Please, before you ask.....Yes, in Missouri, towing and recovery vehicles are considered Emergency Vehicles and can run red/blue lights and sirens when requested to "EXPEDITE" by an authorized agency. Also, we aren't given the reason why we are requested to EXPEDITE. When we are requested to do so, we do so without question. The dispatching agencies have their reasoning. I know it is strange to a lot of people, but it is legal in Missouri. Anyone that is interested in the particulars of the Missouri law, I have a link to a video where I explain this in depth that you are welcome to view. Thanks and God bless. th-cam.com/video/a10si2tvX10/w-d-xo.html
i was just about to ask if this was in Missouri because in Illinois they are classified the same. because of St Louis Missouri and Illinois both work together.
In Wisconsin, Tow Trucks are considered emergency vehicles and it is state law to give them room when they have their lights on but that is mainly on the Interstate. Move over or slow down for stopped emergency vehicles.Nice camera views on both angles.
Durango Dave I am not an RR person the first time he did that I wonder what he was doing. The second time it dawned on me what that was. This man is a real prow at his job.
I don’t know how many times here in Ohio I’ve seen the aftermath of wrecks on the interstate where I see the entire u-shaped bumper fascia laying in the center emergency lane next to the barrier. I’ve seen the tires plus many other things beside the road. All just waiting for someone to hit them and cause a secondary accident. It is so gratifying to see you take the time to leave as little evidence of crashes as possible. Even though water damaged at least the owners will know and not wonder what happened to it sometime down the line. You never know what articles have a special sentimental attachment to them. I don’t think they stop and consider how much risk they’re causing to subsequent drivers in this state. Thanks for keeping people safe as they drive.
I have a relative that worked for Stepps Towing in Seffner Fl, he has told many stories of accidents, respect to all tow drivers and prayers for the work you do and knowing people died in some accidents. Thanks for what you do, and prayers that you say for others. Camera on boom is great, wave next time..lol
From one tow guy to another, you sure are doing a great job of representing the towing industry to the public in a professional way. Thanks for the videos, I’m learning a lot from you Sir.
I'm always impressed how you manage these bad situations with such a considerate and professional head on your shoulders. It's like a lesson in leadership.
I just started watching these video's recently but I have to tell you I am impressed. I'm impressed with how you treat your helpers and how respectful you are to all around. I am impressed with how you always ask for prayer for the injured. God bless you and your business.
Thoughts and prayers go out to all your tow drivers and also prayers for all the victims fast recovery. Stay safe and always watch your 6 on those busy roads.
You nailed it. I couldn't have done it faster this 1150R is a BEAST. I am glad to see how you make so effective use out of it. And yes GOD BLESS everyone who was involved.
Healing prayers for the lady driver.....Helmet and Boom cam worked well together...... Once you placed all of us viewers, on the Boom, looking down at you.Next time give us a wave.. LOL Blessings and be safe.
It never ceases to amaze me the efforts you will go to in order to prevent further damage to an already fouled up vehicle during the recovery process. I know, you have to do that, but it still amazes me.
i respect what you said about people who dont beleive, i personally dont but im not here to fight. im here to thank you for being the way you are and i send my thoughts to the lady who was driving. great job once again
I have just found these and am watching from the UK with amazement the skills involved and the measured calmness which Ron brings to these stressful situations.
Boom cam is a great addition Ron. That was one poor wrecked vehicle... Very nasty damage to steering wheel. I think audio fluctuations are just AGC responding to sound spikes. Pretty good though. Prayers for the lady driver. As we can often say - there but for the grace of God go I.
Each and every time I hear a siren - I always say a prayer! - - I'd say "never apologize for being a Christian person". Be proud of your teachings and stand tall when you express them. I would guess that for a micro second the passengers were asking for Gods help. Enjoy your content & your open expression of faith. Bless you and your crews - be safe!
That’s team work, knowing your equipment & just plain ole good knowledge. Great job.. You guys move fast but safely. Get that road back open. This is a top notch recovery team
I'm actually an aircraft mechanic but I do appreciate a good piece of equipment. But more than that, a man that takes pride in his work. And I will say a prayer for you and your customers.
Mr. Pratt, you have a wonderful way with people. I like how you converse with troopers, law enforcement officers, and plain common folks. You're amazing!
Ron, as a fellow believer I know the power of prayer. it is nice to see someone who cares for the victims in these colissions and not just the money that comes from the tow. i found long ago that by following the Lord that i was a lot more sucessful in my buisiness dealings. a car can be replaced but the occupants can not. I always believed that prayer helped to speed their recovery. God Bless.
