Now, what everyone wants to know. What does a recovery like this cost? Not the total cost of the accident, but roughly what Midwest billed the hauler for the day's work. I know there's additional fees for storage and later transport and so forth, but just for today with multiple units and dozens of man-hours, including the clean-up.
Apologies, but I don't discuss pricing on here. Prices vary too much from region to region and even from one company in the same area to another. I can tell you, that so far, I haven't been paid for this job. Progressive Commercial Insurance is refusing to pay the invoice for our services!!! And I can guarantee you that my invoice is "pocket change" compared to what Progressive will be paying out to the railroad. Sorry, you didn't need to know all that. It's just that I've spent the last week TRYING to work with an agent and her supervisor who simply refuse to listen to me and I'm very frustrated. I've never had an issue with Progressive until now. I even use Progressive for my own personal vehicles. Anyway.... Thanks for watching and God bless.
@@RonPratt no, no! sorry for making that kind of silly comment of mine Ron. I just thought that elsewhere in the world someone always must pay for things that happen... And nothing more I meant I swear. I don't know anything about your system of that kind, nothing believe me! I'm from another world, another side of planet and we (I guess) have something our own, something I have no idea how it's working at all!... All I probably wanted to say is how I appreciate your service, your attitude, your personality, and your country as well. I'm from 70s Ron, I'm the child of Perestroika. And I'll never forget this... Plus beautiful English language, plus American tucks, people of America. This is true love till the end of my life Ron... So, I'm sorry for my silly comment, sorry for drawing your attention to it, and, still, thank you for your reply, thank you for your attention... And heck I guess I love Missouri and its people for rest of my life! sir! 😀 Thank you!
@@RonPratt Possibly because Progressive holds the trucking company to be negligent in driving their trailer across the heavily domed/crowned road, on which it probably grounded, rather than "played chicken" and lost. Perhaps you need to persue the haulier directly.
As a train driver (not in the USA), please, please, always be careful near crossings. Not only are you risking your own life, but we also often suffer especially psychological trauma and stress after such an accident, especially if someone dies. Trust me, it's not worth risking your life, I have seen some really bad wrecks before with multiple fatalities, so just stop if the gates are down and if there are no gates look left and right multiple times to make sure no train is approaching! Especially long cargo trains have an incredibly long braking distance.
I second what you’ve said because I’ve been a locomotive engineer (driver) for 25 years. I’ve been through my share of this type of situation. On my line there is a gravel pit. The truck drivers into the pit used to always try to make a run for the crossing if they heard us coming. That was until a friend and colleague hit one of the trucks. I’ve heard that the driver is a vegetable now.
that is said every time theres an accident and yet accidents keep happening. drivers are too inattentive to their surroundings and oblivious to the obvious. even gates do not prevent stupidity and ignorance.
I was an engineer on the now defunct KLS&C. I agree with you. I never hit a vehicle. I did have a few very close calls. Trains stop like your car on wet ice. That is not fast!
Also, don't forget to listen. Sometimes the horn can be heard with no train in sight as the rails curve. And on a good day, that horn can be heard at a distance. Lived close to some tracks and you could hear the horn from over 1/2 mile away.
I’ve watched you clean up lots of accidents through the years. This is one of those where I find myself saying “ok Ron, how you gonna clean this one up?” Trailer with no wheels and grain everywhere.. Y’all never disappoint.. 👊🏼👍🏼
yeah nice to see hi, occasionally .. but remember Talon married Ron's Daughter ( sorry forgot her name ) and they have a new-born , so i guess Monday to Friday 9-5 workshop manager suits Talon
If your a trucker, its not a mistake, bad judgement. I tell people all the time don't get used to bad habits. Truckers need to know better, stop being in a hurry.
Actually, the driver won. Because if he lost, he wouldn’t be walking around with a smile on his face. I hope he was counting his blessings and maybe bought a couple lotto tickets in the process. The driver is extremely lucky!
I love the way you show anxiety without saying anything while driving to the scene with your hands on the wheel. Then, after arriving the first thing you ask is is everyone is alright. Worked as a medic for 45 years and never said anything out loud but did the same thing going to a bad scene. You sir are one class act as are everyone that works for and with you. Keep up the great work and God Bless. Thank you.
Hi Ron… @ 5:38🦅 this is definitely a sign from your Dad…!!! No doubt in my mind about it Ron… There are many ways our loved ones let us know they are still with us & watching over us. The way the Eagle flew by was definitely on purpose to make sure You and Ethan saw it…!!! Nice to see all the guys on the job with you too… Great video on all fronts...!
Hoping the train crew was OK too. It's quite an helpless experience hitting someone at a crossing when you know there's nothing you can do to stop it or avoid it. Stay safe out there Ron and crew!
All that corn just laying there on the ground is going to be a big feast for the deer & turkeys. It’s going to be a great thanksgiving dinner for the folks who live in area.😀🦌
I was talking to a buddy about your channel. Just when you think you have seen it all, well these types of videos comes along, it's always an adventure with you Ron, I'm glad you bring us all along. It's interesting how everything works, how to work a scene. Keep the great videos coming, as always keep safe, keep the highways clear and God Bless y'all.
