- Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!! I hope my viewers are enjoying the new 4K videos!!! Today's video is Part 2 of 2. Here's a link to Part 1 in case you missed it: • TAIL SPIN TURMOIL... ... This is a complex and dangerous job on the interstate. A truck pulling a bumper-hitch trailer loaded with a passenger car and a work truck spun around, and caused utter chaos. The towing unit wedged under the guardrail headed the wrong way on the interstate. The trailer is hanging over the guardrail. While the two vehicles that were on the trailer broke free and rolled down a steep embankment. It doesn't help matters that we are on a dangerous stretch of the interstate and people aren't paying attention to their driving. We have several close calls on our side and actually witness a crash on the opposite side of the interstate. I bring out our Peterbilt 389-X with a Miller Industries, Century 1150R rotator towing and recovery unit. Ethan brings out unit #10 our Peterbilt 337 with a Century 4024, 20 ton towing and recovery unit. Gavon brings in our traffic control unit. And Dalton bring our Peterbilt 337 with a LCG 12 rollback, tilt-tray, flat deck....whatever you choose to call it. Don't worry, there is plenty of action in BOTH videos as well as quite a few tense moments. Thankfully, we all manage to make it safely back to the shop. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

My common analogy, "there are many ways to reach 10". I could have approached this (any) job several different ways. The approach method is important, but more important is achieving the desired result, safely.
Again, a very special thank you to all my viewers, family, and friends who having taken the time to show their support. May God bless and protect you all!!!

To the naysayers questioning Ethan and Gavin’s abilities, cut them some slack they’re still learning. This job is mentally demanding and a huge responsibility because doing something wrong could have disastrous results. I don’t blame them for wanting to check with Ron. I also understands Ron’s shortness when talking to his guys, he knows the urgency of getting the job done and getting the road cleared because every minute they sit there puts their lives at risk. They can take all the precautions in the world but that doesn’t fix stupid distracted drivers.
Ron shows a great deal of patience with them though…
Well stated Alex...! Lets see the naysayers get out in the field and experience what these guys do and I'm sure their tune will change... ! Ron and his crew are the best...! AND the SAFEST...!
I totally agree with you. People have to learn somewhere how to do things safely and efficiently. Society is always so critical and people will always see mistakes but never accomplishments of people and never stop to think that Ron is doing his best to train his guys in a safe and effective manner to get home at the end of the day to their family which a few tow operators don't get that blessing.
The stupid distracted driver was seen on last week's video.
@@terrys8978 yes, thst's why it says "previously" on the screen.
I ran a HEMTT Wrecker in the Army, I thought it was the most capable wrecker ever built! But after watching several of your videos, I am more impressed with the capabilities of your rotator! I went to the Army Hotel 8 recovery school, and learned quite a bit. But after doing actual recoveries state side, and in Iraq, I learned there are so many real world factors, and nothing is a “text book” recovery. I’m so impressed with you and the capabilities of your team! Well done, keep the content and live streams coming!!! Let all of your guys know what a wonderful job they are doing. Any job you can complete, and every one goes home safe is a mission well completed. You may have lots of viewers saying it should have been done different, but from what I’ve seen, you have outstanding equipment, and you are doing it right!!!
Thank you for your service and thank you for the kind words. God bless.
@@RonPratt The winch system definitely was put under a ton of stress - you could definitely tell it was working. Has there been any scenes you've worked where the winches could not do the job because the lift required more power than the system was capable of delivering?
Yeah, I learned about "text book" when I gave birth. Baby and I were both fine, but I decided afterwards that it's really only "text book" if they've written up your case in a text book. Things were crazy in that maternity ward. You'd think some of the medical staff had never worked in one before. Honestly, even if you could put everything in a text book, no student would be able to learn it all.
@@JimDandy1082 He was just pulling one winch, single line. His two boom lines are capable of producing 4 times that pull without strain. Plus the two secondaries are capable of similar line pull.
The rig has the ability to winch more then it will hold still for. We've seen him running out of pull with two winches pulling two part lines on the boom lift recovery a while back. He was probably near maximum lifting ability given the reach he was at when getting the tractor off the bridge a couple years ago.
Wonderful job! Good positive instructions
That is real leadership. Running the show and doing real world training at the same time. This is a good example of team work. Great vid, Keep up the outstanding work.
I hope Ethan and Gavin appreciate the on site training they are given. some classwork might also be in order, so that they understand the reason behind the instruction . Good job guys.
