Flat Bed Faux Pas!!! We've Got a Leaner!!!

- Using our Miller Industries Century 1150R Rotator to help out a flatbed driver that had a little bit of an oops and turned a corner too short with a loaded trailer. This video is about the Heavy recovery of a truck and loaded trailer from an unfortunate situation using our Century 1150R Rotator. That is all. Again, I went to help, not to make the situation worse by belittling the driver. I was helping out a driver who, as we all have done, made a simple mistake. Please DO NOT bash the driver, unless you can HONESTLY say that you have never made a mistake. That''s a statement I KNOW that I can't make. Can you? Thanks for watching and God bless. www.paypal.me/RotatorRon

You need new wiper blades
If you read on the screen I clearly stated that I should have turned them off, but for EVERYONE that pointed out the need for wiper blades, here's an ear-worm for you: th-cam.com/video/3mZb3OxStaU/w-d-xo.html
Enjoy....LOL. Thanks for watching and God bless.
@@RonPratt how did I KNOW you were sending them here??😂
@@RonPratt - Now that was funny! 😂🤣😂
Samuel Holeman my husband’s sound the same on his truck when the window is dry. Drives me nuts when he leaves the wipers on while we’re driving
😂
Amazing how he could not drive his truck right to avoid the situation, but as soon as you get there, he is telling you how to get him out. I applaud your patience and professionalism. Keep up the good work Ron.
The one that gets it in that predicament, is telling Ron how to unstick it. Unbelievable. Good job Ron!
It's always great when the guy who put it in the ditch is also the expert at getting it out !!! 🤔🤔🤔
Truth
He should stay quiet and listen to instructions at least out of embarrassment.
Well a learner who on expert
l l they had almost the same plan, where’s the embarrassment?
I was saying the samething lol.
I'm not a trucker, just a nana who loves Rons videos.. Don't ya just love it when they guy who is in the ditch tries to tell Ron what he needs to do. If I were the trucker I would just ask Ron what he wants me to do for him.
I'm not even a truck driver or a tow operator and I love these vids!, (though I have been helped more than once on car issues)
Impressive tow rig and great job!
Thank you for sharing your experiences in a job that is difficult, dangerous and requires much ingenuity!
Much appreciated!
I'll say it that smiley face made my day.
Thank goodness.
It made me smile. Too much crack, I imagine.
The things that are required when editing the video.
Me too! Made me really chuckle. :)
To hide the truck company logo and name I guess
Yes,
It’s the First Fish Fry Friday (FFFF) and what better way to get prepared for the Fish Feast but to sit back and Watch a New Episode of Midwest Trucking doing what they do Best. Southeast, MO and the Midwest’s BEST Towing Company. 👍
I don't what b our trucking nation would be without you. You as re good at what you do! Thank you.
It amazes me after watching so many of Ron's video's how some drivers pitch in and do everything they can to help with the recovery and others barely get out of their cab and wait for Ron to do everything! I would charge the lazy one's more! Keep up the good work Ron.
Because it's just best to let the expert do what they know is best
Ron took one for the team: had to see the buttcrack firsthand but spared the rest of us with the smiley face. LOL Many thanks Ron!!!
The first time I heard the wipers I really thought you broke wind and was really thinking.. "No one heard that right". Thanks for the videos, they are great. God Bless you sir and Stay Safe!
Much better to see someone getting unstuck than to see a wreck being recovered. Have a great week end
going in to help, without "shootin' the blame game" is the most gentlemanly way and gives your customer, who already is upset enough, that little 'notch up' in his life we all need. Thanks Ron. Bill
You are so polite and patient with people who think they know the best approach, but who also in their next breath, say "but you're the expert" - plus, many of them don't even give you time to exit your truck to make an assessment, without asking you what your plan is.
I would not have such patience with people like that - they're fortunate that you do :)
Love your videos - I learn so much!
No bad language, respect for others, I wish there were more like Ron. God Bless you.
Well tied up that flatbed!!! Congrats whoever the driver was!!! I have driven truck myself years ago. And for Ron: I pray for your company and for its success!!! Very nice videos!!!
It just amazes me how many times you have had to tell professional truck drivers how to drive. Great job as always! Got yer six.
Yeah you really need to take a step back there. There is Professional truck driver then there is Rookies, Rookies won't listen and need to be told what to do. Professionals will Listen when being told what to do and Learn from it.
Yeah, He had an acre to make the turn and short cuts it in the ditch!!!!!!
Would it be possible for you to give a ballpark figure on your services for some of these recoveries? Love your videos, BTW.
Curtis Cox if he was professional Ron wouldn’t have to tell him how to drive!
