This propane truck attempted to get to a state ran radio communications site to fill their generator tank WAY too late in the season and slid off the road in the snow. The propane company called asking if I could go up and help pull it back onto the road, but didn’t have all the information I would have liked to have, so I went up to see if I could get it out. When I got there and realized how bad the situation was, I knew there was nothing I could do for the propane truck, but I was able to get the ODOT truck that was stranded on the other side out. With as long as it had been up there, and as bad as the road was, my suggestion was to leave it there until spring, but the propane company really wanted it out.
Make sure to watch part two here!
Well that didn’t work!

Glad you were able to get the ODOT truck free. That was a 4P situation.
Most tow trucks offer battery boosting .
Was a pretty nifty recovery all in all, I wonder if they’ll call you to come get the other truck once there’s less snow, if they were cool, they would
Looks like a Chinook helicopter or a heavy-lift Sikorsky Sky Crane needs to be utilized. AIRBOURNE!!
The propane company should have been more honest with you about the situation , that could have got really bad really quick
Wow, that was some precision winching. I think you might be good at this!
Epic! Thanks for sharing!
Much respect for your skills Casey!
Sounds like the communication capabilities at my place of work.
Casey, consider getting a spare 12,000 lbs winch and put it on a Reese hitch mount. You can take it and a spare battery in the track jeep on a job like this. Strap it to a tree and it's like having a 2nd vehicle. Not a ton of run time on an independent battery bit it will give you 50' or so with full power no problem.
Ordeal !!! .
And you wonder how people get anything done
no offense to you or us that watch, but i hate people! many lie few tell the truth.
It appeard to me that that truck could have just driven around that propane truck. Seemed to have plenty of traction.
You got plenty of propane right there, so just drag out the weed burner and start melting a path. :p
Being that I am born and raised in Maine, hauled logs with tractor tailers I am used to unplowed hauls. Aslo spent 6 yrs in North Dakota hauling Crude and the same thing unplowed roads. Now I would think that the DOT and Propane company would use their heads to bulk for the winter months sono deliveries would be necessary. But what do I know "I'm just a truck driver". Great job keep up the great work Casey
You say "I never said I was good at this", but this proves YOUR EXCELLENT at it! Way to know your limits.
Knowing your limits is also a part of being professional. Well done 👍
Commercial requests should pay you! If they don't I would never patronize them. They are for profit so please tell you didn't do this for free.
Great job! You used your common sense and that speaks a lot
I am horrified to see some of the commenters believe you should have attempted to recover the propane truck. There is no way anyone should attempt to tow a vehicle that so grossly out weighs them on that steep of a slope and in those road conditions. It would have been foolish and reckless, if not insane. No amount of money could have made it worth the risk. Good job Casey & great judgement call. Shame on the propane company for their lies & incompetence.
Watched both of these videos
Serious mistakes were made?
The weather was far too extreme to continue?
What happens to the tow company and now that they rolled a propane truck?
After all the misleading information from the propane truck company I'm surprised you didn't insist on payment in advance for your efforts
Can't believe the propane truck idiots didn't bring some batteries with him
Well done Casey!
Gonna have to watch both! I'm thinking a D9 winch cat and push down to bare gravel 🙂
You would have thought ODOT would have sent a plow truck to lead the propane truck in or get an extra tank or two up there so they won't have to go in during winter. Nice job, by the way!!!
so the ODOT truck has a winch…..did he not know how to use it, or was it broke?
It is so cool how you can engineer ways to make what you have work. Another great job.
Holy crap Casey they got themselves in a pickle here. After making several bad decisions and leaving the light on you now had a massive slug to get the ODOT truck around. Your creative rigging and keeping people save is topnotch. Seriously mad respect Casey! On to part 2!
It looks like that ODOT truck could have gotten out without help.
There are people you are BRUTALLY honest with. Your Dr., your lawyer. (It’s unlikely they have not heard worse) but also people coming to rescue you. It wouldn’t have changed much. But Casey might have removed, hauled batteries down. If dead for a week. Likely frozen, ruined. But if hauled to shop. They could be thawed, attempted to charge. (You would know if just worth core return). So new, charged batteries sent on recovery. If this was Mid Feb. leaving it 4 more weeks? Might totally change situation.
Great recovery Casey. 40 years ago my husband and I lived in John Day. I always dreaded the road through the Ochoco’s in the winter. Slid off the road a bit one night headed back from Bend. Put on chains and made it out but somehow lost one chain. My friend and I pulled into Mitchell and used a pay phone to let our families know we would be late.
OK NOW I HAVE WATCHED ALL 3 OF THE PROPANE TRUCK RESCUE! NICELY DONE BY ALL INVOLVED!
So, from my understanding, if you can find it, there's some free propane up in the woods LOLZ
I am not gonna be mean, bcs people like that give you great content, which results in good videos for us. But the stuff some of these people do is actually ridiculous.
I take it this is the recovery you could not talk about a month or 2 ago.
Great job Casey.😊
Wow talk about Miss-information 🤔😳
Yes, you manage this!
Hwt Ford is a 30k lb truck?
Why not set up a 4w.d. truck for on / off road snow plowing re : deep woods recovery ? Trailer or wheel lift / dolly it there ? It appears Casey's l.r. outside tire has a severe separation .
I can't help feeling that he wanted to call them a bunch of dicks for making such stupid decisions. Casey, you have the patience of a Saint.
Seems to be some poor planning by somebody.. waiting till middle of winter to get a mountain top propane tank filled.
You are so good!
