- Using both our rollbacks to recover and then tow a pickup and dump trailer after they had jack-knifed, rolled over, and landed in a ditch. Both the truck and trailer were a total loss, but amazingly neither of the men in the truck were injured!!! Thanks for watching and God bless. www.paypal.me/... www.midwesttruc... www.guardianan...

Can’t help but feel bad for those guys. Two men and a truck trying to make ends meet.
Looks like a rental trailer too. Smdh.
I was going to say the EXACT same thing - you can tell they are just 2 hard working guys trying to make it...
There was another video a few months ago of a rental trailer that had the weight on the back end resulting in negative force on the trailer hitch with the same outcome
Yeah in today's world, that had to hurt the company 😢. I hope the one gentleman goes ahead an see the ER.
I can only sympathize with the guys. The main thing is they got away with their lives.
My thoughts are with that man. Showed a lot of heart that he was cleaning up the ladies driveway.
I pray that from the bad he and his business grows from this.
Isn't not cleaning the driveway really not an option?
Either they do it themselves or they pay someone to clean it.
Either way the mess has to be cleaned up.
Amen.
Amen brother! Ron does not tell us when this happened. So maybe he could get some of the PPP money. I hope and pray that he was able to.
probably just trying not to get sued by the lady/property owners for damages... everyone is SUE happy these days and more than not the only ones that make out from it are the shyster's and other corrupt folks. I hate to say that(I have lawyer relatives) but still, the full on corruption/high level criminality needs to be curbed...
I hope those fellow recover with grace and prosper
Yes, i feel bad for this business owner. Sometimes bad things happen, it's no ones fault. I hope his insurance helps get him and his business back on their feet again. Just glad no one was severely injured. I really wish they had gotten a medic to come take a look at the driver, but you cannot force people to do what they don't want to. I hope someone convinced him to get seen later on.
True professional walking right up to scene and making sure everyone’s ok and introducing himself.
Very sobering to see a reminder of how much a guy's life can change in just a few seconds.
Really sucks he seems like a really good guy. Lord please help that man in his time of need Amen. God bless
Thank you for reminding us to pray for and care for others. So much selfishness being shown in the world lately.
It really hurt to hear the man say he lost his whole business.
I have a feeling, he'll recover and be OK in the long run :)
From the top pinned chat, looks like they started a gofundme page! gf.me/u/x96t2a
Yes like he said his truck was damaged badly
@@throttlebottle5906 Yes I'm pretty sure he had insurance. At least he's a live to tell the story. Truck and trailer can be replaced but he only gets one life.
Hope the guy has full coverage and he can get back to earning a living in these tough times!
I hope he didn't drop the insurance to liability only (if that's the right term) due to tough times.
Stay safe out there.
Me too, but when Ron mentioned insurance, the dude said nothing. I'm afraid they may have been flying without it just trying to earn an honest buck. Been there myself. Heart really goes out to them.
Do folks in 🇺🇸 'try' to evade the cost of cover, cos they caint afford and they'll believe 'not me'.....
@@markhull1366 has
God Bless him, trying to clean all the debris. He looked like he was in a lot pain poor guy.❤️
Poor guy was in shock.
Maryann Souisa that’s so sad 😩
@@bxmachine yup and really needed an ambulance
I think that a GoFundMe would help that man. Anyone else agree?
*Im down, except idk why but GoFundMe sometimes makes me feel nervous because I’d think that someone else would be pretending to be this man And take the money*
100% agree
Yes. Just by judging from the look in that guy’s eyes, it seems like the loss of the truck and trailer is a big hurt for him. Even if just a few hundred of Ron’s viewers contribute a modest amount to a gofund me account for those guys, it will make a big difference.
Ron Pratt: could you please contact them and see what the situation is and let us know how your viewers can help. Thank You.
Absolutely a good idea i'm sure Ron would support this.
Somebody needs to start one. I'd donate
I learned one thing in this video Ron you do not see color you see people as humans this is what we need in our nation is people like you that cares for people regardless of skin color #thisishowwemakechange
Amen
If only people disregarded skin colour the world would be a better place. But racism can be a two way street. Let's stop this cr*p & work together !.
