Your composure and ability to so politely yet assertively ask the man to not get under the load -after seeing him re-rig it- is a key to safety. I hope the people who haven't worked in dangerous fields know sketchy this was at times.
Mike is certainly a valued assistant on these jobs. Great work
I’ve noticed the increase in Mike’s confidence. He seems much more comfortable working with the rotator. I can see the day coming he will be fully capable of handling any incident.
It's a good feeling when you get home from climbing on top of buildings in -12 degrees celsius and snow, refresh the UA-cam page and see that Ron posted a video "10 seconds ago"! Greetings from Norway!
vicinetwork321 hello, sounds like my old type of work, REFRIGERATION UNITS ON TO OF ROOFS, SUMMER OR WINTER COLD & sometimes in snow,, Cheers FROM NJ,,,USA🇳🇴🇺🇸
Oh, and looking forward to the next Code 3 video ;)
@@flybyairplane3528 Telecom here! Ofcourse all the outdoor jobs come in as soon as we get sub zero temps...
Norway is such a beautiful country. I used to live in Northern Canada but do admit that now at retirement age I don't miss the long dark winters. Bad enough here in New England.
Ron, I love your videos. Your comments about the old bridge brought back a lot of memories. I drove truck in the late 70's and crossed that bridge lots of times. Keep up the great work. May God continue to bless you and your family.
"Props to the guys for keeping things safe..." I see what ya did there!
johnaclark1 too funny
Yes indeed, I *BOW* to their professionalism!!
@@PatrickWagz That pun needs a stern warning.
Patrick Wagz but they need a STERN warning to maintain their wheel bearings
Oh please, Knot another set of puns.
Must be a pretty good size ship to use that size of " screws"... the biggest ones I've ever seen were on the USS New Jersy and USS Missouri with out tiny DDG in between in dry dock at Philadelphia Naval base - ship yard .. back in 1983 - 84 . to see those Ladies up close my thought was " good lord, our little ship doesn't have a chance up against one of these giants". To all the other Vets, this Vet thanks you for your service. To the families of those who didn't make it back home, my heart felt prayers go out to you for your loss and sacrifice.
This Veterans day, take a minute to think of why we have what we have.
Love the extra camera angles at the end, my 4.5 yr old grandson loves to watch your videos when he comes over and I let him due to your professionalism, he is learning a lot. Thank you!
Yes, isn't it wonderful knowing it's safe to let young children watch knowing they will be given a good example to follow.
My wife and I have twin grandsons that'll be 4 years old in March 2020. They can be hellions at times, but, they're also SO much fun! They love watching Midwest Truck videos too. They're also big fans of the Cars movies by Pixar (as are my wife and I lol!), so they know who "Mater" is when they see him in Rons trucks. When a video has the big rotator in it, I always tell the boys that her name is Tator and that's what Mater wants to be when he grows up. I'm an owner operator truck driver and I've seen many heavy wreckers in action over the years, including this rotator, as well as Midwests Western Star/Vulcan. Luckily, I've never needed one myself, but, the capabilities of the trucks, as well as the professionalism of (most of) their operators always amazes me. The boys also love "paw paws truck". However, sometimes I think they'd rather ride in Rons Pete than my Freightliner!

"Props" to you, Ron and Mike for a job well done. Blessings to all.
Yes indeed, I *BOW* to their professionalism!!
It's good to watch a you tube channel with NO cussing and a christian to boot thankyou brother
Man I like watching you work thanks for the videos
If I'd ever win the lottery this is the type of tow truck that I'd buy! Beautiful and useful in many situations.
I hope Mike and the rest of the crew really appreciate having a boss like Ron! Coming from a Bricklayer and Foreman for the past 10 years off an on, Ron is about as good as they come. My first time watching these videos and I can't stop watching. Not just in a boss but teaching, respectful, SAFE, and actually leading by example is non existent these days. Impressive to watch. I'm in Arnold, MO. You hiring? I'd love to work for you. Be Safe out there. Godspeed men!