Having grown up near RR tracks and 2 crossings, I learned that you don't mess with trains. There wasn't a fatal while I lived in the town but some of the aftermath would have made you guess. I wish that crossing safety was part of any driver training as that would help. Great job Ron & crew! And on a sad note, that was a very expensive lesson for the driver. I hope that he takes it to heart and passes it along to any and all that he meets.
This is definitely a PSA for being careful around railroad tracks. The forces to rip the axles off and that wheel are pretty significant. Like you said, trains always win..
Hey Mr. Ron! When an eagle fly over, it's hit me hard because I remember you said on your older channel about you and your dad loves to watch an eagle. Im crying while I'm tpying this. God bless you, your family, friends, the crews, and your youtube family!!!
That's one accident you don't want to happen. A train is always going to be bigger and heavier compared to anything, but accidents do happen, tho. You guys did another amazing job, Ron. God Bless you guys in all that you do.
Glad no one was hurt ! As always you andvyour crew did a very professional job good to see Talon out there with you all Ethan doing a fine job hes going to be a chip off the block as time go on ! Dad has taught them both well ! I miss my Dad ! He taught us 4 boys a lot ! Still have mom and we are taking care of her !
Well, at least you didn't have to make a meal of that job!! Yes, I know, that comment is a bit corny!!! Thing is, that was another fine mess you've gotten someone out of. As you rightly say, the train always wins. There's simply too much momentum for the train to stop 'on a dime'! Another fine piece of teamwork Ron and crew! Greetings from the UK and God bless.
Hi Ron. My wife and I watch our 3 year old grandson Ezekiel 2 days a week. He sat on my lap and watched this video and enjoyed it. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan
I can see how that happened. That is a dangerous intersection for a hopper bottom for so many reasons. It's always interesting to see what you'll get into next. It was awesome to see your dad send an eagle flyover. I know you are all missing him. Please stay safe, and God bless.
In addition to what others have said PLEASE, PLEASE remember this. The TRAIN ALWAYS WINS, the train CREW ALWAYS LOSES, either due to injury/death or the mental trauma of being unable to avoid a potentially fatal crash. Thankfully in THIS situation the semi "almost" made it, so the train only hit as a glancing blow instead of a T-Bone. The latter very easily could have caused serious injury or death to the train crew.
As soon as I started watching this video, I can tell you still love this job. Another chance to turn on you problem solving and engineering mind. Great job 👍 as always.
We see videos of trains taking out stuck semi's on TH-cam frequently but you and your team is the first time we get to see how the mess is cleaned up. Thanks Ron. REALLY glad no one was hurt. (how'd you like to be the insurance broker that gets the call on this one!!) Maybe legal implications prevented it but it would be interesting to see the damage to the locomotive.
This is the first time on this channel, I have watched Matt's off Road and Cascade Heavy Wrecker (Casey Ladelle). Each one of you have different rigs and handle each incident differently. Interesting and I am learning every day on the how it is done. Thank You for sharing and Blessings.
I would have thought they would have vacuumed more corn than that off the ground. I hope people drive careful through that area over night in case of deer. I like that Ethan can do a lot of things without instructions because he has been doing this job a while now. So happy to see Talon still helping out when needed.
Hi Ron, I wish you could orchestrate the recovery more when you have the crew available to follow your direction. Let Ethan operate the rotator and gain all the experience he can. You will be proud of your crew with a successful recovery. Good to see Talon there working together to get the job done. Nice work guys
There is this tow company out of Oregon that bought a set of tandems off of a trailer. . He said he is going to put a steel plate with three reinforced holes to have the ability to have four corner posts. He said he will use it to tow a trailer by the fifth wheel or put it at the back of a trailer that has lost all or most of it's wheels.
Ron that was a lot of corn the deer will be eating good. The recovery went well still good thought and wishes all that were in the recovery God bless. 🙏🙏
Somehow I'm curious who's gonna pay for this incident. My very speculative guess that some unlucky farmer gonna lose some coins... Gorgeous eagle's fly-by Ron 👍 Love such beautiful moments in videos: they tell us we're not the only living beings here on this planet, and the world behind our everyday errands is huge (and can actually live without us, and that's a bit sad to realize sometimes...). Thank you for sharing this sir!
The angle irons have been in use for many years and are very useful to have. Most of the time it's normally aluminium and way back some was in steel, i see those are the new ones.
Good Morning There My Good Big Bro Ron Pratt Sir & I Am Still Praying For You & All Of You're Whole Family & All Of You're Whole Staff As Well & All Of The People Involved In The Automobile Accident
Harvesting has been going on in my area of Nebraska for a while. And there’s many unprotected crossings into the fields. And I’m sure many are just temporary drivers so hopefully they pay attention. I just gave up my CDL after 20 years, I really don’t want to go back over the road but I checked for certain that I’ll be able to do harvest if the need arise.
Brother (& in-law) of two engineers, both experienced incidences like this, and it was heart-wrenching to observe. I hate to think what it would be like to actually go through it. First off, crews were replaced before the train was allowed to move. Mandatory off time, and a psychiatric evaluation before going back to work. Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork. Investigation. Clouds of litigation threaten even though everything was done correctly on the train crews part. All that on top of knowing someone's life was lost or permanently altered under YOUR wheels. Don't risk it, it isn't worth it. Not for anyone.
Now, what everyone wants to know. What does a recovery like this cost? Not the total cost of the accident, but roughly what Midwest billed the hauler for the day's work.

