Just want you to know that I have never driven in my life. And I’m 83 yrs old bu5 what I see, you should all be praised for the work you do. God bless each and every single one of you.
I was so disappointed when O'Hare Towing quit posting their "Wrecked" videos. But now that I found your channel, I am a happy camper. Don't know what my fascination with these but I could watch them all day long.
This is like watching an epic story of rescue an recovery. I don't know why I watch these videos, but I love them and the wonderful endings they bring. It's like drama television, but much better. It's real, and its with someone I enjoy watching. Great moves, Ron. Keep it up, proud of you!
I am just a female that has no clue how to do all the many things that you do lol. With that said thou, ever since I saw your first video I was hooked and I cannot quit watching them. I seeing how dedicated you and your guys are and yall all always work so hard and work so good together. You are so detail-oriented and I can see how you strive to always watch out for your worker's safety as well as anyone else around. Even thou the wrecks or whatever that you are dealing with are always damaged it is great to know there is someone like you and your crew that always tries to still take care of the wreckage so as not to damage anything further. It is also a very admirable quality you show in always asking for prayers and good wishes for those that are involved. I could go on and on but I must get on to your next video, LOL. Thank you for all you do for those in need, God Bless you and your crew. Carol Dallas, TX
4:25 that quick little meeting just to make sure everyones on the same page and knows the dangers/hazards of the recovery.... never rush safety. Great part one Ron.. thx for linking the news story
Good afternoon sir. I am the driver of the truck in your video. I was wondering if i could share this. Thank you for all the hard work you do day in and day out.
I love watching your vids, even these old ones. As a former heavy-duty operator of 12 years I love watching your approach and thinking about what I would have done in the same situation. only thing I would have changed, once I knew I would be unloading the trailer through the roof is I would use the straight boom truck from the "bottom" side to secure the load then the rotator would be free to be aid in the offloading or moved out of the way to get the flat beds or another semi closer to make offloading easier. Plus have called a temp service for lumpers to daisy chain the load off with my guys being closest to the trailer. Although it would be horrible, but in the long run better if one of my guys got hurt rather than a day laborer from the temp service.
I know first hand the anguish of seeing a truck and trailer with so much destruction and then the fear of knowing that your spouse was the one driving. My husband had a rollover almost like this and by the grace of God, came away with very minor injuries. He was hauling bails of scrap paper and they lifted the trailer still loaded. I’m sure you can imagine the result. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
First video where I've seen most of your crew together. It sure does make a huge difference when you have teammates you know and trust on scene with you! Stay safe and God bless sir.
You sound like a God fearing man. If so, you have my respect sir. I haven't heard any you cuss in any of your videos which is most refreshing. Many thanks for providing content I can show my grandkids. My regards, Chris.
Ron -- This a good example of inter-agency cooperation. Time was taken to insure the "left hand" knew exactly what the "right hand" was doing, and communication continued toi insure that the hands were in sync. That's why you get all the hard ones! And when the other agencies know you're on the way? It's like, "Gee; what can we do to make it easier for Ron and his crew? And, what can we do to help?"
I have witched 10 or more of your video's, and the one I have noticed more then anything.. is you are scene commander and communication is tuff to have every one to think like you...I love the safety first.....
Looks like the whole Midwest Truck team is there also I didn't know the roofs of those trailers were that thin our trailers are metal roofs I guess those are skylight trailers?
Great job Ron. I ran one of the largest rig up trucks in the US for several years and most people don’t have any idea how much expertise it takes to complete a job like that. You are a great operator and are diligent about keeping your crew safe. God Bless you and yours through the coming year and have a merry and blessed Christmas.
Boy, it's been quite awhile since I've seen one broke apart quite that bad. These new trailers aren't made of anything, so to speak. At least you did't have to use any railroad jacks on the corners to begin to slide the straps under (LOL, we did that a lot back in the day when air bags were the latest and greatest thing and even before, Great job on incident scene management. Any good recovery operation always needs that one person that is in charge of the entire operation. We had one guy (Originally my father, later on myself) who came out on big jobs such as this in his own response vehicle (Ours was a one ton with a service body that carried some extra straps, chains and what have you), that way he wasn't responsible for the operation of any of the actual recovery units. He was there to give directions to the operators, check hook ups and placement after the winches were tightened but before the actual winching began and coordinate with "the sidewalk supervisors". Like I said, another great job.