You know the Herminator??
Thanks Ron, the only thought I had at the end was BOYS WITH THEIR TOYS. LOL..WE HAVE A SET OF TRAIN HORNS ON OUR BIG RIG. LOL. PEOPLE MOVE.....GREAT VIDEO GLAD NI ONE WAS HURT...GOD BLESS .
The last two minutes was so worth the wait! Awesome video with an amazing ending! Thanks for the treat Sir!
shhhh
;-)
Can I get one of those sirens on my sedan?
@@vectorm4no you can't. Only certain states allow Recovery trucks
To have them. And you're only allowed to when the law enforcement agency requests it. And not all states allow it, Missouri
Does, and Illinois doesn't.
Its a privilege to watch the master at work Ron you bring light to many a persons day god bless
Your crew takes over when their crew just stands there. Smart Mike.
huge prop so far inland is like the old sailor joke.
" when I retire from the navy I am gonna strap a set of oars on my roof and head inland till someone asks what are those things on your roof??"
Just watch out that the grand kids don't pull the plug outta the bung hole in the basement or you may just be holding onto your OARS!
Hey thank you for talking about that town and the sand bags! I remember the bus video! I felt horrible for all those people along the Mississippi who was affected by the floods!! Also I loved the puns! Giving "props" to those guys! And having the "wheel in the sky" was definitely a "Journey"!! LOL
Nothing beats the Q Sound. Be Safe and God Bless Sir.
Whens the q sound at?
Nevermind......
George Klipfel when was it??
Hi I’m a retired truck driver from California and I really enjoy your video’s keep-umm coming. I know California but I worked in the San Joaquin Valley and the High Sierras Love your rig it’s awesome brother God Bless 🙏🙏
i'd love to see the size of the bulb on that celing fan...
You can't use "high" because it'll rip the roof off!
I think it goes on a boat. It looks to big for a ceiling fan.
I would have to agree with welsh
I know. no one could afford it
@@markreetz1001 or low to much air lol honey could you turn the fan off the polar bears said they were getting to cold lol
Ron this video is SO fastinating, just love ALL your videos. Your rotator truck leaves me breathless
I remember that old bridge..never drove a semi over it..but a few boats behind my pickup..
Great job man..I enjoy hearing you talk through what you are doing...let's me learn and understand..
No one can backup like Ron and his crew!
I’ve watched, and enjoyed, all of your videos and especially appreciate your concern over safety. I thought of you when I read a local news story yesterday reporting the death of a tow truck operator who was killed while retrieving a disabled vehicle. Another vehicle drove right into him - and this was on a regular 2 lane rural road with lights flashing etc..There is no such thing as being too careful. There are too many distracted drivers out there. Stay safe and God bless.
Ron: I love your attention to safety. It's great watching such professionalism.
At least there were no over head wires and it wasn't raining. I remember that video of the flood and the bus. Holy cow, I'm glad I waited till the end of your video. That siren was worth the wait.
Hey Myself and 11yr old son love watching your videos your videos. Greeetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
I worked for the Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY. These props were lawn ornaments!! Great job.
Greetings, and continued thoughts and prayers from Ohio ..... Absolutely awesome video!! Beautiful weather, outstanding resolution clarity ... Safely and professionally done! As always, great job!!! Thank you for sharing! Stay safe and well, and be Blessed!
Another Quality Job by Ron and the Midwest Trucking Crew. 👍
Mr. Pratt. I just started following you 2 weeks ago and I very much enjoyed your videos. Your crew does a fantastic job. 👍
They're some dedicated props... Even spinning when they're not on the boat 🤣 The rotator lived up to its name
Great video, always enjoy watching you and your guys working. It was good to see Mike again, hope it means his father is doing better. Stay safe and God bless. 👍☺️
A simple job for Tator but a little tricky maneuverings but time-consuming. But when you have the "correct tools" you can make it look simple. That back mounted camera view was awesome today. It showed the angle those hubs were set at.
There seemed to be something wrong Ron, then I realised no overhead wires this time.
