This sums up the day in the Syracuse NY area today and still piling up
Ron Pratt saw this video and instantly went and bought a blue and white guardian angle and it’s on my gear at fire house. Anytime I’m on the road I’ll be using it and also depending on the fire I may bring in pocket in case of emergency light her up can’t hurt to have some extra light to say I’m here in emergency in fire or on side road. Thank you so much.

I bought 3 of them, 2 for the car and one for my power wheelchair. They arrived today and they are nice to have.
Baby it's cold outside,,, it looks really Cold...God Bless you Ron.
The link seems to be broken.
Ron, One thing you can learn from the off road community - when you give instructions on turning the wheel, you say either to turn driver, or turn passenger. Otherwise they don't know if you mean your left or their left. Of course the other half the issue is for those that are dyslexic, it makes more sense.
Wow! You guys are much underappreciated. While we sit in our warm homes you are out rescuing people and their vehicles. My hat is off to you!
And that's why they pay you the big bucks Ron. You are a fix-it-all man. And in all kinds of not-so-great weather yet. I can't even imagine how you do it but you really are a hero.
You are a true hero. I am a long haul trucker. I have had a few situations when I first started, that I wish I had a true expert help me out. Instead I had a guy complain about how he got woken out of bed. Be Safe. God Bless you.
Never gave a thought to your profession till I discovered your video's. Unsung heroes, bless you folks, your in my prayers!
You make a good point here. Because most people need us just once ...... maybe twice .... in their lives ... we really are a forgotten area of expertise. For example : the British Government introduced a scrappage scheme in 2010 that took half a million older cars off the road in eleven months. Our business turnover dropped by 75% in that same period. We went without for six and a half years . Many recovery operators went out of business. NOBODY CARED. The only time we get remembered is when we, and our trucks, are urgently needed at a breakdown or a crash. After 34 years of the job I have a lot of memories .......
I was thinking the exact same thing!
If my wife ever got into trouble on the road i would hope someone like you would be around to keep her safe. Top man
You work excellent with talon .God Bless thank you for sharing stay safe 🇺🇸🇺🇸😎
RON WATCHING YOU AND YOUR CREW WORKING TOGETHER IN ALL THE SNOW AND ICY CONDITIONS, MAKES ME THINK OF THE WEATHER UP IN BALTIMORE MARYLAND I'D LIVED UP THERE FOR OVER 50 YEARS AND RETRIED AND SOLD MY HOME AND MOVED DOWN HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA AND EXPERIENCES THE VERY MILD WEATHER 60 AND 70 DEGREES TEMPERATURES THANKING THE LORD
We’ve been having our fair share of the storms here in Eastern Washington. Your videos have given me a new appreciation for all the work that towing and recovery workers put in. Today I passed a semi that ran off the road last night and workers were emptying it and hooking up to it. I found myself getting so mad at the people that couldn’t bother to slow down a little and give them some space. Thank you guys and all the other first responders for everything you do!! God bless!!
Tyler Wurl , yes I believe it’s been some 70 years that your area, has had anything REMOTE, I saw a house with a collapsed roofs, but I don’t think roofs there have any designed snow loading built in.
Sorry for how things are going, we got down a week ago to 0.8^F, frozen pipes, then a new steam boiler , by chance., $16,2k house was 50^F inside.Maplewood N.J Cheers.
Sandra Westley I think it’s caused by global warming 😂😂😂 that’s what we keep being told.
Ron I believe you had a little more than just a guardian angel light helping you that day. I would say God was giving you a lot of help.
Ron, I lived 6 years in Wichita, Kansas -- that was back in the mid-50's to 1963! When we moved from there, it was 15 below (actual temperature-no windchill figured in) and there was 2.5 feet of snow on the ground. We've seen some icy weather since then, but we moved to North Central Florida in 1967! It's a far sight warmer here in the winter!
Great channel. Safety reminder for all you truck drivers, please be careful in the windy conditions with the trailer doors. A truck driving friend of my dad opened a door all the way around to the side and whilst leaning into the trailer the wind blew the door around and it hit him across the lower back and paralysed him. Seeing Ron fighting with the door reminded me. Take care, be safe. From the UK
Not the easiest job in the world for sure. You all did a great job in that dangerous environment. Bless you all.
