Prime Mishap!!! Using the K. I. S. S. Method...

- Again, I wish to thank everyone who has expressed their prayers and/or condolences for the death of my Dad. The outpouring of support from my viewers has been tremendous and has helped in this difficult time. May God bless each and every one of you. Also, thank you for your patience. I am still making videos, but I took a couple weeks off-call after my dad passed, so I wasn't doing very many jobs. This is another job trying to get to the new normal without Dad. I will continue to perform jobs and create videos, as long as God allows. Things will be different moving forward. I have to trust that God will guide me and this channel.
So, in this video, I'm not quite certain how it happened, but a driver with a loaded spread axle flatbed found himself in a PRIME Mishap... The truck was in a ditch, bottomed out, and about to drop off a deep culvert. The loaded trailer was twisted and pushing the drives of the prime mover (tractor) down into the ditch until the dolly legs dug in. All coming to rest under our ARC nemesis, the overhead power lines. My first thought was to lift it out to prevent rupturing a fuel tank or creating other damage, but upon closer inspection, I decided that perhaps the K.I.S.S. method (Keep It Simple Stupid) would be better suited to this task. We shall see if I was correct.
Again, a very special thank you to all my viewers, family, and friends who having taking the time to show their support. May God bless and protect you all!!

I wait for you every day. And I like to follow everything new
Good morning have a great day and a blessed day 🙏❤🎅🤶🌲
That is a cool tow truck and an even better Operator!! Great Job!!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍👍👍
Yay Ron is back in the saddle! Your pops stowed a lot of wisdom in you. You got this!
KISS is one of the most under rated principals in everything
Thats an understatement lol
K.eep I.t S.imple , S.tupid
Prayers
A prime example of a guy having places to turn around and not using them
Good Morning Mr. Ron Pratt From Savannah Tennessee
PRIME???? I hope they keep him out of the caves over here in Springfield !!!!! Great video Ron Glad you are doing ok!!!!! Be safe my friend!!!
He could have at least stop chewing his gum and blowing bubbles and listened to you for a few seconds. Anyway great job as always Ron. Great Respect to your dear Father
chewing gum and blowing bubbles is a stress reliever and I don't really blame him. That was a very stressful thing to have happen.
Blowing bubbles is a lost art. 😉
It's only disrespectful if you take it that way. I myself wouldn't be blowing bubbles, but he clearly wasn't trying to disrespect Ron. The dude was stressed and chewing is a natural way of ridding stress.
The guy followed rons instructions with no issue
haha. the company have plenty room why he end up like that?
You are blessed to have had your dad with you all these years. My dad passed away when I was 9. Now I'm 56 and still miss him (and my mom who passed away 30 years after him). I often wonder how life would have been with him by our side when I grew up.
I lost my Dad suddenly when I was 16. I often wonder the same. I miss him as much today as the day he died
I feel the same way as you do PA. My dad died in 1964 at age 51, I was 7. My mom died in 1970, age 53, I was 13. I'm 65 and not a day goes by I don't think of them and wonder if they'd be proud of me and my decisions in my life.
I can certainly relate to your situation. I lost my dad when I was age 8, from ALS, and have no memories of him whatsoever. I lost my mom from a possible heart attack sitting across the table from me when I was age 46. Now in my mid-60s, and I’m now only one left in the family.
I'm with you on that, mine passed when I was 5, I'm also 56 and luckily Mom is still chugging along at 84. And, yeah, I still miss my Dad as well, even though I really did not get the chance to know him. You're a strong man, Ron, and seemingly strong with your faith. It'll take time, even though you might not think so now, you got this.
PA I lost my dad when I was 15 years old and I am now 61 and yes I miss him also wish you were still here I wish I could have had a dad to grow up with but you and I are basically in the same boat but we are blessed to be alive God bless you my brother from the great state of Kentucky and have a very merry Christmas
You just have to love them aluminum flatbeds. They love turning themselves into pretzels.
Could watch the rotator work all day.
One hard working machine. Thanks for a boost in to the weekend.
Prayers for you and your family Ron. I know your dad would be proud of you for carrying on his legacy by keeping the family business going. Your dad raised a good man. God bless you.
Well said, BRAVO!!!