Ron Pratt - I love this truckl She can do anything!! I NEVER SEEN TRUCK LIKE THIS! Ive been in Missouri lot times. I still go Branson, Mo! How far are you from Branson? Im from Kansas
Ryan Sharp no one's asking you to talk to anybody,and I thank her remark was addressed to those who want to pray,and us who absolutely believe.. if you don't believe that's your business,,but evidently you're more worried about it then all of us,, because you are constantly on a Christian page somewhere denouncing God,, if you are so convinced God is not real,,then why are you so hell-bent on convincing people who are laughing at you for saying something stupid like that. it's almost as if you know God is real,,and because you have already doomed your own soul to hell you are trying to drag us along with you. you will never make us believe that God Almighty is not real,,,because we absolutely positively,,and without a shadow of a doubt know that God Almighty is very real.. we are not dropping smart stupid comments,,or casting them out in your direction,or trying to drag you away from what you believe in,,which is undoubtedly Lucifer. it is so apparent that you very much believe Satan controls hell,,which is why you are in here doing his work in the first place..we are not coming at you with slurred comments in fact I'm sure none of us care that you have already sold your soul to the devil,, but don't you dare insult my God right in my face.. I don't care about your opinion,,in fact I could care less what some idiots believe,as their souls were lost long ago,and I won't waste my time trying to save them. I came here to see a professional tow truck driver do his job and,, I too love his God I also respect the man his videos,and his worship of God tremendously..tell us again stupid why are you here,, it's apparent that you serve satin,and you might get offended here.I didn't drop in to hear your smart ass childish comments while trying to provoke an argument,,because you are a troll clown that worships the devil. I didn't drop into hear you trash somebody you don't even know,, or their religion their love of God Almighty,,and what they believe in. the man which makes these videos,or the lady which simply asked for prayer for this wreck victim,,so how stupid do you feel now troll. you want to insult her,,and the man who took the time to put these videos out here simply because they love God,,at least they believe in something and someone and they worship God almighty,, so if that offends you stop coming here I would,,but don't smart off to someone just because they worshiped God. I was reading pretty nice replies up until this point,or your goofy ass I should say. why would you ever weigh in on her remark with something so nasty.. how dare you question her faith,and just who you think you are stupid,,what would you do if someone followed you around telling you every minute that there was a god,, and you're doomed to hell after you've been judged of course. if you don't want to pray don't pray,and take that up with God on Judgement Day. what do you care if I'm praying,, and I'm sure the lady that left the comment will pray as well,, and in our hearts and Minds it will not be Into Thin Air either stupid.. it will be to Alpha Omega the beginning and the end..God Almighty the man that owns you.he made you,,and that big mouth that you are denouncing him with..it doesn't even belong to you you're borrowing it.. if you want to be disrespectful with it go ahead,,now you have a nice day oh by the way that's called free will,,God gave you that too...see free will can either get you into heaven,,, or Dooms your dumb ass to fire and brimstone.. I'll leave you with a verse John 3:16 look that up,,or not again it's free will.. God bless you sir and yes God is very much real..ps when I was a kid in peytonsburg Burksville Kentucky a gentleman was on my grandmother's front porch,where he to denounce God,, in fact he was making fun of God.. being a very loyal Seven Day Adventist this infuriated my grandmother,,so straight away she made him leave.he was one of my uncles good friends,and his name was old Odell Hoskins,, now you can Google that. as far as we know his last words was there is no God,,and of course he called him a really bad name I won't repeat.. when he got to the end of the mountain there in Burkesville Kentucky,and right to this day they don't know why,,or how because the weather was beautiful the truck was fine,, and it was the first week of Summer about 70 degrees outside,, but right across from the graveyard,and the family plots name is Spears you can Google that as well,, anyway he went over the bluff there,and there he died... it was a very tragic wreck,,and a hideous scene,,because he was decapitated by a guideline on a telephone pole..his last words were there is no God,,but like I said he's cursed as well. you can look at that anyway you want to,, call me a liar say it didn't happen say it was just a coincidence.. say whatever,but do read John 3:16 good day,,,,oh and Nani Nani boo boo there is a God hahaha Nani nani boo boo..... he does not even the idea of nothing have to come from somewhere someone had to create all of the emptiness think about that all this did just not appear even the idea of nothing except had to come from somewhere the concept of course there is a God and he and Satan have been battling forever Good and Evil read your Bible friend and I'm sorry your lost,and I don't mean to instal I'm trying to save you.