Nobody knows how much mental and physical work is involved to get your job done safely God is with you Ron God Bless. Mario from California
That truck is special. I just love seeing it work in rain, snow and ice. It's pretty incredible all the things that truck can do. I hope you live where they have a 4th of July parade each year so you can show it off to everybody.
Heart goes out to you and Talon and all the guys out there answering distress calls from people need on that very bad night.
Hats off to you and Talon for your hard work!!the content is great and everybody watching should appreciate what you do!!
Don't forget Raymond. :)
Amen to that these guys are a blessing they are the true hero’s in this world the danger they put themselves in to get us out of sticky situations and keep us safe they deserve more credit then we actually give them hope you guys stay safe out there mid west is the best
I like watching your videos, and the hard work you all do. Keep them coming Ron. And your crew is out standing as well.
Its not an easy job plenty of thinking all the time can not afford to take your mind off the job. Very well done to all your team
Cool
Hi Ron.I can feel your pain.I worked as a heavy equipment mechanic for many years in the Forest industry.Spent many hrs in the -30 to -40 degree weather fixing logging equipment.You make me shiver watching you work in the wet cold weather.Stay safe and warm.God be with you.🙏🏻
It is amazing how "weather" affects normal operations. Glad you are available when "weather" disrupts things.
Why the quotes around weather
Ron
God bless you for you & all your family
Truckers,,those in need ,,
Sheriffs,troopers,firemen , ,police ,military &friends
Ron, you remind me of my uncle who started his own towing company many years back. Your persona and the way you are verbal with everyone and co-workers. You are doing a fine job. You are an outstanding person and treat everyone with respect. My hat is off to you coming all the way from California.
This is true hard work. I hope you get paid accordingly. Thanks for all the help you give...no money pays for that.
God Bless you and Mr. Talon for the sacrifices you make.
This is a great learning video for those who say the tow bills are WAY to much.... I've tried to explain to people until I'm blue in the face to get them to understand the work that goes into it.
Them young bucks love knowledge brother. We ain't gettin older just passin it on.
Have A Blessed Day
God bless you Ron you have the Lord and all his Angels giving you the power to do what you do. At age 54 I don't think I could do what you do. But than again let me not underestimate the power of the lord. Love your videos man.
I enjoy watching your program. You have proved to me that you are extremely polite and care about the drivers/ families of accidents. You are very professional and curious.
WOW!! That was an incredible day in the life of a heavy unit recovery operator and Thank you for your service.
This channel , highway thru hell , and heavy rescue 401 and I’m all set
i was waiting for Ron to jump in that truck and show him how it is done ha ha ha another great vid
I am so thankful i don't gotta deal with that snow n ice too much at all anymore. May the good lord keep all of you safe...
You guys certainly earned your money that day. Glad you and everyone else got through it safely.
Ron, you are a gentleman escorting the driver safely great video as always
And this is why I take the winters off. Sitting here in Thailand at the wife's family home. Nice and warm.
Mr. Ron, give you and your crew all the credit in the world..
I've watched many of his recoveries and his professionalism shines on every one! He has the ability to size up every situation at a glance. And through it all. he remains cool, unrattled and always a gentleman. Well done Ron!
PS... I love how the boxes are so organized, saving time and frustration! Great equipment!
Nice to see you carry your own toboggan for jobs when you are laying down on the job.. makes life much easier on the back. You and Talon do a great job working together a great team.
Saying a little prayer for all that has to battle the weather to make others feel safe.. thank you Ron for all you and the crew does on the job..
Excellent recovery, Ron and Talon. I really enjoy watching you and your crew recover vehicles, no matter what size they are. You are very professional at what you do. God Bless You and Your Family. 👍👍👍👍
Cool
Mr Ron that was a tough night from the looks of it. But as tired and wore out as I bet you were you still did the gentlemanly thing and got the door for the lady driver and then you made sure she got to the other truck safely! Sir you are definitely a role model that everyman should aspire to be more like, including myself. God Bless and be safe🙂
Ron a great video showing how realy dangerouse your work is ,And GREAT to see the old tream of you and Talon working together , you always seam more relaxed even under such pressure with him working with you .