Another example of exemplary customer service, and then some!! Your genuine show of concern for the chaps involved in the RTC was very much 'how it should be done'. Excellent job! God bless.
if thats how the guy does business, I'm sure he will be able to get back on his feet
Poor fellows. Loved the time lapse at the end that showed the whole "call", including the edits from the video.
Nice to see two trucks in operation at once. Mike is.. extremely well trained. Well done to all.
What a gut-punch losing your livelihood in the blink of an eye like that. Prayers sent for those fellas to get back on their feet quick. Glad nobody got seriously injured - that could've been alot worse in that regard!
I got flashbacks from this from a tow I did 5 years ago. I have a Silverado exactly like the one here in the vid, only an extended cab instead of a crew. I had my 18' dovetail in tow to pick up a van. Well, this was a F-350 van, with an 10" of combined lift, and 44" Super Swamper tires - this thing TOWERED over the roof of the Silverado! Whole thing was apart - engine and entire driveline was removed, disassembled, and in the back of the van, so there was no way to load this thing without being tail-heavy. Seemed ok as I was accelerating up the on-ramp to the highway. I merged into traffic no problem, about 65 MPH, then went down the hill on the other side. Boy did that trailer start whipping! Almost the second I let off the gas, too. I cleared the whole highway - people were driving in the breakdown lane on both sides. I hadn't been so scared behind the wheel in years. I reached down and stabbed my brake controller full bore. Seemed like an eternity, but I held onto it, didn't try to correct - just tried to keep it straight and not go too hard on the truck's brakes, and she eventually calmed down. WOW!! I was sweating bullets! I went 55 mph the rest of the way home. As soon as I got back, I got on eTrailer and ordered a weight distribution hitch with anti-sway. No more white-knuckle rides for me! I could have easily ended up like these guys, only worse since I was going over 60, and had ALOT more weight behind me! Could've killed somebody else as well. I thank God nothing bad happened!!
Great vid as always, Ron. Hope you and the family had a great Independence Day. May God continue to bless all of you and keep you all safe.
Breaks my heart to see bad things happen to good hard working people. Prayers to them and full recovery of health and business!
If that was their whole business I really hope they can find a way to recover from it. It is a tough enough time for small businesses right now as it is.
Great blessing that it wasn't fatal and can replace truck and trailer. Can't replace a life....having faith and someone watching over his shoulder is a great gift. Recover fast I hope for that gentleman...
Wow that dude was in shock. But good that they were ok
S⁹
Damm! those are a couple of pretty tough dudes!, to go thru a nasty rollover, and then to make the effort to clean up the aftermath, hats off to some tough guys!
Great work Ron - feel so sorry for that guy. Accidents happen, just hope the police were fair on him and really hope he has insurance to get working again. Love the idea of a go-fund-me that many people on here have commented. If you could get something set up I will donate - the world needs more hard workers with aspirations like this guy appears to be.
Police seemed fair, as far as i could tell, didn't look like they blamed him for anything i could see, no clue what caused it, a blow out or animal cant tell you
Hi Ron glad to see you are recovering though you still seem to be struggling for breath at times, but as always prayers to the 2 guys involved and to you and all at Midwest...
Still recovering from that bout of pneumonia mentioned in last video, I'd guess.
Their first blessing is that the two occupants were not severely injured in what looks to have been quite the wild ride. The second is that you and Mike showed up and helped, not only with the recovery but with compassion for the two men. I ask for a third blessing, that they will recover from this ordeal bath physically and financially. Amen
And spritually.
go bless you Ron Pratt you and team are saints
It’s always the good folks, the people that bend over backwards every day to make a living for their family, that get struck by misfortune. And that’s not just a stereotypical lament but something I’ve seen many times over the decades.
Life is a gift and we should cherish it more than anything else but it’s best to accept that life ain’t fair. Sometimes it seems quite the contrary. Battles are there to be won but if life is one long uphill battle it takes a grand person to straighten your back over and over again...and when the working man prevails in doing so, that makes me immensely proud.
