A few days ago my grandson called to let me know he had run out of gas on the interstate. I grabbed my container and went to rescue him. The fill spout is in the driver’s side of his car. I pulled behind him and both our flashers were on. It was not quite dark and clear. I really felt for you as car after car blew by as I put gas in his tank. Probably 80% of the time the fast lane was unoccupied, but they passed within 4-5 feet of me. You wrecker drivers have my utmost respect for braving idiot drivers on a regular basis.
Really appreciate a trucking program with no cussing and swearing. Also your manners dealing with drivers and law enforcement are impeccable - thank you. Keep up the good work, stay safe and God bless.
Reminds me of the days when I first started watching. Talon brings back memories of the guys who jumped in and knew what to do without being told. Where are they now? That group was outstanding to watch. 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Yeah but heavy recovery is long days nights dangerous and wear ya out Ron is a guy same as his dad that just lives for it Talon has young kids so don't blame him for going to the office it's hard to get good help these days
Hey Talon, been a long minute since y'all been in a video, been missing you Twisted? Just a little bit, but y'all got it back on its wheels and headed for repairs, everyone's safe, Talon, you know better, go get a hard hat before something falls on your noggin Y'all be safe out there
I really enjoy your real and non-pretensious approach to your life, work, and videos. There are much smaller channels using expensive, full video editing suites, camera crews with gear worth tens of thousands of dollars, and tied to multi-million dollar fleets with ten times the number of vehicles as yours who still cannot match your content quality and watchability. Thanks for what you do and letting us "ride along"!
Hey Ron, a little videography tip,when the GoPro falls over, pick it up, dust it off, look in the lens and with a very concerned voice, say "hey, are you okay?"😅
That happened once. Ron's hardhead, er, hardhat and attached camera came off and rolled down a hill. Mikey retrieved it, looked into the lens, and said something like "Everybody okay in there?"
Love seeing Talon working with you. He really anticipates what you want and has it halfway done before you even ask for it. As close as you were setting that down, I thought I was finally going to see one of those turn signal stubs go SNAP! You set that box down like a mother putting a newborn baby in the crib for the first time.
Love to see family working together to get ppl where they need to go and having a wheels on the ground I did notice one thing where is talons hard hat at Ethan and Ron is wearing them and I think Ron has it where u have to wear one while working around any of the trucks
Glad to see that you had Talon out as well. But then again he has a little bit more experience with those units than Ethan does, but he's catching up. Gr8 job, sir.
Amazing to see Talon back in the fight. He must feel out of practice sometimes. On a funny note, I've been playing American Truck Simulator, and got clipped by an oncoming truck over my side of the double yellows which resulted in a roll over for me. In game physics, I landed on my wheels and drove on. My first thought, though, was to ring Ron and the MWT team to come out..... (I'm playing the California Map in the game and I'm from Australia, but it's funny how the brain works...... ) I love to see even the MWT Pete (#17) truck in the game, though.
Trying to do a very dangerous job as safely as possible in the nighttime and not have any injuries is a major milestone. Hello Talon, long time no see. The arms not breaking made this job that much more dangerous than it should have been. Excellent job, everyone.
It was good to see Talon back on the job. When the rocks started rolling around inside the trailer it took a second to figure out what that sound was. Sometimes what you can't see you can hear. Be safe out there!
Nice job, and nice to see Tallon again! Also nice to see your son ( in this short period of time) has at least the same knowledge Tallon has. Ethan is a clever guy! Good luck to you Tallon and Ethan! Thumbs up!
Ron, You had the “A+” team on this one (father, son, and son in-law). Laughed when Talon said “we don’t have these in the office”. Great work. Great video. Stay safe, stay healthy, and god bless..👍🙏
Really good to see Talon again. That looked very dangerous and tricky, especially in the dark. But excellent family team work soon sorted it. . These type of trailers seem fundamentally designed to fail and an accident waiting to happen.!!! Thanks for another great vid, Ron
Hi Talon! Good to see you again. I am impressed that it only took you a minute or two to retrain you. 😬😁You still have the hustle that you used to have. 💪🏃
What a pleasure! We get to see Talon again, and watch him, you and Ethan tackle a challenging recovery. I really enjoy the creative titles you come up with, and the sprinkling of "dag nabbit" and "dad gum" that you add. And of course, the interesting way you "get to ten" on these challenging jobs. To you, your family, and your entire crew, stay safe and healthy.
This episode takes me back to my earliest lessons from my trucking career. My OJT supervisor, who I rode with for 2 weeks before I got my rig assignment, gave me one of the most disheartening bits of information on my very first day of getting to drive (I piloted the jump seat for the first 4 days of my on job training, this was company policy). He said, "When you lay one of these frameless trailers over, you will fully understand what the phrase 'Be aware of your set-up and surroundings while you are unloading' actually means." I asked, "You said 'When', don't you mean 'If'?" His reply was like a full-on gut punch from Mike Tyson! He replied, "If you make a career of dragging one of these trailers, the lesson you need to take away from this is, 'NOT IF, but WHEN you lay one over'. If you drag one long enough, you absolutely WILL lay one over!" Fortunately, I never did earn that "when"!
Good to see Talon again! As always your videos are very entertaining. Over the past month I've been like a createure catching up on the past eight years of your lives. I've watched over 500 videos, some of them two or three times. I love your family. God bless all of you..
Ron, you're a bit older. and there are 2 young boys walking around you. Let them do all the climbing and crawling. It certainly won't make you any younger, but it will make those two wiser.
Good to see Talon out with you again. Yes it is a good video shot when it popped with you checking the 5th wheel pin. As always outstanding recovery. Ethan has progressed very well. STAY SAFE OUT THERE.
Great to see the crew back again , great job , as always, Hi Talon glad your back , Ethan good job , Yep Ron your taught theses guys well , they know what they are doing . Stay safe , Love watching your journey.
Hey Ron glad to see you can still move old man and Yes I can say that I'm just as old as you 😂😂😂😂 great to see Talon out of the office so when you going start teaching your grandbaby the ropes
Thanks for a super video Ron and crew. That was an interesting lift you did. Dealing with lots of situations there. Wonderful job everyone. Thanks. The retired Air Force veteran.
Things go much better when a good crew works together ! I saw one of these pop,in Michigan,and a crewman was hospitalized for 6 months ! I've never been fond of this type of trailer,OR the 3 stage hydro dumpers.
Glad everyone was ok and safe that's #1. A great job & at time as you know in your business you have to use your imagination at times with your rigging lol
Way to take one for the team there lil GoPro! Hope you're ok! And look at Talon trying to pretend that he doesn't know what to do after all the time he spent training with Ron! It's always good to see him out in the field but, the "waddle cam" needs to make a comeback. As always, be safe and God bless you, your crew and your equipment!
Nice to see young talon out missed yah talon
Yeah, all that desk time hasn’t rusted his field work skills a bit.
I think it has been a couple of years since I've seen him
He's always on the ball. Great video, thanks for sharing Ron.