I love that you are always teaching the next generation of towing professionals. Thank you for caring. 🙂
It's hard to teach something as critical an operation as this. Anyone who thinks you are micromanaging had no idea of the safety issues. You are trying to get the job done with no one getting hurt and as little further damage to the vehicles as possible.
Kudos to Ron! Not only is he the owner he also is an operator. You don't ask your team to do anything you yourself wouldn't do. This job showed the full body workout. You made just as many trips up and down the ditch as the guys did. You even ran over to the northbound side to assist with the secondary crash. You deserve a rest and air-conditioning back to the shop.
Thank you. I have always told my personnel "I will not ask you to do anything that I haven't done or am not willing to do myself." I do my best to lead by example. You noticing that is greatly appreciated. Thanks for watching and God bless.
@@RonPratt not only that, but you obviously won't let anyone else take a risk when it may be necessary, but you know it will be less risky if you do it. You exhibit great leadership, in my opinion.
A humor break, "Have you got a license to fish?" Excellent job, everyone. Safety, Safety, Safety!!! This has to be one of the more multifaceted jobs that you have posted in a while, at least since the National Forest videos with your dad, Bill.
Fishing license? I didn't even know you could drive a fish!
If you call this Fishing? I came here for Cat Fish and all I got was a Case and a red fishing bobber.
Ron I just wanted to let you know that. I wish I could have had a supervisor with a outlook more like yours. It’s not easy working for someone that hollers more than talks. And never talks to you the way he does the others. Glad I’m retired. Even though it was for health reasons.
From North Dakota
Ron, is a great teacher and has lots of patience with his crew and doesn't ask anything of them he wouldn't do himself. Every job is different and each has its own way of being done. Ron, is a Christian and doesn't get mad or cuss. He's a family man with a very dangerous job. Stay safe and God Bless
As a local to your company, its nice to see the professional and hard work that goes into these jobs. I hope to never have to use your service, but if I do, I know it'll be in good hands. It's also good to see people being taught by their boss instead of be belittled. That's the best way to learn, hands on. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
The spreader bar is sometimes aggravating to set up but is a thing of beauty when properly rigged. In part 1 Ron, you demonstrated your level of commitment toward your fellow first responders by placing yourself in the direct path of oncoming traffic to "have their six" on the secondary crash. The video, even in 4k, couldn't have done justice for the rate of closure you were experiencing while trying to accomplish this. I bet once the adrenaline wore off you got weak kneed just thinking about it. I know you may consider it just part of "living life on the line" but it was a noble and well-done gesture on your part my friend! Murfreesboro TN
I rarely watch a 2 hour video on any subject, but this one was just so interesting that i was glued to it for both episodes. Amazing job by all involved.
That must be exhausting, physically, mentally,supervising every details of everything of everybody ect
Incredible
⁰000⁰⁰
Having watched that video, I believe that Ron, Ethan, and Gavin are all in good shape after that workout.
You get worn out from hard work with heavy lifting with your hands Ron,remember your body is not forever 20 years more 💪💪💪Ron,👍👍👍😉
@@peterhobson3262 I think that they slept well that night.
A perfect way to start my day, coffee and Ron Pratt!!!
100% agree
Again, Ron, your tutelage and patience are remarkable. Those young men are very fortunate to have you as their leader/boss!!
i supervised 50 trac/trail drivers for several years. God Bless you Ron and your calm, cool yet authoritative disposition in training you people. Too many times i would do the job myself instead of explaining. My approach was definitely not the right approach.
I'm self employed and have guys that work for Me Too.
And I do TH-cam videos in the lawn care landscape game and I gotta say Ron you have amazing patience. The stress of being on the side of the road and three guys learning would be enough to make me go crazy😮
I swear you are totally amazing and a good "professor" too :) These young guys should be so appreciative... Great video Ron Pratt
This was a really fascinating one, Ron, and shows how very hard you work in addition to constant attention to safety. You guys are admirable and impressive!
Am very impressed that you are one of the FEW! tow truck owners, operaters that actually properlydo recoveries,,, there are so many that actually cause more damage and destruction with the manner they do things,,,
Like the teamwork and how the boss is generally concerned about his coworkers safety and how he talks to his coworkers each tow and rescue is a learning experience
Communication is key
The day was a heck of a job for y'all to do stay safe stay healthy don't get too hot out there when y'all are working
Ron you act like you've done this a time or two lol. Great job as always sir.