We shouldn’t forget that the working man is the real nobleman.
I feel so sorry for those guys, so glad they are alright, they can always get another truck and trailer.
But not a life.
These guys would be deserving of one of your famous gofundme campaign
See the pinned comment at the beginning. Someone locally has established a fundraiser. Thank you for watching and God bless.
That was actually a fairly complex job, Ron. I feel badly for that gentleman. He lost his truck and trailer,
and was shaken up pretty badly. It could have been worse, though.
Actually, the trailer did not look too bad. I think it was bent wheels on the right, not axles. Have to take a close look though....
he might not over load his trailer in the future.
Thankful for the help and support that the Police provided giving you a safe working environment.
Ron Pratt, another great video. Just goes to show what a professional you truly are!! Keep on keeping on!! God bless you & your family. And prayers for the 2 men & their families.
Yes feel real bad for that guy. Hard worker trying to make ends meet like everyone. Along with who he employed. Hope he is taken care of. Ron as always great job. There are other people doing recovery videos but you are the only one I stick with. For a whole bunch of reasons you are a pro and your a class act. The way you treat employees and others is commendable!, 👍👍
Poor driver looks totally frustrated with the situation. its a good idea using the block of wood to save the cable. Hope he had insurance. I came close to having a similar type of accident. I had my toyota hilux towing a large single trailer (similar to the black one you picked up) with an old VW Kombi body on it on its roof. We had to roll it on to the trailer off a bank. . We had old motors and some junk in it. It was all pushed to the front and id tied a rope between the "B" pillars to stop things moving back. A guy changed lanes on the motorway in front of me forcing me to brake hard. As i accelerated off again i think a motor broke the rope and the load shifted back. It started yawing and i went across all 3 lanes and back before i managed to pull it straight by jamming into 3rd an hitting the gas. I nearly had to change my pants. we pulled over moved the motors back and retied everything. it happens quick. Had a nervous rest for a minute and carried on.
The worst I’ve had on the road is going up a hill in a cattle shoot during heavy rain and poor drainage I hydroplaned twice and nearly lost control. We have a farm and I was going down a steep hill with a hydrostatic little tractor(50 or 60 hp) and about 4-5 tons on a bale trailer and it ended up pushing me and jack knifing on me since I didn’t have the breaks or gearing to try and slow it down. Both of my scary moments. Luckily I fortuned better than these guys like you did.
Bless everyone.
Your witness as a man carrying yourself as a believer is very good examples. Thx.
Good work Ron and Mike, Definitely feel for that man 100% you can tell he is just defeated at that moment but they are alive and thats what counts. Life may take a drastic turn, but atleast you are still on the ride. Best of luck to that man going forward.
From one LoadMaster to another, I like those little wooden skids for the trailer jack. That's alright. A former career as HC-130 LoadMaster, USCG 21 years. The flying was easy but we hustled on the ground moving cargo, using winches to load the aircraft and swapping pallets while making the "milk run" logistic flight and also maintaining the weight and balance on the aircraft. We were the mechanics on the ground and aircrew when the engines were running, sometimes we fixed our airplane to include an engine change away from the station and used local wreckers to hoist our engine in place.
Red October, from one vet to another, thanks for your service!
I have flown on C-130s three times. The best was the flight home in Kalamazoo, MI at the end of our Army National Guard deployment to Iraq in 2004. It sure beat an 18 hour bus ride from Fort Riley, KS! I got permission in flight to go into the cockpit. I had a great chat with a brand new navigator. The view up front is very nice.
@@klsc8510 A few times if we had a double crew on board on a long haul and when I was "off shift" I would hang out in my hammock above the ramp and door, tied my hammock to the two yellow verticles over the aft door, good sleeping spot. I did three years in the Alabama National Guard just prior to switching over to the USCG. We had a great unit, some of the guys traveled 6-8 hours just to belong to that unit, we had great morale and a close team environment. Thank you for rasing your hand to support and defend.
@@trex2092 Thank you for your service. God bless.
@Chris B Thank you for your service. God bless.