Great to see Talon back in action!!!
Good to see Talon. Hope everyone is doing well. Have a safe and blessed weekend.
Agreed
Really appreciate a trucking program with no cussing and swearing. Also your manners dealing with drivers and law enforcement are impeccable - thank you. Keep up the good work, stay safe and God bless.
I've been watching Ron many years. He has never cussed and has edited his one or two videos where the customer cussed
Reminds me of the days when I first started watching. Talon brings back memories of the guys who jumped in and knew what to do without being told. Where are they now? That group was outstanding to watch. 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Yes, that was a real good team. Experienced, good work ethics, and none of them needed to be micro-managed .
Yeah but heavy recovery is long days nights dangerous and wear ya out Ron is a guy same as his dad that just lives for it Talon has young kids so don't blame him for going to the office it's hard to get good help these days
Good to see Talon again....he doesn't sit in trucks......
Howdy Talon do you miss the recovery work yet good to see you again
Hey Talon, been a long minute since y'all been in a video, been missing you
Twisted? Just a little bit, but y'all got it back on its wheels and headed for repairs, everyone's safe, Talon, you know better, go get a hard hat before something falls on your noggin
Y'all be safe out there

I know Talon has a very important job at the shop but I sure do miss him working with you.
Good seeing TALON again. Hope is all good with Mike. Miss seeing him in videos
Gosh !! I jumped at 28:26 when that 5th wheel broke loose !!
And Ron- tell Talon hello from all of us !!
Great to see both your young men out helping & working as a family taking care or business ! Great job as always ! Stay Safe and God Bless you all !
I agree with Victor jeffer's response.
Love to see family working together to get ppl where they need to go and having a wheels on the ground I did notice one thing where is talons hard hat at Ethan and Ron is wearing them and I think Ron has it where u have to wear one while working around any of the trucks
It was good to see talon on that recovery

Another Ron Get-R-Done recovery and all safe. Just one bang surprise with a pop. 3 wise men in the dark and thinking as one . 👽👍
Glad to see that you had Talon out as well. But then again he has a little bit more experience with those units than Ethan does, but he's catching up. Gr8 job, sir.