I have been surprisingly intrigued by your channel. Guess you don't think much about towing companies except to say you never hope to need one. Your integrity is a blessing... thank you... and God bless!
First off, I really enjoy your video's, thanks for sharing them with us. I was thinking, A&E should do a series featuring your company and the knowledge and expertise it takes to operate your equipment. Each scene you respond to is different which poses different risks to you, your equipment, first responders and primarily the public. If a reality series about a family in Alaska, where one kid talks like Forrest Gump and another punches fish can do well, a show featuring issues which can't be staged would be a big time hit. Anyway, thank you for what you do, I for one truly appreciate it. Be safe and God Bless!!
Thank you and I would certainly welcome that. Many are unaware of the difficulties of this profession, both in safety and integrity. Thank you for watching and God bless!
Yes and it was a good show but one in the USA would be a good one two and this is coming from a firefighter not everyone know what us first responses go through on a day in and day out and if they do a show like that I think that the public will really realize what we go through
I can't go into detail, but last year I was approached by a production company that creates shows for several networks. Things didn't work out....not anybody's fault, but I have to say I was relieved. At first I was excited about the thought of a TV show, but then I recognized that I would lose control of what I had worked so hard to build. I've also talked with others from various TV shows and in the end I believe this was for the best and that this is what God wants for me. It will be what it will be. I don't need fame. I enjoy helping people.....period. There are a lot of ways that this channel and its viewers have helped people and I hope and pray that this continues. To me, that's more important than having my own TV show. Thanks and God bless.
Hi Ron I’m a recovery truck driver in the United Kingdom (England). I’ve been watching your videos and I think they’re great you really do know your stuff and your trucks look the business too. God bless you, your angel sent to help others. Barry.
i like your managment style and how caring you are. i also like the way you treat everyone like family. your very careful thats cool too! thanks fortaking us on your journeys
Ron You truly got it all together in every way in the way you perform while working & treat & respect everybody around u at anytime & always. U are truly a good hearted man... great job as always god bless u!
A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO RON & HIS HELPERS IN THEIR PROFESSIONALISM IN EVERY JOB THEY TACKLE & GOD BLESS THEM & KEEP THEM SAFE ALWAYS THEY ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF EVERY COMMUNITY THEY WORK IN.
Love watching your videos, you are very professional in your work and appreciate the lack of vulgar or unwanted language. I also might add that I love your wrecker....thanks again for your videos.
I always enjoy watching your videos. You and your crew always make the hardest situations look easy, although I know it takes expert skill, experience and a solid plan. If I'm not mistaken, that was a Dodge Nitro. Those little things can have up to 260 horses, which, for a smaller vehicle, can get away from you if you're not careful, especially on wet roads. I'm a petal to the metal girl, but when it's raining and/or the ground is wet, my motto is no sudden moves. Glad the driver didn't have any life threatening injuries, although I know that must have been scary for her. May God continue to bless you and your crew and keep you all safe.
It's clear that she foolishly wasn't wearing her seatbelt. Only for the grace of God and Chrysler engineering she wasn't killed. That Boomcam was brilliant! Totally cool video Ron.
Sandra Westley it’s a criminal offence in the UK not to wear a seat belt, all our cars have alarms that go off as a person is sat in a seat, you cannot turn it off either, so it would drive you insane they are quite loud, and the are in all passenger seats also, if a driver allows a passenger to travel in his vehicle without a seat belt, his is also breaking the law, and it also affects his insurance.
The first time I watched Ron work on video I knew he must have been a Christian man. It is so refreshing to see and hear someone talk without all the bad language. God Bless you Ron.
It is a pleasure watching as you relate with others and solve each puzzle in a professional AND personal manner. Thanks for sharing Ron and for taking the time. God bless.
Ha! I Iive in a city and the towing company left everything on the street except my bumper with the license plate. You both picked up everything from a ditch on the side of the road. Different mentality I suppose.
You sir are very kind. Good video I subscribed, and I liked. Looking forward to seeing more of your work! Much gratitude and appreciation, travel safe.
Thanks for letting me ride in Your truck. I used to go on road trips with My Dad He passed away in 2003 60 years + career died in the sleeper with engine still running.
I'm impressed both with the speed and completeness of extraction. Completeness includes NOT leaving the trash, broken plastic and twisted metal parts originating from the accident.
A lucky Lady to be alive Saying prayers right now. Great placement of the boom cam and another well put together video Ron as always safe and all came home... God bless you sir and your staff Stay safe and Prayers for you all.....