The fact that first full sentence Ron said on scene was to check on the driver, is the definition of a Class act.
This is why I love this channel Ron's first thought is always the victim of the wreck and his utmost love of God

Talon works more in has primarily been working in the shop and in the office. The company has been growing steadily.

I have been a big fan of Ron's channel for a couple years
👍
I love this channel
It's one of many I subscribe to, I don't have a favorite.
Ron provides more than one grain of truth in everything he says and does. Thousands of them in this instance. :)
Hi 👋
🍋🟩🍋🟩🍋🟩
Im trucker thanks for being there .we all make mistakes .its someone like you that help us out. THANKS AGAIN
That’s a pretty big mistake. Guy didn’t understand how to drive across tracks without looking. Not very smart.
If your a trucker, its not a mistake, bad judgement. I tell people all the time don't get used to bad habits. Truckers need to know better, stop being in a hurry.
Train won, trailer lost, driver lost, grain owner lost. Deer and other critters extremely appreciative.
Actually, the driver won. Because if he lost, he wouldn’t be walking around with a smile on his face. I hope he was counting his blessings and maybe bought a couple lotto tickets in the process. The driver is extremely lucky!
😊
I am sure there is some damage to the front of the lead locomotive.
@MattyMatt80 True. I was thinking about his job. Couple of seconds later crossing that track would have been disasterous.