WOW this is a lot more complex than how I would had addressed it. But you guys did a great job. I think we all should get a little into on how the HITCH on a 5th wheeler works and how to separate it in the best way in situations like this. PD , Sherrif and FD as well as you guys would benefit from it. Also I do have a Product I had developed for farmers which might come handy for you guys. It's a very bright Solar Flash lights on stands. let me know if you like to give it a try it's a 2 port system for easy carry. Tripot and Light Battery pack to flood light areas up.
First, glad the driver and kitty are OK despite needing fresh laundry. The brown stuff leaking in the creek probably wasn't oil :) Second,10 stars for all the blinky lights :) 3rd a couple of needed items for the Tator: coffee maker and restroom, lol Great job so far. God bless
Ron you have got to have the best team I’ve seem. You and your man think alike and understand what you are saying. Great job so far. As always be safe and God Bless you and your team.
You all have made recovery look like an exciting thing.....but there are these days that remind you that it is work and long hours sometimes..... Thanks for sharing, look forward to part 2
That one hits close to home for me. I've been through similar. I got caught in a downburst. The trailer was as good as empty, and I hit a bad expansion joint in the road just as a big gust of wind hit the side of the trailer. It jack knifed, coming close to slicing the cab from the frame while I was in it. All I could do at that point was cut the wheel, hang on and holler for help from the only One that could do anything about it. I managed to turn the jack knife into a 180 before it left the road and turned over. I walked away from it, but it wasn't without damage. 21 years later, it still affects me. Anything that makes a truck feel like that one did when it came loose ... even when the weather conditions are not the same , and no matter how hard I try to over ride it, I instantly drop speed. I'd get past a spot where it was gusty thinking that I handled it fine and was still at the speed limit, only to look at the speedometer and find that I'd lost 15 mph.
diggerop damn, at least you are okay though. I have a friend who has been trucking for 20 years and one day he got into a wreck, a lady texting and driving went into the other lane about 40mph. They hit each other almost head on, my friend lost control and went into a ditch, the lady hit pretty hard but walked away without injuries surprisingly, my friend hit a tree in the ditch and broke his back. From the whiplash. He is doing okay now but whenever I see someone texting and driving it really gets on my nerves. In a personal way. It’s scary how fast a couple seconds can change everything.
Ron. You definitely know more than all those agencies. You are so efficient and strategies. You are better than your dad. Bet you still miss him. I miss thar crew you guys had. Will watch part 2
Just started watching and I'm hooked. Wild guess with probably over a million dollars in those two big trucks alone not to mention an army of helpers that job would be worth 20K. Amazing job.
MAN was that a bad wreck! Looked like he didn't get a chance to slow down much before heading down that hill into the culvert. Yikes! Glad he's alive to tell the tale! I think this is the toughest job I've seen you do so far, at least since I've been watching! We'll see you on part 2! God bless.
You and your crew did a wonderful job in getting the trailer emptied out, and also getting the entire Semi ready to flip back over into it's wheels. God Bless You and Your Family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What a mess. You always know what to do in any situation and I am totally amazed how you manage your truck and the men working with you. As always, I look forward to the next episode. Watching from North Georgia. Love your videos.
Motivated team members are great. But sometimes, they can be a little too motivated and get themselves in to trouble. Great job quarterbacking the operation!
Good job working with your team and working together with your cops that have your back on the road from and the fire department have your back on the road from again from Michelle madson from happy valley in Oregon and that safety comes with your family and so that you can go home to wife and kids and god bless to keep all of the family safe
That was a very interesting job to tackle. I hope the driver wasn't hurt bad. I love the team effort and the courteous professionalism among everybody on scene doing their part to get the job done in the safest and most professional way possible. Thanks for another great video! Your videos never seize to amaze me.
Always easy to sit back and watch , a little harder to do it . Still remember taking a load of glass plate [45,000 lbs] out of a ditch backwards after the tractor burnt and we only cracked about 4 plates . Had to lift and block the trailer unhook , yank the burnt trator out and then get another tractor underneath and then because the ditch was to steep , back up down the ditch to a driveway and get the tow to pull right at the slope where the road met the drive nice even slope . It was a good night .