I just want to say thank you for taking the time to film and upload these. It's a view of an industry ill likely never be apart of but it's fascinating to watch how you set up the truck, in any given situation, so effortlessly. You know exactly where everything is in every compartment. In addition, your professionalism is uncanny and your documentation provides exceptional insight into the "behind the scenes" action.
Nothing but love and respect for you guys and girls who put your life on the line daily to assist others in need!! God bless all of you guys!! YOUR truly a gift to this cruel and strange world.
I like this just as much the second time around. At first I thought I missed this one. My memory is fading away in my old age. Thanks again for the great video.
Thanks for the suggestion. I recently found some industrial "poly" bags that we are going to start using. They have lifting handles on top. That way, in case we get something heavy, we can use the boom to lift it out inside the bag. Thanks again.
hello, I have recently started working with two brothers that own a truck repair shop and I am using this video site for my schooling!. I learn alot watching what you show. we have a roll back and go on police calls in northern wisconsin.thanks for the class.
Wow, thank you for taking the time to watch my channel. I am so glad you are finding them educational and hope you find much success in your business. Stay safe out there tow brother and may God bless and keep you from harm.
@@cody_janssen831 depends, if the "bad equipment" is over-matched by the situation (of course it is also possible that the best equipment might not be sufficient for some instances).
Great video, I feel bad for the poor lady who had to endure that crash. Very lucky she wasn't several injured, I've seen crashes like that end up being fatal. The rotator made quick work of that recovery, didn't even break a sweat with that small SUV.
23:20 Trooper: "That was easy" Ron: "When you have good equipment." What impresses me, Ron, is how well you and your team work together. Just a few instructions between the team, and the work gets done. As soon as the rigging is disconnected, the parts are put away, each in their place. I admire the work of professionals, whatever their field. Good job!
Yeah...thus the windshield. People don't seem to understand that without the seatbelt, you miss that airbag and use your head against the glass to stop. Hope she's OK and thinks about it next time...but knowing human nature, I won't be holding my breath. :-(
Some people don’t seem to realize either that and air bag may not always work. I have a friend to rolled a truck several times and ended with the back end of the truck stuck in a tree and the air bags never deployed because I didn’t have side air bags and the roll over didn’t trigger the forward crash sensors. Luckily him and the passenger were bother wearing their seatbelts and walked out of it.
I'm saying a prayer right now Ron . For the female driver - a speedy recovery. For you and yours I pray you only the best of health and your problem be metal , small and in reach and not under power lines .
I will not trample on sometimes belief of believing in God. I heard a pastor say " I would rather go through life believing in God and find there is no God, than go through life believing there is no God and find out that God is real."
You're a very good man. I like the way you care about all of the details -- even the little things like getting dirt in the car. Thank you for being who you are.

Should almost have that as part of every video Description since people ask it so much :P
Ron Pratt you are awesome
i was just about to ask if this was in Missouri because in Illinois they are classified the same. because of St Louis Missouri and Illinois both work together.
In canada lights r Ember or yellow
In Wisconsin, Tow Trucks are considered emergency vehicles and it is state law to give them room when they have their lights on but that is mainly on the Interstate. Move over or slow down for stopped emergency vehicles.Nice camera views on both angles.
Heavenly Father, keep all us poor souls safe out on the road, and protect those whose job it is to pick up the pieces. Amen
Amen
Amen.
Amen
After watching a bunch of these I'm running around my shop calling "Mike! Mike!" And Mike never comes. I need a Mike.
You have alot of tow videos as well!
LMAO
Yes sir!
GTOger what are you doing over here?!🤣🤣
Yeah, What are you doing here :) ? I came here after watching Three Tows & A Special Guest :) Have a good one.
As a retired railroader I'm quite impressed that you knew three short blasts of the air horn is the signal for backing up!
Durango Dave I am not an RR person the first time he did that I wonder what he was doing. The second time it dawned on me what that was.
This man is a real prow at his job.
All of my bus drivers do this aswell.
Three short blasts means “I am operating astern propulsion” for ships, too.
It is a joy to watch skilled craftsmen at work, no matter the job
Wow I think your the only wrecker company that actually cleanse up the piece left behind
I don’t know how many times here in Ohio I’ve seen the aftermath of wrecks on the interstate where I see the entire u-shaped bumper fascia laying in the center emergency lane next to the barrier.

Stay safe and always watch your 6 on those busy roads.