Ron I haven't watched in awhile but I don't remember your truck being so cluttered. Must be really swamped. God bless you for what you do and watch your six. People pay no attention.
So much going on, so many things to think about and watch for - there's no substitute for experience but the youngsters are getting it all, nicely done Ron.
I operatorted a 20 ton in Grand Rapids, MI for just over 2 years. I in indeed hard work! Stay safe, God bless, and thank you!
If there is anyone watching your videos that doesn't understand why you are breathing hard, they don't understand what they are watching anyway. All anyone needs to do is watch one video to understand how hard the work is. God bless you and your team. Stay safe out there.
Plus it is all made more strenuous by the realization that every second they are out there adds another second of risk, so time is of the essence. Expedite.
The "Nobody Gets Hurt" on the side of the flipped work truck made me laugh. It appeared as you guys were talking about the women that got injured in the second crash. Probably shouldn't of laughed but the timing was perfect.
Nice driving with the flatbed wrecker! That was precision work!
The sign on the service truck is right nobody gets hurt. Good thing to remember. Have a safe day.
Your patience 😉 is remarkable!
I'd have been screaming 😱,
"Listen to ME!". They're willing!
That counts for a lot. It's amazing what you accomplished. Pretty cool!
Beautiful, Professional job Ron. I really appreciated how you were teaching Safety every step of the way to his 2 young employees. They understood much of what Ron was teaching. God Bless. Stay Safe!
Hi Ron, very impressed , as always, with your “just get on with it “ work ethic Not only did you have to devise a plan to sort out the mess, you also had to deal with the logistics of back up support, tutor your guys, whilst the passing traffic did their best to mow you all down. I have watched many many of your vids and always try to guess how you are going to sort it. The spreader bars were a surprise, but, they did the job beautifully. That service truck looked real heavy as well. I imagine you slept well that night!! Best Wishes Roy W UK
About that passing traffic...Maybe the police could do a better job in reducing the speed through the recovery site..
At the very end Ron when you honked the horn and the officer gave you the flash lights back made it all worth it in the end. ❤
Amazing! You are great!!
What a job Ron
God bless you.
Man Ron u sure know what your doing good and being a good teacher be safe and careful all of u guys
These young men are so lucky to have a good patient teacher. I owe so much to the people that trained me on jobs😊😊😊
Wow… I watch a lot of these videos from many people, have been for a while. I don’t think I have ever felt the need to leave a comment either, except on this video.
No video has ever kept me on the edge of my seat like these 2 did. At times I seriously felt like I was right there with you and doing the recovery with you. I also felt like I learned A LOT from this video. MANY props to you guys out there doing this for a living, I know I could never.
I really enjoy watching your videos. Your patience in teaching the young guys is so nice to see.
I’m always amazed at how you accomplish the crazy jobs you do.
Great job guys. Your blocks need straps nailed or screwed towards the ends to create handles so you can pull them out of your boxes easier
A very intense recovery, so thankful no one was injured in this. Also thankful that you didn't have to accomplish this in rainy or snowy weather. You have a great team of young people and they are learning from the best.
Your attention to safety is commendable. Your patience with inexperienced helpers is amazing.
God bless for all you do👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💕🙏🙏🙏🇬🇧
@39:20 - "Talk about an almost PRATT fall..." Ron, you are a comedic GENIUS!!!
Oh my stars when Gaven tossed that tire and it rolled I laughed my butt off 😂😂
I so enjoy the "outdoor classroom" that you have going on... I've learned so much along with your young men on the job... great job to you all!
WOW!! What an exciting episode!! These are the kind I like...long and full of action. Prayers for the woman who got the head injury in the other crash. Great work by Ron, Ethan, Gavin and Dalton. Why don't we ever see Mike anymore? How's that grandbaby doing? He must be getting big. Stay safe out there guys.
They said in recent livestream that Mike is now running rollback jobs independently so might see him only occasionally now.
agreed Marcia with ya. Mike has advanced and is working for Ron on other towing jobs he can handle. I'd like to see how the grandbaby Momma and Talen is doing too...
@Marcia M Mike is still with us. He does a lot on his own, but does show up when it is an "all hands on-deck" job. The grandson is doing quite well. He's into the "terrible twos" and can be quite the handful, but I wouldn't trade him for the world. He brings us so much joy!! FYI...we have a grand-daughter arriving sometime around May.... Glad you enjoyed these videos. God bless.