Hurry up with Pt 2 Ron cant wait for 2nd Part, its like Book you cant Put Down, one of the Best Recoveries so far I Reckon , only Bonus was the Load could be Man Handled out , no need to for Forklifts or Bucket Loaders
Just a small point Ron, you should wear a mask when cutting that fibreglass roofing material, not good if you inhale it....👍 By the way....a superbly executed recovery, very safely and professionally done, as ever.....will never stop being amazed with the situations you are asked to respond too, stay safe and god bless....👍🇮🇲❤️
What A Mess, I pray that the Driver is ok. What I see hear is Teamwork....working together like spokes in a wheel. Hey Ron, next time someone tells ya you guys have an easy job...show them this.
Hi Ron, I’m amazed that the trailers over there don’t have a chassis. Over here the trailers have 2 I beams running the length from front to rear. Admittedly the majority of trailers are curtain siders so need a chassis. Keep safe as usual and love to you and your family
very professional ron i always like waching you're videos cuse of how professional you are and you think about outhers and you always say yes sir no sir yes ma'am no ma'am dont see meany pepole do that and i always slow down move over for any flashing lights and i keep a reflective vest in my car if i ever need it just to make my self more viable day or night....may your recoverys go well and you return home safe at the end of each call
For the "haters" out there who gave Ron and his crew the thumbs down ? I'd like to see YOU go out there and do what he/they do on a daily basis.Go back under the rock you slithered out from under...darn trolls.Great video Ron.God Bless :)
Sonnicman Based upon another TH-camr’s experiences with such a sponsorship from DeWalt, Ron is more likely to come out ahead without such sponsorship. Plus there is then the added headache of needing to get release approval from DeWalt before publishing each sponsored video, then reworking anything they might want changed and repeating the approval process yet again until final approval is received, etc. Sometimes there is something to be said for being your own boss and not needing to answer to higher corporate powers, especially since they see TH-camr’s as a cheap source of labor and marketing because they are effectively buying many hours of your labor and viewer’s time for a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars worth of “free” strings-attache” gear.
That was a major wreck. To me one of the most satisfying things is seeing a wreck l ok keep this knowing that if you posted it the driver made it. Thanks for sharing
Please Ron tell everybody how long it took all of you to recover & clean up the mess also it's amazing that the driver is back to work!!! All the questions people keep asking how he is. You are a surgeon with that crane the way you put that trl part up on the floor. WOW. great 2 part. video.
Noticed the flasher on the wreck were still flashing long into the night, thought for safety sake, battery's would have been disconnected first thing?? Another fine recovery!!!
What a disaster this one ended up being. Was glad to read that the guys ok & his cat was found & returned. Folks really do not understand the amount of work & man hours involved in a recovery such as this. Being out in rural America, it is so important to prevent contaminants from getting into the creek, that is probably where the local area gets its water supply.
Not that I like seeing a blokes truck banged up and all your previous videos are interesting but I like to see the heavy recovery side more, you're a proper professional Ron I'd work for you anyday, stay safe brother.
I’m not entirely sure why but I am completely hooked on this channel (pun intended) great video Ron.(also you’ve proven that you have great taste by carrying a benchmade 943)
Part 1 @ 10:44: Ron, I think a few garbage trucks on this scene might be a good way to remove what appears to be coming a lot of clutter that will be in your way! but time will tell.
G’day Ron and greetings from Tasmania Australia I really enjoy watch your channel and I’m glad that I stumble across it. Your Peterbuilt tow truck is really something else also the knowledge and the safety issues that you find yourselves in and the fact that you don’t really know until you arrive on the Sean, I can understand why you carry the equipment that you do, very professional in your work and the safety of you crew. Thank you once again I have subscribed and God Bless and take care kind regards John
Oh my, that's a long one. And in pieces, more or less. Nice to see a coordinated recovery with the (full?) team and 3 different winch-bearing vehicles. A long task, judging from the lighting change - and it's not done yet. One thing that kind of .... "bothered" me was the fact that you (and a few others) passed under the taut ropes. I learned to give those a wide pass and go 'round the car instead. Longer way, but safer. Yes, I know there are times you cannot avoid it, but it was a frequent occurence in this video. You most likely operate under different safety rules - all I know is I would've been getting in biiiiig trouble for ducking under a taut winch rope to get to the other side.