That's like picking up a baby out of its crib! Gentle and caring. Great job Ron and crew! Be safe because you matter!
We always say a prayer for the drivers and passengers as well as you too. God Bless and thanks for sharing...
This is way better than any dramatic towing show on tv
You nailed it. I couldn't have done it faster this 1150R is a BEAST. I am glad to see how you make so effective use out of it. And yes GOD BLESS everyone who was involved.
"I'm gonna fall over backward into that water whenever this thing comes loose, and I don't like it."
At least you have a plan. :-)
Jason Patterson truly yyy
Ron, should have used Tater to pull that bumper out!
Healing prayers for the lady driver.....Helmet and Boom cam worked well together...... Once you placed all of us viewers, on the Boom, looking down at you.Next time give us a wave.. LOL Blessings and be safe.
Will do. Thanks and God bless.
yep i hope the driver is ok
Great job Ron!! Prayers go out to the driver, for a speedy recovery!! God Bless you and your crew!!!
Good to see the "non-glorious" part of the job you have to do, the cleanup afterwards!
Always enjoy your channel. Thanks
Nice work Ron she did a number on it hoping she will be fine. Retired tow truck driver myself and first responder keep it up guys
Another great recovery. I like your vids on recovery work because there's no drama added. Keep up the good work.
It never ceases to amaze me the efforts you will go to in order to prevent further damage to an already fouled up vehicle during the recovery process. I know, you have to do that, but it still amazes me.

God answers prayers. I will pray for the girl. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks and God bless.
Boom cam is a great addition Ron. That was one poor wrecked vehicle... Very nasty damage to steering wheel.
I think audio fluctuations are just AGC responding to sound spikes. Pretty good though.
Prayers for the lady driver. As we can often say - there but for the grace of God go I.
I've used that saying many times myself. Thanks and God bless.
Unworn Seat Belts cannot be of any assistance to prevent injury. Air Bags are Supplemental Restraint Systems!
Wow l love all ya videos I really enjoy watching them in New Zealand thanks guys
Ya know I feel like if you had a boom camera displaying near your controls it would be nice to be able to tell if your boom is centered.
Yup, superstition is all very well, but when it comes down to it I put my faith in seatbelts.
For those that do believe, though, prayer can't hurt :-)
Each and every time I hear a siren - I always say a prayer! - - I'd say "never apologize for being a Christian person". Be proud of your teachings and stand tall when you express them. I would guess that for a micro second the passengers were asking for Gods help. Enjoy your content & your open expression of faith. Bless you and your crews - be safe!
That’s team work, knowing your equipment & just plain ole good knowledge. Great job.. You guys move fast but safely. Get that road back open. This is a top notch recovery team
Mike got lucky with piece of bumper, almost got his head..!! Great job guys.
I'm actually an aircraft mechanic but I do appreciate a good piece of equipment. But more than that, a man that takes pride in his work. And I will say a prayer for you and your customers.
Thank you so much. God bless.
Found your videos by accident.
Now a subscriber.
Excellent quality videos and professionalism. Howdy from Ohio.
DITTO! Also from Ohio... Go "Bucks"
Mr. Pratt, you have a wonderful way with people. I like how you converse with troopers, law enforcement officers, and plain common folks. You're amazing!
Love the boom cam, can we get more of that in the future? Thanks, and as always good work, sir!
Ron, as a fellow believer I know the power of prayer. it is nice to see someone who cares for the victims in these colissions and not just the money that comes from the tow. i found long ago that by following the Lord that i was a lot more sucessful in my buisiness dealings. a car can be replaced but the occupants can not.

Dude your content is amazing I have not seen any other channel like this and I love your videos keep up the great work
Thank you very much for your commentary and for watching.
Ron Pratt - I love this truckl She can do anything!! I NEVER SEEN TRUCK LIKE THIS! Ive been in Missouri lot times. I still go Branson, Mo! How far are you from Branson? Im from Kansas
I never get tired of watching these videos. That Rotator is an amazing piece of equipment.
even people who are not believers can still keep that young lady in their thoughts , myself , saying a prayer for her .