My heart broke when he said he lost his whole business. I wish they would've gotten medical attention too but I'm only guessing that would be an issue right now ; in his eyes. My prayers for both men in the truck and their families. I saw another comment about a go-fund-me page and I also that happens for him. I know you are super busy but if you get an update on them and can let us know I would surely appreciate that. May God bless all of you!
See the pinned comment at the beginning. Someone locally has established a fundraiser. Thank you for watching and God bless.
Thank you for the information 😊 and a faithful fan always!!
Same here, as an EMT I see people on scene that state they are fine. Then down the road they crash and have a brain bleed or abdominal injury. But he was more focused on his business and how he was going to recover. Prayers for those..
Ron Pratt I don’t see the pinned comment, was it taken down?
Very nice video of a sad situation for those both man in the truck. Awesome recovery of the two involved vehicles. It is so nice to see the US countrysides love that fotage.
The title instantly sank my heart, i thought a dog was involved in the crash, then i saw the trailer and finally know what’s going on, God bless
I am glad to see that the two guys where ok and that they were not hurt. I have no say they must of had a guardian Angel watching over them or something. Because they were very lucky to be able to walk away from this crash. God bless you and your family.
Great job on getting the truck and rental trailer cleared!
That truck is toast, but that trailer survived pretty good considering that everything rolled completely over. New axles and a bit of welding, it'll be good. But...because it's a rental, liability will probably cause it to be scrapped.
Glad that he's ok, but like you said, gonna get sore later.
Ron you are a hero. Never judge just give sympathy and great help. Wish there were more people in this world with your outlook. Thanks for great videos and stay safe
"Shoot! mike beat me." I thought he was following you.
That man looks defeated. I feel for him. :-( At least they wasn't hurt.
"Wagging" is caused by too much weight at the back of the trailer.
8:50 I moved my head to the side when you ducked under the cable. I'm trying to help with some Body English. lol
Power Steering by Armstrong. My old '65 Chevy C10 was like that. I miss that pickup.
my dad always tells me stories about his 67 c10 he sold before i was born. he regrets ever selling it
Ordinary Mo two of our family vehicles that I drove as a new driver was “arm strong” steering, one a 62 Dodge Dart station wagon & the other was a International pick up of indeterminate age, I think early 70s since the pulp mill wouldn’t keep them too long (Dad bought it from work). I love power steering! Especially when parallel parking!
I was hoping he would have had David the new guy with him. Or pulled Talon out. That was a mess.
Too much trailer, not enough truck?
Great video Ron. Had that happen to me, but through the grace of God I didn't turn over lost a wheelbarrow out of the pickup I had on the trailer. Broken handle on it was the only damage. But it wasn't a fun ride for a little bit. My youngest son was with me he said I can go to one of them parks and ride any ride after that ride.
Stay safe and God bless.
What a nasty mess to clean up. So happy that the men weren't terribly hurt, other than a few bruises. Nothing worse than having your butt wiggled by a trailer. It isn't the end of the world, but I understand that he feels that it's the end of his world. Prayers for the gents, and that they come out on top, and can continue to make a living. God bless.
The friendly wave goodbye at the end-- nice touch!
That man has so many prayers going for him right now. 🙏
Ron great recovery, thanks for sharing, will go a long way in helping me learning rollback towing.
i was riding my bicycle home from visiting my mom the other day and i seen a dust cloud and once the dust cleared i realized it was a accident. person got ejected but it was only him who was in the jeep. i seen a car seat and freaked out as one would wen u see a car seat in a accident or even a roll over but the child wasnt in the jeep at the time of accident. ive never in my life had that happen in front of me... had i been in the spot he hit it coulda been me as well. just hope the man will make a speedy recovery. he was talkin moaning and groaning(good signs of being alive) as they took him away in the ambo. but man its scary when accidents happen. stay safe everyone and slow down and move over for anyone on the side of roads
Feel for the gentleman...hard days ahead...God Bless him and his family. Thankfully he was not seriously injured! Prayer for the down hearted... Wow!! what a mess. Hopefully insurance comes thru for him. Hi and bye Ron...Keep up the good work. I'm sure he needed that pat on the back and words of encouragement. God Bless and be safe.