Something tells me this was a loooooooooong day.
Long and very cold from the looks of it.
Long hopefully means profitable, so they can have a nicer vacation whenever they can squeeze it in.
@@kd5nrh weathers like this makes a lot of money for the towing business
Weather like this is extremely exhausting too!
"Poor Raymond."
Man you guys are truly God sent great job and I know those truckers are more than happy that you were able to come through for them once again great work I have much respect for you and your partner God bless and please stay safe
Thanks 👍I appreciate the positive comment. Thank you for watching and God bless.
God bless all you boys and all those people you help,stay safe, I'll send you my angels to you,and those in need
Ron I am amazed at how little snow and ice it takes to get the big trucks in a bind. They go great on dry roads but some mud and snow and they call you. Good job.
Amazing coverage under extreme weather conditions. Hats off to the Midwest Family for all their dedication and work.
Sitting here watching these two videos is making me dread the upcoming Missouri Winter more than ever.
Ron and Talon I have a whole new respect for your profession. Now I know why I build custom fishing rods and develope fishing tackle. I spent 20 yrs in Law Enforcement in that cold and wet crap here in MN and IL. I no longer do it due to medical reasons and spend my days indoors. I would give anything to be back in the thick of it again.
Again you have much respect from me doing you profession!! God Bless and always stay safe!!!
Thank you so much for your support of our profession and this channel. We appreciate you. Thank you for watching and God bless
Ron I have to say YOU ARE THE BEST TOW TRUCK DRIVER i HAVE WATCHED OR SEEN ON THE HWY THANK GOD I never needed a tow WHEW I drove the cost to cost for 35 years, but keep the videos coming
Sand and stone dust are your best friends for winter driving
people don't realize what us snow bounders have to go through..its a tough job..big props buddy..stay safe and warm
I'm 70 yrs old in one month's time.... I've never seen snow in my life other than in a fridge..... I count my blessings every time I see something like this.... Give me the deserts at upwards of 105+ degrees and I'd be happier there, than here. Feb 18 2021.
Edit: I've just had the video on hold for quite a time and come back now to see its conclusion...... You're all very Fine Men.... God Bless you all.
Wow! God bless you! Thank you for sharing your videos! Great team work. We are praying for you all for safety!!
Ron your mechanic abilities really come in handy for towing situations. Awesome!!!
Love your care and concern for people. Your faith shows.
The Lord be with you Ron. Amen!!! No wonder you got sick. God Bless you and your crew that have to work on nights like your videoing tonight
Thank You U just reminded me why I retired at 55 Too damm old to be crawling around under trucks and trailers in snow - temperatures and rain I had had enough lmao
I am astonished that with all the difficulties you face in cold weather, not a single curseword comes out of your mouth, I would have been cussing and screaming at every little difficulty in that kind of weather 🤣🤣🤣
Me Too!!! LOL
Keeping true to his faith even through trials and tribulations. Silent testimony through actions is the strongest and best kind. He doesn't often overtly preach, because this kind of example is much more powerful.
No matter How Difficult the situation, cursing never Solves the Problem. I'm a US Navy Submarine Service Veteran, I can "Cuss Up a Storm"; but it doesn't really help. Keeping a "Calm Head" and Thinking Through the Situation is what is best.
Yaaaa....gotta agree some choice words would have left my mouth but also agree keeping calm keeps the mind focused on the task and fixing problems
Ron is very respectful and religious
Mr.Pratt, you sir have taught me a lot and i appreciate all the work you've done for your channel. I'd like to learn more on caging those air chambers and supplying air to those brakes if the disabled tractor cannot. Again thank you very much for all you've done and hope to be half of the man you are.
Another job well done, keep up the good work and may God keep you all safe.
Gotta love Talon. He’s a damn great hand
That video reminds me of all the snowy nights I spent pulling people out of ditches and creeks around central Indiana. Remain safe Ron, my prayers are with you and all our brothers in the tow business.
How this brings back memories. I didn't drive the heavy but I did drive the 1 ton and flat deck trucks. Great job Ron.