@@7924hobo Don't know Mr Pratt's numbers, but from what I've heard generally a recovery operation like this easily set you back 500 bucks.
I love how you give us information we need before we can even ask!
Found Your Videos about a month ago? Absolutely Awesome...Im Addicted...Being a Retired Volunteer Fire Fighter.....You're the clean up Crew! No Disrespect.
Beautiful, Well maintained, Spit Shined Tow Trucks.....and Professionalism above and beyond.
Keep these videos coming.
GodSpeed Your Family, Friends and Your Crew that has to Operate these "Beasts" Day in and Day Out!
God Bless 🇺🇸America🇺🇸
Ron, you have the patience of a saint to deal with some truck drivers who frankly shouldn't be truck drivers.
In my desire to see more videos I have started watching another rotator although this one doesn’t have roll back. The one thing I have noticed is that they do not take care to not cause further damage to the vehicle as you do. Your respect for their property shows in every video of yours that I have watched.
In one video they caused unnecessary damage to the fairings on the brand new tractor. That damage would have substantially increased the repair bill.
Watching those other videos has increased my respect for you Ron as you have that respect for your customers.
TeeKay what channel is it?
RON I GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL I BEEN WATCHING IT FOR A WHILE I ENJOY
EVERY VIDEO A MAY
GOD CONTINUED TO BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Ron is the best.no matter what faces him he can do it. Well job done again.
Thanks Ron !!!!. The Tator saved the day again. :-)
Well, the driver secured his load properly!
and he is very nice too :)
Michael Gilroy don’t give him to much praise he could have several items underneath his tarp that’s not secured. He definitely needs to work on tarping. Maybe I need to invent some see through tarps since drivers like tarp then secure their load.
He did. Early days I asked a scale master how they determine if a load was secure. He said if you can pick up the trailer and turn it upside down and nothing shifts or falls off, it was secure.
Maybe the load, but not the tarp.
That's sarcasm right?
There he goes, tarp dragging covering lights and plate;). Great work as usual.
I've had to turn around in some tight places doing local deliveries. Although I've never been stuck in a ditch like this guy, I've been sunk in the mud and had to get a winch out. Every single time i shut my mouth and listen to the wrecker operator. Just love how you pull up to these guys and they always know how to do your job. They can't even do there own jobs!😂😂
I see this on every TH-cam vid, Ron, so don't let it get you down. Nobody reads the description, and people get SUPER annoyed by the slightest sounds (just like up here in MA when they call the cops every time a Harley fires up).
It was all good from where I'm sitting! Nice work, and may God bless you!
Judicious use of"smiley face" early on.
Okay, the timelapse at the end, getting to watch from a second angle, is so cool! Keep up the good work! God bless!
It's like running a marathon the physical effort involved in setting up the job ✌🏾
Windshield wipers are not an annoyance - I consider them a necessity. If you did not mention them I would not have noticed. You are always a total professional. As always kudos and admiration.
Such a great job Ron. You always handle things so well, even when it would be easy to get frustrated with some people. That is a lesson everyone can take from you sir. God Bless you and your family and crew Ron!
I started dying when that happy face popped up lol 😂
BIG_JAYCE_808 definitely better then what it was covering up
Lol 😂
He had on a pair of very lowww riders. 😎.
Thanks Ron for the smiley face I'm sure we didn't need to see what ever was under it. 😁
I really liked that driver, he was great. He was nice, made sure he knew what was expected of him, and thought with you without trying to tell you what to do.
No harm, no foul. I think that's what you call a rookie mistake, and he did the smart thing by getting help. You helped him get out of a bit of a muddy situation, and the only thing hurt is his pride. Easily fixed. At least you weren't fishing today. lol Have a wonderful week, and God bless every member of your family. Hoping Rodney and his fiancee are doing well. Update us, if you can please. Just a word or three will suffice. :)
The culvert and drain was muddy enough though.
That isn't a mistake. There is no excuse for why even a rookie would end up in a ditch with that much space to turn
When you first pulled in, I thought it was a prime candidate for a lift and swing.
Kudos to the calm and respectful BTC driver:-):-)
Thank you, Mr. Pratt for sharing your expertise and experiences- you are one hard working man.
I know you're the one out there, but I always feel safer when your recoveries are in daylight and not contending with power lines!
A Ron Pratt video , it’s gonna be a good day !!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and dedication to your profession. Really appreciate you and your control with the public. Blessings. 🙏👠👠
To me those noisy wipers just brings back memories of the first 25 years of my life I rode in a 18 wheeler from sleeping in the console of a cabover in diapers until I was 25 years old that's when my grandfather had to give up his 60+ years of trucking
There's the wrong way to do a recovery...There's that "one right way" to do a recovery...There's the customer's idea...And there's the "Ron Way" to do a recovery.