i always how much a total wreck costs the company. 3 wreckers and saving a load has to be 6 bucs a mile per machine and 250 plus each hour per truck. extra for crews. got to be 20000 plus just to be fair to the towing company
Here's a news story and some pictures from the scene when this incident happened: www.semissourian.com/gallery/32693
Ron Pratt like the picter of Tallinn waveing to the guy ( do you guys have a cargo van for this type of stuff ( I mean like a used penski truck
Was the trailer previously compromised by rust, corrosion and age that caused it to explode like this?
Based on the news article, it's important we know that's a free flowing creek... great pictures of the first responders and your hard working team.
Great job as always, Ron!! Can't wait for part 2.
this happened in April and is just being put up 3 months later can you enlighten us on the reasons? legal?
Just want you to know that I have never driven in my life. And I’m 83 yrs old bu5 what I see, you should all be praised for the work you do. God bless each and every single one of you.
Hats off to Ron and all the team at midwest trucks doing a great job. God Bless!!!
I was so disappointed when O'Hare Towing quit posting their "Wrecked" videos. But now that I found your channel, I am a happy camper. Don't know what my fascination with these but I could watch them all day long.
Out of all of your videos. This one makes you the king puller.
This is like watching an epic story of rescue an recovery. I don't know why I watch these videos, but I love them and the wonderful endings they bring. It's like drama television, but much better. It's real, and its with someone I enjoy watching. Great moves, Ron. Keep it up, proud of you!

Greatly appreciated. Thank you for watching and God bless.
4:25 that quick little meeting just to make sure everyones on the same page and knows the dangers/hazards of the recovery.... never rush safety. Great part one Ron.. thx for linking the news story
Ron, make sure that you're wearing the right respirator when you're grinding fiberglass! That dust will make you permanently sick.
Good point.
Good afternoon sir. I am the driver of the truck in your video. I was wondering if i could share this. Thank you for all the hard work you do day in and day out.
By all means, yes, you may share this. How are you and the kitty?
We are great i'm back on the road driving. I drove by there last week again
Thank you
Glad to hear you are doing well. Is the cat back in the truck with you?
No he stays home now
I love watching your vids, even these old ones. As a former heavy-duty operator of 12 years I love watching your approach and thinking about what I would have done in the same situation. only thing I would have changed, once I knew I would be unloading the trailer through the roof is I would use the straight boom truck from the "bottom" side to secure the load then the rotator would be free to be aid in the offloading or moved out of the way to get the flat beds or another semi closer to make offloading easier. Plus have called a temp service for lumpers to daisy chain the load off with my guys being closest to the trailer. Although it would be horrible, but in the long run better if one of my guys got hurt rather than a day laborer from the temp service.
Well you were blessed that it wasn't a downpour with tornado warnings. Thanks for the video. Be careful out there!
I remember seeing this pop up on a news feed awhile back, they showed Ron & the boys unloading the truck. Well done all.
My friend, you ought to be on Discovery Channel! Your work is better than a lot of theirs.
I know first hand the anguish of seeing a truck and trailer with so much destruction and then the fear of knowing that your spouse was the one driving. My husband had a rollover almost like this and by the grace of God, came away with very minor injuries. He was hauling bails of scrap paper and they lifted the trailer still loaded. I’m sure you can imagine the result. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
First video where I've seen most of your crew together. It sure does make a huge difference when you have teammates you know and trust on scene with you! Stay safe and God bless sir.
You sound like a God fearing man. If so, you have my respect sir. I haven't heard any you cuss in any of your videos which is most refreshing. Many thanks for providing content I can show my grandkids. My regards, Chris.
Ron -- This a good example of inter-agency cooperation. Time was taken to insure the "left hand" knew exactly what the "right hand" was doing, and communication continued toi insure that the hands were in sync.
That's why you get all the hard ones! And when the other agencies know you're on the way? It's like, "Gee; what can we do to make it easier for Ron and his crew? And, what can we do to help?"
I have witched 10 or more of your video's, and the one I have noticed more then anything.. is you are scene commander and communication is tuff to have every one to think like you...I love the safety first.....
