline phone rang.(Outdoor mounted bell on the garage!) Jump up and head out to a cold truck.
Sad that idiots still run around all night drunk until they hit something! Had an EX brother in law who only lived to drink. Wrecked every vehicle he ever had, only a miracle that he didn't kill someone. Finally drank himself to death, liver failure. A true drunkard, self centered and the only thing he truly cared about was booze! Always finding some excuse to get drunk!
I know you are a ex smoker...and you have emphysema...but you might want to try lemon juice and water to help your breathing...I've been a subscriber for years and it's never boring watching what you can do! Thanks for all your hard work!
I had childhood asthma , was in the hospital for 3 mos. 4yrs. in a row .But i used to eat oranges to help me breath . I still eat lemons with a little salt on them today!
Look like there was enough glass for a sliding glass door - is that what they drove it through? I didn't hear no whistling on this call neither - when you're whistling, l try to figure out how that would sound through a harmonica 🙂
So you're saying it was a drunk driver I take it he hehe "Gonna get drunk smellin this" Poor homeowner have to deal with that on the holiday because someone wanted to be a jackwagon. I hope they had or could get a 4x4 to stuff under that corner so it doesn't come down later. I would have dumped all that glass right in the bed of the truck for the truck owner to deal with although likely they wouldn't have had to, you probably would if they had no insurance.
I used to be surprised by stuff I saw, but it takes a lot to shock me now.I bet you've seen about every kind of smashed up cars in your years of the work. Tell us about the craziest one you have dealt with. Car up a tree or whatever.
That's a hell of a way to spend your Thanksgiving, but it is nice to see someone actually care and try to clean up do the right thing. Not too many tow truck drivers do that. You're a good man. Keep up the good work. Keep them videos coming

I’m really liking this new “real world towing” series. Tow truck drivers like Jonathan are unsung heroes.
Yeah the house got the worst out of that wreck..truck even looks fixable. That driver definitely needs help.

Very conscientious of you. You truly are a good man Jonathan.
I've often wondered how drunk a person would have to be to hit a HOUSE! This kinda thing just boggles my mind. Thank you for taking us along on your adventure Jonathan
Yeah... these wrecks are super exciting. 👍👍👍👍
Drunk enough to drive too fast. Drunk enough to pass out sleepin. Drunk enough to think driving was a good idea.
These past few videos remind me of when I was a mechanic for a wrecker service and the stuff the "road buzzards" used to pull into the yard. Each wreck or tow, had a story to go with it.

" That's not a problem "
Lol
Bless you for your thoughtful deeds and integrity. You are an outstanding person and an excellent role model.
You are a fine and amazing man Jonathan and i am sure you see some terrible sights,Thanks for sharing and an honor to view your many accomplishments.Stay safe-love your videos!
Many thanks for including some videos of "normal" wrecker calls. Unless you have done these you would not appreciate the variety of situations that happen. I ran wreckers for some time and can attest to that. Great video as usual.
The sweeping glass. You are a good man.
You handled that admirably, I have enjoyed your content for a long time and this is a perfect example of why. Most tow truck drivers would have swept that glass on the lawn.
I know this is hard work and I have much respect for you. I am concerned that I may be hearing asthma as you work. I know that sound all too well. Take care of yourself, Sir.
Diagnosed with severe emphysema 4 years ago
@@jonathanw4942 Take care of yourself! 121,000+ people need you!
It's been a long time since you've uploaded recovery videos, I've missed them. Thanks for sharing.
This is what pays the bills and buys the groceries. Plus it allows Jonathan to bring us to the wonderful videos of the steam engines and hot rods and such. Thank you Jonathan for all that you do.
There's an old saying that goes something like this ' alcohol and gasoline don't mix ' !
When I was a volunteer firefighter holidays were always spent on calls. Drunks were always a large percentage of calls after they wrecked but also a large number of heart attacks. Had one call of a rollover out on the interstate and the woman was covered head to toe in food. She had the back end of her hatchback filled with food on her way to the family thanksgiving dinner.
Should have shoveled the glass in the back or the front of the truck. But it was thoughtful to put it in that bag.
Honestly, with all of your projects, I had no idea that you worked so much.
i did police recovery in UK for 12yrs, but lost the contract [my firm wouldn't service the cops personal cars for free] i still miss it in my head, but my 61yr old body does not.
it was a good 12yrs, always something different, always something unbelieveble
on the best ones i took polaroids [to justify recovery costs] but they have faded out
still got those mad memories [+ plenty of small scars] to make me smile...

Jonathan be careful with the glass you gonna scratch the paint on the hood haha I love your videos. Always watching thanks hope no one was seriously hurt happy Thanksgiving
Off subject...J&L Railroad (videos) has a two stage steam rolling mill engine. The low pressure side is a giant Corliss engine.
He was puling the Tod engine out of the mill when i was trying to get my Bates corliss years ago.

Some of us just like to cruise around drunk and run into houses !!
Cudos to you Brother. All the glass/parts of the vehicle, in the vehicle. And all the property left I the same condition as found. Your efforts will reward you, as I hope sooner than later. Good job. Good person. I enjoy your past few videos I've watched also.

