OH SHIFT!!! LOOK WHAT DRAGGED INTO THE LOT!!!!

- Hello Ladies & Gentlemen and as always, thank you for watching!!! Today, the job gets dragged into us...literally. This very odd, oversized load barely makes it into our lot after some transport bracing appear to have failed. When the bracing failed (we believe that's what happened), the load shifted and had the left side of the RGN trailer dragging the ground as well as the transport bracing. I must give the driver "props" for his driving prowess and making it safely off the interstate and into our lot with this monster!!! We bring out our flagship Peterbilt 389X with Miller Industries Century 1150R to lift the load off the trailer and transfer it to a different style of trailer. It may not seem like much, but this is a tricky lift and an even trickier job of setting it on the new trailer. I hope you enjoy this video!!!
We have a difficult and dangerous job and we take it very seriously, that doesn't mean we can't have fun and enjoy our work. We strive to be polite, professional, efficient, and safe...and still can have fun. I hope you all enjoy this video!!! Thanks for watching and God bless!!!

I worked for a company that made things like this. I worked in the shipping department and my complaint was always the same. You can design incredible things, but if you don’t have a safe way to pick it up and ship it, you’re screwed!
Shouldn't that load also have been cross chained on the ends!? If he's going to haul oversized, he needs to be equipped for oversized, especially when there is so much extra weight on the inside drivers side.
I know Talon usually works in the shop area but it was nice to see him around the scene. Looks like a very oblong and a difficult weight to manage. I say he was fortunate to have made it to your place!
It was the first 'Oh shift' video (one with the steel beams) six years ago that got me watching Ron's/Midwest Truck channel. Every job is different, not every day the job arrives at your yard in this manner!
That is the same one that got me hooked. I have since watched almost every video.
I also started with the same video.
Me too!
Glad to see you could do this in the safety of your lot instead of along the side of the road.
But did it tear up the road dragging on the ground like that?
LOL was my same thoughts exactly, that driver had his hands full getting in there
Customer made that choice...
probably
@@bobh6728
Wow, that load was screwed up. But I am sure you appreciated that the issue was in your lot and not on the shoulder of a busy interstate. Good job as always, Ron, Ethan and the rest of the Midwest team
Since the cargo is round, the shipper should have built a cradle on the trailer so it didn't roll.
Since that thing is so big i don't think making a cradle for it would be a good idea or even work.
I agree. It should have had some kribbing under it on the trailer so the straps would be pulling down even.
It’s always good to see no injuries and nothing to tore up and glad everyone was hands on deck to help the driver. Everyone at midwest truck family 29:35 merry Christmas and happy new year Stay safe during this holiday season guys
Merry Christ Birth. :)
The real hero of this video are the straps keeping the load on the trailer. I bet the driver messed his pants when that load shifted rolling down the highway.
This reminds me of the episode of that old TV show emergency where a car pulling a trailer home stopped at the station because the trailer was on fire.
Yep, I remember. Even better, their son was in the trailer.
Your comment to safety for all the people is 100% spot on. I have seen other guys that don't take the proper time in doing this kind of work.
You should be proud of your safety record.
And I hope that you and your family and all your workers have a very safe and Merry Christmas .. 😁🌲
Manufacturers of things like this really need to have some proper engineering done on correct chain securement points so we can cross chain this stuff and prevent issues like this from having any chance of happening.
Yes they could have put tie downs anywhere on that when building it
Kudos to the driver for securing the load like he did - and quick thinking of getting it to the best place to be -
You did right to swing the load away so they could grab the cribbing. Nobody is ever allowed under a suspended load. That load actually looks like the forced draft ducting to feed air into a generating station boiler.
HAPPY AND SAFE HOLIDAY'S TO THE PRATT FAMILY AND STAFF.
My wife and I were traveling east on I 44 and we came upon a tractor trailer flatbed hauling some material. They were huge box beams with angles attached but the load had shifted and looked to be sliding off. In fact one piece was hanging out into the other lane. Not sure if he knew it or not but I told my wife to speed up and get around him or her. Where I worked on second shift we had loaded a rear end from a mining truck and where the driveshaft would be hooked to hung out past the side of his trailer. He said even though he couldn't haul it at night because of oversized load he would paint it black so nobody would know except for anyone he might hit. I thought he was crazy for taking a chance with that.
First trailer should have had some 6x6's lag bolted to the deck. Ron Pratt and team for the win!💪👍 Merry Christmas!