We are so happy to see Ron return! Keep the faith!
bravo ditto and all that jazzz
A very nice video, wish you a quiet Advent season and a peaceful Christmas holiday, God bless you, mfg Ernst from Augsburg / Germany
Rookie mistake but he is ok . No damage to truck or trailer . Another beautiful job done by Ron and Tator
Definitely
Yes,a safe recovery and no damage to,Any Vehicle. Happy holidays!! G
Just a simple mistake is all even experienced drivers can do this
That's just something you learn from experience as he probably thought being off the road just a hair wasn't an issue, but then the tandem started sliding. I don't know the whole story though.
A good lesson learnt. Hopefully he doesn't repeat it.
Big fish out of a little ditch. I was waiting for that fancy front bumper to pull right off the truck. Nice Job Ron!
Or bend a good bit but thankfully they seem to have funtional tow grab points
Yes, lunch with Mr Ron, spot on time.
It's difficult not to have just a bit of truck envy. That is an amazing piece of equipment, but without the knowledge and experience of its operator, it wouldn't of nearly the use. Great job, once again, and my absolute condolences on the loss of your father.
Good Morning, I'm very sorry for your loss, may our Heavenly Father continue to comfort you and your family. Your Father's work has been done. God Bless you and your family
I don't understand why more people don't use a winch, not that a recovery strap would work here, but the control, power and versatility of a winch is in my mind superior.
Ones choice can be advice.
That could have been a lot worse. Great job Ron. I'm surprised those bumper attachments held up. God bless
Great job 👍👍👍😎👌👌👍
Condolences 💐
Good job Ron as always 👍👍👍👍👍👏 God Bless !
That young driver was extremely blessed you were the one answering R/A's call! What we witnessed here was nothing less than experience and dedication to the recovery industry. God bless you and keep you safe .
Again Ron so sorry for your family’s loss. Thoughts and Prayers are going out. I know that was one of your dads many favorite sayings.
😘K.I.S.S! VERY NICE!
Keep moving forward, Ron! I like your Dads mantra "Life must go on!" My family has something similar to say during hard times! It is "Keep your chin up!" I guess I've always took that to mean you have to look ahead cause you have your chin up!
Ron, your dad seemed like a great man and It looks like he taught and raised you well!. My condolences for you and your family!
God has blessed you with the ability to apply knowledge at the appropriate time and the wisdom to see what the result could be. I believe your father could see that more than you know and he was proud of you.
This video proves, Ron, that your method of making small, effective moves can even work with human issues. You inspire us all! Thanks so much--
I once raised a Gas tanker from a 25 meter ravine in my country, but I’m impressed to your methods Ron..I’m learning a lot…continue the good work helping drivers and the like on their road life….
One day at a time, one step at a time brother. They will be days that hurt, it's normal. It's been since 2014 for mom 2017 for dad. I feel them & talk sometimes. God bless y'all. 🙌
Welcome back Ron, we missed u and Love u very much. I, too, just recently lost my stepdad in the past 2 weeks so I know what you and your family are going though. Thoughts and Prayers all around. God Bless
Good morning Ron & family! Stay safe out there today
Ron, thank you for making to drivers day so much better. As you said, it could have been a whole lot worse. You are a blessing for the motoring public. You Dad did good!🇺🇸
Ron Pratt you're the real deal. I've been a trucker for over twenty five years and I'm so impressed with your professionalism. You made it look so easy sir.
First, sorry for the loss of your father sir. Second thank you for your dedication to un-snafuing situations drivers get into.
You probably don’t even realize it but your cool and calm demeanor about the situation likely did a lot to calm a very stressed out driver.
Be safe out there sir. Thank you for everything you do.
Are you Jenna from Driver Lineup? If so, hopefully y’all will never need Ron’s services!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO true. That young driver must have been real ticked off when he did this.
Bless you and your family. Dad was right, life goes on. He would want you to continue. Great to see you back. 👏👏🥰🥰
Hi Ron ... You and your family are still in my prayers
yes the tow hooks on the tractor look more decorative than functional.
At least they’re loops, sideloading the straight hooks can be problematic.
Thats also scary😳
I would completely agree, but in this case, that type of deer guard is popular with many companies & drivers. I have one like it, the hooks on the front of mine are very stout, it would hold a great deal of stress.