I've been close to having this happen. When moving my family to our current location, the tow vehicle couldn't control the sway of the uhaul very well, but by God's grace, I was able to catch control of the vehicle and get straightened out. The butt clench was nearly tearing the cloth off the seat though.
That clench has a term: "Naugahyde extraction".
The poor driver probably hit the brakes after it started swaying and sealed his fate.
@@841k9 My dad worked for a grocery corporation. Hauling, with a full size car and dual axle U-Haul,...get this....2000 lbs of GRITS. Came off the off-ramp, fishtailed the trailer, to the point it seriously dinged both rear quarterpanels of the car.
I'm thankful these gentlemen weren't seriously hurt, and I will include them in my prayers. Have a blessed and safe weekend. Take care.
Interesting watching how you load a trailer. The "skate" is an interesting idea. Sure worked slick. Keep up the good work Ron! I was glad to see Mike in a "take charge" role for half of the wreck. He really has come into his own, eh?
Good to see both occupants moving around but they will be sore. Another good video. Stay hydrated and safe.
I feel terrible for the gentleman. You can tell those guys worked hard for their money and had some nice equipment.
I am amazed Ron how you have to think on your feet so quickly to figure out a way to get the wreckage off the road without making traffic wait too long. You have to make the RIGHT decision so it is executed once or else game over. My hat's off to you!
Ron
Notice a lot of comments on starting a GoFundMe for the gentleman.
I could see the dread on that man. My heart goes out to them. Thank you for sharing your video’s. God bless.
Sounds like you are still recovering Mr Pratt Sir. Take care and thank you for the Friday highlight
Its wonderful how truly genuine Ron and his crew are. They set a great example how businesses and individuals should strive to be.
I'm in to help those men on a Go Fund Ron. See what his situation is and we'll go from there. Let's give them a hand, we can all do it again. Three times a charm!
See the pinned comment at the beginning. Someone locally has established a fundraiser. Thank you for watching and God bless.
I really admire your compassion for the 2 guys that were in the truck. This world needs more people like you.
Excellent work as usual. Also, thankfully the occupants seem to be ok. Hopefully they won't suffer to much financial difficulties over this.
You guys are top-notch! God Bless you and your company to continue the good work! I pray that man, his family, and his workers can get the business back up and running and are recovering well!
Maybe someone coukd start a gofund me page and lets help this man out. Right now in this crazy world we need to pull together even more. Dear sir 🙏 and ask god to watch over you and your family. Ron please , we need to help
Was thinking the same thing.
I generally don't look at the comments, but this time I did just to check if, by any chance, somebody would come up with that. Count me in for a donation.
I'd gladly donate to him to help too
Great idea, it would be awesome to help these guys back on track.
Please view the pinned comment on this video. Someone locally has initiated a "Go Fund Me" page for this gentleman to help get him going again. Thank you so much for caring, for watching and God bless.
Really neat seeing both trucks used together. It was fun was trying to guess what you would do next. Thanks !!!
Towing a trailer that is too heavy for the truck is so dangerous, especially with not enough tongue weight. Glad they were not hurt bad.
Actually have the same setup, but a Nissan truck the same size... and the truck in this video and this trailer weight ratio are just fine and it is rated for that.. To me it looks like the trailers battery either died this not engaging the brakes or the brake lines broke or came loose.. My bet, the battery died or was unplugged because those trailers do not normally wag the dog unless something drastic like a tire blowing happens. The trailers center of gravity and weight ratio are why they are one of the best trailers on the market in their design and capability. In fact after watching the rest of the video, they got lucky.. that trailer took a ride but outside some tires and bent rims, it appears to have held up damn good and should be fully usable again. They may need to replace the tongue ball joint as well but outside that, I don't see any major damage.
Gotta wonder if the the load shifted to the rear, and the tongue weight went negative.
it was that or he was going to fast, and started fish-tailing. Easily done with uneven load. Could be nose or tail heavy, which drastically effects and dangerous to vehicle.