@@RonPratt Wow...!!!! Congratulations to Momma and Daddy and all of the Pratt family on your soon to be Granddaughter...! Wishing all the best for a safe and happy delivery!
@@RonPratt Congratulations to Talon and Lauren!! I miss Talon being on the videos too. Our oldest grands will be 21 on the 26th of March and on the 1st of June. We also have grandsons who turned 17 on Feb. 1st and another who will turn 17 on the 25th of May. Then there is a grandson who is 15 and one who is 8 and a granddaughter who will be 8 in April. Time sure does fly the older we get. Today is my birthday...I turn 66 at 3:59 pm.
Awesome recovery as always Ron. You and your team could probably pick someone’s pocket with that Rotator lol. Seeing a Rotator in action, like in this job, probably makes it a completely different experience than using a straight stick.
Well Done guys . أحسنتم ياشباب
Just a suggestion: You should have a written inventory of the tools and equipment for each truck. These are excellent training tools for your crew so they can easily identify the tools available and where they should be located on the truck. Creating the inventory is also a good learning experience for the crew, and using the inventory, at least weekly, helps to spot any missing or damaged equipment. Using the proper names of the tools really helps with clear communication and intent. Also, a regularly updated inventory can be very useful if an insurance claim must be made.
Being familiar with the attributes of many types of vehicles also makes a job go faster and safer.
It is nicely apparent that Ethan is paying better attention to his physical fitness, and hopefully this will be a good example for Gavin. Dalton is showing excellent enthusiasm for the job.
An Excellent Idea. Just the thing Ethan especially and Gavin need to do.
You got to have MIKE GO BACK OUT WITH YOU..
GREAT VIDEO, STAY SAFE..
Nice throw Ron
Glad to see you post this pt 2 . Looking forward to it . Thank's Ron .
Good job Ron !! Didn't see Mike on this one ?? He is the best tow person/swamper/helper you have got !! All others have to be told 3-4 times ?? & I'm allowing some slack here !!
Their both are just learning. It takes time to become proficient in any field
Of work. Even Ron was a newbie when
He started out. And he's got 30 yrs
Experience and there's not much he hasn't seen in all that time. So just watch and you'll see them gain knowledge and experience as time goes by.
The radios you are using helps out for communication it makes it a little easier. One small suggestion give each person a position to do one part of the job upon arrival. Operator #1 set out cones operator #2 set up and distribute comms. This way those tasks get done automatically to free you up to assess the wreck. Making it one less thing to worry about. Great videos Ron and thank you for sharing them. I look forward to them.
Those boys are learning invaluable techniques and how to work safely as a team. Thanks for taking us along! Your videos remind me of Ice Road Truckers! Well done!
I start at a towing company Tuesday and I’m so excited to learn and grow in this field your videos have game me a lot of insight into what to expect and I’m so excited I’m 33 so I’m going into it a bit late in life but I’m a plumber by trade I’ve hauled a bunch of equipment but I still don’t think that prepares a person for what to expect in this field…just a week ago we had a tow truck driver killed in the line of duty on I-85 here in Newnan Georgia. I’m nervous but excited thank you so much for your videos. Much love guys!❤️🔥🤙🏻
It seems like all the young one you have working for you is willing to learn and to listen to you and the others that have experience in yalls job and it is nice to see the older ones of your crew to take time to teach the the right way
You and your crew make it look so easy . Glad to see everyone is safe and not injured .
A big job well done, I was thinking that I had not seen the spreader bars since a BMW being picked out of culvert many years ago.
Love your videos. Love how you show everything including leaving the scene. Keep up the great videos!! Love the Midwest Crew!!
When the trumpets play, you know it’s time to kick your feet up and watch some good ole Ron and crew kickin butts at towing.
I know it's all been said before, but Ron, your attention to detail, and your patience, and your willingness to teach is an excellent examample for all on the recovery business.
Enjoyed watching the video, ron
I got a workout just watching! Excellent recovery! Glad to see the younger ones out there learning. Experience is the best teacher!
You are a good teacher. Patient man, but that's the best way to teach. Good job.
Great Video as Always. Ron is a Great Teacher. Lots to learn but also have to do it in a Safe and Efficient manner.
Those cops there at 16:00 looks like they are having a good rest. They work 16+ hours don't they?
Wonderful 2 part video. Y’all made it look like a piece of cake.