Nice to see Talon out on a job. Working hard as always.
Nice job, and nice to see Tallon again! Also nice to see your son ( in this short period of time) has at least the same knowledge Tallon has. Ethan is a clever guy! Good luck to you Tallon and Ethan! Thumbs up!
That one guy that’s wearing the beanie cap is a good hand . He jumps in there with both feet and gets the job done.
Good to see the two Bros in law working together with Dad.
Good to see Talon again

Good to see talonbackinactin
Good to see Talon back after a long time. Welcome back.
13:07 MAC does build a fine trailer indeed. I pulled their dumps, flatbeds, and pnuMACtics for years.
Great to see Talon! We have missed him; Talon always seems so calm as he works!

Good to see a nice technical operation again. I like seeing your minds at work solving the problem.
Good to see Talon again! As always your videos are very entertaining. Over the past month I've been like a createure catching up on the past eight years of your lives. I've watched over 500 videos, some of them two or three times. I love your family. God bless all of you..
Keep up the good work love watching you on TH-cam god bless
Ron would be an AWESOME employer to work for, because he’s VERY PATIENT!!! I wish I had the amount of patience that he does!!!
Wow that was a big scary job. You even scared me a few times. I nice to see Talon out and doing stuff he is getting good.
Nice Recovery.
Ron, you're a bit older. and there are 2 young boys walking around you. Let them do all the climbing and crawling. It certainly won't make you any younger, but it will make those two wiser.
Nice to see you three all working together...! 👍👍👍
Nice to see ya Tallon. Boy did it make me nervous as close to the rotator as you were working😂😮
Good Morning There My Good Big Bro Ron Pratt Sir
Thar was a very difficult job. But as every one did his duty you succeeded Greetings from Australia
Thank you for making an interesting video, with some known surprises. Enjoy a safe weekend!
It was nice to see talen back. We missed them.🎉🎉🎉🎉
It was nice to see Taylan on the job again. Reminds me of whe he worked jobs regularly with you.
Another great video Ron mate
Flatbed operator here, relatively new, but love watching the videos and it gives me ideas for rigging
Good to see Talon out with you again. Yes it is a good video shot when it popped with you checking the 5th wheel pin. As always outstanding recovery. Ethan has progressed very well. STAY SAFE OUT THERE.
Great team work
Ron I do love watching your videos . Been watching for several years ! Stay safe . I'm glad that the camera survived the " runover " .
If you son turns out to be half the man you are Ron Pratt, he will one lucky guy 🏴
Hi, I just love watching your videos, I've been watching your videos for about 4 years now. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!
*Talon is back 🙂 Ron, you and all the crew keep safe out there 🙂nz*
Like the lights on the boom...
Nice slow mo on the pop. I missed it the first time but caught the instant replay.
Great to see the crew back again , great job , as always, Hi Talon glad your back , Ethan good job , Yep Ron your taught theses guys well , they know what they are doing . Stay safe , Love watching your journey.
Really cool to see all the lines are in use. 😃😃😃😃😃
I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO RON 😊
Was waiting for a Pratt Fall but didn't get one. Maybe next time!
Talon making a guest appearance, love it!
When you put out remote cameras like that Ron, you should put a flag or traffic cone by them.
Hey Ron glad to see you can still move old man and Yes I can say that I'm just as old as you 😂😂😂😂 great to see Talon out of the office so when you going start teaching your grandbaby the ropes
Always the hidden "pop" to keep you honest.
God Bless you Mr. Pratt, "HE really does bless us everyday"!!!!!!
The first thing you learn on a construction site is NEVER be close to a raised end dump. This happens often.
Thanks for a super video Ron and crew.
That was an interesting lift you did. Dealing with lots of situations there.
Wonderful job everyone. Thanks.
The retired Air Force veteran.
Love the sound of those diesels working, its like music
Things go much better when a good crew works together !
I saw one of these pop,in Michigan,and a crewman was hospitalized for 6 months !
I've never been fond of this type of trailer,OR the 3 stage hydro dumpers.
Good job guys you guys make it look easy and work together well
Glad everyone was ok and safe that's #1. A great job & at time as you know in your business you have to use your imagination at times with your rigging lol
Wow you got the trailer and a go pro ad all in one!
Way to take one for the team there lil GoPro! Hope you're ok!
And look at Talon trying to pretend that he doesn't know what to do after all the time he spent training with Ron! It's always good to see him out in the field but, the "waddle cam" needs to make a comeback.
As always, be safe and God bless you, your crew and your equipment!
Jobs like that--especially at night--with all that twist in the trailer is when things go bad real quick--and you can't see them.
Most definitely was a challenge as always right man for the job 👍 and a like
Great job. Those frame less units can be very tricky. Especially when the arms are still attached with all of that torque on them.
I bet the folks over in Scott city are looking over at this place and wondering what is that little town, never seen that lit up before
Keep up the good work Ron, very interesting to watch this morning