Guess which one I'd pick every time?
I see what you did there! :D
I said to lift it, ...
No one listens to me
Sara Llewellyn Ron’s way
Im going to go out on a limb here and say you are going to go with Ron, the Professional rotator operator.
Just a hunch mind.
I think being able to find holes in each other's plan, is what makes a good team
Oh wow... on the bonus footage at the end, you can really see the forces involved with that pullout being enacted on the rotator's chassis.. that's some flexing up and down !!! nice job Ron :)
Truck driver hand is caught in the cooking Jar ,,
But swears it was not him, and he has a solution for the experts . Great Job .
What seemed like a simple pull quickly changed to a situation that could have gone bad .....I’m reminded of my favorite quote from the legendary Red Sox and Indians Manager Terry Francona “ the closer you get to the game the harder it gets”...Godspeed Ron and The Boys. From Boston
and it’s such a WIDE driveway. He had so much room to use.... and he never fixed his tarp from draping over his lights
I'm hoping he gets a ticket for that loose tarp flapping over the plate and the insecurely strapped load that has shifted. He's due for a supreme chewing out from everyone involved. At least! This guy doesn't seem to have a clue. 😬😲
There is never a cop around for some amusement.
Nick E it’s a just another example that just because someone gets paid to do a job, that doesn’t make them a professional.
He was just going to the lot next door to unload where he had been directed by the office, no need to worry about it to drive 500 ft.
No common sense
I've never heard anyone make the connection yet, so I figured I would mention it. Three short horn blasts is a Maritime Rule of the Road and indicates a seaborne motor vessel in backing down. So the sequence does have meaning, at least a nautical one.
Three shorts is the old railroad whistle signal for starting a reverse move.
Nice job Ron and as always be safe n be happy
The floating smiley face was great!!!
I have to say that I really enjoy these videos. Some guy in the comment said it's fun that you have to tell the drivers how to drive, but I really like that these guys are humble and they really listen to what you say. I do a lot of lifting things in my company and I think your company's strength is consistency ... every recovery is made the same way. Each step is always executed and there are no shortcuts! that's the right way to do it! regards from Finland :)
Work at a precast concreate company the older guy thir told me a few tricks he told me the way people learn is by others teaching them thir way
Simply Amazing, all that you can do with that truck. Always interesting to see you operate. Keep up the good work and stay safe.
Another Happy Customer rides off into the sunset. Well. it was rainy, but you get the ideal. Well done Ron!
Always good to see the RooTator on the job
Love customers that tell me how to do my job.
Add a blabber mouth charge.
Give them a little grace, they did any oopsie and they spent all their waiting time trying to figure out how to get themselves out.
Doesn’t that incur a 25% surcharge?
That is a happiest truck I've ever seen he smiles from the front and the back !!! 😁
That smiley face is clearly hiding something. LOL. The way that trailer was leaning scared me but you always know how to save it from tipping. I love your milky white mud you have over there. In Georgia everything is red clay. Always love your videos.
the fact that Mater is on the dashboard shows that you have a sense of humor...SO important in life.
Thanks for all you do.
I can't figure out how he even got there! Besides being a rookie mistake ! Of being that close to swing around the culvert! But I'm just a 40+ year OTR wth do I know! Good job of making the recovery look easy Ron!
Looking at the trailer the driver didn't swing wide enough going out the driveway. Then once the right side tires got into the ditch, the driver tried to back the truck up into the lot, just planting it deeper in the ditch.
Yeah i was trying to work out of he drove in, or reversed and cut it too much? Theres tire marks on both sides of the ditch so i couldnt tell :D
It happens man years of experience don't mean anything we human we flawed by Design.
That big wide driveway and he still put it in the ditch....I dont get it lol
Mr. B knowing the turning radius is so important for sure, saves a lot of money too, just like avoiding dead end roads.
I love how you have added short man slings to your main hooks
I'm so happy that I found your channel 💛
Rather see a smiley face than a cracked moon...LOL
All that room smh 🤦🏾♂️
I was thinking the same thing
someone could have been pulling in when he was leaving, granted he should have waited.
@@daveyjones662 ikr? All the room in the world. The smiley face tells me he should have been a plumber and not a big rig driver.😂
I love it when the guy that ran his truck off the road tells me what he thinks we need to do to get it out.
Drive way big enough to turn the tractor trailer around in !!!! Putting the trailer in the ditch priceless lol just subscribed
Your videos are fantastic! Keep it up Ron!
Ron I love your vids keep it up!!