.
in the UK a trailer that weight/load rating, requires you to pass a practical exam, and a license rating update
.
American Road laws a little too relaxed on these things.
I can't say if it's outside the designed weight limits. However, towing a heavy load with a pickup truck is never ideal; the back end is always too light. (and if you put too much tongue, it can pull the front wheels up compromising steering.) This is why I always use load distributing / anti-sway hitch. (and tow with a 3ton commercial cargo van, previously 30ft RV)
@ Malakei Usn
The trailer battery only engages the trailer brakes if the trailer becomes disengaged from the truck. Under normal circumstances the brake controller in the truck powers the trailer brakes. The breakaway cable was visible when Ron went behind the truck and found the mailboxes. There are no brake lines that go to electric trailer brakes... they are electric...
Ron you showed that gentlemen great compassion in a bad moment of life. I am in tears. God Bless you.
Good work. As always. A pleasure to watch. - Poor guys. Hope they can restart their business. :/
Lots of respect for this guy. He just rolled his truck and even in pain he was concerned about cleaning up the street.
Really felt for the guy when he said something to the effect of, "I lost my whole business." :( I hope he was insured and recovers.
Prayers from Canada for you and those 2 men, and their business. Thankful that they're physically alright, which is the main thing. I deeply hope they're able to get insurance sorted out and don't take a much of a financial hit... honest guys doing honest hard work. Thanks for everything you do as always, Ron! Blessings, Jay
And the fact that both of those poor Gentleman were in that truck and are still able to help clean up the Lady's Driveway show us just how far Crash Protection Safety Systems/Technologies have come...
If they had been driving something from even the late 80's they'd be on their way to the Hospital right now...
Possibly the ER but more likely the Morgue...
Absolutely true. Amazing, huh?
Good job guys. This makes me miss driving the wrecker. I've done many roll overs, and you showed the correct way to get it done. Outstanding service..
I've seen too many poorly loaded truck & trailer wrecks like that. A bit too much speed, a bit of a wobble and then add brakes then it all happens so quickly :-(
At least the guys were OK, but I bet they really hurt in the morning.
Glad to see no one was seriously hurt in this accident, why do they not put anti-sway bars on trailers? BTW Your title brought back a great memory, as a kid my dad and I was hooking up the camper to our 77 monte carlo and he explained how important it was to attach the anti-sway bars to the reese hitch he said it keeps the tail from wagging the dog and as I stood there with this strange look on my face he laughed and showed me with two hotwheels I had lying nearby what he meant by that, Thank you for that great flashback.
"Towed in tandem" saw that in the 60's when a mid to late 50's Pontiac or Olds, one of the big long ones wrapped around a tree dad could touch center of hood with one hand center of trunk with other 4 kids in car 1 injured had a hurt knee. they unwrapped it from a tree and two tow trucks took it to it's final resting place.
That was an interesting recovery. The professionalism and courtesy you show and have instilled in your employees is refreshing. You were there to do a job, but the humanity and caring way you interacted with those two gentlemen was so full of class.
I'm glad they're okay. Did he roll the truck too? I get the "tail wagging the dog" problem, but with the roof so damaged I have to believe the truck must have rolled.
BUT on such a quiet' ol Road ¿`?
One wonders how this happened on relatively flat ground. How fast was he driving?
Really made my day that the first bunch of comments were supportive of him and not blaming him for having an accident. That people were so supportive of a stranger, and that they could see that but for the grace of god and some luck that this was not them. Thanks all, I needed something positive today
Ron check to see if he's created a gofundme page. Sometimes when a man is down the sight of a hand picking you up is enough.
See the pinned comment at the beginning. Someone locally has established a fundraiser. Thank you for watching and God bless.
Glad no one got hurt prays for the drive. Be safe out there God bless
I don't know how long ago this was, but any way we can help this guy, I can't imagine losing everything like that. I don't have much but would love to help somehow
There's a link at the top of the comments to a GoFundMe page. Needs $10K, has $1300+ as of 7/13.