Absolute legend! He definitely knows what he’s doing. Ron gets the job done while also teaching newer operators. Stay safe out there guys🤙
Mr. Ron, you have the patience of Job. I know this type of thing is mostly OJT. The old dude is the man. Love watching your videos.
This is a rare to see in a video from Ron to see the spreader bar being used in a recovery .
I think it is the 2nd or 3rd vid in few years... I can think of only 1 vid with a semi trailer off hand... Yes very rare indeed.
@@jonathanbair523 The last one I remember was one where a car was in the middle of a pond next to some power lines!
Twice in one Video LOL....
God job Ron...Didn't see Mike on this one ?? He is the best swamper/worker/tow-er you have got by far !!
I love seeing the wreckers on scene, aswell as the old faithful western star and unit 10 and 11, are they the only proper wreckers you have, would love to see a new wrecker in your fleet. Amazing video ron and Co, stay safe out there 🙏
RON, YOU ARE SO KIND AND PATIENT WITH YOUR EMPLOYEES TO EXPLAIN THINGS TO THEM. MY HAT TO YOU, SIR!!!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, AND, AS ALWAYS, YOU AND YOU'RE
EMPLOYEE'S, STAY SAFE, GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!
Been waiting for this teaser...thank u and God bless
This job is not for the weak. Wow im tired jus5 watching you lol😊😊😊😊
I too have been training new peoplw in excavation. Got to be patient with them. We deal a lot with buried power that could kill! great job Ron!!!!
I agree with Gavon and you about time. My family states it this way. "Today is the Tomorrow we were looking (or hoping) for Yesterday".
Nice job, parking #15 that close to the rotator is amazing.
The crew worked well and had a solid plan. Stay safe
I know the boys lack experience and they are gaining more everytime they go out, but my pop taught me to pay attention and anticipate what task, tool or risk was ahead. Show the energy and work with anticipation. Know your roles
Your doing an amazing job Ron, Patients with them is what it takes to teach them the ropes of towing and thier safety. Keep up the good work, and stay safe. Watching from Arizona.
I love that father & son are working together. Ethan is learning so much. Hilarious that Gavin tossed that tire. Mr. Strongman. Ethan & Gavin.. You're learning a lot. Ron didn't instantly know all. He had to learn. I like the cowboy hat hardhat!
Having watched Tailspin Turmoil Part 1 and 2 I understand why love the Tator as you do ;)
Love that you take the time to teach everyone and show everyone how to do it.
I was waiting for your part 2 good content Ron, may God keep you all safe.
Your courtesy and going down for the tagline at the end of the day was in perfect keeping with your character so well done
Weirdly watching last weeks episode I was thinking “it’s been ages since I’ve seen you use the spreader bars’ the last time I can remember was moving a couple of shipping containers 🤔😀
Your business is extremely strenuous and dangerous! Great job, love your videos
Hey Ron, you tell Kevin he as a good swing and that tire launch is going to stick the internet, good example of what not to do but that is learning.
Good morning Ron I am really glad no person was injured, I really liked part one and it’s nice that Gavin is being shown how to set up the spreader bar you certainly teach your guys step by step . After this you are going to have a lot of tidying up the truck but you certainly have been busy another great video watching MidWest doing a fantastic job. God bless stay safe and take care to you all.👍🏴
Brother, you have a lot of patience. Trying to do a job quickly and safely while teaching/training these guys that seem to not have a clue sometimes.
You do well at keeping your cool and get it done. Bless you brother and your family as well
You show and teach your helpers well, congratulations!
Super cool how the 1150 picked up both vehicles. First time I've seen the spreader bar being used/put together in real time in a actual wreck.
I was wondering what you meant by 'the air board' as well! It's your accent - ARROW board! - -
We Love You Ron...You and your crew and everything about you and what you do...!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good job Ron Pratt and rest of your team that's what I call good team work
Awesome , Thanks Ron And Crew 😊
We were getting tired just watching you guys! What a job to get all those pieces loaded up! Obviously you know what you are doing and how to most efficiently get it done. Ethan and Gavin are learning and no one should make bad comments about how they do! Really like the way you always ask for prayers or good thoughts for those involved. God bless you and your crew! Oh, and be sure to watch out for 🍌 peels!!
The plus side of Eaton's idea for the truck. Is if you bring it up front first it's less likely to want to roll over. God bless
You have lots of patience. Great job teaching.
Another great video Ron!👍