Really want to see you run a code 3 now...
Do a walk around of the traffic control pick up when it's done.
I liked seeing those screws. My father died working on a towboat on the Tennessee river 40 years ago next month.
it just remains a surprise every time what Ron or the crew is going to do again, I enjoy it every time, look forward to seeing another code 3 with your new siren. greetings from the Netherlands
Just amazing what modern tow trucks can do.
Your video title should be called "twin Screw Tator" because props are for airplanes, screws are for ships. Live your videos!
I like the Journey song reference "Wheel in the sky keeps on turning"
djplayskeys me too
I slapped a mirror on that bridge to in back in 64 with brand new 1964 Freightliner !!! I was 24 years old at the time heavy two way traffic at the time ,the world was mine. 79 now. God lives in my heart and I'm just one telling others.
I can't count the number of times I had to cross that old bridge, normally with my cheeks puckered tight...LOL. The old bridges between Cairo, IL, Wicklyffe, KY, and Charleston, MO are still up and are almost as bad, especially the one going into Missouri. Thanks for watching and God bless.
Mike: "I would love to have one of those, just don't know what I would do with it."
Driver: "People put them in their yards as decorations!"
Ron: "Why?"
Me: Whatever floats your boat.
I kinda agree with that. Even these older wheels are works of art. I'm not sure the neighbors would agree.
I have have grown up in the harbours of Rotterdam and worked for years as an Mechanical Engineer at a shipyard in Perth WA. Yes I can fully understand Mike. I'd love one of those in my front yard. I've installed a few under boats working on the shipyard.
Your Paramedic buddy from Down Under
The driver & Ron both said that they
are going to be reconditioned.
There's a restaurant just north of Milford, Delaware-Meding's Seafood-that has one from a Navy ship mounted on a set of posts and beam. It's a landmark around here.
For about $150k you can have one
Those props are some impressive works - at first when I looked at them I thought they were futuristic sculptures. LOL
This video is exactly like all the others Ron does... Respectful interesting and if you pay attention, you might mess up and learn something.
Keep up the good work and may God watch over you and continue to bless you and your family.
Those props are beautifully finished. Kudos to the craftsman who has made those items.
Thank you for your efforts in the production these videos.
Peace be the journey.
YESS!!! New code 3 siren!! Can't wait for the next code 3 response! Thanks for the sneak peak Ron!
"Props" to you guys getting a job done safe
That is a *perfect* add-on to the glorious rotator, thank you Ron
Now that’s a interesting and challenging recovery well done
No arc nemesis though.
@@gorillaau I was thinking the same!
That Mike the helper, sure was a chatty fella. He made me laugh a few times.
Yea I noticed that
Freshly painted. Nice.
I always stick around until the end. Good to the last frame. Stay safe.
Love that Tator. Like a small crane with BIG attitude.
Always a pleasure to watch may the Lord bless you and your crew for the work you guys do thank you :-) peace
Morning coffee with a Ron video 😎
Bedtime video for us in Australia!
Yes flyerbob good idea.
Wow. That Miller remote controller is Super Sweet.
I find your videos to be captivating Ron, once I begin watching, can't stop until the very end. The Tator is awesome! Wishing you all a safe & Prosperous New Year.
Good to see Mike
Wow those props were neat to see. Way back in the day I wrote the CNC program to machine those. I was a CNC programmer while going to College ( majored Computer Science, minor mathematician ). I was real good with math and that’s how I ended up programming.
I thought Mike was going to poke me in the eye in the bonus footage. :-)
That's a mighty big wind spinner you got there
Watched the entire Video (to the end) ...... Love to watch a true professional do his trade ! Well Done ! Maranatha !!!
Good jpb. You know, it is too bad that you don't have more people to tell you how to do your job. Your patience is commendable.
Nice change from a wreck from time to time. Also nice to see how the water has gone down from the bus video. Stay safe and God Bless.
Great hand signals from Mike!
I grew up in marion KY. Rode with Dad and have driving on most of the narrow bridges around west KY southern Illinois. Mo.
