I couldn't stop LMAO I know it's not funny...But

That's too funny, I don't care who you are LOL.

Can you imagine the way the first driver was feeling, and folks were probably talking about him...until the end LMAO

They do, but not sticking out the side to prevent that. All the pulling that wreckers do is straight from the back, and all they have are stabilizers that hold the front end on the ground.

Most medium and big towtrucks will have outriggers IF the truck has a rotating boom setup. Some big rig towtrucks have 4 outriggers (2 front &
2 behind the cab) but not all.