"not a very strong weld"...."this thing got hit by a train." lol
I knew as soon as they started to hook up to it, "That ain't gonna work."
Hi Ron… @ 5:38🦅 this is definitely a sign from your Dad…!!! No doubt in my mind about it Ron… There are many ways our loved ones let us know they are still with us & watching over us. The way the Eagle flew by was definitely on purpose to make sure You and Ethan saw it…!!! Nice to see all the guys on the job with you too… Great video on all fronts...!
Yep the big boss checking in.😊
Seeing that Eagle brought warm tears to my eyes rembering your wonderful father Ron...
I love that your first question is : where’s the driver . Second question: you ok sir … did not go unnoticed …
Hoping the train crew was OK too. It's quite an helpless experience hitting someone at a crossing when you know there's nothing you can do to stop it or avoid it.
Stay safe out there Ron and crew!
You are very right about being the crew! You hit the horn and put the train into emergency.
All that corn just laying there on the ground is going to be a big feast for the deer & turkeys. It’s going to be a great thanksgiving dinner for the folks who live in area.😀🦌
I don't think Ethan quite thought removing that protector through. Glad no one was injured. What a mess!
Good to see Talon again! I bet he’s glad to get out of the office once in a while! 😉
Everything about this job was "I dont like it, but we'll do it."
I know I can't be the only one who thought that passing Eagle was Ron's Dad checking on things.
Looks like the birds will enjoy a good feast
Don't forget the deer!!
And The Deer.🦌 🦌
And the deer
And the deer!
And the deer
Glad the driver was ok. Never ever try to beat a train. It isn't worth the risk. Good job Ron and his crew getting things cleaned up
Yeah, Talon came out to play!!!
A-maize-ing job, gentlemen!!!
🍋🟩🍋🟩🍋🟩
Ron,as always you and your guys are always funny and professional on the recovery and always good seeing Talon on the video again God bless you guy
Every time Ron mentions Terry, I’m just waiting for him to yell “Put it in reverse terry! Oh lawd Terry!”
Thanks Ron and crew for a super interesting pick and load.
Good job everyone.
That Eagle is passing the word..feast at the tracks tonight. You're right Ron, hunters paradise ❤️
You got a mess.. nice TEAM... This is GREAT..
Terry made me think of a squirrel in and out of that trailer bed with such ease. 😂
Always work together in a tense situation Ethan and the other employees have learned so much from you and your dad and yes we all miss him. God Bless
You are a class act!! Keep on towing!!
Ron and his team does a good job and I love what they do
I love this . I used to watch back in 2020 when I was laid up for 6 weeks. Glad to be on again.
Wonderful job glad nobody was hurt and the deer are going to be extremely happy Stay Safe and GOD BLESS you all
I am glad no one was hurt, after reading the other comments, I was surprised no one commented what an AMAZING recovery, 😊😊😊

Have a Jesus filled day everyone

Gonna be some car-deer interactions once the deer get a sniff of the leftover corn.
I hope not. Ron doesn't need any more business there right now.
I can see how that happened. That is a dangerous intersection for a hopper bottom for so many reasons. It's always interesting to see what you'll get into next. It was awesome to see your dad send an eagle flyover. I know you are all missing him. Please stay safe, and God bless.
U are definitely right the trailer always loses and that is one hell of a mess cleanup
You guys did a wonderful job.
I DO VERY MUCH COULD WATCH THIS ALL DAY
The addition of a couple of N52 magnets on those protectors would probably be an asset.
It's so nice to see all the team work. Praise the l9rd everything went good
That was a challenge. Great job guys. Those edge protectors are handy. God bless, stay safe, and I will see you later.
Talon must be getting bored in the shop.. its great seeing him back on the scenes..Awesome crew
Train versus vehicle collision is never fun. Particularly when a train takes over a mile to stop. Glad everyone is OK.

seeing that next train fly by shows you how bad the hit could have been. that's a very lucky driver.
Ron, your conversation and narration are very informative in this video.
It’s good to see you Ron.