Cairo bridge and the Mississippi River bridge to Sikeston. Kentucky Dam and KY 80 had fun bridges as well. Keep up the good work.
Brookport bridge is a fun aswell
It's good to see Mike I hope his dad is doing better.
In about 2012 going to Bentonville Ark I was on the interstate. In front of me was a semi with qa flat bed trailer that was empty. I saw the jack knife but was so close I ran through the smoke not knowing where the truck was. It missed me and everyone else too. God was watching out for us that day. You never know what will happen and since then I give these guys a lot of running space in front of me.
EXCELLENT-- love this one.... Watched it several times already since you first listed it.. :)
33:13 reminds me of Phil Harris "watch the paint" when they smashed a prop into the side of his boat :D RIP Phil
Ron, your having way to much fun with that new toy, haha.
I prefer to watch your tapes then any movie you and your men are so good and interesting to watch how you work and that truck is just a marvel you don’t rush to get to the next job you do it right the first time you are very good person
Thanks for uploading a video at least once a week Ron. Great job. 👍🏻
It’s like these guys helping , never saw a chain break.
Friday night with Ron Pratt and his crew... Good job guys.
Good work, those props would be dangerous in high winds, without substantial tethers.
Thanks for sharing.
I remember the bridge very well. Hang on tight and suck in you breath. Great video.
Well I was gonna use the “props” joke too but too many other peeps beat me to it so when Ron is done with this he’ll have to propel himself to his next call.
So you're saying you're not the only fan to think of it?
It's really nice to see some truckers which know their loads to well that hey can even do the rigging for it. Cudos to them. I hardly ever see that. But man they are a big help and super good team work there as well. Man they should show this video at SWIFT training now to help Towing Companies like yours when they break down. Teamwork goes a really long way. Excellent video by the way.
Good to see Mike back. How's his Dad?
"Props", to you sir. Well done.
Yes indeed, I *BOW* to his professionalism!!
I'm over fifty and my inner eight year-old giggled when you fired up the Q :-)
Another great video.
Always look forward to Friday mornings just to see new videos from Ron.
We did not get to see the new traffic pickup that was mentioned but I have seen it on Facebook in the shop.
Good to see Mike back to work. Hopefully his dad is OK.
I am so excited about those amazing camera angles, and that ending ;) For those who stuck around hehe :) Ron, ive been watchin your channel for a little while now, and it all started by accident ( No pun intended Lol) And ive been watching you since. I thoroughly enjoy every video you have produced for our viewing pleasure. I honestly look forward to all your uploads. God Bless you, your family, and your crew of amazing workers/friends. Good Luck, and Godspeed Ron!
That was really great. Blessings. 🙏👠👠
Can not wait to see a walkabout on the blocker.
I can certainly understand when the guy said he has seen props on someone's drive!
They are real works of art and so beautiful, I would like one on my front lawn anyway, makes a change from a garden gnome!
Love the new safety truck, it sure will help keep you guys safe!
That must have been one of your most unusual calls! Very interesting.
Thanks for showing us and telling us about the water levels.
Wow those propellers are neat. Thank you
A interesting video Ron, another job well done Good to see Mike working with you hope his dad is doing good
Ron hope you your family and the Midwest crew have a safe and good Veterans weekend and you and the crew stay safe out there
And The Q sounds awesome
Lived in Paducah for a bit. The flooding in that whole area was insane!
Great video that is some machine so fun to watch it work
Impossible situation= possible by Ron. Unusual cargo, piece of cake.. or at least for Ron.. lol What a challenging transfer for you. In another state, on a 2 lane highway, with just Mikey to help out. Fantastic job and well done, gents!!! God bless and have a great day!
Hi Ron. I love watching the way you do things. I'm too old to drive wrecker anymore but, it's always a learning experience. Now, I don't know if you'll see this as it's a little late but, to clear something up for you, on airplanes they're called props. However for ships, those are called Screws. Ex NAVY man here. LOL Keep up the good work. :)