The real surprise comes when the lifting lugs ( that are welded on the drum) comes loose due to slag inclusions inside the plate.
Noot so common in that thin plate, but ....
I'm by far not a rigging expert, you are. I would imagine securing a round load like that would be difficult. I watch all of your videos, good stuff🎉🎉.
It’s not so much that it’s round, it’s that curve in the middle that puts the center of mass off to the side like that. If it was just a straight pipe securing it would be simple. We see loads like that on highways every day.
As Ron said ideally you’d want the curved side down to put the center of mass as low as possible so that it doesn’t want to roll off the truck and stack up dunnage under the ends before strapping it down, but as the driver said that would make it too tall for underpasses. I was right there with Ron as he was saying that, but then I’m not an over the road trucker and didn’t think of the height issue either.
You learn something every day.
That is one crazy load, about the only thing going for it is it isn't overweight
Hope all goes well on the drivers end during his trip. You guys did a great job! Thanks for the video!
You can tell talon misses the towing part, great job by all of you to save the load an trailer, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
You guys did a great job. Hope it makes to its destination safely.
Crikey Ron what a pickle. I sure was surprized that the truckie hadn't used the lifting eyes to secure the slippery round shape from 'rotating'. Nothing the master couldn't sort out. Merry Xmas from ya Kiwi fan to you and all the boys and gals at Midwest.🎅
Wow, amazing he was able to be able to bring that to you. This made the recovery & transfer so much easier. Still a daunting task. Awesome recovery with no additional damage. Not sure what this is but looks like a cement mixing barrel for a large cement truck.
Probably an air duct of some sort with a partial bend
Good job as always. But, I would have used 4 lines to control the roll. However, like you say, there's more than one way to reach 10.
I love you are aware of hazards and the safety of others. I feel like you and your company truly do care about the employees and customers.
Just to comment further on my last comment, people like Ron are the people you want to work for. They genuinely care about you going home the same way you showed up for work.
I hope he secured it better the second time. Instead of straps all the way over which let the load roll under the straps it needed straps just up to those lifting points particularly on the right side to stop it from wanting to roll.
I would agree, straps from driver side of trailer to hook, and back down, then from other side over to hooke and back again, would stop any rotation. ideally that should have had a cradle made to sit under it on the low loader, with eyelets they could bolt it together, providing a solid flat base, but that costs I guess.
Always prayers for you and family and crews and ppl in needs , every second and day, always.
Shalom
Yeah Mikey baby!!! AND Talon... you're spoiling us lol
Good morning from Rice Lake Wisconsin.
Hi Neighor HAHAH Wausau/Merrill...
Good afternoon from Scotland
Found your channel 3 years ago while visiting my parents in South Fork Mo
Ron, you all do a great job. God bless and keep you all safe.
Good morning from south eastern VA!
As for how they should have transported this, ideally it could have been contained in a square body dump trailer if there was one wide enough to fit it into. They could also have made it in more sections. The designers really needed to redesign this, and have some logistics company advise them on how to pack and send this for shipment.
if he was worried about height with a very low trailer, seems a dump trailer would be too tall.
Mr Ron That sure made the job safer and easier coming to your shop. Not dealing with traffic and extra eyes and hands. Thanks for sharing and stay safe
Good morning from Atlanta!!!
Welcome back Talon !!!!!!!!
Good morning from Michigan
GOOD MORNING!
So dang well known they are bringing the work to you now lol
That the driver got that load to you before things got worse, is a true Christmas miracle!
Good morning from Texas
Happy holidays from Iowa, miss tallion on videos for MIDWEST TOWING.
Bad strapping or improper/insufficient straps could have made this a lot worse. Driver made several good decisions to keep this from going bad to fatal.
I once saw a Cadillac obliterated by an improperly strapped load of lumber. When I saw it go by on the rollback, I thought it was a Geo Metro. If my father, who was a fire lieutenant on the scene, hadn't told me what it was, I never would've guessed. It's why I always throw an extra strap on anything I load in my pickup or onto a utility trailer and make sure they're tight at every stop. And if anyone fusses about the amount of time I take to secure things, to add that extra strap or chain, I remind them that they didn't see the Cadillac.
Another strange job, handled with professionalism and safety paramount. Safe holidays. God Bless you and the crew.
Rare occasion when the work comes to Ron and not the other way.