Ron you are an ultimate professional & your dedication to safety very commendable
David Winslager He's a modern "lead from the front" boss... willing to get stuck in when the need arises.
Looks like the whole Midwest Truck team is there also I didn't know the roofs of those trailers were that thin our trailers are metal roofs I guess those are skylight trailers?
Great job working with fire department. Thank you for sharing stay safe God Bless 🇺🇸👍😎
Thank God the driver is alive.. That rig is so mangled it's a miracle he survived.. Great job as always Ron..
Great job Ron. I ran one of the largest rig up trucks in the US for several years and most people don’t have any idea how much expertise it takes to complete a job like that. You are a great operator and are diligent about keeping your crew safe. God Bless you and yours through the coming year and have a merry and blessed Christmas.
Boy, it's been quite awhile since I've seen one broke apart quite that bad. These new trailers aren't made of anything, so to speak. At least you did't have to use any railroad jacks on the corners to begin to slide the straps under (LOL, we did that a lot back in the day when air bags were the latest and greatest thing and even before, Great job on incident scene management.

He was there to give directions to the operators, check hook ups and placement after the winches were tightened but before the actual winching began and coordinate with "the sidewalk supervisors". Like I said, another great job.
WOW this is a lot more complex than how I would had addressed it. But you guys did a great job. I think we all should get a little into on how the HITCH on a 5th wheeler works and how to separate it in the best way in situations like this. PD , Sherrif and FD as well as you guys would benefit from it. Also I do have a Product I had developed for farmers which might come handy for you guys. It's a very bright Solar Flash lights on stands. let me know if you like to give it a try it's a 2 port system for easy carry. Tripot and Light Battery pack to flood light areas up.
I know this is late but I'm glad you guys are protecting the stream and whatcha the ending of part two for a surprise glad the driver was ok
Thank you for another good video you always show the best parts
First, glad the driver and kitty are OK despite needing fresh laundry. The brown stuff leaking in the creek probably wasn't oil :) Second,10 stars for all the blinky lights :) 3rd a couple of needed items for the Tator: coffee maker and restroom, lol Great job so far. God bless
Ron you have got to have the best team I’ve seem. You and your man think alike and understand what you are saying. Great job so far. As always be safe and God Bless you and your team.
You all have made recovery look like an exciting thing.....but there are these days that remind you that it is work and long hours sometimes..... Thanks for sharing, look forward to part 2
You're getting good at producing these multi-part suspense posts. Can't wait for the next episode.
Ron you had the same thought as me use the winch to pull the 5th wheel release. Awesome job Ron awesome awesome job god bless you and your crews

Wow, what a difficult task. I hope the driver is fine. You're a great coordinator Ron. Blessings and may God protect you and the crew working.
Ron. You definitely know more than all those agencies. You are so efficient and strategies. You are better than your dad. Bet you still miss him. I miss thar crew you guys had. Will watch part 2
This video was really fun to watch you not only as an operator, but a leader.
Great video as always Ron great to see all your guys out on this job and it’s good to see all the services working together
I am riveted to my seat!!! Can't wait til part 2!
Wow! Ron, you are an amazing coordinator and a master of recovery. Stay safe and God bless!
Steve Nelson He is a natural leader speaking with confidence and clarity.
You know you've watched enough Ron Pratt video's when @6:55, you think "no, hook tip up" (and then he corrects himself) :)
rjtumble Hahahahaha, right! My thought too 😄
Lol
Enough Ron Pratt? Nah, there is never enough Ron Pratt!! I’ll keep watching as long as he keeps making! LOL
Just started watching and I'm hooked. Wild guess with probably over a million dollars in those two big trucks alone not to mention an army of helpers that job would be worth 20K. Amazing job.
Sweet!! Another multipart Ron Pratt video!!
MAN was that a bad wreck! Looked like he didn't get a chance to slow down much before heading down that hill into the culvert. Yikes! Glad he's alive to tell the tale!
I think this is the toughest job I've seen you do so far, at least since I've been watching!
We'll see you on part 2! God bless.
As always safety 1st, I love that you think about keeping your team safe at all times sir.