You're the man Johnathon W! Youre a good man and you put your all in everything you do!
I'm digging it! I like the wreck videos👍
I really like the new camera set up and all the tow videos ! The sound isn't the greatest but not bad and you get used to it pretty quick and it's fine !
Drunk driving I supose. People like that should not be allowed to ever drive again 😮
THANKS fer postin lad !!
HAPPY THANKSGIVIN to ya EH !!
Great video Jonathon, I suppose the person was drunk
You are a hard working man. Thanks for taking us along. Get some sleep.👍🇺🇸
How do we stop these houses from jumping out in front of traffic?
After the insurance company was done repairing my house I think I'd put in some concrete filled 5 inch steel pipes along that wall of the house
I hope the insurance company goes after that driver to get some of their money back or at least try (fat chance with our wussified court system) to stop him from ever driving again!
oh the holiday joys of great weather never good
Good job. I just knew that the roof would fall. Thanks for sharing 👍
Excellent video Johnathan W :) and glad keeping roads safe there also much more too!
Driver had to much" Wild Turkey" and got behind the wheel.
I love all your videos but I like these recovery videos the best, we civilians don’t get to see this kinda stuff much.
Great video yet again. Now heres a thing. Over in the states a DUI gets charged pretty dam quick and license suspended almost immediately. Here in the UK a driver gets arrested. Tested for alcohol level. Then is released to await a court date which can be a minimum of 6 months later....in the mean time they keep on drivin till the judge takes license away.
Wow what a mess Jonathan, some peoples kids good job man take care 👍
Fella tore up a good truck. Those Extended Cabs haul 8ft goods in the back still.
And remember Folks Dont Drink and Drive. You never know when a house is going to run out in Front of you.
And yet another one, I’m diggin’ it!!
What a mess lots of silliness on the roads this time of year
Wow, what a mess!!
Now that's waking up to a bad hangover he's gonna need a drink bad
A little too much thanksgiving cheer!!!
Really enjoy the vehicle recovery vids.
Enjoy the dull moments between the chaos!
Be careful don’t scratch the paint
I know you call yourself a road janitor but sometimes you clean up private property too
Truck missed my house by 100 feet a couple months ago.
Honey I’m home
You have been very busy. Thanks for the videos.
That's quite a way to star your Thanksgiving, Jonathan, I sure hope you didn't get interrupted during your own family's Thanksgiving Celebration later, but I know you well enough that if your phone rang in the middle of dinner, that you would answer the call and go do your "duty" God Bless and stay safe and I hope that you didn't get you Family Thanksgiving disrupted.

At least Mother Nature finally did what our worthless court system didn't do....get him off the road for good!
I know you are a ex smoker...and you have emphysema...but you might want to try lemon juice and water to help your breathing...I've been a subscriber for years and it's never boring watching what you can do! Thanks for all your hard work!
Actually I have the same as Jonathan what helps me breath is a THC gummy. But unfortunately with his job he couldn't use them.
I had childhood asthma , was in the hospital for 3 mos. 4yrs. in a row .But i used to eat oranges to help me breath . I still eat lemons with a little salt on them today!
1:05 Crystal Lake....Is there an old Childrens camp across from lake View per chance, with a care taker named Jason? muhahahahaha.....
Cool Good Job...
That's crazy
😮 wow
That's some parking job for sure 😮❤
amazing had the same happen here but so much brush all was hidden
Happy Thanksgiving...geez...
Thank you, Sir.
🤔 I know I put it in park, I'm pretty sure I put it in park, ah heck I forget if I actually put it in park🤦♂️
👍🏻🍻
ya was thinking wheels would be nice if you had helper
You're breathing heavy Jonathan Good luck
Central California watching
I like that lidcam.
Holy 💩
That place is more dangerous than Washington d.c
Drinking and driving don’t mix.
Somebody is in a lot of trouble. If your going to drink stay home !
Talk about a wake up call
👍
people are goofy. Hope nobody got hurt.
(That is the frame I need to fix my 2005....)
Yeah the house got the worst out of the wreck and the drunk driver needs help .
Look like there was enough glass for a sliding glass door - is that what they drove it through? I didn't hear no whistling on this call neither - when you're whistling, l try to figure out how that would sound through a harmonica 🙂
The audio on that camera sounds very shrill and tinny. It appears to have no base response. Cheers from eastern TN
Drunk, or weed + fell asleep?
I like the recovery videos too
So somebody decided to throw their life away.
Makes you wonder.
Driving smashed is likely how it's going to end.
I can't even lie I'm commenting off of what you say and what I hear
So you're saying it was a drunk driver I take it he hehe "Gonna get drunk smellin this" Poor homeowner have to deal with that on the holiday because someone wanted to be a jackwagon. I hope they had or could get a 4x4 to stuff under that corner so it doesn't come down later. I would have dumped all that glass right in the bed of the truck for the truck owner to deal with although likely they wouldn't have had to, you probably would if they had no insurance.
Johnathan you do amazing work
Crystal lake isn't that where Jason from Friday the 13th was from !!!
I used to be surprised by stuff I saw, but it takes a lot to shock me now.I bet you've seen about every kind of smashed up cars in your years of the work. Tell us about the craziest one you have dealt with. Car up a tree or whatever.
Don't you just hate it when those darn houses jump in front of you when you are driving down the road at a reasonable speed?
How did you get stuck with taking holiday calls?
I'm 24/7 365 days a year.
Too much holiday cheer
Person was looking for the drive through
And another one