Hi Ron I am seech I live Trinidad watching your TH-cam videos for about 4 years I enjoy it and that rotator truck is awesome, keep doing what you does and be safe
thanks fot the great video from williamsport pa
Always a good way to start the weekend
Greetings from NJ
Good morning Ron thank you for the videos I'm from south Carolina
You gentlemen do a great job stay safe.
Another outstanding job. The driver is very fortunate to get it to a good area to work.
Good Morning from Indiana Ron
good morming from East Central Arkansas
Good morning front Texas
The company that built that pipe should really consider making cribbing on the underside so it can be loaded better and safely
Technically, it WAS cribbed, but with metal angle welded to the pipe, which broke loose and is dragging the ground. Ron said in the beginning that the weld was not good and broke loose, causing the load to shift to the driver's side.
My thought would be some kind of wooden cradles with chocks or something to support and add to roll prevention. But apparently height was also an issue, so couldn't put much under it, I guess. Also the lifting lugs seem like logical tie-down locations to prevent rolling
@@arcticelectric yes i know that and that was a piece of crap
Rons a professional
You all did great job
Good Morning There My Good Big Bro Ron Pratt Sir & I'll Be Praying For The Person In The Semi
Thank you so much for the video please post more videos a week God bless
Good work my brother.
Awesome job
Nice job guys Always
Great job as usual, happy holidays and stay safe.
Looking good Talon.
I love the wreath on the rotator.
That was different for sure Ron. I'm glad you were able to.do.it in your lot¬ the side of the highway or have to deal with this after the truck turned over. Great job by everyone involved with this.
I TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO RON. 😊
“Here we go”
Right turn signal
“Here we are”
Man that was cool and.big nice work 👍😁
Good job of keeping the driver's reputation in high regard with regard to the original securement. He definitely seems to be much more than a steering wheel holder.
Good morning from New Hampshire.
What a mess that was. Driver needs a raise.
Looks like a section of wind tunnel. Nice work as usual!
Good securement saves the load. But what a oddly shaped load.
It's an extremely large curved pipe fitting.
If Talon and Ethan both call you back to the shop it shows how much they wanted you to operate the rotator.
Not much travel distance on this job, you even used the break down van. At least there were lifting lugs provided.
Wishing the team and families a safe and healthy festive season.
That is one UGGLY pipe !!!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours and all of the crew.
Good afternoon from southern Norway. Nice to see familiar faces in your crew, Mr Pratt. Long time, no see.. Happy holydays to y'all !🎉
they should have put chains with shackles in the bolt holes on the 4 corners and some wooden wedges under it... would have helped keep it from shifting
Merry Christmas Ron to you and your family and God bless
You answered My thought about rolling it. Would be too high.
Thanks Ron...
Wishing you and yours a Very Merry Christmas and may 2024 be your best year ever.
If guess what that might be. I would say it exhausted vent. Maybe for steam vent. At electric plant. Because it almost look like exhausted vent for on a ship 🚢 . I had to pullout some filters vents on the ship the stacks where straight up. And they did have a bend on them.
Good Job 👍👏 Ron 🌲
You're right, The heavy part should be on the very bottom.. 😊😮😊🙏👍
Merry CHRISTMAS!
Stay safe and god bless
#therestalon
That was kind of an iffy load. but you see them going down the road all the time! You did good on your part!
*ODDBALL load.... plus distribution load is off too. I hope the driver made it to their destination ok without any further mishaps. 🙂.*
good job ron and team id like to wish you all a very merry christmas 🤣😎👌✌see you soon
Nice job mr Ron Merry Christmas
Ita an ai handler fube for heavu industry. Mill power plant etc. in simple terms. There is a center of Gravity point on the load and you line that up with the CG on the trailer and secure.
Thats where the FUN math begins.
Cause then you gotta explain that to the state permit office to get the permits to haul this piece.
I wonder why there was no wedges on both sides to prevent it from rolling toward the heavier side!!??
even with wedges it still would have rolled just from bouncing on uneven pavement. that's probably what broke the poor welds on the bracing. luckily the bracing stopped it from rotating any further by hitting the side of the trailer
What in the world is this thing??
Getter done😂
Did the driver say what was?
Hi,Ron. Have a great Xmas to you and your family. And a prosperous new year. Mike storey from UK 🇬🇧
what a beast! looks like a part of a silo...? great job. good to see Talon. dangerous but done well, imo.
They should have provided counterweights to balance the side to side weight. Since they built it they should know what’s required. They could add the weight after it’s placed on the trailer if there’s a concern for exceeding the lift requirements. On a lighter note, it’s sweet when the jobs come to you.