You are correct. Thanks and God bless.
keith johnson I would have thought a concussion at best.
keith johnson i will keep her in my thoughts, but i will not talk to thin air.
thats good enough for me Ryan

God bless you sir and yes God is very much real..ps when I was a kid in peytonsburg Burksville Kentucky a gentleman was on my grandmother's front porch,where he to denounce God,, in fact he was making fun of God.. being a very loyal Seven Day Adventist this infuriated my grandmother,,so straight away she made him leave.he was one of my uncles good friends,and his name was old Odell Hoskins,, now you can Google that. as far as we know his last words was there is no God,,and of course he called him a really bad name I won't repeat.. when he got to the end of the mountain there in Burkesville Kentucky,and right to this day they don't know why,,or how because the weather was beautiful the truck was fine,, and it was the first week of Summer about 70 degrees outside,, but right across from the graveyard,and the family plots name is Spears you can Google that as well,, anyway he went over the bluff there,and there he died... it was a very tragic wreck,,and a hideous scene,,because he was decapitated by a guideline on a telephone pole..his last words were there is no God,,but like I said he's cursed as well. you can look at that anyway you want to,, call me a liar say it didn't happen say it was just a coincidence.. say whatever,but do read John 3:16 good day,,,,oh and Nani Nani boo boo there is a God hahaha Nani nani boo boo..... he does not even the idea of nothing have to come from somewhere someone had to create all of the emptiness think about that all this did just not appear even the idea of nothing except had to come from somewhere the concept of course there is a God and he and Satan have been battling forever Good and Evil read your Bible friend and I'm sorry your lost,and I don't mean to instal I'm trying to save you.
I have been surprisingly intrigued by your channel. Guess you don't think much about towing companies except to say you never hope to need one. Your integrity is a blessing... thank you... and God bless!
First off, I really enjoy your video's, thanks for sharing them with us. I was thinking, A&E should do a series featuring your company and the knowledge and expertise it takes to operate your equipment. Each scene you respond to is different which poses different risks to you, your equipment, first responders and primarily the public. If a reality series about a family in Alaska, where one kid talks like Forrest Gump and another punches fish can do well, a show featuring issues which can't be staged would be a big time hit. Anyway, thank you for what you do, I for one truly appreciate it. Be safe and God Bless!!
Thank you and I would certainly welcome that. Many are unaware of the difficulties of this profession, both in safety and integrity. Thank you for watching and God bless!
sandiabill1 there is a show called "highway thru hell" which follows a canadian heavy recovery company
Yes and it was a good show but one in the USA would be a good one two and this is coming from a firefighter not everyone know what us first responses go through on a day in and day out and if they do a show like that I think that the public will really realize what we go through
I can't go into detail, but last year I was approached by a production company that creates shows for several networks. Things didn't work out....not anybody's fault, but I have to say I was relieved. At first I was excited about the thought of a TV show, but then I recognized that I would lose control of what I had worked so hard to build. I've also talked with others from various TV shows and in the end I believe this was for the best and that this is what God wants for me. It will be what it will be. I don't need fame. I enjoy helping people.....period. There are a lot of ways that this channel and its viewers have helped people and I hope and pray that this continues. To me, that's more important than having my own TV show. Thanks and God bless.
Hi Ron I’m a recovery truck driver in the United Kingdom (England). I’ve been watching your videos and I think they’re great you really do know your stuff and your trucks look the business too. God bless you, your angel sent to help others.
Barry.
If ya can't dodge it, ram it.
She's got the ramming part down apparently however can use some fine tuning on the dodging
That's what I did with my ram. Couldn't dodge the deer so ram it. Knocked it unconscious and all I got was a bent bumper
@@jameswalsh6810 you & the deer
were lucky.
Or find on road dead (FORD)
@@livingforJesus2120 and backwards (Driver Returns On Foot)
i like your managment style and how caring you are. i also like the way you treat everyone like family. your very careful thats cool too! thanks fortaking us on your journeys
Prayers for her and the family...! God Bless
Good crew, good equipment, and good boss = successful recovery. Nice work Ron!
another job well done Ron
Thanks and God bless.
Ron Pratt in a world fill with such self centered people , it's nice to see a truly genuine man like yourself!
Screw a Lambo.........I'd rather have your tow truck!!!
Is that real carbon fiber around the control panel??
Nolan Chambers is a warning sound to let people know the Boom is rotating
javier rodriguez Hi
Ron You truly got it all together in every way in the way you perform while working & treat & respect everybody around u at anytime & always. U are truly a good hearted man... great job as always god bless u!
Thank you for being willing to voice your faith! God Bless!
I appreciate the kind words of support. I work hard to demonstrate my faith rather than just speak it. Thanks for watching my channel and God bless.
@@RonPratt you sure do Sr. and it shows, you are a true gentleman. God bless.
A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO RON & HIS HELPERS IN THEIR PROFESSIONALISM IN EVERY JOB THEY TACKLE & GOD BLESS THEM & KEEP THEM SAFE ALWAYS THEY ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF EVERY COMMUNITY THEY WORK IN.