This job has to be both rewarding and sad at the same time... in your business you depend on (indirectly) people being bad drivers or having accidents. I truly respect your line of work! putting your lives on the line every call you take!
great job again guys ,you all take care out there ,and our thoughts go with any unfortunates that get stuck in the cold.
Great CHEER LEADERS THERE...Great job...long night it seems....GOD Bless you all.
You guys are unsung heroes, you have a brutal job to do besides dealing with incompetent drivers. As a retired PROFESSIONAL driver I believe those automatic trucks should be outlawed because they're dangerous for so many reasons. Stay safe out there y'all!
I have been living in the Houston area for the last 24 years, however I grew up on the shore of Lake Ontario in NY. I thought I still missed seeing snow. Your video reminded me that I don’t have to shovel humidity! :-). Thank you for your hard work and great videos. God bless!
Knights of the Road for keeping the Young Lady safe and warm, and getting both trucks out of trouble, this really was an interesting video, simply because many years ago, I was once in a situation where I broke down in bad winter weather like this, my Broms Brake Valve had frozen open, you'll know what happened, and what I went through, and why I was so angry as to why it should never have happened, the bad thing about that night, the recovery driver had me standing in a blizzard holding his torch while he worked, and all I had was a light cotton jacket, I was so cold, your video had all the memories flooding back, and I was shivering as I watched, needless to say, when I got back to the Depot, me and the depot mechanic never spoke for some time
I would of dropped that Torch. I was taught by my father who had been a trucker for close to 50 years back when there was no such thing as a sleeper in a truck and you was lucky if it had 140hp His first truck was a Old White with a chain drive that is when he started. Anyways my truck was always packed with winter gear even if it was the summer and i kept MRE's in there enough to last a week. I had one winter i was stuck on top of a mountain pass due to them closing the roads down it was that bad was stuck there 3 days. For two nights a lady and her son stayed in my truck to stay warm and i shared my food the hotel near us was charging $300 a night and they had people sharing rooms this lady could not afford it. She was going around asking for some loose change what not for gas so they could keep the car warm . I told her her and he son was welcome to stay in the truck with me i had bunks Bottom one could sleep both of them just fine and i would take the top or if she didn't like that i sleep in my chair. Her son was happy as a camper with the Video game system and tv in the truck plus all the videos to this day i still get christmas cards from them and last year i was invited to his Graduation from high school. Moral to the story Be like a boy scout be prepared
It was much funner to watch this vid in the summertime than back last winter!!!
A tow truck driver friend of mine once said "you know, there is one thing that you never have enough of, storage boxes"
Imagine if life was like the world of Harry Potter, with limitless storage boxes.
Nice to see Part 2. Oh, the exuberance of youth. Great employee for you. Tough working in the snow & wind. There's a lot more to your job than just hooking up & towing a truck. Thanks for posting, from Texas-R&B
Boy I was cold just watching you guys working out there and crawling around in the snow.
Talon cracked me up with that face when you said you wanted to single it out, he was like Whaaa?? lol He's a great guy just like Ron. :)
O am glad you were able to help those in need and stayed safe 🙏 ❤
That is one serious tow truck you have and your knowledge and skills are impressive to say the least.
sitting in my warm heated room watching this makes me feel COLD!
same here Chris
Thanks for posting, just another fun evening living the dream playing in the snow... Y'all got'er done.
That action trying to put that trailer in the slot sure would have got my last nerve. Guess it's tough when youre used to snow and can do it and you're standing there watching somebody that apparently has problems with it.
😌🇺🇸
same here too
takes me back to my many snowy nights doing the same and yes it made me cold just watching.
Sitting here in the middle of summer with the a/c on because it is so hot it's like seeing another planet.
Ron thank you for sharing with us great content as always and thumbs up as always GOD bless everyone
Ron, it's a sad day that I write this. I did catch your Facebook post of the accident with the car in the lake today. I know something like that must really be hard on anyone. My condolences to the driver of that car and best wishes for you and your crew. May God bless you all in all your endeavors. And may you or your crew ever experience the likes of that accident again.
God bless you sir, and your crew.