Nice to see Mike again.
@RonPratt that must of been some impact for that rear end axel on the truck to be like that lucky it was only shock bumps and bruises damn lucky some one was watching out for them.
From the extent of the damages we see in the video, it seems like it rolled over. The landing after the flip tore off the rear truck wheel and bent both of the trailer axles.
Newer vehicles, air bags, and seat belts save lives.
If 'someone' was watching out for them they wouldn't have been in the wreck in the first place. The mental gymnastics you guys go through to keep up with your man in the sky is amazing. I'm glad no one was seriously hurt.
@@josephcitizen4195 you are allowed to have whatever belief system you want, but whats the point in criticizing someone because they belief differently? youre part of whats wrong in the world today
@Producer K
Didn’t really think about it until reading your comment, but it looks like airbags didn’t deploy.
RON, HELLO, I am watching this @02;33am EDT, what a mess, but it COULD have been worse , glad they were NOT seriously injured, well, whatever job,,they had at hand is gone for now , they lost everything , hope everything was insured. Hope YOY are recouping from your pneumonia , get that vaccine when better GOD BLESS , all that’s best to your family Cheers 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What a mess. Those poor men were having a really bad day
Used to get these all the time on the 15 at the top of the Cajon Pass. Usually travel trailer's and half ton trucks. Spun 180, facing the wrong direction blocking 4 lanes, truck flopped one way and the trailer flopped the other way. CHP yelling to get lanes opened up, lol. Those were always fun.
If you can find out his situation, and maybe start a fund. If he doesn't have insurance.
When you said Mike was behind you, but arrived first on scene, it reminded me of a similar situation that happened to me. I was on a shuttle to a wedding from the hotel. The other shuttle left about 5 minutes before us. As we approach the venue, we see the other shuttle approach from the other direction. The driver comments out loud, “Oh, you took the long way, huh?” His point being even though the other shuttle left before us, we still arrived at the venue at the same time
Dang, another first video for me. That's 2 in a row today. Must be my lucky day!!
everyone else's internet is slow that's all.
Good job again Ron and Mike cooperation goes a long way 👍
These little dump trailers are so easy to load wrong
Loved the wave at the end , nice touch , made me smile .
What a Debris Mess. You Can’t be Hauling Butt when you’re Towing Anything or Else this Happens.
Feel real bad for those guys.... especially in the world today, things are getting even tougher to deal with. Thank God they were ok...that is the main thing! Will pray for them and of course for you and your crew and family Ron....for safety, health and blessings....God Bless Ron.
Does anyone talk to Ron when he's working? I do ... all the time...just trying to help figuring out the plan.GOD BLESS ALL AND STAY SAFE OUT THERE.
Another great job done from you both. Hope and pray this man will be okay and he can continue with his business.
A "tail-wag" is a sickening feeling...especially when you realize it's gonna be controllable any more.
Not controllable
Yes, I always hate it when I'm able to regain control and prefer to flip end over end.
If it starts to happen, slow down gently (do not brake hard) and try steer it out. In any event you shouldn't be driving so fast with a loaded trailer that you cannot bring it to a safe halt..
@@starlawilson4103 If you have a electric brake switch inside the truck you can apply just the trailer brakes & it will keep it from wagging. My grandfather taught me this back in the late 70's - early 80's. He towed a big camping trailer from Pennsylvania to Florida every year for the Daytona 500.
Happened to me twice, once down a two mile down grade and had to let it keep speeding up until I hit the flat as braking enough to hold speed sent the trailer into more an more wags, made but I was doing almost 90 at the bottom. the second was on ice and it finally pushed me into a 180. Both times I considered buying stock in Hanes :-)
I’ve been in a car towing a trailer that started to fishtail and it was very frightening , luckily the driver got it under control . Like everyone else , I do feel sorry for the 2 guys , a horrible experience for them . Thank goodness that they survived relatively unscathed and that no one else was on the road at the time of the accident .
Both of those men should be checked by EMS. Simply because of all the weight they were carrying and from the force behind the weight.
hopefully they went to urgent care after adrenaline wears off