Some one was very lucky to survive that. good on you for a job well done. bless you.
Love watching your videos, you are very professional in your work and appreciate the lack of vulgar or unwanted language. I also might add that I love your wrecker....thanks again for your videos.
Amazing how safe modern cars are. Before this would be consider fatal
It's unbelievable how it was possible to place the belts and the first attempt to pick up the car is completely balanced
Prayers for her recovery, good lift, Ron
Thank you for the prayers and for watching. God bless.
I always enjoy watching your videos. You and your crew always make the hardest situations look easy, although I know it takes expert skill, experience and a solid plan.
If I'm not mistaken, that was a Dodge Nitro. Those little things can have up to 260 horses, which, for a smaller vehicle, can get away from you if you're not careful, especially on wet roads.
I'm a petal to the metal girl, but when it's raining and/or the ground is wet, my motto is no sudden moves.
Glad the driver didn't have any life threatening injuries, although I know that must have been scary for her.
May God continue to bless you and your crew and keep you all safe.
Prayer said for the lady....God Bless!!!
That is so amazing!! The advances in technology are incredible! Thank for posting, getting to see an area I use to live in was nice!
It's clear that she foolishly wasn't wearing her seatbelt. Only for the grace of God and Chrysler engineering she wasn't killed. That Boomcam was brilliant! Totally cool video Ron.
Sandra Westley it’s a criminal offence in the UK not to wear a seat belt, all our cars have alarms that go off as a person is sat in a seat, you cannot turn it off either, so it would drive you insane they are quite loud, and the are in all passenger seats also, if a driver allows a passenger to travel in his vehicle without a seat belt, his is also breaking the law, and it also affects his insurance.
God bless you folks for what you do. It has been the most amazing video of auto recovery I have ever seen!! Great work everyone!
Wow, thank you very much. Thanks for watching and I am glad you enjoy the videos. God bless.
Like they say if you can't Dodge'.em Ram''em..
The first time I watched Ron work on video I knew he must have been a Christian man. It is so refreshing to see and hear someone talk without all the bad language. God Bless you Ron.
Your truck is very beautiful congratulations
It is a pleasure watching as you relate with others and solve each puzzle in a professional AND personal manner. Thanks for sharing Ron and for taking the time. God bless.
Thank you very much and God bless.
Nice of you to pick up all the loose debris. When I had my accident, the tow truck company left everything on the road.
It is the professional thing to do. Some police/fire agencies require towing companies to remove the accident debris.
Ha! I Iive in a city and the towing company left everything on the street except my bumper with the license plate. You both picked up everything from a ditch on the side of the road. Different mentality I suppose.
Our team works to not only take care of the scene, but to remove the debris as to prevent further safety hazards for others. God bless!
That looks like poison oak!!
A prayer you request. A prayer you shall have. Thank God the driver is ok.
You sir are very kind. Good video I subscribed, and I liked. Looking forward to seeing more of your work! Much gratitude and appreciation, travel safe.
Ron, please do not speak negative over yourself. Your words are powerful... Speak: You will not fall backward, for He is your Rear Guard!
You make it look so darn easy.
The phone call that just couldn't wait .My thoughts and prayers go out to the driver . I hope she makes a full recovery .
Looks like it had a little too much Ram and not enough Dodge in that one.
Any dodge is too much dodge.
It's tricky to get the ratio just right
Thanks for letting me ride in Your truck. I used to go on road trips with My Dad He passed away in 2003 60 years + career died in the sleeper with engine still running.
Prayers heading her way !
Thanks and God bless.
Ron, your comment about believers and non just raised my respect for you 1,000%.
Boom cam is a welcome addition.
Thank you.
I'm impressed both with the speed and completeness of extraction.
Completeness includes NOT leaving the trash, broken plastic and twisted metal parts originating from the accident.
And the hat goes flying. After seeing the camera I was wondering how many times you've seen yourselves on the local news doing recoveries?
Probably more often than not.
A lucky Lady to be alive Saying prayers right now. Great placement of the boom cam and another well put together video Ron as always safe and all came home... God bless you sir and your staff Stay safe and Prayers for you all.....
like the two cameras.
I just want to say thank you for taking the time to film and upload these. It's a view of an industry ill likely never be apart of but it's fascinating to watch how you set up the truck, in any given situation, so effortlessly. You know exactly where everything is in every compartment. In addition, your professionalism is uncanny and your documentation provides exceptional insight into the "behind the scenes" action.