You and your crew did a wonderful job in getting the trailer emptied out, and also getting the entire Semi ready to flip back over into it's wheels. God Bless You and Your Family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow. What talent Ron. All that AND watching out for all the men's safety. Great job!! God bless you brother
What a mess. You always know what to do in any situation and I am totally amazed how you manage your truck and the men working with you. As always, I look forward to the next episode. Watching from North Georgia. Love your videos.
Damn - - - Another Cliff Hanger. Glad part two is right after. good job keeping us on seat edge.
Thank you Ron for sharing with us GOD bless everyone
Motivated team members are great. But sometimes, they can be a little too motivated and get themselves in to trouble. Great job quarterbacking the operation!
Good job working with your team and working together with your cops that have your back on the road from and the fire department have your back on the road from again from Michelle madson from happy valley in Oregon and that safety comes with your family and so that you can go home to wife and kids and god bless to keep all of the family safe
That was a very interesting job to tackle. I hope the driver wasn't hurt bad. I love the team effort and the courteous professionalism among everybody on scene doing their part to get the job done in the safest and most professional way possible. Thanks for another great video! Your videos never seize to amaze me.
The Midwest truck team and the fire department working together what a wonderful sight
Ron I need prayers sent to my Mom, just got home from the hospital ICU with internally and renal failure. God Bless You!
Always easy to sit back and watch , a little harder to do it . Still remember taking a load of glass plate [45,000 lbs] out of a ditch backwards after the tractor burnt and we only cracked about 4 plates . Had to lift and block the trailer unhook , yank the burnt trator out and then get another tractor underneath and then because the ditch was to steep , back up down the ditch to a driveway and get the tow to pull right at the slope where the road met the drive nice even slope . It was a good night .
You are a great leader Ron, thanks for sharing the video
It's nice to see the agencies cooperating. I have been to scenes as an x volunteer ff, where police fd and tow ops fought like cats and dogs.
I know Ron doesn't quote what each job costs but you know that this has to be way on top of the list with the man-hours and equipment being used.
Hurry up with Pt 2 Ron cant wait for 2nd Part, its like Book you cant Put Down, one of the Best Recoveries so far I Reckon , only Bonus was the Load could be Man Handled out , no need to for Forklifts or Bucket Loaders
So unfair the best cliff hanger ever. The more more I watch your posts the more I want to be come part of your crew.
Great vid i really dig how all you guys work together as a team and support each other to get the wreck clear
good Ron keep up the good work and I hope the driver wasn't hurt keep up the great work and have a great day
Just a small point Ron, you should wear a mask when cutting that fibreglass roofing material, not good if you inhale it....👍 By the way....a superbly executed recovery, very safely and professionally done, as ever.....will never stop being amazed with the situations you are asked to respond too, stay safe and god bless....👍🇮🇲❤️
What A Mess, I pray that the Driver is ok. What I see hear is Teamwork....working together like spokes in a wheel. Hey Ron, next time someone tells ya you guys have an easy job...show them this.
Hi, Raymond seems always keen to help you sort out the problems. A good worker.👍🌈
Thank you Ron,Mike,Talan,Raymon and all the rest of your crew, Wow 😲 that is one bad wreak i am glad the the driver came out ok 🙏
It is so great to see all the agencies work together!!!
Hi Ron, I’m amazed that the trailers over there don’t have a chassis. Over here the trailers have 2 I beams running the length from front to rear. Admittedly the majority of trailers are curtain siders so need a chassis. Keep safe as usual and love to you and your family
very professional ron i always like waching you're videos cuse of how professional you are and you think about outhers and you always say yes sir no sir yes ma'am no ma'am dont see meany pepole do that and i always slow down move over for any flashing lights and i keep a reflective vest in my car if i ever need it just to make my self more viable day or night....may your recoverys go well and you return home safe at the end of each call
What a mess that truck is! Very interesting how you handled it. Great job as always Ron. Stay safe and God Bless.
For the "haters" out there who gave Ron and his crew the thumbs down ? I'd like to see YOU go out there and do what he/they do on a daily basis.Go back under the rock you slithered out from under...darn trolls.Great video Ron.God Bless :)
Beth Bailey Sadly there will always be haters whose only joy in life lies in trying to bring others down to their same level of sad emptiness.