That was great Ron. You always make it look so easy. That sure could have been a whole lot different. Good job. Take care and have a good one. 👍👍👍❤️🙏
Like always Ron Pratt you done amazing putting it back in road
Ron your father must have been proud of the way you worked within the companyand now at this sad time you manage to carry on the name of"Midwest Thank you for the post My thoughts with you &your family " Please stay safe &keep em posted
I'm so sorry Ron to hear about your Dad passing away, it's been awhile since I had not watched your videos with so many things I had been going through myself, I too lost 2 people in my life, one of my old girlfriend had past away from a massive heart attack at the age of 55 back in May of this year, 2021 and 4 months later I lost one of my aunt at the age of 83, she had woken up one morning feeling fine but after about a couple of hours that morning she started to feel the worse pain in her chest cavity that was getting worsen and by the time we called 911 for the Paramedic to come out, she was already dead. I know it's hard to lose a loved ones and a close friend, my old girlfriend passing away truly hit me the hardest and still today I can't believe she's gone, I still cared about her even as friends.
I'll be saying a prayer for you and your family Ron.
Ron, when you said: "this will be interesting" your Dad was no doubt looking down on you from Heaven, laughing and saying: "watch my son!"
Well stated.
So glad to see you are coming back at your own speed. It will take time.... its been over a year since I lost my dad and I'm still not back to normal, if there is such a thing as "NORMAL"! May god bless you and your family and always know that your dad will forever be watching over you and your family until you meet again in heaven! I have found comfort in your videos in my time of loss and hurt with losing my dad. I have always felt a since of family and friendship in your videos and that is a comforting thing to see and feel while going what you and I, and I am sure many others are or have gone through. Thank You!
That is one hell of a beautiful hook and that operator got one hell of a fantastic job cujo's to the operator and an extra piece of raisin pie for supper
I'm wiping away tears re dad and you say, dadgum power lines ... and now I'm laughing too ... My heart still hurts w yours Ron!!!
So nice to see a "Well-oiled machine" of a man, when Ron is setting up the equipment! My deepest condolences Ron, to you and your entire family, from Denmark
Ja det er sgu spændende at se Ron og hans team arbejde , men det også sørgeligt at miste et nært familie medlem , men Ron er stærk sådan er amerikanerne
The precarious situations drivers get themselves into is really something else. Nice work on the recovery Ron!
Never a doubt Mr Pratt
By I never doubted you mr Pratt
Best looking truck on the road
I am glad to see you back doing what you an your dad loved doing . I pray for your family daily . Now you have another Angle watching over you
Your dad will always be watching over you. He will be that whisper in your ear when things get stressful or tough.
Ron, I’ve been watching the channel for many years now and I must give you credit for the way I now know how to be safer using the cranes at work. Everything from rigging to small, slow moves I’ve learned from you. Thank you!
How many times did this driver "get out and look" ? Me thinks none .
At least he wasn't wearing flip-flops !
Drivers, save the flip-flops for showering at a truck stop.
Considering flip flops and sandals are not legal in the US for a commercial driver to wear while behind the wheel
My condolences Ron, I only discovered your channel yesterday but what a blast! I'm just a towing truck enthusiast but I believe a lot of truckers can learn much from you. God bless!
Another Great job Ron. You & that Rotator make it look easy lol. She does A GREAT job & they pull didn't phase her at all :)
Ron I am sure there are not many people who understand K.I.S.S. From what I saw you made all the correct moves and made it look easy. Glad you back in the saddle again. Stay safe this holiday season.
There's a fine difference between K.I.S.S and brute force and ignorance. The latter can sometimes result in unwanted overkill.
There are a few meanings of K.I.S.S .
Good to see you getting back out but don't forget to take care of yourself and your family. 💔🙏
First time... nice when the weather is good. Awesome rig.
As an operator from 94-00, with what I've seen/ done, Ron is "The SHIt"!!! He's always so safety conscious, always a great teacher to much patience,and always so basic, mot tossing put tech terms expectng people to understand. Id love to have a boss like Ron.
Ron, first off prayers to you and your family. Second of all watching you work is amazing. Be safe out there.
Watched clear on a semi off an overpass yesterday. All day job about 16 hrs total. Nice guys and decent rotator but didn't do as much as the tator. Was able to relate a lot from your channel as far as equipment used. Thanx for the lessons.
Good to see you back in action. Have a blessed and happy New Year. Young drivers, gotta love em. My Dad was a trainer for the company he drove for, always said the young ones keep mechanics and you're truck operators in business.