You can really see it with the helmet cam; you don't even hesitate when you open a compartment it's amazing
28:04 Aye cap'n, slow astern! ;)
Also, looking at the bent steering wheel and the outward bulge in the windscreen, I'm guessing no seatbelt?
That was also my impression.... Lucky not to be fatal....
Nothing but love and respect for you guys and girls who put your life on the line daily to assist others in need!! God bless all of you guys!! YOUR truly a gift to this cruel and strange world.
Looked pretty awesome. Nothing like a million dollar truck to make short work of a job. Did I count 7 or 8 winches on that monster?
It actually has 5 winches. Four on the boom and one drag winch. Hope you enjoy my videos.
Not personally, but I am certainly a fan of his.
I like this just as much the second time around. At first I thought I missed this one. My memory is fading away in my old age. Thanks again for the great video.
Used grain bags are great for small parts clean up. Free from local farmer.
Thanks for the suggestion. I recently found some industrial "poly" bags that we are going to start using. They have lifting handles on top. That way, in case we get something heavy, we can use the boom to lift it out inside the bag. Thanks again.
hello, I have recently started working with two brothers that own a truck repair shop and I am using this video site for my schooling!. I learn alot watching what you show. we have a roll back and go on police calls in northern wisconsin.thanks for the class.
Wow, thank you for taking the time to watch my channel. I am so glad you are finding them educational and hope you find much success in your business. Stay safe out there tow brother and may God bless and keep you from harm.
Sir that's awesome you ask your viewers to pray for others. Subscribing, very few people on here care about others, Lord bless you and yours.
Thank you very much. I do ask for prayers often for others and for myself. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Always happy to pray for someone in need of the almighty healer.
thanks for the videos i will say a prayer for her
Thanks and God bless.
Phil falzone sr be
Ron you rock! Your heart is in the right place and you only seem to care for the wellbeing of yourself and others. We need more Ron's in this world!
"When you've got good equipment."
And know what the hell you're doing.
Jerrell Strawn if you know what your doing you can do it with bad equipment
@@cody_janssen831 depends, if the "bad equipment" is over-matched by the situation (of course it is also possible that the best equipment might not be sufficient for some instances).
I too would vote for a series on any network. The world needs to see what people like you do. Keep em coming Ron!!
I like your tow truck
Thank you very much. Thanks for watching my channel and God bless.
Great video, I feel bad for the poor lady who had to endure that crash. Very lucky she wasn't several injured, I've seen crashes like that end up being fatal. The rotator made quick work of that recovery, didn't even break a sweat with that small SUV.
blue dodge nitro'ed it
23:20 Trooper: "That was easy"
Ron: "When you have good equipment."
What impresses me, Ron, is how well you and your team work together. Just a few instructions between the team, and the work gets done. As soon as the rigging is disconnected, the parts are put away, each in their place.
I admire the work of professionals, whatever their field.
Good job!
Thank you very much. Greatly appreciated.
I love my Jesus
Glad to see men take time and care to clean the sight of broken parts.
You can tell that this person did not have the seat belt on by the looks of the windshield and the steering wheel!
Some people seem to rely on airbags, but they're designed to work TOGETHER with seat belts, not instead of. Oh well...
Yeah...thus the windshield. People don't seem to understand that without the seatbelt, you miss that airbag and use your head against the glass to stop. Hope she's OK and thinks about it next time...but knowing human nature, I won't be holding my breath. :-(
Some people don’t seem to realize either that and air bag may not always work. I have a friend to rolled a truck several times and ended with the back end of the truck stuck in a tree and the air bags never deployed because I didn’t have side air bags and the roll over didn’t trigger the forward crash sensors. Luckily him and the passenger were bother wearing their seatbelts and walked out of it.
I'm saying a prayer right now Ron . For the female driver - a speedy recovery.
For you and yours I pray you only the best of health and your problem be metal , small and in reach and not under power lines .
Thank you so much for the prayers. I am also hopeful she has continued a speedy recovery. God bless.
I will not trample on sometimes belief of believing in God. I heard a pastor say " I would rather go through life believing in God and find there is no God, than go through life believing there is no God and find out that God is real."
I agree completely. God bless.
So true, but many people *don't want to believe* that god exists... There being a God wouldn't suit their way of life...
Believing brings responsibilities, but that, in turn, brings relaxation...
You're a very good man. I like the way you care about all of the details -- even the little things like getting dirt in the car. Thank you for being who you are.