Great upload Ron , look forward to part 2
Wow, all hands on deck for this one. Surprised not to see you utilizing your Dewalt Tripod lights. +Dewalt TV you need to sponsor Ron!
Sonnicman Based upon another TH-camr’s experiences with such a sponsorship from DeWalt, Ron is more likely to come out ahead without such sponsorship. Plus there is then the added headache of needing to get release approval from DeWalt before publishing each sponsored video, then reworking anything they might want changed and repeating the approval process yet again until final approval is received, etc. Sometimes there is something to be said for being your own boss and not needing to answer to higher corporate powers, especially since they see TH-camr’s as a cheap source of labor and marketing because they are effectively buying many hours of your labor and viewer’s time for a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars worth of “free” strings-attache” gear.
That was a major wreck. To me one of the most satisfying things is seeing a wreck l ok keep this knowing that if you posted it the driver made it. Thanks for sharing
Team work and the most important thing is safety good on you Mr Ron.
Please Ron tell everybody
how long it took all of you
to recover & clean up the mess
also it's amazing that the driver
is back to work!!! All the questions people keep asking
how he is. You are a surgeon
with that crane the way you
put that trl part up on the floor.
WOW. great 2 part. video.
God bless you Ron, hope y'all are doing Ok. You do a great job.
This guy is a pro !! Awesome video Ron!!!!
Noticed the flasher on the wreck were still flashing long into the night, thought for safety sake, battery's would have been disconnected first thing?? Another fine recovery!!!
I like that your showing the mostly unedited video and splitting it up
What a disaster this one ended up being. Was glad to read that the guys ok & his cat was found & returned. Folks really do not understand the amount of work & man hours involved in a recovery such as this. Being out in rural America, it is so important to prevent contaminants from getting into the creek, that is probably where the local area gets its water supply.
Hello Ron I just watched your video of the roll over. I can't wait to see part 2
Not that I like seeing a blokes truck banged up and all your previous videos are interesting but I like to see the heavy recovery side more, you're a proper professional Ron I'd work for you anyday, stay safe brother.
I’m not entirely sure why but I am completely hooked on this channel (pun intended) great video Ron.(also you’ve proven that you have great taste by carrying a benchmade 943)
Amazing job Ron, so cool, calm and collected
Part 1 @ 10:44:
Ron, I think a few garbage trucks on this scene might be a good way to remove what appears to be coming a lot of clutter that will be in your way! but time will tell.
part 1 was awesome... great job safety first! can't wait to see part 2.. keep up the good work! stay safe👍👍
Thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family
hey Ron and crew, what a mess, text book as always and safety first. Love the shows, keep up the good work.
Great video Ron. I hope the driver recovers, prayers are being said.
Good job quarterbacking such a big job; doing the job is one thing but getting that many people moving in the same direction is another.
G’day Ron and greetings from Tasmania Australia I really enjoy watch your channel and I’m glad that I stumble across it. Your Peterbuilt tow truck is really something else also the knowledge and the safety issues that you find yourselves in and the fact that you don’t really know until you arrive on the Sean, I can understand why you carry the equipment that you do, very professional in your work and the safety of you crew. Thank you once again I have subscribed and God Bless and take care kind regards John
Oh my, that's a long one. And in pieces, more or less. Nice to see a coordinated recovery with the (full?) team and 3 different winch-bearing vehicles. A long task, judging from the lighting change - and it's not done yet.
One thing that kind of .... "bothered" me was the fact that you (and a few others) passed under the taut ropes. I learned to give those a wide pass and go 'round the car instead. Longer way, but safer. Yes, I know there are times you cannot avoid it, but it was a frequent occurence in this video. You most likely operate under different safety rules - all I know is I would've been getting in biiiiig trouble for ducking under a taut winch rope to get to the other side.
One or both rollbacks were also used in taking the product back to the shop.
ur amazing at what you do i cant say it enough
i hope the driver is ok
Enjoying your videos, Looking forward to ep2!
Driver was very lucky to survive that, especially with the way it ended up in the trees like that.
i always how much a total wreck costs the company. 3 wreckers and saving a load has to be 6 bucs a mile per machine and 250 plus each hour per truck. extra for crews. got to be 20000 plus just to be fair to the towing company
After this recovery the entire Mid-west crew are going to need a Holiday !!!