Ron you always do a great job. Glad to see a freindly and polite tow truck driver.
RON HELLO, but THOSE CLOSE RADOUS TURNS WILL GET YOU EVERYTIME, WOW! Trying to get my life back to REGULAR HOURS like normal folks , so I am observing this on SATURDAY @15;37 hours EST , been Cold here AT NIGHTS, now days too, spring can’t be to far away , STAY SAFE and GOD BLESS, cheers From NJ🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Your video's are very interesting, thank you for Shari nyce. Hi from Rockford, IL.
I must admit I felt just a wee bit of concern when I saw the tandems come off the ground. That could have gotten ugly really quickly. But it worked out right.
In the drivers defence, there was only 39 acres to turn his rig around. Great channel Ron. 👍
You know your stuff Mr Ron. You work so efficiently. Every move you make is not wasted
He stands there and watches when the first thing I heard you say was you needed the tarp out of the way..
How hard is it to grab a few bungee cords and tuck it up like it should have been in the first place.
It just kills me to see a tarp flapping in the wind, but what the heck there cheap.
Agreed, that's just lazy. Former flatbedder, no excuse for that tarp to be hanging down like that in the 1st place.
Yeah I understand the driving mistake. It happens. But get that tarp tight lol.
John V and then saids you can cut it if you need 😂
The trailer is on top of the tarp. That’s why the driver offers to cut it.
John V the tarp was stuck under the trailer. Not much he could have done.
The learner telling The Professional Mr Pratt how to get him out.What in tarnation is wrong with the rookie? Lol 🤪😆
driver is annoying as all heck ! shut up dummy, you put it in the ditch and called me, so let me TELL YOU how im gonna get it out....
@RT 87 if a guy like Ron Pratt was driving that truck, it would never have gotten stuck. Ron Pratt is an expert at operating his equipment which comes with experience, and as human beings we can all keep guys like Ron busy with our mistakes.
He must be a rookie.
love how powerful that Rotator is. just picks up things like they are toys
Ron, one thing we will agree on is we most of us have made dumb mistakes when driving. Mine usually are in a 4 wheeler and my attention is diverted,momentarily, from my responsibility behind the wheel. Thankfully tho NO Moving accidents, but one in a parking lot where someone had parked in a no parking zone and I backed into them, yrs ago. Am happy to relate my pleasure in seeing your professionalism at work in every video. You assess the situation, devise your plan of action then put it into action. just perfection in motion.
Hey ron way to go bud keep up the good work and keep safe god bless
Never belittle the drivers folks, without them making the mistakes, Ron wouldn't get the jobs, and we wouldn't get to watch..
That being said:
♫ Gimme forty acres and I'll turn this rig around. ♫
Ron. Got a clear view of your truck.... What a beautiful truck tater is..... Take care of the tater so we can enjoy your videos and maybe even learn something new... God bless ya and your family
I love it when you have to tell professional drivers how to drive !! You cover bloopers very well !! I just know there are times when you just want to break out some serious laughing !!! Great job overall !!!
With it being daylight out, how was the moon showing up in the daytime? 🤣😂😅
I just know the shadows make it visible. It is surprising to see.
"You're the expert" and then continues to tell Ron how to do it.
I would have picked up the trailer and swung it onto the roadway BUT that's why I am watching and you are there DOING. Good call Ron.
Thanks ron for the smiley face. I know you had to endure it , I'm thankful for not having too
Very scary situation oh how is Rodney doing did he find a new house
Sounds like you need some new windshield wipers..
I was wondering if he could hear the blades..my ADHD wouldn't let me ignore it hahaha
It looked to have stopped raining when they were squeking, sometimes wipers will make that sound on a dry windshield.
Keith Reiffenstein New ones? Does he actually have any old ones?!?
Lol I hate the sound of wipers on a dry windshield! I actually thought Ron would pick that up and turn them off.
Most people don't know but whispers last many years, they just need to be cleaned
Ron always the pro and kind.
Driver Wheel Holder
Towing isn't a glamorous job but it is challenging and fun at times!
Would love to see how he got there in the first place.
Arc nemesis gave you a break. Nice!
It was just waiting on the other side of the road.
Good job Ron. You are a true professional.
Always good to see a safe recovery, even though it is at someone's misfortune, but if you've never made a mistake, you've never done anything.
Thanks for sharing and best regards from the UK.
Ron, did you ever want to ask, "what were you thinking?"
Yeah how did he end up there? I'm so confused. I get that it slid but he must have been half in anyway
2:00 "one of our regular customers" haha their drivers are that bad, crashing all the time
That or that person has a truck that constantly breaks down.