Could be wrong but almost looks like the momentum of the trailer pushed it further off the edge when one drive axle dropped off and killed traction on the cab.. insteresting but unfortunate situation to have ended up in
I’m glad you’re feeling good enough to work again. I know your Dad will ride with you always. The peace of the Lord be always with you ✝️
Keep up the good work, be SAFE. God Bless
Great work! It's been quite a few tense moments, watching that trailer bend like a banana...
so sorry for the loss of your dad prayers going up for you Ron and your family
Wow that was a tight pull. Impressive!
I am sure everyone at Midwest Truck is taking really good care of you keep strong Ron
Coming from a small towing family, that was beautiful and a pleasure to watch. Kudos!
Thanks for watching and God bless.
Thank you Ron!!!
Another job well done Ron as always fantastic video keep doing what you do
Glad to see you back at it Ron great job. Your dad is always with you sir
First time watching!!! You are one upstanding, kind and professional man!!! Thanks for what you do.
Hey Ron,
This was so much better than earlier videos. This video did not show miles of the road getting to the scene, it was just the hard work at the scene! AWESOME
Good morning sir. Hope all is well. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
#wherestalon
Great to see you back in the saddle Ron. You are a credit to your Dad he taught you well and it shows in the way you can carry on with him watching over you. God bless you and your family.
Ron, glad you are back on the horse; know how hard it must be. Your old man would want it that way. Trust me, he is with you on every job now.
Good morning everyone from Central Virginia
Another job well done. Liked how you set the trailer brakes and pulled on the truck. I was also curious about the landing gear on the trailer but when the truck came out they came up. I always appreciate your slow steady winching. Such a key. Thank you & God bless.
Thoughts are with you, and great to see you slowly getting back to a new future with your Dad watching over you.
That was so smooth. So glad you got him headed in the right direction. Great job, Ron.
Never, I mean NEVER underestimate Ron Pratt!
Absolutely great job Ron you rock like always. Love watching your videos. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family
Ps I would love to have one of your hats.
Good morning Mr Ron prays and well wishes to all involved. Prays for your family and employees from Oxford,Ms
I live just south of Springfield Missouri and I see Prime trucks getting towed DAILY
I don't see them being towed daily. You must have a sixth sense of when they are going to be towed or maybe I just work more than you! Hmmm
Between you and that truck of yours, you make it look easy. And you're a hell of a nice guy to boot. My dad has been gone 15 years come February. I sure miss him and sometimes find myself talking to him. You will too. Let the good memories comfort you.
May somehow I give what I have been given
Be half the man of the one who rests near
A gentle soul who blessed those around him
Lord take good care of the man I called dad.
God Bless you , your family , and your crew Ron ! Your Dad is proud of you and will always be with you , in your thoughts and your Heart !
Ron, very saddened to hear you say on this video that your “Dad, had passed away”!!! 🙏ers for you, your family and your co-workers!!
I discovered your channel yesterday and I'm hooked! (Pun intended 🤣) love your videos and keep up the great work
Ron you are lucky that the truck and trailer didn't flip on its side, and God Bless you and your family and friends and may the force be with you
Thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family Ron. Please know that you're Dad taught you well and will never be forgotten. God bless him.
Hey Ron!!! Loving the videos, wish I could've seen you helping out that truckie get into the dock.
I got excited thinking he was going to show it!!! Then not.....o well, still a riveting video!
Thanks, Ron, for another interesting recovery. Belated condolences for your father. Thinking of you and your dad reminded me of my own father. May both their voices join with the angels in glorifying God.
I always wish I could show my father your videos. He was a mechanical engineer, used an old drafting table etc. He loved his winches, and always used it. He would have loved watching your work. He died at 77 in 1999, and I miss hi..
I always feel the need to stand and cover my heart with my hand when your videos start. It's a good feeling. Good work Sir. And my condolences on the passing of your Father. Treasure each and every memory. Been there, doing that, as I lost my Dad 56 years ago when I was 13. Keep doing what you are doing. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Praying for you Ron and family, it's hard losing love ones I kno myself.
Ron I'm so sorry for your loss. I've only seen your dad in a couple videos. But you can tell very close family.❤
Oh the wisdom of youth, probably what got him into the bind in the first place. Lucky for him, TowMater is tougher, and the skill of Mr. Ron, an excellent team. Ron your daddy taught you well, every job you go out on he is looking over your shoulder and smiling. A true professional and fine gentlemen of you to assist him while he may have been a little distracted and getting him into the dock.
Ron, have a safe day. Have a great Christmas and safe New Year to you and your family/team. God bless you guys, stay safe in whatever you do on a daily basis. Your friend, Bob Compton from, maryland