It was a difficult situation, but one that I have learned to deal with as part of the job. I won't say that it doesn't bother me, because it does. One has to put on their professional face and get the job done with dignity and respect. Thanks and God bless.
I myself work in oil field safety. It's especially tough when you have to go out and secure a drilling rig or other locations that's had accidents or even fires. It takes a lot out of a person. I've been fortunate however that I was not the one called out for such situations. I don't think I would have the strength for it. And I applaud you for having that strength. I'm just a fire extinguisher guy but I can do safety if I need to.
Again. God bless you sir.
@@LoneWolf1965 Did you hear about one of the "Duck" boat/trucks that went down over in Branson, MO, several months ago?? At least one of the Highway Patrol dive team members who was here today worked that incident. My hat's off to those guys. Today they were working in zero visibility, 34 degree water with strong current due to the Mississippi River being flooded right now. A LOT of people came together last night and today to handle this situation.
No I haven't heard about that one. I only knew about this incident thru your Facebook. And I don't live in the area. I live out here in midland, Texas. Way out west. So unless I'm on the Internet I don't hear much of what goes on. But that's an incident I wouldn't care for. That's for sure. God bless our first responders and military.
@@LoneWolf1965 Here is one of the news stories about the incident: abcnews.go.com/GMA/News/video/13-dead-missouri-duck-boat-accident-56707127
That kind of cold will blow the wind right out of your sails. Any time, any where. Period! It's two years later and Nine Below Zero in the land of the BluesHand! Best of the Future to you Ron! One Love!
Damg! I sure hope your Dad pays you well Ron. you had one heck of a job there!!
Thanks, Ron and Talon after this you will need a break, 😎 🌞 your a Guarding Angel 🙏 Stay Safe # 9 backing up trailer
Another nice job by you guys glad everyone was safe I think you should carry that small propane torch to heat up those bolts in extreme colds temps. I didn't realize the driver was a lady till you her mane.
Great video... a little tip for you when dealing with vehicles stuck in the ice covered snow (if anyone hasn't commented yet), keep a bag or two of speedy dry or kitty litter on board.....a few handfuls thrown behind the wheels would have helped that drive trying to back into that spot....
Awful hard long day brother. My hearts out to you and your team. Thanks for sharing!!!
Wow, what a mess!
Professional work, as always.
Watch your 6.
In one point of the video you could hear Talon dispatching over the phone with a customer on the ride to the parking lot for the second truck they assisted.
Hi Ron, It looks so miserable out there. You have a good attitude. Keep up your spirits. Enjoy learning from you. God bless.
Ron a good job done by you Talon and Raymond to get both trucks cleared from the seen I bet after that night you and the whole Midwest crew was tired and cold just glad everyone on your team was safe after a cold night like that stay safe out there and I like the suggestion about putting the Guardian Angel on the tip of the boom that way it can be seen
great video ron. shows people just how difficult what you guys do is
be safe
Even under pressure like I'm sure you were facing - how many calls did y'all have that night? - you were still thinking of others.
Praying for all of y'all daily for protection!
I loved the commentary at the 36-minute mark, that was some great cheerleading from Talon. Love your channel, and how you let Talon help, and are a true leader, and not just a boss. My hat is off to you, sir.
All true but a good leader can always get more work done with the same people,than a boss.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP AND YOUR WORK !! GOD BE WITH YOU AND BLESS YOU!!
I got cold just watching! Great job guys, hope the night wasn't too long.
Least when you guys have a big storm down there we get lots of content to watch!! Cheers from Ontario Canada 🍻
Amazing that all of that snow can be on the Rotator outside control panel and the panel still works.
Love your videos!
Good golly. That wind had to be ferocious to work in!!! Thank goodness no one was injured in any of these slide-offs. Thanks for sharing and keep warm. :)
Ron, when you said coming down and dropped that blue line I thought you were going down with it. Careful out there. I need my Ron Pratt fix to keep coming man.
I'm close to K.C. and I know our weather has been wild. More moving in this weekend. Be safe.🙏🏻
Kudos Ron to You and Your crew, Prayers are Always with you from me so you can go out and do what you all do and to make it back home again. God has you in his hands.
Ron from the Looks owen the Driver's face your a blessing, during all the snow and Icy conditions
